Verdict

The Filco Majestouch TKSP is a specialized mechanical keyboard combo that pairs a Majestouch 3 Tenkeyless (TKL) base with a matching standalone Majestouch 2 numpad, effectively offering a modular full-size 108-key layout with an aluminum plate and steel reinforcement for exceptional durability. This wired setup features genuine Cherry MX switches, high-quality PBT double-shot keycaps for longevity, and N-key rollover via PS/2 (6-key via USB) to ensure precise inputs. Its primary advantages include its legendary 'tank-like' build quality, a minimalist professional aesthetic, and the flexibility to position or remove the numpad to maximize desk space or improve ergonomics. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of a detachable USB cable on the main TKL unit, the absence of modern enthusiast features like hot-swappable switches or backlighting, and the use of proprietary Costar-style stabilizers which can make finding third-party replacement keycaps more difficult.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Filco Majestouch TKSP?

  • Modular design allows for a flexible desk layout by using the numpad on either side or removing it entirely to save space.
  • Exceptional build quality with a heavy-duty, steel-mounted chassis that eliminates flex and movement.
  • Uses genuine Cherry MX switches, providing a consistent and high-quality typing experience for both work and gaming.
  • Equipped with PBT Double Shot keycaps (on Majestouch 3 TKL) which are more durable and resistant to becoming 'shiny' compared to standard ABS caps.
  • Costar stabilizers offer a crisp, non-mushy feel on larger keys that stays consistent with the rest of the keyboard.
  • Hardware-level customization via DIP switches on the back for remapping keys without needing software.

What customers dislike about Filco Majestouch TKSP?

  • Lack of 'modern' enthusiast features such as hot-swappable switches, RGB lighting, or internal sound-dampening foam.
  • Costar stabilizers can be more prone to 'rattling' and make swapping custom keycaps significantly more difficult.
  • Some users report a metallic 'ping' noise from the metal plate when keys are released after bottoming out.
  • High price point for a 'basic' feature set, which may be difficult to justify for users looking for extensive macro or media keys.
  • Non-detachable USB cable on standard wired models limits portability and ease of replacement if damaged.
