Hey, I have had my filco for about 1 1/2 months now and I got this weird ping sound when I press keys with with a stabilizer. What is this? xD
thanks for the input.

Yeah it's happened to other members as well, I won't continue further with why because nobody knows yet for 100% certainty.
What I do know is that Diatec is unwilling to actually remedy said problem and will tell you to %$^# off

What kind of switches does your Filco have? It's an intermittent issue.
Please see the Ping poll for more info (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18739-Have-you-experienced-the-Filco-quot-ping-quot-noise).

Wow that's the first I've heard of this issue on a board with reds.

Great, I must be the really unlucky one haha... that or red owners don't notice the sound :P
The funny thing is that I was using this board earlier today and did not experience this sound. I will update if it goes away/changes.

Is it a momentary ping, or a sustained ring that lasts for a second or two after you press the key?

I press key---> hear noise, maby 1 or 2 seconds when I press then again when I let go of the key. Space bar is affected (if at all sometimes), but not as much as bs/ enter. Shrug. I did replace the keys (bs and enter only) and grease them, but then again the enter key on the numpad that i did not touch also does the ring and I did not touch that one.

My full sized Filco with the reds pings all over the place. My tenkyless Filco with the reds has absolutely no pinging.

Such a weird and sporadic issue.

"Can switching to GEICO really save you 15% or more?
Do Filco owners over-analyze every little thing?"

It seems like full size Filco gen 2 have pinging issues. My full size Filco red also pings. My tenkeyless Filco 2 brown doesn't ping.

Please see my thread about this issue ^

My Filco seems to ping, but I don't really care. Every keyboard I've had has made some sort of weird noise. If it weren't for reading the posts around here, I don't think I'd even have noticed or realized that it was an issue.

mine is fine , no issues whatsoever.

Just received the Linear R and I am enjoying it as much as my Filco brown board. Both boards ping a bit on some keys, but I don't normally hear the pinging over ambient sounds. Since the red board is new, I am paying more attention to its actions, but even then, it sounds ok to me. Man, I like the build on these boards -- solid foundation, efficient layout.

It is quite normal metal resonance. It depends on weather, your table material, and your keyboard's component (keycaps, switches, plates) and your finger force.
Compared with a rubber dome, my Filco brown is much more noisier and pinging a lot. Who cares? Headphones are invented for good reasons.
