Title: Filco "white" Majestouch?
Post by: niz on Wed, 14 July 2010, 11:22:21

Has elitekeyboards ever offered a white majestouch model? I love the look of the HHKB and Realforce white boards. I've done a few searches but can't seem to come up with anything. Guess I could try emailing elite...

Precisely. What about a 104 key model with labels though? Just how I roll. Has the tenkeyless otaku been discontinued?

There are fullsized, lettered ones, but they are available on the Japanese market only, and (as far as I know) only available in the Japanese layout.

Looking at the Asian sites it seems like Filco only ever had one full-size white keyboard which used black ALPS. There are white tenkeyless with labels though, however it seems like EK does not carry them. KeyboardCo in the UK does (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=693). Chances are that EK will carry them sooner or later, or at least can help you get one. As far as I know Brian (owner of EK) does a order once a month from Diatec.
