Can someone enlighten a noob (me) as to what I'm supposed to be seeing here? Are the guts of the FC700Rs inferior to those of the FC200Rs?

Hamblet, have you heard of "Tall Poppy Syndrome"?

Hope you do realize it also references to people with high egos who act in an arrogant or aloof manner who have to be brought down, or as they say 'cut down'.

I think its just 'grey' because its between black and white.

Regardless of what you want to call it (grey, dark-grey, off-black, charcoal, etc. etc.) I think it looks great.

According to Lie-fold copy,

Casing has Gray/White colors, no black ones.
Keytops are Gunmetal Gray/White and Black.

For your information. Gray casing is painted.
I believe that this kind of finishing is not so good for keyboards.
For paintings, the environments of boards are too rigorous to intact.

You know lots of things  ^^.

I LOVE the blue symbols. I keeps the keyboard from becoming too dull. And leopold didn't over do it like how cooler master did with their quick fire.

Gahh I don't want to wait, does anyone know exactly when they will be releasing this keyboard?

Troll Poll?

I do not know exactly what the troll means. I just feel it no good naming.
If you are happy with that, enjoy it.
I do not care about it.

Just a moment, is it related with hatred.. ?
i got something to say about group hatred.

It is about a board community in far far east, unfortunatley most of its members are dyslexia.

They expelled me more than 10 times.
My IP address are blocked forever exactly same times.
They cursed my nickname everytime.

I have to make another nickname next time. And logged-in and fight again and will be banned again.

Are they correct ?
Psst, are you insane ?

Reason is very simple. They pleaded that I break their peace of community.
What the fu** is their peace ? Silence like a graveyard ?
Are you going to shut your mouth in front of lying ?
KBDMania, they are full of bull****s.


Story goes like this. It is a routine work.

A newbie comes. When he/she comes, they are not come with nothing. The newbie comes with false informations. I break it. Hesitancy is a vice. From time to time, some newbie comes with passionate attitude. He/She try to learn something about board. The next moment, OhMyGod, wrong informations flow. From the stupid_i_know_boards_3_month_old members or from the idiot_million_years_rotten_no_brain_worshippers. I break it. Hesitancy is a vice. I smash them into atoms, all of them, without mercy.

From now on, you can hear dog fighting.
Actually, I just can not fight with 100 smell blood dogs.
I knocked out.

Here comes, KBDMania manager "Kant", he appears with full smile on his face.
He bans me. Blocked IP address.
Game set. Everybody happy. Easy.


Is this you call Troll Poll?

It is not the matter of pros/cons.
It is regarding facts.

Some of their elements from mainland China and others from Taiwan.
Sometimes the elements are materials or ideas. So, nobody can tell you this or that clearly.

As far as I know 700R is made in mainland China (I do not have any hard evidence yet. Actually, i do not want to collect and prove it. Wasting time).

In my opinion 700R is a pure Garbage.

I checked KCC (Localized version of American FCC ID).

Says.

FC200RT from Taiwan (The name of manufacturer is Lie-fold Co.,Ltd Taiwan <-- have you heard about it ? It is a paper company. Lie-Lie-Lie fold !!!!)
FC700RT from China (The name of manufacturer is Lie-fold Co.,Ltd China <-- Fine, have you heard about it ? It is a paper company. Lie-Lie-Lie fold !!!!)

They just want to their customer get confused.
They are trying to hide their original manufacturer.
If customer knows their dirty secret, their BULL**** copy goes directly to garbage. That is only why, i guess. Any other idea ??

For your information, Lie-fold is just an local importer/distributor.
They import Topre too.
How about Lie-fold Co.,Ltd Japan ??? Nop.
KCC writes cleary, TOPRE COPORATION/JAPAN.
Yes, the Lie-fold need name value of them.

It is one nice metallic pad. Should be KMAC's next stop.

He is not playing the gentleman because is real one.
He and his pad have no crack into which any kind of lie enter.

(Pic. Thanks KJY of KBDMania).




I do not hate Leopold.
They and their subcontractors/suppliers, wherever that may be-한국 Korea, 中国 China, 臺灣 Taiwan, にほん Japan, Deutsch Bundesrepublik-they are nice people and hard working.
I only hate lying gurus and ignorant asshats just like you !!!!

I like the new case design as it is superior to the Filco and CM storm in many ways.
I also like the look of those PBT keycaps as they found a nice balance between Topre profile and cherry height, but too bad it's not dye subbed.
I think the silicone skin is also useful to prevent the keyboard from gathering dust when not in use.
Regarding the interiors maybe it looks out of date, but it doesn't really matter as long as they improved the controller.
The controller, switches, keycaps, stabilizers and the case construction is the most important factors for me when buying a keyboard.
Having said that I think the Plate mounted G99 stabilizer was a poor choice, as those tend to rattle, and it cannot be fixed without taking the whole keyboard apart and desoldering all the switches to separate it from the mounting plate, also those only feel good with heavier switches like cherry blacks.
Leopold priced the FC700R just right at 127,500 KRW.
I don't really care if Leopold Co.,Ltd China is a paper company as long as they did it to reduce taxes.

I don't quite understand what do you mean by rattling stabilizers.
Are the ones on the FC700R mounted in a different way than the WYSE?

@Rigs,

I don't quite understand what do you mean by rattling stabilizers.
Are the ones on the FC700R mounted in a different way than the WYSE?

Nope. As I said apart from the PCB mounted spacebar stabilizer the WYSE is mounted in the same way. However I assume WYSE took a good care when they assembled the keyboard to avoid any key wiggle.
The Leopold is assembled in China, and I think they don't give a **** about key wiggle.
