Realforce RGB @ LanOC Reviews

The force is real with this one.  I mean with a name like Realforce you'd better start pumping that iron and draggin that sled because you'll be in for a real workout.

Or, you know it could be just a compact keyboard with RGB lighting effects and a marketing department who is completely out of ideas.  I know, I've been there.

Over the past few years the market for mechanical keyboards with RGB backlighting has gone crazy. The problem though is all of those RGB keyboards have had Cherry switches, knock off cherry switches, or a few custom switches designed by companies like Logitech and SteelSeries. One of my favorite mechanical switch types is Topre, but with the exception of a few knockoffs you haven’t been able to get Topre keyboards with any backlighting, let alone full RGB backlighting. So when Realforce introduced their upcoming keyboard, the Realforce RGB I had to check it out. Of all of the keyboards I have my Realforce 87u is one of my favorites to type on, but the lack of backlighting or even easy to read legends in the light forced me to keep it put up. So it will be exciting to see how Realforce’s new keyboard performs to see how it compares.

Keyboards are huge business and while a plain rubber dome is all you need to make letters appear on the screen there are some people out there that want a little more from their PC experience and need to make a little more click in life.
