But you wouldn get the super 1337 all black filco label on the board =P I kinda fell into the whole ninja thing also when I got my first board.

I ended up swaping the out the keycaps anyways so it didnt matter... like some people mentioned just get the normal one if possible if you know if you are going to swap out the keys. I would rather get PBT ninja style keycaps if possible.

Just wait. The Filco is a good keyboard but it's not worth $232. You could get 2 Leopolds for that price.
