Title: Blue bi-color Vortex DS PBT arrived today!
Post by: jester_ on Sat, 03 May 2014, 20:54:30: They feel great to type on, but I don't know if I'm crazy about the 40A-L o-rings I installed. Will soon swap out all the blacks for clears on this Filco:

No problem, I wholeheartedly agree. The italic set was truly bad.

Nope, check the album pics, there's one with flash where it looks properly white. The rest of the pics were under unnatural light.

Got blue o-rings on mine, and I am lovin them! Course, I wish I had Browns at this point, but the blue dampeners make them tolerable.

Yeah I ordered a set of blue o-rings along with my wife's CODE (w/ clears) from WASD and tried them on a few keys on Filco, I thought it would help bottoming out but felt too squishy. So while I was waiting for these to arrive today, I pulled off every red o-ring from my WASDv2 Deadpool board and put the blue o-rings on that one instead. That one has browns and feels pretty good, I think I will go for stock clears with no o-rings on this Filco though. Can't wait to have the swap done!

Thanks! Updated main pic with better view of the white in case SpAmRaY didn't look through whole album :)
