i love the purple one.. i gave it away to whoever bought the novatouch from me. bye.gif

As much as I love Filco, it makes me wonder they don't wanna update their product as the competitions are so much more intense now (Leopold, KUL, Ducky). At least a removable cable? Wonder if there'll ever have a mj3. They've become a little like iPhone now.
*
that's a really bad comparison.. at least Filco was good from the beginning. rclxm9.gif

it's probably because they know that no matter how big the competition is.. they are still the classic good and premium board.

What makes a good comparison then? I'm comparing non-mainstream/gaming brands like Leopold and KUL (yeah, we can put Ducky aside from this). For example Leopold, it has that awsomely thick 1.5mm PBT keycaps, removable cable, sound dampening pad (appeal to some at least, not me), some has modded cherry stabs (again, personal preference). Well, at least there's . Don't get me wrong man, I LOVE Filco, in fact I have 2 Filco board. Aside from being a prestige brand, it's just that Filco has to have something right.
Afaik, the only Filco with removable cable is Convertible 2 biggrin.gif
Was so hyped for Ducky back then when they released the Shine 3. But now, it's kinda meh.
And yeah, they've doing constant "promotion" for their board which makes them a bit like a cheapo brand to me.
*
i never knew leopold had modded cherry stabs, and they still have a pretty fucked up spacebar, solid wise.. i'd still pick Filco. sure they offer thick pbt keycaps.. but i'd still change them because they are ugly. (same goes for Filco)

i owned a few leopold, noticeably FC750R.

ducky is that keyboard that we should recommend to people on budget before they go for razer, but maybe build wise, leopold and filco is top.

and that is with Filco, they did everything right.

RGB? gimmicky (even those that has rgb usually has problems after awhile, that requires them to desolder, which would mean trying to go for warranty, and sometimes they would get denied, led fail to work - like CM rapid i)

what else.. removable cable? eh maybe i would go for that one, i would really want my own cable, but filco cable has never failed me.

keycaps? maybe that's the only thing for me that they need to improve. god damn those abs shitty keycaps.

It's called, "floating keys" design. More commonly seen in the form of Corsair's K65 and K70. There's also Varmilo's VA87M

Not everyone has the budget to go custom, im saying this even though I hate those stock abs keycaps. It's there for people who just got into mechkb, or has the budget to only have 1 keyboard.

Better keycaps = more budget for manufacturer, in the end, they will use this chance to drive the price higher and use the "premium keycap" as a gimmick.

Ehhh I understand... Custom at least 50% more expensive, but trust me in the end it's worth it.
What tip you want? Just plug and play la.

Custom is never 50% more expensive.. it's ready to empty your wallet, lose your left nut and sell your kidney.

one nice thing about custom is, you can stretch your budget across a few months.
as in, you don't sekaligus get all the parts, that's why it's also called building your own custom keyboard.
and that's what i did when i'm building my nerd tkl.
i bought my parts from different places and different time, depending on my budget.
overall it took my about 3-4 months to collect all my parts (including research and switch&stab modifications)
and 5-6 hours in one seating to assemble it.

wallet, checked, still there despite all the hole patch.  sweat.gif
left nut, checked, still functioning very well.  whistling.gif
kidney, checked, still there.  laugh.gif

i saved some money however from harvesting old switches from old keyboards instead of getting new ones.
but to be honest, i purposely wanted old mx black switch because the older generation of mx blacks (aka vintage blacks) are much smoother than the new ones.

and i also opt for acrylic case where it's so much cheaper than aluminium casing or cnc cases  sweat.gif

yeah, i've spent a total of close to 12k on mkb, i finally got out of it, and now im going back in again. someone stop me! puke.gif

Getting my Bluetooth Filco MiniLa today. I am going to test it out with my Malaysian PC and a bluetooth dongle.

Excited to use Filco mechanical keyboards again. I previously gave the Filco full-size mechanical keyboard (brown switch) to my dad. Although he has no idea what is a mechanical keyboard (or the switches) for that matter but he has been enjoying the keyboard for more than 5 years.

Even though mkb market is growing but its market is still considered kinda niche. Budget mkb still significantly more expensive than most of the  keyboard. Majority of customer willing to pay more for a quality built instead of some budget crap.

it is what it is i guess, surprised it costs 300 :/
