Title: Where to buy Leopold FC700R (White, US English)?
Post by: npgatech on Sun, 06 January 2013, 23:45:07: Hi all,

After hours on end of weeding through interwebs and reaching double digit Google page, I have thrown the towel to plead for help to wonderful keyboard community. I have been a silent member for a while :-).

So, I could not find any website where I can order Leopold FC700R (white with Cherry MX Black, keys). EK doesn't carry the white version. :-( Any suggestions?

PCCaseGear.au only ships to Australians. Oh man...I feel helpless haha. I am in love with the Leopold design - very minimalistic and has high quality PBT caps. Also, its the milkiest white keyboard out there, unlike some of the off-white versions.

Thanks :-)

Money is not an object, but if someone from Australia is willing to proxy one for me, that would be amazing. I can pay the extra shipping + effort money....and I can order one from PCCaseGear to the provided address.

Post by: MissMurd3r84 on Mon, 07 January 2013, 00:02:01: I think Rowdy is closest to PCCG out of all the Aussies on here, not sure though. I am not sure if they charge more for distance or what. Are you in America?

Post by: npgatech on Mon, 07 January 2013, 00:04:23: Yes, I am in Phoenix Arizona. I think PCG shipping is free in Australia.

Post by: MissMurd3r84 on Mon, 07 January 2013, 00:07:57: Nah, their shipping isn't free. Cost me $18 I think to get my Leopold sent to where I am in Australia.

Post by: WhiteFireDragon on Mon, 07 January 2013, 15:42:04: I've been looking for these newer Leopold revision for a while too with no luck. I'm particularly interested in the caps. EK said they won't carry these because of some issue with these keyboards.

Post by: MissMurd3r84 on Tue, 08 January 2013, 23:42:51: Ah that might be a better idea for them. I just went and checked out postage and it would be up to $55. Am willing to still proxy if needed though.`

It is very addictive. Especially when some of the guys (and girls) post pictures of their Korean keyboards with rare custom keycaps ;)
