There aren't many white TKL mechanical keyboards, especially leopold.

You could buy that and get white PBT/ABS key caps on it but idk what else.

EK does not sell 700R.  What you have linked is 200R, which is different.  You can contact qtan to see about importing an FC700R.

I believe the only retailer that has the FC700r is PC-Casegear( It seems their out of stock atm) which is based out of Australia unfortunately. You would have to find someone to proxy it to you once it comes back in stock or keep an eye out in the classified section of the forums.

Hi,

Previous owner of the FC700R here (purchased from the mentioned PC Case Gear).
It was a nice keyboard- but nothing special. Still suffers from Leopold's 'special' spacebar which makes replacing it more of a challenge. PBT keycaps were nice, but not amazing.

Shipping from (or to) Australia is expensive. Assuming you are in the US you'd be looking at a minimum of $40USD postage, probably more.
If I was in your position, I'd get something like a Coolermaster QFR and a PBT dyesub set of your choice. Will likely end up being cheaper, and you'll have a more personalised product at the end of it.

Non standard stem spacing. Makes it so you may not be able to use custom space bars from key cap sets.

If you look at EK's space bar (the third picture): http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=sb_u2

That one is "universal" and has a couple of extra stems to suit the Leopold layout.  Most space bars are not so flexible.

The QFR will make it somewhat easier to get replacement keycaps in the future, mainly due to the Leopold's non-standard space bar.
