Camo TKL Filco with Browns?
« on: Thu, 26 September 2013, 19:54:12 »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new keyboard, my second after my BWU ( That still works wonders ), and I've set my mind on a Camo TKL Filco with browns, or a Ducky G2 Pro with PBT caps. I could find the ducky easily in mk.com, but I can't seem to find the filco anywhere! Keyboardco is out of stock on then, and seems like they won't get more of them.Would anyone happen to know where I could find one? The shipping would be to a friend in the US.

Also, could someone tell me why the Filco seems to be more hyped than the Ducky I mentioned, since it comes with stock PBT caps? Besides the stabilizer difference that is.

Thank you very much!

I know that ncix.ca has them, but not the .com

There's actually a Filco w/ Browns in the camo case being sold in the classifieds right now for 115, not sure if it's 104 or tkl though.  If you don't grab that, a rep from the Keyboard Company told me that Amazon should be getting more filco's with browns in around December.

Alright, thank you for that info, I might wait a bit then, or see if I can get one shipped from Canada from NCIX.

Look what I found on amazon.

I can't pay that price for it D:

Check out the FS forum here and eBay.  They often go for ~$85-110 used.  I sold my TKL multicam for $60 plus a set of modifier keycaps, including shipping.

Also, has the problem with key alingment problem been solved, or is it still a common issue with filcos?

On ncix.ca, they are 150$. Shipping might be a little more to send it to the us, but can't be that much.

BTW, I have 2 of these keyboard and they are amazing.

I think they fixed it some time in late 2010.  It seems that they're now making the overcoat less thick on the top bezel to give the keycaps more room.

I tried calculating shipping to the US from NCIX and it can actually be quite expensive, around $40, which I do find a bit weird...

If they fixed the alignment problems then I'll surely buy it, if I manage to get it with a low shipping price somehow, since that is the only store that seems to have them right now, as well as other special versions of Filco boards.

All those keyboards will be lost in time....
