My filco is finally here


Damn Kangaroo Express kidnap it for 4 days before sending to me....
A quick newbie review - the Filco definitely feels much more solid than the QF TK I had previously. Weight is like 3x (but it's 104 keys of course)....
Keycaps (stock of course) have a rougher finish - maybe that'll help reduce duration before it shines......this made a pretty big difference compared to typing on the rubber coated QF TK. The rubber coat adds too much fiction in my opinion....keeps catching your finger - cannot let go.
In terms of how it sounds - the difference is smaller....I probably type a bit less loud on the Filco than the QF TK (both on MX Brown switches). I'm still too hard on the switches though (coz I use rubber domes at work). The tactile bump of the MX Brown is barely felt for me.
As for the style of the stabs, this is what I feel:
Space bar: Costar >>> Cherry - the spacebar is so damn solid on the Filco - it's a bloody joy to hit right now
All other mods: Costar == Cherry. Frankly a little disappointed here. All the Filco mod keys feel as wobbly and as flimsy (and makes the same ringing noise) as the QF TK.
That's from 1 hour of usage....maybe I'll love it more in time....
You can mod your future custom board to cherry and costar mix maybe? : p

Not sure... I don't own one.

I hate Costar stab keyboard. Boo...

Costar so good meh? Sure that aren't placebo effect? BTW, I think it's normal for the Costar stab to be wobble. But that doesn't mean they are fragile. But the indeed feel fragile and took me longer to change keycaps. Not to mention inserting the white stab can be PITA especially when I don't have my mood.

I thought you liked costar stabs?
