Inflation for you, inflation for you, inflation for everybody....!!


That said,  this is good for the planet, so, assume we don't kill ourselves in this,  it's actually kind of in the right direction, Climate wise.

I like it a lot, and it is very healthy. My big problem is that it goes from hard to mush to quickly and I often forget about it sitting on the kitchen counter until it is too late.

That's the exact thing we're trying to avoid.... people- LEAVING, 


Drumpf is incapable of being anything but an angry, mean-spirited, toddler.
He has spent a lifetime getting his way by inflicting pain on everyone except himself, and can't comprehend why it is not working this time.

To stay updated about the set.



● Intro ●

Hi everyone! Here is KKB Cobalt, my first keycap project. I have set out to release a set of keycaps because of the frustration I had seeing so many beautiful sets releasing (more specifically made of quality ABS) - but none in my local layout which I love, so I ended up asking myself "why not giving it a try?" and here we are. Of course, it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna support other layouts!
For the design I wanted to do something sober but with a slight flair, being inspired by GMK Blanc sur Noir I really wanted to see how the tulips would look on a deep blue set of keycaps, and boy I wasn't disappointed.

Keyboards / Re: Diatec, known for FILCO keyboards has ceased operations

Notice
Thank you for your continued patronage of Diatec Co., Ltd. and our products.
We apologise for this sudden announcement, but as of April 22, 2026, our company has ceased operations (closed down).

We express our sincere gratitude for your kindness and support over the years.

Diatec Co., Ltd.

The Filco keyboards, and especially Filco Majestouch and Majestouch TKL had a role in kickstarting the mechanical keyboard hobby.
Back in 2010 when I registered here, it was one of the few widely available contemporary mechanical keyboards you could buy.
It was only available with black, brown or blue Cherry MX switches back then, in a cheap plastic build like most office keyboards of the time. But most other keyboards discussed here back then were vintage models.

Not long after, the keyboard market exploded with many competitors offering less expensive keyboards.
A lot of evolution has happened in the commercial keyboard market since then.
FILCO never kept pace or reduced their price that much, although, in 2023, they did release a split 60%.

Earlier, they have also rebranded keyboards from Strong Man and Ortek. One notable keyboard was a Alps keyboard with colourful keys shaped like a dinosaur: the Filco SMK-8851 Dino Kaijū.

User Bpiphany (previously known as "PrinceValium") had designad replacement innards with programmable controller for the Majestouch TKL: the Phantom. When designing the plates, he also invented cutouts for opening Cherry MX switches from the top without desoldering.
He also made replacement controllers for the Majestouch and a few other keyboards.
I never had a FIlco myself, but I bought a Phantom set that I built a beige retro-case around, and it has stayed my daily driver at home for 10+ years, and also built a 70% from a cut-down Phantom plate.

Honestly not surprised they couldn't keep up with how much the market shifted toward custom hotswap stuff and crazy budget options over the last few years, but those old Filcos were built like tanks. Mine still works like new sitting in a closet somewhere.

This discussion on avocado consumption is intriguing! I never thought about how its popularity fluctuates over time. What do you think contributes most to people’s choices in the "curve rush" of food trends?

If the issue is with keys not registering, I’d start by testing the switches individually and checking the solder joints around the affected keys. A loose or cracked joint is pretty easy to miss, and touching it up can sometimes fix the problem right away.
