Title: /FT: White Filco MJ1 Tenkeyless, Brand New in Box, Brown Switches
Post by: dvdhsu on Sun, 04 September 2011, 12:46:57

Qtan is selling them for $192 shipped (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Filco-87-White-Mechanical-Gaming-keyboard-Cherry-BROWN-/300589423627?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item45fc869c0b#ht_3181wt_1299). The only physical difference between his keyboard and mine is the version; his is a MJ2, mine is a MJ1. His also ships from China, mine will ship from the Bay Area, so you will get it faster.

I bought this keyboard from TaoBao about two weeks ago, and it arrived last week. Since last week, it has been sitting in my closet, and I haven't touched it. I am now looking to sell it, or trade for a Filco MJ1/2 TKL Black, with blue switches.

Here are some pictures (the keys that seem more white will not be included, they are to provide a contrast to the "cream" color of the MJ):

If you are looking to buy outright, I am thinking of $175 shipped. This is cheaper than Qtan's by $17, and you will get it much faster. Plus, it's a MJ1, which is harder to find.

If you have a MJ TKL Blues, and you want to trade, I am looking for more than $55 on your end. I already have an offer for $55, so you would have to beat that in order to get this board.

If you can do a local pickup, that would be best. I am located in Palo Alto, and can meet up anywhere there. I will sell for $170 shipped if you pick it up, or trade for $60 + a MJ TKL Blues.


I have feedback here on GH (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?21181-dvdhsu), or feedback here (http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?show=from&id=69703&num_days=0) on Heatware.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I think qtan has mj1 version and sells them cheaper than his mj2 versions. I remember it saying it somewhere on the ebay auction.

EDIT: Just checked he does have the mj1 at a lower price than the mj2 check the listing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Filco-87-White-Mechanical-Gaming-keyboard-Cherry-BROWN-/300589423627?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item45fc869c0b

Ah, I see it now. I'm sorry about that.

In that case, I'll lower my price to $180 shipped. That should be cheaper than Qtan's.

Thanks for pointing that out!

No, really, thank you very much for pointing that out. If you didn't, people would just be going to him, instead of buying this board I need to get rid of. :)

Why are the f1-f4 a different white? Or is that camera playing tricks with me.

They indeed are KBC keys. As for the printing, I'm not quite sure. I'll go down in a bit and take a look. Those keys (the whole set) are also for sale, but somebody else currently has dibs on them, pending pictures.

I put the KBC keys on in an effort to show a contrast between the "cream" color of the board and the pure white color of the KBC caps.

The chinese message boards says there's a difference in the feeling of MX Blues between MJ1 and MJ2 probably due to the thickness of the PCB

People will call me crazy but bottoming out has a slightly different feel on the MJ2. I believe it's a little lower in pitch, can't compare side by side though.

Last price drop to $170 shipped.

If this still doesn't sell, I'll just convert them to blues.
