Third-party reviews

What customers like about Filco Stingray TKL

  • Exceptional build quality with a heavy, sturdy feel despite the plastic case
  • Low-profile Cherry MX Red switches offer a fast, responsive typing experience
  • Quiet enough for open office environments compared to standard mechanical boards
  • Reliable N-key rollover (NKRO) performance for gaming and fast typing
  • Clean, understated aesthetic with 'Ninja' front-printed legend options to prevent wear

What customers don't like about Filco Stingray TKL

  • Proprietary stabilizers (Costar-style) make swapping keycaps difficult
  • ABS keycaps are prone to developing a glossy shine or fading over time
  • Lacks modern features like a detachable USB cable or RGB backlighting
  • High price point relative to the lack of extra features like USB passthrough or macro keys
  • Some users report a scratchy feel or 'pinging' sound from the switches before they are broken in

Verdict

The Filco Majestouch Stingray TKL is a low-profile mechanical keyboard featuring Cherry MX Low Profile Red switches with a 1.2mm actuation point and 3.2mm total travel. It utilizes a durable tenkeyless FR-4 dual-layer circuit board, high-quality PBT keycaps, and offers N-key rollover via a USB/PS2 interface. Main pros include its slim 22mm height, legendary Filco build rigidity, and responsive linear feel; however, cons include its non-detachable cable, lack of backlighting, and limited keycap customization due to the specialized low-profile stems.
