Title: Where to get the Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless Tactile Touch "Otaku" in Europe
Post by: Jalal on Tue, 10 August 2010, 19:29:24

Hi,

i live in germany and i am looking at the "Majestouch Tenkeyless Tactile Touch Otaku" (FKBN87M/NPEK). I really want that but can't find any retailer shipping it to germany. elitekeyboard.com ships it for 165$ total but without warranty, so do you know of any european retailer? Thank you.

I've found out you can buy a set of blank keys here: http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_d...sp?PRODUCT=639
Are those exaclty the same keycaps?

edit: Filco says in difference to the ones of their keyboards the seperate keycaps have a "molded matte texture" to it. Soemone can explain me the difference to the oriignals?

What is the difference in feel? The originals look way smoother.

Oh if they feel the same or nearly the same then it's okay. Thank you very much.
