I'd like to buy a Filco Zero (tenkeyless) from anyone who happens to own one. Thanks!

Where are you located? I presume you have no preference of Fukkas vs XMs?

I had a Minitouch with XMs. Waste of a perfectly good case, controller, PCB, keycaps, cable, and feet.

I'd like to try a Filco with fukkas. People say good things about the fukkas.

The Fukka switch is a definite improvement, yes, although it's still a lot stiffer than Cherry blue.

My Zero is XM though. US tenkeyless.

I don't care if it is XM or Fukka. I live in Florida, willing to pay as new price.

Going by approximate weight and dimensions, ParcelForce quote me £56 ($90) (from 3 days, tracked), or £33 ($53) (from 5 days, not tracked) from the UK, but the Post Office will no doubt charge me something completely different. I'd suggest that you buy from the States if you can, but if no-one there has a spare Zero, you can have mine.

Lots of dust notwithstanding, it's in new condition -- never really used it, just needs a good dust. I'm happy to take £35 for it.
