I really like the clean look with built-in LEDs and no visible branding, but they're still an ugly and shameless copycat of the Filco Majestouch.

There's not much room for fantasy when you want to make a clean looking keyboard.

Meh, too easy. It is clearly a product called into life because of the success of the Filco. I bet they started with the Filco, and then thought, hmm, we can't have the case exactly the same or we'll get legal problems, gave it the asymmetrical (only on the top) curvy edges, which is exactly what makes it look relatively cheap and ugly compared to the clean, straight lines of the Filco case.

I'm not a fan of Filco nor Leopold, but have you counted how many keyboards are looking the same as the model M ?Meh, too easy.

The xarmor was heavily criticized just because an additional (minimal) bezel and grille design.
So enter in the mind of leopold designers, they decided to make a kb made to hit the heart of the filco's fan, they ended in the only possible design.
Personally I like more who manages to offer an added value than who follows the trends so, likely I'll avoid anithyng made from Filco or Leopold, with the exception of the Majestouch mini, which I like a lot because its layout (which I consider an added value)

Yes, these are horrible clones as well. Unless you noticed them looking like the Model M before the Model M was released. I think before that they cloned the Model F look.The Solutor wrote:I'm not a fan of Filco nor Leopold, but have you counted how many keyboards are looking the same as the model M ?

He took a ride on a OTD thing.
I have researched it before, there are roughly one billion companies making all kinds of stickers including various foil designs. I think the problem was they all have minimal orders of 1000 stickers or above.
