Title: Filco, US ASCII version please?
Post by: Audiobs on Sun, 30 September 2018, 14:38:23

Post this on Reddit and no one really knows... Anyone heard of this TKL with numpad model? It's only in JIS model according to Filco's Japanese site.

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but it looks to me it's a limited model for Japan only, so chances are it will not have an ANSI model made.

"通販限定" implies it's limited item.  Though would be nice if they'll update all future model to the 10 key pad.

It's kind of like the Realforce Tenkeyless models.

All that effort on keycaps, software and/or hardware changes just for limited release... Hopefully, Filco will release it once the current production TKL is depleted, and hopefully with media keys as well, like the Realforce. :)
