I just got my hands on one as I wanted to compare it to the Zowie Celeritas, I didn't like how quickly the key lettering began to wear on the Zowie.

So far the Filco is just beautiful to type on with the only initial drawbacks being no way to disable the windows key, not that I really hit it by accident, and that it makes a lot more noise than the Zowie when the keys bottom out.

Construction seems very solid, the Zowie is not as solid.

The key lettering on the ninja is excellent, it's still easily viewable with it being printed on the front of the keys.

I also just picked up a Dell U2311 for $222 @ Harris Technology, I've been drooling over one for a very long time and I got sick of playing on my friends only to come home to my Samsung.

Are these any good to game on?

I know near little about them.

And what is the difference between the colored switches.

Is this just personal preference? I don't understand why you would have dif colors under the keys.

I have a feeling it's different strength or "give" on the keys?

if we could get more info that would be good

Switches differ in tacticle feedback, sound feedback and actuation force.

I don't have a link to the information, but I'm sure Bilbin will swoop in with it eventually.

Ask away and I'll do my best to answer.

brown > black > blue

The spacebar compresses evenly no matter where you press it, something that the Zowie and other keyboards I've owned have had issues with.

I've put some small o rings on the back of the keys, as some sites suggest, and it's considerably reduced the sound the keys make when they bottom out without interfering with key function.

The keys feel really good. I was concerned after coming from rubber coated keys that they would feel slippery and they don't.

It's quite heavy, which aids in it's steadiness on the desk, and it doesn't take up a lot of space.

I have to say that it feels a lot better than the Zowie, even though they use the same switch, and I'll definitely be keeping this and returning the Zowie.

At first the price seemed steep ($167.20 @ AusPCMarket) compared to other mechanical keybboards but after having tried what Zowie, Steelseries and Das have to offer I have to say that it's worth every cent.

After only using it for a few hours I can't imagine using another keyboard, it's an absolute delight to type and game with.

I wish I had a camera at hand so I could take some photos, it's a very clean looking product.

It comes with a key removing tool and two replacement windows keys that have the windows logo on the front, the default ones have them on top like most other keyboards.

Oh and it has a plastic key cover which is handy for keeping the keyboard clean when not in use.

I still enjoy my Blue's. Blacks seem like they'd suck dick to type on.

I'm getting the tenkeyless version of this exact keyboard sometime soon. I can't wait!

When I get it, I'll have enough room on my desk to get a Qck+ heavy. Then all I'll need is my new computer and monitor, and I will be in gaming heaven.

You'd be surprised how little room the 104 key model takes up Anomaly.

I have one of those roll-out tray things, it's ~85cm across. With a 35cm keyboard and 45cm mousepad there isn't going to be much room for the numpad that I never really use Atm I'm using my G15 and it takes up ~50cm of space, so I have a shitty 25cm Goliathus (I use 50cm/360 sens so it doesn't always work too well) XD

The keys do feel a little bit closer to each other than my previous keyboards, it's taking some getting used to.
Actually it's not that they're closer together, it's that the top of the key cap is smaller than previous keyboards.

You'll abolsutely love it though man, I'll never use anything else.

Here is a pic showing the size difference between the Celertias, Majestouch 2 and Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless if anyone wants to see the size comparison:

I came across this while searching for a way to disable the windows key.

It works perfectly, no more start menu popup.
