Filco almost done (pexon cable, Cherry PBT, engraved spacebar, Superblacks)
« on: Mon, 28 January 2013, 22:28:41 »
Finished my filco so thought i would show her off, use her more or less purely for gaming. got my m15 for typing.

Original board was an ANSI, Beige, Mx red, TKL filco

Mods/Caps
=
Cherry beige/grey PBT keycaps from inlikeflynn, Caps lock modded by AKIMbo
Engraved spacebar by WASD,
Detachable braided cable by Pexon
Superblacks will be courtesy of Tinlong when i get around to paying for them  and putting them on etc.

Stock out of the box


WASD engraved spacebar with my handle on it


Cherry PBT


Pexon braided cable


Detachable cable mod done


Finished product



Only issue is that the f7 key is ever so slightly raised due to the detachable cable mode, i may try and fix it by making the detachable female end sit lower. i couldnt tell it would be like this when installing it.

Oh and i also intend to replace the winkeys with mx superblacks.

So yeah, all done :)
....sorta

shifts didn't need modding, but AKIMbO did the capslock for me. Did a great job!

Did you follow a tutorial for the detachable cable mod or just make it up as you went along?  Just as I fancy doing this to mine...

I was in the IRC chat when RougeR asked for some help. I posted up this tutorial. I think he used it? But you'll have to ask him for sure. Didn't mean to speak for your RougeR!
