DISCONTINUED

The Convertible 2 keyboard from master keyboard makers - Filco. This keyboard is 'convertible' from a USB wired keyboard to a Bluetooth wireless keyboard, and you don't even need to unplug it from your PC. It combines the high quality typing feel of Cherry MX switches, steel mounted in a rock solid body all put together in a very slick package. The Silent Red switch has internal tappets that minimise the bottom-out and top-out noise, 30% quieter than traditional mechanical switches.

I've been previously using a Rosewill rk9000v2 with Mx Red switches. The change to Silent Reds was instantly noticeable. The way the silent switches work, has made typing much more enjoyable and the more quiet sounds while gaming has been greatly helpful in focusing instead of being distracted by the key switches.

As for the keyboard itself, it is not too heavy, and switches seemlessly between many bluetooth devices. The only caveit is switching from bluetooth to wired, you sometimes have to replug the wire connection to the keyboard to get it working properly.

I have it only few days, so far, loving it.

Multiple bluetooth connectivity is, for me, some advanced stuff and the fact that it works flawlessly on the first try is mind boggling.

The keyboard itself indeed feels very premium, yet nothing so flashy I would have to be embarrassed in front of my colleagues for (Since I bought it for my workplace).

Another thing that immediately stood up for me was how natural the layout is. I have ducky shine 7 at home and it took me few days to get adjusted to it. Don't get me wrong I like what I have at home, it just came as a surprise, when I started using Filco's one at work, it was soo natural, no adjustment time, no miss-clicks, no frustration about laptop layout, very well thought through.

MX silent red switches, no complains there, no squeaking, they are pretty much as silent as membrane and you know that you are not using membrane.
