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/appliedscie...eyDisplay.aspx and my print screen,scrolllock,pause and insert all dont work.

I fail to understand why you are arguing the point? It came with a QC issue. Having to twist the board is a QC issue.

Are you also going to whine if the LEDs are not exactly equal in brightness?

If it was just the one keyboard then you might be right. But in this thread the problem seems to be had by others.

Yeah, for sure. I'm just wondering because it appears everyone that had this issue got it from Amazon. Might be something to do with the way the shipments are sent from thekeyboardco to amazon, or from amazon to the people.

I forgive you for not reading the thread for it is long.

Remember my brothers, perfection is something I strive for just like Jiro and his Sushi.

I quote the 8th post and I read every post before it.
It is pretty clear he refer to the OP.

This type of stuff is one of the reasons Filco's are so expensive and making my next Filco even more expensive than it already is :frusty:

Truth is a idea in the mind of a crazy person. QFT

I like my Filcos but I'm warming to the HHKB and Unicomp (BS feel nice, but the board is just way too big)

Truth that Apple keyboards don't have 3 keys is pretty easy to understand.

And the wobbly thing? Who among us has not wobbled from time to time?

The wobble thing has to be a amazon issue I'm thinking. CM Storms are same manufacturer, no wobble issues. Haven't seen any non-amazon filco issues since I've been here. Sounds like the shipping or fulfillment centers where the 'wobbly' filcos were stored is the issue rather than the manufacturer.

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

He is a prophet for the Lord, Filco.

You know there is a search on this forum?
You can search "filco problems" or something to that effect and come up with threads about issues with Filco's.
All keyboards have issues.
Except Filco's which are perfect. Any problem you have with a Filco is not really a problem of Filco. It is an Amazon problem or a mcrip emotional issue with the user. Sometimes it is the user that is responsible when he must twist a board to fix it. But it is never a QC issue with Filco.

You're making issues out of non-issues.

edit: for the record. My scroll lock LED is only about 1/2 as bright as my Caps lock. OMG FILCO QC FAIL.

Still spinning.. Dont get dizzy....

Is that all you got? Spinning Filco to liken a crippled dog. There are better boards and there are worse boards. What you're doing is just reaching. Why not focus on the real issues of Filcos?

I did. LOL you are the one who posted pics and such. You are the one who is acting like the Filco white knight.
I said already in a previous post that Filcos have much the same problems as other boards. You and some others are Filco fanbois and that is ok but just admit it already.

I did not post any pictures.
White knight because I pointed out to you that OP has no problem with the board?
I don't think Filco is the best quality keyboard, but if it makes you sleep better at night to think that. Sure why not.

You did not post pictures. You posted a link. You were sarcastic to anyone who had an issue with their Filco. Are you really saying I should have read your posts differently?
If you can show me how you supported the contention that they are beloved in here for no substantial reason over the other boards then I will admit to not understanding your posts.

Totally just McRip effect. Nothing is ever wrong with a Filco.
Remember there is a filco board that have pad printing on the switch and not the board.
Riptser and other filco fan screamed it is photoshoped,then clickclack come out and confirm it is a real problem.
People seems just can't accept they are rip off.
Also don't tell me to buy a Filco, I'm typing on one right now.

The guy right below the video said that he fixed it by gently turning it, like the others who have had the issue. I wonder if this was ordere through Amazon and that could be the common denominator. The pad printing thing on the switch isn't widespread is it? I wouldn't think that 1 mistake would define Filco as a company that has a "real problem". I would hardly call Filco a rip off.

Mine all seem level. Make sure the keys are fully pushed in.
