But none of the sellers actually have it in stock.  Darn it.

It is also listed on Diatec's site:

I really want this. Only way to improve it for me would be if they were blank keys, or at least front-printed like the Ninja.

I noted two things reading a little the descriptions of the features on diatec.
This first:
Quote
[Not only a typing feel…. but also a software got all renewed!]
Now there are many keyboards that are designed for gamers are available.
However almost all of them are designed without considering the fetures of a mechanical switches.
Hence, it results in experiencing unexpected troubles or errors when in use.
That may effect on the reputation of a mechanical switches.
Our new software is designed for gamers who want a premium keyboard that meets a professional usage.
We made it enable by bringing up a level of data transmission rate to maximum.
With this keyboard, you don't need any other pretentious keyboards!


But as far as I know which is not much, filcos keyboard doesn't have any software...

And also, this keyboard, and the black one, either tenkeyless or full layout are available on the 104/87 keys layout, the japanese one (I think 108 keys/tenkeyless) but the 105 key version of this, either UK/German/etc layout is not available :S does someone knows if they plan to ever release such versions?(with red switches)

PS:

[Cherry MX red lmited edition is now available finally!]

taobaobee.com found me a white filco with reds.  They put it on their site now so you can order it on their site: http://www.taobaobee.com/recommend.php?action=list&tid=39

About $183.97 + fees + shipping.

Direct link: http://www.taobaobee.com/recommend.php?action=view&gid=1455

Black bodies should be more readily available.  There may still be some whites left.  Daitec in Japan told me that white filco reds were only available in China.  When you order, in the remark specify which color body you want, and that you want red switches.  Tell taobaobee.com you are from geekhack.org and Lit sent you.  They may start some group buys for us later.

That's quite expensive.. even for Filco standards.

It is because it is MX reds, not browns or blues or blacks.  You could buy the black Filco with reds from keyboardco.com for 130 pounds, about US$212.4 + 14 pounds for S/H.
