Looking for a first keyboard. Need your help guys :)
« on: Sun, 15 September 2013, 13:04:55 »
Hi every one and geekhack comunity, first i want to point the fact that i'm french living in france and that my english is not really good. So i'm apologising for that.

Few weeks ago i tryied a mechanical keyboard at my friend house while playing starcraft and it was a revelation to me, i loved the feel of those kind of keyboard for gaming / typing
 so i started to look for buying one and before finding the geekhack forum my choice was the 6Gv2 it look to be the less expensive and a good quality build but..
 i discoverd the comunity around this world and started to become really addicted to those keyboard watching video of unboxing / review / modding and know i'm looking for something more original than a 6GV2.

My first pick was the quickfire rapid but since few day i'm looking for a white keyboard, i'm looking for a keyboard who have this vintage style and design in color who make it look vintage. there is three keyboard that keep my attention :

keycool 87 white : that was the first i found but i think that he is too white

Filco tenkeyless majestouch 2 white : i love this one because he have a cream milky kind of white this is what i'm looking for but i can't manage to find where to find one to buy, there is some one amazon us but i live in europe

Leopold ffc200 white : i love this one too but really hard to find too

So i need help for finding maybe one of those filco and leopold or maybe you can give me some suggestion about other keyboard who have that vintage feeling, i love the grey colors too i will post few pictures of keyboard colors i would like.
ps : i'm looking for a tenkeless keyboard

picture of keyboard colors and nuance that i love :

bonsieur mate:)
i've been there same place as you ~2 years ago. Go with Filco and buy over linke here -->http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/white-filco-ninja-majestouch-2-tenkeyless-nkr-click-action-usa-keyboard-image.asp those guys are from uk so no problemo fast delivery (unless you want other layout).

do yourself a favour and cash which u would spend on razer/steelseries send me and rest of that buy something that is worth (seriously when you'll have already filco on your table go to ur friends house and check how poor quality are those in comprassion).

aww thx for your answer, i agree i think the filco white is a must have for white keyboard lover ! but the only problem with the link you gave me is that they doesnt look like they have this keyboard with brown switch and since i want it to play with it i would prefer find him in brown switch

it's almost like in this song: "...... we couldn't have it all ..." or it was we could........ anyways go here :  http://www.keyboardco.com/index.asp choose yours cause there's at least for first check white on brown. But you can always go with brown and get white keycaps afterwards. Also changing color of top case isn't a huge problem. Since it's your first keyboard you will be checking more and more stuff:). Additionally on that page you can choose even french layout. And selling ppl are very nice and kind just send them message with your requirements and they wiil help you to resolve it.
