Title: Where to get a Filco?
Post by: lolkeyboards on Thu, 01 November 2012, 06:53:34
Anyone know where I can purchase the Filco Ninja Majestouch-2, Tenkeyless (side printed keys) version in the USA for a reasonable price?  I can't seem to find any US vendors.

Amazon.com (via keyboardCo so stock can take time to get there) and ncix I believe are a good place to look.

I don't see any of the NCIX us website, and I don't see much on Amazon.  How much does the tenkeyless go for usually?  Seems odd that I see it at the same price as the full version.

I might just grab a Ducky tenkeyless, as it's a significant amount cheaper than the full layout.  :-\

EliteKeyboards (http://www.elitekeyboards.com/) use to be a large Filco distributor for the US, but they have dropped filco and replaced with Leopold. Now there are only 2 places, Amazon and NCIX, with amazon being bigger. All ninja TKL models are $150 shipped:

Neither of those places have the side printed tenkeyless unfortunately.  How is the ducky shine in comparison to filco?

Safer to get a CM Storm quickfire rapid and buy side printed caps elsewhere probably. Or you could wait for the next stock :\..

Oh wow you're right, he's out of stock on all the TKL ninja boards. I got all my Filco ninjas off amazon, so just wait for restock.
