Just received my new filco majestouch2 ninja TKL!
« on: Thu, 17 January 2013, 06:22:27 »
Just received my new filco majestouch2 TKL and so far I am loving the feel of it. It is my first mechanical so I don't have much to compare to but it really does feel pretty great.
It is the red cherry mx version. the keys are soo light I didn't expect them to be this light but I'm glad I'm liking it. still would take some time to get used to them currently I am making a few typos but that's ordinary because I'm trying to practice touch typing.
makes me wonder how the blacks feel now...

something I realized only after actually feeling the keyboard in hand, the filco emblem is actually made out of metal or at least so it feels because it is cold to the touch.
the keyboard body feels extremely solid and well built and is quite heavy for a keyboard.
thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Yes, Filcos are generally very well built.  Reds are light - blacks are the same (i.e. linear) but with stiffer springs.
"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
