Title: Try a Filco in Sydney, AU
Post by: urbanus on Thu, 19 April 2012, 06:41:25
CX Computer Superstore (https://www.cx.com.au/Contact.asp) has two branches in Sydney and they both have a range of Filco keyboards in stock, with some on display to try.  Prices on their website.

(I mention it because this sort of thing is very uncommon in Sydney -- stores here generally only have Logitech and Microsoft rubbish on display.)

On their website, yes.  I might go back and check exactly what they've got on the shelf: I'm sure they had a MX black model at their Pitt St store.  I saw blues and browns at York St.  Some are ninjas (i.e. front-printed keycaps) and some are tenkeyless.
