Filco's rubber feet/legs a few questions
« on: Sun, 01 March 2015, 12:01:23 »

http://www.keyboardco.com/product/filco-legs-one-pair.asp

1.  Do they fit WASD, Leopold Keyboards?
2.  Do any other company's use similar feet?

They are very similar to WASD feet, but having measured mine, I think they might be just a little too big to replace the WASD feet.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Looks like Filco legs might be compatible with a few keyboards:

Although bear in mind that that post was around 18 months ago, and keyboard leg design might have evolved since then.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
