Just received my Fico tenkeyless :)
« on: Fri, 16 April 2010, 16:10:58 »
Got my new Filco tenkeyless with cherry blues today and I love it! The smaller form factor is nice especially as it gives me more room for my mouse. Because of this I'm no longer bumping into my pc case with my mouse (happened more so while gaming with my 104 key Filco) Strangely the blues in my tenkeyless feel just a bit more stiff than the blues in my 104 key Filco ever did, which is not a bad thing. Also, it's probably going to take a day or two to adjust to the absence of the numpad but I don't see it being a big issue. So far I'm a happy man. Let's just hope it lasts longer than my 104 key Filco did.

Pretty normal for the most part, the switches need a break in period in some cases.

If it's particularly bad you can use some force to tap the key repeatedly to the bottom for around a minute. And it should clear any obstructions or loosen it up a bit.

I guess you must have gotten used to the more loosened up rather than newer feeling.

There was a discussion about this a few days ago, I think most people reckoned that the Blues get better with wear... they lose some of their friction-yness.

There's no binding or anything. The keys just feel slightly more stiff

Congrats!  Yeah, they will break in quicky.  Less than a week.


Thanks! I was wondering when you'd make an appearance. :D
