PLU ML-87 POM



N-KRO via P/S 2 and 6-KRO via USB
Comes in Black, Blue or Brown Switches
POM(Delrin) keycaps
PLU-key for Media functions (similar to Steelseries-key)
Ugly as SIN branding...

Review:
http://article.pchome.net/content-1218318.html

It can be bought from PLU's taobao shop
Link : http://store.taobao.com/shop/view_shop-716fe148b760e8495865237c0c85df9f.htm

For $50 before agent fee/shipping is not too bad...

However it looks like you can simply pluck out the branding, so it isn't that bad. Translation of their sales spiel in progress...

They also have the full keyboards... http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3365295055

DAAAMN.  Ok someone do a group buy of these in cherry blues and I'll be in for 1.

By the way, my favorite part is the windows key with a big slash through it.

87 with "tea axis" probably brown:

87 with "blue axis" looks like cherry blue:

Now that is what I call competitive pricing.
EUR 33 for a tenkeyless with MX switches?
I guess I might buy one.

Hate the logo, and I'm not a big fan of the case.

But at a price like that who am I to complain?

If anyone can find some direct contact information. Please inquire about a group order!

The site says they are backordered (at least the 87 version), and won't have stock till earlier next month. Not sure whether "next month" refers to Nov or Dec. o.O

That pricing is more what I would want from  China.

I keep seeing "Plucky" when I see  that name.  Like I "PLU Key" your "Ducky".



The 104 looks interesting, but it's more money-- near Rosewill costs-- although I am liking the 'Media shift' in lieu of the menu key nobody ever uses.  I wish it would go one step further to 'Macro Shift' (a few stock media keys plus programmable macros on the letters

I occasionally use the menu key, thank you very much :tongue: Pretty much only when my mouse is charging and I'm navigating via keyboard though.

Only 100 pLU87 were put on the market at the 1st wave.
It was so cheap so every1 wanted one, sold out within 2 days...
the next round could be delayed to later this month.

I still don't think I can handle typing on something with a big swooshy Rosewill logo on it... there is no way I'm even touching a keyboard that says Poo on it.

I emailed Obook, got response, shipped to me in california with all taxes and fees, it is $92.75 USD via "EMS Shipping",  $82.70 via "airmail" (paid through paypal).

According to Obook it "will be stocked in mid november"

Pretty good price IMHO, beats the crap outta elitekeyboards prices.  Of course return policy / keyboard quality / NKRO / Chinese manual / No warrenty or support makes up for this difference.

Then again keycap quality may be better :)

Well, it sure looks like these keycaps will wear better than filcos.  My experience with the POM keycaps on the Ricercar SPOS is that they stay really new looking for a long time.

Saving 5% on commission should be like $2.50 off the total bill correct? since total price is $50 usd..

Anyhow I don't think I can justify this cause I already have a filco tenkeyless, and it would proabably take over 1 month to get here.. :(

The QC of the keycaps looks kinda bad to me...
Some keys look sunken it like unicomp black keycaps

But if u can get it @ USD$50 after shipping from a MO, it will be worth the price.

Which one were you looking at?  If it's the 84, it might be time for a group buy.  At the very least, I may PM you to get some info on ordering through obook.

Shrinking ?

Do you mean those round impressions on the keys ?? (e.g. bottom far left )

To be fair, ripster did say "dimples" so I'm guessing that was what he most likely meant - those crater-like impressions on the blank black keys as compared to the POM keycaps (numbered keys)

I thought PBT had a reputation of shrinking causing those "dimples".  Haven't heard of it being an issue with POM.

Does that happen to Cherry keycaps? Or... just Model M's? My customizer has one above the stem.

I emailed Obook, got response, shipped to me in california with all taxes and fees, it is $92.75 USD via "EMS Shipping",  $82.70 via "airmail" (paid through paypal).

According to Obook it "will be stocked in mid november"

Pretty good price IMHO, beats the crap outta elitekeyboards prices.  Of course return policy / keyboard quality / NKRO / Chinese manual / No warrenty or support makes up for this difference.

Then again keycap quality may be better :)


EMS shipping takes about 1 week, Airmail 2-3 weeks.  Quote for 5 keyboards is $393 for Airmail, $414 for EMS.  That makes it about $79 per KB for bulk order of #5.

Hi, I've been lurking for the past few couple months or so. I'm thinking about buying this board with Cherry Browns. I was between this and the Choc Mini for the past two weeks, but the NOPPOO's color scheme is just too ugly for me. It seems like it would be great if I wanted to stand out, whereas the PLU ML-87 might masquerade as a FILCO Tenkeyless. I'll miss not having that awesome Engrish box of the Choc Mini though.

If anyone did some extra research and found out anything that would make this not a good keyboard to buy, lemme know, otherwise I'll probably pull the trigger later this week.

Hmmm, that's disappointing. The ML-87 was already giving up NKRO to the Choc Mini, now the advertised 6KRO is being challenged :( I wonder if 9KRO is still available under PS/2 though. I don't absolutely need NKRO, but it would be nice to have. The only use for this keyboard would be Starcraft 2 and some light internet browsing. So not sure if the extra 100RMB is worth it for the NKRO choc mini. Decisions decisions...

Those KRO problems would make me avoid buying this keyboard and spend the extra few bucks on the Noppoo. The Noppoo seems to be an excellent value for the money.

I was looking at the choc mini but decided to get this board (white edition).

I'll provide a review once it arrives. All the reviews I found didn't tear the board apart!

Saves me from having to crack mine open (I might still do it). I wonder if much has changed with the release of the whites, doubt it.

too bad their 6kro fail under usb
nkro fail too under ps/2
Quote from: Lowyat PLU ML-G2000 user

Tried, the 6KRO works on these combination :

asd jkl, qwe iop,awd jil, awd ko; and more which i dont feel like trying all the possible combination tongue.gif

zxc doesnt works though, maybe kbc define 6KRO by the means of any random 6 keys, so it failed the test possibly due to the one i've mentioned.


Quote from: Lowyat PLU ML-G2000 user
And the 9KRO isnt random too. A mechanical keyboard at this price, you cant expect too much from it tongue.gif


same as the on that reported in kbc.
but he using 87key.
