00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:15,280
welcome to my unboxing of the filco magist stouch 2 this is a mechanical

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,439
keyboard and you can see here filco has

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:22,240
so many different configurations of their keyboards they let you have pretty

4
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:24,400
much whatever you could possibly want in

5
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:28,880
terms of the layout so you can have you can have different layouts different

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:33,160
sizes different switches under them you can have different color schemes of the

7
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:37,559
keyboards we've unboxed a cam one before which is pretty cool uh this particular

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:42,680
one has a black body cover with a 104 key Arrangement so it doesn't have the

9
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:45,280
missing number pad it has Cherry MX red

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:50,760
switches which are basically like a softer version of the black switch so

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:55,239
that is to say that it's very linear in terms of the travel there isn't like a

12
00:00:53,559 --> 00:01:00,519
resistance and then a click and then a release uh it's very linear and it

13
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:02,840
requires less Force to depress than a

14
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,680
black switch which isn't to say that it has like a neurological disorder that

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,960
causes it to be sad that is to just say

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:15,119
that um it is being pressed down

17
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:19,080
depressed not like you

18
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,920
know like it needs you know help from

19
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,400
somebody to become undepressed although actually no because it doesn't need help

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:31,720
to be I'm the one making it depressed and then if I would just stop putting so

21
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:33,439
much pressure on it then it would be

22
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,640
undepressed I don't know where I was going with any of this okay so let's

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:43,360
have a look at the keyboard itself filco is a world-renowned brand they're a

24
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,680
Japanese brand pretty much if you're into keyboards and more people are into

25
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:53,040
keyboards than you would think you have heard of filco you are familiar with

26
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:59,560
filco and you probably want a filco keyboard in some shape or form so they

27
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,560
are known for their build quality very

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:07,000
very solid keyboards it's not quite a model M but then again nothing is uh

29
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:10,879
what can I say right however as far as modern keyboards go you aren't going to

30
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,560
do any better than this there's absolutely no flex to the deck itself

31
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,599
there is that weight to it like it's not you know once again it's not a model M

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:24,440
like you probably couldn't kill a man with it but you could stun him you know

33
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,400
like if someone broke into your like your gaming den and you all like oh I

34
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,720
have you know no like axes nearby you can pick up keyboard and be like pow and

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:39,040
then hopefully you wouldn't wck the USB port because this keyboard does plug

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:43,319
into your computer by USB or PS2 with the adapter it features n key rollover

37
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,959
which means you can press as many keys as you want without running into any

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:52,120
difficulty with you know random ghosting and you know if you learn to type with

39
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,840
your face then you could type with your face and that would be really weird

40
00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:01,480
looking but like probably effective uh in terms of the layout I love it because

41
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:05,319
as I'm one of those guys who wants to see long shifts enters and backspace

42
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:08,680
keys because I have small hands and I can't reach a backspace key over here

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,519
without moving my index finger off of the J which means that I'll get lost

44
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,720
when I go back and then it'll be a total disaster and I won't know what to do um

45
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:22,400
no tall delete key thumbs up again no function key on this one that's

46
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,879
kind of interesting so two Windows keys this is I guess not a more gaming

47
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,319
oriented model whereas on the last gaming oriented one we had a function

48
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:35,120
key here with media Keys up here and just over Windows key on this side we've

49
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,760
also got a full number pad and honestly

50
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,560
in terms of the mechanical keyboard typing experience the number pad to me

51
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:46,200
is very important because in my particular job I do a lot of typing on a

52
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:50,720
number pad I can actually touch type faster on a number pad than I can

53
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,200
actually touch type in terms of written

54
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,680
like words and stuff because I enter a lot of numbers into my computer and

55
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,400
mechanical Keys make everything faster everyone that I have put a mechanical

56
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,799
keyboard in front of types faster and is more comfortable than they are on a

57
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:12,040
membrane key switch because they do provide more responsiveness more

58
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:14,840
feedback and just like they're they're

59
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:18,959
better they become depressed more EAS uh undepressed more easily as well so

60
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:25,040
that's a good thing too uh again build quality huge rubber pads quality rubber

61
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,479
pads these are incredibly non-slip four of them on the bottom you can also flip

62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,000
up these guys right here and they have folding rubber pads that aren aren't

63
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,199
going anywhere if you want to Incline the keyboard a little bit and what it

64
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:38,880
comes down to with FCO yes they're expensive yes they're a much better

65
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,800
typing experience and yes you can get pretty much whatever you want in terms

66
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:47,400
of the layout the color scheme the switches that you prefer try keyboards

67
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:52,840
find out what you prefer personally I'm not an MX red guy it's just not my thing

68
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,160
however that doesn't mean that I couldn't get this keyboard with different switches cuz feel cool rolls

69
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:02,720
