Title: Where to buy a Full-zise with Cherry Browns?
Post by: poco on Tue, 26 April 2011, 13:44:18

My co-worker and I stumbled across a Compaq keyboard today with Brown switches, and she immediately fell in love with the crisp feel of it. I started showing her some options (Leopold, Das, Noppoo), and she said she was more interested in buying a full-sized keyboard. I don't think she wants to spend a lot of money, so I gave her a link to the $80 Xarmor keyboard on Amazon, but it's up to her to decide what she wants to get. I couldn't find many other full size keyboards with Browns online. Do you have any recommendations? (We're in North America.)

Filco should be back in stock on Amazon in a week or so.  Unfortunately you have to know the product code or keep searching on them until they are in stock.

...or just bookmark this link here (http://www.amazon.com/Filco-Majestouch-2-Tactile-Action-Keyboard/dp/B004VKUSG6/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1303845326&sr=1-11) and keep checking it.  They should have it by next month and that's the newer version (Majestouch-2 w/ browns).

Thanks for the help, everyone. Looks like she's getting a Das Silent. My other co-worker is looking into getting a mechanical keyboard as well. I think he's interested in Blues because of their clickiness.

That link will not work. I spoke to the owner of that store and she told me there will be a new link and a few changes to the Filco keyboards.

We use a different board inside called “FR4 double layers” and that is much more durable
than the current one and also we redesigned all the lines on the board.
Also logo will be coming with a different color. It will be dark metallic.
We changed inside a whole lot but the look makes no difference except this logo.

Also, the LOGO will be different from the original.

The logo will be the one shown here,
