Title: What are my options?
Post by: 8bitderp on Sat, 26 July 2014, 21:26:50: Looking for a smaller than TKL (60-75%) Board With MX Clears...

The only one I know of at the moment is the KBP V60

Massdrop just did a run of Poker 2 keyboards with clears, over 500 units sold. Hopefully they'll do another one eventually. The Keyed up Labs 87 is available in mx clears too, but that's a TKL unfortunately.

That's from qtan.

You could send him a PM on GH and ask if he can do you a better price.

And the third time I'm going to type this:

Get a Keycool 84.

If you can find a Poker II with Clears from someone in Classifieds, that would be a sweet board. Or hope for a new Massdrop run of them.

Qtan has the FC660M in Clears, both in dark grey and white for $110 plus shipping:

Then if you can find one, the Keycool 84 II with Clears is also a good board.

Yeah I couldn't commit the funds at that time.... I was still waiting for my USPS Insurance claim to get to me, as the CODE that i bought off someone ended up with a hole in the packaging and a broken spacebar and enter key. (I got the full amount of insurance)

Post by: 8bitderp on Tue, 29 July 2014, 14:45:03: 218 USERS WANTING another Poker 2 Clear Drop! Does anyone know how they actually work (re-drops) about how many people need to request it before they get another drop?

Post by: Hundrakia on Tue, 29 July 2014, 15:17:05: They need to have the interest, then they go to the company/manufacturer to negotiate bulk pricing. If the manufacturer agrees, then they open the drop for sale. It will likely drop again, the clears one they doubled ( the manufacturer) the initial amount after an overwhelming response. They'd be unwise not to!
