Title: Black Filco MJ2 TKL Browns
Post by: Reptar on Sat, 28 April 2012, 21:27:33

Hi everyone,

I want my first mechanical keyboard to be a Filco MJ2 TKL with brown switches, but I can't seem to find it in stock anywhere. I would prefer to buy it in new or barely-used condition. I live in California, and can pay with paypal.

I plan on blank white keycaps and transforming it into something like this. (http://www.overclock.net/t/1053471/enter-the-filco-white-ninja)

Thanks.

EDIT: I meant to put TKL in the title, not "TNK." I don't even know what TNK is.

Why not just get a CM-storm, you can get the board for 100 and still have 60 bux left for the keycaps. which are only 50 from Feng's ebay page.

The boards are made by the same oem. And IMO the black with blank white caps doesn't look very good, because there's too much contrast. the White on Grey is much easier on the eye.

It'll look like this

I don't plan on buying the caps until later, so I can think about caps some more. But I really don't care for the color or the logo on the CM-Storm, I'd rather have the simple black that the Filco has.

You're gonna pay an extra 60 bux for the case? LOLOL..

I own both a red switch and blue switch Coolermaster and a brown switch Filco as well as a red switch Filco on order and I will go the Filco any day of the week. I personally prefer the plain black casing of my Filco over either of the Coolermaster keyboards. It is all a matter of your own preference and you go with what you want.

Yes. I have the money and would rather buy something I like.
