Finally got my Filco! :D
« on: Fri, 04 February 2011, 12:54:53 »
After 3.5 weeks of waiting. It was FINALLY delivered to my front door.


Its so much more sturdy than I was expecting, being used to the blackwidow (not built very well IMO) Also the keys are allot more soft that I imagined. the build quality is awesome! And it just looks plain sexy!

I am pretty pleased with my first Filco. This thing is gonna be around for a long time that's for sure!

edit: forgot to mention, it has brown switches

(Sorry, horrid quality, shot with ipod touch)

Congrats.  3.5 weeks must've seemed like an eternity.

Waiting for keyboards does suck. Especially when you work all day anticipating coming home to a box sitting next your front door, and it never happens. Then it just builds more anticipation for the next day because you think, "well It didn't come today, it will surely come tomorrow"

It's pretty cheaply made. Something has always bothered me about it too. I'm not really sure why.

I wouldn't say its a BAD keyboard, Just not good for a mechanical keyboard I guess
