Planning of getting Filco Majestouch 2 MX Browns.

1 month into my Logitech G510, I some how miss the feeling of Mechanical Keyboards, thanks to my previous Ducky Shine MX Red.

The keys on Filco are laser printed right? Like the 6Gv2?

Filco legends are pad printed and the covered with a clear coating, as for steelseries, just pad printing which can be worn off within days.

Just a question, Ps/2 or USB keyboard has better response rate and can type faster?

Why you went back to rubber domes?

I see. Was pretty worried about it fading. Thanks for the clarification.

No idea. Probably thought I dont really need a mechanical keyboard, but it turned out wrong.

gaming keyboard, mechanical keyboard and normal membrane keyboard or scissor switch keyboard has no difference in response rate.

As for typing faster, it depends on users preference, once you know each and every key position and fully utilizing all fingers, you will be able to type fast.

But in Mechanical Keyboard, they do detect your key press faster than membrane keyboard due to key actuation point is at half of the key press distance.

Total Keypress travel 4mm, Key press detected at 2mm. So your keypress gets detected when your press the key on the way. Mech Keyboard are being said to be able to type faster mainly due to you are able to do touch typing.(touch typing means that you don't need to completely bottom up the key press to let keyboard detect the key press.)

i thought touch typing meant you dont look at the keyboard while typing?

people aint electronics or machines... you'll hardly notice the response rate between USB and PS/2....

But then why the mechanical keyboard gives u the USB-to-PS/2 adapter? Why don't they just plug the USB into the CPU? Surely there is something great about Ps/2 than USB

USB-to-PS/2 adapter for NKRO
USB (mostly) 6KRO

Anyone know any place selling Filco Majestouch 2 MX Cherry Brown keyboard with black colour?

^^

they gives the USB to PS/2 adapter for the keyboard to achieve NKRO.

for instance, Ducky 9008S only can achieve 6KRO with USB, but with the adapter they can achieve NKRO.

Why they don't make it PS/2 directly? Simple, PS/2 starting to disappear from motherboards

Why they don't make USB NKRO? well.. cut cost or whatsoever... ask their R&D and marketing department. Although I think it won't be so expensive... (anyone can clarify?)

better send for warranty... voiding it ain't fun..

guys, any one looking to trade KBs? I got a SS 6GV2, looking to trade for tenkeyless.

this keyboard is way too pricy, so didnt planned to brought it in

looks like a huge portion of enthusiasts agrees too since you dont see any hype about it, it was like, DRAGON YEAR DUCKY IS OUT! GRAB FAST, then reaction

sad to say that... it might not even become something really legend... (dragon breath LED... zzz)

unlike Filco Linear R... (MX red on filco, but wait.. regular reds coming soon?)
