Only on your second board? :))
Maybe get a Ducky one if you don't like costar stabilizers.
Take out the white plastic stabilizers from the "rattly" keys and put them in wrapped in a single layer of teflon tape (pipe tape). Then also grease the stabilizers (I've seen Mechlube from EK being recommended as good stabilizer grease).
Teflon tape? What is it? (sorry, I don't know :( )Show Image(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT7tbiAb8C5aJ_NoJQGaiz178Y4YH-Sho4a5pJTx9hnbOQldePnrA)?
It's very thin stretchy tape made with Teflon; it's used to wrap around threaded parts of water pipes to seal pipe joints:Show Image(http://www.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/13f/8/AAAADD4YEVoAAAAAAT-MTA.jpg?v=1301561307000)Show Image(http://411plumb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Plumbers-Tape-Teflon-Wrapping-Pipe.jpg)
Alternatively you could try thin transparent wrap that you wrap food in to store in refrigerator.Show Image(http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/fresh_film_cutter_box_Saran_wrap_cutter.jpg)
No, I'll take a picture in a minute.

Exactly..
OP, your already made a grave mistake in your first keyboard.
Now is the time to correct that mistake...Show Image(http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/df13952b.gif)
I don't now why but I feel that you are trying to troll me =))

He more or less is :) I've updated my post with photographs.
Yes, both of my Filcos. It does help. And make sure you insert the white pieces correctly (they are not symmetrical, so the direction matters).
The pipe tape is more for those caps that don't fit snuggly. If yours fit well and don't wiggle, you don't need to use the tape. The grease is to reduce the "jitter" sound and make the wires move more smoothly in those white plastic inserts. Otherwise I think some of the rattling comes from slightly deformed / bent stabilizer wire or warped spacebars (in case of PBT spacebars, but yours is stock ABS and is most likely fine).
If they are fine, I'd see about bending the stabilizer wire slightly upward.
Lubing the stabalizer inserts will get rid of the rattleing. :)
So I've solved my problem with rattling :) and now I'm going to buy my second mechanical keyboard :)
Maybe there will be a chance to get it in 2 weeks from USA (I hope my friend will find some place in his luggage :rolleyes:)
So What would you recommend as second TKL keyboard?
WASD V2 on Clears or Leopold on Browns from EliteKeyboards? Or maybe to wait for Ducky Shine 3 TKL? Another options?
Thanks in advance!
V2's with clears are actually back in stock as of Monday, I believe it's CODE keyboards that will be w/o clears indefinitely.So I've solved my problem with rattling :) and now I'm going to buy my second mechanical keyboard :)

V2 with clears is out of stock indefinitely.
My personal opinion on Leopold is that it's the 3rd best keyboard brand, only surpassed by Filco and any sort of Korean custom.
Shine 3 is alright, but I don't get all the hype behind it.
Personally, I'd say try and get a Filco, but if you can't, grab the Leopold.

We won't have any more Clear switches for approximately 12-14 months. This applies to both CODE and V2 keyboards.
Well, I'm confused then because I was just able to customize a V2 104 with clear switches, I thought they said they had a reserved batch of them for custom v2 orders..V2's with clears are actually back in stock as of Monday, I believe it's CODE keyboards that will be w/o clears indefinitely.So I've solved my problem with rattling :) and now I'm going to buy my second mechanical keyboard :)

I have actually done the exact same thing as what you are doing.
I have a Filco TKL with Browns at home. I replaced the keycaps with PBTs and that keyboard is absolutely awesome. I love it.
I originally bought a Cooler Master Quickfire TKL with Blues for work because it was on super sale, but the blue switches just don't work for me. A co-worker loves that keyboard, so he is currently using it. I replaced my work keyboard with a Filco 104 White Ninja with Red switches. Coming from Brown switches, I am still getting used to the Reds. It is at least a comfortable transition though. I still think that Browns are my personal favourite switch, but I am also very happy with my Reds. The main reason I changed my work keyboard was because the transition from the browns at home to the blues at work drove me nuts.
The browns definitely make more noise than the reds do. If you are concerned with how loud the keyboard is at work, you may want to think about a linear switch. One other thing to consider for reducing the noise is to add an o-ring mod. I have o-ring mods on all of my keyboards and I think it makes a huge difference when it comes to typing feel and noise.
I stand by my decision to buy a TKL for home because I wanted to keep the keyboard smaller. I chose to get a 104 for work because I am a developer and typing IPs and netmasks on a TKL all the time can get annoying. I have the space at work, so its not a problem...
I am very happy with my Filco keyboards and I would recommend this brand to anyone.
Not sure if that is helpful at all, but I figured my experience was relevant...
Good luck and enjoy your new keyboard. :)
Leopold FC700R has cherry stabs and has PBT caps

Then save up for it :PFixed :thumb:
Its totallyalmostworth it
My first keyboard is Filco MJ2 TKL on Browns and is upgraded with o-rings :)
My colleagues are not against this keyboard so I don't have to choose linear switches =))
I was thinking about another one Filco but I'm not ready to spend 200 $ again =( So I was hoping to find another option (but the same built quality)

I just bought my new Filco on NCIX for $100. They have pretty good deals now and then, so it is worth watching. It was $45 off.
I agree that the Filcos are a bit expensive, but I think they are worth the money. Especially if you can get them on sale.
