Man, I would buy this if it was black.
Anyway, good luck with sale.

Gotta take a pic with the no-win key toggled. :)
BTW, I use my PLU-87 every day (hooked up to my work laptop's docking station). I have nothing but good things to say about this keyboard.

Just realized I had the P and no-win key flipped. Fixed and new shots updated. Thx for the reminder iMav :)

I'm kind of a noob, so sorry if this is a stupid question... What does the "P" key do and why is the windows key lit up?
-
Not sure what the P key is, but the no win key is the lit up blue key on the bottom, to the right of the space bar. This button functionality, when lit up/on, disables the windows key.
This allows people who play full screen games or anything full screen to not accidently hit the windows key and throw them out of full screen.

P Key is for the F row media functions.

Wow dude. I had an Otaku version, and I didn't even the PLU had media keys....

Yep :biggrin:
They come in handy!

I thought the PLU had trouble with OSX? Are you connecting via PS/2?

Nope, plu works fine on osx. I tried both usb and ps2.

Bump with a price drop!
-
Is it nkro?
-
not too familiar with Plu...
how is the build quality of this vs. a filco tenkeyless?
-
They are made in different factories in different locations. You are only good at taking pictures and making jokes =P (+destroying stuffs *googling Bush*)
-
Meh. Similar to Ducky/Noppoo since PLUM is the OEM of those.
Ooops. Classified thread. How RUDE! I'll delete this as soon as someone posts a real review in the review section.
PLUM isn't the OEM of Ducky. That's like saying PLUM made Filco.
-
Hey Ripster, are these aluminum backplates like the Ducky? Similar typing experience?
-
Who makes the Ducky?
My Ducky came with a pamphlet advertising the other ducky models, and the DAS Pro S, so perhaps whoever makes the Das makes Ducky? That may help determine if it is not PLUM.

Costar makes Das. (http://www.costar.com.tw/products01/?p_sid=32)

I actually really like the PLU...a lot. The color is perfect, not beige or off-white, it's true white. The Filco's are more of an off-white.
The build quality could be better, but I'm not complaining. It's designed, almost identical, to the Filco. Only a slight difference in function buttons and a line that goes through horizontally between the F and number rows. The casing is more plasticy feeling versus the Filco's brushed aluminum feel.
The stock keycaps (at least on my Otaku set) don't sit on the switch like the Filcos do. They are not as tight of a seal, which I actually prefer. If you've owned the KBC PBT keycaps, it's something similar to that. Feels a little lighter/loose than your standard Filco browns. Loose may be the wrong word, it doesn't rattle or anything.
Only bad thing I hate about it is, that the spacebar doesn't have the same type of stabilizer that the Filco uses. I don't even think it uses a stabilizer in the spacebar...
Check out how awesome it looks in my sig.

Wow didn't think a $5 difference in price would yield so many replies!
Definitely 2KRO though.
Forgot, nkro is a touchy subject around here. Didn't post information on it as I thought it was already clear it had issues. Anyways for those curious buyers.

Updated first post with KRO Link.

Really? This one has stabalizers on the space bar identical to filco. Other than the clips (filcos being clear and plu being black).

I haven't used a Ducky G2, but yeah, I'd agree the build quality is similar to the Noppoo. That's not a bad thing, really, it gave a pretty overall impression of quality to me. I preferred it over the Choc Mini, but that was mostly because I didn't like the Choc's layout after using it for a day or two. If someone doesn't need NKRO, which is overrated imo, the ML-87 is a great board, and one of the cheaper ways to get browns, short of a used Cherry board.

Sold, thread can be closed!
