Filco Majestouch 1 - Cherry MX clear
« on: Sat, 08 June 2013, 06:16:48 »
Here is my Filco Majestouch 1.
I changed the switches to Cherry MX Clear.
I think the PCB of Filco Majestouch 1 has only 1 layer (unlike Majestouch 2 with dual layer)
However, the quality of Majestouch is good, the plate is heavy, solid and thick.
Therefore, I'm quite happy with the sound, the quality keyboard after modded.
Here are some pictures, just for someone are looking for a cheap board to mod.
Enjoy.  ;)

Stock stiff springs? It's going to be a pain to change out springs if you ever wanted to switch.

I really like the feeling of the tickle tickle ... Clear.

Yes, it is the original plate

Yes, but I lubed springs with oil and the stems with grease, so for me the feeling is great.
Indeed, it's quite heavy in the feeling if I do the bottom out a lot  :))

May I ask where you got the modifiers from?

Are they doubleshot?

I got the modifier keys and function keys from Qwerkeys :
http://www.qwerkeys.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=59_72
They are not double shot but absolutely I have no trouble with the keys.
They have a good quality of plastic, nice colour and thick layer.
