Got my Filco MX Brown
« on: Wed, 19 October 2011, 23:04:49 »
I just received my Filco Majestouch 2 TKL MX Brown an hour ago and so far I'm still getting used to it coming from a steelseries 6gv2 (MX Black). I think I got used to the really weird layout on the 6gv2 keyboard but I can see myself favoring the Filco more after a few more hours of usage. The more I type on this thing the more I start to love it.

Just got mine an hour ago too.  Also liking it so far, but it takes some getting used to.

Congrats. That's the best board ever made (IMO).

Definitely a better feel.
Try typing on it for an hour then putting your old board back.  Domes now feel absolutely terrible.

  And not to mention a bit poorer due to how many 'boards you're gonna want to try... Just speaking from experience! ;)

Yeah, after just a bit over an hour of typing on the Filco this keyboard is much better now I love it and I can't go back to the steelseries.

2nd board ever was my Filco 87 w/ Browns (1st was Das Keyboard Blue). $1200 later, and I'm back to my first love.

I am typing on a Filco brown and the typing feel is excellent.

When you type lighter, the brown bump are very noticeable.

Congrats on your choice guys!!!
I have a filco 3 months now and i totaly love it!
I think this love grows up in you as the time passes away!
A minus thing that bothers me once in a while is , that it pings...
But even with this happening ,i love it!

Enjoy! you just bought a board that plays with your hands love!

:hail:My leopold just got here and i'm typing on it now, l love it. First mech board, im spoiled for life now, it just feels so much cripser than a mushy membrane, oh and i got a tenkeyless brown. Next step is some double shots and novelty key caps from sp, just going to do the ripster mod on most of them.
