Title: Keycool 84
Post by: lost eden on Wed, 27 February 2013, 08:59:12

Looking for any opinions on the Keycool 84 with MX clear.

Can anybody confirm that this is actually MX clear (eg not the 'milky white' that I've seen from a few other manufacturers?) --> http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.37.tCOggw&id=13514954417

And can anybody shed light on the best way to purchase it (I'm in the UK, don't speak/read Han...). Is there a preferred TaoBao proxy, or an ebay seller?

Well, that one is not a Keycool 84, but rather a full-sized board. (oh, the 84s are further down the page)

I think most white-looking switches used in Chinese boards are MX Clears.

Yup it took me a while to realise what was going on. As far as I can understand, that listing is for MX Clear boards where you can choose which size you want, but I can't be certain...
