Congrats, the Christmas spirit is alive ^^

Just typing on it. The blues win with the mount plate. Much nicer than PCB-mounted blues.

I've got one big problem with the color of the key caps. They suggest I'm using my Tipro, which is very dark grey and therefore I type \| when I want to delete and I hit Enter when I try to type \.

I aslo try to hit Menu and Ctrl when I want to use the cursor keys ...

I think I should use beige key caps with this to avoid such problem.

Or I should finish my Phantom and put it inside the case.

Thank you very much for sending me this keyboard!

You are not alone.

Wiki article about Filco Majestouch keyboards now has got 2 photos.

I will add the original key caps and take another shot in a few days.

Wow, great first gift!

The standard might be high, but I'll still love my present - whatever it is.

Phew, good, I thought I was in trouble with my broken but glued signature plastics keycap puller.

It is broken by design anyway, so why did you waste glue on it?

Yeah, you should have just sent the glue...

Don't make fun of me! It was expertly repaired!

Add a white beard to it and call it Santa!

I'm glad you like it

It has Leopold caps except for the original Filco spacebar.

webwit wrote:Don't worry! I see sixty's mighty trademark right thumb already destroyed that keyboard's space bar. I doubt it will actuate anymore.

You're right but the spacebar still works! It has a MX Green underneath modded by Sixty.

I just sent the keyboard because I wanted to make someone else happy with it. I was free to send anything and decided to gift a keyboard I was not using anymore instead of selling it, that's about it

DHL is fast as hell because in less than 24 hours the keyboard went from Barcelona to Berlin. I was expecting it to arrive next week

Even my lass turned around and said "That's really nice" after going mental as I've "never made that noise when she's given me a present!"

Filco Leather wrist rest, Keyboard cover Cherry Stickers and selection of caps! I'm a happy bunny!!!

Thought my gift arrived, but it was just my cable from pexon But, it makes my HHKB look even more snazzy!

Glad to see everyone (so far) is happy with their gifts

Wait! Keyboard was not included?


Going by the key caps and stickers, it must be some Korean member.

Another great gift!

Indeed! The wrist rest by itself would already make an awesome gift!

I'm feeling humbled!

Those Filco wrist-rests are awesome, not sure if you've got as big hands as me but I find it more comfortable to have it upside down (so the highest bit is closer to your body).

Woooooo!
Thank you very much, mystery sender! Didn't have one of those babies but have been wanting to get one for quite a while. Amazingly awesome!

I'm glad to see people haven't just sent crap. Good work guys.

could we further the secret santa game by having an option to "steal" other people's gift?

Secret satan, I love it

How should that work?

BTW: Opened the Filco. Only took me my fingers and a screwdriver for the 2 center-front latches. Thanks to Ripster's guide, I had not to find the exact position by myself!

How to open a Filco

Looks much nicer without the top cover.

Next steps:
soldering the Phantom together and swap the Phantom with the Filco guts and I've got the perfect tenkeyless-7BIT-layout keyboard!

Let me show you how it is done.

You should have removed the front cap so the photo is not so dark.

photo?

7bit's ZX Spectrum doesn't support youtube video.

It even doesn't work with JavaScript on, youtube does not exist for me.

This is how I see your post:

Some nice gifts out there.
