Seems like a lot of folks are waiting for the white one. EK is down to 45 units from 48-50 yesterday -- I expected more people to jump on this.I wonder when they're going to get in other new Leopolds. Almost all of the existing Leopold models are OOS or dwindling stock.

I want to get my first topre board but I keep waiting for CM's version.Is there a white pbt topre version of this leopold that is supposed to come out? If that exists, I'll have to buy it.

i can't stand the unused space on the right side of the fc660. does noone agree? i haven't seen this complaint on these forums..and why did they leave the spacebar ABS on the fc660? it's a dealbreaker for me.i really want a full-pbt 60% with topre switches if only there was a pure pro with topres. i can't really miss the dedicated arrow keys or pbt caps :/
very impressive looking keycaps, but I really dislike the color.. what's wrong with dark gray dyesub or white dyesub?
Looking at the box and the huge marketing wording on dye sub PBT kinda confused me. Hasn't it been like this all these time? Or has 660C been using ABS caps?I believe HHKB and RealForce are all dye sub so this emphasis is surprising to me.
Just picked mine up from EK (One of the perks of living 5 minutes away from the storefront )Show ImageShow ImageIt's my first Topre keyboard. Can't wait to try it out at work.

Can't wait to try it out at work.That's awesome, I am jealous!The original printed version was pad printed PBT, not lasered.Also, w/ regard to white model, my original production run Leo has white as an option on the box. So that may not mean much after all.
Somehow I feel grey caps on black case is not as attractive as black on black or white-grey on black. And I also think it's gonna be hard to match this colour with caps.
Yeah, in my opinion that was the only glaring weakness of the original FC660C. It was exacerbated by the lack of replacement options. The dyesub version, to me, is a monumental 60% release. Mine should arrive on Thursday and I am excited for it.
Sorry guys, I try to put my best... But this keyboard is really ugly. I mean, specs are very interesting but... Is ugly. Just can't understand the right empty space.
Just got the EK newsletter -- no mention of this keyboard -- odd!

I'm wondering how many FC660Cs even exist.

I too think the space on the right SHOULD have 2 extra keys (Page Up / Page Dn). Especially when marking text holding shift, you don't want to hold an Fn key also.But where do you guys see how much stock is left ? I don't see that.

Correct, add a large amount (100+) and hit Check Out.
As the description says on the item I'm pretty sure the space bar is still ABS. In that case I don't really need the legends so I'd rather take the blank version of this keyboard instead. I used to think that the HHKB looked a lot better than FC660C, but having owned both in the past I can say that I really like the sharp lines and angles of the FC660C. To me, the FC660C has a more adult look to it, while the HHKB is rather small and looks softer too. The new blank FC660C means business

The shipping to Australia kills it for me, are there any vendors with cheaper shipping to Australia?
