I would like to have Lefthanded boards some more.
This time 108 keys (not 104 ones).
It has extra 4 keys on top left corner.


Strongman Website is dead now. How can I contact them ?


Thanks..

As far as I know Strongman is still in business and was a recent OEM for some of the newer mechanical keyboards. I think the Korean Leopold boards might be produced by Strongman still too. Maybe if you can look up the FCC ID, you can find more information on how to contact Strongman.

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/

Give it a try. I hope this helps.

L*****d refused to answer me about their secret partner(s) in Taiwan. Said it is a kind of contract. Pity.

What can I do for that, if I know FCC ID of Strongman ? I already know. I am a return customer of them. It starts with KM9 and that is it.

Thanks, your comment.

The keyboard layout is awesome!

I am right handed. I could have my mouse close the keyboard like a mini keyboard, and even better I don't have to sacrifice the numpad!!!

I just google searched "lefthanded keyboard". Seems like DSI is the only company produces them. Where can I get more information?

Right, they are the only one in US.
Actually, they do not produce, they just distributes.

As you saw it, it is 104 keys (yes, the one I am typing it now).
I sent a Email couple of days ago, but no answer yet.

What kind of information do you need more ?
It is not a NKRO, basically cherry brown stems (I got black).

i guess SMK is the only one who can make lefties.
long time ago Sejin Korea made a nice one, but not anymore.
and that was Futaba not cherry.

Korean has their own taste.
that is different from mine.

thanks, your comment.

There are also the following (pretty expensive) alternative for lefties:

http://www.amazon.com/DSI-Handed-Mechanical-Switch-Keyboard/dp/B0009S52X8 (Cherry MX Blue?)
http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=484 (Cherry MX Black linear)

Not really a clue on Strongman, but at least some alternatives..

Glad I could help.
Also it took a really long time to understand the hidden message in your post now, when it hit me I smiled. So THAT is you!

Thanks for the information.
I was looking for any other company producing keyboards in this kind of layout.

No NKRO.... I'll have to think about it.
I don't like Cherry brown and black stems. I like light black.
And definitely willing to try blue ones.
