Bright enough for you?!
« on: Fri, 30 September 2011, 02:21:03 »
Hey guys,

  Just thought I'd let you guys know about the new Filco Keyboard... It's just a variation on their existing Majestouch 2 Keyboard.

http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/KE-FKBN104M-EY2/1838/

 Who'd need a backlit keyboard if you got this baby!  lol.

And the 87 key version
http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/info/KE-FKBN87M-EY2/1838/

Just different enough to be interesting. If I am seeing the pics right the logo and LEDs are yellow too?
If I was buying my first Filco Brown I'd probably have gotten this over the boring standard black keys.
A sucker for bling.

And these things are so much cheaper now (because of the healthier AUD I assume) than when I was getting mine they seem like such bargains.

Not really FILCO's fault that the retailer calls all mech boards 'clicky' even when they aren't.
These guys were selling mech boards back a few years ago when the 'standard' board in Australia were blues (on DAS pretty much) so unfortunately they choose a website page name that made 70% sense at the time and a lot less than that now that the full range of boards can be got here. But credit to them for selling these things when almost no-one else in Oz did so. I had to get my boards from the UK only a few years ago.

We even have a local distributer of Torpe boards in MECH Keyboards which seemed almost impossible to imagine would ever be the case a few years back.

The whole keyboard area has come forward a long, long way here in 'the wide brown land' over the last 4 years or so and that's a great thing for us so I try not to whinge too much about the bits they get wrong around the edges.

I like the yellow keycaps... wondering if they are going to sell them seperately. I was thinking something like that with my filco and some WASD laser etched keycaps.

The keycaps looks so nice, and will be hard to notice the shiny keycaps with this colours.

I want this keyboard ^^

Although I don't look at the keyboard, in a very bright room I would need some protection for my eyes :tongue:

So outside of the keycap colors is anything different quality wise ?   I noticed some mention of software for gaming and new soldering points ?

As far as the internals it does seem to be a standard Majestouch 2 nothing special mentioned that makes me think the 'guts' are different.

Those words are on every MJ board at the AusPC page. What exactly they think they mean is as much a mystery to me as to you.

If you already own a Filco you could get Yellow keycaps from WASD though they are a little subdued if you compare.

The Filco logo looks Gold and the LEDs are Yellow. Not bad but I am not sure I like the keycaps. It looks like a normal mod. It'd be nice if you like dressing like the X-Men...

I must be in the minority, but that looks horrible.

I'd take the camo version over it in a second

But it's nice to see filco doing other color combos. I hope they do one with a red case and white keys.
No, he’s not around. How that sound to ya? Jot it down.

This looks just like my Realforce 87UB with yellow Topre keycaps from Korea.  Yellow keycaps on black body looks great!

Ok Filco. Enough is enough. Start putting quality keycaps on your standard models and stop ****footing around with all the hideous "limited edition" garbage. I am extremely dissapointed. Even Ripster uses PBT caps from DUCKY on his Filco. That says it all. [/rant]

That's too festive for me... But your keyboard will be a seasonal item at least :lol:
