Double Shot Filco 105 Key UK Keyset

My 2nd purchase from this friendly store. The first was US ANSI back in 2016 and never regret having one since then. Alas, some keys was lost and I need to replace the lost keys fortunately available in UK ISO keyset. The new one feels the same with the ANSI, nothing change. I always love the SA profile.

Great store, friendly and nice team (especially Bruce and Helen) assisting me with canceling order and reordering including many Q&A after and before. LOL.

Success for you guys!

Good service and good keys - not cheap but look and feel nice. Arrived in perfect condition. Bought to replace keys on Ninja Majestouch TKL, which are fun but a little hard to see in low light. Not sure how these would compare to a similarly priced PBT set, as have never tried them, but these are good quality ABS and far better than the original keys. Only had them on a few days so far. As others have said, they are not black but are a nice retro off-black, and are a couple of mm taller than the originals.

I have been searching high and low for a decent set of sculpted keyboard keys that have that retro look and feel to them. This keycap set, is it. I have replaced the keycaps that came with my recent Filco Majestouch 2 Convertible keyboard I bought a while back and they are the perfect companion, in my opinion.

They are slightly raised in height compared to the original keys that come with the keyboard originally but that is fine by me. I actually feel I bottom out with less ferocity with these keycaps.

They are in a brown colour, but I quite like that. Reminds me of the C64!.

Overall, highly recommended. Will now have to purchase another set for my work keyboard.

Great keycaps. Sadly the set is not fully sculpted, but at least it's readily available and relativily cheap, so no complain there.
I also like the color scheme and the fact that the font used on these keycaps is the same one used on the original Cherry keycaps.
The Costar stabilizers came separately in a little bag insted of being glued on, which is also a plus.

The shipping and service has been great, fully satisfied with the purchase.

Finally, after many failed attempts, I have the keyboard and keycaps I was hoping for. These lovely, slightly retro keycaps feel great, have a really clear font and go very nicely on my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL.

These keycaps are vary dark brown and cream, lovely retro colour scheme. They feel pretty solid and have a great sound. The stabilizer mounts were not glued which gives you the flexibility of choosing costar or cherry, I prefer costar anyway so I wouldn't have been fussed.

Prompt delivery as always

A bit disappointed with the double shot keycaps. After a few weeks of use, had to remove them and replace with the originals. Personally, I didn't like the following:

1) Cherry MX switches have too much travel for my liking, so I tend to compensate that with blue o-rings, which decrease the distance keycaps have to travel. However for some strange reason Filco double shot keycaps have smooth stems all the way to the end. This means the o-rings are useless and keycaps always bottom out, as the o-rings simply slide all the way to the top.
2) These keycaps sit much higher than the originals and I found them somewhat uncomfortable. They also seem to wobble more than the originals.
3) The plastic that keycaps are made from, seems to be quite brittle. When I removed the keycaps, quite a few of them had cracked stems. No such issues with the original keycaps.

I think Filco need to go back to the drawing board with these keycaps.

A nice SA set which will fit many other boards in addition to Filco - the stabs come in a separate bag. The caps are between 1.3-1.4 mm thick at the bottom edge and 2.6mm where the doubleshot starts, so they are quite substantial. Legends are nice and uniform. I can highly recommend these!

Fantastic keycaps. Amazing sound. Amazing Quality. But only seem to fit FILCO boards. I am a massive IBM M fan but this FILCO set up could possibly be even better.

AAA rated.

Very nice, retro styled tall spherical keycaps in delicious looking dark brown with light cream coloured legends, which also makes my Filco majectouch 2 UK ISO full size with Cherry MX blacks sound and feel so good, just like those old school linear keyboards of the 1980s from my childhood and adolescence, such as that of the BBC Micro Model B or the original Apple M0110A extended keyboard.

Solid, double shot keycaps. You would say the keycaps are black but when putting it next to another black object (for example your generic keyboard case) you will notice they are actually very dark smooth brown colour with creamy white lettering. They theyre beautiful in my opinion.

Fast delivery, comes in airtight packaging with additional stabilizer hooks for the larger keys.

SA profile looks and feels much better than the OEM profile - but this entirely personal preference. However the quality of these double shot ABS keys are objectively superior to the cheap keycaps the Filco keyboard comes with.

Great Keycaps - would like to see them sell more variety SA keycaps in various colours and profile.

This is the third purchase I have made from the Keyboard Company and as always the service was excellent. The pre-purchase support provided was to the point and adequate.
Delivery was, as promised, next day and I was able to fit the keytops to my Filco KB, with care, in about an hour. The keys are very slightly brown rather than jet black but this colour difference is not noticable once fitted.

Well mine are a little brown colour (the picture shows black) but other than that they work well on my Das Keyboard 4C and much better than the rubbish Das supply by default.

Budget SA profile keycaps not fully sculpted and costar stabilizer mounts come glued in but are easy to remove without causing any damage but overall great value for what you're getting and I would recommend this keyset to anybody looking for a decent keyset for cheap.
