I bought a brand new Filco Minila just to try out. Neat keyboard!

I typed on the board for about 1 hour, it's in factory condition. I didn't even unwrap/use the cable or open the extra key package.

$110 Shipped USPS Priority anywhere in the USA.

So very tempting. Been trying to get my hands on a HHKB without paying out the nose or waiting on the FC660C to wind up on some Stateside store.

Ugh. Why do you GH people have to post such good stuff at such good prices!?

Goes to eBay on Wednesday if no one wants it here.

Is the keyboard compatible with the Poker/Pure if you wanted to drop a GH60 into it?

Good question, I'm not sure.

SmallFry · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 10:04:23 »

Alrighty. I'll check around. Would be a cool GH60 case.

aggie, is it plate mounted?

SmallFry, I highly doubt a GH60 PCB would fit. Or, it might fit, but you would probably have to cut off screw holes, standoffs, etc.

I haven't opened it up, but yes, I read that it is. Feels just like any other Filco, except the small layout.

I'm so tempted, except that you can't easily swap keycaps. I love Filcos, but I hate using the Filco's stock keycaps...

My last sale fell through... one more try here before it goes to eBay!

May I ask why you're selling it?

I have a keyboard addiction... seems like I buy most new boards that come out to try out.

But I'm not keeping it because I'm not a big fan of the backspace size (though, you can move it to the "\" key), and because I fell in love with a new 60% size Leopold FC660C. Otherwise, the Minila is a great board... the same feel and quality of any Filco board.

Well, it's certainly different, but I actually love the layout aside from the backspace key. The spacebar position is perfect for my typing pattern and it gives a handy Fn key location is is awesome on a 60% board.

Was about to post that I'm interested, then took a second look at that backspace key: deal breaker. GLWS tho!

True, but note that it had a dip switch and extra keycaps to make it use the HHKB style backspace if you want too.

Nice. Glws.

Sorry, this sold. I lost track of the thread until you did the necrobump.

Will lock.
