filco quality bro.

The wobbling thing is interesting to me. I'm assuming yours was from Amazon. Me, MyNameIsFinn, and now you all purchased Filcos from Amazon that came in and wobbled.

I'd return it. If the led bothers you. The wobble can prob easily be fixed like mine.

which filco did you buy on amazon? and yours wobbles as well? its crazy because for my first mech keyboard i wanted to pick the best known of brand so i went with filcos from hearing quality etc is very good. but this is crazy that 3 keys dont register... and it wobbles.

Ignore anyone saying McRip Effect btw. Look for MyNameIsFinn's thread about his wobbles. It's possible your board isn't popped together all the way like mine was. I got the Yellow Edition Tkl.

so did you fix your wobble? but 3 of my keys just dont register... the print screen, scroll lock and insert. all dont register at all... using this on a imac if it makes any difference..

Yeah, iMacs don't recognize some keys you know. Weird Apple thing.

Insert though?

wow that mcrip thing llol i just twisted my board. and the wobbles gone.. thanks for everyones help, but let me try this on my windows comp. but i did http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/content/projects/MultiKeyDisplay.aspx and my print screen,scrolllock,pause and insert all dont work.

Awful · « **Reply #11 on:** Sat, 24 March 2012, 00:05:08 »

The McRip is someone telling you they think your product is acceptable. Wobble to a degree can be, but the degree that mine wobbled before I popped it back together definitely wasn't. Mine was about a half inch off and being tkl when typing with either hand it was bouncing around like mad.

same or better

at the same time it will also depend a bit on your own preference.

Do keep in mind their color offerings are not very vibrant (IMO), they got a bit of washed out feel to them.

what kind of look are you specifically looking for?

NorrisB · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 24 March 2012, 01:07:11 »

people like this are raising the price for my next Filco, anytime you see a thread about a Filco its usually the McRip Effect

Some people do call you that. Now we can add hypocrite to the list:)
This is an obvious QC problem for FILCO.
Why arent you whining about FILCO's QC issues?

slueth · « **Reply #24 on:** Sat, 24 March 2012, 05:00:04 »

Because ripster just labels it The McRip Effect and the newbies suddenly think he is a keyboard God and we should buy more filcos...

QC issue when there is no problem with the keyboard?

mickd · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 24 March 2012, 05:08:32 »

He's probably talking about the case not being fully clicked together. I wonder if it was like that as it left the factory, or if it happened in transport.

What? Did you read the OP?
Of course there was a problem. And in this thread was mention of others having the same problems.
That my friend is a classic QC issue.

If it was just the one keyboard then you might be right. But in this thread the problem seems to be had by others.
QC problem.........
And I am only giving the Filco fanbois a hard time. They love giving it out but cannot take it very well:)
