[Pozpenguin]

@wondubread "Elite keyboards"is the site for 100 bucks i just bought one the other day!

[whipydip99]

@wondubread Look in the description of the video. elitekeyboards(dot)com

[JeRRiiEz]

one of the few cherrry mx sound videos that actually has good sound quality

[CaptainHat12]

Buckling Spring is still better.

@obesehairydog if you buy on Keyboardco they sell blank keys and key removal tool

[gigaslave]

I have both a Filco Majestouch (regular 104-keys with Cherry Blues) and a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate, and I must say that the Blackwidow sounds less loud. Must be the softer plastics they use for the topside part of the casing and the thicker keycaps made of softer clear plastics.

I just love the music of cherry blue switches, clickity-clackity. Only thing more melodius is the sound of buckling springs from classical Model Ms and modernized Customizers.

[BadnessGaming]

@gigaslave i hope you bought that filco after the razer. Because i don't know why anyone would buy a razer after owning a filco lol.

[gigaslave]

@BadnessGaming I got the razer first, as my first taste of owning a mech board. Too bad the lousy board controllers die after 4 months, so I've ditched my Blackwidow after it died twice and I RMA'd it once. My only nitpick is that the filco is a tad louder, but that can be adapted to.

[BadnessGaming]

@gigaslave cool. I just went keyboard crazy and bought a filco mx black 10keyless AND a leopold mx blue 10keyless just so i can try out both lol. I'll probably end up using the blue for typing and the black for games.

[gigaslave]

@BadnessGaming If I get the chance to buy a customizer or a geekhack-refurbished Model M, I might try going back to Buckling Springs.

[BadnessGaming]

@gigaslave i don't have a clue what buckling springs feel like when typing. Are they suppose to be better...?

[gigaslave]

@BadnessGaming Their springs are more substantial than cherry mx blues. I love the THOCK sound they make when they finally buckle and strike the plating inside. I recall finding them even more tactile than blues anyday, and their solidity prevents accidental typing even moreso than cherry blacks.

I actually have a tenkeyless brown-switch filco majestouch 2, although I haven't used it much. It's nice and much quieter, but a little light on the tactile point.

[studiosushi]

@gigaslave from my point of view, Mx Blue and Buckling Springs are made for the pleasure of mechanical typing, and Mx Brown for the pleasure of fast typing.

[gigaslave]

@studiosushi That, and vintage Model Ms are built to last, so most of them can be refurbished.

[TheAndykovalchuk]

just got them today and i love them

Boxer's keyboard

Hey guys, check my new keyboard videos homemade serie feat. HHKB Pro 2, Filco, Sanwa, Unicomp, Steelseries ... Enjoy! (on my channel)

[miomao70]

This is a melody for me. :-)

The only downside is that this keyb is very pricey. :-(

Near 150 Euro from Italy.

[studiosushi]

@ivanrusic random french words/verbs from the Typing Master test :]

[ivanrusic]

did somone go frame by frame to check what's it typing :)

[studiosushi]

@johnlikesturtles +1, but I like to "feel" the typing.

[cafedunhill77]

HI thanks for the reply earlier. I found this keyboard for 120, picking it up onsite. What do you think? Is it a good price? It's USED, Like new. Thank you

[studiosushi]

@cafedunhill77 sounds pretty decent, you won't find that keyboard under $100.

[wyldeman7]

@studiosushi just got a "used for a month" one off ebay for $99. I think that's decent for a filco. But I have a feeling I might run into his same dilemma.  Sleepless girlfriend pulling the veto card haha.

[studiosushi]

@wyldeman7 hahaha reason why you should also have an mx brown or a topre keyboard in backup /o/

[RedZoneXX]

What happened to your other videos regarding mechanical keyboards and the unboxing of the filco?

[studiosushi]

@RedZoneXX sorry for the delay, gonna try to publish new ones in the following days!

[c0xb0x]

The sound of this video is very close to what what the keyboard itself sounds like IRL, without the resonance that a desk adds.

[merakko]

i just got mine yesterday from keyboardco!

it's a tenkeyless with italian layout thanks to the superb staff!

[cafedunhill77]

I have a question. What would u go with if you have choice between THIS ONE and Das Keyboard Ultimate. They are both Blue switches. And Why? Please let me know!

[studiosushi]

@cafedunhill77 the general design & look: a pure rectangle. no extra edges or shapes.

[cafedunhill77]

I loled when it said Otaku ...

[Dudemag]

Just got mine today used. Best 110$ I ever spent.

[studiosushi]

@Dudemag bet you gonna say the same for your next one (topre, hhkb, poker ...) xD

[DigBickPlaya]

that loud clicking is pretty obnoxious

[ArchAngeLiG]

yayyy! :D and im getting a xarmor keyboard its supposed to be like that exactly kinda...but with back lights ^.^ IM me or something when you make new one :DDD

[TheMetaphorR]

Wish i could get one. Can't find one though. Can you help me?

[studiosushi]

@TheMetaphorR Did you try to find one on Keyboardco?

[TheMetaphorR]

@studiosushi I only found a filco with brown switches which I guess im going to get. I want one so bad.

[ShockaSlim]

@TheMetaphorR They now have a lot of them in stock on Amazon. KeyboardCo is the seller, but you can get them without paying the ridiculous shipping prices now.

[shrumpkin]

You should also try the Matias Tactile Pro 3, if you're a Mac user. It's an incredible keyboard with Alps switches, which are harder to press than the blues (I also have the same keyboard as you do in this video), but the Alps are more precise and faster IMHO. Give it a spin if you haven't already.

Nice video.

We need a LONG one next time.

[studiosushi]

@shrumpkin Thx for the ref. Coming soon videos: Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless "Otaku" Keyboard (Cherry MX Brown), Sanwa, Unicomp, IBM Model M, Das Keyboard, Steelseries 7G and ... a Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2 (white + blank keycaps)! :]

[ArchAngeLiG]

can you please...make a longer video? :D

[studiosushi]

@ArchAngeLiG I'm shooting new videos, stay tuned :]

[OhTheK]

Is there any difference between Tactile Touch and Tactile Click? or are they just the same.

[studiosushi]

@OhTheK check the elitekeyboards faq!

[KClazZI]

The..sound..is..AMAZING

[studiosushi]

@KClazZI can't stop typing! xD

[playblabla]

VIDEO is enhance sound effect!!!!!

haha it's a joke

[6overclockster9]

Nice video!!! which type of layout is the keyboard? Couldn't see the enter key to make it out. Crisp clear sounds of blue, music to my hears :)

[studiosushi]

@6overclockster9 Thx ! Filco keyboards are "qwerty" only. I chose the "blank keys" / "Otaku" model because of its pure design, but also because I'm using a Mac OS X profile with different positions for characters like #, @, =, +, - etc ...

[quijeros]

@studiosushi I think he was asking about the language layout of the keyboard itself, which based vendor I would guess it's the English layout
