Pre-ordered for $15; 30G uniform. I know a lot of people don't like this guy because it is a full size board but I need a ten-key for work. I will probably swap the keycaps with the ones on my 87u and get the cool grey on black look.

Only thing is they don't post the full price which is weird I think on a pre-sale of an item.

Any guesses on what the price will be?

That's hawt.  While I'm not the biggest Topre fan in the world, an all-30g 'board is intriguing.

I talked to the seller previously, about this.
But there is another shop in taobao that is listing the full price

My mistake, here is the correct price
30g uniform 2199 RMB
45g uniform 2099 RMB
Variable 2099 RMB

sigh, +350 USD.

For a moment I thought that I could get an all-30g for less than 100 USD.

What are the plastic clips for?  They look like they shorten the keystroke.

30g? Really? This is what I see when people assume lighter key switch = better.

Coming from buckling springs or blacks yes it would be a huge difference. I like the light feel of reds and I like topre switches so why not try 30g...

Meh

I can't see the appeal of switches that light. But maybe I just don't type for long enough sessions at a time.

Pro Key? Is that just a poor translation of Scroll Lock?

I don't often use a full-sized board, but one of those would suit me fine when I do.
