As informed before, Leopold is working on ISO versions of their keyboards. They have two models coming in ISO UK Qwerty. The FC660M ISO UK in black and the FC980M ISO UK in black. If there is interest I will be setting up pre-orders for them and get them stocked in January to test the market .
ISO DE is coming right after this and we are still working on getting a deal with them to support much more layouts.

That is an amazing job. I am VERY thankful for your efforts, more ISO-DE Topre is a dream come true. Will ISO-DE be available in "grey/grey" as well?

I am kinda desperate for ANY grey ISO-DE Topre mount board so I can transplant the keycaps to a HHKB.

Topre? Sure it's not just MX?

the "M" at the end of the product number stands for MX, indeed (it's C for Topre "Capacitive").

Yes indeed. These are MX models. Topre is not going to happen anytime soon due to a too large of MOQ.

BTW, I would love it if Leopold would make ISO versions of their PBT keycap sets. Those are the nicest, crispest sets I have seen.
I use a blank navy set on a Ducky TKL keyboard, in ISO - with only the Return/Enter key of a different make dyed blue.

Have been lurking here a while but just made an account to tell you that I'm super interested. This is exactly what I've been wanting!

I'm VERY interested in ISO DE!

Yay! Waiting exitedly for ISO-DE, would love to get both formats but I'm afraid there will only be money for the FC660M.

no FC660C ISO? good.. My wallet is safe

I would prefer FC660C ISO, but MX is fine for now, I'll have one too:)

Would it be aluminium case or plastic?

Also noticed that Windows key is 1u, not 1.25u...
Also, I remember there were some issues with stabilisers in last row and that right shift, is that correct?

I literally made an account just to follow this. Any news on pre-orders?

I didn't see any news on this, but keep looking:)

This one and Varmilo 68 ISO is my priority this year:)

I'm still thinking about the FC980C White ANSI Topre 45g, but this guy has a nicer color scheme;

Any news on this?

I'm waiting for a ANSI FC980M with browns in stock. However, I'm also considering the FC980C, despite its price, because I'd really like to try Topres. The only thing that prevents me from placing my order is the ABS spacebar. Do you know if the black PBT spacebar that is sold by http://www.keyboardco.com matches the original color?

Are you sure that black spacebar is PBT?

Yeah I reckon it's the ABS one. It appears to have the same 'NSP' stamping that is visible on the Topre ABS spacebar that is sold by Elitekeyboards too.

I think you are right. Aren't black PBT spacebars available anywhere? A black keyboard with an orange or blue spacebar simply looks ridiculous.

I got mine from taobao. Will post link to it later when I get home (on mobile at the moment)

choose kit6 (5th option) for black.

It's also on aliexpress:

which proxy service are you using?

Didn't need to use one for that particular seller in the link. Item was shipped directly to the UK, I just had to get in touch with him first to get the postage cost updated on the order before paying.

I did order something over the holidays using http://www.parcelchina.co.uk/Home/tchina, but it hasn't even been despatched yet by the seller so not possible to comment on the service at the moment.

edit:

Forgot to add that if I were you, I would try candykeys.com first and ask whether they are planning to restock the spacebars any time soon in your preferred colour. @€6 each + €4 shipping it's a pretty good deal.

Hey, how is it going with stocking the ISO Leopolds? I couldn't find them anywhere on the web. I'd be interested in FC660M ISO UK w/ MX Blue. Thanks!

Here you can read that they are still "in manufacturing", so I suppose you'll still have to wait for one or two months:

I've been expecting the ANSI Leopolds for 3 months now. They are "in transit". They were supposed to have arrived by the end of February. Same with www.mykeyboard.eu
