Title: Filco Excellio Lite "Dream"
Post by: sixty on Fri, 28 January 2011, 18:24:31
Folks over at Diatec obviously started consuming various drugs, their new product comes with this.....interesting colorscheme:

Rest is nothing special, scissor switches, yadda yadda.
Probably one of their company internal bets. "Hey, close your eyes and pick three random colors in photoshop. If we still manage to sell the result, you owe me 2000 yen!"

Purple WASD is harmless.

But this board in all purple and neon green? Ouch.

Speaking of lime green WASD



Found that on Das' site, didn't notice it before.  Is it new?

I ordered those key caps as I ordered my keyboard. They do NOT look like that marketing photo. The best way I can describe those key caps, is Christmas color Red and Green. Let me re-attach them and i'll show you guys a real life pic.

Das Keyboard took a bad pic?  They shoulda used a German Leica (probably one made in Portugal like the Das is made in Taiwan from a company in Austin, TX with a German Marketing Director wife of the CEO).


I wouldn't say they took a "bad pic", more that the item is incredibly difficult to photograph. I've attempted a number of times to replicate their real life color with the photographed color, and its quite a difficult task. I've now broken out the SLR and Flash unit to try and get accurate pictures. Bare with me, i'll get this. =)

Just found this online while doing some research. Was about to create another topic, but did a quick search and found this one.
~Anyway, what the heck was Diatec thinking? XD
I mean I would buy one, if it wasn't scissor switch...

That keyboard would go very well with the Transformers Decepticon combiner Devastator figure on someone's desk:

Wouldn't surprise me if that was the inspiration.

Just watching pictures of it is giving me headhaches. Maybe it's worse  on a screen, but still!

Even random colors would be better I think!

Reminds me of the VLocity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLocity_160), all that purple with a little bit of green.

It's beautiful! Depending on the price and availability, I might buy it. Sexiest scissor switch 'board I've ever laid my eyes on.

I don't think I'll be dropping that much for a scissor switch kb. :/ Thanks for the link though. If I ever find $85 on the ground I know what I will be getting. :p

Haha okay, also I dug through their website and found the different color variants of this keyboard, each of them much more subdued than the purple and green monster xD

Never got into that series, but one thing is for sure, nothing beats Burakidiosu. The new poison type monster in Monster Hunter.

And here is an armor set, and even a weapon, crafted from his hide and other bits:

I just wish they localized Monster Hunter: Frontier Online for the NA and Europe.
Any other Monster Hunter fans out there?

Dude I would totally use those keys. It's like a novelty key set rather than a single cap. Though it'd probably get old pretty fast.

I'm a huge MH fan. Back in middle school I tried to play MHFO but after a week of trying to get by with guessing I just gave up. I heard they're bringing it to NA, but it's going to be on Xbox.
Title: Re: Filco Excellio Lite "Dream"
Post by: razorsharpgears on Thu, 03 January 2013, 17:12:46
Yeah I also tried playing MH:FO, but it's such a hassle.
Also, recently it looks like they have rejected the idea of bringing it to NA/Euro on XBox, as they have mostly stopped updates in Japan for that console. Instead they are mainly focusing on the PC version in the Land of the Rising Sun. So our best bets are hoping that they will localize it for PC.

And here are some more Purple and Green Pictures to keep you occupied in the mean time:
