Someday if I have lots more time on my hands, I might have to see if anyone has played around with the number of layers to get a better or different result.

We focused on the least frequently used digits, the thumbs, and let them work with the Function keys. There is this BT daughter board, but u might need to figure out how to mod the pinout from the 4 or 5 pin to the regular pcb, to the quick release connector the original filco board uses.

Rob 30/07/2019I've had the full-size Filco Majestouch 2 as my main keyboard for several years, but I was starting to experience tendon issue in my elbow as a result of having to move my right arm quite a long way over to reach the mouse. If you want a bit different and can allow yourself to be flexible, then you may just find you fall in love with this unique device.I had an issue with my Mac not recognising the left and right CmdOpt keys, but switching it to PC layout in Settings fixed that. If using Bluetooth connection, the personal computer must be equipped with Bluetooth function or have a Bluetooth adapter. Were it not for the unexpected bulk of the case, I think I'd be satisfied with the Minila Air thanks to its obvious excellence in most other respects. I really like this keyboard, even with the weird layout issues it introduces while trying to fix some others. With the award-winning language learning software Babbel, you can master up to 14 different different languages.

One thing I noticed is that the (1,2,3,4,U) buttons are a bit rattly when moving the keyboard around.With the Minila, I was able to take the board apart - first the frame - this is tough to do, almost as if they never thought anyone should do this. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The brown Minila, in suede, has two zips on the sides for a wide opening for easy placement and removal of the shoe. Great pre-sales service as well - I asked a couple of questions, and got a very thorough reply (with pictures! I went for the mx reds since I do a lot of typing in public places and despite liking tactility, perform better with linear switches.

They have been on this game since 2004 and they are so far removed from what people think it's trendy today (insofar as “modern” mechanical keyboards are concerned) that it shows in their products. When I posted my review of the Minila back in April this year, I was really enjoying the Filco board - the only reason I moved off it as my daily driver in work was sound profile was making me stand out a little in the open plan office.But by far the biggest difference is the split space/fn that really makes it stand out from other keyboards. I found the MINILA practical in comparison, and the ability to swap caps lock and control in the same manner as the keyboard it was replacing was a godsend. It’s just so close to the arrow keys that I end up hitting the up arrow rather than the shift key all the time.

The MINILA met all my needs - a full-size Enter key and physical arrow keys, a function layer for everything else, and a full-size keyboard for the letters and numbers. Majestouch MINILA is the Mini layout version of Majestouch and we've made it as compact as possible by sharing Function keys with other keys. Filco’s latest in wireless portable keyboards, the Filco Majestouch Minila-R (Matte Black) is the new flagship and benchmark for excellence in wireless pre-built mechanical keyboards. Issues with multiple keypresses when the batteries are low, but all else is exactly what I want (including the hardware cursor keys). There are future plans to lease by unique makers of handmade goods, in particular with the advanced embroidery technology used in Japan to make goods from kimonos, whose characteristic is "wafu" design that conjours up images of Japan.Having said all that, I love the quirks of this little Bluetooth board and I can see a “modding” project to replace the cherry switches in this thing coming in my future (keep an eye here if you want to see that)! To aid long term reliability and usability, the Filco Majestouch Minila-R uses a pair of AA batteries ( not included in India SKUs), which are easy and convenient to source. I appreciate the arrow keys and that more than outweighs the issues I have with the other keys - though the 1u right shift might be close. The most striking feature of MINILA is the "Double Function keys" located each side of the spacebar.
