okay, after some try with Cherry MX Red from Leopold FC500 in gaming and typing. i could say i'm quite happy right now.

but it was quite pain in the ass to learn to type lighter compare to Cherry MX Black that i'm used to.
because it was noisy as hell as i use excessive force to type the keyboard. resulting all key to bottoming.

Btw, i realize this keyboard is more easier to double tab compared to black because key need less force to press compare to cherry mx black.

But do note the might be too light for certain people's taste, the switch weight is similar to cherry MX blue but due to the fact it doesn't have a clicky and a bump. it will result a "Too easy to typo"

Key are very very easy to type on, just that, you might annoyed when you started to use this keyboard.
1st require less force to type compare to the keyboard that you use previously which may make you typo like fag.
2nd Noisy with the clack clack clack sound as you first tried the keyboard and used too much force to press.

For anyone here, if you want to add your name and your keyboard to the mechanical keyboard user list, please send me a pm on what keyboard that you're using.

i believe the problem would be the pricing.



What material they use? double shot?
Based $40 USD for 78 Key, not yet adding ctrl, alt, shift, and numbpad AND Arrow Key.

if full 104 key set.. (cheapest if 50 order fufiled)
40 + 9 + 7 + 15.50 = 71.5 USD conversion to MYR = RM214.5 (shipping not included)

what if only 30 people ordering?
40+15+10+21.50 = 86.5 USD conversion to MYR = RM259.5 (shipping not included)

no offense but i shitbrick when i saw the price.

the problem is left with the optional choice of both version, those optional choice won't fulfill the 50 order, even total is 33 order, it's possible half of them going A and half of them going B, which led to higher price. since you need to remember only one of the order reaching 50 will then have discount for that certain order, Example A reach 50 order, then A price lowered.

i don't understand

thanks alot for everyone to provide support to newbies here and keeping this thread active, and someone too that helps me to inform leopold is coming, got my hands full this few day. quite busy at a moment.

well, i can't say much because i distribute Leopold, saying stuff wouldn't justify anything. >_<

For quality wise, i think Leopold are better, but for feature wise, ducky is still the winner here as it has multimedia key and FN key, and support for mac and linux as it could change key position.(i love my DK-9008 T_T but quality not good, sob)

Leopold still have full keyboard and a tenkeyless model,

Full keyboard has Black, Brown, Red. ( Blue not yet available, quality under inspection in manufacturer)

Tenkeyless keyboard has black, brow, blue. ( Red not yet available )

for Leopold space problem, i am proposing a fix to it,. hopefully the new keyboard they release will be able to fit filco space bar.

well, some correction,, they don't represent Leopold or as a leopold distro, they are just organizing a MO. =/

and also, they doesn't have ready stock, currently now, they are still under nego with leopold. btw their price? well, i don't have any comment, since they set and sell this price themselves.

the keyboard looks sexy, ninja keyboard looks quite neat if you ask me.

you interested in them?

wow, looks like the thread is getting more and more popular, btw i just receive my white Engraved PBT keycaps from taobao. pain in the ass with the glue.

i spent 5 hours, sanding, cleaning, recheck, sanding, rinsing with soap, and done. sanding one per one key over 104 key is really a nightmare.

got no camera now =( , tomorrow i'll grab a camera and have some picture of it and post here =X

For Full keyboard, if from what i read from Leopold HQ sent me, Blue is currently unavailable, but Brown, Black, Red will be available, so, currently now, i'm planning to bring those first.

Is there any needs for Tenkeyless? if there's none, i'll focus on full keyboard first, then Tenkeyless i think for 2nd batch.

those kits are 300$ ~ 400$ USD for casing alone, without cherry MX Switch and Board.

This is another expensive hobby if you wanted to get them, (still better than DSLR Camera =X)

that is also why topre real force keyboard are expensive, they are expensive for a reason.

they existed, they cost around RM1xx~2xx for keycaps alone.

here are some of the pictures of my keyboard, apologize for not putting entirely PBT thou, just some color to help me type at night with totally dark enviroment, Only space bar can't be fit.

i have white pbt keycaps here so i just some tried on the keycap, the key texture is good and smooth(abit more slippery feel if compare to ABS plastic).

Search PBT keycap or Polybutylene terephthalate .

PBT is resistant to solvents, shrinks very little during forming, is mechanically strong, heat-resistant up to 150°C (or 200°C with glass-fibre reinforcement) and can be treated with flame retardants to make it noncombustible. (Taken from Wiki)

they need UV protection i think, since what i read from moogle chat with those people in vr-zone.

they are most like UV coating against sunlight. yes, and more durable.

Guys, some bad news here.

Leopold goods will not be arriving in May, facing some logistic problems(Actually finding a cheaper Logistic), need to push back to June.

My brain juice gonna blown up already, these keyboard is so heavy, having them Air shipped cost BOMB.(i was wondering if shipping in big quantities will have a cheaper price. but i was wrong)
