Title: Broke the Legs on my Filco
Post by: Incognetus on Sun, 20 March 2011, 13:19:26: I slammed down on my keyboard and broke the legs that stand it up. You know the tilt.

Now I need to get a new set of them. Any idea where I can do that?

On another note, why can't they make then out of metal or something. I keep breaking these plastic ones.

I got mad. Slammed my fist down on it. I need to aim for my desk rather than my keyboard.

On my old g15, I taped 2 pens there cause I broke those legs too.

I got my keyboard through Amazon so I sent an email to KeyboardCo

Did you slam on those too? Perhaps anger management course might be in order before you break any more legs. lol =P

Where did you buy your board? I lost a riser last year during travel and the store where I bought the keybaord sent me another one. Even nice enough to give it for free. I think Elitekeyboards no longer sell Filco's but they might still have few for "support" purposes.

Funning thing... I found back the riser 6 months later at the bottom of my display box.

It is also made to withstand the abuse, but try not to kill someone with it.

Did it owe you money? :P

I never use the legs anyway, feels weird if it's not flat for me.

I just get frustrated easily. Which is an issue.

I got it through Keyboard Co via Amazon. I sent them an email already (I'd call, but I don't want to call England). Also sent one out to EK.

EDIT: ****, I think my escape key is broken ><

nah you are so awesome. You could probably funnel that frustration into something marketable.

Post by: Chobopants on Mon, 21 March 2011, 12:28:21: This thread makes me sad. :(

Even when I was playing WC3 semi-pro in college I would make sure I'd go punch a pillow when I got really frustrated losing a tough match. When you can't even channel your anger into saying "maybe I shouldn't punch this $150 keyboard that I love" that's scary.
