Topre Corporation is raising prices on its REALFORCE keyboard lineup. The adjustment affects several popular models and takes effect in mid-June 2026.
R4 and RC1 models see specific price changes
The REALFORCE series includes the R4, RC1, R3S, and RT1 models. These keyboards are known for their electrostatic capacitive switches and are primarily sold in Japan.
Prices will increase by approximately 7 to 9 percent across the affected models. The R4 series will go from 37,180 yen to 39,820 yen, which is about $250. The RC1 series moves from 35,860 yen to 38,280 yen, roughly $240.
R3S series experiences the largest relative increase
The R3S series sees the largest relative increase at up to 8.8 percent. Topre did not provide specific new prices for every variant, but the company confirmed the general range applies to all four model families.
The new pricing goes into effect on June 15, 2026. Customers in Japan will see the higher prices at retailers from that date onward.
Topre announced the revision on June 2, 2026. The company cited no specific reason for the increase in its announcement.
The REALFORCE R4, RC1, R3S, and RT1 keyboards will cost more starting June 15. The increase ranges from 7 to 9 percent depending on the model.
