Any word out on when this will be available on Amazon?  I've heard other sites saying they will be carrying towards the end of this month but they've mostly been Korean/Vietnamese/Chinese sites so I imagine the shipping would be outrageous.  

I'm drooling over a Ninja 10-keyless with brown switches for my first mechanical.

Why is everyone looking forward to the Ninjas so much? Isn't the placement of the key labels the only difference? Is that really that big of a deal?

Because the legends on plain filcos are crap, so the high tech filco guys  invented such incredible technique to keep the legends in place.

It's the wrong place but better than nothing.

Well I guess some like it. I dont mind either but I'm after a US layout tenkeyless with browns and thought I may as well get the gen2 which is only available at the moment in ninja. For a looks point of view I do prefer the look of the ninja over the standard though but I wouldnt hold out for it just for that

So instead of solving the problem with their printing/key cap production they are moving the legends and calling it something "special" and charging more for it.

I could insert a political joke here but I won't.

Ninja...

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 18635[/ATTACH]

Saw this last year after making many complaints about the majestouch coating. Actually thought it was a little dorky:-P and discounted the idea as "just working around the problem." I still think it's half-ass despite some cheers to the contrary I see here;)

Still surprised by the coating; I have an original majestouch (from 2007) which seems to have a much more durable coating than anything EK ever shipped, since then I've seen 3 different coatings which I never sorted out. Wonder if it's any better these days:-D

Thanks again for the browns. It won't arrive until Monday. I can't wait to try it. Don't forget to let us know how you like the Ninja compared to the Otaku.

My guess is that pretty soon there will be ninja keycap clones from China that you can buy to convert your regular Filco/Leo/Ducky/PLU keyboards to ghetto ninjas.  You hear it here first!

I'm thinking of just getting the black ninja and swapping it with my brown MJ2. I wanna try blacks, but have no idea when the Pokers will be getting shipped. If I don't like it I can always put it up in the classifieds.

*Edit* Ok, I think I need rehab. I actually Amazon one-clicked it before I even realized it.

Just caught this thread and I'm loving it already, since I'm considering getting a tenkeyless Brown switch keyboard. I have a Blue switch 104, and realized that I can do without the number pad. The finish on the comma and period buttons are heavily worn already.

Just don't know if I would like the browns. I do want to have a lighter feel and a less subtle click, so it sounds perfect, but I'm still afraid if the click is a little too subtle.

Browns don't have any click. It's basically a very small spot of friction around the actuation point during key travel.

What you are looking for can't be bought.

Browns are almost linear they look basically as a linear switch with some lube problems.

On the other hand clears have the spring too stiff, which is fatiguing and partially mask the more pronounced tactile feedback.

So the only option is called ergo clears (aka beige)

tbh i dont feel the tactile bump at all when i am typing. Only when i type slow and purposefully look out for it. I would say the blues feel a little looser and the browns a little firmer. If that makes any sense. Personally i prefer the browns.

I don't feel it at all either, honestly, but you can definitely tell the difference if you go from browns right to reds. Browns feel snappier.

Would be interested in your opinion on which one you like.  I like the Topre more than the MX Brown.  But as soon as I sold my MX Brown Filco Otaku, I ordered a Ninja brown as well.  I love them all!  :)

Personally, I don't know why the reds are "limited edition". I have a feeling reds are going to be more popular than blacks in general. They should make 'em a standard switch.
