Majestouch Tactile Touch "Otaku" NKRO

Model S Ultimate Silent Keyboard

As far as I can tell they're nearly identical. Das is having a special right now and I can pick up their keyboard for cheaper than the Majestouch, so I'm leaning toward that.
Is there anything about the Majestouch though? Does it have that special "something" that the Das is missing that would warrant spending ~$30 more on it?
Thanks for any advice and hello :) This is my first post.

The Filco is smaller and matte; the DAS is larger and glossy. You're gonna be fine, either way. I got Filco, because I prefer the size, style and it was in stock, while DAS wasn't.
Nothing wrong with saving the money. Though you should be warned, if you have more than one computer or type more than one place, you might end up buying another board, anyways.
Someone needs to weigh in on DAS versus Filco key caps, because that's the only other functional difference. DAS caps might be better (laser versus coated).
