REALFORCE Launches RT1 Ten Numeric Keypad with Enhanced Features and Durability
REALFORCE has officially introduced the RT1 Ten numeric keypad in Japan, an updated model designed as the successor to the widely recognized 23U capacitive keypad released in 2009. Available in both black and white color options, the RT1 Ten combines classic design elements with modern enhancements.
Improved Durability and Classic Design
Maintaining the familiar size and weight of its predecessor, the RT1 Ten offers significant improvements in durability. The keystroke lifespan of its capacitive switches has been doubled, increasing from over 50 million actuations in the previous model to over 100 million actuations. This durability enhancement ensures the keypad can withstand extensive use over time.

- Customizable Shortcuts and Macros: Users can assign specific functions or macros to keys for improved workflow efficiency.
- Keyboard Mapping: Offers support for up to four separate configurations, enabling seamless transitions between different setups.
- Onboard Configuration: Eliminates the need for software by allowing custom settings to be stored directly on the keypad.
Superior Build and User Experience
The RT1 Ten is equipped with silent capacitive switches that feature a 45g actuation force and a 4.0mm key travel distance, providing a tactile yet quiet typing experience. The keypad also utilizes durable PBT keycaps with thermal sublimation printing for added resistance to wear and tear. Connectivity is facilitated through an integrated 0.8mm USB-A cable, ensuring reliability and ease of use.
Pricing and Availability
The RT1 Ten numeric keypad is priced at 13,200 yen, including tax, and is currently available in Japan. The approximate equivalent is 641 yuan, reflecting its positioning as a premium accessory for professionals and enthusiasts seeking precision and durability.
REALFORCE’s RT1 Ten combines traditional design principles with contemporary functionality, offering a comprehensive upgrade to its line of numeric keypads. With its robust features and extended lifespan, the RT1 Ten is set to meet the demands of users in diverse professional and personal settings.
