First thread and already need your help ...
« on: Thu, 18 August 2011, 13:35:10 »
Hello guys !

I don't see a section where I can introduce nmyself so I m gonna do this in a very short way ...

I'm from Belgium, I'm a new guy in Pc world and I like to try/test new thing ...

My new "thing" is mechanicals keyboards !
I want to try this ...

I already choose what I want, a Noppo Choc Mini mx Red ...
But I need some informations and only a noppo choc mini owner can help me ...

If someone had this keyboard, could you measure the both heights in cm :) that I have drawn on the picture?



It will be a very good help !

Thanks a lot !!!

Any filco owner can help with the blue line, as Squarebox reported the key heights between Filco and Noppoo are the same!!

The edge of the actual filco board (the yellow line) appears lower than on the picture you posted. But I think I like that.
I love my Filco. I really think it is money well spent. Its a greate pleasure doing anything on this keyboard and I cant be happier. I bought it from the keyboardco for £108 but I just noticed that they have reduced the price to £90 O:

Best of luck to you!

I havent seen Red switch Filco that is tenkeyless. This is the only red switch Filco I can find:

http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=820

For some reason however they charge £50 more for this one, branding it as a "Limited Edition". And it is Full size.
Have a look around this website though. They are the official supplier for Filco keyboards in Europe.

There was a Tenkeyless Red Filco, but it doesn't seem to be selling anymore. Maybe in a month when there's a restock they'll bring more in?
Ripster?

Thanks ripster , that's exactly what I wanted to know ! :) :) :)

Filco are very too expensive for me ... I can't put more than 120 dollars in my keyboard ... :(

- For the noppoo choc mini, you do not think that the edge of the keyboard to the first key is too high?

- You all know qtan from ebay here ? He's a member of this forum ?

I'am afraid to pay customs fees  between China and Belgium ...
- You guys, do you have any issues for you order from China ?

Thanks for the help :)

He's not the only one. See WorldWide Shopping Links wiki.

People like to buy from him because he can get you itens from China (especially from taobao.com).
