Do all of the black Filco Majestouch 2 TKL keyboards have a dark logo?

I'm still trying to figure out if there are any Filco Majestouch 2 TKL keyboards with the brighter silver logo.

Here is the Ninja's logo, according to Amazon.

Well, the one on Camo board is kinda greenish but yeah, all of them seem to have dark, metallic color.

Days of bright, shiny Filco logo are over...  unless they change it back on Majestouch 3. lol

Are all of your other Filco TKL keyboards with the bright silver logos, Majestouch 1 or 2?

Title: Filco Logo
Post by: jpm804 on Wed, 23 November 2011, 01:01:31

all MJ2 - Linear R in white and black. And a white non ninja blues.

My ninja is the only one in black logo.

Are you trying to get one with a dark logo?

Title: Filco Logo
Post by: nolliepoper on Wed, 23 November 2011, 01:08:02

No, I was trying to buy a Filco MJ2 TKL new or used, but don't want to get a dark logo from Amazon.
Well, It really doesn't matter but keeps bugging me.

Post by: jpm804 on Wed, 23 November 2011, 01:09:45

Best bet then would be MJ2 non ninja in black or white...at least the ones I have seen.

Dont know the exact details for MJ1 though

Title: Filco Logo
Post by: nolliepoper on Wed, 23 November 2011, 01:18:50

See the picture in the original post is of a MJ2 and it has the darker logo than most of the MJ1 logos I have seen.
I was just curious if that is the case for all Filco MJ2 TKL keyboards.

Post by: laffindude on Wed, 23 November 2011, 01:21:59

I thought dark logo is one of the "features" of MJ2.

I think its just the angle of the pic making it look darker.. on my MJ2 with the silver badge if you look at it at a certain angle it looks darker than it is, but is defintely silver straight on.

While the ninja looks black from all angles.

The regular MJ2 logo is lighter than the ninja but you might be right that the MJ1 silver might be brighter( looking at reapers and the pic above for comparison)... I wish I had one to compare but here is the MJ2 ninja vs the darker silver on my MJ2

The KEY to keyboard science is Taxonomy.  THIS was the confusion with Ping versus Ring although in the end they ended up being the same.  See The McRip Effect (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?23217-Announcing-the-LATEST-Ripster-Keyboard-Theorem-The-quot-McRip-Effect-quot-!) for details.

I propose this nomenclature to prevent another PingAthon:

Gun Metal is silverish gray.
(Attachment) 32781[/ATTACH]

Silver is silver.
(Attachment) 32782[/ATTACH]

Black is black.
Is there a black????  Ninja looks gun metal to me.

Yellow is yellow.

Green is green.

NOW... please continue.

Thanks in advance.

I bought an MJ2 tenkeyless with browns from Amazon.com earlier this month. It has a gun metal logo.

Bwahahahaha!

YOU guys SURE the silver logo ones were Ver 2?  Has a 2 on the end of the product name and this label?
(Attachment) 33002[/ATTACH]

Can somebody with a Ninja confirm if it:
- Has a BLACK (not gun metal) logo?
- Pings?

Posted it a little earlier, Ninja logo looks black to me.

Ninja on top:

Show me a black Filco MJ2 TKL without a gun metal finish.

Hard to tell if it's a MJ1 or MJ2 to be honest.
Where did you get it from?

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?20783-White-Filco-Keys

It's Majestouch 2. I'm sure of it, the product name ends on a 2.
Looks incredibly silver irl. It's a Swedish ISO 88, from Keyboardco.

Yes I'm sure of it.

if the op is still interested in getting a silver logo I am willing to trade the logo off of my FKBT22MB, which is silver, for a black logo.

Post by: nolliepoper on Sat, 10 December 2011, 14:41:44

No thanks, I was just curious.
I still have not seen any black Filco MJ2 TKL with ascii layout and a bright silver logo.
The MJ1 I used to have, had a shiny logo but my MJ2 has a dark gunmetal logo.

Title: Filco Logo
Post by: c0rbin on Sun, 11 December 2011, 15:50:02

Unfortunately so, I know I like the light one.

Ninja has a black logo but its shiny so sometimes it catches the light and makes it look lighter.

Post by: WhiteFireDragon on Thu, 15 December 2011, 15:16:57

so these logos are detachable to switch out for a different color, right? is there anywhere to buy replacement logos for filco tenkeyless?
