Btw, these are essentially Leopold FC200 keyboards. Main difference is that stabilizers user costar instead of Cherry from Leopold. This also means that spacebar are weird stem spacing, so it won't be compatible with replacement ones.

Post by: Armagedda on Thu, 25 July 2013, 08:35:54: I bought one to muck around with, free shipping world wide so why not. May be more impressive to other Aussies who also lament the huge international shipping costs on boards.

And hey, they sell vibrating cock rings on here as well so this is basically all my Christmases come at once. Just gotta find a woman willing to make the biggest mistake of her life...

I know something about HPE, it's the OEM factory of TESORO mech keyboard, and HEC do have it's own brand mech http://www.overclock.net/t/1404324/find-some-new-mechanical-keyboards-that-never-heard/80

But is this board compatible with third party keycaps like the Filco and QFR TKL's?
Earlier poster said that the space bar has weird stem spacing which would make it incompatible with replacement keycaps.

Thanks.

I don't understand. I have used OEM profile replacement spacebars on many different boards (keycool 84 and 87 included) using both Cherry and costar stabilizers and stem spacing is the same.

Post by: MissMurd3r84 on Tue, 04 March 2014, 07:39:26: Hmm still $92 here. Good deal, but only like $6 cheaper than it shows for me other days on there.
I'm yet to notice it at the $112 it claims the normal price of it is.

Info like that is super important for most geekhackers, given that we like keycaps so much.
