Will other regions get the new keyboard colours?

Will other regions outside the USA get the lavender and orange variants of the keyboards? Will blank keyboards be available with the chassis?

I want to know this too. I think the listings on the store are pretty much placeholder for the moment, but would suck if itā€™s US only.

I also hope theā€™ll make at least one iso layout with the grey/black/orange color combo.

Another vote for this, if such a thing is ā€¦ a thing.

Great to see that the Windows key appears to be banished, but the addition of some colours would be greatly appreciated.

Adding onto this it would be very nice and would add a touch of ā€˜personalityā€™ and individualism to your machineā€¦ would want the different coloured keyboards.

The situation on the FW16 is equally frustrating with non-US users missing out on the new one-piece keyboard and RGB lighting :frowning: Itā€™d be really neat if the keyboard choices were a little more flexible than the single dropdown.

Hey, woah, slow down. The show of the one piece keyboard was just a heads up to say ā€˜we have this product line comingā€™. Iā€™m sure that once they get the final push of the FL13 Pro out of development and into production then some more time will be spent on the FL16 offerings they showed. There is only so much work that can be done at a time.

This is the reason I was unhappy with the FW Desktop. They have so much on their plate, and they are only worsening it. Iā€™d prefer they just release what theyā€™re able to worldwide then expand later. Rather than dump a load of products and not be able to reach all markets.

But an official ā€œin time we willā€ would be nice to hear regarding what theyā€™ve already dropped.

Yeah, hopefully for the FW16 owners theyā€™ll take a similar approach to the new one piece unit that they did with the input cover for the FW13, they seem to use a single machined piece that fits both ANSI and ISO layouts with the utilisation of some clever keycap shapes.

If I ever went for a 16 (possible in future) Iā€™d be interested in the single cover and Iā€™m a GB-ISO keyboard user.

No Orange ISO keyboard for the UK = No pre-order.
