Topre Realforce R2 TKL PFU Limited Edition (R2TLSA-US4-IV) - Typing Sounds

[@jon-umber]

I have this board in black and fullsize, and this is an excellent representation of exactly what it sounds like. Thanks for posting.

[@kivxlee]

Yes, and here you are www.realforce.co.jp/en/products/R2SA-US4-BK/

[@jon-umber]

@@kivxlee Yep, that's the one! Love it.

[@skycorrigan6511]

I just ordered the ivory pfu limited full size for work. I'm pumped!

[@kivxlee]

Good choice.

[@CBODKA]

Perfect sound 😍

[@TC-hf2lh]

I'm typing this comment using this exact board. It's so so good.

[@theosborneguy]

Great video, and a lovely sound from that keyboard. Question - where did you purchase the ☠️ skull and crossbones keycap? I haven't been able to find any custom keycaps readily available for Realforce boards. Thanks!

[@kivxlee]

It's from "Hot Keys Project"

[@VoladorMagic]

Is this silenced version or standard one ?? Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏻

[@kivxlee]

Silenced version :P

真的不錯打

Sounds great, think I will be ordering this TKL Topre over the Leopold... Where's the ESC cap from?

A Realforce is my endgame keyboard. I'm using a knockoff electrocapacitive (ABKO Hacker) and I love it but I want a genuine made in Japan Topre keyboard.

[@wholesalechungus]

Quick question, what's the wrist rest you're using in this showcase? It'll probably go very well with several TKL's of mine

[@kivxlee]

ASUS ROG Gaming wrist rest.

[@mylearningsources6332]

What is the color of the original slider, sir? I heard that the 45g is purple whereas 30g and 55g are black switches

[@danielmccc6536]

for the price, i think they should've made the cable braided and detachable... I don't know why they failed to do that

[@kivxlee]

That's my question, too.

[@BigGulpsV2]

Because its for office use. Dont want people stealing the cables.

[@danielmccc6536]

so if the cable is attached to the cable, thieves don't steal the keyboard?

[@johnbreaker3874]

I'm wonder if this model still having the "clack" sound that really familiar in spacebar of almost all the Realforce and HHKB keyboard after a time using it. I've 3 hhkbs and 1 realforce, they all have the same "clack" sound after being used for 3+ months.

[@Croustibite]

The PFU limited edition is supposed to have silenced switches. Would be interesting to see if it ends up doing the same sound you described, but it would be suprising

[@johnbreaker3874]

@@Croustibite I've used both HHKB and Realforce silenced, and the clacky sound always came after ~3months, no matter what.

[@YaroLord]

late to the party, but maybe you're talking about stabilizer ping? that can get pretty annoying... you can solve it by disassembling the keyboard and lubing the stab wires with a thick, plastic friendly lube such as krytox XHT-BDZ

[@inanimatestove]

Where did you get the keycap on the escape key? Is it a topre keycap or do you use adaptors? Nice vid man

[@kivxlee]

Topre caps from Hot Keys Project

[@deasesebago]

Are those the stock keycaps?

[@kivxlee]

yes

[@JamesThomas-tu6ix]

Do you find Topre 45g too light? Is it heavier than an mx red or mx brown or is it about the same weight?

[@kivxlee]

My experience is heavier than red or brown

[@JamesThomas-tu6ix]

Jayin Lee Do you find it light enough to type on for long periods of time?

[@kivxlee]

@@JamesThomas-tu6ix I think it's ok, but my hands are not your hands.

[@looper6120]

RGB version does not have silent switches right? And the keycaps are also not pbt keycaps... That was really a deal breaker for me...

[@kivxlee]

IIRC, RGB one doesn't. However, u can still make it silent by some modification.

[@cryohellinc]

To make it perfect - you need to lube it.

[@자메이카먹]

can i use this sound (only sound) for my video? 😲😲 sound is really good!

[@kivxlee]

Of course not

[@grandeteddy]

did u loob or stock? great sounds

[@kivxlee]

[@R.C.Bullar]

This may be a dumb question, but how did you get a reversed spacebar? I thought this cap set had an even spacebar? Really interested

[@oatsmilks]

ik im one year late but he just flipped the spacebar upside down lol

[@truongvuonghuy6760]

Can you tell me the difference between pfu limited edition and standard edition?

[@kivxlee]

PFU is silenced and the appearance is more good-looking I thought.

[@viewty40555]

請問大大，空格鍵是用什麼方法取下的？ 拔了好久，搞得手超痛... 怕兩邊太用力，會從中間斷掉 鋼絲的拔鍵器不夠長。用一般塑膠的，由於鍵帽卡太緊，一下子就會滑出來...

[@kivxlee]

Topre的鍵帽我記得只要往上拔就起來了耶！

[@escarlai]

great sound, very relaxing. where r buy it bro?

[@skycorrigan6511]

Fujitsu website has them. On sale rn as well

[@kivxlee]

I bought i from TAOBAO

[@joeysaph]

what kind of feel is this keyboard? tactile or more similar to linear?

[@kivxlee]

Tactile

[@appleborbs5065]

Is this variable weight?

I didn't mod it.

[@Burmingkickstand756]

Where can I buy it

[@kivxlee]

I am not sure. I bought it from another person.

[@PurpMcSquirt]

I have the unsilenced normal version of this if anyone wants to ask any questions!

[@PurpMcSquirt]

@Robert Kochan I don't know which feels higher quality, but they both feel great. I'm really liking the 55g, nice tactile and a good weight for me. If feel is important to you i'd go for the 55, if noise is important to you i'd go PFU.

[@2h145]

@Jayin Lee did you find any keys has spring noise when you type on it?? I got a lot strong spring sounds when I type on it :( feels bad man...

[@kivxlee]

I don't really notice any spring noise LOL. Maybe you can try to lube them to improve typing feel.

[@thelongnguyens]

Hey @jayin, I have been looking at Leopold FC980C to buy then came across this R2 PFU LE. Would you suggest to get this over the FC980C? I like full sized keyboard.

[@kivxlee]

I think both of them are nice keyboards. Just take the layout you prefered.

[@viewty40555]

手感和舊版的有什麼不同?

老實說，感覺不出什麼明顯的差別

[@kivxlee]

Yeah, but this one is not a mechanical keyboard.

[@Alemdar-2007]

Lmfaoo.

[@ko7577]

Ugh. That chalky scrape I hear on every modern keyboard. Do they make anything but this junk anymore? And you can tell what it causes: complete fricking confusion to a typist. Even the positive reviews have typing tests that show that "WTF am I doing" hand reflex on a keyboard like this where the hands stall, get confused, and then have to re-start typing. There's no flow to it.
