I had my eye on one if these for the longest time but never would justify spending almost $300 on one. Still would like one if I came across a spare $300 through a sale or such. Have they gone out of production? Seems like it, can't find one anywhere.
Realforce 104UG "Hi-Pro" out of production?

Rats, my heart is broken. Seems like the Japanese layout is also out of production. Probably wasn't a hot seller.

Are you referring to the key cap tooling? Because the case is probably the same as the other Realforce keyboards.subcat wrote: 27 Jun 2019, 16:17 moreover, the tooling is ancient and difficult to work with, apparently

the ones on amazon jp are priced absurdly high because stock is drying up. who knows, maybe one day 32,000 jpy for a used one will be considered reasonable though
