welcome to my unboxing of the filco magist stouch 2 camouflage 10 keyless so
what does 10 keyless mean it means this is an 87 key keyboard it is
short here even like a generic keyboard it's like shorter see shorter so 10
keyless is for people who want space savings and don't necessarily need a
full number pad well or a number pad at
all all right so what do we got inside the Box first thing we find is a manual
that doesn't appear to have a word of English on it sweet ah there it is yes
handling a keyboard when you're using a keyboard dropping or any kinds of
activities may lead to accidents Place keyboard on a secure flat surface when
in use the keyboard is an electrical device that contains circuits and Transformers do not expose the keyboard
to water or any other liquid excellent
good advice adopting MX switches Cherry MX switches are mechanical switches
developed by ZF Electronics Corporation Germany key travel is 4 mm deeper than
comparative models the actuation point is located at 2 mm from the top when
pressed down this keyboard uses individual cherrymx switches that give
you light touch typing okay so
mechanical keyboards if you guys don't know this already they are one 100
billion times better and this is all sort of my own personal opinion than
keyboards that that are not mechanical because they are significantly more
comfortable they are significantly more satisfying to use because of the awesome
noises that they make and I can guarantee you like I I will put my
personal lonus guarantee of approval on
the concept that they will make you type faster almost everyone I've ever encount
no everyone I've ever encountered it's a guarantee has sat down in front of a
mechanical keyboard started to use it and realized after a short period of
time that they are typing faster on it and we're talking significantly maybe 10
maybe 15 20% faster than you can on a membrane keyboard even if it's a really
good membrane switch keyboard so let's keep on going with this guy right here
so this one uses uh cherry black switches so the black switches are
actually here there's a key remover so I'm going to show you guys what exactly
is the Deo with the names of the various
Cherry switches so Cherry MX that is the brand of switches that are used and then
there okay this is a very interesting hold on I'll don't worry I'll figure it
out like so you put it under the thing and then probably from oh okay he's
laughing at me now cuz I think you're supposed to go this way um so this is a
key removal tool and not not the awesomest one that I've ever seen there
that is what makes this a Cherry MX black the fact that the actual switch
right there is black so the characteristics of black is that they
have a linear less tactile feel so you don't feel that that click that sort of
that spring that that uh you don't really hear the noise as well other than
the key bottoming out so if you put the camera close you can actually
hear if I don't bottom them out they're quite quiet they don't have that they
don't have that loudness that is associated with mechanical keyboards
however it's still going to be louder to type on than a membrane keyboard just
because most membrane keyboards aren't built very well and it has a nice solid
back plane that you're going to be landing on if you're typing with any
kind of force whatsoever so I'm going to pull off a few more key caps here this
is probably the faster way to do it versus that tool that's the worst tool
I've ever seen for removing key caps um
not that I'm like criticizing or anything but that's sort of not yeah not
ideal and we're going to replace the WD keys with the
included WD keys so let's have a look at
the layout layout is for me the the deal
maker or the deal breaker of any mechanical keyboard and it can be the
difference between a keyboard that I love to type on but I absolutely hate
and a keyboard that I hate to type on but I absolutely have to use because
there's no getting away from it this has my favorite possible layout no changes
long shift key long shift key long Enter
key long backspace key no long delete key awesome I I absolutely love it in
every possible way you've got a fun function key here instead of a Windows
key I personally consider this to be a boon for gamers because I don't think I
put those on all the way there we go a boon for gamers because you're a lot
less likely to be bothered if you accidentally hit a function key CU then
you'll have to like accidentally also hit like f three to mute your audio like
what are what are the freaking odds like
um whereas if you have a Windows key here that could potentially bother you
however I actually use the Windows key
so having a Hardware switch to turn it off because I often forget to turn it
back on is really annoying because I'll actually press on it I want like the
menu to come up or I want to uh cycle through my Windows using Windows Tab and
I can't so there you go Windows key
function key uh it does have arrow keys however you notice the number pad is
missing everything else is pretty normal the one thing that you'll notice is
missing so it's still got your scroll lock and it still got your um caps lock
buttons or lights but it doesn't have a number lock button which makes sense
because there is no number pad keys are labeled on the tops
although filco does have a ton of options for keyboards we're actually
going to be taking a look at a fair number of their keyboards they have lots of different colors of keyboards lots of
different colors of switches lots of different configurations in terms of the
actual layouts of the keyboards there are one of the most um varied keyboard
manufacturers out there but the one thing they all have in Comm common is
they all use high quality
builds and they all use high quality switches so let's just take a quick look
at the rest of the physical attributes of the of the camo keyboard here which
actually I was expecting to look kind of cheese ball but it actually looks kind
of cool uh okay so you got a flip up here which will allow you to tilt the
keyboard a little bit you can see again just build quality the weight of it the
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
here here here and here and then your part number and your serial number on
the bottom in case you need it for any particular reason so I think that pretty
much it comes down to uh it pretty much comes down to what your personal taste
is in terms of the look the layout the switches and what you're more what you
like best so in general blacks are considered more of a a gaming key switch
as opposed to a typist key switch so depending what you use your computer for
you might want to go with a different skew however I don't think most typists are going to be interested in the camo
uh the camo sort of look so it's probably appropriate that they used a
gaming switch on this model thank you for checking out my unboxing and first
look at filo's Magis touch camo 10
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
these keyboards all include n key rollover I think well I think it's like
hold on just SEC yes it does have full End Key rollover which means you can
press as many keys as you want and you won't run into any difficulty also I've
been informed by Slick who's actually more of a keyboard nerd than I am that
this is apparently better than prying them off with your fingers because if you do it with your fingers you can
apply pressure in the wrong way and you can accidentally damage the switch so that's why they have this tool which
seems goofy to me but apparently it's for a reason so there you have it thank
you for watching
