So.. my original plan of getting a filco is kinda 'scraped', or at least put on hold for the time being. it's gonna cost a bomb, much more than i thought, for me to bring in a filco for myself.. and i'm just not prepared to shell out that much dough
Then i read about the ABS M1 in the various threads here and they've all been rather positive. Coupled with the fact that i actually do have a friend in the states who can help me get the board and ship it over without incurring extra agent/commission fees makes this board very very reasonably priced.
The way i see it, going with the ABS M1 can't be that bad a decision, right? It almost sounds like i'm convincing myself that i'm making a right choice, but really, there's not that much info on mech keyboards other than this site.. or at least in english, making it a challenge to actually find useful info.
60USD with free shipping for the ABS.. or 150USD for the filco?
Btw, was it ever confirmed what switches the ABS use? I've seen some people say it uses alps, and some say it's just the clone, so is there any decisive word on it? Also, how's the noise level compared to the brown cherries?
