White Filco Majestouch-2 Tenkeyless Tactile Touch
« on: Mon, 18 April 2011, 23:35:06 »
Hello fellow GHers,

I was looking for a white filco tenkeyless with Cherry MX Browns.  Where can I find one of these keyboards?  I was looking at the Keyboard Co., but they don't sell one I think.  Any suggestions and what's the cost?  Also, at keyboard co., I was wondering what is the difference between the French, German, UK, Swedish Majestouch 2 keyboards?

Thanks!

Well you already have them on The Keyboard Company page: http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard_details.asp?PRODUCT=693

It's the White Filco with MX Brown.

Can't tell you the main differences in the new version, only the more obvious that is the ISO Layout.

I see... Thanks I'm so dumb.  I was just browsing through Keyboard Co., and I saw it.  Then I was like... now I feel dumb haha.  So this is the older version of the Majestouch?

That looks like the older version.  OTOH the newer version uses a different PCB with through hole design and a gunmetal logo.

Yes, Those are the "old" Filco. I was meaning that they have the White Tenkeyless but not the Majestouch 2 White ( Haven't seen any yet).

Honestly I haven't seen it for sale anywhere yet but I tend to look at stuff that we can get in the US so it may be available at other places that I don't know about.  IIRC the Majestouch 2 in black with blue/brown switches was recently released in the wild.

Should I just purchase it or wait for them to produce the Majestouch 2 White?  Does it make a big difference? These are quite pricey.  I calculated them to be $169 including shipping by converting the british pounds to usd.

I don't think it's worth it but I'm sure there's others that disagree!

What isn't worth it? The price, waiting for the newer version, or getting it now?

What about this http://www.armygroup.com.tw/shop/goods.php?id=5528 ?

Edit: I'm assuming this one is Cherry MX Brown, because the other "tea-axis" shows brown in the pictures. The black one says black, cherry mx blue says green, and red says linear.

In the short time I've been on this forum I think I've come to the realization that just because it's unique and special doesn't necessarily mean you need to pay a hefty premium for it right away.  I'm still learning the ropes but Amazon sells the tenkeyless v1 for $140 shipped; the "limited edition" v2 with reds for $165 shipped (that is if/when they have them).  I kind of set my ceiling based on that.  I really do like the white I just don't see myself spending $200+ for it.

That's the older model, you can tell by the logo. It's also out of stock judging by what I can see. The armygroup price BTW is more reasonable imo!

Yea, I think I'm going for the one on the armygroup.  I think there was a post to "How to Checkout with armygroup" I think.  Can someone link it?  and MrSneis, can you confirm if this product I listed is Cherry MX Brown? or you aren't sure?

Shipping's going to cost you about $30.  KeyboardCo is good people though.

Oh damn.  What do you mean armygroup is OSS? You were somewhat right, because I think I need an account to purchase the items, but I don't know how to make an account.

I don't think it's possible to buy from them because they appear to be out of stock (OOS), I could be wrong though.

The red icon should normally be a green cart!

So I checked the Keyboard Co. again, and I put the item in the shopping cart and proceeded with paypal.  The price turned out to be $172.86 USD with shipping I think.  Is that worth it?

Do it!  Get a keycap puller or two and some colored keys while you're at it!  Oh and some Otaku keys for me too ;)

Yea... I'm probably going to wait for it to be on Amazon or something, or maybe I'll just purchase the black version... anyone know where I can get that one? or is Amazon restocking soon?

I'll probably order it as soon as I sell my other keyboard... I thought about it again and $19 isn't that big of a difference.

not quite a Filco, but the white PLU ML-87 with browns in the group buy section is only $70 shipped :)
I have both a PLU and Filco tenkeyless, and the PLU is close in quality, and much cheaper.  great choice for a white tenkeyless with brown switches.
