Title: [FS] New Filco Minila w/ Browns
Post by: aggiejy on Thu, 18 April 2013, 09:53:31: [attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

I bought a brand new Filco Minila (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42126.0) just to try out. Neat keyboard!

I typed on the board for about 1 hour, it's in factory condition. I didn't even unwrap/use the cable or open the extra key package.

$110 Shipped USPS Priority anywhere in the USA.

Ugh. Why do you GH people have to post such good stuff at such good prices!?

Post by: SmallFry on Mon, 22 April 2013, 10:04:23: Alrighty. I'll check around. Would be a cool GH60 case.

SmallFry, I highly doubt a GH60 PCB would fit. Or, it might fit, but you would probably have to cut off screw holes, standoffs, etc.

I haven't opened it up, but yes, I read that it is. Feels just like any other Filco, except the small layout.

Post by: jdcarpe on Mon, 22 April 2013, 10:28:42: I'm so tempted, except that you can't easily swap keycaps. I love Filcos, but I hate using the Filco's stock keycaps...

I have a keyboard addiction... seems like I buy most new boards that come out to try out. :) But I'm not keeping it because I'm not a big fan of the backspace size (though, you can move it to the "\" key), and because I fell in love with a new 60% size Leopold FC660C. Otherwise, the Minila is a great board... the same feel and quality of any Filco board. :)

Well, it's certainly different, but I actually love the layout aside from the backspace key. The spacebar position is perfect for my typing pattern and it gives a handy Fn key location is is awesome on a 60% board.

True, but note that it had a dip switch and extra keycaps to make it use the HHKB style backspace if you want too.
