filco people arnt going to like this but they have almost the same build as the come from the same place. also if you looking for a rosewill cheap I as sell a one with red as well as one with blues. Something else that should be in you list is a WASD which i also happen to be selling with blues.

Nah I won't suggest either untill I can fix mine, as they both use same parts for my understanding.

Unless Keyboardlover is french canadian and can be at 2 places at the same time it's very unlikely.
Although I love keyboards.

I read the wikis and I know you're trolling me ;)

I believe you, usless you start signing your posts \KN or something :p

(keyboardlover uses \KL often.)

Welcome to Geekhack! I have no personal experience with either keyboard, but from what I've seen, and read here and elsewhere, both will be excellent quality.

The "MJ1 is so old skool" comment does have some merit, as there are differences, I believe the MJ1 PCB is only one-sided. This may change the bottom out noise, or other things.

I don't know the prices, but FILCO's tend to be more expensive. That's pretty much why I went with WASD and CMstorm. They are of similar quality (same OEM) and generally cheaper. I much prefer the logos and styling of the filco, though.

Just rest, assured that either one will be a good choice :)
