welcome to my unboxing of the the magist touch ninja 10 keyless keyboard from
filco so filco is well no mystery
to keyboard afficianados and this one is
absolutely beautiful I actually didn't check the outside of the box before we
open this and I didn't realize that this was
I I actually you know what slick and I were discussing this before we uh before
we started doing the keyboard unboxings for all of the UN all of the keyboards
that have arrived and I was saying that I didn't think I was going to be a fan
of the side labeled keys but I am I
really like it so it looks just beautiful and elegant and plain from the
top down and then from a slight angle you can see all the keys just like that
I really like this okay so filco right no no stranger
to connoisseurs of quality keyboards um
extremely wellb built some of the best out there so there is no flex to the
deck nothing whatsoever the weight that they have even a 10 keyless model like
that which means there's no number pad you could probably still stun you know a
home Invader with it no problem with that they also have a ton of different
customization options so you can custom so many different things you can
customize the color of your deck you can
customize the types of keys that you have on it so you can either have
writing on the top writing on the sides you can have a full you can oh right you
can customize the layout so you can have a full size or a 10 keyless which Some
people prefer because they want to have their keyboard laid out like this don't
worry we have one it's here uh they want to have their keyboard like this then
their Mouse and their mouse pad and then the number pad over here as opposed to
having it on this side this is actually in sort of purist terms slightly more
efficient because if you want to get to your keyboard you go here and if you
want to get to your number pad you go here as opposed to going over the number
pad to get all the way to the keyboard so there you go um layout wise perfect long shift
long enter and long backspace it has no
number lock light so only scroll lock and caps lock but that stands to reason
because it doesn't have number keys on it
and let's have a look at what switches this one's using so filco actually sent
us a variety of their keyboards to check out and the right so what makes this
keyboard a quality keyboard the biggest thing is a the overall construction of
it and hold
on there we go and B the quality of the
switches that they're using so they're using Cherry MX switches for all of
their keyboards and that combined with
the rigid of the deck behind it is what gives you the more comfortable less
fatiguing and faster typing experience than what you'd get from a membrane
keyboard and basically unless a keyboard says it's mechanical then it is a
membrane keyboard all right so here let's cover everything so this is a body
color black key Arrangement 87 key switches are
blue which means that they are quite clicky and very tactile feeling and we
were actually looking at the Box weren't we um the keyboard features n key
rollover which means even if you type with your face it will actually register
all of your key strokes which is Handy um if you type with your face it uses a
USB or PS2 interface it comes with an adapter the printing position is front
face so that's what I'm talking about in terms of the difference and how the keys
are printed so this actually avoids a problem that a lot of people have with
keyboards and that is fading over time of the lettering these will never ever
fade so you can clearly read them and they won't fade and that that seems like
a pretty good thing to me uh right in terms of the non-s slipp so they've got
four pads down here as well as these are fairly unique so they've got a rubber
pad that actually rolls all the way around the outside of this so that even
if you have it elevated it is not going anywhere whatsoever in terms of included
accessories they give you let's put that back on uh they give you two additional
Windows Keys these ones with the side printing as opposed to the ones with the
uh embossed Windows logo on the top they give you the key remover tool and the
adapter that I talked about before it
also has a velcro wrap for the cable itself which is approximately one Linus
armspan in length which means it's about 5 1/2 ft or so so in
summary quality key switches so far out
of all the keyboards I've used in my life this is the best most solid overall
feeling one other than I did have an IBM model M and uh nothing can compare but I
actually gave it away so I probably shouldn't have done that it slicks looking at me like stricken right now I
really had one it was like an early 9s one and it was PS2 and it was just
awesome in every possible way anyway uh so other than that one this is as solid
as I've felt and this is with the three filos that I've checked out so far and
uh I really don't know where I was going with that cuz now I'm really sad about my model M but if you want a good typing
experience Cherry Blue switches are an excellent choice personally I find them
just fine for gaming as well although not Everyone likes for
gaming here get get close so you can hear
it you hear that actuation point not Everyone likes that sort of um very
narrow actuation point there whereas some of the other switches such as the
Reds and the uh blacks will have a more smooth uh key press experience I love
the noise though and I love the feeling and the the the audio feedback of
knowing that I've pressed it correctly so I yeah find it just fine for typing
just fine for gaming I type fastest on Blues as well so does uh slick so you
have to kind of try things yourself because these are so customizable get
whatever switches you want whatever key caps you want whatever layout you want
and you end up with the best typing experience yeah you pay for it but personally I think it's worth it don't
