Third-party reviews

What customers like about Filco Majestouch 2SC

  • Superior build quality, often described as 'built like a tank' with a rigid, non-flexing case
  • Uses high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps in an ASAGI two-tone colour scheme that are resistant to legend wear
  • Features a unique and attractive 'ASAGI' (blue-green) frame colour that stands out from standard black keyboards
  • Reliable typing experience using genuine Cherry MX mechanical switches (e.g., Brown, Red, or Silent Red)
  • Full N-key rollover (NKRO) support, ensuring all simultaneous key presses are registered
  • Compact and minimalistic design that saves desk space, particularly in the Tenkeyless (TKL) version
  • Excellent stability on surfaces due to its significant weight and large rubberised pads

What customers don't like about Filco Majestouch 2SC

  • Relatively expensive compared to other mechanical keyboards with similar basic features
  • Lacks modern 'bells and whistles' such as dedicated multimedia keys, USB pass-through, or customisable backlighting
  • The attached USB cable is not detachable, which can be a drawback for portability or customisation
  • Some users report a noticeable metallic 'ping' or ringing sound from the internal steel plate when typing
  • Standard Costar-style stabilizers can be more difficult to work with when swapping keycaps compared to Cherry-style stabilizers

Verdict

The Filco Majestouch 2SC is a tenkeyless (80%) mechanical keyboard that combines a classic, sturdy build with upgraded double-shot PBT keycaps featuring a stylish 'Dolch' color scheme. It is equipped with authentic Cherry MX switches (such as Reds or Browns) and utilizes a high 1000Hz polling rate for responsive performance, alongside a robust plate-mount design that ensures zero chassis flex. Main advantages include its exceptional Japanese-engineered build quality, long-lasting legends that won't wear off, and the use of Costar stabilizers for a consistent, non-mushy typing feel. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of a detachable USB cable, the absence of backlighting (except for intense purple lock indicators), and a premium price point compared to modern competitors with more features.
