Title: Ugh... KUL ES-87 already sold out?
Post by: abdulmuhsee on Sun, 26 October 2014, 20:43:42
So I finally got around to my attempt to purchase the KUL ES-87 Tenkeyless with clears only to find out that it's out of stock at the only place that has it.

Are there any other options for a tenkeyless with clears, or am I just out of luck?

What makes you think it's bad? All I've heard is that it's a "better" brown, more tactile at least.

Noticed that myself last night when checking out their Realforce boards.  Another possible option off the top of my head would be a WASD CODE Clear TKL, which are still in stock here  (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/review/product/list/id/133/?limit=50).

Going to really reach here and guess that it's probably because they like the switch.

I have one that is like new sitting in the box. My second try with clears don't really dig them. I might be willing to sell it shoot me an offer if you're interested. My bad if I'm breaking any rules

They seem to be sold out of the Clear switch an awful lot to be honest, luckily for me my switch of choice is that of the MX red, but to be honest, I agree with the post below.

Why get a top-end keyboard with an inferior switch, I really do not see the appeal what so ever.
