Opinions on the Keycool 87 ?
« on: Tue, 10 September 2013, 15:15:24 »
Hey!
I was browsing Feng's eBay store, and I found this: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Keycool-87-Backlight-Mechanical-Keyboard-w-Cherry-MX-Red-Switch-Red-LED-/330835982451?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4d075c7873
I think I've heard this brand name somewhere, but I never seen any review or thoughts on it.
Does anyone of you guys have this keyboard ? What's it like ?
I'm posting this since I'm french, and that it could be really cheap for me, I'll be paying like ~130€ and not ~$160, wich is kinda interesting.
Thanks in advance!

With shipping it should be about 114€?

I'm using one too - very nice board.

Comparable to QFR (although it feels slightly lighter, that could have something to do with the MX reds as opposed to MX blacks in the QFR, nevertheless the keyboard itself feels lighter).

Quick shipping from qtan.  Compatible with most replacement keycap sets.

Minimal branding (logo on the front of the space bar).

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
