Keycool 22 Limited Edition Keypad

[nubbinator]

I was stumbling around the Keycool website and came across this beast, the Keycool 22 Limited Edition.  Normally I'm not a keypad person, but I saw this and have to have it.  It has Clears and either white LEDs, a hodgepodge of color LEDs for a rainbow effect, or RGB LEDs. I'm not really sure which since info is sparse.  Anyone know if this thing is sold out or hasn't come to market yet or something?  MK doesn't have it and I can't find it on Taobao, eBay, Amazon, Qtang's web store, and so on. 

Product in question

Pictures. They're rather long, so I hid them.

^^ You can buy the keycool key pads with blue switches all over the place....but not one with clears and leds

Exactly this.  I've found it in several places with white LEDs and common switches, but none with Clears or RGB or color LEDs.

Qtan? Someone get qtan in here!!

[SpAmRaY]

I was going to get the leopold and mod it with clears but this might be a better option.

[jonathanyu]

it seems that the website got some problem when i press the buy button, and they only sell it in the Chinese website.

I remember seeing this a few months ago either on Keycool's site or somewhere else. I am pretty sure those are not RGB LED's, but rather just color LED's. Very typical LED colors, orange, green, white and blue. They would have probably showed at least red or more colors if they were RGB.

Can we see if someone can proxy a GB?

I'm interested in this also. 

[SpAmRaY]

I'm sure qtan can get these if anybody can.

I've PMed qtan with a link to this thread.

I am not sure how "Limited Edition" these keypads are because the same exact ones were on sale November 2012. So if they are still in production now, chances are it shouldn't be too hard to grab one through proxy.

See davkol's post in the thread below.

Sadly that's the Clears and White LED edition.

No worries.  It's nice to have someone trying to help.  I sent them off an e-mail to see if there are any available.

[qtan5370]

only few of them are made...I can see if there is any left.

Keycool supply sucks....

dibs on a keypad with mx clears dont' care about LEDs

[Sniping]

Dibs on multicolored 

[nubbinator]

No calling dibs when I'm the one who brought it to everyone's attention.  I get first dibs, then the rest can fight for it.

Even with Leds why do keypads cost so much!!! Adesso has one for a decent price but boy is it ugly.

No clue why they cost so much.  There's one with Alps that's like $20, but I've never understood how they could possibly be $70 for one.

If it is a limited edition, maybe extra cost to machine the plate (if any)?  Limited run of cases would cost more than bulk production.

It's a stock case best I can tell.  The only different part seems to be LEDs and Clears.  The cost thing was a more of keypads in general.

In that case, niche market, specialist product (especially a mechanical keypad).

Its been "Coming soon" for a while now. I wonder when it will release?

[Pacifist]

I'd rather buy the GHpad when its finished and put on clears and LED's. Its pretty pricey.
