Wow, the options for FC200R at EK is astounding.
@cyclone, which one will you be bringing in, can't at least give us some teaser?
*
which one will you guys prefer? Black Tenkeyless or White Tenkeyless? the list will be similar to EK.

i thinking about bringing Black or White, there's too many option, i can't just bring them all, especially with 5 types of Switches, and Black or White Option, that's like Ten Types of Tenkeyless!.

I can see MX Blacks/Blues, being not very popular with your sales
Assuming that the costing is the same for all types of the options, I suggest you do a pre-order for all types of the keyboards, then you can just bring in the correct amount for those.
For those that did not pre-order, then you can stick with one color and the key switches that is most popular or something?

This is just my 2 sen, no experience in business, so do take it with a grain of salt.

That the ratio of 1:1:2:2:5(or higher) for black:clear:red:blue:brown
Brown currently less competitor in Malaysia, so it is still quite easy to sell off. Blue didn't sell well probably cz of the bling bling king - Razer BW.
The black and white only need small amount to make them more unique and to meet the small portion of demand(less ppl like the stiffness of black and white but some DO).
*
well, yeah, i do keep that in mind, but currently in confusion upon the casing. color, Black or White.

For FC200, i won't be bringing them in.

@kaiserreich, i not sure if you know it or not, but as i said there are new version of Tenkeyless which will be coming now, which is not listed in EK yet. the Model number are FC600 or FC700, which EK is not selling, expecting them to release in November.

Will these new TKL series FC600/FC700 come in clear switches as well then?

And I assume you will be bringing these new version of tenkeyless instead of older tenkeyless.

Yes, i am able to custom order it depends on availability.

Cherry G80-3800

Seems to be China exclusive at the moment based on hearsay from Chinese message boards
Comes with Cherry MX Blues, Brown, Black and Red

PCB mounted. The keycaps appears to have the same profile as most of the Cherry Corp Keycaps.
Price is at 399 RMB or 63USD.

the keycap are flat profile, i received the pdf file for the keyboard long time ago, but not allowed to release to public. i can see this to be more popular with blue and black to do low profile keycap. very ideal for touch typist.

Oh my i hate flat design... don't think you get to fully taste the switches then, since the bump not so deep already.
*
it remains the same, they raise the keyboard casing height, for the keycap, take your keycap, think of the 1/2 top part is keycap flat profile, while the 1/2 below is extra part.

it will not affect the 4mm distance travel or changing the switch, all are the same except keyboard casing height as well as different keycap design.

I know but you can see that the keycaps height different is so close. If we want to press down a key fully to 4mm, we may pressed the keys below or near it too.
Though, it depend on your hand typing style.
*
yes, i have to agree about this part, i kinda worried that the Keycap may conflict each other in the process of typing, since they are very close to each other. But either way, the way to confirm is to become a guiney pig. who wants to try? LOL

Hey, can anyone able to clarify me that, if i were to order blank keys set from wasdkeyboards.com to replace my Filco blanks, do i still need to buy any extra stabilizer? Because i heard from lucidlts that it might comes with cherry stabilizer instead of costar stabilizer.
*
comes with cherry stabilizer? cherry stabilizer parts are stationary and not removable.

If you're changing Space or Shift or any larger size keycap. you have to remove the Costar stabilizer from keycap and fit the Costar Stabilizer to the new keycap and you wanted to fit into the keyboard.

Cherry Stabilizer keyboard, swapping large keycap only requires removing the keycap and fitting the new one.

Costar Stabilizer keyboard, swapping large keycap requires you go swap the parts from old keycap to new one for fitting into Costar Stabilizer.

Cyclone, i think your explanation abit confusing...
How about this? That white thing is not the stabilizers, the Costar Stabilizer is the wire thing which WASDkeyboard calls Cherry MX Stabilizer Spring and the white color one for you to hook the Costar Stabilizer Spring to the key is called Cherry MX Keycap Stabilizers, or so by WASDkeyboard.

Well, sorry for my poor explanation lol, Squarebox has kindly posted a video for easier understanding. the parts i mention for Costar Stabilizer are the pins that Squarebox mention.

Singapore selling them for
Brown and Black - SGD129
Red - SGD139

The best part is 3 years local warranty.

Wow, 3 years local warranty? pardon me, i would want to ask, is it the 3 year cover by part and labor ? or was it Launch Promo that offers extended warranties? since i did see "Launch Promo" on vr-zone thread.

Btw, the keyboard looks really nice, i love the red plating. i've been always thinking about getting a red plate keyboard.

Topre KB is ~1K...

Is it really necessary??

i think kianweic purchase a fullsize keyboard which is much more cheaper than the 87U version. Fullsize keyboard price are around RM800.

These keyboard are one of the highest end keyboard, Keycaps are PBT, Printing method are Dye sublimated, while it uses Capacitive Sensor which is entirely another league.

I am very curious to find out whether Topre Realforce is quieter than Cherry MX brown switch or louder.

I shall find out once I get my keyboard next week.

They are abit louder from what i heard from users, unless you purchase the "Low Noise" version.

Oh ok.

There was only 3 options:

UB Black

UB White

and UB Black (55g) <= is this the silent version?
*
Nope, For additional knowledge for realforce, Normal Realforce Keyboard standard are multiple weight, ESC is 55g, WERSDFXCV are 45g, and there's 35/30g, and so on. lighter switch for your little finger and harder switch on thumb finger, it's a standard that optimize on human hand, for 55g, it is flat 55g, which means all switch will have the same actuation weight 55g.

Edited : Added Pictures

Below are one of the realforce standard key switch actuation layout.

For FPS Gaming , which Cherry switches prefered?

Ouh and silent key strokes would be a good feature for me.

i would recommend going for Brown or Red. Since Storm did bring brown and red together, i would suggest you try to feel which one is suitable for you.

So meaning the "normal" Topre are of "variable weights" and the 55g is "uniform weights"???
Well, my demo unit is coming and i can test it soon.

and yes, normal Topre are variable weights and the 55g is uniform weight.

Yes, blank keycaps still available. =D

Btw, you guys interested in the O-ring thing? perhaps i can get some from elitekeyboards.com to test it out.

O-ring as damper? it's damn cheap in Malaysia.. Just walk to any hardware seal shop and buy cost 45cents each i think
*
If you want to based on comparison, price based, i don't think it's damn cheap anyway.

45cents x 104 = RM46.80

Elitekeyboards.com Ring Softlanding Pad 120 piece = 12 USD

12 USD x 3.2 = RM38.40

Well, if shipping fee is removed, i think softlanding pad are worth much more.

But based on your digit 45cent per piece, which is a rough digit... maybe got 30cents? tongue.gif tongue.gif , hmm.... hmm.gif hmm.gif
