Awesome v2
-
Nice! Do you think one can actually feel the difference while typing between v1 and v2?
-
I doubt it.

I doubt it.
That's exactly what I'm thinking but according to that link, the guy wrote:
"And although it's not a big, I can feel more clean keytouching than prior model."
-
For some reason I trust that guy. It sounds like he's been with a LOT of hookers.
I hope he hasn't touched THIS model...

I don't think it has detachable USB cable. My Majestouch 2 tenkeyless with reds sure didn't have one.
-
nvm the stupid cable only still goes through the middle removable or not its the same
rather get a leo
-
i await that full size leo

Oh, I only skimmed the pictures and it looked removable, my bad. Okay then, nothing to be excited about here.
-
What's the backlog time on that? The Elitekeyboards site still says "Shipping Late March".
Had a friend order blues maybe wedn. of last week and he received it Tuesday, standard shipping from Cali to Illinois.
-
At $99 it's hard to beat a Leopold.

According to people who just ordered theres they're still getting notifications saying that they'll ship immediately...guessing they just didn't update the site yet.
-
These are available now at Leopold (http://www.leopold.co.kr/?doc=cart/list.php&ca_id=101030).
The price is around 152$.
-
why it looks like (for me) limited edition is now unlimited.
-
Mx Brown and Blue are not limited edition.

Ah, keyboards and tranny's. I was in Peet's Coffee many years ago (before I was married) and saw a rather attractive young thing in a tight skirt standing right behind me. Well, the Dr. is IN. As my eye made it's way up, I stopped at a rather pronounced protrusion right around the neck. Wow, nice work, man. To borrow a quote, he looked like he swallowed a rubrik's cube.
Double espresso, stat!
-
looks like a girl to me.
-
Oh, I've seen enough 4chan to think the Poker model is a guy. Still want to Poker, oddly enough.
Wait.
Oh, nevermind.
-
I'm curious to all the Poker girls and the keyboard models.. where do those pictures even come from?
And meh, the v2 doesn't look much different than the v1?
-
I was lucky enough to grab one Swedish/Finnish Majestouch 2 with brown switches from The Keyboard Company ~one week ago. This guy wasn't even listed as Majestouch 2, and was a single piece that suddenly became available at April the 8th. Maybe it's a sample piece or something, who knows.
Anyways, I now have two SWE/FIN Majestouches with brown switches: one v1 (for home) and one v2 (for work), so I'm in a good position to make comparisons. Yay. Other than that, my experience is rather limited; got my first Filco six months ago, fell in love with it, and about one month ago, decided to get a second mechanical for work. I tested the Blackwidow, and was disappointed by its quality (~one fifth of the keys didn't even say click). I also tested a Realforce at a local verkkokauppa.com and (obviously) it felt really, really nice. I could definitely feel good oneness with the rubber cup, but still decided I like the browns more. So... here I am, living the dream, with two beautiful, almost identical twins under my fingertips.
Yes, almost. As the Korean guy(girl?) pointed out, the biggest difference is the keycaps, which are made from a different, softer plastic. The biggest (and I guess the only) gripe with Majestouch 1 (at least for me) was the exceptionally non-durable keycaps, which quickly became shiny, giving the keyboard a greasy appearance, no matter how clean you kept it. I understand that this is a somewhat fundamental problem with keycaps, but there's at least hope that this material is even slightly more durable.
Other than giving it a more matte appearance, the softer plastic also provides a little bit softer feel. The difference is subtle, but it's there. The bottoming out sound is also different; again it's softer compared to the "hard plastic against hard plastic" sound of v1. The difference is large enough to justify me keeping the v2 at work, since it's less distracting for my co-workers, but I kinda enjoy the sound of Majestouch 1 more.
..and that's about it. Oh, the FILCO logo on the corner is now dark gray instead of gold. I posted a short video, try and see if you can spot the differences between the two:

Bruce mentioned some majestouch 2 full size were heading to Amazon, so maybe a week or so.
-
Now when will KBC have these on Amazon haha
I guess Bruce will have to rename his company to KBC.
There is simply no other choice...

They should make a nice TKC logo.
