where to buy filco keyboard at malaysia ?

check garage sales before asking, tq

Can any tell me which mechanical keyboards is the best choice amount people? I I also prefer tenkeyless type..

state your budget, else, go for Topre.

just got my filco majestouch 2 in blue body, brown switch. the build looks solid and durable. just wish it can last up for ten years. haha.

Congratulations! Unless you abuse the thing, the case will last more than 10 years for sure. The switches should be OK too for 10 years. One of my Kinesis keyboards, which is more than 10 years old, has MX browns that feel nice. (It's funny how different the switches feel on different boards.) But if something goes wrong with the switches, they can be changed easily. If the controller goes bust, that might be a little trickier but still possible to fix. Not sure if you will want to go through that much for a modern Filco though.

BTW, it is customary to take some pics of your new board and share them with the community.

LOL, this +9999

I must say nice skills and knowledge they had there. Controllers having many tiny pins, and it is hard to get them done without messing it up. A little bit of soldering iron left can lead to short circuit and the new controller probably gone again.

Some others even more hardcore, purposely buy those faulty boards/PCB and revive or made new boards from them. sohardcore.jpg

Just use it for another 9.9 years to proof that it can last 10 years.

really? 10 years I hope I can do that to stick with one keyboard for 10 years but sadly every 6month made me want to change ady

And according to current computing trend, keyboard may be obsolete or extinct in less than 5 years of time. Though, I guess that won't stop us from playing around with keyboards.

Red alert coming soon!

can provide link to the topic?? my friend got a faulty DK1008, thinking of replacing the controller

In Malaysia, I believe it is better to claim warranty for it if still under warranty.
Ducky is just distributed by distributors in Malaysia, not sure if they can/will supply you the replacement controller. Somemore 1008 kind of EOLed already.

problem is the keyboard bought frm taobao way before ducky had distributor here

Hmm, thats a problem. BTW, how do you confirm that is a faulty controller?

no response when plugged in

troubleshooting:
changed USB cable = no response
changed laptop/pc = no response
windows not detecting anything

okk, nvr been to that section b4. ty

Had already open up and see the PCB? Maybe some part burnt or broken?
