Title: White Leopold Keyboard
Post by: knotra on Tue, 23 April 2013, 20:48:57
Hi guys.

I been looking for a white leopold keyboard for a while now but I can't seem to find any that will ship to the US.

I'm looking for either blue or brown switches. TKL or Full size.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

these are the keyboards: (they only ship around Australia)

think twice before you get this, it's white PAINTed, the plastic beneath is not white. whitish, but not the same white at all.

good to know.  What the hell happened - all keyboards used to be white.  Is it because making a white keyboard today is difficult with cheap plastic?

I have no idea why they don't make white.

But maybe because white reminds people of the "beige" of the past..

May I suggest this Keycool keyboard....you can find it with browns and blues plus it comes with pbt keycaps.

w/blues - http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=383
w/browns - http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=385

I'm looking to buy one with blues myself but I am still unsure as to the quality of the Keycool brand. Both keyboards range between $89 to $93.
