Around 3 weeks though they send it with tracking so you can see where it is.

I miss the click of my DAS but since switching to a zowie the build quality is a lot nicer with less sharp edges making it far more comfortable.
Still can't say which I'd prefer but two fantastic keyboards.
I miss the click from the blues also. As I type as much as I game these days.
The Filco Majestouch 2 just got hammered over on a bit-tech review, 67%. Not sure i agree with most of what they said. Called it too basic for the price. I think the fact its a no nonsense board is a plus point personally.

Yeah, they seem more interested in unnecessary features rather than realising (and reading) what the product is.
Still, received this today, absolutely love it. Looks awful in the picture and very nice in person! and with MX Browns, very nice to type on.

That is absolutely awesome!!!
Just ordered the Qpad mk-50 with black switches.
Basic keyboards like that are good, but not for £130. You can get the same quality and features for £50 cheaper, such as a Ducky.
Reds/Blacks.
I would kind of agree with the review to a point - I like no nonsense boards and happily pay a good price for them - but to a point - ~£100 is what I'd expect to pay for a mechanical keyboard, even one with a paintjob - if I was spending £130+ I'd be expecting a bit more than a plain mechanical keyboard.
So I'm finally looking for a mechanical keyboard and I'm finding it really difficult to find a product that fits all my needs in a market that is full of expensive products.
With a little compromising I'm down to simply requiring ISO (UK) Layout and Brown Switches at the very minimum. I'm indifferent on tenkeyless although I might as well go for it.
After hunting around I decided the choice was between the very expensive Filco Ninja and the great value CM Storm Quickfire Rapid, which is almost half the price.
Unfortunately, now it seems the Quickfire Rapid is impossible to find with Brown switches. It was certainly sold at the end of 2012 as plenty of people bought one. Right now it isn't in stock at any major retailer and only one lists it on their site at all (with a pre-order notice).
So, where did it go? Will it be back?
If I can get away with spending £65 for the Quickfire Rapid I'd much prefer that. I recognise quality and do like Filco keyboards, but saving £55 is pretty huge.
Why do companies keep dropping Browns from their product lines?
Also why isn't there a white Filco ninja in ISO layout, because that would be immense!

Reds and browns preferred, followed by blacks in my opinion, as they are stiffer.

Gotta say....I loves my corsair k90! It's a joy to type on and the wife loves typing on it as well. I have not had any experience with other types of switch I would hate to go non-mech now.
