Review: An extremely solid keyboard - I've only used a few mechanical keyboards, but this is superior to every one I've tried. It is expensive, but a very well-made keyboard. A few important points: - It can use cherry-style keycaps, but does a MUCH better job stabilizing the key. They key motion is solid. A regular cherry switch has a plus sign that goes up and down, and there seems to be more side-to-side play. These switches have a circular hole with a plus sign in the middle. The plus works the same, but the hole centers and stabilizes the up-and-down motion of the keycap. - The keycaps are nice. A nice combination of texture and smoothness. You can't feel the lettering, like with cheaper keycaps. Nice nubs on F and J. Since there are lots of manufacturers of cherry style keycaps, your customization options are much wider than other topre keyboards which are different. - You can change the actuation point, how far you press the key before it registers. I've used other mechanical keyboards where resting my fingers on the keys will generate unintentional keystrokes. You can either change the actuation point for all keys at once, or it seems the software allows you to tune it for each key individually. - the lighting effects are fun (but honestly I turned if off after initially playing with it). You don't really see the keys light up since they are black, you really see light in the space around the keys. Lighting is actually useful when configuring though. For instance, when configuring the activation point, the keyboard lights up blue/green/red for high/medium/low key activation point. - I use it on a mac. I swapped Command and Option in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys. I also pried the keys loose and swapped them on the keyboard. (windows key is command/apple key) - on mac os x el capitan, it works wonderfully with F12 working for eject and ctrl-alt-win+F12 shutting down the system. - on macos sierra, apple pulled out F12 functionality and this keyboard can't do these useful shortcuts (affects all non-apple keyboards). - the software is windows-only. Haven't needed to use it since important things are configurable with Fn+key. It lets you do cool things though, like custom lighting effects and per-key actuation points. Some wishes: - I wish when each key bottomed out, it was softer. My fingers seem to notice the jarring. - When a key is released and returns to the top of travel - it makes noise. It's most noticeable with the space bar. This is really the major source of noise this keyboard makes. - Wouldn't mind having completely standard keycap labels. For example, the 5 key says 5% at the top instead of 5 with % above. Review: Best Keyboard I've ever used, coming from MX Cherry Blues - Feels really, really good to type on. I'm coming from Cherry MX Blues. I've tried Cherry MX Reds but didn't like the linear style for typing and really liked the Blues for their tactile feedback (both sound and feel) when typing. My previous keyboard was the Corsair Vengeance K70 Cherry MX Blues, so that's what I'll be comparing them to. What I liked about the Cherry MX Blues were that it felt good to type on (due to the tactile feedback and partly the sound as well, as opposed to Reds which made me have lots of typos). The Realforce RGB's Topre switches feel even better to type on than the Blues. They are obviously much quieter as well which is less annoying for when you're talking with someone on the phone or over Discord, etc. The one small thing though that doesn't make this all-around perfect and an upgrade over Blues are when spamming a single key. I felt that between the Topre switches and the MX Cherry Blue switches, the Blues are probably better for gaming if you need to spam a single button a lot (e.g. spamming a key in anticipation of it coming off of cooldown). But it's not as though hitting a single key repeatedly on this is bad. The best example I can think of is hitting the Backspace key on this keyboard. It feels so much more different and so much better than my Blues. I feel like the whole deleting-things process is faster as I always hit the Backspace button faster and the exact amount of times I need to. Every time I type on this thing, it just feels so noticeably good (similar to Blues, but even better). I also really liked the Actuation Point Changer, as I didn't know which one I would prefer of the three possible Actuation Points. Being able to find out with this keyboard was a nice big bonus. As for the RGB, I don't care much for it and isn't something that I'll be using. I would have loved a USB pass-through, something that my cheaper Corsair Vengeance keyboard had. You can also disable keys if you download the software and disable them from there (I've disabled both Windows keys and the Actuation Point Changer key since I know which one I like best, the 1.5mm, and won't be changing it). So, for heavy gamers, I probably wouldn't recommend this keyboard because of the slower spamming on top of the price. You should probably go with Reds (but if you can't stand the super smooth and fast linearity/spammability of Reds or the sound of Blues, Brown is a nice middle ground). Would still definitely recommend for anyone who uses a keyboard everyday with light gaming (or if you don't care that it's slightly slower for spamming), as I'm very happy with this keyboard and will still use this even while gaming. ## Features - 108-Key us ANSI layout w/English legends and cherry mx compatible double shot plastic keycaps for excellent durability - All-45g weighted 4mm travel topre electrostatic capacitive key switches with topre actuation point change (apc) technology - 16.8 Million color user-configurable backlighting (windows software available) + n-key rollover (usb interface) - Dimensions: 460 Γ— 140 Γ— 43 mm (18 x 5.5 X 1.7In), weight: 1.4Kg (3 lbs. 1oz) - Made in japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MU1LUQD | | Additional Features | Travel | | Antenna Location | Travel | | Brand | Realforce | | Button Quantity | 108 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC, Laptop, Gaming Console | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 37 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00700755679765 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 18"L x 5.5"W x 1.7"H | | Item Weight | 2.3 Pounds | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Mechanical | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Manufacturer | Topre | | Mfr Part Number | a17 | | Model Number | a17 | | Number of Keys | 108 | | Power Source | USB Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Travel | | Special Feature | Travel | | Style Name | Contemporary | | Switch Type | Tactile | | UPC | 700755679765 | ## Images ![Realforce RGB 108-key Backlit Mechanical Keyboard (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZpdNG-RjL.jpg) ![Realforce RGB 108-key Backlit Mechanical Keyboard (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eEr2fAAAL.jpg) ![Realforce RGB 108-key Backlit Mechanical Keyboard (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712VPM1mWPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An extremely solid keyboard *by M***2 on January 13, 2017* I've only used a few mechanical keyboards, but this is superior to every one I've tried.

Fit and finish is excellent and the backlighting, for me, is just about right, giving the board a clean look without being too obnoxious. I've wanted a good RGB setup for a while and this one hits the mark. Typing feel is smooth with just enough bounce for my personal taste. It does not feel like a typical rubber dome at all. Those usually feel mushy or numb, while the Topre actuates with a satisfying amount of feedback. It doesn't have the clicky-ness of a typical Cherry MX, etc. but the well-known "thock" is definitely there. Pros: Solid build, clean overall design. Keycaps can be replaced with Cherry MX style ones if you want, as they are compatible. With their software, there are several ways you can customize the keys in terms of RGB colors; and three levels of actuation points on every key (this is only possible with the Topre switches) Once set, the preferences are stored on the keyboard internally, so you can take it anywhere and not lose your settings. You can cycle through presets and factory patterns with hotkeys. I love being able to custom set color on each individual key, even have just the ones you want on and the others off, etc. Tons of options. USB cord is nice and long, with its own velcro wrap. Channels underneath the keyboard allow for snugly aligning the cable at three different points: out the back or on either side. Feet are rubberized, giving it a solid footing whether flat or the little leg tabs pulled out. Cons: There is definitely a rattle that happens when the keys bottom out. It doesn't bother me that much and the overall noise doesn't seem louder than Cherry MX Blues which are loud in their own way. But for some, it may be obnoxious, although dampening may help. The unit is built solidly but in the end it is still plastic. I carry it around with me in a neoprene case (i wanted to use it at work, but not leave it there) but I noticed that it got tweaked once where tit wouldn't lie flat, probably when I set it down too hard once or twice. It was easy to snap back into place to fix the warp, but it was disconcerting. I ended up getting a 60% Filco board for traveling, so it's not a big deal and the full size makes it hard to carry anyways. Programming software was PC only at the time of purchase. The unit works fine on a Mac, but be aware you can't program it natively and I couldn't get it to work via VMWare. Function and media keys are all PC-centric but do work on a Mac. You may want to replace the caps with Mac styled ones though. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/37664014-realforce-rgb-108-key-backlit-mechanical-keyboard-black](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/37664014-realforce-rgb-108-key-backlit-mechanical-keyboard-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
