Verdict

The Filco Majestouch Convertible 2 TKL is a high-end tenkeyless (87-key) mechanical keyboard featuring a hybrid design with Bluetooth 3.0 wireless and mini-USB wired connectivity. It is built with authentic Cherry MX switches (Brown, Blue, Black, or Red), Costar stabilizers, and a rigid steel plate-mounted construction for exceptional durability. Main pros include its multi-device pairing capability (up to 4 devices), hardware-level customization via DIP switches, and a long battery life of up to 6 months on two AA batteries. However, it lacks modern features like RGB backlighting and a USB-C port, uses thinner ABS keycaps that can develop a 'glossy' shine over time, and its Bluetooth 3.0 protocol is considered dated compared to newer wireless standards.
