Looking for new keyboard, (TKL Black, Blank, MX Blue)
« on: Fri, 20 February 2015, 08:28:43 »
Hello keyboard people,

Over the past few years I've been using Daskeyboards and been fairly happy about it, however I find myself wanting a smaller keyboard so
I've decided this time to get a TKL keyboard.

I've looked around and found a few options but none that meet all the criteria that I want, Im not sure there is one but that's why Im asking here :)

The following would be ideal for me:

- TKL (European layout)
- Black with preferably NO lighting
- Blank keycaps (European layout)
- MX Blue switches or similar (suggestions? - have tried brown, black and red prefer blue).
- Must not be lifted too much in the back, by default.

Thanks guys!

Filco Majestouch Ninja. I think that literally fits every criteria you have.

I've looked at Filco a couple of times, if I were to buy a Majestouch Ninja should I buy a set of keycaps aswell, I read in some review thread that the ABS plastic it comes with is quite bad quality? Where would I buy keycap sets like a black blank one in better quality

There's nothing wrong with the stock keycaps on a Filco. They're not premium, but they work and feel fine.

Until you get more attuned to higher quality keycaps, the feel of ****e ABS shouldn't bother you too much.
Go with a Filco and be happy with your life!  :thumb:

You could also get a KUL which has gotten more praise than Filco lately, but that is more expensive.
EDIT: I was super wrong... the KUL is less expensive than Filco... Also, if you go that route, you can tack on some blank caps yourself that could be of higher quality.

I cant seem to find a KUL retailer in europe though, which kinda sucks... where would I go about buying a set of blank keycaps?
