Arrived safe and sound here in Canada, thanks!

ericbentley - that is one nice setup. What are the specs on that desktop? -Athlon II X4 640 -ASRock 870 Extreme3 -Sapphire HD 5770 And a few terabytes worth of HDD's The monitors are Dell 1905FP I don't really game much, so it suits my needs, might upgrade when Haswell comes out though Here's my ma...

Here's my man cave of sorts

The optimum would be a TKL that has a setup where you could still have the functionality of the arrow keys (without holding down anything) and the functionality of entering hi bit characters using the alt held down while pressing numbers method. The ultra optimum TKL would add full NKRO over USB, (...

It was a hard decision, because I use both for different things, but I chose fullsize Having the ability to use it if it's there is great for calculator applications, and I play a number of games that use it That said, on my laptop, I'd prefer tenkeyless, just for the fact that I only type things, t...

Holy cow, this eBay markup is insane then!
What is the average price they go for on GH or DT? How do I know if I'm being taken advantage of?

As someone who's just watched this ClickClack controversy from the sidelines, I don't really know what's rational anymore. I see people arguing all the time that someone has theirs priced too high, is tricking n00bs, or is messing with the market Could someone inform a helpless n00b here of what the...

I was just browsing eBay to see what they had in store for keycap selection and came across this guy selling a Filco Majestouch with yellow keycaps for what seems to be three times the going price of retailers If I wanted to get one and I didn't live so close to an NCIX, eBay would probably be my on...

I asked this question a while ago somewhere else and got both TypeRacer and Typing of the Dead as answers, and I love 'em both
I've noticed a 10 wpm increase after practising for a month or so with TypeRacer, and I find Typing of the Dead is a good way to stay "limber" I guess

Bumping this because we are 12 keys from the next price tier and we still need someone to handle the Europe end of this group buy. At a quick glance these are all the countries people have ordered from besides the US: Australia France Germany UK Sweden Denmark Canada Ireland Norway Slovakia Italy S...

Looks like Crayola's rebranded "SKU 624" and added some more color into it's life

The new Apple keyboards are actually a type of scissor switches, not rubber domes. I know because I've had a few with keycaps popping off!

This is one of my favourites too, I recommend it to all my friends who can't spare the cash to go mechanical

What would his righteousness recommend as a wristrest for a Filco Majestouch 2 104key? I used to use a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 and found the wristrest soothing as I tend to drop my wrists, and I hear that the Steelseries 7G wristrest is also quite comfortable. I am not opposed to soft wristwrests e...

Interested in a Poker, what would be the total cost to get it shipped to Canada?

MonoSky wrote:The distributor will ship directly to you.
I don't know if it will be cheaper if you do a local pickup.

Ah I see, I'll just wait it out to hear from your other distributor then

Quick question, for this group buy would all the boards be shipped to you and you ship them to us, or are they shipped right from your distributor to us? I was wondering, since you live in Surrey, Canada and I live in Coquitlam if we could just do a local meetup to get rid of the hassle and price of...

Dear great Oracle, What would his righteousness recommend as a wristrest for a Filco Majestouch 2 104key?

How about something like this? Not sure if that'd be possible, I don't know the full process that goes into keycap making and the possibilities http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/500x_custom_1265827803653_mb.jpg The logo from mirrors edge would be cool too, always a fan of that ga...

Hey, I just filled out the form to order one, but my friend just told me he'd want one too. Is there anyway I can add more to an existing order so I don't have to pay shipping twice?

Hate to bump an old thread but if anybody's wondering anything about it, I walked right into my local NCIX and picked up a Majestouch 2 with browns. They only had one full size in stock and 3 TKL in stock, all 4 with browns, but they stock more online. Just wish they had the accessories to go with t...

Interested!

He's selling the wasd sets and puller from the Filco kit. Maybe he'll ship to Canada.

Thanks! Just replied to his post

Checked there, he doesn't seem to have them By luck of the draw I was browsing Craiglist and to my surprise someone was selling a Filco Tenkeyless but in the picture they had the exact keycap set I want I messaged him, hoping he replies and I can buy them from him http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/v...

Does anybody know if the Das Keyboard caps would fit well on the Filco? NCIX sells them at a reasonable price, and it seems to be just what I'm looking for Would the angles fit well or would it be awkward? http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=67151&vpn=WASD-BL-KS&manufacture=Metadot Identical keys to ...

Email sales@elitekeyboards.com. Its quite possible the ones that he has for sale are from the stock he got from diatec when he was selling filco. Even if not, the leopold font is really close :p I've emailed him, waiting for a response Does anybody know if the Das Keyboard caps would fit well on th...

You may have to deal with the company by contacting them directly or you can have always have someone be a middle man for the shipping. Having multiple items shipped to one person then distributed is quite common in this community (as you can see from the marketplace). BTW welcome to Deskthority! S...

Hey guys, new to Deskthority, and the mechanical keyboard world I recently picked up a Filco Majestouch 2 after a little bit of research and references, and went the average route with the Cherry Browns. I love it, love it, love it so far, but was wondering where I could find some of the keycaps for...
