Title: Filco ETA
Post by: axel on Thu, 16 April 2015, 08:26:50

Hi, folks!

Is there any ETA available for the FKBN87MRL/EB2 or FKBN87MRL/EW2?

Many greetings from Germany!

Hey axel, thanks for getting in touch.

The FKBN87MRL/EB2 is expected around mid July.
The FKBN87MRL/EW2 will take significantly longer, perhaps 2016.

If you're in Germany, would a German-layout keyboard be OK for you? If so, then you could get a Ninja TKL with red switches:

Unfortunately there's no red switch TKL with standard keycaps, but you can take your choice of the other 3 common switches:

Hope this helps,

Hi Will,

I prefer the ANSI layout because its easier to get nice PBT keycaps for it.
I guess im gonna wait till mid July, i really want MX Reds in TKL format with the normal top facing keycaps.

Best regards,
Axel

Hi Axel,

Sure, that makes sense. If you place a pre-order now, we'll ship one to you as soon as we have stock :)

Cheers,

Will
