Where has the Filco FKBN87M/EW2 gone?
« on: Sat, 18 May 2013, 01:32:20 »
About a year ago, I bought a 104-key Filco in white with Cherry MX brown switches. At the time, I scoffed at the tenkeyless design, writing it off as a fad. Now I own a tenkeyless Filco with Cherry MX blues and I love the added desk space / mouse closer to natural hand position, even though I am not a gamer.

I miss the Cherry MX brown key switches dearly though. I don't care so much for the super-click that the blues make.

So finally the question: What the heck happened to the tenkeyless Filco's in white with Cherry MX brown switches? A year ago when I bought the 104-key, I found them all over the place. Now they seem to just be missing entirely from any vendor, even if I didn't care what the price was, I simply can't find one.

Does anyone know of a vendor that still carries these? New, in-box highly preferred. The model I am looking for is FKBN87M/EW2. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. I am in the US but don't mind paying fair shipping prices.

If you're willing to settle for a black case, and pay a little extra to get it from the UK, you can always pick one up from http://thekeyboardco.com

It was semi limited edition for a while but it seems like Filco is releasing them again.  The MX Red version was out for a while but it looks like MX Brown version just came out.

NCIX Canada don't have them in stock yet but should have it soon.  http://ncix.ca/search/?categoryid=0&q=filco

And Asia always seem to get them faster (www.armygroup.com) but yes grab them while it lasts  :P
