Where to buy a Majestouch-2 TKL with reds?
« on: Tue, 25 September 2012, 16:06:36 »
I found a vendor on Amazon that is selling a Filco Majestouch-2 TKL with reds, but before I bought it I stopped to consider whether there is a vendor or otherwise-preferred source for these. I've looked through some of the threads in the vendor forum, but I don't see any. Does anyone know of a better place to buy it or is Amazon as good as any?

Thanks!

The Keyboard Company on Amazon is the only official Filco vendor in the US.  Unless you look at used, this is the best price you are going to find within the US.

Make sure to try the reds before you buy them, maybe get one of those keychains, or sign up for that keypad with all the switches that people pass around.

Alot of people regret getting red, and either sell them, OR, they forcefully convince themselves that reds are the greatest thing ever.

I've got a KBT Pure with reds that I've been using for a while, and I, uh...think I like them more. If I decide I don't I guess I can always go back to my Das.

That's good to know! This happens to be the link I found, too, so I'll just get it from them.

Currently I think only US amazon, UK keyboardco, and NCIX are official carriers of filco.

Problem for me with the QFR is all of the hideous branding on the board. You would have to paint it and replace the keys to get that simple elegant look that the filco already provides right out of the box. The quality is of course very similar, which is nice, but it's just downright gaudy. I paid the extra coin to have the filco shipped to me ready to go.

KeyboardCo is great, just suck it up and order!
