Title: Nice, middle class, sub-equestrian cherry brown keyboard (Filco or Leopold)
Post by: VortexGenie on Sat, 11 June 2011, 01:51:30

This is the third thread I've started in like the last 45 seconds.  I apologize; I just thought I'd get it out of my system.

I'm looking for a gift for my dad, who grew up surrounded by mechanical keyboards; but, alas, he has not learned to recognize their value in today's society.  Case in point: when I bought my White (brown on the inside!) Filco Majestouch 2 with black otaku keys, he said (to paraphrase): "Son, WTF."

Anyways, it's his birthday coming up, and I'd like to get him a nice brown cherry.  Given my budget, I'm thinking that Filcos and Leopolds are most appropriate.  I'd prefer a local deal (due to the vampirism known as shipping) in Vancouver, BC.  I'm looking to spend less than $120 CAD.  No Otaku for him, please.

Edit: Noppoo's and other 40%-ers are probably a little too complicated.

Yes, but I don't like that enter key and that backspace  ;)

you mean pedestrian, not equestrian.
