DIATEC FILCO Majestouch Stingray Low Profile Red Switch Tenkeyless Front Face Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2020-10-16

Since we were already familiar with the LP switches from the previously reviewed mechanical keyboards, we did not need any extra time to get accustomed with the Majestouch Stingray Ninja layout. The keys are very responsive but since DIATEC is using an all-plastic exterior chassis unlike the CHERRY MX 10.0, the actuation sound is a bit more perceptible. For cleaning purposes, the low-profile keycaps are even easier to remove than the full-size ones, while the TKL design allows the keyboard to take considerably less space on the desk.

A Closer Look Part II

The supplied PS/2 to USB adapter will be mostly used for legacy systems, when you have an old machine in order to play with different emulators or PC “oldies but goodies”:

The key puller is handy when performing cleaning maintenance on the keyboard, but also when replacing keycaps:

The keyboard does feature an all-plastic black chassis, while the Tenkeyless form factor allows it to be more compact; this is great for smaller office desks, especially when you are not working with a lot of numbers:

The keycaps are easily removable, and this operation will reveal the transparent casing of the CHERRY LP Red switches:

The only LEDs we will see on the keyboard are for the CapsLock, ScrollLock and NumLock functions; these also feature a graphite diffuser to minimize the overall brightness, making them less intrusive:

The Esc key does also have the function to bring the Majestouch Stingray to default settings, if presets were saved onto the board; moving further with the function keys, we will get to see some multimedia controls:

F9 will change the Fn key and App key, F10 will change the left Ctrl and CapsLock keys, while F11 will invalidate the Windows and App keys. Sleep mode can be also entered by pressing Fn+F12:

When looking at the keycaps from an angle, they really look quite interesting and it will be more difficult for someone nearby to find out what you are typing, only by looking at the blank keycap covers:
