00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:15.400
welcome to my unboxing of the filco magist stouch 2 camouflage 10 keyless so

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:22.480
what does 10 keyless mean it means this is an 87 key keyboard it is

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:27.240
short here even like a generic keyboard it's like shorter see shorter so 10

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:33.600
keyless is for people who want space savings and don't necessarily need a

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:36.440
full number pad well or a number pad at

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:41.800
all all right so what do we got inside the Box first thing we find is a manual

00:00:39.559 --> 00:00:47.559
that doesn't appear to have a word of English on it sweet ah there it is yes

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:52.079
handling a keyboard when you're using a keyboard dropping or any kinds of

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:55.039
activities may lead to accidents Place keyboard on a secure flat surface when

00:00:53.559 --> 00:01:00.760
in use the keyboard is an electrical device that contains circuits and Transformers do not expose the keyboard

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:03.280
to water or any other liquid excellent

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:06.799
good advice adopting MX switches Cherry MX switches are mechanical switches

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.119
developed by ZF Electronics Corporation Germany key travel is 4 mm deeper than

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.560
comparative models the actuation point is located at 2 mm from the top when

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:19.439
pressed down this keyboard uses individual cherrymx switches that give

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:21.200
you light touch typing okay so

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:26.640
mechanical keyboards if you guys don't know this already they are one 100

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:31.400
billion times better and this is all sort of my own personal opinion than

00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:37.280
keyboards that that are not mechanical because they are significantly more

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:42.600
comfortable they are significantly more satisfying to use because of the awesome

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:48.759
noises that they make and I can guarantee you like I I will put my

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:51.200
personal lonus guarantee of approval on

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:55.960
the concept that they will make you type faster almost everyone I've ever encount

00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:00.960
no everyone I've ever encountered it's a guarantee has sat down in front of a

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.719
mechanical keyboard started to use it and realized after a short period of

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:09.239
time that they are typing faster on it and we're talking significantly maybe 10

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:14.160
maybe 15 20% faster than you can on a membrane keyboard even if it's a really

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:19.360
good membrane switch keyboard so let's keep on going with this guy right here

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:24.000
so this one uses uh cherry black switches so the black switches are

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:30.400
actually here there's a key remover so I'm going to show you guys what exactly

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:32.360
is the Deo with the names of the various

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.200
Cherry switches so Cherry MX that is the brand of switches that are used and then

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:41.080
there okay this is a very interesting hold on I'll don't worry I'll figure it

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:44.800
out like so you put it under the thing and then probably from oh okay he's

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:50.200
laughing at me now cuz I think you're supposed to go this way um so this is a

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:54.720
key removal tool and not not the awesomest one that I've ever seen there

00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.840
that is what makes this a Cherry MX black the fact that the actual switch

00:02:56.440 --> 00:03:01.959
right there is black so the characteristics of black is that they

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:07.640
have a linear less tactile feel so you don't feel that that click that sort of

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:11.560
that spring that that uh you don't really hear the noise as well other than

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:17.120
the key bottoming out so if you put the camera close you can actually

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:20.879
hear if I don't bottom them out they're quite quiet they don't have that they

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.440
don't have that loudness that is associated with mechanical keyboards

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:28.360
however it's still going to be louder to type on than a membrane keyboard just

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:32.560
because most membrane keyboards aren't built very well and it has a nice solid

00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:36.319
back plane that you're going to be landing on if you're typing with any

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:40.239
kind of force whatsoever so I'm going to pull off a few more key caps here this

00:03:37.959 --> 00:03:45.040
is probably the faster way to do it versus that tool that's the worst tool

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.400
I've ever seen for removing key caps um

00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:51.640
not that I'm like criticizing or anything but that's sort of not yeah not

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:57.200
ideal and we're going to replace the WD keys with the

00:03:54.040 --> 00:04:00.319
included WD keys so let's have a look at

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:01.959
the layout layout is for me the the deal

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.079
maker or the deal breaker of any mechanical keyboard and it can be the

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:09.480
difference between a keyboard that I love to type on but I absolutely hate

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:13.799
and a keyboard that I hate to type on but I absolutely have to use because

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:22.160
there's no getting away from it this has my favorite possible layout no changes

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:25.000
long shift key long shift key long Enter

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:29.720
key long backspace key no long delete key awesome I I absolutely love it in

00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:34.000
every possible way you've got a fun function key here instead of a Windows

00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:38.680
key I personally consider this to be a boon for gamers because I don't think I

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.520
put those on all the way there we go a boon for gamers because you're a lot

00:04:40.520 --> 00:04:46.479
less likely to be bothered if you accidentally hit a function key CU then

00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:54.520
you'll have to like accidentally also hit like f three to mute your audio like

00:04:51.039 --> 00:04:56.199
what are what are the freaking odds like

00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:00.800
um whereas if you have a Windows key here that could potentially bother you

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.400
however I actually use the Windows key

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.240
so having a Hardware switch to turn it off because I often forget to turn it

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:12.280
back on is really annoying because I'll actually press on it I want like the

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:17.759
menu to come up or I want to uh cycle through my Windows using Windows Tab and

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:20.600
I can't so there you go Windows key

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:25.919
function key uh it does have arrow keys however you notice the number pad is

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.360
missing everything else is pretty normal the one thing that you'll notice is

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:33.199
missing so it's still got your scroll lock and it still got your um caps lock

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:37.080
buttons or lights but it doesn't have a number lock button which makes sense

00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:41.400
because there is no number pad keys are labeled on the tops

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.680
although filco does have a ton of options for keyboards we're actually

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:50.240
going to be taking a look at a fair number of their keyboards they have lots of different colors of keyboards lots of

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:53.560
different colors of switches lots of different configurations in terms of the

00:05:52.039 --> 00:05:58.720
actual layouts of the keyboards there are one of the most um varied keyboard

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:03.560
manufacturers out there but the one thing they all have in Comm common is

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:06.080
they all use high quality

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:10.199
builds and they all use high quality switches so let's just take a quick look

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:14.759
at the rest of the physical attributes of the of the camo keyboard here which

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.639
actually I was expecting to look kind of cheese ball but it actually looks kind

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:24.280
of cool uh okay so you got a flip up here which will allow you to tilt the

00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:28.759
keyboard a little bit you can see again just build quality the weight of it the

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:34.919
proper rubber that's used on it it's not going to go anywhere no matter how hard you mash on it we've also got rubber

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.039
here here here and here and then your part number and your serial number on

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:43.120
the bottom in case you need it for any particular reason so I think that pretty

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:46.880
much it comes down to uh it pretty much comes down to what your personal taste

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:51.639
is in terms of the look the layout the switches and what you're more what you

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.000
like best so in general blacks are considered more of a a gaming key switch

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.639
as opposed to a typist key switch so depending what you use your computer for

00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:04.440
you might want to go with a different skew however I don't think most typists are going to be interested in the camo

00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:07.240
uh the camo sort of look so it's probably appropriate that they used a

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:11.800
gaming switch on this model thank you for checking out my unboxing and first

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.599
look at filo's Magis touch camo 10

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:21.520
keyless don't forget to subscribe to L's Tech tips and don't forget it also includes a PS2 adapter in camo green and

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:26.520
these keyboards all include n key rollover I think well I think it's like

00:07:24.039 --> 00:07:29.759
hold on just SEC yes it does have full End Key rollover which means you can

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:33.280
press as many keys as you want and you won't run into any difficulty also I've

00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.599
been informed by Slick who's actually more of a keyboard nerd than I am that

00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.479
this is apparently better than prying them off with your fingers because if you do it with your fingers you can

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:45.280
apply pressure in the wrong way and you can accidentally damage the switch so that's why they have this tool which

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:50.560
seems goofy to me but apparently it's for a reason so there you have it thank

00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.560
you for watching
