Title: Leopold quick unboxing Video
Post by: skaz on Fri, 08 April 2011, 16:52:32
Hello all,

I know a lot of people were anxious to see some videos of the new Leopold keyboards.  So I uploaded a quick unboxing of my cherry brown Leopold I just got in today.

Thanks, yeah I had some Enter Shikari I mixed with the video but I didn't want to mess with the copyright issue so I just used google's audioswap.  Radiohead was the only decent thing I could find at the time. =/

Engine I am getting the impression from your thread you arent that impressed with the leopold.  Personally I do not like the super rounded edges at all and all the reviewers talking about squeaky keys

The rounded edges are why I went with a Filco.

filcos edges are somewhat rounded but nowhere near what the leopolds are

It's how it's rounded on the top that bothers me, like the entire corner. It makes it look like some kind of 80s synthesizer made out of cheap plastic. And Filcos already had good reviews, I didn't wanna risk trying a new brand out just because they're cheaper. Maybe I'll try a Leo if I have some change next time, but I'm quite content with my Filco.

Im content with my 3 filcos, I will probly pickup a poker so I can get the alluminum case but I doubt I will be picking up a leopold.

I just got mine, first thing I did was test the large keys and I guess I lucked out cause I don't feel any squeakiness. The fact that so many have means that you're kind of relying on luck though.

And although I would have liked sharper corners the rounded corners don't bother me nearly as much as it seems to have bothered some others.

LOL this music it's like a headache. All that men shouting with deep voices...for sure the Radiohead song was better than this :loco:

Looks okey that kind of keyboard with the detachable cable.

I would've rather you left out the music altogether. The music is just unbearably annoying, and I'd have liked to hear the typing at the end.
