Just bought a «Camo Filco Majestouch-2 Tenkeyless» from "The Keyboard Company". Good an smooth service.
Keyboard seems very good. Already replaced standard ABS keycaps with PBT4 keycaps from IvanIvanovich GB (thank you again Ivan!) with rubber o-rings and.. it is another world!!!

For everyone who ...

Nothing wrong with Ducky?!?
Please, read here ...
NEVER reply to a customer request is the BEST way to lose him... And also the most idiotic.
But I do not want to speak about Ducky.

... what kind of "post sale support" are you expecting when you buy a mechanical keyboard
To have spare parts? That ...

Shipping cost is not the problem... The problem is the custom lottery... Lottery because you do not know if you will pay 30% or 40% or 50% more...

Gulp! I was thinking it was in France, but "widebasket" is from South Korea...

Question is easy, answer not, at least for me...

What is the best tenkeyless you can buy in Europe this year? I do not want to make customs happy and rich so, no USA, Japan etc. Not sure about UK... But at least for a while... :(

I was thinking to a Filco, but I read on Amazon US some very bad ...

Unfortunately the email address was correct... It was the same they used to reply me when I was around to buy some keyboards and they suggest me a seller in Singapore! Really clever... I live in Italy!

From my point of view, for sure, I will boycott Ducky Channels and all the sellers that, I think ...

Now available for shipping:

unfortunately not in all Europe (very strange...) but in UK (that now is out from Europe... :mrgreen:), Canada and USA...

I understanda that they are Made in Germany and not the usual s*#t Made in China, but they are pretty expensive for ABS ...

I really hope that this keyset can be produced! I love it!
But OEM/Cherry profile would be better, for my taste...

Quick upgrade, if anyone is interested (not in my problem but in the POOR QUALITY of Ducky Channel customer service): no answers.

I am very unhappy for the really poor Ducky customer service. Think to that before buy a Ducky keyboard: any problem you will have, you will be alone.

I had a problem with my Ducky DK9008P, my fault, unfortunately I broken a leg.

I wrote three times to Ducky support asking for the possibility of a spare part and they NEVER reply me.

I think, if this is the support and the kindness an international company - in the third millenium - gives to its ...

None of them.
Something with style and class inspired to Gerry Anderson's "UFO" or "Space:1999". To remember the "good old days"...

Just got yesterday my «Cherry '98» set.
I replaced my original PBT Cherry laser set now faded... Lovely!
Very well done, I am really satisfied with this set! Thank you a lot Ivan, great job!!!

HAKKO FX-888D

I think they ship all over Europe.

Oh! I hope it is nothing serious...

I would like the 87 variable, white keycaps... It is out of stock...
Hope to still have a job next year, to pay it!

Kul keyboards have replied me: no embedded Numeric Pad inside their keyboards...

Honestly I think that would be a real surplus for a TenKeyLess keyboard to have it... Topre Realforce and IBM SSK have it... It would be like climbing Mount Olympus...

Hope Topre will come back to Europe...

Any news about this group?

The SSK is just under 41cm wide.

Thank you!

The Topre is 36.6 cm (4.4 cm less).
The Cooler Master Quick Fire TK is 37.75 mm (3.25 cm less).

To make a comparison with my present keyboard (Ducky Premier, full size): 44 cm (35.8 cm "without" NumPad).

I don't need the NumPad for numbers but for ...

Sorry, you are correct, I add a "not" in the wrong place...
I wil try to find the dimension of an SSK keyboard, I was thinking that it was bigger... My full size Model M are a lot bigger then my Ducky...

But, at the and, I cannot think that IBM and Topre are the ONLY manufacturer who make a ...

Isn't the SSK bigger than a modern TenKeyLess keyboard?
I would like to save space on my desk (and have the mouse bear to my left hand). Probably the IBM are too big... Or not?

I have two Model M, lovely, but for normal use the MX Brown are less tiring (for me!).

IBM keyboards are like supercars ...

50€ are always 50€ also for me... If you are a small company, with clever people, you can do it, but it is not "normal" for all...

Do you mean if the company pay or save the VAT for you? If you are the company owner or the boss, you can do it but, otherwise, is not possible...
Unfortunately skip VAT is not possible (for me)... And, outside UK, gli have also the INTRASTAT problem...

> Most models are in stock. Including...
Thank you, already checked. After a couple of black keycaps keyboards I understood that black is not my colour... White/cream keycaps are more easy to use in the night...

> Quick Fire TK
Thank you for the link. Sounds interesting... It is the old model (4020 ...

Nice but, for me, the contrast between dark blue and yellow is too big... Not really relaxing for your eyes...

> The Keyboard Company sells...
Yes, true. But it is not in stock, until 2016 or more... And, unfortunately, EUR is real trash against GBP... :(
I would like to have some more options...

> doesn't work on the Mac
Mac?!? What is "Mac"? I don't know... :mrgreen:

> Tenkeyless IBM SSK
Nice to know ...

TenKeyLess keyboard with NumPad? Strange question? Yes, can be... :mrgreen:

I would like to try this type of keyboard but I really need some special keys (like the "*", "+" and "-").

I saw that Topre Realforce 87UW has an "embedded" NumPad. That is fine but, this keyboard, is almost impossible to ...

Yes, standing workstation is another option...
I know, is better to move or walk around, but is not always possible...

Thanks to all! :) This week-end I will buy a Swiss Ball (or Fitball) and I will try it. Cheap and simple. Next move will be to find a good chair... I will check again the Ikea models.

No, I don't stay 12 hours on my chair, I go around for small walk but sometime I really need to stay on the chair ...

I tried it at the Ikea store near my city... But i found it too big for my legs (I am 170 cm tall).
How tall are you?

What is your best/prefered chair for staying all day long in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard?
I need to change my old chair and I searched on the web but I found only strange, and expensive, chairs that I cannot try by myself...
Do you have any suggestion for a chair I can find in the ...
