I've had my eyes on the tenkeyless FC980C 30g white (AECX01) for a while, but it keeps going out of stock quickly on mechanicalkeyboards whenever it comes back in stock. It also most the time is out of stock, I have this keyboard in mind unless there's a similar alternative around. If anybody knows of a keyboard list where most Topre boards are listed, I'd appreciate that. Although I came across some, they were usually listing Happy Hacking Keyboards and old stuff. I've grown on Topre over the past years and have been thinking to retire my current one because it's a black on black and is not as easy to read on as my white one. The backspace and the spacebar are also showing their age. Mechanicalkeyboards have a set date to next month for pre-order, I'm not looking at this all bright though. I might order one when it is in stock. Oh and, the site has to be from U.S and the keyboard has to be new. I'm not importing from anywhere else.

30g keys are must, could be a full size Topre as well. Leopold preferred though.

Does anybody have experience with that site and pre-orders? I bought my current keyboard from them.

I preordered some keycaps from them. They were on backorder for way longer than expected, but this is when COVID hit China so not terribly surprising.
