Verdict

The Filco Majestouch Convertible 3 is a high-quality mechanical keyboard featuring dual-mode connectivity via Bluetooth 5.1 and a detachable USB-C to USB-A cable. It supports pairing with up to four wireless devices plus one wired connection, utilizing dedicated top-row buttons for seamless switching and internal dip switches for hardware-level key remapping and a Mac-specific mode. Built with a sturdy steel plate and genuine Cherry MX switches, its main pros include an exceptional ~900-hour battery life on two AA batteries, a 1000Hz polling rate in wired mode, and a refined matte finish. However, it lacks modern features like hot-swappable switches, RGB backlighting, and programmable software, while the standard keycaps are pad-printed ABS rather than more durable doubleshot PBT.
