keyboard does not set flat, it wobbles ever so slightly...

[jksteger]

I purchased a Ducky TKL with Black Alps to complement my Green Alps one.  I love the Black Alps, these are my favorite by far!  The problem, and this is driving me crazy, is that the top right and bottom left wobbles.  I have to slide a business card under either to top right or bottom left to make it quit wobbling!

Is this something worth trying to send it back from where I purchased it from or ask them to send some replacement "pads" for the corners?  I've got a little tape on the top right pad to make it set correctly but now it doesn't 'grip' the desktop as much as before.  I though maybe my desk was not level so checked my other keyboards and TKL's and no wobble, it's def. either the case or the pads!

What would you do?

Thanks,

Man, that seems to be an annoying issue. To me, having to always use a card or something to offset the height difference is just not something I am willing to do on a brandnew keyboard. I would first see if I can locate and address the problem itself. Maybe the little piece of rubber on one of the feet is oddly shaped and can be adjusted with a file or something. If there was no easy way to take care of it, I would just RMA.

thanks for the insight.  that gave me a thought, maybe i should pry the rubber feet/pad, whatever the technical term is for it, LOL, and place the piece of tape under it.

I will give that a go!  If that doesn't work then I will RMA.

Try putting it on a different surface and see if it wobbles. It could be your desk too yah know...just double check it.

Both of my QFR's will wobble if I push them further to the right on my desk. When I move them back to the center where I type they do not wobble.

Or you can always place a face towel under the keyboard.  It fix the wobble issue and make your keyboard sound nicer too 

If you think towel look ugly try mouse pad or desk mat.

Arg, this drives me crazy too.  I have had 4 different filcos and 3 of them wobble on my desk.  In my case though, I think it's partly my desk.  Problem is that you can't really do a whole lot (easily) with rubber pads.  On keyboards with plastic feet, you can at least shave them down a little bit.  But I use a plastic membership-type card under one corner.  Can't see it, but I know it's there.  Grrrrr.....
