Neo KB-87 Zelia
« on: Thu, 04 September 2014, 08:32:02 »
Not a lot of info on this board.  It looks like it might still be for sale in China (at around 500-600CNY).  Is it possible to get one of these in the States?  My Google Fu is strong, but I'm having a hard time finding one.  Even the usual importer sites don't have it.




Those POM key caps are calling my name.

Everyone I know who has one got theirs through taobao and an agent or something similar. I would contact qtan and see if he can get you one.

I always liked the low profile case of this KB, POM keycaps are nice too. Looks like it might be cherry profile even.

Some people had issues with theirs when these first came out, but I think I read somewhere they fixed the issues.

This is his store:

vendor forum:

Looks like most stores in china are having problems with stock, I guess a version II came out?

From what little information (in English) I could find, they released a version 2 to resolve issues with weak/intermittent wireless connectivity.

I'd be using it wired for the most part, so the wireless thing doesn't bother me, but I'd still probably rather have the most updated version if I can get it.

So qtan is a vendor?  I'll check out those links, thanks.

Very interesting board. Looks like the keycaps may come from the same supplier Noppoo uses for the Choc Mini.

Another option may be the PLU ML-87. Also TKL with POM caps, but plate mounted and full height case.

No response from qtan or MechanicalKeyboards. Am I missing something here, or am I just SOL on this one?

I see qtan has a heading in his web store for this brand but it's currently empty.
