Grr ... now I remember, Keyboardco don't stock the bog standard Cherry G30-8000 keyboards with brown switches. From Bruce back in 2010, "Just had confirmation from Cherry that they have never made a UK 3000 with Browns so they would want quite a large production order. Unless there is a fair demand I wouldn't be able to do that."
Pretty annoying, as that's a more budget price range. I wasn't sure whether to go FILCO or Cherry originally, and went FILCO primarily on style despite the significantly greater cost, without realising that I couldn't have had a G30-8000 with MX browns anyway, as Cherry aren't very good at specifying boards. WTF is wrong with Cherry? Their mini trackball/trackpad ML keyboards all have stupid layouts – they can't seem to make a single one with a proper reduced layout (like on a laptop, with ISO layout shift, \ and enter keys, ctrl before fn, and left win and context menu keys). None of the other mini boards (to which you could duct tape a FILCO trackpad) have ML switches.
That's assuming PCB mount is OK. I've never tried a G30-8000. Personally I need proper ISO layout, so options for me are a lot more limited ... I've considered maybe one day ordering a G80 from Germany with clears though.
