Very nice price. Why do you care for warranty anyway? You burn it asap!

ripster · 03 Mar 2011, 20:26

Very nice price. Somebody send this to Bruce at The Keyboard Company.

I guess the price after pre-orders will be something around $109 or something like that. Judging this entirely only on the last special sales that Brian did.

Nice price! No black switches? cmon...

how much will be shipping to EU? 20 - 30 $?

artee · 04 Mar 2011, 14:25

ok... seems like $ 45

rouston · 04 Mar 2011, 14:26

is Leopold a good brand? seems a bit less quality than FIlco.

daedalus · 04 Mar 2011, 14:35

It was designed by the same guy who designed the Filcos. I'd say quality would be equal overall.

What would make you think that? Looking at the feature list and preliminary reviews, I would think the exact opposite.

acfrazier · 04 Mar 2011, 15:02

With anything being imported from overseas, no warranty would kill it for me. Plus all of the preliminary reviews as mentioned before, etc.

rouston · 04 Mar 2011, 15:20

okok

ironman31 · 04 Mar 2011, 16:22

If these prove to be better than a filco, I MIGHT just end up selling my Otaku white tenkeyless Filco.

zakazak · 04 Mar 2011, 16:43

i rly cant wait for the first reviews of a leopold to see if its better than a Filco

sixty · 04 Mar 2011, 16:46

I wrote a review on it a few months back:

http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/8837 ... c200r.html

Though some people may argue that its biased because I received the keyboard for free. However, I write my reviews honestly and without much mercy. The Leopold is a good board, and at the price it is currently offered for I would pick it over a Filco any day.

JinDesu · 04 Mar 2011, 16:57

Tenkeyless AND Otaku AND no price increase? That just ain't fair for me, man.

spolia_optima · 04 Mar 2011, 22:22

How do I preorder??? I WANT TO BUY ONE WITH MONIES.

celery · 04 Mar 2011, 23:29

Is there going to be a white version?

Corland · 05 Mar 2011, 00:17

looks like preorders start Monday the 7th. Hopefully they will have stock soon after to fill the orders.

gorb · 05 Mar 2011, 00:29

Yeah, a very nice price...hopefully he gets in some full size boards soon too so I can buy one for work.

Lol - you're so honest Sixty. Don't let Webwit change that.

I also think the keys look much nicer.

sixty · 05 Mar 2011, 01:12

Thats the cool thing. We work like good cop and bad cop.

ripster · 05 Mar 2011, 01:13

Yeah but it's like good cop and bad bad bad bad cop.

sixty · 05 Mar 2011, 01:14

He gave the Poker a 6.5! Not that bad! I guess he might be afraid of the Triad though.
