That's a decent deal.  Still $10 shipping to the USA?

Someone should buy all their stock and resell it for huge profit. That's the way intelligent profiteers roll.

^speculate that there would be limited stock and high demand, else you have a whole bunch of keyboards no one want.  Also do you really want all those people at geekhack calling you greedy?
looks like the other filcos are at good prices too, too bad they are sold out.

irony doesn't go well on the internet. I sensed it but you know someone here is going to try and buy a whole bunch for resale.

Even better someone should buy one, donate it to the community. Then when they were all gone just resell that keyboard for double price, or trade it for a Realforce, because probably the contributor likes Realforce.
You hear me KL?

At least it is good to see pchome starts to sell Filco to outside of Taiwan again, so we are not at Amazon and the keyboard co's mercy.  And pchome's shipping is much cheaper than army group.

$138 shipped for a White Filco TKL with Browns aint a bad price either.  Good for non-US buyers I suppose :)

Not trying to be a Leopold activist, but if you missed out on the filco TLK, the leopold is a great keyboard.  I have one and I love it.

I get to whip people with the detachable cord, something filco cant do ;).

CMstorm is also very good. I don't have a leopold, but given the keycap (and spacebar) compatibility, I prefer the CMstorm.


Lets' corner the Filco red market!

No-U.S buyer should understand that PChome declare value base on the retail price, so if you are in EU, get ready to pay full VAT.

U.S don't charge tax for order under 200 dollar.

Red Switches is chinese caps.

I hear that I can order some red with English next soon, but price unknown.
Look for Keyboard? Check my offers. I have most major keyboard and some caps for you, if you don\'t see it there, ask me. I am Top rated seller on eBay now, and have retail store in China selling keyboard and other gaming staffs.

Bro, as someone who understand and read chinese, I can safely tell you that this board (FILCO RED) is in English layout(at least thats what the website claimed)... The Chinese layout one being sold out.

That's what my EDIT for.

BTW, the FILCO R in global.PChome now(not sure whether sold out by the time I post this...) that I posted in previous post is indeed an English board(at least thats what claimed by PChome).

English Board
Chinese Board(which is out of stock and they doesn't seems will restock as it asking you to "look for other board" instead what they normally say "wait for restock"

Well, the TLK Filco is Chinese caps, the 104 Filco is English.

PChome is very good, except dealing with TAX.

BTW, I am considering become Filco re-seller in U.S :P

+1 on qtan being the US Filco rep.

But more importantly:  Why hasn't qtan moved his store to New York City yet?  What on Earth are you doing in Missouri qtan?  When is the last time you had a decent pork bun in Missouri?  How about a nice bowl of congee?  Shanghai soup dumplings?  How about a competitive game of Mahjong and a little drop of Wu Liang Ye (or Fen jiu, I think Wu Liang Ye might be a Chinese-New York invented spirit)?  If you move your store to New York, I promise I will come by your shop with a fresh roast pork bun every day.

And I thought Chinese Food in the states are different from the ones in China based on word of mouth. You seem to think otherwise.

BTW, seems like the FILCO R on global.PChome had being sold out(expected what..).

There gone the probably last chance to lay your hand on a "cheap"(cheaper than most others) and 1st hand FILCO R.

Most Chinese restaurants in the States are not authentic.  The best Chinese food you can have in North America is in Vancouver, BC, Toronto is second.  Everywhere else is not close enough.  Worse, you get American Chinese food, which I'd rather have a burger instead.

It is getting better though.  There are a few Din Tai Fung restaurants popping up on the west coast.  The one in the Seattle area is just a 10-minute walk from my office.  :-)

what is the difference between Filco R and Majestouch, your basically paying 30-50 more and sacrificing the fact you cant get this TKL just for the red switches is that correct?

Majestouch 1 is the old one, Majestouch 2 is the newer version.  Filco Linear R Limited Edition is Majestouch 2 with Cherry MX red switches.
