Seems like we have a lot of people interested in getting there hands on this keyboard. This is just to gauge the interest on how many people want these. I still need to talk with some of the korean friends to see if this can help with a big order.
**If this goes into a GB, payment is required immediately!!**
**I will not ship INT as it gets expensive and puts this in the HHKB price range. I do have someone in IT that can proxy to EU but will work that out when the time is right**
Info:
Leopold is getting ready to release a TOPRE version of their FC660C.

Just the topre for now
-
submitted!
-
And I'm in! And luckily have a USA address I can get it sent to then forwarded down here to little ol' NZ ;D
-
Submitted. Hopefully, this happens.
-
any chance you could snag any FC700Rs?
-
Filled out - hopefully a few people from the EU are interested so it makes it worthwhile.

If you can get anything in the Leopold store I'd like a Black/POM Korean Cherry G86-52400 :D
I can but just trying to feel out the 660c
-
I'd kidnap a fat kid for this one. Hopefully INT interest will be big enough

If interest is high enough for the 660c and you can snag me a Graphite FC700R, I will love you forever <3

if the price is right

Dat leoplod

FILLED
You should have offered something like this on your first shipment!
-
Offerings like this make me sad that my preference is ISO :(
-
Fancy. Layout looks nice.
Has anyone tried this yet?
-
You are such a nice guy boost.

i believe boost has tried it already.
you can check review from another member here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42501.0) as well.

I wonder which one is better, This or HHKB. I have yet to one a Topre :(
-
Sorry, this is so random and off topic, but there seems to be a bug. I can't post in any thread except this one. There is not option for me to quick reply at the bottom or quote someone. I was going to ask this in the feedback/suggestion thread but I can't even make new topics anywhere.
Pic below shows no box at the bottom to type in, and I can't reply to anyone in the thread.
edit: looks like you guys fixed this problem, so disregard this post.

I also have this issue, although not with every thread.
Also I'd be interested but I'm in the UK, is it worth someone looking to do an EU GB as well?
-
I am definitely interested depending on price obviously. It sounds like this keyboard will be significantly cheaper than the HHKB, but if it comes to within 10-15% of the HHKB price, I might just go with the HHKB. Still interested though!
-
interested
-
We have 9 USA and 5 INT interested.
Don't think I'll handle the INT orders, if 1 of the 9 people on the USA want to proxy INT please let me know.
Thanks
Boost
-
Aw snap :/ Please proxy. Pretty pretty please.
-
Where are my INTs at?!
-
FYI, I shipped a leo to Italy via EMS and it was $55. Don't think it's worth it for INT.
-
If someone wants to buy one to try I'll buy it from you in July/August for full price if you don't like it lol
-
I'm kind of a hypocrite for doing this but I just filled out interest hoping this goes down boost sir
Be a cool board to travel around with, it's pretty and topre and my guess pretty light like the hhkb therefore good to fly with
If I don't like it I'll just sell it at a small loss
-
If I don't like it I'll just sell it at a small loss
Or sell it to me in July/August and lose nothing :)
-

would gladly do that but I can't promise I won't like this keyboard if I get it.
This 660C would make a good addition to the travel keyboard army I'm putting together (ergo dox is not travel friendly)
-

It fits perfectly in the front pocket of my ~15" laptop bag, and indeed is very light! I didn't have this in mind before, but this is my official travel board now. :-)
-
I still can't make a decision on this. After shipping, it puts this roughly in used HHKB territory. What to do?

It cost me the same as a new HHKB. But I still took the plunge. (Roughly $230 shipped)
-
I have both the 660 and type s, they are similar for the most part since they're both 45g uniform. The main differences are:
- 660 has a deeper throw, HHKB feels shorter
- The bottom out feel is softer on the 660, more forgiving
- 660 is quieter than HHKB but louder than type s variants
- Layout differences, they're pretty different as far as mini layouts go. It's all personal preference though
- Price difference, varies depending on where/when/how you get it

I like shorter throws personally, but the arrows are a nice touch for when I'm browsing the web. I like the aesthetics of the HHKB better as well. Black on black keys always look really good to me.

would gladly do that but I can't promise I won't like this keyboard if I get it.
I'll be happy either way :)
-
Hey Boost, any idea on how many orders are needed to make this happen?
J.
-
I'd be interested in 2, but only with blank keycaps. Is there any word as to when we can expect that version to ship (or confirmation that one of the blank keycap sets already available is compatible)?
-
Submitted a form, would love to get my hands on one to replace my 87U at work since I work in Vi 97% of the day. Then I could bring the 87U home to be my primary keyboard here :)
-
(ergo dox is not travel friendly)
? I thought it would have been more travel friendly since all the cables are detachable and it's in two pieces.
Oh and boost, I might be in for a second one. I gotta see how things settle out after the move next weekend.
-
What the heck, I couldn't resist, just signed up for one.
-

i should rephrase that, it is travel friendly and fits in a laptop bag nicely.
I love my ergodox (obviously) in my home office but the clear acrylic case and exposed nuts and bolts is a bit ugly, I wish there was another case option that looked more professional.
its about looks sometimes when you travel and the ErgoDox does not have the looks the Leopold 660C and HHKB have.
-
Sooooo, just wanted to put this out there. At the current price for the 660c+ ship to me+ ship to you(int) will not be worth it for int. Total for 1 660c shipped int was $240 and this was with the promo Leo was running(-$15)
-
:eek:
Definitely interested. Filled out the gdoc form.
Thanks boost

International shipping from the US is totally rape if you're shipping a keyboard.
So what's the price of this withing the US, out-the-door? Are they still willing to run that -$15 promo?

I'm thinking that I might be alright paying this much. Can't get it anywhere else, any other board with a Topre switch costs about that much, and did I mention that I can't get it anywhere else?

Seems like they ship internationally.

Hmm, it looks that way, seeing World Wide Shipping at the bottom, there.
Is that the case?

Yeah. I'm considering getting from there. Haven't used this site before.

Thanks. But I do have proxy shipping in US at cheap price. Using above site costs me $200. Waiting your quote price. :)

I just registered at GMarket, considering going with them for the FC660C, and came to this:
[attachimg=1]
Note the customer seller rating... Hmm...
bp
-
Closer inspection it looks like that might be a buyer complaining that he wanted a smaller spacebar.
I ordered. We'll see what happens.
Note there are two models that are listed in Korean on the product page (despite English mode). One is for Korean Black model. Other is Black English model. Found with translate, chose latter. Note, fwiw.
Also chose the red ESC key option... :-)

Why are choosing local delivery? Are you from Korea? :confused:
Second option seems like English key printed (Using google translate).

In my case, It looks like this:

Price quote! Price quote! Price quote!

filled out

STill waiting for the quote information
-
Filled out! More people the better chance this happens right?
-
Looks like we are at 31 USA and 10 INT :D
Once I get the quote will open the GB up!!!
-
I've checking this thread like four times a day in anticipation of that price quote. I even had a dream about Topre boards last night. In my dream the 45 g boards felt too light and I understood why many enthusiasts prefer the 55 g switches.
In real life I don't understand the differences between different Topre switches. Only in dreams...
-
Any idea what the price would be for a FC700R + shipping? I'd be looking for the Graphite/Grey one with MX Browns.
-
Yesssssssss......
-
Is there a 55g uniform option available as well? Just curious
-

There are no 55g version or blank keycap version

Still waiting on a ship from Gmarket... In the US here.

Got the quote back from Leo...
About $160-$165 for 30
Final cost shipped to your door for 1 in the USA is $200-$210
What the verdict? Can we handle 30?
-
Hell yea! DO IT! Edit: please ;D

pretty sure that wouldn't be a problem though if some people already have this now, it would take them out of the possible 30. hmmmm

I'm in :D
