okay, I finally bit on these!

time to finally try clears!

plus I need another keyboard for my cream cheese and green keycaps when they come.

hope the spacebar fits the TKL Leopold.

do we know how "Limited edition" these actually are? I'm hesitant to try clears, but if i can offload them for essentially the same price, it would make the deal easier.

I would shoot EK an email. They are pretty hard to come by at this price (new), and this is the first time they've had them in a couple of months. To me they feel like browns with a heavier spring.

i recently had the tester keypad, and much prefered blacks to clears, but EK doesn't have white plastic TLK blacks in stock, and the white plastic discounted browns are sold out. so I might bite on this. Really I might.

I recently bought a black TKL Filco with blacks that has only been used for a few minutes. I like the cherry blacks but I really need that tactile bump like the blues have. If you're interested let me know.

For about $20 (shipping cost added) more you can get a White Filco TKL with Blacks from keyboardco fulfilled by Amazon.  If you tend to bottom out, clears are much better than browns.

Depends on the cost, I was looking more at a leopold as I haven't seen any real reason that filcos command the extra cash they demand. Shoot me a PM and i'll let you know if it's in my price range!

I also have a WTB in the classifieds if you don't mind posting pics there.
