It'll be cheaper for the patient.

Everything is. But there are always impatient people. Myself included

Yeah, I haven't seen a bright white keyboard from Filco or Leopold. I think the MJ1's were, but I could be mistaken.

laffindude · « **Reply #304 on:** Tue, 22 May 2012, 12:03:29 »

I'll take mistaken for 200, Alex.
Both generation of Filcos are ivory. The whitest board I've seen is the TT Meka G1.

Did you get a black one? It looks gray in the pictures. Was curious how it looks. Also where'd u order?

@artielange: may not believe it but directly from the leopold.co.kr itself.
@ripster: right after I can claim my camera back, sir.
@dante: cherry stabilizers. . . . .

I've just had a very nice read, thank you for sharing.
Expecting your photos, they'd make the review even better.

I love the grey color in MagicMeatballs picture. Do want.

Photos updated. I'm not much of a photographer so please don't comment on image quality.

Rafen · « **Reply #313 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 06:06:09 »

I was wondering is the spacebar one of those odd size ones that are on the 200?

Yes. . . yes it is. . . .

BTW: second one arrived

Rafen · « **Reply #315 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 16:08:59 »

Does anyone know if these will be available at elite keyboards anytime soon?

dbdynsty25 · « **Reply #316 on:** Fri, 25 May 2012, 16:36:24 »

So this uses the same spacebar mechanic as the Ducky...damn. I like the Filco/Costars way better. Was looking forward to a tenkeyless, hopefully with black cherrys, and some media controls for less than the price of my Filco.

BucklingSpring · « **Reply #317 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 08:14:10 »

Any full size Leopold with 1.3mm PBT keycaps?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #318 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 13:29:31 »

Something funny is going on with the keycaps.

Compare the white one with the black one.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #319 on:** Sat, 26 May 2012, 16:46:22 »

Well I realized that 1.3mm isn't very thick.

project2501 · « **Reply #320 on:** Mon, 28 May 2012, 09:32:57 »

Found this review in Korean. http://alltstory.tistory.com/89

It's totally useless other than the in the wild pics and a funny translation.

That picture makes it look almost like a military greenish gray. Regardless, it looks great.

project2501 · « **Reply #322 on:** Tue, 29 May 2012, 23:29:37 »

Graphite cherry brown ordered.

The grey does look very

The_Beast · « **Reply #323 on:** Wed, 30 May 2012, 00:23:51 »

I'm really liking this board, it still depends on pricing but I'm really looking at getting one

Edit: The non-standard spacebar length and it not having stabilizer bars is a bit off putting

limniscate · « **Reply #324 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 00:46:13 »

I have a grey one in Cherry Blues and a black one in Cherry Browns. It's much nicer than the FC200.

Zamorph · « **Reply #325 on:** Fri, 01 June 2012, 18:57:28 »

This is looking amazing by the pictures. But, I wonder if that is all worth it vs the older leopolds are now what, 90 each?

Caaaarrrt · « **Reply #326 on:** Tue, 05 June 2012, 09:05:18 »

For any Aussies wanting one, these are now in stock at Pccasegear - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=113_1277

My first TKL keyboard.

nearmellomt · « **Reply #328 on:** Fri, 07 September 2012, 22:43:35 »

Does anyone know where I can get the FC700R TKL White version with Blue switches and have it shipped to the US? (Washington State)

The websites I could find are all out of stock, or they don't ship to the US.

Thanks in advance.

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #329 on:** Fri, 07 September 2012, 23:57:04 »

Get someone in Korea to proxy one to you. If you happen to know anyone, I'd be interested in one too.

snarlingchicken · « **Reply #330 on:** Fri, 07 September 2012, 23:58:31 »

It was worth every penny for mine

Typing on it as we speak!

sordna · « **Reply #331 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 22:20:19 »

For those that like o-rings, fear not, just put o-rings on all keys except the cherry-stabilized ones, and the keyboard will feel uniform.

WASD has the best o-rings by the way:

swagpiratex · « **Reply #332 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 22:37:55 »

Still no way to get this besides getting it forwarded from Korea?

metalliqaz · « **Reply #333 on:** Sat, 08 September 2012, 23:17:01 »

Too bad. I want one so badly. My leo is my favorite keyboard and I assume some PBTs would only improve the love

PS: is it true you can get them with clears?

MissMurd3r84 · « **Reply #334 on:** Sun, 16 September 2012, 08:32:54 »

So close to buying this with blue switches (red are sold out where I want to get it from, was tempted to try red, but I guess it's a sign for me not to) and the white keyboard. But people had me a bit worried with all the negativity to cherry stabilisers. Hmm. I guess if I don't get this I could wait and see what the TKL WASD eventually release will be like, if they hurry

metalliqaz · « **Reply #335 on:** Sun, 16 September 2012, 09:17:03 »

FWIW I like the cherry stabilizers better.

MissMurd3r84 · « **Reply #336 on:** Sun, 16 September 2012, 09:24:46 »

I'd only be comparing it to the dreaded Blackwidow and my Ducky Dragon. The white looks really nice.. What to do. Ahhh.

MissMurd3r84 · « **Reply #337 on:** Sun, 16 September 2012, 20:10:55 »

Went ahead and ordered one last night after my last post. Hopefully I will get it this week sometime
