Title: Mad Shrimps reviews Filco
Post by: RickyJ on Wed, 10 November 2010, 12:09:26

Here's the review. (http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/article/1000091)  They don't talk much about the key feel, but at least they're helping to get the word out.  They also reference GeekHack which is cool.

Yeah, very briefly at the end was key feel mentioned. Did say that up until now (when he got the Filco) the SteelSeries was his favorite.

Nice review lots of pictures.

However it did lack mention regarding keycap print type, material types used etc. Or any evaluation for wear on them.

To find out these extras theres always places like GH.

On the "A closer look" page, page four, it shows the Filco feature check sticker. Why does it list Red as a switch option? Do Majestouch keyboards with red switches exist?

Hohoho... I would love to try a bluetooth, tenkeyless, Cherry MX red Majestouch for HTPC purposes.

Seconded. The bluetooth part sounds like it would be a mod project

Why would you want MX Reds for an HTPC? Gaming?

I would like a Bluetooth Tenkeyless for such usage as well but I'd go with browns.

It's too bad I'm completely inept with such do it yourself projects, so I'd need to wait on Diatec.

Well, I should elaborate. I want the MX reds because I want to try them (I use browns on my daily drivers). And my HTPC is the only thing that currently doesn't have a Filco. And if I don't like the reds, it's OK because I don't do massive amounts of typing on my HTPC. And the bluetooth option on the box is what got the idea in my head. Probably the options listed are hypothetical products, not real ones.

Fwiffo: Sir's switch try board has a red cherry on it.
