Not sure.

Have you heard of the Quacked Ducky problem?
Ducky's quack, can't see how can you find a problem?!

This stuff is just turning into FUD.  Soon the forms will be rampant with people crying don't buy Filco. Go Deck or Ducky.  Razer sales will probably start to rise.

Cherry Corps Ping too.

 
Neither of mine do. I'm pretty sure you still don't understand what we're talking about here.

Actually it's really not so much a "ping" as a "ringing".

FUD alert!

It looks a bit like that we have a "ping mass hysteria" out there.

so do the resonance only happen with filco plate mounted or any plate mounted? i could hear the resonance with the filco but not the others. Maybe it's that thing where as you get older you cannot hear certain frequencies, like the mosquito ringtone.

Did I mention it was a B♭?  Wasn't expecting to hear a B♭ either, just some nice Cherry Brown clicks.  Yet then I hear a B♭.  Does my mind think I should be hearing a B♭ when I press a cherry brown key?  Wonder why it doesn't think so on my KBC Poker then.

Are we agreed that #156 is what we're talking about?

Now that I've heard a sample I can hear that from my MJ-1 tenkeyless w/ Browns if I put my ear to it.  From pretty much every key I'd say.  But I had to hear the example first to really pick it out.  

To me that suggests that the noise is there from the Cherry switches, probably on all of them, but it is picked up and/or accentuated differently by some kind of assembly difference on individual boards.

I have two FKBN88M/*2, one FKBN88MC/GRB2, one FKBN87M/EB and one FKBN87MC/EB. I haven't noticed any ping so far. IMHO Filco do not disappoint.

In my case, it was similar yeah, just quite a bit louder on a couple of the keys (Backspace in particular). I'd be inclined to agree it is more likely a Cherry issue than a Filco issue. Majestouch mentioned in another thread that he'd heard more issues with this kind of switch noise with browns more than other Cherry switches for whatever reason. I can't imagine it is really a widespread problem, honestly.

That (#190) is definitely the noise I heard on the PCB mounted try board.
And I only heard it on mx browns.
I think it comes from the spring and the metal plate amplifies it.

It sounds similar to these [video=youtube;CJnAbPrmJNA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJnAbPrmJNA[/video]

Damn dude, you should RMA that one.

Or type differently.

RMA, what fun is that?  I'm going to figure out how to fix it.

You didn't nail anything, you just consistently deny the issue no matter how many times it comes up.  Not something to be proud of, even as a shameless fanboi.

In order to be considered the #1 keyboard expert you have to tell people you are constantly. You also have to always be right.
