I like this line:

Quote from: Mr. Knowitall
Black key switches from Cherry (Germany) - you know what this means if you care enough about the quality of key switches.

The picture and description clearly shows:

Quote from: Oh, really...
FKB104M/EB

A quick cross-check on Elitekeyboards says:

Quote from: 'Sup, *****?!
Cherry MX Brown Switches

Corroborated in the listing by:

Quote from: Mr. Knowitall
'Tactile field' key switches for light, yet tactile feedback on the tip of your fingers when pressed.

Uh huh.

So you think they're actually brown switches?
(if it's 2 years old from japan. maybe they had blacks back then?)

The model number hasn't changed in 2 years.  The model number for the black version is FKB104ML/EB.

- Beautiful blue LEDs


LED color is also an easy way to check the switch type on filco boards.

  • red LED - black switch
  • blue LED - brown switch
  • green LED - blue switch

This is the exact keyboard I ordered two of from Elitekeyboards on tuesday.  I selected 2 days shipping and ordered before 1 PST.  Doesn't arrive until Monday- I am not pleased!

I ordered a filco tenkeyless otaku with blue switches; still waiting for the fedex truck. Looking forward to my first mechanical board! Should be a sizable upgrade from my Microsoft Natural 4000.
