Title: Got my Filco MX Brown
Post by: BarryGordon on Wed, 19 October 2011, 23:04:49

I just received my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown an hour ago and so far I'm still getting used to it coming from a steelseries 6gv2 (MX Black). I think I got used to the really weird layout on the 6gv2 keyboard but I can see myself favoring the Filco more after a few more hours of usage. The more I type on this thing the more I start to love it.

Just got mine an hour ago too.  Also liking it so far, but it takes some getting used to.

Definitely a better feel.
Try typing on it for an hour then putting your old board back.  Domes now feel absolutely terrible.
Thanks geekhack for making me a keyboard snob for the rest of my life!

  And not to mention a bit poorer due to how many 'boards you're gonna want to try... Just speaking from experience! ;)

Yeah, after just a bit over an hour of typing on the Filco this keyboard is much better now I love it and I can't go back to the steelseries.

2nd board ever was my Filco 87 w/ Browns (1st was Das Keyboard Blue). $1200 later, and I'm back to my first love.

I am typing on a Filco brown and the typing feel is excellent.

When you type lighter, the brown bump are very noticeable.

Congrats on your choice guys!!!
I have a filco 3 months now and i totaly love it!
I think this love grows up in you as the time passes away!
A minus thing that bothers me once in a while is , that it pings...
But even with this happening ,i love it!

Enjoy! you just bought a board that plays with your hands love!

:hail:My leopold just got here and i'm typing on it now, l love it. First mech board, im spoiled for life now, it just feels so much cripser than a mushy membrane, oh and i got a tenkeyless brown. Next step is some double shots and novelty key caps from sp, just going to do the ripster mod on most of them.
