Title: Help, jiggly Filco!
Post by: hashbaz on Tue, 26 July 2011, 17:23:41

Just received a Filco Majestouch-2 tenkeyless in the mail.  Hurray!
The left-front foot doesn't quite make contact with the table, causing the board to jiggle up and down as I type.  Boo!

Other keyboards don't have any problems on my table.  Five sheets of paper is enough to even it out.  Is there an easy solution, or am I sending this thing back to Amazon... :-\

Buy a new table.

You can try twisting it slightly back into shape yourself. I had to twist mine ever so slightly, that fixed it for me.

Grip it on the ends and twist it a little. Maybe Ying Yang Twins can help, they know all about jigglin...

Yep, that happened to 2 or 3 of my Filcos.  A twist of the keyboard while you hold the keyboard on both ends with your hands will fit it.
