Your post on Keycool interests me. I looked into the Keycool 84, now to just find it in stock with cherry blues...

Yeees, give in :D

Try aliexpress or PM user xuanwumen

You can get them pretty cheap on taobao and other Chinese versions of eBay. Just use translate page. Plenty of reasonable shipping vendors.

Thanks, Am I right in seeing this for $77?

I'll also ask qtan I hear he is good with Tao Bao?
*edit* Ah I saw qtan stopped with Keycool for now :| The search continues. I just really liked the options keycool gave on the 84. I'm biding my time. I know I'll find something good If I keep hanging around here :)

$77 sounds about right. You can also get iKBC boards for a similar price, which have PBT keys too. I can't personally attest to their quality, but they are plate mounted and "look" decent.

I was thinking about getting one of these:

But if I can manage the Chinese site 77$ sounds better even with 10-20$ shipping if it came to that.

You can find vendors that charge 10 units of their Chinese currency for shipping, which is essentially free haha Usually they charge around $25 though.

Need to find someone first :p So far the people that I have talked to say they don't have it.

I recently ordered a 104 set of PBT laser etched SIDE print keycaps from TaoBao for $30 shipped. The seller had a lot of good feedback. Wonder how long they'll take to arrive. If they don't arrive soon, I'll end up buying a Filco Ninja lol

I really want a Leopold FC700R too ... I think I have the fever!
