Title: Filco Ninja majestouch 2 (white) vs Leopold TKL white otaku
Post by: jooks1184 on Wed, 15 February 2012, 22:07:37

Hello all,

    So, I just purchased a Filco Ninja majestouch 2 (white) for 152.99 (which includes 1-day shipping). I was wondering if I should return it and get a Leopold otaku TKL (white). There is a 30-40 dollar price difference between the 2 so I was wondering if the price premium for the Filco was worth it. Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you in advance.

I have a Filco (mx black) and Leopold (mx red) and really the only difference I've noticed, aside from the switch differences, is the stabilizers. Something that was addressed in your first thread back in October. Granted it's only on  5 keys; backspace, enter, shift and the spacebar, but those are keys that you will use often. Without the ability to compare to each other I'm not sure you will even know the difference though.

So are the Filco stabilizers better?

Pleease... someone think of the children and Ripster's next Filco!  

Yeah I agree with the fellas... Keep it mate.  Just get the new model Leopolds when they come out in March.

It depends on a switch. Blues - keep it, otherwise you can RMA.

EDIT:

Thats because IMO filco stabilizers are nice with blue switches, for other switches, it doesn't matter that much.

Soooo I received my filco in the mail yesterday. I absolutely love it. Brown switches are the ones for me. I already own a leopold blue switch and a rosewill red switch, but the browns are the best fit for me. Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I don't think I'll need to RMA it or anything. It's a keeper.
