Title: colored plates

Nice, but I also like a colored plate in a black case, like the Rosewill RK-9000 has:

I wonder we don't see this more often. Apart from looking nice, it helps with finding dropped o-rings in between the keys :-)

It might be interesting if some manufacturers used plates with colors matching the switch, a blue plate would look nice too!

I think that red looks fantastic, would be even better with some white keycaps I think :)

How much did you pay?

Are you in Hong Kong?

Where did you buy it?

I am located in Canada. The total price including shipping was : 190$CA.

I bought it from http://www.hksuntek.com. They put gift on the package so no duties or tax etc...  :-)

Good idea, Filco should take note of it.

Thanks.  $192 USA.

Wow, Google Chrome didn't like that webpage.  I'm going to assume it's a Taobao broker.

Hooo! Sorry

Try this: http://www.hksuntec.com
Much better.

The darkened logo is a majestouch 2 thing*? I heard someone say it was only darkened on filcos ninja.
Both seem to have the same logo.

All Filco Maejstouch 2 have gunmetal emblems.

THANKS!  That's good to know because I had it in the WW Shopping Wiki but wasn't sure how good these guys were.

I'll put a link to this thread in the WW Shopping Wiki under Hong Kong.

About how long did it take to ship to you?

I will prepare a picture of the package.

It took around 10 days maybe. I have to take a look to make sure.

The minute they come up with an ISO layout, I will be all over it like a fat kid and cake.

You mean an ISO board with a red (orange?) case? 'Cause they already make ISO (EN-UK and other) boards with the standard black case.

I meant a Ninja with ISO. Or, to be honest, any of the interesting special editions. Only ones available in EN-UK are the standard 105 and TKL models.
