    I did a couple random locations around the world with a rough weight, they were all about $15. However if you order, I'll get everything packed and re-do the weight, so it might be a bit cheaper. And if it's over $15, I'll just eat the difference.

    It depends on the wood but for a TKL about $45 with a wood like cherry or walnut. I think you should still be able to see the pictures even if you aren't a GH member (if not sign up :D).

    I'm a member of GH with my mighty three posts! I'll probably pm you here or on GH when I'm ready to make an order.

    One thing to keep in mind that is I'll be going back to college soon so the stock I have left is what you'll be able to pick from. Or wait until after Christmas, I have a month long break that I might be able to make more during.

    Just ordered a PLU-87 in white with red MXs and a blue case for it. Not sure what key changes I'll be making. That can wait until it arrives.

    So i got a corsair K60 a while ago, but I find the non-mechanical keys quite jarring to use, while loving the rest.

    What would anyone recommend for a TKL ISO layout with mx browns?

    I figured i'd like to try browns as my one issue with the reds has been mis-doubletapping (i'm not releasing the key far enough). I've read about and it sounds like the browns might be better for me.

    Filco TKL are approx £120 + vat from The Keyboard Company.

    No it's £120 including VAT

    i would recommend a CM Storm Quickfire with Browns from Scan. They are on preorder atm, but expected in August. Identical quality to Filco, but the design is a matter of personal preference.

    Rapid is a great choice, even if you don't like all the branding it is easy to buy a few keycaps and vinyl wrap it and still come out at almost half the cost of a Filco.

    The CM is a great first board, seems to be as good as the Filco in all aspects apart from the branding and the size of the USB controller which won't be an issue unless you are going to change to case!

    Just thought I'd give an update on the portal keycaps.
    Got an invoice yesterday, so will start PMing people for payment and postal addresses etc soon, althoguh I'm currently on holiday, and so getting any extended access to the internet is difficult, so it may have to wait till I get back (Sunday)
