Hello!!
« on: Sun, 02 August 2015, 18:04:33 »
I just started putting together my first pc and decided to actually spend my money on a good keyboard and mouse. After plenty of research that lead me here i decided to go with a Filco Majestouch convertible 2 with a red kobo cover. I don't think i may be into collecting keyboards as much as some of you guys, but I really was captivated by the customization and how great some of the keyboards looked. I hope to really become apart of this community and really learn some things!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Filco is a good solid choice to start with - it should last you for years, probably through several PC builds.

And you might find the keyboard bug biting and find yourself tempted to get a replacement set of keycaps or 4 ;)

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

My first keyboard was a Majestouch 2 as well! Had MX browns and was full-size. Thing was built like a tank and kickstarted my journey down the rabbit hole.  ^-^

Just got it in the mail and it feels like a tank lol, unfortunately the wife gets to use it first to work on her paper.

Welcome to GH! I'm also interested in Convertible2, which can be connected not only via BT but via USB as far as I know.
I do want to hear review of it, especially about how long it does work with BT connection.

That's good - keep her happy and she'll be more forgiving when you start to buy more and more keyboard things :)
