Title: Snake year version keycool KBs with cherry mx clear switches
Post by: xuanwumen on Fri, 07 February 2014, 07:36:39
Hi,guys

Shoot me with your ideas if these KBs are still popular in the users minds.
We have keycool 84,87,108 versions with cherry mx clear switches.

I have stayed here for some time, so i think it is the right place to have the right people for the right KB.
Sorry it is not posted in vendor forum, since i do not know how to ....


Let us show you the pics of the KBs.

Will keep on presenting more new items from KC.

They are fine keyboards and a lot of people are still looking for MX Clear boards. Give it a shot I'd say.
Talk to one of the mods for your own vendor forum.

P.s. I have a Year of The Dragon board with Clears from them. These fonts look much nicer.

KeyCools are great keyboards, especially with the option for MX Clears.

I wish KeyCool would make more of their side printed POM keycap sets. They're always sold out on taobao, etc.

xuanwumen:

Have some questions if you are tight knit with KC factory:

When KC first hit the market they started out with Cherry satellite stabilizers.  Then a little later they moved to costar style bar stabilizer.  Now the 2014 KC that I see on taobao are back to Cherry stabilizers.  Are they going to pick one and stick with it?

What is going on in the Asia market for keyboards with POM?  KC and Noppoo used to have a lot of models with POM but I notice recently switched to ABS or PBT.  Even Cherry MX 3.0 is using ABS where they used to use POM.  Is POM being discontinued in China?

Just for curiosity sake.

I bought one of these boards, the 104-key model.  Very nice quality, easily one of my favorite keyboards for daily use.  Not as heavy as Ducky, but the attention to details and construction are top notch.

I would love to get my hands on one of the MX Clears 87 keyboard.
What is the price you are looking to sell that for including shipping? I may be interested to buy one off you in the future.

For the stabilizer, "Spamray" once asked me the same question.
I asked the sales from kc, he told me it is only for balancing purpose. They do not specifiy brand for this.

For POM caps, now the kc84 backlit black verison is still POM. For ordinary kc 84, now only white PBT version available.
ABS caps are still in use,even in their latest new 108 white with white backlit .
Will have those new KBs in stock later soon.

Hope it helps a little

don't worry, people like clear switches and will definitely bump up for you.

And I can say that KeyCool is definitely a well built brand. You should have few complaints.
