In the five-star world of Amazon ratings, this keyboard deserves SIX!
I've owned the 104-key version of this keyboard (FKBN104M/EB - includes the numeric pad) for nearly two years now. It is easily the finest keyboard I have ever owned. Mechanically and electrically, it is essentially identical to the DAS mechanical keyboard -- both are available with N-key rollover and have Cherry mechanical keys (brown, blue, or black). The DAS adds a 2-socket USB 2.0 hub and has a slightly larger frame (approximately 1 inch larger in both length and width). Plus, the DAS has a shiny, piano black finish (beautiful, but a major dust and fingerprint magnet). I prefer the smaller, matte-finish frame of the Filco Majestouch.
As proof of my faith in the Filco Majestouch, I've just purchased this 10-keyless model (FKBN87M/EB - lacks the numeric pad) to toss in my suitcase when traveling. And, as soon as its bigger brother comes back in stock, I plan to order two more of the 104-key version like my original -- a second for the office and one for home use.
The Cherry "Brown" mechanical switch is the most ergonomic and tactile of the various models -- probably best for serious typists. While not a true "buckling spring" design, its action is reminiscent of the the old IBM Selectric typewriters. The Cherry "Blue" is similar but has a very distinct mechanical click -- too noisy when others are working in close proximity. The Cherry "Black" and "Red" mechanical switches require more finger pressure and are linear in their action -- a better choice for gamers.
