Title: Input on Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless Black Switches
Post by: Spaget on Thu, 28 April 2011, 00:36:56

I would love to hear everyone's opinion on every aspect and component of this keyboard.  I am seriously thinking about getting this plus the red esc key and the blue wasd.  Does this keyboard come with a red esc key already?

Ok so I found out that all Filco keyboards come with a red esc key.  Anyone have any comments on the black switches?  I know a lot of you already have leet keyboards and need an excuse to use them so why not give me some things to read about this keyboard? ;)

It has the stiffest springs from all the switches. But that could be the turn off for some, selling point for others. So I can't quite blindly recommend it. Great for gaming and touch typing though. I personally don't like black switches. Prefer brown/blue.

It doesn't come with a red esc key?  Lame.  Yeh I am mostly going to be using it for gaming and browsing the internet.  Right now I am using a razor lycosa and it feels and sounds like garbage to me.  It looks pretty crappy also.  Do you guys know if the letters on the filco keys are printed, dyed, or what?
