Saw Ripster post this in another thread, but was wondering if there was any good information about it.  I ran this by my girlfriend to see if she wanted one (since she really liked my Filco Blues) and she loved it.  

For starters, any idea what kind of switches it uses?  Would Obook be able to purchase this for me?

Comes in Brown/Blacks, plenty of them over Taobao for around 950~1000 RMB.

Contrary to popular belief, Blues are actually the manliest Cherry switch, Diatec knows best.

I'm not sure if this is still true, but blues haven't particularly popular in Asia; they seem to prefer browns in that area.  The Asian crowd, in general, seems to prefer light and quiet.

That thing is pimp.

If the keycaps with pink, I'd pick one up, perfect for work.

That's the manliest Filco I've seen. If it came with blues, I'd pick one up just because that keyboard is dripping testosterone.
