I don't know if I would trust a seller in Hong Kong with only 92% positive feedback. That's the only reason I couldn't pull the trigger.

I have the non-Bluetooth with Brown's... really solid board. The layout is very well thought out. I've personally found the small right shift and backspace are really easily adapted too and the function layer arrows are smarter and more natural... that and the function layer backspace make this a keyboard that rarely has you leaving home row. I switched the backspace to prepare for my incoming hhkb.

If you can live with the abs key caps, it's a great, solid board.

I used to have the wired version and i believe it uses costar stabilizers but i am not positive. I can't wait. If this one works out okay i may get the cherry mx brown as well. I order the cherry mx blue version.  :thumb:

Link?

I am having a little problem linking it. Just do a search on ebay for Filco bluetooth and it will pop up. Sorry.

The Keyboard Company has it on its products list, but not in stock.

I think it's just a matter of contacting them about an ETA.

I guess this model does not have an outlet for a USB cord. That is unfortunate because there are times where you want to save your battery.

Should work. I can control my bluetooth speakers from like 2 floors up .-.

This only works with Windows though. I've looked at the firmware it's PITA to make it work well on MAC.
