Matias Mini Quiet Pro
« on: Thu, 15 August 2013, 19:40:48 »
Hello, Geekhackers! I just wanted to post a pic of my brand new Matias Mini Quiet Pro! This is the first time that I ever tried to use a keyboard with a reduced, compact layout. I am very happy with it. I am liking the improved ergonomics of the tenkeyless form factor. I may stick with it from now on. I think it will also be better once I break it in. Enjoy!
Keyboards currently in my possession:
Filco Majestouch Cherry MX Brown 104 key, Unicomp Spacesaver 104, Rosewill RK-9000RE (Cherry MX Red), Leopold 660C Mini Capacitive keyboard, HHKB Type S, Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

Keypads:
Leopold 210TP Mechanical Keypad (Cherry MX Red), Leopold FC210TP/NB Mechanical Keypad (Cherry MX Brown)

Other Keyboards I have tried:
Filco Majestouch Cherry MX Red, Leopold  FC500RR/AB Linear Touch Cherry MX Red, Razer Blackwidow Ultimate, Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth Edition, Realforce 103U/UB, Realforce 103U Black All 55g, Noppoo Choc Mini 84 Mechanical Cherry MX Black keyboard, Noppoo Choc Mini 84 Mechanical Cherry MX Red keyboard (white and black color versions), PLU G3000 NKRO keyboard (white w/ Cherry MX Red switches), Dell 101AT (black Alps switches), Mattias Mini Quiet Pro (modified white Alps switches), KBT Pure Pro, (2)Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2, Leopold FC210TP/CB Tactile Click Cherry MX Blue Tenkey pad

Excellent!

When you have used it for a few days, would you like to post a review?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Great, hope you'd do a review of it.....was recommended this KB by a friend when I was looking for a <TKL keyboard, finally went for a HHKB Pro2 and a Keycool 84 LED. The Matias was one of those I was considering as well.....but never really looked into it in greater detail as my heart was more or less set on a Topre switch keyboard.

I will go ahead and run it through the paces a little bit more, then write a review. Since I see it is in such high demand, I don't want to disappoint!
