Wasn't sure which prefix to use as im not entirely sure what i want to do..

Bought from Keyboardco and still with original box & protector. Nothing wrong with it at all and frankly not too keen to sell it. BUT after browsing this forum more and more.. I think i want to be 'one of those guys' with a cool-to-few/geeky/gaming/hacker/nerdy whatever you want to call it keyboards.. and I think I need a poker/HH/ tenkeyless or simular to achieve this.. OR some funky cool keycaps for this one to make it more 'my own'.. im just not sure whats available in the UK?

- I have recently given it basic clean recently. I use it everyday so its not perfect.
- Has blue WSAD (have originals somewhere)
- Red 'Geek Hack' key not included unless doesn't fit potential swap.

Horrible iPhone 3gs photos:





I guess in summary I would rather swap this for something mega geeky OR find decent caps for it than straight sell it as i use it every day.. but for right price will do so.

£95ono (they are £95 + vat + blue caps + delivery new)
Can ship worldwide. (apprx £12)
uk shipping £4
Collection birmingham UK

Thanks
Phil

I only put it at that price as im not really sure i want to sell it.. rather find something smaller as a p/x etc as i mentioned.  Also dont really know 2nd hand market. :)

I think WASD is going to introduce ISO layout in a few months...  maybe get a set of custom keycaps from them, if you can wait that long?  Filco is a great keyboard.
Filco Majestouch-2 with Cherry Corp. doubleshot keys - Leopold Tenkeyless Tactile Force with Wyse doubleshots - Silicon Graphics 9500900 - WASD V1 - IBM Model M 52G9658 - Noppoo Choc Pro with Cherry lasered PBT keycaps - Wyse 900866-01 - Cherry G80-8200LPBUS/07 - Dell AT101W - several Cherry G81s (future doubleshot donors) (order of current preference) (dang I have too many keyboards, I really only need two)

Hey mate.

Would you be interested in a Ducky 1087 (tenkeyless) with Cherry Blues, US layout. Comes boxed with purple WASD keys, 2 red escape keys (Ducky logo and Ducky name) and a velvety carry bag. Really nice board, but I just don't like the blues as much as browns, hence wanting the trade. Can provide pics etc if you are interested

Whatever you end up buying, get it for well thought-out reasons, not just because some people think it's "cool".  I like TKL because it takes less space and I don't need a numpad.  If you like the numpad, just keep your 104.  Filco's a good board.  Consider carefully before buying a Poker/HHKB.  Some find they can't really get used to not having dedicated arrow-keys, FN row and Home/End cluster.  Sorry if this post is patronizing.

no it is a good point.. as i said.. i'm not really keen to get rid of the filco.. so chances are I'll buy a smaller keyboard as an addition rather than a trade.. I use the filco for development daily..

I'm seriously considering a Noppoo choc Pro now as they have function / arrows but they are still smaller in form and are customisable. My main concern is the total lack of '£' key.. and being a UK guy thats kinda important lol!
Theres also a Poker EU group buy going so i may get one.. then sell it on here/DT/ebay if i dont get along.
