Title: Please advise: WTB Filco JIS layout cheap
Post by: berserkfan on Sun, 09 March 2014, 20:51:29
This is more a 'looking for advice' ad

I want to buy a Filco TKL with JIS layout. That ISO return key, tiny spacebar, etc.

I want to buy it cheap. No keycaps for cheap better than having keycaps. In fact, having no switches is better than having switches, since I want to put in my own switches. Having a scratched casing is fine since I intend to paint it anyway.

Where can i buy such a Filco? Is there some flea market website in Japan? Some Japanese version of ebay?

If anyone wants to know, I'm basically pursuing my idea that a small spacebar is good. I believe compact keyboards with small spacebars and additional modifiers on the side of the spacebar can be very useful.

I have one. In the midst of removing the switches. 

Do you want only the PCB?

Pm me.

WHAT? Geekhack is amazing. I placed this ad like 5 minutes and get a reply?

Basically looking for working PCB/plate and casing. No casing is also ok if this layout can fit a standard Coolermaster casing. I'm not really some kind of expert modder and don't have tools to cut metal plates or dremel casings. I just have relegendable keycaps and clear switches that I want to solder inside and try out some key layout experiments.

Spacebar preferred because that's the only thing I don't have.
