00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:15.280
welcome to my unboxing of the filco magist stouch 2 this is a mechanical

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:17.439
keyboard and you can see here filco has

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:22.240
so many different configurations of their keyboards they let you have pretty

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:24.400
much whatever you could possibly want in

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:28.880
terms of the layout so you can have you can have different layouts different

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:33.160
sizes different switches under them you can have different color schemes of the

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:37.559
keyboards we've unboxed a cam one before which is pretty cool uh this particular

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

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:45.280
missing number pad it has Cherry MX red

00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:50.760
switches which are basically like a softer version of the black switch so

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

00:00:53.559 --> 00:01:00.519
resistance and then a click and then a release uh it's very linear and it

00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:02.840
requires less Force to depress than a

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:07.680
black switch which isn't to say that it has like a neurological disorder that

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.960
causes it to be sad that is to just say

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.119
that um it is being pressed down

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:19.080
depressed not like you

00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.920
know like it needs you know help from

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:26.400
somebody to become undepressed although actually no because it doesn't need help

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

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:33.439
much pressure on it then it would be

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

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:43.360
have a look at the keyboard itself filco is a world-renowned brand they're a

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.680
Japanese brand pretty much if you're into keyboards and more people are into

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:53.040
keyboards than you would think you have heard of filco you are familiar with

00:01:50.119 --> 00:01:59.560
filco and you probably want a filco keyboard in some shape or form so they

00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:01.560
are known for their build quality very

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:07.000
very solid keyboards it's not quite a model M but then again nothing is uh

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

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:16.560
do any better than this there's absolutely no flex to the deck itself

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

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

00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:29.400
like if someone broke into your like your gaming den and you all like oh I

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

00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:39.040
then hopefully you wouldn't wck the USB port because this keyboard does plug

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:43.319
into your computer by USB or PS2 with the adapter it features n key rollover

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:47.959
which means you can press as many keys as you want without running into any

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:52.120
difficulty with you know random ghosting and you know if you learn to type with

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.840
your face then you could type with your face and that would be really weird

00:02:54.440 --> 00:03:01.480
looking but like probably effective uh in terms of the layout I love it because

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:05.319
as I'm one of those guys who wants to see long shifts enters and backspace

00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:08.680
keys because I have small hands and I can't reach a backspace key over here

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.519
without moving my index finger off of the J which means that I'll get lost

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

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:22.400
no tall delete key thumbs up again no function key on this one that's

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.879
kind of interesting so two Windows keys this is I guess not a more gaming

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.319
oriented model whereas on the last gaming oriented one we had a function

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

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.760
also got a full number pad and honestly

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:41.560
in terms of the mechanical keyboard typing experience the number pad to me

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:46.200
is very important because in my particular job I do a lot of typing on a

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:50.720
number pad I can actually touch type faster on a number pad than I can

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.200
actually touch type in terms of written

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:58.680
like words and stuff because I enter a lot of numbers into my computer and

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.400
mechanical Keys make everything faster everyone that I have put a mechanical

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.799
keyboard in front of types faster and is more comfortable than they are on a

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:12.040
membrane key switch because they do provide more responsiveness more

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.840
feedback and just like they're they're

00:04:12.040 --> 00:04:18.959
better they become depressed more EAS uh undepressed more easily as well so

00:04:16.919 --> 00:04:25.040
that's a good thing too uh again build quality huge rubber pads quality rubber

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:28.479
pads these are incredibly non-slip four of them on the bottom you can also flip

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:32.000
up these guys right here and they have folding rubber pads that aren aren't

00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:35.199
going anywhere if you want to Incline the keyboard a little bit and what it

00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.880
comes down to with FCO yes they're expensive yes they're a much better

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.800
typing experience and yes you can get pretty much whatever you want in terms

00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:47.400
of the layout the color scheme the switches that you prefer try keyboards

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

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

00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:02.720
like that so don't forget to subscribe to L Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos us
