Title: First thread and already need your help ...
Post by: ilyama on Thu, 18 August 2011, 13:35:10: Hello guys !

I don't see a section where I can introduce nmyself so I m gonna do this in a very short way ...

I'm from Belgium, I'm a new guy in Pc world and I like to try/test new thing ...

My new "thing" is mechanicals keyboards !
I want to try this ...

I already choose what I want, a Noppo Choc Mini mx Red ...
But I need some informations and only a noppo choc mini owner can help me ...

If someone had this keyboard, could you measure the both heights in cm :) that I have drawn on the picture?

I hope this is the same height than noppoo choc mini ...
You measured from your desk I suppose...
3cm it's not very high...

Thanks guys !

Thanks !

Post by: Lolcakes on Thu, 18 August 2011, 18:44:00: The edge of the actual filco board (the yellow line) appears lower than on the picture you posted. But I think I like that.
I love my Filco. I really think it is money well spent. Its a greate pleasure doing anything on this keyboard and I cant be happier. I bought it from the keyboardco for £108 but I just noticed that they have reduced the price to £90 O:

Best of luck to you!

Thanks !

Post by: Lolcakes on Thu, 18 August 2011, 19:45:31: I havent seen Red switch Filco that is tenkeyless. This is the only red switch Filco I can find:

http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=820

For some reason however they charge £50 more for this one, branding it as a "Limited Edition". And it is Full size.
Have a look around this website though. They are the official supplier for Filco keyboards in Europe.

Post by: Arcanius on Thu, 18 August 2011, 20:33:20: There was a Tenkeyless Red Filco, but it doesn't seem to be selling anymore. Maybe in a month when there's a restock they'll bring more in?
Ripster?

Post by: ilyama on Fri, 19 August 2011, 02:43:47: Thanks ripster , that's exactly what I wanted to know ! :) :) :)

Filco are very too expensive for me ... I can't put more than 120 dollars in my keyboard ... :(

- For the noppoo choc mini, you do not think that the edge of the keyboard to the first key is too high?

- You all know qtan from ebay here ? He's a member of this forum ?

I'am afraid to pay customs fees between China and Belgium ...
- You guys, do you have any issues for you order from China ?

Thanks for the help :)

People like to buy from him because he can get you itens from China (especially from taobao.com).
