Filco Majestouch 2 Cherry MX Red Mechanical Keyboard Unboxing Linus Tech Tips

The video opens with music and an enthusiastic unboxing of the Filco Majestouch 2 mechanical keyboard, highlighting Filco’s wide range of configurations, layouts, sizes, and color schemes. The host explains that the specific unit shown has a 104-key layout with a black body, and uses Cherry MX Red switches, noted for their linear travel and lack of tactile bump. He clarifies that Red switches require less force to depress compared with Black switches, and casually jokes about the clicky sensation and the concept of depression in a humorous way that keeps the tone light. The build quality is emphasized as a major selling point, with claims of near-zero deck flex and substantial weight, underscoring that this is a premium modern keyboard option. The host discusses practical considerations such as USB and PS/2 compatibility, N-key rollover, and the presence of a full number pad, which he values for frequent numeric input during work. He notes the absence of a function key on this model, contrasting it with gaming-oriented variants that include media keys and dedicated Windows keys, and he comments on the typing experience, particularly the importance of a number pad for his workflow and the overall speed and comfort provided by mechanical switches. The video rounds out with a reminder that Filco keyboards are expensive but beloved for their build quality and typing feel, and encourages viewers to subscribe for more unboxings and computer content, while acknowledging that individual switch preference varies and that a different switch option could be chosen to suit personal taste.
