My first mech keyboard

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
So I finally decided to pull the plug and get myself a good mechanical keyboard.
I was fascinated by front facing print and the clean looks it provides.
So well here is my purchase smile.gif
Its Filco Ninja Majestouch-2 Tenkeyless, with MX Brown switches, I paid 136 USD for it with delivery.





A little size comparison with my Razer Lycosa which still works perfectly after ~3 years


A leather wrist rest, got it fro about 9.5 bucks smile.gif


Overall I am really satisfied by the keyboard it is solid and heavy, and it really is a different feeling from your normal kb's.
The buttons are very tactile, the response is immediate, and i definitely started to type faster.
MX Brown switches provide nice soft clicky sound, but not really loud or annoying.
Basically its quite amazing. Turns out mechanical keyboards are as good as people make them out to be, and I do not regret a single penny.
What about you guys how was your experience with Filcos?

I love my Filco (Otaku w/ Blues) but ended up switching to my HHKB (which I've been using for two years now). Typing is way more enjoyable on my Filco but for all around use Topre won out.
