Title: European in despair looking for Leopold/Rosewiil for his first Mech keyboard
Post by: wolfik on Tue, 17 January 2012, 14:55:25
Hello Geekhack ;)
It is my first post here, unfortunately written still with rubber-dome keyboard. I intended to buy my first mechanical keyboard for 6 months now, but I can't find any online store which ship to Poland (where I live). EliteKeyboards offers Leopold "otaku" full-sized one with MX browns for $99. I was going to buy it at once but when I calculated the shipping fee I was like "woot?!". It is $50 for shipping one keyboard to Poland and it's a half the price of the board :( I mailed elitekeyboard's a few days ago and they haven't reply yet.
I searched for any other store and finally I found leopold.co.kr and english.gmarket.co.kr. Even with google translate I failed to find any shipping info.
I am asking you politely to show me where I can buy Leopold (browns).
I can spend around $120 for keyboard+shipping.

P.S. What are the differences between Leopold FC700, FC500 and FC300 ?


Thanks in advance :)

Cześć,
Well you probably better off picking a different keyboard to be honest. Leopolds are a good keyboard and I have one myself. However, high shipping cost from USA or not having a Korean address for Korean store makes it difficult or expensive. I advise you to take a look at some other option, like Ducky or CM Storm as easy and less expensive to buy either from PCHOME and still good keyboard. Otherwise if you are really set on Leopold / Rosewill, you should try placing a wanted in the classifieds here. Someone might have a used one willing to sell for cheaper to keep under your budget.

A few months ago I was told to check TankGuys and there I found Ducky 1008. It costs $80 and shipping is $35 which, all in all is fine. I didn't pay much attention to it because I heard many complains about quality of this keyboard. Can anyone confirm the quality of the board?
