Title: Camo TKL Filco with Browns?
Post by: Kampeki on Thu, 26 September 2013, 19:54:12
Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new keyboard, my second after my BWU ( That still works wonders ), and I've set my mind on a Camo TKL Filco with browns, or a Ducky G2 Pro with PBT caps. I could find the ducky easily in mk.com, but I can't seem to find the filco anywhere! Keyboardco is out of stock on then, and seems like they won't get more of them.Would anyone happen to know where I could find one? The shipping would be to a friend in the US.

Also, could someone tell me why the Filco seems to be more hyped than the Ducky I mentioned, since it comes with stock PBT caps? Besides the stabilizer difference that is.

Thank you very much!

I know that ncix.ca has them, but not the .com

There's actually a Filco w/ Browns in the camo case being sold in the classifieds right now for 115, not sure if it's 104 or tkl though.  If you don't grab that, a rep from the Keyboard Company told me that Amazon should be getting more filco's with browns in around December.

Alright, thank you for that info, I might wait a bit then, or see if I can get one shipped from Canada from NCIX.

Look what I found on amazon.

Check out the FS forum here and eBay.  They often go for ~$85-110 used.  I sold my TKL multicam for $60 plus a set of modifier keycaps, including shipping.

Also, has the problem with key alingment problem been solved, or is it still a common issue with filcos?

What key alignment problem are you talking about?

On ncix.ca, they are 150$. Shipping might be a little more to send it to the us, but can't be that much.

BTW, I have 2 of these keyboard and they are amazing.

I think they fixed it some time in late 2010.  It seems that they're now making the overcoat less thick on the top bezel to give the keycaps more room.

I tried calculating shipping to the US from NCIX and it can actually be quite expensive, around $40, which I do find a bit weird...

If they fixed the alignment problems then I'll surely buy it, if I manage to get it with a low shipping price somehow, since that is the only store that seems to have them right now, as well as other special versions of Filco boards.
