Leopold FC900R / Archiss ProgressTouch Retro Stock Clipped Cherry Stabilizers

[Hyde]

So I was fortunate enough to go on a Japanese trip recently and they have those at their local computer store:

Archiss ProgressTouch Retro

So after some research I found that they're basically rebranded Leopold FC900R and they're both made in Taiwan.

First impression is that their Cherry stabilizer feel really good, I almost thought they were Costar.

Anyone that can read Korean can you explain what they say in the pic here:  http://www.leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1416364556

In the pic it clearly shows a grey color stabilizer stem.  So this must be a custom one specific to this model.

They should manufacture all future keyboards with this Cherry stabilizer stems.  I used to swear by Costar stabilizer because I can't stand the mushiness, but this might be a game changer.

Nice find 

Is the rebranded version cheaper than the original?

Hmmmm it was about 12,000 JPY?  I think it works out to be a little under $100 USD.

Where as normally it would cost about $130-140 on ebay but mechanicalkeyboards.com start to carry them (Leopold FC900R) at $119.

So in my case I save about $20 + shipping fee.  Not a huge save but still not bad lol.
