Title: Majestouch 2 red?
Post by: brkim1324 on Sat, 30 April 2011, 10:56:45
I just received my Majestouch 2 Red from Amazon,
but it doesn't have Majetouch "2" on it.
Instead it just says Majestouch Linear R Limited Edition.
The Filco emblem on the keyboard is Silver though.
On the back of the keyboard it says, Majestouch  Linear R Limited Edition,
but that's about it.
Is this the Majestouch 2, or just Majestouch 1?

So what are your first impressions?  I have that keyboard and it's one of my favorites. I really like the light touch and also like the linear smoothness.

Certainly it is Majestouch 2. In fact, Filco first red switch board is a Majestouch 2 board.

Thank you all for congrats! :)
The build quality is solid and different texture made from Filco Tenkeyless blue.
The keycap I think feels lighter. I noticed when I change the key caps.
I am used to blue switches, so my finger tend to push harder, so I get this aa sometimes :P
Overall though,  I like this keyboard better than my tenkeyless. The font looks more solid, and the build quality is very good.
My hands got somewhat weaker due to too much typing and gaming, so I needed lighter keys like HHKB 45g.
Red switch sounds like black switch, and feels very light.
It becomes easier for typing and gaming like SC2. My apm just goes faster and more precise.
But I am used to blue switches, so my finger don't recognize I clicked or not, but I just got it, so I believe I will get used to it.
I am glad I switched to Red XD good choice indeed.

But this is not 100% perfect keyboard for me. About 95%. But definitely, this is best keyboard for my fingers so far.
My dream keyboard is, PBT made keycaps, blue with black sounds, 45g force light touch, with some media keys available like volume control keys whether with Fn keys or just separate.
And some USB 2.0 ports available would be nice. Design would be the classic rectangular like Filco.
I like browns but my finger prefer 45g of force like Red.
Hope some maker makes this XD!!
What is you guys' dream keyboards?

Blue with black sound? The nearest thing should be a white stem with brown/blue spring but that should still be stiffer than red.

Oh wait, i think the light force seems to be more priotize over tactile. Then just keep with your red as tactile does make the switch stiffer too. Or may be you can specially modded some spring that is lighter than blue spring but i dont think you can mod fully 100+ spring of same stiffness.

That's just my dream keyboard XD Not really realistic but I think that would be great if some maker decides to make it happens as close as possible.
Oh for the "blue with black sound" part, I meant blue switch with blue and black sound... which is just... wut.. lol but that's what it means to be a dream keyboard!
Don't you think it's great? XD very comfortable to hand with all the features, great build quality and design, with great audio feedback also, and great typing feeling!
Awesome... But for the moment, Filco Red Majestouch 2 is best keyboard I've used so far XD Truthfully, I didn't expect much since I've used blue and HHKB,
but this is great. Hope it has more tactile feedback though, but still very satisfied.
