Das Ultimate, Filco Majestouch MX Blue (blank key), Happy Happy Keyboard Professional 2 (HHKB) previous user reporting in.

I tested my friend's Realforce 87U Tenkeyless 55G (too stiff) and Filco Majestouch MX Brown (great kb) .


To me,

Das is good (tactile), but clicky (loud!)
Filco keyboard is great (more options - black, blue, brown switches)
Happy Hacking Keyboard is one of the best keyboard so far. I LOVE IT (tactile feel, sound is sweet!!!)
Realforce 86U (variable weight)? Out of budget. I will try it in the future.

Here's the review
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1678/giga...oard/index.html

I didn't know Gigabyte had mechanical keyboard even as early as 2008 :/ Sooner than Razer did anyway.

Someone mentioned the Gigabyte had build quality issues, not sure what exactly :/ but from the review they reckon
@alvin

So das blue clicky is loud. But what about Filco blue clicky ? Is that acceptable or do you reckon a cherry brown kb is needed if noise is a main decision factor doh.gif

Cherry blue is clicky(loud). Tactile feel of cherry blue is great. You will like it for sure.

I personally prefer quiet environment. So, I choose Cherry MX Brown. The sound difference (noise) between Cherry MX blue and brown is significant.

If you have extra money, you may try Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2 and Realforce. It is worth the premium. nod.gif nod.gif

I'm a Johorean. I will stay at home during semester break (December).

You may contact Top-Gun. He has all keyboard mentioned above except Filco Majestouch Cherry MX Blue and Das Ultimate.

My HHKB Pro 2 was sold to him 3 months ago. I bought it at $299 USD ($254 kb + $45 shipping fee). FYI, the current price of HHKB Pro 2 is $275 USD (not include shipping fee yet) nod.gif

I generally don't encourage people to buy a Das keyboard. Some problems happen in Das keyboard. You also know that.

Filco Majestouch produces standard quality keyboard.

Once you have a Filco keyboard and want to have better typing experience, you should consider Topre Electrostatic Capacitive Key Switches keyboard (Realforce / HHKB).
