Enthousiast from Holland
« on: Wed, 05 December 2012, 16:49:24 »
Hello everyone.

Got my first mechanical keyboard today.

Reason that I started looking for keyboards was that my G11 started to worn out.

I was just looking for a similiar product when I accedently came upon an extensive keyboard review on the Dutch hardware site tweakers.

As I read through the article I was amazed how many diffrent key types/keyboards existed.

I spend the next week looking at keyboard review movies and eventually became interrested in the Filco Majestouch 2 w/ Cherry Browns. I liked the look and sound and the fact that it's smaller than my old G11.

After using it the only thing I regret is not having bought a board like this many years ago ;D

I think I also got a new fascination now. This board won't be my last.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Filco is a very solid board - you should be able to enjoy it for years to come :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
