UK Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless Silent S MX Soft Linear Keyboard

Got to love a well built mechanical keyboard that is reasonably priced. This product is exactly that!

Awesome keyboard. I've used several cordless Microsoft keyboards for the past few years and have always found either the wireless or the keys start to miss key presses just outside warranty. I'd heard good things about these keyboards for programmers and its all true, not a single missed key.

I didn't think I needed the keypad though, which in hindsight I used a lot more than I realised. I've since our based the separate keypad and have my mouse mat between the two for easy access. This is expensive but worth every penny.

Very pleased with this - and a good job too. For the money and at my age it is probably a keyboard for life.

Build quality, weight and and feel remind me somewhat of old-school solid keyboards from before cost-shaved Chineseum became the norm.

The low-profile Logitech I used for a long time until now was decent enough but the never-used numeric keypad occupied too much desk space. This tenkeyless Filco solves that problem and the typing experience is in a different league.

My choice of Cherry silent reds was a guess but is spot on for me, being not too heavy and producing acceptably low noise in a shared space. They are a pleasure to use and becoming a little smoother. Although nice from the start, they did feel as though some bedding in would be beneficial.

The reasons for docking a star are that compared with some other premium keyboards, this one lacks the useful option to route the cable to different exit points and, perhaps at this price, I could quibble over the ABS keycaps.

Still, I am happy with my purchase and to recommend this keyboard. And also The Keyboard Company, for being significantly cheaper than Amazon on this item, providing efficient service and even including a useful promotional gift.

Quieter than my partner's Logitech K800. The sound is low-frequency so less annoying than the clicking of scissor switches.

Compact. I do not miss the numerical pad. Seems very sturdy. Keys are comfortable to type on and do not require much pressure to register. On the other hand, there is enough travel in them for comfort.

Downsides: low Enter key.

Feels fantastic, and the silent red switches are so so so much quieter than standard reds - can't see myself going back anytime soon. The noise they do make is quite a satisfying dull thud vs the standard high pitched clack of a red. The board has a really good weight to it as well, so won't be sliding around anytime soon.Would definitely recommend.

One note: The keycaps that come with the board are pretty rubbish and you can feel the legends printed onto each key. But there are so many customisation options out there that most enthusiasts won't be keeping a stock keycap set on one of these for long anyway right?

For me it's honestly the best keyboard available on the market. Quality definitely has its price, but its worth every penny! My typing speed on this keyboard is significantly better than on regular ones and the keystrokes feel very smooth and are also incredibly silent (even more silent than a membrane keyboard).

The only downside is that if you drop any liquid on it, it won't work anymore, but thats the case with almost any mechanical keyboard.

After agonising about which keyboard to buy for weeks, I eventually went for this one (after sending a Razer one back). I am so happy with the feel and sound of this one. I am a gamer, but I also code and type lengthy documents. Very sturdy feel, understated simple look - I love it!

I have had the Filco Ninja Majestouch 2 with blue switches for over 5 years and it is a total joy to type on. However needing something quiet but still nice for going back to the office I have just taken delivery of the Silent RedsPinks.

I am typing this on the silent reds and cannot believe how quiet they actually are so wanted to thank you again for your great purchase advice. There are no clicks or pings and plenty of travel. I can't actually believe how quiet is actually is. As you say, my colleagues wont have anything to complain about at all!

For a couple of years I have been using a Cherry MX 3000 with Blue Switches because I like it LOUD. Unfortunately I now share my home-office with other family members and they don't share my enthusiasm for the clackety-clack of those switches. Not wanting to go back to a membrane keyboard I decided on this Filco Majestouch with SilentRed switches and in a Tenkeyless form to get some desk space back.

It's a nice keyboard, solid feel, quite heavy for a keyboard so stays put on the desk and is very quiet - as quiet or quieter than membrane keyboards I have on hand. Now the family ire is turned on my Cherry MX Brown-switch using son. I don't miss the numpad and realise that I could do without the function keys, caps lock (that brings nothing but grief) and a bunch of other keys.

Overall the Majestouch is a very decent keyboard, I think a bit overpriced at £120 but you are paying for the Filco name, genuine Cherry switches, solid build and a serious business look without all that RGB gamer nonsense. I knew what I was getting and have no regrets. Would buy again from keyboardco in a heartbeat.

Nice keyboard, this is my first mechanical and I am very pleased with it especially how quiet it is.

This was my first Filco (Majestouch S with silent red switches) and it is awesome. Very sturdy feel, and absolutely silent for all intents and purposes, even the space bar.

I've really enjoyed the upgrade from browns to these silent reds. They were a little squishy to start with and the shafts rubbed a bit, but once they were worn in, they have become my favourite switches. Filcos continue to be my favourite board.

Having used whatever keyboard has been provided for me over 20 years, I've always found mechanical keyboards to be the best.

It's simply a joy to use the Filco Majestouch-2. The key travel and response is superb, with positive feel from the keys. Having the MX Silent Red keys is fine for my colleagues, but if this were at home I'd consider the brown option as I don't mind a 'click'.

If, like me, you're an inveterate laptop user and don't need the number pad, the tenkeyless option is a boost as you have dedicated arrow, page updown and other service keys.

Overall: superb, great space saver on the desk and a proper build.

This is another typical Filco built-like-a-tank keyboard.

I bought this as a quieter alternative to the tenkeyless Ninja with MX reds. Even with dampers fitted, the key-up noise made it a little noisier at home than it should be- even though it otherwise felt solid.

This keyboard, with the MX red silent switches (a.k.a. MX pink). Is noticeably quieter. It's not silent, of course, but the noise from the ordinary keys is quieter and lower in frequency, so it's a lot less annoying. Keys feel a bit more resistive, and the travel is possibly shorter-it's somewhere between the MX reds and the Matias switches, being easier on the fingers than the latter.

It's a typical Filco keyboard, so you know what you're getting in terms of upsides and downsides. The build quality is always first-rate. Unlike my old Ninja, it didn't seem to come with a key puller, however.

The other downsides:

It won't talk to USB 3 sockets with most chipsets, so if you only have USB 33.x sockets free, you might have to rethink what's plugged in where.

The keycaps are comfy, but feel like typical Filco ABS keycaps, so they will probably go as shiny as my old Ninja did right away, and the legends may well wear off. It's a pain to have to plan to spend a large amount of extra money to replace the caps on a keyboard of this quality.

Stabilised keys (the space bar being the most stark example) are still quite loudrattly- there are mods you can attempt here, but don't expect them to be super-quiet. The keyboard is still overall for a mechanical.

Overall, I'm pleased with this keyboard. It's not perfect but it's pretty great. As a home keyboard for gaming and general PC use, it's a bit less antisocial than most mechanical options, and it has a great comfy rock-solid feel in use. Very nice.

(Service from keyboardco was a great as ever, of course.)

This is an excellent keyboard and is exactly what I needed. It has elevated routine typing to a genuine pleasure. First class advice from Keyboard Co, they were spot on in recommending this keyboard.

Absolutely perfect for offfice use.

Very nice feel and very quiet.
Sturdy,heavy feel,keeps its place.

Highly recommended.

As a mechanical 'virgin', I originally bought the Filco Tenkeyless with the MX Brown keys and whilst the key action was fantastic, it was quite noisy for my environment so KeboardCo very kindly let me test the silent red side by side and overall the silent red won...
As others have said, the quality is top notch and way above my previous keyboard. I'll see how the key caps go but I can't fault it at the moment.

Great keyboard. Solis construction. Great key action. I don't use the number pad so this more compact keyboard is great. Saves a lot of desk space over my previous one.

Perfect mechanical keyboard. Reminiscent of Topre but even quieter as far as I can tell. Very classy. Love it.
