I've been looking all over the place, and I've given up on finding one with blues AND tkl.... But at this point I cant even find any! I tried posting on reddit, and that didn't turn up any results either

(here's the thread FYI http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/19kax9/ok_guys_now_that_i_know_the_exact_keyboards_i/)
All help is appreciated!

elitekeyboards.com for us distributer and if you are looking for fc200r. You can buy ones with otaku caps.

rarar · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:08:11 »

I want one with the white case though

and I cant spend too much on keycaps due to other recent keyboard related purchases :/ I just want something pure white, very simple.

Leewei · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:10:22 »

Ohh. Sorry they used to have white ones but I guess they ran out of stock. I would try the classifieds section and see if anyone is letting theirs go.

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=113_1277. Here is another place, the model is the fc700r and is the latest tenkeyless leopold. They do not have otaku caps though and blues would have to pre-order. This is an Australian distributor if I am not mistaken.

ooooh. Thanks for that. Might go with reds, and just be delayed on the custom keycaps

I wouldn't want to replace those caps. They are PBT and are very good quality =)

I know, but I love blank caps. If I did replace I would do so with PBT

If I wanted to show off my keyboard collection would I post in new member section or in here?

Checkout geekhack media. Haha. Btw. Leopold is a great choice. I would have gotten one but I decided on a filco instead since it was more convenient at that time.

I was stuck between the filco and leopold, but what what I've heard the leo is more of a purer white, so thats why I chose it

Leewei · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:28:23 »

Yup that is true. I have a filco "white" and it is white with a slight beige.

rarar · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:29:08 »

Do you know where I could find a side-by-side with a filco and a leopold?

Leewei · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:33:00 »

I think I might have seen a picture like that somewhere. I would just google search a leopold fc700 and filco. You can tell the colors apart.

Someone helped me out in an IRC, the leo looks glossy? is that true? Doesn't look as glossy in the pictures on that website

rarar · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:46:36 »

Aw shucks, turns out that website you linked only delivers to Australia!!!

Curses, foiled again.

Leewei · « **Reply #18 on:** Thu, 07 March 2013, 20:51:04 »

Hmm that's too bad. The only places you can get a leopold fc700 is in Korean and Australia from what I know. US distributor is elitekeyboards but they only sell fc200 and they seem to have run out on white. You can probably message the elitekeyboards guy here on geekhack and ask him when there might be stock/news/updates. Otherwise you can try to find someone to proxy it to you from either Korea or Australia. Hopefully someone else can help you out with that if they come upon this thread.

You can get it in Hong Kong as well.
