Title: NIB *White* Filco Majestouch 2 TKL w/ Reds (& WTT/WTB Realforce TKL)
Post by: aggiejy on Thu, 04 August 2011, 18:51:58
SOLD! Thanks for the interest!

Greetings!  A bit less than a month ago I ordered a brand new limited edition WHITE Filco Tenkeyless with Cherry MX Red switches.  Quite a rare board.

It came today.  I washed my hands then carefully took it out of the box and typed on it for 10 minutes and put it back.  Didn't even un-velcro the cord or open the keycap puller packet.  Also didn't remove any key caps.  It's about as new as it comes.

It is indeed like typing on a cloud of boobs.  But during that long wait, I fell in love.  I got a HHKB w/ Topre switches... typing on clouds of rubber does it for me a bit more that boobs.  I *love* this HHKB.  However, I do miss my arrow keys and function row.  I could make do with this, but my one-handed combos are limited.  Also, I'm waiting on a Kinesis which I'd probably use if not the Topres.  It'd be a shame to let this board sit in the closet neglected.

Ideally I'd love to find someone with a like-new Realforce 86UB or 87UB that wants a highend Cherry board.  But I know that's a tall order... so I'll consider just buying the Realforce from you too, or selling the Filco to someone that wants it.

Not picky which between 86/87, so if you want to get that new 87 that went on Elitekeyboards today and want to ditch your 86... let me know!

Asking price is what I bought it for... $255.  (Qtan can't find more last I heard.)  But I'll also pay $15 of your shipping.  (which would be free for US if you want it Priority I think)  For trades, I would consider paying the difference if your board is worth a lot more.  And heck... for grins I'll throw in this brand new $25 (+shipping) Ducky leather tenkeyless wrist rest I just got today also.  (Too hard for my taste.)

Thanks for looking!  If all else fails, I'll just keep this in my collection.  But I kind of feel guilty buying more without selling something.

White Filco w/reds vs. HHKB/Realforce.  This is a good problem to have. :smile:

I want this but $255 is hard for me to swallow :)

Either way, good luck with your sale.

Those are really cool keys!  Except the trackpoint hole... that would bother me. :)

The white keys are just a bonus, the RGB is what people are after.

Yes indeed.  It would be sweet to have originals.  But I'll be a little overwhelmed (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?20058-FINAL-Doubleshot-RGB-Set-from-SP-(Orders-Payments-Deadline)) with knockoffs soon... pretty sure I won't want to ever see those three colors again. ;)
