you can get FILCOs from Moderno as well (Here)...and Inter-Asia.. though Inter-Asia's website state nothing on their product page, only the logo.

What is the overall consensus here regarding Filco vs Ducky?
I'm going to Japan soon, and might consider to get a mechanical keyboard there. AFAIK Filcos are available, but not Duckys.

Anyway, if I do have the time to spare (and work doesnt lock me up during weekends), i'll drop by Akihabara and check out the Filcos. Perhaps i might even organise a bulk .

Get the topre...

How much cheaper will the FILCOs be direct from Japan? If it's not much, definitely better to get it locally since Inter-Asia now carries FILCO products so warranty will be less hassle also if there's anything wrong with it.

As far as i know, stock avaibility for filco in Malaysia quite limited. I think you can get ur filco only from Czone and CEX now. others migth have no stock now

Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying it

I think the FKBN87M/EB are circa RM400 and the FKB104M/EB are circa RM335. are they reasonable compared to local ones?

I see from the list Ducky have more followings than Filco. Are Ducky better? Topre seems way too expensive for my blood

Based on Amazon JP price, I saw something about 7000 - 8000 yen for the FILCO with Cherry MX switches, so thats pretty cheap. Or consider the FILCO Zeros for the LOLs. Those are dirt cheap.
If you can find the Realforce and HHKB in Yahoo JP auctions, those might be worth it.

Yup that's why either pre-order fast with the dealers or whichever dealer got stocks better grab one fast.

Then quite similar, local unit FKBN87M/EB2 (aka Majestouch 2) SRP is RM409.

Wow not much difference. Perhaps i should consider getting local due to the warranty.

Does Filcos / Duckys spoil easily? What are the probability of requiring warranty?

So far only razer keyboard have problems.. dead switches and so on.. my side la.. so far sold plenty of black switches keyboard no problem..

Been using my Filco for massive gaming, no problem so far.

yeaps.. my 7G also vy good.. no problem playing sc2 everyday.. haha..

i saw realforce at Armygroup. It's the most expensive one at the retail...

PM me when the switches arrived..

I've used both and Filco has a shorter "travel distance" meaning that keycaps are "shorter", based on my experience.

soldered a hybrid switch ( brown stem black spring ) to my G2000. not bad

Just got a compressed gas can this afternoon. Can clean my keyboard when exams finishes. Woot.

where to get it ah bro?

Er. I live in Australia. Was out with friends just now to get some parts. Saw it at the shop. So just went ahead and bought it. Some computer shops in MY should have them.
