Title: Where to get a Filco Ninja tenkeyless?
Post by: Peetnik on Mon, 29 August 2011, 10:42:03: Hey everyone, my first post here, so forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere....after all my research, I'm, well, tired of looking and ready to buy. I'd LIKE a Realforce, but not ready to shell out $300 for a keyboard, and it seems like the Filco slightly edges out the Leopold....SO, I'm looking for a Filco Ninja tenkeyless with brown switches. No idea where to find one, however. Any ideas?

thanks!

I think this (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_search.asp?SG=10044) is what you're looking for.

Fentek is good people. Feel confident ordering from them.

Just bought a filco TKL with normal keycaps and MX Blues on Friday :D

Ordered em, paid for em and picked em up same day :D (auspcmarket is like 20 mins down the rd).

Also got the flat mate a filco 104 key ninja with blacks..

So i swapped the key caps from her ninja to my TKL, :D love it.

Taken in to work. Few stares and what not, and one slightly annoyed team mate.. but screw him! :D

Took a bit of getting used to typing on, after only having the browns for a week. But all good now!

Love my browns for gaming and quieter typing.. the lighter key depressions took a while to get used to too. Now I cant go back. :D

Tried and lasted one day on my keydome after having used browns all wknd!

So had to buy another for work :D

And yes it pings (if you smash the keys [like i used to]). But i still adore it.. and the ninja keycaps, make the world of difference.. as I didnt like the normal key caps..
