I went to surf VR-Zone for a bit and found out the Leopolds cost 179 SGD.
Only Cyclone knows how much the Distro at our neighbouring country is making

Edit: just realize 179 SGD is RRP, @squarebox, how much are they going for. actually?

They are sold at 169 SGD at the recent IT fair but it cost 179 SGD to buy from retail shops.
As mentioned before, things are generally more expensive in Singapore even thought we dont need any shipping or postage.
Distro here are very very greedy...

Oh... thanks for the answer cyclone, was trying to confirm it so that i didnt make any mistake when i buy keycaps

When I visit funan, the price listed for peripheral is rather slightly expensive than Malaysia counterpart, I think mainly due to the 7% GST.

Oh ya, the Leopald doesn't work with MACs

My WPM dropped a lot with the red switch > <

Sky.Live, you bought 2 mech keyboard in one week, isnt that abit "uh!!!" to your wallet?
I was wondering why you get 2 same but different color Ducky, i thought your white one is the Year of Rabbit L.E. version....

haha cant manage to source rabbit, any it don't work over MAC (usually those who can do a lot of KRO over USB don't work over MAC)

P/S: Mechanical Keyboard is relatively cheap to compare than gaming peripheral which don't last and got replaced real fast.

I would buy one more keyboard I guess, a Filco Blue switch this time xD. But not in a short while

Only switch not interested is black

Oh.... you using MAC?
Wa... on a "shopping spree"?? Collecting mech keyboard with different switches and with different brand...


+1 on that, most of the time, the best gaming peripheral may not even be a gaming peripheral
If a rubberdome gaming keyboard cost > 200, i would definitely choose a mech keyboard (since i dont use the macros or media keys) If not, i feel abit "unsatisfied" because i would think "hey i pay so much and it is still a rubberdome?!"

Wow, to my suprise, you didn't have any Blue switch in your collection?


Refer to bottom

For this, i can't confirm thou, because Singapore branch might be using a much more expensive shipping, thus hiking up the price, But i cannot remove the fact that certain people are greedy.(maybe me? =X )

No problem.

Thanks for confirming that Leopold don't work for MACs, i am currently suggesting Leopold keyboard have multi OS support in future and hope for that to happen. AND MULTIMEDIA KEY!!.

my G100 NKRO test

I only have some blue switches on my custom G80-11900.

I'm not a fan of Blue switches as I dislike double-action feel.
If I wanted tactile and clicky switches, I will go for Alps.

Dark brown keys = keys that are pressed.
Yellow keys = keys are tested to be working.
Tan keys = untested keys.

Test result should look more like this:

Leopold FC500R results

Don't think Leopolds will cost RM345 anymore in the 2nd and 3rd batches (if Cyclone exclusively distributes to retail shops) though....

So grab it as fast as possible.

From Cyclone himself.

Actually it's stated on the box, I haven't really tested it yet

MACに非対応 something, cant remember the full word

It works on Linux tho, I have tested them and work flawlessly

Just an opinion that resellers are businessmen too, that's all. Would love for them to cost the same or marginally higher in the future though (because I may be a return customer :S).

around the budget of 80usd lo, same w razer bw stealth

At that budget you can maybe only stock at BW Stealth...
