Just received my Leopold from cyclonechuah yesterday. The keyboard is so awesome.
I bought the Red and Brown variant.


Accessories include USB to P/S 2 converter, USB cable and free fullset keycaps.


My thoughts about it:
It is my first mechanical keyboard and it feels very solid. No matter where or how hard I press it does not flex. When people said that it is heavy, I never thought it would be really heavy... nearly 2 kilos (can smack someone dead with it).
The spacebar is edges is not rounded so it feel weird when pressing it with my thumb during games but I will cope.
The LED lights for Num Lock, Scroll Lock and CapsLock is really blindingly bright if directly observed perpendicular to the keyboard.


However, since the keyboard is not perpendicular to my eyes when I'm using it, the LED is bright enough to be noticed but not distracting.


The gold plated detachable USB cable is also a plus for me.


The mini USB port at the back of the keyboard and the recessed area where you can route the USB cable left, right or center.


Currently I am using the Cherry MX Red. The brown I want to switch the keycaps with the blank ones so need to wait for the keycap puller to arrive to make the change.
I tested whether the keyboard can play o2jam via USB and evidently it can achieve at least 7KRO via USB. Though right now I am connecting the keyboard using the included P/S 2 converter.


Both keyboard on my desk. The top one is Cherry MX Red and the bottom is Cherry MX Brown.


Some other random pics that I took with my cheap digital camera. Some uses the flash and some did not.









P.S: Is it just me or the letters on the keyboard seems smaller than normal?

Can anyone tell me whether Filco colored WASD keycaps be used with Leopold?

Just changed my keycaps to blank ones. Now looks better.
Good thing that the windows key is not recessed coz if it does the looks will be ugly.

very gooding.. only comes with brown switch?
more excited for the Filco Ninja Italian Red... hope it comes with blue switch.

yes plox. bring also the blank colored modifier keys keycaps.


did not realize the legend on the Red Ninja led indicator is still there until you point it out. The Filco logo also not sure whether its Black Metallic like the original ones.
i dun know what they are doing...

i think i can live without the perfect clean look. just hope it comes with blue switch coz dying to try it...
already have red and brown. poison spread so fast.

At first the initial plan was just for gaming thus I bought the leopold red. But since my work involve lots of typing I also bought the brown switch to be used at work.
Now planning to get the filco blue for home.

you bring those clear switch my pocket maybe koyak again

LOL. Normally I'd say "Pic or didn't happen" but I guess I'll take your word for it.

I bet at first the robber thought a keyboard couldn't possibly hurt him. BAM! Head Shot, KO. After this, he probably trauma over keyboard.

Just the pic of the police report with your info censored. Gonna be one hella story. The police must be like "wtf? u hit a robber with a keyboard??"

Now, if ppl new into mechanical keyboard wanted to buy one and parents ask why so expensive, they can tell it's not only good for computer input but also self-defense.
Surely an investment well put...

Apparently the detachable macro keys is not mechanical. Disappoint.
Its a little on the big side but the looks is awesome.
