Sumptuous geek
« on: Wed, 05 December 2012, 23:05:38 »
Hi there,

i already own my filco almost 2 years plus, but not so get into keyboard, especially keycaps. Just lately become hooked up after reading TONS of thread here in GH (dunno why i suddenly go to this forum), but i guess there no looking back right now :P

I live in Singapore but personally i am Indonesian, work at one of the biggest IT company (cant say their name) and excited for every element of IT world news that comes up. Previously i am PC modder (not so expert, but all i can say i am ok). Still like doodling with my computer and stuff.

Lasty, i also collect toys (Sideshows, Hot Toys, threeA, ect).

Hope this little info of me could make a good introduction here in GH.





Thanks a bunch guys! :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

That says a lot for the reliability of Filco.  Are you able to use it at work?

Perhaps we will tempt you to buy another keyboard, if nothing else then at least to try a different switch type.

Or some custom keycaps perhaps? :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

What type of switch does that Filco have? Which others have you tried? Welcome to geekhack.

Welcome to GH. You might also want to join the thread in VF-zone with more singaporeans chatting. Lastly, if you need to ship anything back from US, you know who to look for.

The sumptuous geek title is just so ...weird sounding.  It's like you're describing some kind of rich and heavy cake.
