Cons: None, if you are looking for a compact, quiet mechanical keyboard and willing to take the time to learn some new keystrokes. For those who must have a full-sized right shift key or dedicated page up/down, home/end keys and function keys, look instead to Filco’s other keyboards.

Pros: - Built to highest quality standards. Everything you have heard about Filco keyboards is true.- Ingenious layout maximizes typing speed and minimizes wrist and arm movement when accessing navigation keys.- Ultra-compact size minimizes the distance from home key position to reaching for the mouse and leaves space for other stuff on your desk.- Cherry brown keyswitches are quiet, smooth, consistent and do not require a full keypress to engage. Learning not to press the keys all the way down to the bottom increases typing speed while reducing fatigue and the likelihood of injury.- Hefty, stable design stays put on the table.
Comment:
The Filco 67 key Majestouch with Cherry MX brown switches is the perfect keyboard for the touch typist with fond memories of the 80’s era of quality keyboards. It is easily the equivalent of my ancient IBM Model M, Keytronic and the one I bought with my Macintosh II. It is quiet and accurate, like the 25 year old Mac keyboard (which I still have and use), but supports USB without an adapter and takes up half the space on my desk. If you love the ALPS keyswitches in the original Mac ADB keyboards, you will love these Cherry brown keyswitches. The discerning typist can order this keyboard with full confidence, just make sure the layout makes sense for your personal use because you’ll probably be using it for the next 25 years!Notes:- My computers are mostly Macintosh so I use the program, KeyRemap4MacBook, to change the function keys into media, brightness and volume control, and to change the App key into an Option key.- I swap the Alt and Win keys using the Keyboard system preference to conform to the standard Macintosh key placement.- I find the leading edge of the Alt key (Mac Command key) to be sharp on my thumb due to my lazy sitting and wrist positions so I used the included keycap puller to rotate the Alt key 180 degrees, which angles it forward perfectly for Command-C/X/V/Z/S keystrokes.- It took me a few minutes to get used to the small right shift key but I don’t have any problem with it anymore. Simply train yourself to be more accurate.- The small space bar is easily employed by either thumb, which was a concern for me before I ordered the keyboard.- Do take the time to learn the Fn-keystrokes for navigation and backspace because it really minimizes the twisting of the wrist and has dramatically cut down my typing fatigue.
