Where can I find a korean layout Filco?
« on: Tue, 20 November 2012, 14:37:02 »
Hi everyone! Been browsing these forums for a while, but just now made an account as I need your help. I am looking for a tenkeyless Filco keyboard with korean layout with cherry browns, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I tried to search the forum aswell, but no luck.

Does anyone know where I can get such a keyboard? I live in Norway atm, so i need to have it sent over here.

Cheers.

I don't believe a korean layout Filco exists. Your probably better off finding a Leopold one.

Alternatively, you can check out the Skydigital nKeyboard Mechanic, its a Korean mechanical keyboard made for (apparently) the purpose of completely cloning the Filco so that FruitDealer would use it when playing SC2 as opposed to a Filco. Supposedly its made using the original plans/OEM for the short lived Bluetooth version of the Filco.

Thanks! I'll look into it. I'm not an expert, but when you say short lived, do you mean the quality of the keyboard or that is was on the market for a short time? The last would make most sense to me as Filcos are pretty badass. Don't have to much info on the bluetooth one you're referring to though.

There were Korean Filco Zeros. There was a really clear video of one, but you can see one here:

Don't know that I've ever seen a Korean Majestouch though.

On the market for a short time, I'm pretty sure its not available anymore.

Another thing, if you like Starcraft, last I heard BoxeR was using a nKeyboard Mechanic.

Can't you get a filco, and just put korean keycaps on it? I remember there was a GB recently for korean keycaps.
