REALFORCE utilizes an original Topre capacitive contactless key switch mechanism. When the two electrodes inside the switch come close together (without physical contact) the sensor recognizes this as a key press. No chattering. Durable and long-lasting.

Topre's unique APC (Actuation Point Changer) functionality allows all R3KEYBOARD models to have an adjustable actuation point (ONposition) for each individual key switch at 4 steps: 0.8mm, 1.5mm, 2.2mm, and 3.0mm. (R2 models are 3 steps only: 1.5mm, 2.2mm, and 3.0mm). This allows for optimization of the response speed of the key switches. For example, keys that need to be pressed quickly can be set to a shorter setting (e.g. 0.8mm) and keys that are often pressed by mistake can be set to a deeper setting (e.g. 3.0mm) to minimize input errors. If you feel the key travel is too long the optional key spacers (2mm or 3mm) can be installed under the keycaps to speed up the return of the key switches for quicker keystrokes. In addition, by shortening the keystroke depth, the keystroke touch and feel changes to that of a thin keyboard and key noise is reduced.

No need to press down on the keys, The force adjusts naturally over the entire key stroke.

REALFORCE R3 users can customize and save settings directly to the keyboard’s onboard memory. Features include APC (Actuation Point Changer) with adjustable actuation depths from 0.8mm to 3.0mm (APC models only), custom key remapping, dual key layout switching, ECO mode for wireless models, firmware updates, and heat map visualization for usage tracking. Users can also customize the keyboard panel design with the optional Design Panel Kit.
