Title: Did the Leopold factory burn down
Post by: intelli78 on Fri, 09 November 2018, 12:44:40: I noticed the supply of Leopold keyboards almost completely dried up in the last couple months. This was right after they allegedly moved production to a new facility. Anybody know what happened? For a company to totally stop shipping product, it must have been something serious. :-X

I know the FC660c has shot waaaaaaay up in price due to shortages.

Did something actually happen? Maybe it's just the supposed transition?
