Title: Leopold 750 spacebar is normal
Post by: Novus on Sun, 15 February 2015, 23:25:43

I've seen quite a few people mention in various threads and such that the Leopold 750 uses non standard space bar stems like the older Leopolds (700, 500 and etc).
Just wanted to get this out there and dispel the notion.

The 750 is completely normal!
Hope this helps if you were considering a 750 which is an awesome keyboard.

Thanks for dispelling. :-*

Does it mean all keys of 750 are normal/standard?

I think the 750RT is newer and has standard spacing on the spacebar (which makes the keyboard completely standard).  The earlier 750 keyboards are not standard...

There are some pictures out there of both..

Really?...

It seems Leopold update their keyboards relatively fast(compared to Filco). Should I regard their products as creative, or unstable/immature?

Wait: I can't find 750rt in Leopold's official site, only 750r.

I don't believe they sell it as a 750RT, that is just the different PCB....If you're interested you can do a search on it...

As far as their product..they've had non standard space bars for awhile...I don't know why but it isn't new to them...and for some reason (which is good) they changed to standard spacing...
