Filco MJ2 TKL MX Blue, my daily driver

KennyR · 11 Feb 2013, 11:38

Just wanted to share my precious clickityclack with you lovely folk.

It's a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with MX Blue switches, Imsto "thick" PBT blank dark grey keycaps and a custom made Paranoid charcoal grey cable.

Pardon my lack of 'taking pictures' skill.

Simple, yet beautiful. <3

This custom Paranoid mini cable is perfect for people who want a detachable cable without damaging the case!

And it contains this little baby, AW YEAH, programmable Filco!

I want to thank the following people for making my keyboard look and feel as it does right now:

kekekeroro, for selling his keyboard to me;
Imsto, for the keycaps;
Paranoid, for the custom cable (His shop)
bpiphany, for his work on the custom controller, hmm colemak Filco goodness!

good for you

Now you just need to erase the led lettering in the case and it will be a stealth Filco

But what is up with that cable stub?

Seems a bit long for that purpose.

Edited, thanks for letting me know. He did an awesome job on the controller!

Well, I thought it would look better to have a longer stub so you could see how the cable looks when not plugged in.
It's a perfect fit in my keyboard bag so I like it.

Really really like the keycaps you've got! Obviously a nice keyboard too...

Thank you!

It's funny to see my colleagues try to type on it when they want to show me something.

You are welcome, how much did you pay for the caps? I am searching for Thick PBT Kaps on my ISO Quickfire

And for a really nice and soft braided Cord too, that stock Quickfire cable is so unflexible and hard :/

I would switch the layout to dvorak to confuse the colleagues even more hahahaha

I paid €45 which included €10 shipping. So for €35 I got a nice thick PBT 84 keycaps set.
Also, I asked Imsto to put a price of €20 on the package so I could avoid paying customs.
He's a nice guy, only the language barrier can be a bit difficult.

If you're looking for a custom cable I really recommend Paranoid's shop!
You can choose between a lot of colors and options.
Especially with the new connectors he got, the cables look awesome!

Really nice cables! I am going to order one or two of them

Thats a nice move dropping that price to 20€ but where did you bought those?
And are the caps available in ISO? with center setemmed Capslock Key?

KennyR · 16 Apr 2013, 20:09

I bought the caps from this shop, the seller is called Imsto.
Just pm him if you need information.

I don't know if he has ISO sets available, but I do know you get a stepped capslock with the set, I don't think it's center stemmed though.
I can't check it for you because I'm in another country atm, it's probably best to just ask Imsto.

Thanks a lot! I will check this and give you feedback here
