Bought my Filco from Lowyat user, Edifier (https://forum.lowyat.net/user/Edifier). He occassionally replies to your messages. But good guy overall ^^

I bought 104 Filco Ninja! Now with Originative dolch keycaps ^___^

But I really wanted at that point in time - was a Tenkeyless white filco..

I paid roughly 90$+16$ SHIPPING = 106$ (USD). Pocket burnt. The reason I got into the mechanical keyboard hobby is because I fell in love with dolch pac/Dangwang's keyboards when I first aid my eyes on them. Things like novelty keycaps, modding, LEDs, Topre switches don't really interest me too much.

^_____^ Happy Keyboard collecting

Sup guise!

I am currently planning to spray paint a case using this:


To achieve something like this:


Any tips/guides/warnings for me or anything I should know about first?

Plate mounted keyboards makes your keyboard feel more solid, increases its weight and more stable to type on. The negatives of a plate mounted keyboard is it may have 'pinging' sounds.

Mechanical keyboards are gonna last a much longer time - compared to rubber domes. For me (excluding topre, IBM M model and other relics) its probably Filco followed by CM, not sure what comes next.

You should be more concerned with price, layout, mxswitch etc.

Yes, Razer focuses more on marketing so called gaming-features (most of which are completely unnecessary) to gamers, rather than making good solid products.

That said, I use a DA and it is awesome

Bump!

Thanks!

A 60% keyboard like Vortex Poker II will be hard to play certain games. A TKL will be better. Don't know which TKL keyboard to recommend though.

If you're willing to wait a while, Edifier (Fellow Lowyat User) has some MxReds in his next upcoming shipment. Got 2 options: 87 (TKL) and 104 (Full). The TKL one will cost less than RM400.
Feel free to contact him

Btw, how many months have you been using blank Pbts and have they changed colours?

Nice! Good looking minimalist keyboard - one of my favourites!

I dream of a custom kb, but very out of budget.

Probably need to sell off my graphics card. Hahaha

Any custom kb is good- more aluminium the better. Hahah.
My graphics card is normal only.. Asus 660ti : )

Yeah, should have worded it better.. I meant more metal in the keyboard would be better - e.g, case, plates, feet, etc etc
