I never told people about my FILCOs, but my relative's faces when I told them how much I got the Model M from Taobao was priceless.

At first they were like : Wow such old keyboard, how much you got it for?
And then they were like : You got it for Rm100?? Are you nuts?

OT: @WSL, try call Dell and see if they are willing to refund you the difference from the coupon discount. Should be doable if you your monitor is still within the return time window

A forumer once told me that his ex-employer threw away 20 to 30 units of those.

Oh well too bad then. Could've be a good reason to get a drill to bolt mod them and then sell them for cheaps.
I've tried asking some PC recycling centers via email but thus far no luck on getting them

EDIT: Maybe we can do a group buy and ask recycling centers to source them in bulk for us

LOLOLOL that face, its super duper priceless! All my friend who visited my house and used my comp and they loved with the feel of brown switch, when i told them about the price, they go shocked, and i explained how it works until some of them poisoned lol...

Xarmor U9 (Chinese Keycaps Non Backlit) for NT$1890 + Shipping (NT$590)
can recoup some of the shipping if you buy some of those yellow FILCO keycap set to resell, or just buy a few. I checked shipping for 2 Xarmor is about NT$690

Dayum, blue black plate for cherry blues.
Looks like leopold style keycaps? Another project but them Koreans?

My keyboard history (chronologically arranged):

1. Logitech Clavier Multimedia Keyboard USB (still works today, probably more than 6 years)
2. Logitech G15v2 (2 years plus, now not using)
3. Filco full size keyboard, redswitch for home (bought this year)
4. Filco full size keyboard, brownswitch for office (bought this year)

I doubt I will be changing keyboards for awhile. Unless, my Filco keyboards go bad.

Ask Cyclone to do a bulk since he knows them koreans better s
FYI, 89000KRW = RM250

Can't confirm this but the construction looks like DK1008 type topcover-less

How much RRP for this?
Last time your RRP got discount by up to RM50. So give actual one lah

The SRP is RM439.
You can nego with the dealer, they will give u discount

You're right. At first i was comparing it with a AMD Radeon HD6990M graphic card and i was undecided....
Until i realized that graphics card will be outdated in like 2-3 months, and mechanical keyboards wont and they only get more expensive....something like antiques...
So i decided that mech keyboard is the way to go!!!

Now no more manufacturer making buckling spring mech keyboards? From what i found, those who used buckling springs, they said are better than MX blue switches...

Wa... price is very competitive to Razer's MX blue Black Widow....
Here got sell?

Awww no NKRO. Would like to see a NKRO version of it.

It's new. Don't expect it to be here anytime soon. Only way is to bringing in yourself.
