Hi everybody,
I'm not new to this site in terms of lurking activity :-) I speak italian and a little bit of english.
I was addicted to rubber dome keyboards before I discovered mechanical ones and my computer life changed forever.
Now I'm a mechanical keyboard's advocate and I love to bother my coworkers about this "mania"

Filco - nice :) Any particular reason you chose brown switches?

When I ordered the keyboard I chose the "clicky version" (blue switches) but they sent me the wrong version (brown switches). I never complained because I'm an impatient person. They also mistook sending me two A keycaps and no S keycap in a set of 4 violet WASD keycaps. Anyway it's a beautiful keyboard and I love it :)

Fair enough. Sounds like an eventful start to your collection.
But do you have a nagging curiosity to find out what blue switches are like? Hehe wonder how long until you get another keyboard ;)

I know how they feel because a few months ago I bought a Cherry G80-3000 with blue MX switches and italian layout from a local reseller. But after getting used with tenkeyless layout it's hard for me to use a full layout keyboard. To compensate, I'm now waiting for a Ducky Shine II with blue switches UK layout :)
I also own a G80-3000 with black switches wich was my first mechanical keyboard. After some time spent in using it I felt it was too hand fatiguing for me considering that I was in the beginning of my touch typing learning experience :-)

Aha! You already have experience of a few switch types - good :)
Just wait until someone tries to convince you to try a Topre keyboard.

There are only 2 reasons why I haven't tried Topre yet:
1) The supercharged price in Europe
2) The lack of resellers accepting payments in €

Supercharged prices everywhere ;)
