Hi All.
How does this work for you? I've posted a list of what is in the next shipment here:
My Facebook..

It was the easiest way but let me know if you can't hack Facebook.

One thing, I apologize now, it has been put back two weeks from my earlier estimate.

That's unfortunate, I thought Filco reds would be available on Amazon mid-May, but it appears to be mid-June now.

I'll still be looking forward to it though.

^ Filco reds is there unless you want a full size.  Anyway, thanks for the PDF, Bruce.  Looking forward to get me another Filco reds since I sold/traded my last one with a Type-S. =D

Oh no, I see it there but at the top it says ETA to be available on Amazon is June 13th. Unless I'm reading it wrong?

Originally I was under the assumption that they would be available mid-May.

Thanks for the update Bruce!

So your ship is coming in on June 3?  I'm guessing it's going to be off-loaded in the Port of Los Angeles or Long Beach, CA.  So can you give us the name of the ship and the port?  I just want to make sure it doesn't get hijacked by pirates or something.  LOL.

Also, you couldn't get even one white Filco with MX blue switches?  rly?

Hi eth0s
You know you can track the ships on-line, linked in to the on-board GPS. Is great fun but I won't know which ship until it's actually loaded.
We will do more blues, and in white cases - it is just a batching thing.

Well, actually, it turns out that Filco Whites are off-white, while the keycaps on Filco Pinks are bright white.

Let me know how you find it and remember it is about 2 weeks after it docks before we see goods on the shelf at Amazon.

If you actually read the manifest...it clearly states White TKL with MX Blue switches on it... Unless you wanted a Ninja with blues, or a 104 with blues.

No updates to give. Bruce cannot control the shipping process from China to the US. The boards arrived at the dock on May 29, and then everything has to clear customs and be stocked by Amazon. They should show up online sometime soon. No one knows exactly when.

Wow, you really want a keyboard with red switches, huh? You know, they have Rosewills with reds on sale at Newegg right now. What if Amazon doesn't stock them until tomorrow, or even next week? You're going to sit at your computer and constantly refresh until then?

I thought about picking up one of those Rosewill's but I've heard from so many people that get defective boards I'm a bit hesitant. Plus I'd like to get a Ninja TKL for gaming.

Hahaha! Yeah, I have 3 Filcos. And one Rosewill. I think the Rosewill is comparable to my Filco 104. They are made by Costar on the same assembly line, with different finishing components (USB connector, etc.). In fact, I'm thinking of picking up another Rosewill at that price. But I will always love Filcos; they are my favorite.

In truth, I would never buy a Rosewill if only because the USB connector is known to be a POS. The CM Storm on the other hand...reasonable alternative IMO.
