Title: Filco ZERO 10-keyless with SE/FI layout
Post by: Iknorite on Mon, 05 September 2011, 11:00:04: Hi. Is it possible to get the mentioned keyboard (with fukkas) upon request? In that case would it also be possible to get it with the "ninja" style keycaps?

Welcome.
But sorry, I don't think we will be seeing any European style Zero.
It's not on the agenda for now.

Hi Iknorite

Okey. :(( Thanks for the reply & welcome anyway.

Is it the low demand for the ZERO:s that makes it not on the agenda and that you wouldnt make much profit and/or do you have to order a big amount to make filco manufacture it for you?

Post by: Iknorite on Wed, 07 September 2011, 12:15:14: I got the impression that hardcore typists preferred alps and buckling springs over blues because of the lack of force, but I guess thats a pretty limited crowd compared to the MX fans as you say. Anyway I guess I'll have to decide between a Unicomp or a ZERO w/ US ANSI, just wanted to see if there was any possibility to get the zero with my "local" layout. Maybe I'll start a petition at deskthority if that would make a difference. ;)
