Title: Colored Filcos - Limited Editions?
Post by: Seriously on Sun, 27 March 2011, 03:39:59

So, I've been looking around, and I keep seeing weird crazy colored Filcos. If I recall correctly, there's an Italian Red, Metallic Blue, and a pink?

Are these limited editions? I've been wondering about them. Just how hard are they to track down and bag? And- are there more? These things are so cool...

You could probably check the keyboardco website. I think they have a list.

I'm pretty sure they've stopped producing pink ones, and it seems like they have stopped with the blue/red ones as well, although they seem to be a bit more available. I believe I saw a blue one on Amazon within the last few weeks(since keyboardco started working with them).

Edit: Here's a blue one. (http://www.amazon.com/Majestouch-Tactile-Action-Metallic-Keyboard/dp/B004EAHE9M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1301219717&sr=8-2)

IIRC, the pink edition only for 104 full one, no tenkeyless model for that color.

If the option you found has out of stock, may be you can try a australia site(kind of overpriced and not sure if they ship worldwide).

I checked into picking up one of the blue Filcos directly from keyboardco's website - they're willing to ship to the US, but with the exchange rate it was too steep for my blood.

On the other hand, Bruce emailed me saying that some more blues will be on Amazon "in a few weeks",  so keep an eye out.  I know I definitely want one - the blue is really sharp looking IMO.

I had to resist the urge to post my "I own a pink filco" meme.

The recent Gen2 Pink version looks very nice.

Only for the Divine People though.  They reserve the best thing for themselves like HHKBs with Arrow Keys.

Kyaaaaah, recent? The pink tenkeyless you linked looks rad. Think they're still around somewhere?
