hi,

it took me some days to check the local stores, compare all the switch types and many other details i want for my new keyboard... finally decided to get a DECK 82 because it fits perfectly!
i waited until monday to call te german reseller for DECKs i found on your website because there was only a contact link on the 82s detail page... little did i know :/... the don't sell them to endusers anymore!
he told me there was only one shop that got some DECK 82s in the past... checked the website... no 82s

is there no way to get a deck 82 as a european citizen? the GE (german) layout exists... is there a possibility to get one from the US? mechanical keyboards are just getting hyped again and this is a real turnoff for me XD

any other idea for a keyboard that could fit my demands?
- cherry mx blacks,reds (maybe brown if no other possibility)
- no numpad
- compact layout with no waste of space (for example filco tenkeyless)
- german layout
~ maybe backlit
~ maybe black on black keyprint (happy hacking) / no keyprint / side keyprint (tenkeyless ninja)

backlit and the keyprint are not that important to me but it would be cool...

thanks and greetings from germany

I think there aren't that much compact mechanical keyboards with Cherry switches and a german layout around.
Either a Filco tenkeyless from Keyboadco or a Thermaltake eSports MEKA which is available with black Cherrys only.
The second one is not that ugly for a gaming keyboard an only about half the Filco's price.

I was looking for a similar Keyboard myself and couldn't find anything beside those two (I don't really care about printing and backlighting).
If money wasn't an issue I'd definately go with a Filco. But since money actually is an issue and I don't want black switches I'm kind of screwed.

maybe this is something for you:

or maybe a original for 1€:
