Title: Looking for white tkl ISO (UK) board!!
Post by: baldgye on Sat, 25 January 2014, 04:21:41
Alright so the time has come for me to invest in my end game item, I know what I want but I've no idea how to acquire such a beast.. So the specs I'm after;

-white shell, (there was an old GON posted in here I'll grab pics of tonight that is the exact case) it's while with a pink band on the sides that has LED's behind it
-TKL
-ISO UK, I've seen countless white tkl boards that are ANCI or that have that huge enter key or odd space bar sizes etc I want an ISO UK board because I prefer that layout and it's just what I'm used too
-stepped caps lock/off center switch, because it looks hella cool
-switches either blue, clear or brown not too bothered about which just something with some click to it
-detachable USB cable, not a must but just something I'd like
-pre-made, I can't build anything so if I was a custom board I would need someone to build it for me :)


Alright so that's it.. I know it's a lot and I know there are not many options... But can anyone point me in the direction of someone who could build such a board?
I know about sprits GB and I'm watching it too see what a finished tkl board looks like. I also know that I could buy a tkl filco board and then try and find a custom case for it but if that could be avoided I'd prefer it :)

Thanks in advance!

KeyCool would come close on most of the points.  You could get a centre stemmed stepped caps lock (not sure there are many recent keyboards with an off-centre stepped caps lock).

The only thing is I don't think it is available in UK ISO.

White Filco ANSI board and a black Filco ISO UK board. Swap the insides, sell the black ANSI board on.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Majestouch-2-Tenkeyless-Action-Keyboard/dp/B00E3BLAHY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390752226&sr=8-1&keywords=white+filco

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Filco-Majestouch-2-Tenkeyless-Tactile-Keyboard/dp/B004HYCW56/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390752242&sr=8-1&keywords=filco+majestouch+2+tenkeyless

If you don't want to do the swapping out, offer to sell the black ANSI cheaply to someone for the service of swapping the internals.

The ones I linked are a White with Blue switches and a Black with Brown switches, but you can find White with Red or Blue on Amazon and Black with Browns, Reds or Blues pretty easily.

Talk to kailet. I believe he can do custom layouts/colours, and his boards are works of art. http://22gongbang.tistory.com/ http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14671

Try PMing/emailing him here :

http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14671

If that fails, talk to Binge about it. I believe he is in contact with Kailet regularly ;)

It's worth noting that Kailet can do all assembly, switch tuning etc.

Well, it might end up being something I have to do... but I'd like other options available

painted boards tend to look like **** IRL or have a finish that dsnt feel very nice... but again this might be something I'm forced to do and would be something I'd probably do before buying a white filco board and swapping internals
