Filco vs WASD - solidness + feel
« on: Sat, 24 March 2012, 15:56:47 »
Hey Guys,

i'm owning a filco tenkeyless and i absolutely love the sound, weight and solid feel like i'm actually typing on a thick piece of steel.
I would like to hear your opinion about WASD build quality and how the impression is compared to a filco. Does it feel just as massive? Just as compact? I know their quality is top notch, but how about those fine differences?

Thanks in advance, Bird.

Same oem, costar,, so, essentially the "exact - same" quality where it counts.

But here's what I don't like about the WASD,, the bezel,, Ugly,, loose fat feeling, compared to the filco.

The wasd feels very solid to type on. I love it. Just hate the size. It was my first mech and it is the standard i hold all my other boards to as far as typing goes.

Even if the WASD was better than the Filco, the Filco is Tenkeyless and of such high-quality that they're gonna be my choice for a long time.

What indication do you have that one is higher quality than the other??

I've only used a Filco, but according to my research the WASD is more solid feeling. It has a better cord, uses thicker plastic, and everything comes pre-greased and adjusted from the factory.

People who have both will tell you the WASD feels more deadened, with less resonance.

Ripster, while a nice fellow, is in my opinion a bit biased in his keyboard reviews.

agree.
He is very knowledgeable about keyboard, but he is biased against anything that is not a Filco.

I'm typing on a Filco right now.
Filco TLK ninja Blue switch.

I also have the wristrest. I have to admit it feel nicer than I expected. I just think Filco is overpriced.

I'm using my WASD with blues right now and it feels great. It's very solid, and after a few months of use ping is unheard of. Every keystroke is very smooth.

I haven't had the opportunity to test it against anything else, however, because I've not been able to afford any more mech boards. Besides that, I'm happy enough with the WASD that I could just use it for several years.

No, I never said that. I have heard word of mouth say that one's better but the Filco is good enough for me. If WASD comes out with a TKL then maybe I would check them out.

My WASD feels nothing short of amazing. WASD is coming out with a TKL 4th quarter of this year. Needless to say but I already have money set aside for a WASD TKL with reds/blacks (I'm typing on a WASD with browns)

That's when I plan on picking up a WASD, and plan on going bananas with custom etched caps. Until then, Filco and Unicomp will do just fine.
