Good day, guys.
I'm wondering why Filco is so highly (if not best) regarded compare to other keyboard brands.
Considering their price and features, are they kind of overprice? I've read about how people rave about their build and quality, how different it feels when it compare to other keyboards with the same switch. (I'm definitely not comparing it to Razer here) While there are other similarly or lower priced keyboard brands out there like Ducky and CM Storm. I bet their quality are pretty much similar or maybe Filco is slightly better. However, everyone (yes, ALMOST EVERYONE) seems to prefer Filco. I've also read about the stabilizers where people pick Filco for its costar stabilizers but this cannot be the only reason right? Besides, there are also other keyboard with Costar Stabilizers. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting the reputation nor the the quality or trying to insult Filco or its fan. And, please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm here to ask for opinions not arguments. My apologies if my words are
No sarcasm as well, I'm just curious about how each keyboard brands differs between each other when it comes to typing experience. Now, I'm deciding between Ducky Zero or Rosewill RK-9000 (with brown switch) as my second mechanical keyboard for work. I wonder if I should top up more for a Filco.
I'm currently using a Ducky Shine 3 with blue switch, besides dead LED, I'm kinda happy with it. You know right, after you start using mechanical keyboard, membrane keyboard like...
Have anyone brought their mechanical keyboard to work? I cannot be the only one who think about doing it.
Anyway, I'm open to suggestions and opinions on my purchase. Appreciate if anyone could point me to the right direction and explain why Filco is preferred by so many people out there.
I don't wanna spend too much as it is only for work and I don't need no fancy or gimmicky features. I just need a good keyboard to get me through a busy day.
Thanks in advance.
Refer to my siggy, and you will see Ducky, CM and Filco are all inside the list.
Well, according to unwritten rules here.. We buy, we try and we speak.
Filco is the best among all. Ya, Ducky is also a great keyboard as well as CM.
Mainly because the typing feel is the best, the consistency of actuations, actuation feel when it hits bottoms, sounds.
As simple as that.
The costar stab is good, nice to press on. There is another reason why I like costar, because I can mount warped spacebar keycaps on the stab and it looks balanced.
Back to your queries.. You should top up for Filco.
P/S: My daily driver is Filco (>80hours of typing per week)
