Apparently now includes dyesub PBT?

Looks like some models have backlit and some do not.

I'm digging the red doubleshots.

I like the double shot caps.

Are these oem or cherry profile?

One version has absorbing pads. I wonder how that works.

Interested on the red double shot caps if they are close to cherry profile.

they look taller than cherry profile, but I'll have to get my hands on one to tell for sure

wonder if they're going to change the stem placing on the space bar, AGAIN.

They already normalized it on the 750R

Are Leopold keyboards still available to buy somewhere in the US?
Apparently elitekeyboards doesn't sell them anymore.

Look like same type as Max Keyboard Blackbird style double shot ABS, so probably same profile which is most likely OEM.

Unless they're really balling and re-tooled everything.

If only double-shot, front-face legends were a thing. A guy can dream...  :rolleyes:

Hoping those orange doubleshots get sold in their own set at some point.

Those leopold caps being sold on Ebay or cherry-profile-like. I thought they would continue in that style.

There is a seller on ebay named 'widebasket'.  He has been selling Leopold products for a while now.  Hendyzone might start selling them but I think he is waiting on stock.

CM Storm was working on a backlit keyboard with side printed backlit legends.  I think this was shown at the last CES but I haven't seen/heard of it since; the must have redirected all their resources to the Novatouch.
