I came across this Cherry keyboard made by a Japanese company called Archisite. I've never heard of these, and a search turned up nothing.
http://www.archisite.co.jp/archiss_as-kb87.htm
-Black, Brown, Blue Cherry switches
-Laser etched keys
-"Step sculpture" - low keyboard height with a bit of ergonomic curve
What do you think?

55 days til Christmas and his inventory is looking as stale as MW's posts.
And no ClickClack's Custom Keycaps yet! Is this all GHers are going to get this year?

Japanese clone of the Ducky. Probably as difficult to get too. $100 ain't bad though for a NKRO Tenkeyless.
Rather of the FC200R (http://www.leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1279677553).

Ducky 10 keyless clones gasp :d
One is a Japanese company, and the other is Korean.

utube for the Leopold
Looks to me like Costar manufactured them.
1. uses cherry stabilizers
2. led lighting looks exactly like the dk-9008
3. mini usb input
PS: i second that the Korean clone looks much better than the japanese and the Ducky 10 keyless.
Anyone read Korean ? Are the keys pbt or abs :/ ? Looks laser etched to me. Whats interesting is, the wasd keys have arrows, which to me looks much better and preferable to have for gamers :D

As far as I know it's manufactured neither by Costar nor by Strongman.

I'm using a FC200R right now and this Japanese I-T Touch AS-KB87 seems to be the exact same keyboard. Except maybe for the font which is italicized.

Keycaps are indeed laser etched. I don't know if they are made of PBT or ABS.

Interesting. Would be good to know out of curiosity if anybody else knows :/

Yeah the font looks nice. At first i thought it was same as Ducky now i'm not sure :/

As long as its laser etched should be good enough :]
To tell if it's abs or pbt, put a keycap into a pot of boiling water and see if it melts. if it melts its abs. if it doesn't it's pbt. However this is a one way trip for the keycap :X so probably not a good idea.
Does the FC200R have some sort of function key to disable windows from being active like the Ducky ?
Also how much did you pay for yours ? Do they carry a 104 keyboard by any chance ?
-
hmm filco should have gone the detachable cable route. however these kbd's have a smaller footprint also... i like

125,000 won plus shipping while I was in Korea. ¥7,980 is cheaper and it's probably easier to convince a Japanese shop to accept international payments.
Yes, they also have a 104-key version (http://leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1243839425).

Wow not bad :]

It was announced here (http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/1920233#26) that it is indeed the very same keyboard as the FCR200 by Leopold and was designed in cooperation. Even the extra keycap is identical. Signature Plastics must be making good business of these guys.

ARCHISITE, Leopold and Co, collaborated to design the keyboard.
Who is the co (others) ? Could it be Ducky channel ? And who manufactured them ?
-
Datacomp is another large OEM/ODM. IIRC, they made the wireless Filco.

Whats so good about wireless :/ ? Your only trading one annoyance for another.
Wires or time waiting to recharge >-<;

He didn't say wireless is good tho did he? :madgrin:

Completely missed the point like a bad fencer.

I know he didn't. I was only asking since he brought it up, is that a crime ?
