Verdict

The Filco Majestouch 2SS TKL is a high-performance mechanical keyboard featuring Cherry MX Speed Silver switches, which offer a short 1.2mm actuation point and 3.4mm total travel for rapid input. This tenkeyless model is built with a heavy-duty steel plate and a sturdy plastic case, equipped with durable PBT double-shot keycaps in a two-tone 'Skygray' and 'Asphalt' color scheme. Main advantages include exceptional build quality, full N-key rollover for simultaneous key registration, and long-lasting key legends that resist fading. However, it lacks modern amenities such as a detachable USB cable, backlighting, and hot-swappable switch support.

What customers like about Filco Majestouch 2SS TKL?

  • Exceptional build quality with a sturdy, 'built like a tank' plastic shell and steel plate
  • Premium double-shot PBT keycaps that are much more durable than standard ABS caps
  • Uses high-speed Cherry MX Silver (Speed) switches for faster actuation, ideal for gaming
  • Includes N-Key Rollover (NKRO) support, ensuring all simultaneous keypresses are registered
  • Understated, professional aesthetic without over-the-top branding or distracting RGB
  • Costar stabilizers provide a consistent typing feel across larger keys compared to mushier Cherry-style alternatives

  • Lacks modern features like a detachable USB cable, making it less portable
  • No built-in backlighting or RGB, which may be a drawback for low-light use
  • Does not support hot-swappable switches, requiring soldering for any custom switch changes
  • Missing dedicated media keys and a USB hub; media controls are only accessible via Fn-key shortcuts
