Peripherals Mechanical Keyboards

Does my Leopold tickle your fancy?

 

Fancy buying my Filco w/Browns & Cherry DS caps if you end up selling?

 

Shirty, any pictures of the Leopold? Had a quick look through the thread and couldn't see anything a second ago (probably more me not being observant).

GeorgeK, looks a little too old skool for me, kinda looking for something I can tart up and make totally vulgar.

 

It's this one:



Nice thick PBT dyesub caps, and it's currently got blues with a green spacebar but I'm happy to amend that selection for a discerning buyer

 

Does look nice, just really want to keep it TKL though, I've got a Poker here for all my miniature needs, the Leopold just looks a little too small for me though.

 

No worries fella, let me know if you change your mind

I don't particularly want Topre, but I want something quiet and silenced Topre is about as quiet as I'll get outside of a chiclet board.

*searches for chundering emoticon*

 

Hey guys,

I'm looking into getting a Corsair K70 RGB, but I've never has the opportunity to test switches and all the samplers I've found seem to be sold out. I'm torn between red and brown because I like the tactile feedback of keys, but as I've never actually used them I don't know how it feels in practice. What's the best way to try out switches in the UK?

I don't know anyone that has a mechanical keyboard around me so I can't try it out that way.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

 

Where abouts in the country are you?

 

George's Filco is still one of the nicest boards I know of.

 

I'm in the southwest, Somerset. About 50 miles below Bristol.

 

If you ever make it as far East as Shaftesbury I work there, and I can show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes with the Carnival Cougar (see my sig).

 

I live in Taunton to be more specific. I very rarely go towards the East, but I'll keep it in mind on the off chance.

 

Well, Yeovil's not up to much is it?

Seriously, the offer stands if you ever have any need to travel in my direction. I have a contact who lives in South Petherton I see infrequently, might be an avenue if nothing else crops up.

 

Another West Country bod eh?

 

Sounds good.

Thank you very much for the offer!

 

I probably can't afford it but I need to know... what kind of money are you looking at for that pretty lil thing?

 

Probably something along the lines of £125 including RMSD. It also looks slightly different now in that it's got a Pexon detachable USB installed. It'll come with that as well as the original USB cable.

 

@GeorgeK, that's a really good price for what it is!

 

It's very pretty... and more than likely worth every penny but out of my price range, unsurprisingly.

 

if you like FILCOS!

cool, I'll buy it and use it with my pentium 4 machines as some kind of nostalgia trip to how things once were .

hehe I am mostly joking

In seriousness, I am super interested in the board. because GON made this http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/home/89-moding-kit-filco-tkl-into-wireless.html
