In that case, Amazon has Filcos in stock. Supplied from Keyboardco. I have no idea how long shipping is going to take, but I'd figure if it says "Fulfilled by Amazon" then they already have it in their warehouses.
Alternatively you can try PCHome or Armygroup. Use the guides from Geekhack (which have been posted in this thread as well as the majority of the other mechanical keyboard threads) to help you order a board. Shipping is fairly quick, you can receive your board in a week or two.

I checekd Amazon and all they have is red switch apparently for 160+bucks and red switches are worthless, so I will try PCHome or Armygroup. Thanks for the tips.

From a FPS gaming standpoint, reds are the best switches to use. Low actuation plus linear force makes for a very awesome gaming keyboard. In fact, reds have been the new craze on forums like Geekhack and OCN. The reason why everyone has been jumping on reds now is they weren't widely available a year ago. With different keyboard manufacturers like Filco, KBC, and others now jumping on the bandwagon you should see the red switches rise in popularity.
From a SC2 point of view, a lot of players use the SteelSeries boards which have black switches. Removing 20g of force while still having a linear feel? Throw those blacks out and get reds instead. Makes it much easier on a player's fingers when doing anything with the keyboard.
If you don't mind missing out on the tactile bump that blues and browns provide, why not give cherry reds a shot?

Well, I wanted blue because of the awesome annoying sound. But I guess I will look into the red switches.

ayone here using a ZOWIE Celeritas? I ordered one yesterday, should be here within the next few days.

I use a Logitech K300, and it fits me like a glove. I got it for extremely cheap on boxing day (12$... normally around 40$) I love it because it's compact, EXTREMELY quiet and very comfortable to game and type on. Most standard style keyboards tend to give me hand/finger fatigue over long periods of gaming... but this keyboard doesn't give me that at all. I started playing SC2 on a laptop so I think the key shapes are a perfect balance between that and a standard keyboard. The key presses themselves feel perfect to me... perfect distance and registration feel, unlike many others.![[image loading]](http://www.pcdistrict.com/modules/productcatalog/product_images/144297-logitech-k300-1100.jpg)
I even tried switching to a mechanical keyboard (Razer Blackwidow) just recently to see if it would end up being better. The only purpose it served was further emphasizing how perfect the logitech fit me. I returned it for a full refund after a week. Mechanical keyboards are cool and all that jazz, but they're just not for me.

Anyone here with a Das keyboard and living in the US purchase from the Das website? How long did it take for the keyboard to ship to you overseas?
|

I'm confused as to what this means, Das is based in the US and only officially ships there. Mine only took a few days to arrive.

I've only had mine a week or so but since the keys are laser etched I have my doubts that sweat will make the letters come off lol.

I'm thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard.
Right now I'm just using a cheap Fujitsu Siemens (not mechanical).
Just curious how much better a mechanical keyboard is. I'm thinking about the STEELSERIES 6G V2 GAMING KEYBOARD

better get brown or blue switch keyboard, blacks are good but with brown, blue or red you will see much bigger difference than on blacks from rubber dome

Well, after you've gotten used to a mechanical keyboard an ordinary keyboard will feel like a sponge.
