Thanks! Yes they look like and clearly have been commissioned by DIATEC - finally. The FILCO should really ship with these keycaps. Shall be getting a set but would like to scout around for a better price. I hate paying 'retail'.

Hello chaps, I saw these today: http://www.keyboardco.com/product/double-shot-filco-105-key-uk-keyset.asp Only on the screen. They look rather nice but at £46 inc VAT the price is classic KeyBoardCo. I find their products £££. What do others think? Any ideas on who is supplying them? Perhaps I could...

Does RF do a wrist rest?

Thanks 002. I'm ordering two 87 55g units. One to keep and one to sell. I'll be selling the non-keeper for £162 + postage worldwide, and of course, pickup from my home in London is welcome. I realise this is an edgy price but its a still a saving from Keyboard Co's £192 + postage of £6! PM or I'll e...

Storage space is very limited. I think I'll use it about two to three times per year. Won't a heat proof mat suffice?

Hello chaps, I'd like a soldering iron - but the options are far and wide. I like Antex as a brand - but unsure of what wattage to go for. Do such items come in variable wattages? Mainly I'll be doing small home electrical stuff, I very much doubt I'll be desoldering and soldering my KBs, although m...

Hi, where is the best place in AU to purchase either Realforce or HHKB?

Thanks.

Evening chaps, My FILCO numpad is causing me issues, I think the decimal point switch is not working. The others are ok, but it behaves erratically at best. Therefore I wonder whether anyone on this forum could lend a hand in repairing it, by switching out the bad switch. I'm London based and happy ...

I think its possible... have a look on Amazon UK. Do you like ISO? I think ANSI is actually far better for me these days, but the switch back only take a few hours. If you have a Poker II or similar, I have been able to remap the keys to give an almost HHKB layout. You'll have to look on the 'otherw...

I'd be looking at the £150 if I can pull off this deal. I'll be in touch in due course...

Hi Mu, its been a while. The HHKB is actually fairly reasonable on Amazon. Its a premium status symbol item and at just under £200, It think its not bad at all. Plus it always holds its value in the event of a resale. I preserved with the HHKB and have not looked back. It took some time but now I ap...

Dear all, I have an Australian connection, my wife is from there. This Xmas I'll be meeting the MIL in Dubai, she'll be flying in from AU. Perhaps I'll ask her to bring over two RF 87 KBs for me. One to keep and one to sell. The wonderful KeyboardCo are selling the same UNIT for £192 incl VAT, but n...

The Poker II IS STILL great and easily fits the HHKB layout via KARABINER and some nifty XML settings. I use this set up as my travel board and while its not perfect, it mimics the HHKB enough to keep me happy. It gives the Poker II the same cursor set up.

Thanks to both - yes I love it too, the ISO set up is rare, you are right, and this makes it a pain when entering GPs, but I try not to spend too much on such things now. I am happy with this set up and it will last 'forever'. Many haters out there re the FILCO but I think it has become a victim of ...

IMG_6552.jpg This received no love on the other side, but perhaps it will here. My daily driver, so to speak. I love it - good value for money, something I am not precious about, but take great pleasure in using, nevertheless. PS. the photo looks odd as it was taken with an Olloclip and then correc...

what a lovely board...

Did this ever happen? If so I'm sorry to have missed out.

Hello

Is this meet happening? It would be great to have a drink and talk kb.

Where is this (pictured) keycap set from?

I'd recommend you for a US layout... I went for the UK and now cannot participant in group buys, most of the stuff does not cater for us ISO users. A shame really but this is how things are.

I won't be making the same mistake again.

My initial thoughts are above and haven't really changed at all. I love this board. See the first post of this thread.

Order some o-rings now as they make all the difference. I have some 50s knocking about so used them. They reduce the travel by 0.4mm.

Do you mean the Poker review or the HHKB? I'm still in love with the former. I opted for Browns and have fitted o-rings. It's pure silk. I'll do a video soon.

Thanks for your kind words. It was just a quick write up. I intend to do a fuller write up shortly. I also have a HHKB now so will do a comparison, perhaps a written one to start with when I find some spare time, and then, if I am feeling brave, I'll do my first ever YouTube video.

With best wishes,

Dear Muirium,

Thanks for taking my comments in the manner in which they were intended, to create discussion and debate!

You 'll see I now have my Poker II... its fab. A short review is available on this forum. I'd welcome your thoughts and comments on what I have said.

WIth best wishes,

Good afternoon chaps, I am very new to DT and the world of mechanical keyboards. I joined the GeekHack a few months ago, mainly in the hunt for better keycaps for my FILCO TK Cherry Brown board, and within this short membership, have just taken delivery of a little beauty made available via a Group ...

Thanks for this information.

I do think however the internet is a strange place... so many views from users who don't appear to actually have the items they pass judgement upon.

Muiruim, is your main keyboard really an Apple one?

I've ordered this kb from the group buy over at geekhack. It should arrive on Tuesday. I was planning on the filco MINILA but like so many have said, the layout is terrible. The fc660 is damn expensive in my humble opinion. As a newbie I think the hhk2 is over hyped. It's an exclusive thing, surely?

Does anyone have an idea where I can get Thick PBT Keycaps with ISO Layout?

Hello

If you find ISO caps in PBT please let me know.

Thanks.

The sky's the limit for cherry keycaps so have patience and I'm sure you'll find some decent caps eventually.

Thanks for the welcome.

Good morning chaps, My first post, I have a relative newbie to the world of mechanical KB. I currently use a UK ISO FILCO TK Cherry MX Brown with modified keycaps from WASD. I am searching for high quality keycaps for my main board but am finding that many group-buys on other forums don't really cat...
