They are now listing the price. The red chars in the small img next to the name on the site according to a gentleman I work with say coming soon. So still no stock to order. In side the page there is a wish list button with next to it the same tag still stating April release.

The price is making me drool, I can't wait for it to be up for sale as I will defn be buying a grey board with reds.

Why is the grey model so popular it looks just like the black model only a shade lighter and I would hardly call grey looks more like off black

If your going off the original pictures they looked to be renders only so actual color wont be known until after actual photos are posted. I think why its so popular is because of the industrial look.

The pics on leo's site were updated. The Grey looks nice especially with the cream color printing on the keycaps. But I think after I get one, I will swap to a mix of dark green and white keys with a orange esc key. Now to just find PBTs that meet my needs.

Can't wait to snag one of these. Friends in Korea FTW.

There has been a change on the leo site. The coming April text has been removed and changed to say "In Stock". You are able to click to order along with setting a quantity. Time now to figure out how to setup an account to order.

piken · « **Reply #124 on:** Thu, 12 January 2012, 06:58:41 »

Looks like they do not offer shipping outside of Korea (or even the ability to setup an account outside of Korea). I will send them an email to discuss if they can ship here. Maybe get them to do a large group order if I can get the following here for it.

That would put EK in a bad position. I think EK might have some agreement regarding Leopold sales in the US but I am just guessing.
If the group buy method fail, I guess you can pull a Unicomp tenkeyless on EK and see what happens.

I got some spare time today. And see the famous Lie-Fold have launched some ****ty-board again.

First pic. Funny spaced bar. (Thanks GLST of KBDMania).

According hearsay, it matches with their model "300R" only.
They call it "Our advanced new and own design". Silly.

They do not have any original design.
They only have old clone and bit_older_but_newly launched another clone. That is it (Ah, and full of bull****s..).

Isnt the designer of the Filcos and the 200R the same? What about the new 700R?

Yo Hamblet.

Long time no see.

How are the Korean Keyboard Forums treating you?

Way worse than that.

When I say "FUC" they recon me, so I could not finish "KING".

Fresh stupids are gathering day by day.
Old bloods are still there with no brain.
