Pros & Cons
Pros
Great keyboard for typing - very happy with it. I am one of the world's fastest typists, and this is the second-best keyboard you can buy right now imho. For the fellow keyboard generalist willing to drop a pretty penny on this, there's no reason not ... Read More
New to the mk scene. Forget arguing about what keyboard is best, this is the champ. As perfect as you can get, imo.
The keyboard is already one of the quietest i have used. It has a distinct lack of 'clackiness' that you hear with the blues.
This keyboard has a 2 key rollover. The combination of tactility and smoothness is something you can't get with cherry and clones. It comes with a keycap puller, extra switchable caps and control keys.
The plastic-coated carbon fiber square is something i could do without. This contributes to the amazing sound the board makes. This is apparently know to happen, and was resolved easily by grasping either end of the board and giving a small, firm twis... Read More
Cons
There is so much dampening it feels like you lose the tactility. It advertises the bounce; there is none when it comes to the usual topre feedback.

So far, the realforce has lived up to its name and the typing experience has been amazing, it's pretty silent and the quality o... Read More

But they really need to improve their product quality cuz when i pay 350 for a damn keyboard i wanna pay for the quality, not the novelty.
Price
The price is worth it, as this is my forever board—ie.
If the price doesn't bother you, definitely get it.
However, i really cannot justify the price tag on this thing.
First, the price is pretty high for a keyboard.
Packaging/appearance
The thicker the mat, the even quieter the bottoming out of the topre switch will be.
The box also contains two rubber mats in different thicknesses that can be installed on the plate by first removing the keycaps.
The magnanimity radiated from the packaging as i slowly opened the realforce box, i immediately smelled the whiff of freedom, t... Read More
This would be a 60% fully programmable model built like the rf, with topre switches mounted in a steel plate instead of case-mo... Read More
Competitiveness
The zilents are perhaps even quieter than the silenced topre switches in the rf, but the rf is definitely more elegant and refined.
I use this board for work because of the f1-12 and arrow keys, and really there's no competition.
This special edition of the topre realforce r2 line of keyboards does not possess nkro.
That is because topre switches are non-contact based.

The only downsides for me are that i wish it had a volume wheel instead of buttons there are very limited options for keycaps the black on black is very hard to see even in light would be nice if it was backlit and it is definitely over priced

However you can and absolutely should switch the caps and control keys
