Title: Filco ninja keycaps availability
Post by: Stephane1972 on Thu, 11 August 2016, 18:07:10

Hi guys :-) I have a filco convertible 2 and I would like to swap the stock keycaps for a set of ninja keycaps (genuine filco ninja keycaps, as they look the best in my opinion, despite being of lower quality than PBT keycaps).

I was wondering if any of you guys know if Filco intends to sell them separately in the future (both their top printed and blank keycaps sets are sold separately but not the ninja version).

Thanks  :-)

Well, I have a set of Ninja caps from a Majestouch-2 you can have outright. Just PM your mailing address.

Thanks zslane :-)

That would be great ... but first, can I ask you if it's still in good condition ? I'd really like to find one that's almost like new, with little to no shine on the keys.

Thanks :-)

They are completely pristine/unused. I replaced them with keycaps from SP the moment I opened the box.
