element14 has MX clears, Blacks and Blues.
Only the black is affordable, as to the other switches, if you aren't desperate for one, it is rather expensive to buy one

Leopolds finally shipped from korea?

These keys wont fit
|\
Enter
left shift
CapsLock

Not sure about the spacebar

Looks like a Dell AT101(W?) from the keycaps.
They only made it in ALPS huh? Gotta get some blue ALPS to fit the status

@kianweic

Don't like tenkeyless board for the brown?

EDIT: Found some Noppoos black and blues for sale at GS.

Go get a set on put on your FILCO too!!!
Too bad the keys get pretty dirty and you can tell, but not from the picture obviously.

Probably mods don't like this type of one lining? I don't know.
You already have 2 Blues from Razer, not enough?

Yes it does.
Howevever, since the key texture differ with pbt, i leave those in storage now

EDIT:

Who is getting these? The RGB key caps, not the poker

Lavendar keycaps are from Taobao
The blanks are stock from Ducky sets. Bought the non printed version.
Suggest you buy some PBT blanks instead since my ABS keycaps are shining. Space bar is SHINY.

From PCHOME, current out of stock for browns.. Alternatively you can contact smallwalrus at VR-Zone, or contact the seller from inpad

1.3kg Tenkeyless board
NT$300 for E-Parcel
NT$700 for EMS

Fast fast start sales thread or promo thread and add pictures!!!!
(Cause Mods don't like people promote sales here)

Btw, any news on ALPS DK1087XM ?

Don't buy 1008L unless you really like BIG ASS Enter Keys and shorter left shift.
Build quality for the DK9008>DK1008, but key feel should be almost similar

I think it is Leopold and SS having same manufacturer due to that odd placement of the spacebar.

I have a Ducky and a FILCO, and I can say FILCO's build quality is better. It feels much solid, and it does not have odd QC issues like the Ducky I have with different colored blue LED lights. However, FILCO's keycaps are bad quality, so they shine pretty easily, so I put a set of PBT on it.

Tried out MX browns on a Ducky and a FILCO. Due to different construction, Aluminium plate vs Steel Plate, they sound different, but in in term of key feel, they are similar.

If both are same price, then I'd get a FILCO

The letters on PBT Ducky don't age well. They get dirty after a while.
If you're getting an engraved set, then that's a different story.

Clear switch are capacitive type instead of Cherry MX
But it uses the same keycaps as Cherry MX.

Reviews of it is not spectacular, and it feels like domes.

I made rank 150+ at 85wpm on my model m, but my fingers got really tired after a while

Can you remind me how much are the keyboards again?

No news on the ALPS duckies?

Not better, but definitely cheaper.

NT$1000, added some margin which makes it RM130 - RM160 ish~ which is within range of a lot of people to get a Mechanical Keyboard. Just take a look at how much people are willing to pay for a Gaming keyboard and that might give a clue.

If ducky allows at least ps/2 NKRO for their ALPS line, that would sell. But then, it wouldn't hurt to see how these do in Taiwan before deciding to bring it in or not.

But don't take my word for it, there's more research that needs to be done on this definitely.

Thats about it, I think
Probably with a LIMITED printed on the box like the Linear R

I like the FILCO stabilizer because of the springiness of it, makes it nicer to type on.

However, if you are considering alternatives:

Local alternatives are:
Leopold FC500R, not here yet

Foreign alternatives
FILCO Linear R 87-key version
Cherry G80-3494
Cherry G80-1865
KBC Cherry G80-3496
KBC POKER
PLU87
PLUM
Noppoo Choc Mini/Pro
DUCKY DK1087
DUCKY DK9000G2
DUCKY DK9008G2

That's about it I guess
