Author Topic: Filco's back on PCHome ($10 Shipping) (Read 26990 times)

DanGWanG · « **on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 01:05:33 »

Just bought 3 tenkeyless' (2x brown, 1x blue) on PCHome for about $126 USD each and $10 flat shipping.

You can buy up to 3 keyboards, before hitting the weight limit for the flat $10 shipping. Else, it goes up to some absurd amount, something like $70 USD, in which case you would just place it on multiple orders.

Link to their entire Filco stock. I know the URL starts with some weird string like eschweb, but when you click on a Filco product, it redirects to their Global site and in their shopping cart, it allows you to ship to USA (and other countries).

Link to OP by Ripster regarding the $10 shipping and guide to buying on PCHome: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=12854

Edit: Looks like PCHome is no longer listing their Filco products. Maybe they ran out?

Cool, thanks. Ordered 1 tenkeyless brown and 1 tenkeyless blue.

nigritude · « **Reply #2 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 01:33:05 »

man, i wanna buy some and i haven't even received my first mech (which i already ordered from EK yet....) you guys have really done well in the conversion

db_Iodine · « **Reply #3 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 03:01:21 »

Cool. These aren't too expensive even with shipping. Definitely a cheaper option than Armygroup.

AtMyHands · « **Reply #4 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 03:22:34 »

definately cheaper, i paid about $164 total from army group for my filco tenkeyless brown,

and i believe this time my tenkeyless blue total came out to be around $130 ish

HUGE difference.

FYI, it said they had 5 filco tenkeyless blue's in stock when i ordered mine. GOGOGO! these are a super hard find and if youa re second guessing yourself, bite the bullet NOW!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Just wanted to say thank you guys for the awesome information, especially over in the Wiki and throughout all the threads that you guys have posted.

After seeing this thread, I had to jump on this deal. I couldn't wait for a Leopold as a mechanical keyboard was going to be a Christmas/birthday/diamond league promotion gift from myself and my family, so this couldn't have come at a better time.

Will post pictures when received.

Thanks again for everything!

104 Euro for a Filco tenkeyless including shipping? Woah.

RiGS · « **Reply #7 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 09:16:30 »

That's awesome news. Too bad there is no white tenkeyless in stock.
Also you forgot about the VAT.
Maybe you can ask PChome to send it as a gift and to decrease the value for you to avoid any taxes.
Of course keyboardco is another option, but I want to open my filco and void my warranty anyway.

DAMMIT! why can I never find my CC at times like this

killy · « **Reply #9 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 10:04:09 »

The NKRO are listed as 400 TWD more. How many keys can you press simul. on the non-NKRO?

db_Iodine · « **Reply #10 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 10:06:29 »

The Filco models that don't have a N in their product code are all 2KRO.

Lethal Squirrel · « **Reply #11 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 10:10:38 »

Just found my CC, Ordering now

Maybe I shoulda put this in the Great Deals forum

Glad to see a lot of people scooping this up.

Thanks for posting this. Can anyone tell me which one is Tenkeyless with blues & NKRO? - I can't seem to find it with Google translate.

Thanks

If you're using Google Chrome to translate, "green shaft" is Cherry Blues. Likewise, "tea axis" are Browns.

Thanks dude - What would I do without you!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 05 February 2011, 14:07:02 »

Incorrect. I believe that "green shaft" is a medical disorder involving male genitalia. Not too attractive from what I've heard.

I like my shaft pink, like my women.

My green shaft feels really good on my fingers.

If you need or want the features of the Leopold keyboards, and can manage a few weeks of waiting, then wait for the Leopolds. If you don't need features like detachable cable, just order the Filco from PChome and you'll have your keyboard by the next weekend.

Damn, thought pchome was cut off from filco!?

It appears this is no longer the case.

I grabbed a full size NKRO board with blues. Will post again when I receive it.

Thanks a ton for posting this find.

So far I have not heard of a single GeekHacker having an issue. That being said, if you're nervous about it, don't do it. EK will restock soon, hopefully

I didn't really ever order anything international until I found this site...and as a result, I ordered 5 keyboards...

Are they all out? I can't get to the product page anymore. Just brings me to their front page. (Brown Filco 104 NKRO)

You might've missed the gold rush! Everyone hopped on this one pretty fast. Ordered one probably around the same time as Dangwang and they were selling like hotcakes. Hopefully EK gets some Leopolds in soon though.

Aww major bummer! Was about to hop all over this. Such a great deal it looks like. Will have to wait for more stock...

mickd · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 08 February 2011, 04:56:44 »

Yeah, the English brown 104k nkro sold out a day ago.

I was planning to get it yesterday, and it said it was sold out. The other filcos were all in stock, except today i can't seem to access them anymore too.

sawedust · « **Reply #38 on:** Tue, 08 February 2011, 05:41:06 »

So glad I was able to jump on this while they still had keyboards. Just checked the website and now there are no more Filcos at all available for purchase on the global site.

Thanks again for the heads up and luckily I pulled the trigger when I could, my keyboard should be in before the end of the week!

Kacee · « **Reply #39 on:** Tue, 08 February 2011, 08:41:40 »

know what, right after seeing this thread, I went ahead and order a Filco Tenkeyless Brown.

15' later, I came back and tried to order one more for my friend, sold out, tried blue but sold out also, don't know blue gone first or brown gone first, but i'm considering myself lucky

Nice timing indeed

It took PChome over 2 months getting these Filcos back in stock and they all sold in just a few days. I wonder if they'll get stock in 2 months again or not.

I just really hope that it wasn't a system mistake or something. (knocks on wood) My item has posted with a tracking number, but hasn't left the warehouse yet apparently. Despite PCHome's terrible tracking, it should at least show if it left the warehouse via USPS EMS tracking.

If you got a tracking number already, then I don't think you have anything to worry about.

phillip · « **Reply #43 on:** Tue, 08 February 2011, 11:39:33 »

I don't even know how to read my order status page so I dunno if it has shipped or not >_>

DanGWanG · « **Reply #44 on:** Tue, 08 February 2011, 12:13:52 »

If you're using Google Chrome, it'll translate stuff for you pretty nicely. Here's how you get to your delivery status page:

1. Click "Customer Service" in the top navigation area.
2. Click "Check Orders and Q & A" in the left pane.
3. Type in e-mail, password, verification code and click OK
4. Click "Delivery Status" (if available; otherwise it's blank)
5. Copy the "Delivery Order Number" and go to USPS.com and track it

You may have some disruptions in translation while doing this. If its not translating properly, just hover your mouse over the 'Chinese (Traditional Han)' drop-down and select the same language again. This will prompt Google Chrome to re-translate.

You'll never go back to using any other browser! Unless you need noscript and all that cool stuff...which Chrome may have extensions for now?
