What happened to white Filcos?
« on: Wed, 16 November 2016, 13:47:26 »
Sold my last one with clears/grey I'd soldered on a couple years back.

When did Filco stop making them? Used to be easily available on Amazon.

Was hoping to pick one up and try some white switches.

Thanks!

the new ones seem to be a bit more yellow than the old ones, cream vs more of a beige. Still look nice though.

Yeah, the cream tint is definitely more visible in person.

Heh. I assumed the OP meant real keyboards, not silly TKLs...  :p

If you want any color other than black these days, you have to get a Kobo case at considerable cost (or paint the stock black one yourself).

$50 is pretty good compared to what some people pay for alu cases.

Agreed. Unfortunately, none of the Kobo cases are plain white, off-white, or biege. They are silly gam3r colorz.
