I'm waiting to grab one if reasonable price. Whether red or brown just depends which one arrive the first.

atleast a certain thickness will indicates they are not trying to cut cost or reduce anything that have effects over the keyboard's overall quality, that's how i sees a product. At least they are very picky on quality even as little as keycap's thickness, So.. in my view, their pickiness is good

from what i heard, the full version of Leopold Keyboard will be a little slightly expensive than the Leopold Tenkeyless, which will still be under RM400, but i still can't confirm the price.
But as he said The keyboard will only slightly expensive than the tenkeyless version because the full size keyboard are being manufactured at China which will have less labour cost compared to Taiwan.

And Keycaps molding will have a minor different between Tenkeyless(made in Taiwan) and Full size(made in China).
The differences would be the Top side of the keycap.
If you noticed, Tenkeyless Leopold Keyboard, the top side of the Keycap have a minor Cut Mark, because of the molding technique that the Taiwan manufacturer use.

But for the fullsize Leopold Keyboard, The keycap will be made by a different molding technique, the cut mark will be on the under edge of keycaps, so you won't be able to notice it easily as the tenkeyless version.

Actually me working in a plastic injection industry, I talked to my supplier about those material, they are actually super cheap material.. It's remarkable that the price they fetch, offcourse the niche market haha

What is the possibility of doing 1 mold and sell it off xD, but 1 mold cost usually 5 to 6 figure, with the injection costing as much as that too.

PBT, ABS, POM are all very cheap material, the more expensive one is PC(depend of type of it too, usually we use it for clear material, hehe your Myvi headlamp lens is injection in my factory)

So the mold itself is the reason that makes the caps more expensive...

Then 10keyless is how much then?? Roughly how much different?

tenkeyless, if i remembered last time they did mention RM335, but i think would be at this price or slightly cheaper.

Thou i can't confirm, i personally hope tenkeyless would be around RM300~330, and full keyboard to be around RM340~380. i can only say it won't be above RM400.
But currently can't get the exact pricing as they still didn't announce the price tag for fullsize keyboard. Because the keyboard is still in production.

Today i've received a e-mail which they inform me the keyboard production are being successful. So it's a matter of time that i will receive a sample as well as receive more information as well as pricing information.

just a question, why are people getting the tenkeyless over the full keyboard?

Portable + price factor?

10 keyless


Pros:

1. space saver on your desk. More room for your mouse to be positioned closer to the center.

2. portability less weight to carry around if your a lanner


Cons:

1. If you need numpad keys your screwed. However keyboards like the Topre 87U have a virtual numpad; however that keyboard is expensive.

cause i was thinking that u still need the numpad for typing and gaming alike...
so was wondering about it...
of course i am considering the tenkeyless thus the question...

I'm sure if you can live with a laptop keyboard, tenkeyless means the same thing

i cant lol...
for laptop i use external keyboard >.<

If less than RM400 then is nice. Do you think it bundled with any wrist rest??

If you have more than enough space and use numpad quite frequently then no point to get 10keyless keyboard.

hmmm true...
willget the full one then when its here

Consider ducky =） good keyboard

Yes, i have to agree that ducky has very good keyboard. i mean the Ducky DK-9008.

I've talk to Leopold, and they expressed some interest and will study the product and add it's feature in future keyboard.

I know ducky is good, but my first factor to consider is the availability. If Ducky come into Malaysia in 2012, I also will wait for it.
So now better do fundraising for Leopold first.
