Are the side printed caps the only difference from the 700?
EDIT: Oh I see they added a "Sound absorbing pad"
Is the spacebar standard?
I was in Korea a few days ago and saw one at a keyboard shop. They only had the sideprinted version, and from what I understand the top printed version is not out yet. I read that the spacebar is now, in fact, standard as well.
EK passed on the 700, I wonder IG these will make the cut...
Was looking to purchase a tkl, maybe I should wait and buy this?

Might be a while. When I saw one it seemed pretty decent, I'm not sure I'd drop too much on it, to be honest, though. Maybe up to $150, tops, but even then I'd probably rather get something else. The caps were nice, I think I would still replace them, but for stock caps they were still pretty good. The build was solid, but comparable to other
notably solid TKL builds. I'm a pretty big fan of Leopold, but I'm also pretty cheap :P

They seem to go for the same price as their predecessor the 700r, so I think it could be realistic that if hendyzone gets them in they'd be the same price, which would be 125$ + shipping.

I guess I'm kind of cynical here, but I don't think he'll charge the same price to be honest. It's a newer board, and the demand is likely higher, so I'm sure people would be willing to pay more for it. Also, in Korea, you could haggle down the price of the 700R, while (to be fair, it wasn't on sale at the time) I doubt a store owner would be willing to haggle down to the same price for a 750R.
Some pictures of the spacebar. Stabiliser sadly not visible.

Is that a normal stem spacing on the spacebar??
It looks like a proper spacebar stem spacing but it's hard to tell since the comparison is the 700R spacebar...
There are a few available on ebay direct from S. Korea. I think they're going for $135 + $26 shipping. Blue and Brown MX models only so far.Do you have a link? Thanks

So I was going to check this, and I look around to see the keybaords nearby I have:Some pictures of the spacebar. Stabiliser sadly not visible.

i think its standard
the 700R's spacebar stab in the middle's a little out of align with the standard bar where I checked mine to a universal.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/jQNSOBv.jpg)
not the best pic, but from top to bottom its Filco OEM, Tao Bao Universal, 700R
Looks like they've finally fixed the spacebar.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/eoMxK3A.png)

Looks like the Leopold spacebar will fit standard keyboards but not the other way around. Bad news.
Are the modifier keys/anything else also non standard?
Do you guys know if there will be any other colour schemes released? I really liked the brilliant white 700R and would happily get the 750r if it were released in white. Not a big fan of the grey...
