Ringing Filco

I've had two Filcos and both have rang. Are all Filcos like this? I bought both from the same seller and I'm considering getting another for Christmas and hope I get lucky.
Here are some sound samples:

The mediafire link was recorded with my crappy phone, so the quality is bad.

I feel your ping.
I would NOT expect a lot of sympathy from the Forum Admins.

Joke? I can hear the ping in the sound sample fine.
Oh, you mean the buying multiple keyboards thing and RMAing them?
That's an American tradition. We have this store called Nordstroms you see.....

I've one Filco and "rings" too. The backspace button that is. It's slightly better now than it was before.
Perhaps it'll diminish away completely some day...

I had a Cherry Red that pinged for a while.
Ping = ring btw.
But it went away after a while. Both Elitekeyboards and The Keyboard Company have found this as well so they don't provide a "No-Ping" guarantee.

OP - what did you decide to do?
If it's the Keyboard Company I'd just RMA them but not mention my name.
And did you know your screen name is in a famous USA meme?
