Title: Leopold TKL Otaku MX Black?
Post by: Delsorbo on Mon, 17 September 2012, 21:51:38

Does anyone know if this exists and why elitekeyboards doesn't stock it? Tried emailing them but never got a reply.

The rarest ones i've seen were the white leopold MX Clears, non-otaku.  the mx black gets no love in general. ;D

It's agreed upon that the black is generally too heavy for extended typing.


But if you REAAALLY must have blank keycaps, why not just buy an abs set off WASD, or geek feng on ebay.

beware, the geek feng white set isn't the normal white, by normal, i mean stacks of printer paper, the pbt that feng sells has a blue shifted // slight violet.

I have a Leo with Clears. I bought mine for $80 from a guy who couldn't keep stuff for more than a week. I recently Ergo-Cleared them too. :)
