There's only 1 kaiserreich in Malaysia 
Due to the construction of the Poker, and the screw holes distribution, there are some rattling of the PCB going on in the top row. However, putting some foam, or my case, some bubble wrap underneath the PCB could minimize the rattling. Otherwise, it feels as good as the Filco.

Does Keycool 87 comes in black colour enclosure?

It cost around RM200, and around another RM20 for the shipping(2kg). You can probably get more things together with it at the same time to make full use of the 2kg(at least can include a set of keycaps).

Check my review of it in GH:
TLDR: A good keyboard, will be a even better board if it fixed the alignment problems(should had be fixed by now).

If you want to be safe, hold longer and add a little more for the coming backlit version. It isn't shown/reported with alignment problems, somemore reselling backlit keyboard in Malaysia is far easier than selling Mech KB, true story...

I don't have one, but I doubt it can beat the CM storm rapid quality.

I don't have CM Storm, but I doubt the rigidity of it's case can be as good Keycool. Keycool's case rigidity is seriously high and unrivaled, LOL.

As you already spend so much time look and seek for keyboard, it won't hurt if wait for a little longer, right?

BTW, it normally will reach the agent's warehouse within 1-2days after order being placed (using 顺丰快递). And it will reach Malaysia in another 1-2days(if don't met with weekend or long holidays...). And after reached Malaysia, it should reach you in another 1-2days(unless the items being hold by custom at airport).

Just to further clarify, Leopold's FC200R is using different standard for spacebar than FC500R and FC700R. Leopold FC200R actually can use those universal spacebar made by KBC.

Keycool is actually FC700R's copy, but using different stabiliser.

Rigidity wise, MAYBE(I don't own FILCO, so can't conclude). Cause some ppl are reporting that their FILCO actually flexed/bent and not perfectly flat, and they had to twist it to fix it everytime. That should mean the rigidity of Filco's case may not be too high.

Brah, you are consfused here.

FC200R using standard OEM/aftermart compatible spacebar standard, and that is an advantage there.
You can still get those KC's full blank key but using the default FC200R's spacebar, they both black in color, you won't notice any different.
Somemore with standard spacebar, you are easier to find other full set keycaps such as PBT and so on.

Yar, actually FC200R's spacebar is still different from FILCO's and Ducky's and other OEM. But most replacement spacebar made out there(mostly by KBC) are such standard in picture below, to be compatible with both.


The one on Leopold 500/700 and Keycool are something even more different from the 2 above.
EXTRA:
BTW guys, is there an update for Leopold FC700R at their official site in Korea? It is now 3models each instead of 2 in last time?

Side sidenote, FILCO AI in TKL and Korea Layout anyone?
http://www.leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/item.php&it_id=1319427989

TKL or Fullsize?
TKL:11,800yen
Fullsize: 12,800yen

p/s: Wah, thats a serious expensive price, even higher than the previous Filco R?
Seems like other switches variant also cost the same, may be the SRP in Japan is really high... If so may be you can wait for local set. Our local Filco TKL should cost around RM380.

Or Daijoubu can order straight from Diatec.
I can't read japanese much, but ordering straight should be doable?

edit: Ready to pre order from elsewhere too.

Front right.

It's a non issue for me. 1 Piece of paper makes it good.
It might be an isolated case, but then again, I only have 1 Realforce.

1. Request seller to test it out before shipping. For Keycool, I think the seller should be kind enough, but I don't know
2. Yes, they are compatible.

Yup, aftermart spacebar from KBC is universal for Leopold and Filco.

KBC is a keyboard community(now they are actually a brand/company) in China. And yup, they are among the major aftermart keycap manufacturer not only in China but also western countries(reseller import from KBC and sell it in eBay). In fact, the market for pbt keycaps are pretty much monopolized by them.

For keycool keyboard/accessories(keycaps and so on), you can try keycool.taobao.com(the official site for Keycool). Other also recommended seller are 80外设(free 顺风快递 for Keycool keyboard) and 菜青虫(aka 虫哥, a reputable seller).

For abs keycaps, the one by Keycool is quite good to type on actually, just don't plug and unplug it too often(the keycap will become worn and loose by doing so).

try ask kai, the 1st poster in this page. He is running a test use mech kb program.

If you insist on a "gaming" board, then try CM Storm Trigger.
