i just exchange my BWU 1-to-1 with the retailer , the new one no longer collides with the other keys =P. It feels a lot different without worrying the alt key being pressed unintentionally ".

Well, i heard Blank 104 Keycaps are included with the purchase of FC300R/FC500R in Korea.(It is possibly because of the sales promotion that they FOC Blank Keycaps. Limited In Korea)

Sorry, As for now i'm currently quite busy with the Leopold Keyboard Import, so KBC Keycaps have to wait.

none of the above is double shot. those high cost Keycaps are consider quite rare and expensive.

The first link you given, if i'm not mistaken, it is Laser Etched + Pad Printed with Coating.

The second link is just Laser Etched,

Lol, you seems to crazy about that small size double shot keyboard xD

Thanks, Updating the list.

Besure to post some picture and unboxing when it comes, i'm quite excited to see this sexy keyboard.

@Cyclonechuah
when you will bulk the aluminium keycaps?

kbc 白同刻or黑同刻 pbt keycaps price rmb150 and rmb 185, is it worth?

Hmm...With laser etched is better I guess?
Can those key caps last long (the letters wont be teared off easily, 'cause my hands are sweaty)?
BTW, the leopold red you bringing in is what kind of keycap?

still waiting for reply from that korean. might be long time thou.

because i might think about getting a sandblast unit before getting those metal key caps, if it shipped here, and i found some flaws, i'll sandblast them myself.


rockccf, i can't confirm which one last longer, because good quality pad printed sometimes can last longer than laser etch provided if pad printed have coating.

But if Laser etched has coating as well, then laser will last longer.(But the problem is, not many Laser Etched Key has coating)

So Laser Etched still last longer than pad printed. But Laser Etched tends to have one flaw, that is it will change it's white color a tiny little bit to yellow, because of your sweat and skin waste.

Leopold Red is Laser etched, i heard Leopold is developing new type of key caps, so i'm looking forward to it LOL.

Okay, i take my words back, Key caps with coating doesn't last long NOW.
Reason is on this page.

And btw, for people that worrying about Leopold Warranty issue, I provide warranty for it.

I bringing Leopold into Malaysia not as a Mass Order Organizer, but as a Distributor. =_=

Yes, they have 4 types of them. currently now, i still waiting for answers from them.

if you're really interested in Filco, please wait until Edifier got them, and then wait for the price announcement for Filco product.

Edifier do provide warranty for them right ?

using Blackwidow Expert. No problem here.

Iphone4lover showed some tips to overcome this problem in previous thread.

1. Click all keys one by one slowly and notice if there is any keys stuck or click differently than others. For example, some keys is semi-faulty and produce a ''thud'' sound instead of ''tick''.

2. Press down your Spacebar and see if it will drag the Alt/X keys beside down too. This is a well known built flaw for BWE/U. If you face it, remove the spacebar and clean off some extra plastic which cause the overlapping.

Not, really unless the keyboard are in stock clearance state, then you'll see it sells cheaper.

if you see the retail price of the keyboard posted on their official website, you can noticed. and for Clevery Store, i know about them.

For HHKB, they have multiple versions and each version are kinda similar to each other you need to take a good look for notice the difference since the version have a big price difference.
