Title: FC660M now available with dye sub thick PBT caps
Post by: intelli78 on Wed, 09 April 2014, 06:50:45
Just ran across these on eBay. Decent legends. Price a bit rough but probably cheaper than sourcing a PBT set with Leo space bar.  Looks like Leopold has been busy lately, what with this and the 750r.

I don't think the price is too steep, it's just that $20 shipping that makes it worse. I hope EK starts expanding their inventory soon, but I'm not very knowledgeable in the logistics it takes to even get these products to the states.

$50 US for the set is not bad, but it is not really a low price either. Only if you consider that it fits the layout of the FC660M with no additional search for an space bar or right shift.


Thank you so much for pointing both, the keyboard and the caps set. I will mark this thread for my records, in case I need an additional set.

That's an interesting keycap box as well.

You should contact QTan to ask him that, the site does not have but black, red, blue and brown switches now for the boards with dyesub caps. The boards with pad printed caps have the clears available, but not the new with sublimated legends discussed here.

Yeah I was curious about that, since I did see the old version with clears. *but* I do not have a board with blacks yet.. Maybe thats what i should go with!

FWIW link to the qtan's store: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/category/cateogry1-name/catId=4367799

It costs $126 and comes with a black/gray/white/blue case and MX Black/Red/Brown/Blue switches.

I thought I was done with such keyboards, but this is tempting.

It's been on Taobao for some time (like a month).
The keycaps are pretty good even in dye sub ones imo
