FILCOMajestouch-2 NKR 104 ASCII with Red Switch, USA FKBN104MRL/EB2

The FILCO Majestouch 2 is a keyboard intended for people who want nothing more nor less than a no-frills typing experience.There are no volume controls or extra ports because this is not made for that audience of people. The intended audience here are for business professionals who spend their day at a computer. And for gamers who want a purist keyboard with great compatibility of any of the common keycap manufacturers.Your money is being spent on the high quality metal base plate and stiff heavy plastic frame, genuine Cherry switches, and fantastic N-key rollover (if you purchase a model that specifies a "N" in the model number only!) ** a note about N-Key Roll over - If you want 'True N-Key Rollover' use the PS/2 converter. USB is limited to 6 keys simultaneously because of the USB specification - has nothing to do with this wonderful device, that's why they give you the adapter!PROS:- Heavy, solidly built out of high quality materials.- Double layer PCB with thick traces and every key cap has been fully soldered into place- The highest quality switches on earth, (Cherry MX)- The keyboard controller electronics are excellent, I never had any weird issues with NKRO on my model.- This is a USB, non removable cable keyboard that has no ports to break or bluetooth to pair. The included PS/2 port converter has worked on every computer I have tried. Ancient Intel Pentiums for Windows 16-bit development work all the way up to Android cellphones via a USB-OTG device and everything in between.CONS:- Stock keycaps are junk. but if you are buying this keyboard you will likely replace them anyway.- Some times pressing the keys a certain way releases a metal 'pinging' noise. when the keycap bottoms out.- The adhesion of the rubber to the feet of the keyboard is done through friction, if you slide this around a lot you will find yourself placing the rubber back on manually.- A lot of people dislike the "pinging" sound that could happen when you bottom out keys in certain situations. To me it sounds nice :)FILCO is a legendary name in this field but their export products (I purchased a FKBN104MC/EB2) are made in Taiwan. If you want the original, made in Japan FILCO, your only choice is to use a Japanese mail forwarding service and order from FILCO directly. That being said I have had had no issues with my Taiwanese model.

Once you use a mechanical keyboard you'll be spoiled for life. I'm a software engineer, and bang on a keyboard all day. I've used several different makes over the years, and the Filco is the best. No bells or whistles, just all function, and built like a battleship. Trust me, it's definitely worth the price.

Best keyboard ever! I'm tempted to buy a spare, in case it becomes manufacture-discontinued.

It’s very good.
