Next I'll post visual wav graphs proving my filco pings. :)

I've had my meucci for almost 20 years now. Still looks and works like they day it was new. However, the person using it has deferiorated significantly.

What do you mean by this? All my WASD keycaps height is consistent.

Do you mean that The SP-profile keycaps aren't the same? (A fn# row filco/WASH is taller than a Fn# row SP keycap). This is, unfortunately one of the drawbacks of SP. They also don't match with cherry.
some within the same row will raise higher than other, example, my H is lower than G, my backspace is higher than of the numbers

See, these caps are perfect. I assume there are a lot of people on here who play pool.

I need to sell some keyboards to buy a pool cue. My old sneaky pete's butt is separating. (Door wide open for jokes there)
I also still need to get an Albino Bowler painting from McPhee before Ramirez dies and they become priceless.

Really? I was told they were a cherry profile?

SP's DCS is pretty close to Cherry for R1-3 (Esc-Num/QWE/ASD) but for ZXC/Modifiers, SP is much more angled than Cherry.

I've had a few Meuccis and loved them all.

Received a letter from German customs. Suspecting it’s this one they’re keeping. Oh I hate those guys. :-/

What could possibly be bad about importing/receiving plastic keycaps? Those customs people can be pretty awful.

If they suspect them to be worth more than a certain amount, let's say €25, you need to pay tax.

I just got mine today, and i didnt even get a bill from danish customs.
Pretty sweet cause those guys always want money. (They almost always nab anything remotely taxable.)

I ordered via bubblemailer and there was no problem with the German customs at all!
