QUOTE(eddydo @ Dec 28 2013, 09:42 PM) Is this Filco majestouch 2? i googled but i found nothing 30 years? edit: I figured out this is the last keyboard i will ever buy unless i built a second computer. So, i increased the budget to unlimited as long as it is worth buying and durable and last me at least 30years (is this too much to expect?) recommendations? oh and, ABS or PBT key caps? Better get an IBM model M, proven to last 20+ years... But on serious note, Filco is among the best non-custom board you can get. And with adequate amount of switches and keycaps to swap and replace, it theoretically can last 30 years too. |

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Dec 29 2013, 12:39 AM) PC is normally used in backlit board, similar to ABS (backlit keycaps are either PC or ABS). Where the keycaps feel isn't exactly a concern there as the surface is coated. Regarding the feel, I didn't had any personal experience on it. But I think it should be similar to ABS, and on the more slippery and oily side. This post has been edited by Human10: Dec 29 2013, 02:43 AM |

Then why dun spend RM200 or RM300+ to get PBT Dyesub/Doubleshot keycaps that is more durable than ABS. |
