Filco Tribute to Steve Jobs
« on: Fri, 02 December 2011, 16:41:54 »
Hopefully this isn't a repost.  I found it on filco china.  Its a montage of apple compatible filco boards. If anyone knows where I can get the ergonomic keyboard with gold keys, I want one!

Keyboards:
Filco 104 MX Brown (Otaku) - FKBN104M/NPEK 黒い空
Ducky TKL MX Brown/Blue 80% (White) - 1087-F 白の空
KBC Poker MX Red with PBT Key Caps - PFCN6000

Wow you're still trolling about that?

I predicted they would scale back. Which they did.

Filco used to have a proper north american distributor. Not anymore.

I rest on your face. I mean I rest my case.

Now we have a UK distributor who ships them at a higher price to US only.

Top row and 6th row left are the only ones I could stomach. The rest are hideous. Steve Jobs would never have put the Apple logo on those pastel / neon travesties. The gold one looks like one of those cheap plastic rings from the row of gumball machines at pizza hut.

Looking disgustingly cheap like a toy. They are not even respect the colour theme of apple.

At least it will go well with this

Lack of distributor is not scaling back, since Filco is not the owner of that store. It is likely just no one wants to pay for the NA distribution rights.
