Title: Filco Stingray or Others
Post by: Foclock on Wed, 05 June 2019, 22:50:44

Anyone have the Filco Stingray? If so, what do you think of it?

I'm currently searching for a new keyboard so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. LED keyboard suggestions are welcome.

I currently own the Filco Majestouch 2.

You should go for a Full size Leopold. They have better key caps and not costar stabs.

I don't dislike them much but my Stupid Filco doesn't accept JTK/Cherry spacebars because the metal wire is in the way. Filco MJ and the Zero are my last costar stabs keyboard i will ever use.

If I remember correctly, there are wires you can buy for the spacebar that do not interfere with any caps.
