I wish RealForce would make some more interesting small designs like the Plum/NiZ boards.
I have a Plum nano75 45g RGB and it's astoundingly awesome.
Would love to have the even higher quality builds of RealForce in some more modern and smaller layouts, including wireless (which is awesome). Typing wirelessly on my iPad with a Topre clone is out of this world awesome.

turbineseaplaneIn terms of smaller Topre boards your options are pretty slim, even slimmer than the selection of Topre boards already:
* HHKB Professional 2 BT * HHKB JP BT * HHKB Pro 2 / HHKB Pro 2 Type-S w/ Hasu BT Controller Board (currently typing this post using this board to type this post) * HHKB Professional JP w/ Hasu BT Controller Board (I have a JP with the USB controller, planning on upgrading to Bluetooth for this model as well).

brianjkingThanks - I was really more just making a comment out loud vs seeking options. I've had a few HHKB's. Makes compromises I don't really enjoy personally.

turbineseaplaneThere is also the Leopold 660C, which has all the quality of the realforce boards in a smaller package.

OtodoI'm looking to buy a highend mech, I'm coming from Filco Majestouch TKL mx browns and Das 3 MX browns. It looks like topre switches are really good. I really had my eyes set on this board, but I think I might buy it off of amazon.jp like an earlier post mentioned. Is there any other keyboards I should look into before I make my purchase?

steeezyThe Leopold 980c and the aforementioned Leopold 660c are both great, as are the rest of the Realforce line. You might also consider building a keyboard yourself if you want something really special.

OtodoThank you for the recommendations! I hear a lot of things about hhkb are they any good? Do you have a ranking system of these boards?

steeezyIt's not a situation where one is better than the other. The ones I listed are all top of the line, from there it's just personal preference in regards to switch weight, keyboard size, color, key profile, etc.

steeezyThe hhkb, unlike the realforces and leopolds, lacks a steel backplate. This makes it feel flimsy/toylike to some people.

Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?
Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
