Filco 88 Key Tenkeyless Update.
« on: Wed, 02 February 2011, 16:10:21 »
We have the European Language Tenkeyless now on a ship coming our way. Due to land late this month. We had an amount sent Express in order to fill some back orders and they are mostly shipped out now.  But some remain....
There are Swe/Fin, German, French and UK models in the main shipment.

I just got my Swe/Fi Tenkeyless. Nice keyboard, though mine has a manufacturing error. The keycap for the key "O" has the wrong physical size, or rather wrong inclination, compared to other keys in the same row. The "O" key is shaped like the keys on the row beneath it, the "asdf" row instead of "qwer" row.
I sent an email with photos attached and hope you can mail me the correct key.

It's nice to see an update on this. I ordered one with mx-blacks last week (fully accepting the late feb ETA) and i'm very much looking forward to it.

I also ordered a set of 105 blank keys a few days ago, but they're in stock. I'm assuming they'll be dispatched separately? Going to be a few confused faces at my work when i receive 105 blank keys for a keyboard i don't yet own.

Hi Boyboyd

We normally wait for the whole order on these things. Unless we hear otherwise. If you want the keyset first I can sort that for you, just let me know.

And Many Thanks for ordering from The Keyboard Company.

Hi Guys

We're expecting the ship to dock next week with the main batch of 88key TKL beauties on board. That is when we will be certain of things. Wrist rests are on another consignment coming by Air but due around the same time.

The ship is going to dock on 1st March so we'll be shipping out within about one week of that date. Assuming a smooth job by customs.
Seems to have been a slow boat but that all seems pretty reliable now.
Apologies again for the wait. But you will know it is worth it when you see this:-

Out of curiosity Bruce could you share with us some sales stats on these new Filco tenkeyless? I ordered a Swedish tenkeyless a couple weeks ago so I am really psyched about getting mine. I was wondering how popular the Swedish Filco boards are.

Hi Guys.
I hope you all had a good weekend.

guilleguillaume
The answer to TKL roofs came back negative - sorry.

pipedream
I can't share numbers with you unfortunately but it is good in a small specialist sort of way. You should be getting yours any day now.

I won't be stocking these European layouts into Amazon but watch out this week for the red switch USA models on Amazon. I think you will like them, 104 and 87 key and all with the new PCB.

So the Linear R limited edition will be available through Amazon only?


I thought they will be selling those from both Amazon and their own shop. There might be some Europeans interested and ordering from inside the Europe is always a big bonus.

You are going to have the first ever 88 Key Italian Tenkeyless! A true one off.

Black MX we can do, place the order and we will ship within a few days. We just have to do a little stock shuffle.

YAYYYYYYY that's sounds so good!!!
i sent u one more email, i was in a rush earlier, and i thought i didn't send it at all, very good!!
Since u told me it should take a while to re-arrange the keys, and have it mac-customized and the red "esc", you can take your time, becasue i will be in the usa starting from March 10th to 17th, and i wouldn't like to not be at home when the keyboard will arrive here in italy.
i confirm the purchase, and i will pay through paypal as said.

thank you! i can't wait for my first mechanical-88 tenkeyless baby to arrive!

Will there come a danish edition of the Filco tenkeyless, or can I buy seperate danish keys? The swedish has Å, so all is needed is Æ Ø instead of the Ö Ä
Many danes are eager for it ;)

Btw, do you have plans on selling the Leopold keyboard?

Ok, I am just wondering, do you by any chance mark down the value a bit on the packages for shipping? I live in Norway and I want a Filco, but I'd love to not have to pay that much in customs. Probably going to order soon anyway, but I figured I'd just check here first :)

Don't you Danes have the placement of the Ø and Æ swapped around, when compared to Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish?

Can't you just pull them off and switch them around and pretend the Ö is Ø and Ä is Æ?

At least you get UK taxes subtracted from your order, which are nearly as high as the Norwegian ones. It's not like you would save any real money by buying the keyboard in the UK and bringing it home.

I think I paid around 300 NOK at the post office (sales tax and taxation fee) when I picked up my Filco Tenkeyless - which by the way is the nicest keyboard (out of many, many from regular shops) I have ever owned.

Hi jsvd
Not tempted by reds then? I don't know for sure. It shouldn't be more than a few months though.
Guys, any worries about shipments do mail Helen (helen@keyboardco.com), my ace logistics person.

We are here to look after these things.

I've been using a fullsize Filco with browns for about 1,5 months now. It cost me about 145€ including shipping and it's been absolutely worth every single penny.
