Sho SRX - EC/Topre Case for Realforce

Designer Introduction:

Unfortunately due to the retirement of Sho from keyboard design this is no longer available. Check our other listings for more Sho keyboards. 

Handcrafted by Sho, the SRX is an elegance-focused redesign of the Realforce R1/R2 TKL case. Built in premium materials—6063 aluminium, 316L stainless steel, brass, or polycarbonate—with refined curves and a 5° typing angle, this drop-in case elevates aesthetics, feel and sound with its refined form factor and heavy forehead bezel.

Product Description

Outfit your Realforce R1 or R2 TKL with the SRX to experience:

• Elegantly rounded bezels and minimalist front edge (20 mm lip height)
• Solid typing angle & front lip, designed for legacy layouts (84–91 key)
• Premium heft, delivering better resonance
• Polished CNC tolerances eliminate echo—no mods or dampeners required

Shipping & Purchase Info

• Pricing & Availability: Final home for Sho keyboards given their retirement from the industry. This is the last new stock globally. This product is in stock and ready to dispatch. The other Sho keyboards are not but this is from an earlier run.
• No scalpers or price gouging: I've bought up the remaining Sho stock to support Sho in retiring after an amazing career and prevent scalpers constraining supply. 
• Order Conditions: You must supply the internals. We can't provide refunds for people who don't understand the complexity of EC keyboard builds. I am trying to make full service internals happen as fast as I can but it may not be available by the time you see this. Much love!
