I saw there are 2 trader in LYN selling new Filco 104 (Full Size) for around RM369.
Not bad since normal price stated still >RM400.

You can always choose to stay with the same layout full-size.
TKL or 60% just preferences of people.
For my thinking, full layout is more keys, suitable for gaming since can map alot of macros.
For 60% layout, really a good productivity keyboard.
But, everyone will hope to get better keyboard.

If you visit this thread daily, I believed you can't tahan the poison for very long time.
Sure will change to Filco soon.

In your siggy, I only saw TKL Filco.
Ya, I agreed with you about the smaller layout keyboard is better, since, for me, keyboard mainly used for typing.
But, currently I think the standard layout, the "\" key still far from my pinky finger. Still not convenience to type on.
Not ergo enough.

You should study hard for your next year spm.
Sometime, your spm determine your future path and mkb path too.
Buy when you need it.

3 fullsize headphone? haha
So much.. I believed each one also more expensive than a mechanical keyboard.

Baru know, moogle kit d founder from Malaysia.

This is Cherry Stabiliser


Costar Stabiliser

My ducky shine is cherry and filco is costar.
Personally, I think costar able to make my spacebar feel more even if I'm using those custom keycaps.
Cherry stabiliser feel like custom spacebar is tilted.
Problematic keycaps able to fit nicely on my costar stabilisers.

Regarding durability, it's the same.
Each kind of cherry switches have lifespan of 50 millions operation life cycles.

You can try blue and see. I believed it is quite tiring to type on green.
I managed to type blue during morning, noon.
During night, my fingers already reached fatigue level, then I will type using MX brown keyboard because lighter a little.

You should try all the 4 mainstream cherry switches and topre switches and make you decision which to buy.

Personally, what MX blue good for typist because, when pressed down it sounds "clicky" when the key registered.
My fingers muscles responds to the sounds and I know whether the key is been pressed or not.
p/s: My typing style is touch typing, so never see the keyboard, sometime really no see screen too.

This is my current MX blue keyboard.

For MX brown, i personally think is a very great switch, very very nice to type on. Never feel tired or reach fatigue if type on MX Brown.
Only 1 flaw, I'm not 100% sure whether I really type correctly, my fingers muscle not able to respond accurately due to non-clicky sounds on MX Brown.
Just my 2cents.

Recommendation: brown or blue or mx clear, if you are programmer/software developer/web/writer
If Engineer, cincai choose 1 (doesn't matter)

Somehow, my muscles listen to clicky sounds
Both of my keyboard is tactile (brown, blue), with addition blue is clicky.
I personally like brown because of its lighter switches.
If blue is lighter then is better.

in the future, try to use text expander app or program to boost your productivity.
Remap your keyboard layout to your needs too will helps. i.e. qwerty/colemak/dvorak variants or other variants type of layout
example, I remapped my backspace to caplock, escape to backquote and many many more.
Looking for people with great keyboard layout can share with me, the optimum and best productivity layout.

Text Expander example software. In fact, there are some program already adapt to this features.
Make your coding easier. Hope it will helps for your future too.
What language you normally code on?
objective-c? html? php? python?
edit: Text editor like sublime text have built-in text expander.

With the help of mechanical keyboard, I personally experienced that the productivity is boost as much as twice.
To me, mechanical keyboard is a must for people always type

Great info. What you said is probably true.
Tactile is sure lower in the life cycle 20m whereas non-tactile is 50m.
From what I know, the switches will finally fail due to fatigue failure.
Few methods can fasten the process, that is, you always type (stress on it), seldom let the switches rest. So, it will failed prematurely.
If seldom type, will able to reach life cycle of 20m and above.

p/s: experience from my own fyp, "Finite Element Analysis and Fatigue Failure of steel"

edit: the beauty of mechanical keyboard is, we're able to change the switches individually if broken

What things on the keyboard can we fine tune? for better typing experience
- lube spring, stabilizers
- keycaps
- casing
My knowledge is limited. Anything miss out?

If really too noisy, then put o-rings a.k.a silencer on keycaps


I think the MX Blue "clicky" sounds nice to listen

Can you try it on other computer and do not install synapse driver on it? Wondering the result is..
Normally is from driver itself. Honestly said, razer driver software really bad quality .
If still occur, you download software like autokey and disabled those keys that triggering.
If the triggering keys jump randomly to other keys, then let us know.

Please see this thread. Same as yours I think.

p/s: Razer Mamba user here Used many of the Razer products before..
Personally, I think Razer really rubbish if I stand on neutral sides.

ur idea is great..

Just like this.. different weight on different fingers.

Ur middle just put red. Since black and red feel similar except the heavier spring of black.
brown got tactile feel..
Recently see this idea very nice.
Or use green and blue.

You change ur Filco middle to tacto-blacks (MX brown with black spring).

Then modifier use Clear, spacebar use Green and White on escape.
Seems like ducky78, all switches also got.

Is there any pcb mounted keyboard that are TKL or 60%? Any recommended?
