Was gonna wait for the new GH before posting this, but since MMB decided to post his HHKB version, I figured I should post my realforce dyesubbed version.

Been using this set with my RF 87u 55g since I got both of them on monday.

Sweet!

How much did you pay for it?

Daemon Raccoon · 01 Jul 2012, 04:29

Piiiiiink!

thegunner100 · 01 Jul 2012, 04:36

$279 USD for the RF 87u 55g
$110 USD for the dyesub topre set
$13.61 USD for shipping

$402.61 USD in total, it wasn't cheap but well worth it!

Looks like pink fever is going around...

... Not my cup of tea, but each to his own!

Here's where the other keys went, if anyone was wondering. Wasn't gonna just spend $110 for the modifiers

I personally prefer the RF setup with the pink mods and white keys, which also allows me to use the alphas for the HHKB.

Gorgeous! I am super jelly ._.

I'm jealous! I had planned on buying a pink keycap set and a matching HHKB (or was it the other way around?) in Japan, but couldn't find Topre keycaps anywhere. At least I was able to find the HHKB for a good price, but I still can't decide on what to do with the keycaps. EK seems to be the best alternative, but $50 shipping...

Anyway, my favourite of your pictures above is the white RF with white keys and pink modifiers. Looks the best! You should try the pink modifiers setup on the HHKB too, I think. Could look fantastic.

Why is there a hole for an LED in the Ctrl key? That makes no sense to me.

Because the Realforce has a DIP switch mode that swaps Caps and Ctrl, for true UNIX experience!

It'll probably be cheaper for you to get someone in the US to buy it, and then forward it to you if you live outside the US.

As for the pink modifiers on the HHKB, it won't work with the dyesubbed set because the keys will be mislabeled; it'll only work with blank keys, which i'm not ready to spend almost the same amount for non-printed.

Price of topre set here in China is lower~~

I'm not surprised, but how much lower is it?

If they're significantly cheaper at taobao, it might be better for qtan or imsto to get it for us.

Lin just checked for me, they're actually more expensive on taobao than EK
