Title: Thank you geekhack
Post by: nolo on Sun, 13 March 2011, 17:52:49
Hi guys,

this is my first post in this forum.

First , i wanna thank you all for the detailed informations you all have provided in this forum.
These informations helped me a lot making my decision what keyboard next.

I'm owner of two DasKeyboard (DKPRO-S-105-DE) and two IBM 1391401 Model M.

My choice for the new keyboard:
Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless (FKBN88MC/GRB2)

I've ordered my new keybord from The Keyboard Company. Here are some pics:

By the way, anybody noticed yet ? The DAS with german layout have a wrong print on one of the keycaps:

You can see it also on the product illustration on GetDigital.de:

Hey I just got that Filco Tenkeyless German as well! With brown switches though. I'm very curious about blue, too...

You can basically try all of the Cherry mx switches (http://mrinterface.com/content/sinklist-stk-switch-try-keyboard), and all you have to pay is about 10€ for shipping.
It is highly worth subscribing for this sinklist.

Hi,

Congratulations for your new keyboard, too.

In my opinion the tenkeyless is a real beauty, isn't it ?

I like the blue switches the most, but my new girlfriend thinks they are very noisy :(
Therefore i will have to order probably still another tenkeyless with brown switches.
Then I can use the brown ones, if she is there.
