Hey guys, new here to the fourms and soon to get my first mechanical keyboard. Ordered a filco yellow edition with mx blues on thursday of last week. Cant wait try it out ! But that is not the main reason of my post. I have been reading around the fourms and have seen these group buys thread as was wondering how they work and how often they happen. Sorry if this the wrong place to Post this wasn't exactly I should have. Thanks!

My first experience of using a mechanical keyboard is very funny to me.
As soon as I unpacked it and plugged in at once began to print the various texts,And the first impression was not clear.
I represented a fabulous sense of keystrokes, but when I was typing, I just was typing, time is no freez, seas no parted ... And at some point I thought I paid $ 100 for nothing ...
Well, a few days later, I began to enjoy each of keystroke, and I wanted to print more and more.

Now I have a cherry mx black, and I want to try other models, but unfortunately belarus has problems with the payment of goods from ebay across playpay =(

Group buys are always going for something or other.

hello,

That is a very nice keyboard. MX Blue is my favorite right now. I love typing on it.

Group buys are great - you should check threads in Group Buys section... You might want to buy PBT keycaps for your Filco...

How unfortunate.. I knew that KGB have problems with traveling to the EU, but the fact you cant make int. bank transfers is new to me.

Maybe write President Lukashenko you need mechanical keyboard instead of another agrimotor?

Group buy is easy. You tell the OP what you want, you pay money (lots of money), and you get stuff.

Hopefully I have a good experience with my blues!, I didn't in trying to find it tho. I first found it on Amazon as was happy it was going be so easy to find but turns out they dont ship these to Canada from Amazon, so then I went on to find the Keyboard CO. But they did not have the yellow edition in the blues, so I finally went on to email Diatec them selves and they said they would ship on to me, And I have to add the Customer service was amazing on there part.

Yeah I chose to go with the blues over the brows becuase of the audible click, and what are PBT keycaps?


Thank you guys for the welcomes also!

I'm also new here... PBT keycaps are made of a different type of plastic. They wear better and feel better (apparently). Good call on the cherry blues - I have blacks right now and they're really hard to get used to!

Yellow Filco, eh?  You went hardcore for your first purchase.  Well done, I hope you enjoy the blues (I love 'em).

A group buy is a bunch of people pooling their money and orders to take advantage of volume discounts, usually for producing custom keys.  The organizer usually puts up an order thread with a description of the buy (or an "interest check", if he's not sure if there will be enough people to make the cost per unit cheap enough).  People post in the thread and/or PM the organizer with what they want.  At some point, either a set point in time or after an order threshold is crossed, money is collected by the organizer (usually via Paypal), and the order is made.  People wait a few weeks (or months...), and the organizer receives the items and distributes them.
