No you're not.   Anybody that loves his Filco Brown THIS MUCH is OK with me.  Plus you write well.  Don't see much of that lately.

My search for the perfect PC keyboard is over.
In all fairness, I am waiting on yet another keyboard in the KBC Poker group-buy, albeit still with browns. Looking for the perfect sub-$250 portable.

And another thing: Thank you!

Plus he has the best avatar at Geekhack.
If my count is right, there are 2 people who have stated another opinion...and two (you and I) who agree with the premise.

Too bad about the Glee thing.
I hit a wall on this one.  "The Glee Thing"?

GOT IT now.  Something's wrong with search or how I use it, I looked for this using my username and the word "Glee" as filters...came up with zip.

I also love the avatar.  Should've won the meme contest. If I was the judge, it would have.  :)

Hey!

haven't deviated from my original opinion

Going through that thread I see frequent examples of one of my pet peeves...linking to external images and then nit ensuring those images stay accessible.

Aren't we all! I have a Poker w/ Browns, and an MJ2 with browns, and they're worlds apart. The Poker feels nothing like the Filco. The Filco feels crisp, whereas the poker feels soft and pliable. I'm guessing it's because plate mounted browns feel much different than PCB mounted browns.
