Whoops, just ordered another 87U Silent black.  Oh, and a set of blue Topre key caps.  I'll mix and match the blue caps between the pair of 87U's at home and work.

Well, the good thing is, you're going to be offsetting some of that cost by selling at least one of your current Cherry MX based keyboards when it arrives.  Just saying...

How flexible are the EK guys? I would bite on a Cherry Red over the B-Stock Cherry brown, But, I want the Cherry Red in white, not black. Think if i posed them this, they'd be willing to give the discount on one of the white boards?

"Topre-esque key caps"

Considering Leopold makes Realforce keyboards, I guess you can assume the key feel and quality of these new PBT keycaps for the Leopold are on par with Topre

What's the sudden reason for such a price drop? Always thought red switches were supposed to be 'better' (since they're so light)and hence more expensive, or atleast that's what people made'em out to be...

Sometimes I'm thinking that registering on geekhack was one of my mistakes. Some keyboards/keycaps are already ordered/shipping, christmas gifts are on their way, yet I just ordered a Topre board. This better be as good as people here claimed, because if I want to be poor, I'd rather be happy and poor than sad and poor :X

What do you mean by B-stock?

Does it have something to do with this:

Model: FC200RE/AB
------------------^


If so, can you explain the model naming schemes for the Leopolds to me? I'm going to get one soon to replace a PLU with browns I just killed, I don't know which to get though

Factory-refurbished demos and returns

FC200RT = Brown
FC200RC = Blue
FC200RR = Red
FC200RL = Black
FC200RE = Clear

the B in the example you provided stand for Black, the color of the keyboard case/keycaps

So is there any way to tell which ones they sell are new and which are refurbs, or was he referring to getting them from another place?

got my shipping notice today...

If you are waiting to place your order... looks like the 45g models are running low.

White 87U 45g - 7 Left
Black 87UB 45g - 4 left

Looks like everything else is stocked pretty well.

just a question.. because I ordered the 87u variable weight (like i posted earlier in this thread) but
do they come with PBT keycaps?
I am just wondering because I was under the impression that they do but I cannot find it on the page that says pbt keycaps.
When you look at the 103u / ub, the PBT keycaps are mentioned. so a bit confused.

indeed they are, which explains the high price.

Yea i know but I have been holding off buying it for a while and its regularly out of stock. A nice numpad comes in handy especially with a HHKB. I believe I should be able to set the numlock on both the 87UB and the 23UB to be independent of the system right other wise if I use them together the will be mayhem.
