==Introduction==
The '''Dharmapoint Tactical Keyboard DRTCKB91UBK''' is a 91 key [[JIS]] layout keyboard made by [[Topre]] for Dharmapoint (typeset DHARMAPOINT or DHARMA POINT), a Japanese computer gaming peripheral company. It is the only Topre keyboard that Dharmapoint offered and it is no longer in production.

==Description==
The DRTCKB91UBK is essentially a rebranded 91UBK [[Realforce]] keyboard with some cosmetic and functional modifications that set it apart from a normal Realforce keyboard. A 'DHARMAPOINT' logo occupies the nameplate section in the top-left corner where the 'REΛLFORCE' logo would normally appear. The [[keycap|keycaps]] are [[laser etching|laser etched]] and the legends are in a much larger font size than any Realforce keyboard. It is also one of the only Topre keyboards available in the [[tenkeyless]] form factor that has 30 g uniform weighted keys, and in fact the only 30 g board available in 91-key JIS layout. Key-stoppers and an operational manual are also supplied with the keyboard.

[[DIP switch|DIP switches]] are present on the bottom and serve the following functions (as per the Operation Manual provided with the keyboard):

==Uniform weight issue==
The keyboard attracted some criticism from customers about its advertised 30 g uniform weighting. Some users felt that the switches on the DRTCKB91UBK were noticeably heavier than 30 g<ref name="angrydude_1">amazon.co.jp - [http://www.amazon.co.jp/review/R395OR4UG19C9C Customer review of DRTCKB91UBK]</ref><ref name="angrydude_2">amazon.co.jp - [http://www.amazon.co.jp/review/R3J3J4DUWXC9BR Customer review of DRTCKB91UBK]</ref>. There is very likely some truth to these claims, because when compared side by side with the Realforce 89S (which is also a 30 g uniform keyboard), the required force to actuate is noticeably higher on the DRTCKB91UBK. The negative feedback from users was compelling enough for Dharmapoint to issue a statement on its product page<ref name="DP_backpedal">(Wayback Machine) dharmapoint.com &mdash; [https://web.archive.org/web/20150826024947/http://www.dharmapoint.com/products/DRTCKB91 Original product page for the DRTCKB91UBK], archived 2015-08-26.</ref>.
