Oh sheeee, son. Dayummmm. Even though they've finally done what I've wanted since they first announced the 660c, and I eventually caved and bought their printed black, I probably won't pull the trigger until they give me blanks.

Get both because the Novatouch is a different layout compared to this smaller one.

Like that they have decided to go for the traditional 2-tone set like all previous keyboards.  Maybe they want more interest from the conservatives out there, because this one will be added to my Thorpie collection (which I still despise)  >:( .

The price on Leopold's site is the same as the first dyesub FC660C, so about $220. Purchase options will be EK (best bet; they got the other models pretty fast), eBay exporters, or shopping services. Best to wait for EK if possible or you'll probably pay out the ass.

45g.  It says down towards the bottom.

I think it's pretty safe to assume it's 45g, like all other FC660Cs. However, as I've posted about many times before, the newer FC660Cs are very close to RF 55g, despite being designated as 45g.

I love the color scheme, but the legends are actually a little bit too small for my taste. It would look even better if the arrow keys were light grey as well.

If they sell these caps separately, I might get them for my 660C :)

I do agree that the font could be better, and the mods could be a lighter grey.

But it still looks slick.

Does someone know if there a forwarding services like tenso.com in South Korea? The good Leopold stuff is rather hard to get in Europe.

On a sidenote: I PM'd Hendy about 660Cs some days ago. He said he's trying to get them but can't promise anything. Maybe he'll try to get the white version if we bother him enough :)

My fault for asking him to sell it on his website, sure enough he fronted.  Nothing better than buying from someone that actually supplies Thorpie gear to everyone around the world (also bought from him the Realforce Key-caps).

I'll admit that board is beautiful, but there's something off-putting about the FC660C. Maybe it's the disjointed look of the layout. It's not balanced. There's no symmetry. Just my OCD kicking in, I know.

Making this so difficult, I was shooting for a RF 87u 55g in white, but now with this it's making it impossible to choose between them. The form factor of the Leopold is delicious.

I may end up going with RF 55g because it sits flatter on the desk. I remember appreciating how low-profile it was compared to other boards, including the 660...

But yes it is a hard decision indeed!

There are very few whiter than white keyboards - most "white" ones are off-white, or slightly beige.

Yep, very true. Leopold especially has a history of releasing slightly beige white keyboards.

If you are looking for true white, the ones I know are keycool and limited editions of duckies and quickfire TK. And then you can always try acrylic custom cases if that's your thing.

I needed another Topre keyboard since my brother confiscated the one I have at home. In the end I ended up getting the Realforce 87U all-45g. I was not willing to spend the $280 x 1.19 (Yes, our Dutch customs charges VAT over the shipping charge as well) + $customs fee by importing this keyboard (350 dollars). Then also having it arrive by the end of next month somwhere (our customs can easily add a week or more).

With my keyboards being at 2 working places... I am now typing on a Logitech wireless keyboard with Chiclet keys  >:D

Holy crap that's hot. I was thinking of getting another HHKB to use at home (I keep my current one mainly at work) but this could very well be my new home keyboard. Looks stunning.

No plans to apparently.

I emailed EK yesterday, and this is the reply I got back today.

                                                                                                               
"Thank you for your interest. However, we do not have any plans on
stocking the white FC660C at this time.

Ohhh! That vintage scheme is cool ... I made  my decision with RF 55g a few months ago but this looks really nice and I don't know why but the asymmetric layout looks better for me with this color scheme.

Oh man, that is awesome  :eek:. I've been using the black one with grey dye subs for about a month now as my daily driver, and love the hell out of it. Wish I could get just those keys... it'd be downright sexy

Has anyone picked one up yet?

Curious to see more photos.

Also, seems to be really hard to get a normal FC660C now. EK all out of stock. I'm hoping to get a black/blank board, unless I go for RF87U 45g... again, not easy to get.

I think widebasket has a few up on eBay. A little spendy after shipping from Korea, but with EK not planning to stock them, it's your best bet.

Edit: Whoops, you said normal FC660C. Widebasket still might have some of those, I know he has the white version and the dyesubbed version.

Says $18 international shipping... am I missing something? Here in Canada, we spend 2-4x that for the same size item from the US.

I am seriously considering one. The lack of availability is making this purchase even more complicated... but I'm torn between FC660C, 87U 45g, or 87U 55g.

In the spirit of geekhack, if you can swing it you might want to consider getting two of the three. A lightly used 55g 87u has a very strong resell value in the classified section, and I have no doubts that a white FC660C will as well. Of course reselling is a bit of a hassle, so it might only be worth it to go down this road if you are truly torn.

I think Asian countries have some sort of subsidized shipping I think.
US to Canada is indeed really expensive.
