As far as I know, the standard Filco gamer WASD is lavender. It depends on where you buy.
I know that keyboardco.com does not include extra keys (they are still awesome, though <3).

I bought the tenkeyless version off of amazon and it came with a key puller and red WASD.

Hmm.

I plan to buy mine off keyboardco.com but the first reply says that they don't include extra keys but then the second reply says his came with the key caps (but off Amazon).

lol...kinda confused. They have the red key caps available on keyboardco but I don't want to waste any money if the keyboard already comes with it.

http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=821 (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=821)

specifically says "This limited edition model comes with additional red WASD key caps, and a key puller."

Edit:  that's the tenkeyless version direct from their website.

Edit 2:  if you just want the red WASD keys, keyboardco has those too.

Right you are. I thought they only include it for the USA buyers trough Amazon.

That actually explains the higher price, besides being "limited".

now if you can find some blank red WASD keys (otaku style red keycaps with the up down left right arrows on the side), THAT would be a find.  i use ESDF instead of WASD, so the keycaps wouldn't really appeal to me.  the real issue with red ESDF keycaps is the F key with the homerow bump.

Yes, there are, as far as there is only the limited edition.

ps: mine comes from uk directly (same vendor, and shipped to italy) and inside there are: red esc, red wasd, and the new puller.

Well, kinda just feels like any other plate mounted keyboard.  Kachunka Kachunka...

Is that how all plate mounted keyboards make you feel?

I recently received my Filco MX Red 104, it came with red WASD and new style Filco key puller.
Good stuff.
Bought mine from a store in Hong Kong though, so maybe it'll be different for you.
But usually when you order from Asia they include the WASD; they love throwing useless extras into your order.
