Verdict

The Filco Majestouch Xacro M3A is a 65% compact mechanical keyboard featuring high-quality Cherry MX switches and durable double-shot PBT keycaps. It distinguishes itself with extensive hardware and software programmability, including three dedicated macro keys and a unique hardware macro mode that allows on-the-fly configuration without external software. Additional specifications include a polling rate of 1000 Hz, NKRO support, a USB through-port for peripheral connectivity, and physical DIP switches for toggling layouts like Dvorak, Colemak, or Mac. Main pros are its exceptionally sturdy build quality and the rare flexibility of dual hardware-software macro systems; however, notable cons include its lack of hot-swappable switches and a purely wired-only USB-C connection.

  • Rock-solid build quality with zero flex and a sturdy plastic case
  • Highly durable double-shot PBT keycaps that resist wear and shine better than standard ABS
  • Extensive hardware customisation via 11 DIP switches and support for multiple layouts (QWERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, Mac)

  • Flexible profile management allowing up to four separate configuration layers to be saved directly on the keyboard
  • Compact 65% form factor saves desk space while remaining comfortable for heavy typing sessions
  • Uses highly reliable and soldered Cherry MX switches, reducing the risk of contact failure found in hot-swap boards

What customers dislike about Filco Majestouch Xacro M3A?

  • Lacks hot-swappable switches, making it difficult for users to easily swap or upgrade switches without soldering
  • Non-wireless (wired-only) connectivity may be a drawback for those seeking a cleaner desk setup
  • The 65% layout lacks direct arrow keys in some modes and requires a learning curve for navigation tasks
  • Does not include enthusiast features like internal case foam for sound dampening or RGB backlighting
  • Standard Costar-style stabilisers can be more difficult to work with during keycap swapping compared to Cherry-style ones
