Nice, detailed review! It's the first time I've seen someone praise Filco keycaps, haha.

Oh, do many users not like them? What do people replace the keycaps with? (just curious really).

Yes a nice review of the old favourite which is the FILCO keyboard. I still love them for their quality and of course, extremely easy customization here on Geekhack.
Currently there are so many Group Buys running you'll have quite a choice in selecting which key-set to buy for your Filco. Currently I'm mad for anything in an SA Profile :thumb: .

No, most people prefer thicker keycaps actually that don't shine. Filco keycaps are thin ABS so they shine pretty easily :( Otherwise it's a solid board.
People replace them with PBT keycaps usually.

Not a fan of the Filco caps at all.I bought a set of caps from them and they shined in like 4 months. If I ever buy a Filco (which I will eventually) the first thing I'll do is throw some thick PBT on it.
Leslieann:
The Filco caps are ABS, as are almost all double shot keycaps.
The Filco caps are printed, not dye -sub (which stinks), but is more durable than other printed caps I have used. Many people can get years out of the stock caps before the legends wipe off, others may only get a few months.

Are they just UV coated, or are there other ways to make pad printing last longer?
