buying through agent is less hassle.

Just curious.. and for me to get ready to buy from there..
will buy the new mkb, keycool 87 or 104, with:

white body,
white keycaps,
brown/blue/red switch..

maybe i'll ask some questions regarding that later, becoz me can't read chinese..

like i said before, use Google Chrome and when u go to taobao page, it will prompt u with a question asking if u want to translate the page into English.
and then u click always translate Chinese (Simplified Hans) and then the whole taobao becomes readable to u.

I thought I had given the link to you ytd?

yeah, tried last and i became quite weird, like "tea, shaft" and stuff.. hehe

Both 84, 87 and 108 version of keycool got white case, but only for non-backlit version. Their backlit version only got black case.

they also got 104 one?

tea shaft = brown switch
red axis = red switch
green shaft/axis = blue switch
black shaft = black

quite self explanatory

104 also got,

But I must be honest to you that I hadn't heard much about this 104 before, so I can't comment much about it's quality. The 87 is still a safer (and a tad cheaper) bet.

Here is an image uploaded by a buyer,

for "green", i thought it is really green switch..
and "tea", i donno what to make of it.. haha
i really thought that there's no blue one.. hehe..

so maybe, the quality for 87 and 104 not the same?

due to translation issue.
first page got guide in chinese word. just see the pattern lah haha!

normal tea colour is brown right?

No idea. For 87, it is already proven a solid board. That 104 is sort of a new thing, + a fullsize layout board isn't what most ppl here will buy, so no much being documented bout it.

Though, official claimed that the 104 is more refined though.

So it is your bet whether to take the gamble or not.

having one fullsize keyboard is enough
2 is a waste unless it's for collection purpose.

+1, also if want white fullsize, I will wait for the ComingSoonTM iKBC F-104 white version. Rumored for months already, till now still no idea when will out, LOL.

I think it's on taobao or tmall ady, but pre-order.
Seems still bundle with free white ds pbt http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....&id=20280818086
