FILCO Majestouch Ninja Tenkeyless Review

Closer Look


The underside with the legs extended


The underside of the keyboard is fairly unremarkable, but there are two legs to elevate the angle – we’ll look at this in more detail later. The keyboard has four rubber pads to secure it on the desk and prevent it from moving around. Coupled with the fairly weighty mass (around 1Kg), this means the keyboard won’t move unless you want it to.

The Ninja is made of high quality materials – this is apparent from appearance and touch. Here you can also see the front-printing on the keys in more detail. The FILCO logo is also embossed into the front of the keyboard, but is quite discreet, in keeping with the theme.


This is the first time the Ninja has been available as an 88-key UK model


Most of you will also have noticed this is the Tenkeyless model, and as such there is no numpad area. These keys aren’t essential as they are duplicated on the rest of the keyboard, but those who use the numpad extensively for data entry will miss this or at least have a difficult transition. On the other hand, the benefit is that you will gain desk space, especially around the area where you keep a mouse if you’re right handed. There’s always still the 105-key UK full size version with a numpad also available from the same vendor though, so fear not if you can’t bear to live without it! The scroll lock and caps lock lights have no labelling to keep the look stealthy, and illuminate with rather bright blue LEDs. You’ll definitely know that you’ll be typing in CAPS before you hit any key.
