Title: FS: Leopold TKL clears, black
Post by: scrubadub on Thu, 03 November 2011, 13:06:52
Turns out the clears are not quite what I'm looking for, and now having tried out a Realforce I think that's what I want.

I got this from EK and used it for a few hours. I'll include the usual Red escape key as well as a lavender WASD set that I bought along with the board.
Link to EK (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyless&pid=fc200reab)

$85 + shipping. I'm open to trades but would prefer to sell.

Oh, no feedback here but my ebay username is "marmalade_pipsqueak".

Edit #2: While I'd love to trade for a black RF board (+cash obviously), I'd also consider trading for Cherry browns, blues, or reds. I'm only interested in tenkeyless or smaller space saving layouts (although no Choc Minis since they aren't compatible with my Mac).

Edit #3: Picture added.

Sorry, my bad. Too many other things floating around my head when I wrote the post. To clarify, this is a black keyboard with black keycaps and white lettering that has the Cherry clear "tactile force" switches.

I suppose it could be a mythical clear plastic Leopold with black linear switches. I wonder what that would go for...

Anyway, no one is selling the white ones. I think you have to wait for the next batch before the reselling starts.

I seem to be in the minority that prefers black keyboards!

Added some trade preferences in the OP.

Any way to figure out what the shipping would be beforehand?

Yeah, estimate it with Boston MA as the origin, your location as the destination and... 3.5lbs as the weight.

@alaricljs that works. @Mr. Perfect, if you are serious about buying, I can package the keyboard up and take it to USPS and get an exact amount. But I'd rather not go through the effort unless I know it's got a high likelihood of selling.

Thanks for the interest!

I just packaged up the same board and it was around 3.5 lbs. So just use the USPS calculator to get a price estimate. Just exchange zip codes in PM and that should get you the price.

No need to package it and go to the post office just to get an estimate.

And please note that USPS charges more to ship something from the post office than if you print the shipping online.

Online shows both the post office and online price comparisons.

Thanks all for the shipping numbers. And yup, added a picture, although I think it looks like every other Leopold out there Don't forget I'm throwing in the lavender WASD keys.

I usually ship using the online calculator because that way it's cheaper for the buyer and I get delivery confirmation included.

would you be interested in a trade at all for a Leopold TKL with Cherry brown switches?  since I have custom key caps, we could just keep our own keys...
