Same thing except the differences are with the keycaps.

The Ninja has a black logo (MJ2 has a silver logo) and it does not have the "Scroll/Caps Lock" text.

Thanks.
I read somewhere about materials of keycaps. Majestouch 2 has ABS and Ninja has something other, is it true?

According to the reviewer from Nov 17th: http://www.amazon.com/Filco-Majestouch-2-Keyboard-FKBN104MRL-EFB2/dp/B007VAFWPA

"This is the second Filco board I've owned.

The build quality is amazing as usual, and the red switches are glorious.

The keycaps are kind of thin and the ABS caps go shiny pretty quick for me, but I always put some custom PBT caps on all my boards so this is a non-issue for most keyboard enthusiasts."

I was under the impression that the MJ2 has some UV coating to "protect" the printing, whereas the Ninja does not, for obvious reasons. I remember seeing a thread about it, specifically about the coating wearing off too easily, but I can't find it.

I dont think that they have a coating. Probably only coated on Backlit keycaps
