[ORDERS CLOSED] Leopold White Otaku Tenkeyless w/ Brown

[soulfree914]

[UPDATE] ORDERS ARE CLOSED.

Quantity was limited to 4! I was lucky that there were only.. exactly 4 buyers. haha..
Now they are completely out of stock. Seriously, this is some coincidence.. If you don't believe me, go to this link and try ordering one:  
http://www.leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1302781729

And more good news for my beloved 4 buyers: LOL
I got discounts!!! It's not much but considering only 4 keyboards and that those were their last stock.. it was a good deal... at least a good gesture, I guess (I told them I will do more group buys later lol).  
I think now I can refund at least $10 back to the folks that had already paid.. if the express shipping cost meets my expectations.  
 
Anyway, this piece will be a rare one for a while since Leopold has no plan to restock their white keyboards for quite a while.
Makes me want to keep one.. haha..

The keyboards will arrive no later than on Friday, so I will start shipping them out probably next Monday (I have to move on Saturday).  
If you need more time to pay, just let me know so that I can ship them on different dates. It'll be heavy to carry all 4 to the post office at once anyway. :-)
Thanks guys! Maybe I'll do another group buy soon. [/B]

Anybody interested in Leopold FC200R WHITE, "Otaku"(blank keycaps) tenkeyless keyboard?
The quantity is limited and Cherry BROWN is the only switch that is available at this moment.

Price & Shipping:

Price including shipping to the U.S. via EMS (2~4 days) is "at most" $160 ($120 for keyboard, $35~40 for EMS shipping)

I will try to target a lower price, probably around $150~155 shipped. (depends on discounts, actual shipping cost based on package weight, etc.)

Payment Information:

$160 advanced payment to

soulfree914@hotmail.com (as gift option or else buyer pays for seller fees) [/LIST]

Any overpayed amount will be reimbursed back to your paypal account.

In the payment details, please include your geekhack ID & order content/quantity

Here is a keycap comparison with Filco white:
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 26145[/ATTACH]
The leopold keycap can be viewed as more to the light-grey side than filco's white keycaps.
And there is a very slight difference in profile as you can see in the picture.

I can also get blank RGB sets from Leopold for $10/set if you are interested. Special ESC keycaps are avaiable at $2.5/keycap, and Keycap pullers for $4/each. But you need to let me know beforehand so that I can order them with the keyboards.

That is sexy as hell... too bad it doesn't come in the Red switches because otherwise I would be all over that rare piece of ass.

[reaper]

I'm interested but man, same price as the Filcos?  I thought Leopold is supposed to be less expensive. lol

[Waterdr1nker]

Man, that looks sexy as ****. It's too bad the Leo's spacebar effs everything up. Thinking of this over a white Filco.

[sherryton]

That is pretty nice no joke, but the Filco's quality is just supreme.

[soulfree914]

Filco must be a group rate. I'm doing this based on an individual rate.
$125 for keyboard, $35~40 for EMS. I can send it via a cheaper shipping method if you want
it cheaper.(will take a bit longer)
Also, if the actual EMS ends up being cheaper, then I will reimburse that amount.
Not doing this for profit, just need some paypal balance to buy other stuff.

I do agree that filco is better quality. But here, filco maj2 costs $165(excluding shipping).

[demik]

interested in one

I see.  Thanks for explaining and I'm in for at least 1 keyboard and also one of each of those "Esc" keycaps and modifiers.  Thanks!

[feng]

Looks awesome. I'm in for one.

[soulfree914]

Ok, guys.. the quantity seems to be very limited (blue & black switches are already sold out and the remaining browns are left in small quantity)
For now, I ordered five.

Here is the current order list:

1. demik
2. reaper
3. feng
4.
5.

[sherryton]

You're not ordering anymore than 5?

[demik]

pm me when we are ready to pay

[soulfree914]

You're not ordering anymore than 5?

I will order more if there are more requests and if there is more in stock.
The shipping cost within Korea is free anyway if I order in 5 sets.
But I don't want this to be a long group buy since I will be away for a month starting in 20 days.

[chenga91]

I actually prefer the light grey color of the Leopold to the creamy while Filco's. The light grey's seem whiter to me. It's all preference and personal perception though

[demik]

Yeah filcos "white" is more of a light cream.

[RColinTaylor]

I would imagine that if this turned into an order rather than just a run to the store the prices would go down and more and more people would want it; white is a rare color.

[soulfree914]

I would imagine that if this turned into an order rather than just a run to the store the prices would go down and more and more people would want it; white is a rare color.

I am trying to contact Leopold and get any group-buy discount information(if there are any..) but due to holiday season in Korea, they are on vacation until next Wednesday. I will keep you guys posted. The quantity of white Leopold keyboards seem to be very limited at this moment and there is a Q&A on their webpage that says they do not have a plan to restock soon.
So, chances are,they might not even have enough to do a group-buy discount. I will check back next Thursday when the holiday ends and threaten them, torture them, and abuse them to give me at least some discount. lol

In the meantime, just let me know if you are interested in getting one. I will try my best to maybe target $150~155 shipped. (2-4day express)

[sherryton]

Dang, I'm interested in a RGB, yellow esc, and maybe the leopold key puller.  Let me know.

[reaper]

Yeah, I'm interested in a set of each of those keycaps and modifiers also.  No key puller though.  Already have one. =P

[sherryton]

I'm only interested because of this: http://keyboardporn.com/keycaps/leopold-keycaps/

http://keyboardporn.com/keycaps/kbdholic-rgb-keycaps/

Sixty made the Yellow ESC key cap sound very rare lol.  If you can get that Leopold key cap too, then msg me.

[reaper]

Soulfree, you should tell them to throw in a Leopold sticker with each order. =D



I asked Bambi and she said she doesn't have any. =(

[sherryton]

The RGB set looks real simple and nice.  I can't believe they are not too costly, but I guess it is because it isn't a group buy haha...

[chenga91]

A couple of questions:

1. Can I just order keycaps from you?
2. Is it possible for you to get the RGB set with legends as well? It's listed on their site.
3. Is it also possible for you to get the otaku set?

Thanks. I would be really interested in getting 2xred esc, 2x yellow, 1x blank RGB, 1x RBG with legend, 1x Otaku set.

Haha.. I like that expression.. "sound very rare". It makes him sound like an ultimate religious leader or something..lol  
They are only selling "Leopold" keycap for ALPS keyboards.

[sherryton]

So other key caps are available for Cherry MX right?  Just the one with the Leopold wording is made for ALPS?  Can we purchase the these key caps from you without the keyboard?

[soulfree914]

Soulfree, you should tell them to throw in a Leopold sticker with each order. =D

I asked Bambi and she said she doesn't have any. =(

I'll ask.
Who's Bambi? The japanese agent?
Then maybe I should name myself Bamboo to become the official Korean agent.
They rhyme well together, rrrrright? lol (no offense, Bambi, just joking)

[reaper]

Yeah, she's the Japanese agent for Leopold (Japan), I suppose..  I got my RF 87UB from her.


and lol @ Bamboo. =D

[soulfree914]

Yes. others are available in Cherry MX.
Not sure if I want to ship the keycaps only.
btw, here is the list of keycaps that kbdholic is selling in kbdmania:

http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/market

I bought that nice winkeyless RGB set(alt and ctrl are 1.5units) from him too.

[soulfree914]

Ok. Will include those with your order.

I don't want this thread to become a keycap order thread, so no for 1. Maybe I'll do a seperate keycap thread later if you guys want. I only included the blank RGB set since the keyboard is blank, but sure it can be ordered. Same w the black otaku keycap set.

A couple of questions:

1. Can I just order keycaps from you?
2. Is it possible for you to get the RGB set with legends as well? It's listed on their site.
3. Is it also possible for you to get the otaku set?

Thanks. I would be really interested in getting 2xred esc, 2x yellow, 1x blank RGB, 1x RBG with legend, 1x Otaku set.

When can we expect to pay for the keyboards?

[soulfree914]

When can we expect to pay for the keyboards?

You can pay now or next week. I just need the payment before next weekend. I will update the payment information.

[jpm804]

PM'd SoulFree

[demik]

Soul, can you add the three esc keys to my order please?

[soulfree914]

Soul, can you add the three esc keys to my order please?

Aye Aye Sir! (or Madam)

[demik]

Sir! And thank you!


Price didn't change?

[soulfree914]

Sir! And thank you!


Price didn't change?

It's down to $160 max based on current exchange rate. Leopold is on vacation, so when the holiday ends next Wednesday, I will check back with them.
It is likely that there will not be much discount since there are only 4 orders now. But I'm guessing if I pay cash to them instead of credit card, then maybe I'll get a small discount. And I'm expecting the shipping to be about $5 less. So, overall my goal is $150 as stated on the first page. I will PM you when you need to pay. Thanks! :-)

[demik]

Awesome, thanks for the group buy. Been looking for a white tkl for awhile now.

[sherryton]

soulfree, can you respond to reaper?  

[soulfree914]

soulfree, can you respond to reaper?  

Oh, forgot about that.
Ok, I'll do that. So, the add-ons will be 2 RGB sets, 2 Red kbd, 2 Red ESC, 2 Yellow ESC, and 1 keycap puller?
I will update your order reaper.

[jpm804]

Yes, that's correct and they're for sherryton.  =)

[feng]

I'd add some keycaps to my order since you added some new ones to your post.
RGB x1, Red kbd x7, Red ESC x7, Yellow ESC x7, Puller x1

[soulfree914]

[reaper]

[Zamorph]

Will those keycaps fit on my filco?
I assume yes, I am mainly wondering about the RBG combo

[reaper]

Will those keycaps fit on my filco?

If you're referring to the Esc keys and modifiers then yes.

[demik]

PMd you Soul

[soulfree914]

PMd you Soul

Yes, responded.

[Galaxius]

Please let me know if you decide to do a keycap thread.

A white leo with red switches would look nice next to my black leo with browns... maybe next time :biggrin:

I don't want this thread to become a keycap order thread, so no for 1. Maybe I'll do a seperate keycap thread later if you guys want. I only included the blank RGB set since the keyboard is blank, but sure it can be ordered. Same w the black otaku keycap set.
