Ring type are awful. They scratch your keys if you are not careful. I've pulled out a switch top with Ring type before.
Wire type are better, no issues with it.

They are TITANIUM, not stainless steel.

the CM keyboard pricing is out:

http://www.inpad.com.tw/goods.php?act=view&no=4796

good price

some review i found
http://www.iqmore.idv.tw/cm-storm-quick-fi...eview#more-1139

like others, 6kro under USB, nkro under PS/2 but lower price. considerable lol

But its consider expensive if compare with ducky. With that price, you can get Dk9000G2.

Great price indeed.
Even better price that the ducky without a top cover design.

If these are costar made, then it's a friggin good deal.
Too bad only chinese letterings. Hopefully the keyboard that is brought in won't be at inflated prices.

don't really like small kb design prefer standard 104 key

Same.

I must have the numpad for work and for normal usage.

Haha I thought I am the only one, I see most people use HHKB with no prob.. I would die without the numpad keys.. It's even my MMO keybinds at times

Mind linking me a wire type on taobao if you don't mind.

as replied by Human10

I got a taste of Leopold FC500R, ALL THANKS TO SUPERMINT from VR-Forums









Pros:
- Solid build quality that can rival the almighty Filco
- Uses Cherry Stabilizer which makes it easy for keycaps changes
- Very good and grippy rubber feet
- Well-designed and implemented cable system

Neutral:
- Cherry Stabilizer changes the feel of the MX switch
- The LED cover is just a sticker (some will feel it's the classic styling but others will feel it's cheap)

Cons:
- Lasered keycaps which will stain and discolour like the Steelseries keyboards
- The height-raising feet strangely do not have rubber feet

Rating : (8/10)

Leopold clearly deserves to the High-End Mechanical Keyboard sticker.

how much this leo cost?

@Squarebox

Wondering what camera u used to capture those shots.. Amazingly Bokeh xD

I like how the leopald looks, no joke and minimalist, not like those keyboard with waste edge space

Thats how Ducky/FILCO/CM storm/PLU/Noppoo/POKER etc are designed
@ squarebox, is this going to feature in your collection or just a 'review' unit?

I think most of the camera available in the market able to do it, minus the pns camera, at least micro 4/3 above.

Even my iPhone 4 able to do bokeh shots, just not so creamier as Squarebox's shots.

Edit: Hey Squarebox, do the larger keys (ie spacebar, backspace etc) creak/squeak when you press them?
