Hey guys,
I don't know if you already knew it but it seems that Leopold is releasing the FC660C in a new color!
I have searched the forum for such a news but haven't found any informations.
This is maybes interesting for someone of the FC660C Users

Cool! Not my choice of mods (too dark, needs more cream) but looking pretty good. I'd get this over the other colour.
And thanks for telling me. Because I can't even browse Leopold's website, apparently:

Is that garbed Korean characters saying "Must install Flash" or is it just telling me I need Internet Explorer 6?

You are totally right, the mods indeed need more cream, but the interesting thing will be the PBT spacebar for HHKB
I hope you can purchase only the spacebar someday!

I don't think the FC660C actually has a PBT spacebar, despite the advertisement suggesting otherwise.
There is a thread somewhere where this was mentioned...
Edit:

I think the error is because the original link has a close bracket at the end which shouldn't be there.

Thanks for the fixed link 002 (I didn't suspect that at all, guess the dialog box is some hokey javascript 404 thing Leopold has that I've never seen before).
Pity about the ABS space bar.
Granite and the
NMB are really spoiling me for PBT all round.

Color scheme looks nice, but this layout still bewilders me.

Yeah, it's not a natural object of desire for me either. Besides, the legends on these caps look too small, make it more like the HHKB, plz! But I'm told the Leopold has the best sound of any Topre switch keyboard, and the size is almost right.

Why is there a physics formula on the front?

It's the formula for capacitance, and it's a capacitative keyboard, so...
Someone at Diatec Leopold must like cheesy formulas.
EDIT: Right, this isn't a Filco...

Leopold, you mean
Diatec are a Japanese company and they don't really have anything to do with the FC660C
