My god, its happening! White FC660C!!!

[Noko]

It's getting harder to wait for the Novatouch as my first Topre :O

[Lastpilot]

Anyone know what weight it is?  45g?  55g?

Can't see it anywhere on the page, and translate doesn't help much.

I think it's pretty safe to assume it's 45g, like all other FC660Cs. However, as I've posted about many times before, the newer FC660Cs are very close to RF 55g, despite being designated as 45g.

I can agree with this statement ^

Hnnnnnng

Making this so difficult, I was shooting for a RF 87u 55g in white, but now with this it's making it impossible to choose between them. The form factor of the Leopold is delicious.

I may end up going with RF 55g because it sits flatter on the desk. I remember appreciating how low-profile it was compared to other boards, including the 660...

But yes it is a hard decision indeed!

[iLLucionist]

That is damn sexy. Are they also available with blank caps? Please say yes... pretty pleeaaassseee!

[daerid]

LEOPOLD Y U DO DIS TO ME

[lightsout714]

I love the color scheme, but the legends are actually a little bit too small for my taste. It would look even better if the arrow keys were light grey as well.

If they sell these caps separately, I might get them for my 660C

I agree about the arrows kind of looks like big blob of dark grey over on that side of the board. Still love the board though.

[remdell]

Man, that white case looks so good.

[hashbaz]

Typing on the black version at this very moment, and yet I still want to drop $200+ on the white one. 

The new key colorway on a black case would look even better.

[paulen]

the color wasn't what I m looking for, maybe just the lighting? Idk, but look too creamy.

[rowdy]

Ahhhh... crap. I'm going to get forced into buying one of these by my other half.

If only my other half was forcing me to buy one, instead of hinting that I should be saving money )

I just hope that the availability will not become an issue, and we will not have to hunt for these like people had to when the black version came out. That sucked.

There are still 4 on eBay ...

There are very few whiter than white keyboards - most "white" ones are off-white, or slightly beige.

Yep, very true. Leopold especially has a history of releasing slightly beige white keyboards.

If you are looking for true white, the ones I know are keycool and limited editions of duckies and quickfire TK. And then you can always try acrylic custom cases if that's your thing.

[asassdsd]

I'm using the black with dyesub. The white one looks good but I think I'll like mine more!

[Frenir]

I think I need me one of these

Yeah I hate it when they find out, then out comes the list of priorities that I should address first........fvcking wives and their sense of reality  .

Lucky only spent for 2 key-sets thus far but will think about getting the 'tiny' keyboard later on, BECAUSE realforce still rules in the thorpie world.

[Fragil1ty]

The grey is too dark and looks ugly imo.

[rowdy]

The grey is too dark and looks ugly imo.

Looks like they just exactly copied the gray from the all-gray FC660C.  Easy way out

[Grim Fandango]

I needed another Topre keyboard since my brother confiscated the one I have at home. In the end I ended up getting the Realforce 87U all-45g. I was not willing to spend the $280 x 1.19 (Yes, our Dutch customs charges VAT over the shipping charge as well) + $customs fee by importing this keyboard (350 dollars). Then also having it arrive by the end of next month somwhere (our customs can easily add a week or more).

With my keyboards being at 2 working places... I am now typing on a Logitech wireless keyboard with Chiclet keys 

[Justintoxicated]

Wow I like those two tone keycaps, but not enough to buy another keyboard.  I wish they would sell the keycaps...

One thing I don't like is that instead of saying C=Q/V=E(A/t) it says Leopold...

[Xowie]

Beautiful! Anyone know if EK is planning on selling this?

[intelli78]

The pics on Leopold's site show it with the capacitance equation... not "Leopold"
I think you're OK on that one...

I'm sure Brian will let you know if you email him. I asked about the first dyesub version when it was announced, and he replied yes pretty quickly.

[snipars]

that's so cool, there are so many great topre keyboards now

[cheesedgrate]

Holy crap that's hot. I was thinking of getting another HHKB to use at home (I keep my current one mainly at work) but this could very well be my new home keyboard. Looks stunning.

[bazh]

that reminds me of the 105UK-HiPro, beautiful vintage looks, maybe this will be my 2nd Topre mini

ebay it is... 

[CommonCurt]

Hopefully they will change their mind if enough people show interest.

[juguerre]

Ohhh! That vintage scheme is cool ... I made  my decision with RF 55g a few months ago but this looks really nice and I don't know why but the asymmetric layout looks better for me with this color scheme.

[docwlad]

Oh man, that is awesome  . I've been using the black one with grey dye subs for about a month now as my daily driver, and love the hell out of it. Wish I could get just those keys... it'd be downright sexy

[Altis]

Has anyone picked one up yet?

Curious to see more photos.

Also, seems to be really hard to get a normal FC660C now. EK all out of stock. I'm hoping to get a black/blank board, unless I go for RF87U 45g... again, not easy to get.

I think widebasket has a few up on eBay. A little spendy after shipping from Korea, but with EK not planning to stock them, it's your best bet.

Edit: Whoops, you said normal FC660C. Widebasket still might have some of those, I know he has the white version and the dyesubbed version.

Says $18 international shipping... am I missing something? Here in Canada, we spend 2-4x that for the same size item from the US.

I am seriously considering one. The lack of availability is making this purchase even more complicated... but I'm torn between FC660C, 87U 45g, or 87U 55g.

[Xowie]

In the spirit of geekhack, if you can swing it you might want to consider getting two of the three. A lightly used 55g 87u has a very strong resell value in the classified section, and I have no doubts that a white FC660C will as well. Of course reselling is a bit of a hassle, so it might only be worth it to go down this road if you are truly torn.

I think Asian countries have some sort of subsidized shipping I think.
US to Canada is indeed really expensive.

[DTRPS]

Still too expensive for me 

[intelli78]

So... anybody get one? Pics?
