Topre Realforce R3S Fullsize Capacitive Keyboards

Topre capacitive contact less key switch

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 (more then 100 million presses)
• Durable PBT keycaps
• Laser printing
• 45g Silent Capacitive switching

APC (Actuation Point Changer)

Topre’s unique APC (Actuation Point Changer) functionality allows all R3 Keyboard models to have an adjustable actuation point (On position) for each individual key switch at 4 steps: 0.8mm, 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.

Realforce software for further customization

Realforce R3 users can access the following settings and save their custom settings to the on-board memory.

• APC (Actuation Point Changer) setting: Adjust the actuation point depth of each key by selecting from 0.8mm, 1.5mm, 2.2mm, or 3.0mm. Available only on models with APC.
• Panel design customization: Customize the keyboard frame with your favorite design and print it on the panel sheet. (The optional Design Panel Kit and a supported inkjet printer are required.)
• Heat map: Allows you to visually check the keys you use most often and adjust them using APC or other customizable settings.
• Custom Keymap function: Allows you to change the key assignments as desired.
• Key layout switching function: Switch between two key layouts (A or B) on the fly depending on the application or OS. (R3 Keyboard only.)
• Firmware update: You can update your Realforce Keyboard firmware by yourself via the software UI.
• Onboard memory: Allows you to save your custom settings to the keyboard itself for use in office environments where software cannot be installed on the PC.

Key shape suitable for high-speed input

Key layout is a ‘Step Sculpture’ design. Each row of keys has a different shape when viewed from the side to match the movement of the fingers. This is ideal for touch typing (typing without looking at the keys), as it allows for accurate operation with less finger movement, reducing the stress on the fingers.

Chatter free

The hysteresis between the switch On (press input) and Off (release input) positions prevents double input (chattering), which is one of the causes of malfunction. An advantage of capacitance-free switches is that there is no contact point (as there is in mechanical or membrane switches) which structurally prevents double input (chattering) and provides a stable input environment for a long time.

Full n-key rollover

All keys can be pressed at the same time and all keys will be recognized in the same order as they are pressed. All keys are input correctly even if they are pressed simultaneously during high-speed typing. Professional operators and gamers can use the keyboards with confidence.

Designed for comfortable typing

The key press input occurs by pushing down the conic ring, which has no force impact on typing. The rubber dome is designed with tactility as a priority to enhance comfort.

Soft tactile feeling that is gentle on the fingers

The key press force changes gently and you can feel the full stroke. There is no need to bottom out when typing, which reduces the stress on your fingers.
