My KBC Poker pings more loudly and with a higher pitch than any of the Filcos I heard in this thread, not sure what all the fuss is about.

RMA it to iMav.  He said if you have a problem like this it's the reseller's responsibility to make it right.
Neva! My daily driver is a Model F, so iPing for life!

Real men don't put up with brand new $150 defective merchandise just because insecure admin-favorite forum trolls who can get polls deleted by request because they don't like the result attack and belittle them relentlessly without any consequence.

I wish Filco customers demanded better key caps as often and as strongly as they demand ping-less boards.

Filco caps are bottom rung on a "premium" keyboard.  I propose we change directions here and focus on something filco/diatec can unquestionably fix for us.

The causes of ping need to be further investigated (preferably by vendors/manufacturers; but our hobbyists are resouceful and inquiring, and already seem to be presenting solutions)

Caps not ping!

I decided to RMA it for credit and buy another keyboard.

Good call.  If they give you any flak that it's normal, point them to this poll.

A German Filco owner posted this sound clip.

This means just that the majority of the people here, find very hard to admit they have spent a bunch of money to get a pretty average board.

I'm sure psychologists have an exact word to describe this behavior.

I don't understand this whole ping issue. Buckling Springs ping all day, and nobody complains. My Model F pings more than all these pingy Cherry boards together. Buckling Spring users unite!
