How big the difference Das vs Filco MX Brown/Blue?

[simingma]

Hey guys,

Had a Das with MX Blues, and KBT Pure MX Brown, to be honest not impressed by both. Since there are so many of you Filco fans, wondering whoever had the chance to use both could tell me if there's any difference and which is better.

Thanks!

What was so not impressive about your Das or Pure? The Das is somewhat similar to Filco, but depends on what aspects you're talking about.

Feel of the switch. I heard there are differences in a PCB mounted and plated mounted. But just curious if there's any different between two plate mounted (Das and Filco).

My very first decent mechanical KB was a Das. Comparing it to Filco, both have steel plates, so feel differences will be negligible, if any at all. Both are also made by Costar, so you'll probably also be disappointed in Filco. There is nothing Filco or Das can do about the switch though, because it's from Cherry. Your best bet is to try other switches to see if you like those more.
