As for what i'm being told by them, this is their retail price, so from what i view at, if Leopold did set a retail system at malaysia, we should be purchasing the keyboard straight without any shipping cost.(just my own thinking and conclusion)

Btw, i just received the keyboard and currently using it, will post picture soon.

I do have to agree with clickclack and sixty, the key is indeed thicker. i was quite surprised with the thickness. Because i didn't realize the difference in thickness is so easily noticeable when put side by side comparison, i'll picture them soon with a ruler beside.

cant really give you the answer for that.
but the different tone. different pitch.
that's all.

eh i can use cyber clean to clean my BW Ult right?

u mean microfiber cloth like those used to clean camera lenses or spectacle lenses? then i rather use cyberclean to clean my PC dust

A blower should be better? no? followed by vacuum action

Hello, Guys. Here are some of the preview Picture of the Actual Product Leopold  FC200R Tenkeyless Version. I apologize for my lacking skill on photography, i think some of my photos are bad. =/ 
I will post more pictures soon for comparison between Steelseries 7G and Ducky DK9008 Black On Black Keycaps.

I believe Leopold will only included one Orange Leopold Keycap Doubleshot where the other 4 doubleshot keycaps are not included.

But i will be meeting a Leopold Employee Tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur to have further discussion. If it's possible, i`ll try to bring in Leopold Leopold Keyboard to Malaysia. So you guys can get for a cheap price 

There's still alot need to be discuss with them. i'll try to post more information once after i have a discussion with Leopold.
Actually, This keyboard was a sample sent by Leopold from DHL, There's no way to purchase the keyboard for now because Leopold doesn't accept Paypal or Credit Card.

But i may try to bring this keyboard to Malaysia.
Yeah, sorry about the flash effect, The room that i taken picture is kinda dark, so it is required to have flash. And also because of my Crappy Photographing skill 

I'll post a side by side comparison picture once i get back to home(Taiping) where my Steelseries 7G and Ducky DK9008 is.

For a target price between 3xx-4xx i think that would be perfect.

Thats the pricing slightly the same as a Razer Black Widow; and cheaper than a Steel Series 7G.
The thing is Chuah; how many Malaysians are willing to fork out that much for a keyboard ? They might not know the difference between a mechanical and rubberdome.
I think sp made those key caps. I got some sp doubleshots with me; they look exactly like those Leopolds.

the thing is, Malaysia need a better government, malaysia need a minimum wages Law.
so more people can afford the keyboard even their OWN LIFE.
Malaysia situation. I realize after i moved to US.

watch this and you will know what i mean

does the bw come with a manual ?

Kinda hard

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.

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.

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

Hmm.. i think you're taking it the wrong way.

since what you says "wouldn't blue be more 'fun' to type in with the acknowledging takatakatakatakataka and the tactile snap."

Not everyone would prefer clicky sound and tactile bump feeling. you should have some try on some demo unit. since they do not sound like takatakatakataka
There's also people prefer to have a quieter keyboard, black, brown, red would be a alternative choices, because sometimes, we do might use the keyboard at midnight or next to a person, and Blue switch clicky sound might be sound pleasant towards the keyboard user, but not the person around the keyboard user.
As for tactile bump, it is something like a helpful feature for those that prefer to touch typing a keyboard, because they don't always bottoming out the key, and wanted to improve on touch typing.

I think Blue is more of a typist keyboard, since the switch require less force to press on, and has a tactile bump(to let you feel when the key is being pressed),  it's a perfect keyboard for touch typing, especially for those typist that do type really fast with touch typing.

As for my, i use mechanical keyboard frequently, and types about 100wpm(words per minute), and myself doesn't like tactile bump thou. i frequently use Black, if Red is available,  i`ll happy to switch to Red switch.

Btw, here's a Mechanical Keyboard Guide.

Hi, I'm trying to buy a Cherry Brown keyboard in KL. I've been looking through this thread and was wondering if this is available yet and where I might find it.
If you're not the seller who should I contact?

I was in Lowyat and Digital Mall and didn't see anybody selling any mechanicals other than Razer/Steelseries.

Wow! A mechanical keyboard thread! Awesome!

I have the following mechanical keyboard:

1. Filco Zero (Fukka switches).
2. IBM Model M (1988).
3. Unicomp SpaceSaver.

I'll post some photos later on.

Tried, 9KRO for the max.  ( awef spacebar jio; )

wao . you sure are fast 

hey moggle, just for updating, the fullsize keyboard might develope in futher to have media key as well as windows lock key, but it's not confirm yet because they currently are in discussion.

To much of my surprise, for Leopold Keycap quality, it is very very siiliar to Steelseries 7G, as it's from the same manufacturer.

i had try my friends 6Gv2, the keycaps are indeed thinner than 7G.

Both 7G and Leopold FC200R keycaps has the same thickness. Leopold seems to be using a new laser imprinting mephod. And one important thing would be lettering does not become yellow like my 7G.

As for ducky, I've tried multiple keys comparison and found out that Ducky Keycaps certain keys does not have the same thickness as other keycaps.

For comparison on Ducky Keycaps, pull out your ESC and your ASDW Keycaps and compare, ESC are somewhat more thin.

i'm sorry? i dont really get what you're trying to say

All this will be solved if you use blank letter keycaps lol!

The only thing that I can't get used to using blank keycaps in the top 1-9/0 row. Somehow never managed to memorize their locations.

This.

Not sure why it's not a hit on Amazon.

is there any filco seller in malaysia?

Most keyboards are 2KRO. Meaning only 2 keys can press same time. If you try to press a 3rd or more, it won't register.

6KRO also isn't sufficient because O2jam uses 7 keys, sdfghj.
NKRO means there is no key roll over. Meaning you can press as many as you want and it will register.

NKRO isn't necessary a mechanical keyboard feature. As i understand it, Microsoft's sidewinder keyboard may be NKRO i think although it's a rubber dome.
Anyway  6KRO should be sufficient for 99% of games out there, except o2jam and games like it that require 7 or more simultaneous key presses.

If your keyboard supports NKRO, it can be done by using the PS2 adapter.

Well not necessarily.

Example the Topre is NKRO but it doesn't support USB to PS2 adapter.

So only their PS2 models NKRO actually work.
Same for Deck legend, they cannot use USB to PS2 adapter for NKRO. If you want NKRO for their keyboard, you have to get the PS2 version.
Ducky/Filco/Leopold support usb to PS2 adapter NKRO

My notebook(built in) kb + my logitech(low end USB one ) kb can easily achieve 9+KRO on near alphabets, where by the main limiting factors are the notebook kb itself is less than 3KRO .
