Combined with uber thin plastic stem under the keycaps


You are really hopeless.

The keycaps are molded EXACTLY as the majority of cherry keyboards, filco included.

What changes is the plastic, for an obvious reason.


ABS has the bad habit of not being transparent, so unlees you want an otaku backlit keyboard (I'm sure you could buy one of it, if overpriced enough :doh:) you have to deal with a different plastic

I wonder if these wobbly stabilizer issue is more of a key molding issue?  The Razer/Xarmor stabilizer doesn't look that bad in this pic.

Xarmor has no wobbly stabilizers, is the BW that has them.

but are you on another planet?

 

Sorry but I consider a real keyboard that I use everyday a better evidence than a stupid youtube video.

So yes, I'm living in a different planet than yours.

You are a really annoying Martian...

Please explain why Filco keycaps are not as wobbly as the XArmor's or the TVS Gold's?

Why so few people complaining about breaking stems on Filcos or DAS or Deck?

Do a quick search and compare the XArmor stems with Deck's and you will understand why.

Polycarbonate can be clear or translucent too, but don't expect that on a XArmor. Based on the rest of the design, they clearly have no intention to use quality material.

I'm done with you and your non sense. I'm not going to waste any more switch cycles.

You think the XArmor is great keyboard for obscure reasons. Good for you Marvin.

It could be photoshop.


First of all the keyboard shown in the video is a preproduction model as you can clearly see w/o any need of photoshop.

Looks like the "greatest keyboard expert in the world" knows any detail of any keyboard, even the pointless ones, but "strangely" omit any information about Xarmor, unless that details are usable to bashing it.

What a coincidence....

Oh wait, photoshop doesn't handle video well.


I had my doubts at first. I was wondering if it was total delusion or misleading propaganda.
Now I'm convinced he works for XArmor and gets 50$ each time he post something good about the brand.

He walks like a Martian and talks like Defendor


SolutOR, XArmOR, DefendOR... I see a pattern

Defendor was more likeable. Pure fun movie.

So, genius, tellme what keyboard uses PC.

No one use it because PC is damn costly, is hard to paint/coat, absorbs moisture and so on.

You should learn that when one starts pushing a wrong postulate, every sentence added to get out of mud, will decrease the reputation of that person.


So why not come back just when you have something of intelligent to write ?

Sorry to interrupt but, I ordered an xArmor with brown switches about 2 days ago on amazon and all of this talk about the dotted spacebars has got me worried. Are these earlier versions that have been failing recently, keyboards that were purchased a long time ago? I guess my concern is, what are the chances that I end up with a dotted spacebar if I just ordered it within the last few days? I guess there isn't much I can do at this point but wait for it to be delivered and see, but my curiosity gets the best of me sometimes.
Any confirmed cases of anyone receiving dotted versions through very recent orders?

I think only blues ones are lying around in dotted version.

BDW I purposely ordered a brown just to have a recent version and  was two months ago.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully you are right about the blues/browns. I'll post back here with my results when it's delivered in case anyone has similar concerns.

Bump.

There goes another dead LED at OCN.

Duckys not so Suckys.  Xarmor Xcompany.


Yeah, we have THREE known led failed over the whole production, we should count how many stuck, pinging, ringing, failed switches we had on filco boards in the same timeframe ?

I posted earlier today trying to decide once an for all between reds & browns, and ended up deciding to go with browns. Not being happy with my Xarmor's quality, I proceeded to order a Filco Ninja Tenkeyless. The Xarmor Gods were not pleased, as immediately afterwards the spacebar on my Xarmor broke clean off.

The spacebar on the Xarmor is smooth and not rattling or squeaking like the filcos ones, this is due to the different materials used.

The ones on the xarmor needs a bit of care and experience, the filcos ones can be dismantled even by an orangutan.

When I orignally got the keyboard I had to stop using my left thumb to actuate the spacebar, since it would also jam and/or trigger the alt key half the time; so I guess after wearing one side of the spacebar unevenly, the cheap plastic clip attaching the key to the stabilizer broke. What a piece of junk!

[video=youtube;FJEAag1pRnY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJEAag1pRnY[/video]

Oh, also, the rubber feet fell off the keyboard after a week, and I had to use sticky tack to attach it to my desk.

:wacko:

So, since you are practically a Xarmor rep what do you think it will be relaunched as?



That's incorrect too, you are a Filco rep, I'm just an happy user.

So ask yourself when Filco will be out of the middle age...
