Where to buy Leopold FC700R (White, US English)?
« on: Sun, 06 January 2013, 23:45:07 »
Hi all,

After hours on end of weeding through interwebs and reaching double digit Google page, I have thrown the towel to plead for help to wonderful keyboard community. I have been a silent member for a while :-).

So, I could not find any website where I can order Leopold FC700R (white with Cherry MX Black, keys). EK doesn't carry the white version. :-( Any suggestions?

PCCaseGear.au only ships to Australians. Oh man...I feel helpless haha. I am in love with the Leopold design - very minimalistic and has high quality PBT caps. Also, its the milkiest white keyboard out there, unlike some of the off-white versions.

Thanks :-)

I believe at the moment Leopold FC700Rs are, as you said, only available in AU and Asia. Someone opined that EliteKeyboards needs to clear out their stock of FC200Rs before we'll see FC700Rs.

Maybe an Aussie can proxy one to you if you were willing to spend the extremely high amount on shipping.

Money is not an object, but if someone from Australia is willing to proxy one for me, that would be amazing. I can pay the extra shipping + effort money....and I can order one from PCCaseGear to the provided address.

I think Rowdy is closest to PCCG out of all the Aussies on here, not sure though. I am not sure if they charge more for distance or what. Are you in America?

Nah, their shipping isn't free. Cost me $18 I think to get my Leopold sent to where I am in Australia.

I've been looking for these newer Leopold revision for a while too with no luck. I'm particularly interested in the caps. EK said they won't carry these because of some issue with these keyboards.

Ah that might be a better idea for them. I just went and checked out postage and it would be up to $55. Am willing to still proxy if needed though.`

It is very addictive.  Especially when some of the guys (and girls) post pictures of their Korean keyboards with rare custom keycaps ;)

Haha ... speaking about the  pictures, here is my set up with Max Keyboard (X8 or X9, I forgot). I think a white keyboard here would be sex-on-a-stick.  :cool:
