Hello everyone. I have been checking Amazon daily to order my first mechanical board a filco majestouch 2 tkl w/ browns and they are up!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WOF7QM/ref=ox_ya_os_product
The product says it wont be in stock until the 14th, but you can order. I just placed my order a minute ago!
EDIT
I'm not quite sure what Amazon is up to, but it appears that they only had one in stock. It was fulfilled by thekeyboardco and I know they sent a shipment to Amazon, I had assumed this was it. There is no way they only shipped one though...Maybe its taking a bit for Amazon to fully update their site?
EDIT2
Lots of filcos in stock on Amazon - 9/12
-
just probably a bug or something
make sure to tell us about your ping
-
Most likely. They are probably just putting these into the system I assume.
Honestly I am not at all worried about the whole ping thing, but I'll be sure to post about my first impressions when it finally gets in. Projected delivery is not until the 19th though.
-
I ordered a blue Filco TKL from Amazon, and it has been pingless, fwiw
-
As this will be my first experience with a mechanical keyboard I have more worries than this fabled ping issue. Like whether or not I actually enjoy the switch I picked (browns), and if I realize I actually prefer having a numpad to not having one (since i got a tkl). I am pretty confident I made the right decision though.
-
I think the ping issue is overblown a bit. That's a very personal opinion, because I can't even hear the ping on the videos that were recorded to show the ping.
-
I don't want to freak you out, but here goes. This Filco I bought was my first mechanical too, and I was sure I wouldn't miss the numpad. But now that I have a TKL I secretly wish I had gotten the 104 version.

It's fine. I have done a lot of thinking about it myself and came to the decision that way. Obviously different strokes for different folks and all. I will probably just use the numpad as an excuse to buy a full-sized board with different switches if I really like the mechanical feel, which I'm led to believe it's impossible not to.

Heh, yup exactly. I will probably be picking up a full-size Rosewill at some point. :)

i love numpads and TKLs
-
Most people haven't experienced the issue. Because it's sporadic.
Therefore they think it's overblown.
It ain't rocket science.
-
The ping problem does not really bother me. But I saw an audio by ripster I believe with his realforce. That ping was pretty bad...
-
So do MOST people in the Ping Poll (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?20863-How-Important-Is-The-Cherry-MX-Ping-Issue-%28edited-version%29). Three days to get your vote in.
Man, it's a good thing you told me, or else I wouldn't have been able to voice my opinion on the matter in voting form!

I hope my keyboard gets here and sounds like a damn cash register ejecting its tray...now that is a ping.

They have new stock now, but all of them are 104 version

Back to the OT, it looks like there's browns up on Amazon now (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=filco&x=0&y=0)
-
damn it, no blues aside from the metallic blue 104
-
Dernnnn.
No brown tkl at the moment :(
-
Filco has really dropped the ball on distribution to the US. There's really no excuse for not being able to keep the majority of their keyboards in stock.
Too bad EK doesn't have a TKL red Leo for sale.

When I said this would happen, Ripster called me a troll.
Carl Matsu don't tell no lies.
-
TKLs now in stock!
-
Sweet, no reds though :(

Omg that pink filco looks hot, wish it was in blues :(
-
That pink filco doesn't have NKR though, does it?
edit---
Nvm, I guess it has nkey. http://diatec.co.jp/en/FKBN87MPWE/

These keyboards are going pretty quickly. I see only 9 pink ones left. Also, only 8 clicky tenkeyless ones left.
-
I just made it 7 tenkeyless with blues- couldn't resist :)

Good job.

Thanks, it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears... But the hard work paid off.

Just bought a Filco Ninja TKL, thanks for the heads up! :D
-
5 blues left. Also, 5 full size wristrests left. 9 metallic pink with browns unchanged.
-
Blues are gone. Sorry, I got the last one. 4 wristrests and 8 metallic pink left.

Well, I don't know there are that much people like Filco? I did not know that, I can offer it in similar price, it is not that hard, but I just don't like to deal with Amazon.

Yea. The white Filco you have on ebay looks really good.
Wristrests are gone now. I got the penultimate one.
