Yea that is my main problem. I wanted to press TAB to be able to look at the scoreboard for CS:S and I pressed my macro keys so many times that I got extremely mad. Also they look ugly to me, I tried the K60 for a bit and got a little annoyed because there was no click sound. frown.gif I like them blues because of the loud clicky noise. Feels like home. smile.gif I might try the K60 as my first linear keyboard. Is there a tactile bump to it? I don't remember anymore.

I might get rid of the macro keys on my black widow , pull the keys and put something as a blanking plate , cover it with a putty and smoothe it down and then di-noc the keyboard instead of the shiny black .

Buy a Ducky or Leopold, take out all keys, paint it with some sexy camo or pattern or just plain black (remember to cover the switches with Frog tape or crappy painter's tape). Then take the keys and paint them off with a chrome finish! It'll look sexy and amazing. I want to do this but with school coming up, I can't. Also our garage is too messy for me even to walk around.

Ok, so I think I figured out what I don't like about the Filco or the Tesoro I had before. It's not the switches, it's the cavernous openings between the keys when pressed. The way I type, my fingers hit the sides surrounding keys whenever I use the Filco. I'm coming from a logitech (membrane, plastic scissor):



Not only are the keys and throw much more shallow, but the actual key faces are ~10% larger. I have next to no typos with this thing, but the problem is hand fatigue. So, I thought a mechanical keyboard might help in that regard, but so far I can't type a complete command without some sort of typo on the Filco. Anyone know of a mechanical, with larger / shallower keys ? Is it possible I just need a different keycap set ? Possibly double up on the dampeners ? Any suggestions would be appreciated, don't really want to go thru the trouble of sending the Filco back too.

Also, when I ordered the Filco, I ordered the dampeners along with a custom keycap for my escape key. What the heck happened here (WASD keycap on the left) ?

Looks like you ordered an R1 keycap instead of an R4, therefore giving you a short key. R4 should be plenty tall enough as WASD Keycaps are Filco height.
