What happened to all the Filco boards with blue cherry mx?
« on: Thu, 20 September 2012, 12:49:01 »
I remember that Amazon had a Filco Ninja with blue cherry mx but now it is listed as unavailable. If I remember correctly, they had a camo Filco with blue switch as well, but no longer. In fact, none of the Filco boards on amazon have a blue switch. I know that Rosewill still has one and there's still WASD and CM QF Rapid, but I wonder what happened with Filco. I wanted to get a white Filco with blue switches and was surprised that they only have brown, black, and red. I'm sure blues are still fairly popular with some so it's a tad baffling. Any ideas?

So popular that they are sold out everywhere.

I think someone else was running into the same problem a while ago.  I have no idea why, but one thing to note is that at Amazon the Filco boards are from The Keyboard Co, and if you go directly to their website (keyboardco.com), they do list some USA boards with "click action"

Thanks for the heads up but this is the Canadian site. Will they even ship to the US?

If Keyboard Co somehow loses distributorship for the US, then maybe.

I really wanted a white Filco w/ blue mx but it looks like they only make red, brown, black in the white case for full decks. To be honest with you, I'm about keyboarded out at the moment. I've got a Ducky Shine II on the way, I've already got an Italian Red Filco, a Das, and a Unicomp Wildcats Buckling Spring on the way. I might just hold out for a bit... even though I still keep debating it because I love the white case on the Filco.
