[NYC]

[NYC]

my insert and scroll lock and pause are all not registering...and the keyboard is not flat it wobbles... this sucks.

[slueth]

filco quality bro.

[Awful]

The wobbling thing is interesting to me. I'm assuming yours was from Amazon. Me, MyNameIsFinn, and now you all purchased Filcos from Amazon that came in and wobbled.

[NYC]

filco quality bro.

yeah from amazon... so now what should i do?

[Awful]

I'd return it. If the led bothers you. The wobble can prob easily be fixed like mine.

which filco did you buy on amazon? and yours wobbles as well? its crazy because for my first mech keyboard i wanted to pick the best known of brand so i went with filcos from hearing quality etc is very good. but this is crazy that 3 keys dont register... and it wobbles.

[Awful]

Ignore anyone saying McRip Effect btw. Look for MyNameIsFinn's thread about his wobbles. It's possible your board isn't popped together all the way like mine was. I got the Yellow Edition Tkl.

so did you fix your wobble? but 3 of my keys just dont register... the print screen, scroll lock and insert. all dont register at all... using this on a imac if it makes any difference..

[NYC]

Yeah, iMacs don't recognize some keys you know.  Weird Apple thing.

Insert though?

wow that mcrip thing llol i just twisted my board. and the wobbles gone.. thanks for everyones help, but let me try this on my windows comp. but i did http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/content/projects/MultiKeyDisplay.aspx and my print screen,scrolllock,pause and insert all dont work.

[Awful]

The McRip is someone telling you they think your product is acceptable. Wobble to a degree can be, but the degree that mine wobbled before I popped it back together definitely wasn't. Mine was about a half inch off and being tkl when typing with either hand it was bouncing around like mad.

[hxu1]

yea i say u return it and get a new one

[NYC]

okay well i hooked it to my other pc and everything works out fine. thanks for all the help again ^_^ the wobbles gone and all the keys work proper.

same or better

at the same time it will also depend a bit on your own preference.

Do keep in mind their color offerings are not very vibrant (IMO), they got a bit of washed out feel to them.

what kind of look are you specifically looking for?

[NorrisB]

people like this are raising the price for my next Filco, anytime you see a thread about a Filco its usually the McRip Effect

Some people do call you that. Now we can add hypocrite to the list:)
This is an obvious QC problem for FILCO.
Why arent you whining about FILCO's QC issues?

[slueth]

Because ripster just labels it The McRip Effect and the newbies suddenly think he is a keyboard God and we should buy more filcos...

QC issue when there is no problem with the keyboard?

[mickd]

He's probably talking about the case not being fully clicked together. I wonder if it was like that as it left the factory, or if it happened in transport.

What? Did you read the OP?
Of course there was a problem. And in this thread was mention of others having the same problems.
That my friend is a classic QC issue.

If it was just the one keyboard then you might be right. But in this thread the problem seems to be had by others.
QC problem.........
And I am only giving the Filco fanbois a hard time. They love giving it out but cannot take it very well:)

I fail to understand why you are arguing the point? It came with a QC issue. Having to twist the board is a QC issue.

[laffindude]

Are you also going to whine if the LEDs are not exactly equal in brightness?

[mickd]

If it was just the one keyboard then you might be right. But in this thread the problem seems to be had by others.

Yeah, for sure. I'm just wondering because it appears everyone that had this issue got it from Amazon. Might be something to do with the way the shipments are sent from thekeyboardco to amazon, or from amazon to the people.

The McRip Effect

LED not lighting up is cause by McRip effect?
Seriously?

[Exort]

I forgive you for not reading the thread for it is long.

Remember my brothers, perfection is something I strive for just like Jiro and his Sushi.

I quote the 8th post and I read every post before it.
It is pretty clear he refer to the OP.

[NorrisB]

This type of stuff is one of the reasons Filco's are so expensive and making my next Filco even more expensive than it already is :frusty:

[mrmatt]

Sometimes the level of stupid makes my head hurt.

[captain]

Truth is a idea in the mind of a crazy person. QFT

I like my Filcos but I'm warming to the HHKB and Unicomp (BS feel nice, but the board is just way too big)

[NYC]

This was m first mech keyboard in general and pretty much im a newb so anyone trying to flame get a life... Everyone that has helped thanks a lot also to ripster for giving me right info and basically had my keyboard fixed.

[NorrisB]

Im glad you decided to keep it!

Thanks bro so am I =]

Truth that Apple keyboards don't have 3 keys is pretty easy to understand.

And the wobbly thing?  Who among us has not wobbled from time to time?

The wobble thing has to be a amazon issue I'm thinking. CM Storms are same manufacturer, no wobble issues. Haven't seen any non-amazon filco issues since I've been here. Sounds like the shipping or fulfillment centers where the 'wobbly' filcos were stored is the issue rather than the manufacturer.

[reLapse]

Because ripster just labels it The McRip Effect and the newbies suddenly think he is a keyboard God and we should buy more filcos...

He is a prophet for the Lord, Filco.

I was wobbly at Woodstock. Were you there too?

You know there is a search on this forum?
You can search "filco problems" or something to that effect and come up with threads about issues with Filco's.
All keyboards have issues.
Except Filco's which are perfect. Any problem you have with a Filco is not really a problem of Filco. It is an Amazon problem or a mcrip emotional issue with the user. Sometimes it is the user that is responsible when he must twist a board to fix it. But it is never a QC issue with Filco.

You're making issues out of non-issues.

edit: for the record. My scroll lock LED is only about 1/2 as bright as my Caps lock. OMG FILCO QC FAIL.

[silat]

Quite a bit before my time.

Have you settled down yet, Brother?

I still wobble occasionally:)

Still spinning.. Dont get dizzy....

[laffindude]

Is that all you got? Spinning Filco to liken a crippled dog. There are better boards and there are worse boards. What you're doing is just reaching. Why not focus on the real issues of Filcos?

I did. LOL you are the one who posted pics and such. You are the one who is acting like the Filco white knight.
I said already in a previous post that Filcos have much the same problems as other boards. You and some others are Filco fanbois and that is ok but just admit it already.
