Title: Yellow Filcos on US Amazon
Post by: fruktstund on Tue, 18 December 2012, 11:18:44
Just thought I'd let people now that The Keyboard Company tweeted a moment ago and said they have a limited stock of yellow Filcos in MX Blues and Blacks up on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=yellow%20filco (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=yellow%20filco)

For most of us this isn't a great find, but for some of you I guess it could be. :>

Cheers

Was this board ever made with Red or Brown switches?

On ncix.com (for Canada), there is also a few yellow's (black switch), a few white and pink (black switch) and a AI (blue keyboard) (with browns), but 104 keys.

And Rowdy responds (would have responded 90 minutes ago but I had to leave for work).

Too expensive :(  $149 plus about $60 shipping to Australia.

Plus it's weird to see the WASD keys and keycap puller listed further down the page where it says "Order in the next 2 hours and get it by Wednesday, Dec 19." - yeah right, like TODAY is 19-Dec, does that mean they will ship from US to Australia and it will arrive within the next 8 hours?!?  I think not. :p

Damnit.  Why can't someone in Australia stock these.

Thank you :)

I originally had one of these on back order here in Australia, but after nearly 2 months the vendor decided it was no longer available and cancelled my order.

So I bought a QFR TKL with the intention of getting a set of yellow keycaps, but so far have been unable to find a set I like.

Just the Filco yellow (YCF) keycaps would be fine.

Do want, but $150 for TKL blues or blacks makes me sad.  WTB with greens or browns...

I ordered one of these w/Browns and 104 keys almost a year ago. This may be a sin but I've barely used it for fear it may get dirty.

How often do you take it out of the box to gaze upon it? ;)

About once a month. In the process I wear protective cloth gloves. ;)

My Filco yellow slowly turned into a clown car board. Only the space bar remains.
