Linear lovers, check out this Varmilo's electro-capacitive linear. Apparently it is very smooth due to its contactless design.

Typing sound can be found on that guy's channel, sounds pretty good too!

this was debuted last year iinm, but i waited until i forgot i was waiting for it. went to varmilo's official site just now, nothing yet. i hope it will be out soon

too many things to wait, till u forgot what to wait

not exactly 'too many', fortunately haha

Just checked out the massdrop re-cap, duh, less than a day, most full sets already sold out.

What is clone, what is real? lol
Ducky using their in-house red stabilizer for years.

Ducky One 2 is their new keyboard, with minor tweaks. But, the keycaps are collaboration between the Akko x Ducky = Hardcap.
Yes, they do have full size keyboard.

Same rule still apply, you hype you buy, no hype no buy.

Hahaha... It's finally here.

Wow.. Nice selection.. Finally vortex is back.

.. cis no cherry mx red? wtf?

i think it's destined for me to get mf87 elsewhere :/

still no mx silent

that esc and del key on vortex rac3; really need to think hard for this 75% because of the dsa profile.

susah :/

now i just realized that mx silent red/black is actually rare in the market.

I think this has been asked 2 years ago?
Is it still worth or safe to buy Filco from Taobao?
Looking at the local online retailer for the keyboard is more than twice as expensive, and it doesn't seems like anyone carry this brand anymore in Malaysia.

should be alright as long as it's from reputable seller. (check the reviews)

It's alright.. You can buy from taobao. Everblow is the distributor in china.

I never know local selling over 1000 ringgit for filco.. China is selling at least 550 ringgit per keyboard.

I just sold my last filco last week (RM 399). Finally~ It's hard to find a buyer, since the demand really really less.

Aww, I should have asked here last week, yours full size?
I am looking for full size since I need the numpad lots from now on.
Taobao is the cheapest I can find online, many retailers also didn't store any Filco now.
Too good a products, lasted way long till shop close door.

maybe it's because of its look and packaging. good stuff like filco are not really attractive to most first-time mkb users, unless they learned about the brand from user comments before. their looks and packaging are really low profile, especially when you put them among those recent bling-bling competitions.

filco boards here are cheaper than most parts of the world, and yes they last like forever, or until its internals reached their respective shelf life (which are still very long relatively).

i have both tkl (399) and full size (299 without kicap), also sold last week. No more.. Since, no alternative, buy from china is the best option.
The distributor still in malaysia, but no demand, so no bring in the stocks anymore. The est cost will be like 500 ringgit inclusive GST even if it's happen.

We can have RM 450 White filco here last time by groupbuy through distributor, meanwhile china charging at RM 800 (1.3k rmb), because they able to sell in china due to high demand.
Yes, we are the cheapest last time, at RM 369 for normal filco tkl. But, time passed, it's only legacy now. #rip

Although Filco no more.

Costar Taiwan (filco OEM), did make the similar board for Cooler Master MasterKeys PBT.
Using costar stabilizer still, but with the pbt keycaps and at RM 359 price range.

I have 1, later i take some photo to show here.

Wow, nice call, I shall wait for your review of the typing feels compare to Filco.

.. then hopefully cm masterkeys pbt can be the next good reference board with costar stabs. there are 2 things that i think make boards with costar stabs like filco superior:

1. solid space bar and modifiers (with minimal or no rattles, very smooth up-down key movements); you simply cannot find the same level of such qualities in most cherry-stab-based boards out-of-box, except for the only few;
2. easy to add/maintain lubrication to make these stabs even better.

most people said it's 'very hard' to replace key caps for costar-based space bar and modifiers. the truth is, it's not as convenient as cherry stabs, but it's NOT hard at all.

one question: did cm masterkeys pbt solve the thick cap issues for costar stabs?
