Title: choc pro mx browns vs filco mx browns
Post by: looserboy on Wed, 15 June 2011, 18:43:07

well here i am, cant decide between them. but looking at the prices and the manufacturing quality i should go for the choc pro it seems.

i want to buy a choc mini mx browns for travelling (this is 100% for sure) but
a big one for home  the das, filco or choc pro are my favourites. the end run made the filco vs the choc pro and i think buying the choc pro would be the better deal
what do you think besides this choc pro advertisement slogans :D iich are funny too :-)
i

"later i want to put the brown springs into black mx switches to get "reds" and maybe change the keycaps with white doubleshots"
and this should be awesome on the choc as far as i have read the forums in here.

any argument against the filco vs the choc?

Can't you just buy a red switch choc pro?  Saves you the hassle probably later.

edit:
ill try a zowie celeritas with browns. best and cheapest way to test brown mx switches. after that i will know what to buy finally.

ah and the filco is dismissed against the choc pro because of the price and manufacturing quality  + better keycaps as far as i have read ... no one has had any complaints :-) easy story..

maybe some filco fanboys? ;-)

Eventually you will buy both keyboards, so which the first keyboard is does not matter at all.

Which your leg goes out of your door today?

I am typing this post on this board right now. And I couldn't agree more :)

And with that photo, the good name of Filco is "soiled" forever.

Ping!

Hey, do you wear those when you're hoping to get lucky?
