About:

This is Topre's gaming keyboard. While the keyboard uses Topre switches it has Cherry MX stems therefore you can use ANY Cherry MX standard aftermarket key-caps! There is software for the RGB backlight. The software is not as custmizable as Razer's or Corasair's or even Logitech's (not many RGB profiles) but you can select which keys to lock in gaming mode (so you don't hit the windows key just as you pop your ult in Overwatch) This is pretty much your only option if your chasing the gamer look and prefer Topre switches, Cooler Master also makes a Topre based gaming keyboard however its version is more subdued and does not feature RGB backlighting. Topre makes these, they just have a partnership in the north American markets with Seasonic to handle the warranty claims of North American customers and due to Seasonic being a famous company in PC gamer circles. You can change the activation point of each key from 1.5mm, 2.2mm or 3.0mm. Heavy (3 pounds but there are claims this is dead weight to make the keyboard feel worth it). Some found the regular non RGB Topre switches on Happy Hacking Keyboards and Filco's to be better. Some think the LED colours of one key affect the other and its looks messy compared to other RGB keyboards due to the translucent key-caps. The switches are louder than other Realforce keyboards. Comes with optional key spacers that you can use on often used keys such as WASD in gaming. It's got built in media keys. Offers a spring on the space bar that you can off and a detachable wrist rest

Pros:

  • Can change activation point
  • Can use any after market Cherry MX key-caps
  • Heavy case wont slide when your pounding the keys demanding your GAMER FUEL and chanting RAISE UP in your microphone.
  • Optional key spacer
  • Your only option for Topre + RGB

Cons:

  • Heaviness may be due to filler wight
  • Louder than other keyboards with Topre switches
  • RGB software is not as custmizable as that of other RGB gamer focused keyboard's
  • Some users said the switches are not as smooth as on other Topre keyboards

Additional Comments:

  • All of Topre keyboards have a nice 2 year warranty by Seasonic in the USA
  • A review of the RGB Topre keyboard, “Soon after my encounter with the Seasonic Topre REALFORCE RGB AEAX01, my typing became addictive, as it was providing me with sensational orgasms. I was rushed into Grammercy Emergency when they realized what was happening, so Dr. Steinberg had to think quickly. The Dr. Has removed all nerve endings in all fingertips to prevent cosmic orgasm syndrome from happening again. Three months later I have completed a two month outpatient and my wife has left me. At least I still have my Seasonic Topre REALFORCE RGB AEAX01.”
  • The key puller that comes with Topre keyboards is bad, it may scratch the keys, get a different one
