I am going to buy a Filco Minila keyboard.  Does anyone here use this keyboard?  How do you use it?  is that good? Give me some advice. Thank you  :)

This never took off because people complained about the zxcv row being off.   If you notice it is slightly offset what a standard one would be.  For some this works fine..for others it is bothersome.  It gets worse because your R-Shift is also off and it is a 1x key for that keyboard.

I'd look elsewhere...if you really need a board like that there are some good 65% boards that are less of a compromise...

Hello !
I use a minila Air as a daily board (brown switches with o-ring dampeners).

We were granted laptops at work and I wanted a wireless board to go with it.
I also use a razer Atheris for the mouse, and it makes a pretty decent combo.
I can use it at the desk, or bring the pack with me for meetings.
Since it can be paired with several devices, I used to use it with my laptop + an ipad on the side for mails.

It's a good and sturdy board, but the custom spacebar and right shift key can be troublesome if you plan to personalize the keycaps.
What else do you want to know about it ?
