I have the maj 2.  I do not have any problems, but like I said sometimes it just feels vulnerable.

I'm not sure yet whether I'm ballsy enough to attempt a mini-usb port mod to my filco, but man that'd be sweet.

If you ever, please post it, I would follow your guide and try it on mine also!

My friend's filco has a problem with the cable. I might try and replace it one day. I think it had to do with him always wrapping the cable around it when traveling and not paying attention to the strain he put on it.

Yeah, I've been having problems with my realforce's. My girlfriend says they are too thick for her.

The only problem I've had with my Filco wire is that it's too big and long (thatswhatshesaid).  One thing I like about the Leos are that I could presumably order a 1.5' or other custom length A to mini-B cable from some place like monoprice that's exactly the right length to reach nicely from my keyboard to my desktop hub (at home) or monitor hub (at the office) instead of having 6' of cable bundled up in a ball.
