This keyboard uses a capacitive non-contact method that detects keystrokes through changes in capacitance. Because the capacitive non-contact method does not have mechanical contacts, electrodes do not need to touch each other. This eliminates chattering due to contact wear, reduces noise, and enhances durability.<ref>https://www.sevenbank.co.jp/branding/purpose/article/20240726_01/</ref>

This function changes the ON position when a key is pressed. The R3 series offers four settings: 0.8mm, 1.5mm, 2.2mm, and 3.0mm. The standard setting is 2.2mm, with stroke and rubber load settings adjusted accordingly.APC: 0.8mm and APC: 1.5mm are targeted at users who prefer to activate keys with a lighter press. With practice, you can activate keys without pressing down on the bottom of the key, reducing fatigue. (One cause of fatigue is the impact of hitting the bottom of the key.)

The most significant change is Dual-APC. The ON/OFF position (actuation point) varies depending on the key stroke. This feature increases the OFF-ON speed while also improving the ON-OFF speed. (When the ON/OFF position was too shallow, the ON-OFF speed was slow.)

A firmware update was released in July 2023, allowing ON/OFF setting based on relative position, similar to Rapid Trigger. This update shortens the ON→OFF travel distance and speeds up the OFF time. This feature is intuitive and can be effective in some games. Other features added include a kill switch and shortcuts.

Keyboard for PC
REALFORCE
Overview
Topre supplied keyboards used for data entry work on an OEM basis. [1]The original Topre products were business keyboards that used a capacitive non-contact system, and were highly reliable and easy to use. REALFORCE was a consumer model that retained these features. REALFORCE was targeted at people who use keyboards frequently, and for these people, the typing feel has a significant impact on their work efficiency.[2]
Features
Switch Type
This keyboard uses a capacitive non-contact method that detects keystrokes through changes in capacitance. Because the capacitive non-contact method does not have mechanical contacts, electrodes do not need to touch each other. [3]This eliminates chattering due to contact wear, reduces noise, and enhances durability.
APC (Actuation Point Changer)
This function changes the ON position when a key is pressed. The R3 series offers four settings: 0.8mm, 1.5mm, 2.2mm, and 3.0mm. The standard setting is 2.2mm, with stroke and rubber load settings adjusted accordingly.APC: 0.8mm and APC: 1.5mm are targeted at users who prefer to activate keys with a lighter press.[4]
With practice, you can activate keys without pressing down on the bottom of the key, reducing fatigue. (One cause of fatigue is the impact of hitting the bottom of the key.) [5]
R3 Series

The ability to change the connected PC via key commands allows users to control multiple PCs with a single keyboard. Since the keyboard does not require batteries when connected via USB.

A key feature is the ability to change the key commands sent to the PC when a key is pressed, allowing users to create their own custom key layouts. the changes are stored in the keyboard. Key loads of 45g, 30g, and variable loads are available.[6]
R3S Series
This model follows the design of the R2 series and is an entry-level model with a reasonable price. It is a standard keyboard compatible with USB connection, but it is available with key loads of 30g and 45g.Furthermore, the control method is the same as the R3 series, so R3-specific software can be used.
GX1 Series
This model is based on the REALFORCE RGB and R3S series and was developed for gaming. Major changes include a revised design, the addition of Dual-APC, macro functions, and the ability to customize LED lighting patterns.
The most significant change is Dual-APC. The ON/OFF position (actuation point) varies depending on the key stroke. This feature increases the OFF-ON speed while also improving the ON-OFF speed. (When the ON/OFF position was too shallow, the ON-OFF speed was slow.) [7]

This feature is intuitive and can be effective in some games. Other features added include a kill switch and shortcuts.[8]
RC1 Series
This model compact and lightweight model is 70% the size of the previous model and features function and arrow keys. Designed for portability and lightweight design, it does not feature the metal plate found in the REALFORCE series.
It uses a rechargeable battery (previous models used dry batteries) and can be charged via USB. Even if the battery fails, it can be used via USB connection, and a battery replacement service is available for a fee.
The number of keys has been reduced to prioritize portability. Software functionality has also been improved to accommodate the expected increase in PC connectivity. It has four key maps, allowing settings to be saved on the keyboard. [9]
