Filco Majestouch-like Keyboard?
« on: Mon, 03 January 2011, 14:05:51 »
Hi,

It appears Filco keyboards are out of stock at thekeyboardcompany.co and not available anymore at elitekeyboards.com. Furthermore, there appears to have existed Rosewill keyboards that were an exact replica except for the logo, but that is also not available anywhere anymore for online ordering.

Is there anything that is similar to the Filco Majestouch, with Cherry MX Brown switches, and with NKRO, that is available for online ordering to Europe right now? With US or similar layout and full sized.

Thanks!

But that's still two weeks away! Do there exist any similar keyboards?

The thing that makes it difficult is that I want nothing else than full N-key rollover, and only so few models have that...

Where I live, it's January right now...
Anyway, you might want to fire off an email in keyboardco's direction. They are a small company and answer emails very promptly. I wrote to them because the keyboard I wanted wasn't in stock at the time. I asked when they would get it, and the guy said "Oh, we have it right now, just order it and we'll send it off in a few days". So I did and they did.

They may not update the site instantly so it can't hurt to ask. Keyboardco is the easiest option if you live in Europe.

It's only November here, but it usually takes awhile for Texas to catch up with the rest of the world.
