UK Filco Majestouch 3 MX Blue Click Double Shot Keyboard

I set out looking for basically the polar opposite of my dying Logitech G910: heavier switches with a longer travel and more tactility, minimal fancy features I never use, and switches that won't start failing after a year; while still wanting a full-size UK layout.

So far the Majestouch 3 is just that. It is very unassuming and basically its only feature is the media combo keys. I went with the MX Blues for their slightly higher force and tactility over the Browns, and find them very nice to type on. Unsurprisingly it's a loud board, both from the click of the Blues, the bottoming out of the keycaps, and the slight Filco ping, but I like the sound, even if it makes typing always sound like I'm pounding out an angry letter.

It's also decent for a bit of gaming, though it takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you notice you can reset and actuate the key just before the tactile bump on the way back up. A wrist rest would be a good buy if you rest on WASD a lot.

It also definitely seems well built, it's a heavy board and feels solid. Filco seem to have a reputation for reliability: only time can confirm that, but it certainly feels it will last a long while. The keycaps are a tiny bit wobbly, but you don't notice it in actual use; they are double-shot PBT though and should last basically forever, unless you sweat pure acid or something.

Overall, I am enjoying the keyboard a lot, and hopefully will do so for a long time. It is a bit pricey, but it certainly feels the money has gone into making a quality keyboard. There is little in the box other than the keyboard itself, a bit of documentation, a cable tie, and PS2 adapter (which is unnecessary for NKRO as that works over USB.) The Keyboard Company did send some little bonuses, including a cute little weepul, who I love dearly and has since taken up residence on the Filco logo.

In my opinion, Filco offer the best serious minded, high-quality, no nonsense keyboards on the market.

I have tried competing brands. In my view, you cannot do better than Filco if you want an excellent unmodified typing experience, out of the box, backed-up by great build quality.

Prior to this keyboard, I ran a Filco Majestouch 2 (with Cherry MX Blue switches), as my daily professional work from home keyboard.

I have moved over to this new Filco Majestouch 3 (again, with Cherry MX Blue switches) to continue with my professional work.

It is *every bit as capable* as the excellent Filco Majestouch 2, replicates the same build quality, *but this time*, and most notably, provides superior PBT key caps, which will last longer (and wear better) than the ABS key caps on the Filco Majestouch 2.

I highly recommend this keyboard for working people who type *a lot*, every day, and who do not want to fiddle about with modifying their keyboards. Typing on it is a pleasure, and my keystrokes feel quick and accurate.

Final word: Filco is where it is at for an excellent out of the box experience, with zero need for modifications. I strongly recommend this keyboard as a daily driver.
