Filco ZERO 10-keyless with SE/FI layout
« on: Mon, 05 September 2011, 11:00:04 »
Hi. Is it possible to get the mentioned keyboard (with fukkas) upon request? In that case would it also be possible to get it with the "ninja" style keycaps?

Hi Iknorite

Welcome.
But sorry, I don't think we will be seeing any European style Zero.
It's not on the agenda for now.

Okey. :(( Thanks for the reply & welcome anyway.

Is it the low demand for the ZERO:s that makes it not on the agenda and that you wouldnt make much profit and/or do you have to order a big amount to make filco manufacture it for you?

Yes, Alps switches are not attracting the same interest as Cherry MX.

I got the impression that hardcore typists preferred alps and buckling springs over blues because of the lack of force, but I guess thats a pretty limited crowd compared to the MX fans as you say. Anyway I guess I'll have to decide between a Unicomp or a ZERO w/ US ANSI, just wanted to see if there was any possibility to get the zero with my "local" layout. Maybe I'll start a petition at deskthority if that would make a difference. ;)

I agree. Alps does have some appeal and merit but the market seems to be going with Cherries mostly.
