Amazon's filco tenkeyless included accessories?
« on: Tue, 29 March 2011, 00:47:11 »
I've been agonizing myself as I've perused through this great site for answers on which is best to pick between the upcoming leopold or these filcos.  I do like the blue LEDs on the filcos, the standard spacebar, and possibly the inclusion of a key removal tool and the red WASD keys.  Since I know a lot of you have the brown filco tenkeyless from keyboardco, did they include those tools?  Been a tough decision and still on the fence between the two.  The detachable keyboard isn't a big deal to me.  Anyone else undecided?

pretty sure the red wasd and the new key puller were listed as special items included in the majestouch-2 with red switches.  one would conclude that they're not included with the regular majestouch boards.  keyboardco however does sell the red wasd and new keypuller separately.

Thanks for the reply!  I'm sure I don't necessarily "need" the key puller.  Has to be a way to MacGuyver it.  I shall look through this site for the answer.

I recommend the puller. I used so many paper clips trying to get a key off just to see if I could.

I've bought and received two unobtainable Filcos since I ordered the plentiful Leopold.  There's that to consider too...

Yeah, the Filco brand is strong and does not seem to be going anywhere.

lol good to hear about the ability to manhandle the keys.    I'm really anxious to see when this thing is going to be released.  Should be any day now while I pull my hair out.  Just so ready to get rid of this Lycosa..... you have no idea.

Having used paperclips in the past, I highly recommend the Filco keypuller. I got one with my Linear R and just spent an hour replacing all my keys with blank ones, and didn't mar a single key.

I use a file organizer instead of a paperclip.  The two pronged aluminum file holders. Make just like a paperclip puller.  This one will be wider where it pulls the keys and thinner to get in between the keys better.

Still ghetto, but wont mar the keys.

I use paperclips for removing Cherry mx keycaps, and use two butter knives for removing topre keycaps.
Both works like a charm.

FWIW I ordered a filco tenkeyless red on amazon and the tools were not included. I returned it for a refund. :(

Trying to find a tenkeyless with reds now that amazon is out of stock.

You returned a keyboard because it didn't come with a keycap puller?

I've found on original Cherry kbs the keys are quite easy to pull off with fingers. But on the other brands using Cherry switches the keys seem a bit more difficult to pull (Ducky, Filco as examples).
