Third-party reviews

What customers like about Filco Majestouch Convertible 3

  • Excellent build quality and 'tank-like' durability with a heavy, stable frame
  • Upgraded double-shot PBT keycaps that are more durable than previous ABS versions
  • Versatile connectivity with both USB-C wired and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless options
  • Can pair with up to 4 wireless devices with dedicated buttons for easy switching
  • Reliable typing experience using genuine Cherry MX switches with full N-key rollover
  • Long battery life (up to 900 hours) and includes a power-saving mode via DIP switches
  • Minimalist, professional aesthetic with a premium matte case finish

What customers don't like about Filco Majestouch Convertible 3

  • Relatively high price point compared to newer competitors with more modern features
  • Non-hot-swappable switches, making repairs or customisation difficult
  • Lacks modern 'gaming' features like RGB backlighting or programmable macro software
  • The controller is now soldered to the PCB, reducing the modding potential seen in older models
  • Stock PBT keycaps, while improved, are still noted by some to be on the thin side

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.
