Operating Instructions
The FILCO Majestouch 3 TKL keyboard offers standard typing functionality along with dedicated media controls and full N-key rollover.
Full N-Key Rollover (NKRO)
This keyboard supports full N-key rollover, meaning every key press is registered independently, even when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously. This feature is active by default, especially when connected via PS/2. When connected via USB, it typically supports 6-key rollover (6KRO) by default, which is sufficient for most applications, but full NKRO is also supported over USB.
Dedicated Media Controls
Media control functions are integrated into the F-row keys. To activate these functions, press the Fn key (located to the right of the right Alt key) simultaneously with the corresponding F-key.
- Fn + F1: Mute Volume
- Fn + F2: Volume Down
- Fn + F3: Volume Up
- Fn + F5: Previous Track
- Fn + F6: Play/Pause
- Fn + F7: Next Track

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FILCO Majestouch 3 TKL keyboard.
Cleaning
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and case. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps and switches.
Keycap Removal and Replacement
The keyboard features durable PBT double shot keycaps. If you need to remove keycaps for deep cleaning or replacement, use a keycap puller to avoid damaging the keycaps or switches. Gently pull straight up on the keycap. When replacing, align the keycap with the switch stem and press down firmly until it clicks into place.
