Title: Why this FILCO has different in-stock windows key?
Post by: hardy616 on Wed, 23 December 2015, 10:47:36
This is a Filco Majetouch 2 tenkeyless brown switch. But why it doesn't have the bump round on the windows key? Why the in-stock windows key is flat? Is it a different generation? The model is FKBN87M/EB2.

Not sure why but DAMN this look so much better, always hated their domed window key.

Though I have Filco Ninja which come with flat window key so it's not bad.


EDIT:  Ohhhh nice catch on the window 8 logo.

Aha, makes sense. On the box it says Windows 8 compatible. So looks like this is newer model.
