Combine white US Filco with black DE Filco
« on: Thu, 22 December 2011, 07:31:36 »
Since there is no white Filco (tkl or normal doesn't matter) with a german layout I wanted to know if it is possible to get both keyboards and then switch the board etc. to the other case? Or is there a shop where I can buy cases only? Any help is appreciated.

pretty sure case switch should work.
but not all keycaps would fit.

Why wouldn't the keycaps fit?

also, the special signs on the numbers are in other layout on US layout, also punctuations.
z and y are swapped, you could technically swap them, but might look weird because they are one different rows!

Well, I only wanted to switch the case. So german board with german keycaps into the case of a white filco with us board and us keycaps. So there are no caps that don't fit.

I saw a white ANSI Filco TKL and a black ISO TKL open, just not at the same time. But I can't remember any difference between the two cases.

Krylon?

seriously, I would think that painting or vinyl dyeing a keyboard case would be way cheaper than buying a whole nother keyboard just for a different color case.  Shouldn't be that hard, either, since I don't think you even need to pull the keycaps.

N8N, I thought about selling the black one again since it would be nearly brand new and unused.
