it's cool until you realize how far away you have to sit from your screen. and that the keys on your normal mechanical keyboard are better anyway

Very much so, although I think this one has some novelty factor to it. I don't really get mechanicals, I've played with several but to me they're just noisy and heavy to press. Oh well.

Then you haven't tried all the switches.

I would say Browns and Reds both feel lighter than your standard rubber dome fairings, I know Blacks are heavy and I haven't tried Blues however.

If you find they are too loud then you shouldn't use Blue and you can also buy dampeners to keep them a little quieter.

When I got my Filco I thought other than the build quality it wasn't going to help my typing speed, but I've gone up by 15wpm and I don't even touch type or type properly. thumb.gif

Oh wait. No. It can't print. Yep completely useless. Unless you want some strenuous finger and wrist exercise in which case I can no longer admit to understanding your motives.

It can, the article says you can type on a real paper while typing to your PC.

You can even type with ink on paper, while simultaneously typing on your digital device.
