===Realforce R2=== The Realforce R2 is a re-design of the base Realforce model, borrowing elements from the Realforce RGB released roughly a year earlier. It's not known if Topre plans to cease production of the traditional Realforce models at this stage, however, as of January 2018, Topre were still supplying traditional Realforce keyboards to South Korean distributor 'Leopold'<ref name="realforce_14" />. As of November 2018 Fujitsu Computer Products of America has announced availability of ANSI Full size and Tenkeyless models of the Realforce R2 models.<ref name="realforce_16" /> [https://hhkeyboard.us/realforce/ This includes the Realforce R2 PFU Limited Edition and Realforce R2 models] with variable weight, 45g, and 55g models being sold via Amazon or Fujitsu Computer Products of America directly. The features borrowed from the Realforce RGB include: *A completely new case design *On APC models: [[Actuation]] Point Change (APC) technology, allowing the user to select from 3 different actuation points (1.5, 2.2, or 3.0mm) *Supporting software for customising APC (on APC-designated models) and the Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock LED indicators Unlike the Realforce RGB, the R2 does not use Cherry MX compatible stems or keycaps; instead, the traditional Topre slider design and keycaps are used. This allows the R2 models to continue using PBT keycaps instead of the double-shot ABS keycaps that were chosen for the Realforce RGB. The R2 and its components are made and assembled in Japan<ref name="realforce_15" />. The APC models come with moulded key spacer inserts for main [[Keyboard_areas|alphanumeric cluster of keys]] that reduce the travel of the switches to 2mm and 3mm. For this reason, they also come with a keycap puller. Topre has also replaced their folded steel "tweezer" keycap puller with a more common wire loop design. The key spacer inserts are also sold separately, and include moulded sets for the alphanumeric cluster and WASD keys, and 10 individual spacers that can be used on any single-unit keycaps. APC models also have 4 additional keys in the top-right corner, similar to the Realforce RGB. These keys have the same function as they do on the Realforce RGB: 'Mute', 'Volume Up', 'Volume Down', and 'APC'. The 'APC' key switches between the three adjustable actuation points (1.5, 2.2, or 3.0mm).
