4. Operation

The FILCO Majestouch 2 TKL operates as a standard USB keyboard.

4.1 Basic Usage

Simply type as you would on any standard keyboard. The tactile feedback of the Cherry MX Brown switches provides a distinct feel for each key press, enhancing typing accuracy and comfort.

4.2 N-Key Rollover (NKRO)

The keyboard supports True N-Key Rollover via USB. This means that every key pressed simultaneously will be registered by the computer, preventing "ghosting" or "key jamming" issues common with standard keyboards. This feature is automatically active and does not require any special configuration.

4.3 Indicator Lights

The keyboard features standard indicator lights for Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock (though Num Lock functionality is typically managed by the operating system on TKL keyboards). These lights illuminate when the respective function is active.
