Product Description

The Filco Majestouch Xacro M3A is a compact mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a customizable layout and dedicated macro keys in a solid wired design. It fits well for typists and programmers who use multiple keyboard layouts or need quick access to macros. Its wired USB connection and compatibility with Windows, Mac, and Linux make it practical for desktop setups without wireless needs.

Key Features

Layout customization via dip switches allows switching between QWERTY, DVORAK, COLEMAK, and Mac layouts without software.
Three dedicated macro keys and support for up to 8 profiles with 3 programmable layers provide flexible key mapping for repetitive tasks.
Filco Assist software enables programming macros by inputting key patterns, enhancing customization on Windows.
Includes 10 additional keycaps for common modifications, supporting user preferences in keycap appearance or function.
USB through-port and removable USB-C to USB-A cable add convenience for connectivity and cable management.

Build Quality

Plastic top and bottom case with plate-mounted Cherry MX switches offer durability and stable keypresses.
Keycaps are made of PBT with double-shot legends, ensuring resistance to wear and clear legends over time.
Compact ANSI layout in black with white legends provides a clean, minimal look suitable for various environments.

Typing Experience

Available with multiple Cherry MX switch options including Brown, Blue, Red, Silent Red, and Silver, allowing users to choose tactile, clicky, or linear feedback.
Plate mount design contributes to a firm typing feel but does not support hot-swapping switches, limiting switch customization without soldering.

Compatibility

Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, making it versatile for different users.
Logical layout is US QWERTY, with dip switches enabling alternate layouts without software changes.

Trade-offs

No wireless connectivity, so it requires a wired USB connection at all times.
Lacks built-in audio or microphone ports, which may be inconvenient for users wanting integrated audio passthrough.
Not hot-swappable, so changing switches requires desoldering, which may deter hobbyists who frequently swap switches.
