379RMB

It cost the same as the PLU 87 with Browns.

Interesting. Do they ship overseas, or do you have to use an agent to buy it?

Agent via Obook. I read that it cost around USD9x shipped via Obook. I'm not sure, but it is still very cheap for a red switch keyboard at that price

Forum members have had success using this agent in the past -- http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?13869-Noppoo-Choc-Mini&p=285416#post285416

I was waiting for a 87key filco red to pop up for sc2.  I'm wondering if this will be an acceptable substitute.  I'm guessing it only has 2KRO?

I checked with taobao agent "Michael" and he said that the red switch PLU won't be in stock until mid June. Same info from here, in Chinese, first post, IM conversation: http://www.pcwaishe.cn/thread-172129-1-1.html  In the conversation, the seller said if pre-order now, it comes with 8 red keys.  Probably WASD plus something else, maybe arrow keys, but the seller didn't specify.

Also, on the fifth post, pp2310338 said there is a rumor that KBC will release 2 new keyboards, 104 and 107, with user-changeable or configurable lights (LED?).

Wow, buying from taobao costs a lot more than I expected. How much was the Filco tenkeyless reds?

User-changeable LEDs, that sounds like an interesting idea.

So i talked to my friend who bought a plu87 from eBay.  He told me after he swapped the caps lock and ctrl key, and if he does ctrl + any other key sometimes it works, sometimes it it just the letter.  That is a deal break for him.  Anyone has a PLU87 to try?

When is KBC going to fix their website?

Don't they know how to code in Taiwan/PRC?

Looks like a bunch of geeks talking about keyboards stuff. Oh, wait...

For the record, their keyboard does cheer me up.
