Title: Comparing Filco's
Post by: Syrislol on Mon, 14 May 2012, 16:14:02

Hey guys, I finally decided to buy a filco keyboard to represent my first mechanical keyboard purchase. I found (through ripster) a relatively inexpensive website which sells filco's, however, it is not in English. I've managed to work and navigate my way to pick out 4 Filco keyboards, they all have some key features in common.

-Cherry MX Brown
-Filco

However some of them are "Majestouch" and others are labelled as "N-Key Rollover"
here are the links (Due to being a new poster, I can not post a full link, so add "=82", or "=15" to the end of the link provided

http://www.filco.com.tw/product.php?page_id=23&product_id

#1 - =82
#2 - =15
#3 - =57

#1 is the most expensive, and I would like to know why as well.

Thanks for the help :)

Filco.com.tw is the Filco distributor in Taiwan. NKEY is out of production old model. They don't remove old out of stock models from the site.

Sure, but the NKRO one was a separate model from the regular Majestouch, and was sold alongside it. It used those gold Filco emblems, where the standard ones had silver.
