While it is very possible you have never heard of Topre, the Japanese keyboard manufacturer has teamed-up with Seasonic to bring their Realforce RGB keyboard to market. The stand-out feature of the Realforce RGB is undoubtedly the Actuation Point Changer (APC) technology – this lets you adjust the actuation point of the keyboard's switches on a per-key basis, with a choice of 1.5mm, 2.2mm and 3mm actuation distances available.
While we were excited to get hands-on with the Topre Realforce RGB, it is worth mentioning the price straight-away: $279 in the US. In the UK, Topre distribute their keyboards through The Keyboard Company, and they currently have the Realforce RGB listed for £258.98. In any case, it is a lot of money for a keyboard, so let's get right to it and see if it's worth buying.

An interesting concept, proooobably not worth the price though, especially as one would tend to settle on any one actuation distance. I literally just bought the K70 RGB Rapidfire for tomorrow, a dream keyboard of mine, solely because for some reason it’s cheap as chips on Amazon. So that’s also a thing :L
Goodluck with that K70 RGB it looks amazing, slightly jealous. I almost went with it a month ago when upgrading my 2 year old K70 Red, the build quality is solid and that aluminium feeling never grows old. Only thing that stopped me was not being able to try the switches before I bought it, oh and the Roccat Ryos MK FX was £89 in Currys and I fell in love with the Cherry browns.
When I read Topre Realforce RGB and £260 I thought we had it………a analog keyboard on the market…..oh well back to stalking ‘The Wooting One’ Website.
Would you say the actuation force is something like a Cherry red through black (variable) but with the initial bump of a Cherry brown, sort of like you get with a standard membrane keyboard? Just so he doesn’t feel left out, the typing test sounded like our favourite clicky friend the Cherry blue. Got to give you Kudos for doing this keyboard review, I bet it had you scratching your head a bit trying to describe it.
The actuation force stays the same, it is the actuation distance that changes. As for the feel of the switch, it is really hard to describe – its like no Cherry MX switch I’ve ever used. It has a definite, strong tactile bump but there is no click as with MX Blues, but the rubber dome also gives it a slightly spongy feel as you bottom the key out. Hope that helps…
