300-400 seems acceptable.

If you buy yourself overseas may cost like 500 range for a cherry 80-3494 lycus cherry mx red (that is after including shipping price)

Hey guys, just for some minor update.

Leopold is preparing to releasing another version of Full size Keyboard which will Features Cherry MX Red Switches.

I saw the sample this morning in meeting with one of the Leopold Employer. He showed me the sample as well as explaining a lot of things.

As for the Price tag of new Leopold Full size Keyboard that features Cherry MX Red Switch, i can't confirm the price tag, but it will be slightly expensive than the Tenkeyless version. but it's still around RM300~400 in between.

The product currently now is still a sample and being consider to release in 2011.

For news that Leopold that will comes to Malaysia, You guys might still have to wait.

Added : sorry, wrong id, was my friends Account, he didn't informed me that he change account.

@chuah

Yeah man i thought there were 2 of you

Anyway thats good news.


Cherry mx red is linear non tactile; very easy to actuate with it's soft spring.


So if your worried about black being too painful for typing; theres the red. but then again is red too soft ? A step up would be the brown that is less soft with a slight tactile bump

Well, consider if you buy a Cherry MX red, for RM300~400, it's a steal without shipping.

So i'm rather excited for the new product and hope to bring in Cherry MX Red to you guys, i myself planning to get one as well.

What a great news for Malaysian to get Cherry MX red, keep it on

when using the red switch, it's very hard for me to catch the actuation point of the keys, and it causes me to bottom up quite often, even though I've tried to not bottom up all the time lol
maybe because i'm into martial arts lol
I'm starting to think that cherry black switch will be better for me

When i meet him, i was quite surprise that he's holding a new Sample Keyboard. He tried to show me the Cherry MX switch, and when the keycaps taken off, i was , Wow, RARE Cherry MX RED

If Leopold going to release this soon, i`ll be glad that Malaysian will have the Choice to purchase Cherry MX Red Switch, Since it's rare throughout the whole market.

Most of us probably gonna bottoming out the key even when we're using red, It's just that Red will make your finger less fatigue when compare to you using Cherry MX Black.

i heard a friend of mine said that you can actually turn a black switch & blue switch into a red switch by switching the blue switch spring with the black switch spring.

is brown switches spring into black cherry mx

yes, if you wanted to do that, you need to open the Cherry MX switch and swap the springs, it's a troublesome step, and btw. repeat the step 104 times if you want to change all keys. And buying 2 sets just for changing to red? errr.. i don't thiink so..

Added: Info

If you're thinking about swapping, i think you should forget about it if you're buying Filco or Ducky, since they are not PCB Mounted. Filco is Steel plate mounted, while Ducky is Aluminium plate mounted.

u can just order the cherry mx spring itself. just the spring. which is way way cheaper.
the whole process of modding, probably wont be more then 3~4 hours.

well, that's will become a DIY keyboard.

But still, if there's a choice for you to get Cherry MX Red Keyboard directly, and much cheaper, would you still consider buying a alternative keyboard and mod it?

Omg, what a great news?

Please inform us when it come into Malaysia, I think I will get another new keyboard and 7G will be used together with lappy.

Waiting for MX red to come. Probably can improve WPM and APM. great

I think blue 1 is bit different you cant directly change it, but black to red i think possible.

Mechanical keyboard looks stupid, plain and feature less.
But once you lay your finger on it, it's guaranteed a one way ticket into the bottomless world of mechanical keyboard.

Typing from laptop now, missing my keyboard ><
I think brown is already a bit too soft to me, red would be out of the question I guess..

Played too much FORTE piece on piano? instead of PIANO xD

The softer it is the less force you need. Means for long period typing, MX red is really superb.
Imagine you doing research and preparing your final year project report. 150 pages. Show time for MX red.

but why red? wouldn't blue be more 'fun' to type in with the acknowledging takatakatakatakataka and the tactile snap.

Well, that's why there always a choice between multiple switches to let you choose which suits your taste. Not everyone like blue thou.
