The fact that the keyboard was better stock than moded gives some props to Corsair, I honestly expected something way worse, but it is even better than the one from Razer and also $40 cheaper

As a Brit, I'm only here for the knob really, nice knob Hipyo

It's nice to see gaming keyboards slowly moving into the "at least acceptable" range. The value isn't there, and probably never will be, but it sure beats hardwired cables, terrible to open cases, and all the other crap, even from a repairability standpoint. Regarding northfacing LEDs, as far as I'm concerned, either go northfacing or don't bother. If you do care about RGB, and if you're buying a gaming keeb, you probably do, southfacing is terrible, because it doesn't work well with 99% of shine-through keycaps, and if you don't care, then having LEDs doesn't really matter at all.

unpopular opinion here but I think north facing LED's look better, no bright spot at the bottom of the spacebar. plus I think the issue with those switches sounding glassy could be fixed by swapping the top housings for uhmwpe.

I just picked up this keyboard the other day and I LOVE it. This is the best keybloard I have ever bought

Got mine the other day on sale for 124, I'm in love with this thing. Nicest keyboard I've ever owned. :)

Corsair.... The only place where you should buy gaming pc parts, not keyboards

yeaaaa! new vid! (and congrats for 935k! 🎉)

i am so happy you tried it cause i commented about this keyboard after the official launch

Gaming companies started listening? What is this madness?! First Razer, now Corsair. Still prefer Razer Blackwidow V4 75 over this one. Razer's v4 looks better, sounds better, and come on, they did their research better (like factory tape mod, gasket mount).

Since you tried to air up, you have to try MrBeast version of that

I went to BestBuy and this was actually the best feeling keyboard out of all of them there, that's why I bought it. I've never owned a Corsair keyboard so I'm surprised in the video he says that Corsair isn't capable of making a good gaming keyboard. It's a really good keyboard. So accurate and smooth in the typing. It's really solid feeling and the keys hardly have any wiggle to them. Most enjoyable typing experience out of all keyboards I've owned. It's definitely in the upper bracket of keyboards and BestBuy has it on sale for 130 right now which puts it closer to the mid-tier keyboards. So if you want a high end keyboard for a good price, It'd be this one.

As someone new to customizing keyboards, I saw this keyboard announced and was really looking forward to your review! I like using iCue as I've mostly used a Corsair keyboard on this setup... And this keyboard improves on the parts I didn't like about it! I know you can get cheaper keyboards with great features, but having a really good lighting setup is important for me as I do most of my typing/gaming at night. So, I'm glad they have the north facing lights since I would probably put my shine through keycaps on it.

We want the boog

Ayy McTile in the background - shoutout the legend Settled!

I can't believe we live in the universe where corsair and razer are making keyboards like this

North vs South switches is a PITA. We need the north for Shine through, for gaming in a dark room - its a NEEDED function. If they are south, there are some side-see-through keycaps that look nice. But nobody makes XDA, MDA, CSA, DSA or other SA variants that are shine-through. We could REALLY use that! Have the comfort of of spherical caps with shine through legends. Only see through XDA I see are pudding or low-profile. Without the shine through, the keycaps just turn into black squares in a very dark room.

I have bought this keyboard as a french ISO keyboard (very rare to find out of the box), for someone who isn't willing to spend an absolute ton this keyboard feels and sounds amazing. Definitely recommend

All gaming companies need to remember when making keyboards: Hotswappable PCB South facing RGB 5 pin compatible switch PCB Lubed switches and stabs (would be nice)

Commenting for an ISO boards video until Hipyo acknowledges the world contains countries other than USA Love your videos though - just wish there was more about good ISO boards as it only seems to be Keychron Q1 and Monsgooek M1 😭

I love this board it's the perfect lay out I'm a dude who cared heavily about custom boards but with life raming up and adult hood starting to really prioritize my time. This board is perfect for the average person like me who like gaming on the couch or at a desk. The wireless capabilities are super useful and it's awesome for a mobile gaming set up with phone dock with an HDMI out and USB hubs. If you try that I suggest streaming games from your PC via moonlight even over hotel wifi at 1080p I can stream 60fps games with noticable but very very manageable latency and that coming from and old cs:go try hard

I guess buying drop paid off lol edit: would also love it if you did some simple lag/click delay testing on these. Part of the reason why these keyboards are "gamery" is the low latency people expect.

I just got the "K70 Max RGB Magnetic Mechanical Corsair MGX" yesterday (At a 28% discount so still expensive). Im no keyboard enthusiast like you but i absolutely love it. I was hoping to find that keyboard on your channel since it would have been cool to hear the opinions of someone like you. But i get that it is basically impossible to review every keyboard out there. Anyways nice and informative video keep up the great work.

Redragon has a new keyboard called the K673 Pro. It has foam, 3/5 pin switch compatibility, and gaskets. Checked all the boxes for me, ever since coming across this channel i've loved the hobby so getting the most affordable keyboard to build off of is important to me. Wish we saw more true budget builds on here and i know i'm not alone there. Got a keyboard, switches and keycaps all for under $100.

The sound from the stock is way better. it's not hindered

what interested me in this video... apparently you can own poison dart frogs! COOL!

Honestly looks like a rebranded RK75. The status lights and north facing LEDs are a huge giveaway. That's an insane $90 markup for the Corsair branding.

Howdy Hey Hipyo and frens! Just wanna thank you for all the great content you put out! You've helped me buildMod my own custon keyboard with the Morandi switches and I LOVE THEM IT! Thank you and I appreciate it!

Seeing how positive Hipyo was on this board (aside from the price) it does make me really interested to see what they'd do with one of their full size boards. I love my K95, especially for the macro keys, but I wish I could change switches without having to desolder each one individually.

I don't think big gaming brands will ever have the price vs value, but I am glad to see they are making improvements. Especially Corsair. I had an old Corsair K70 Keyboard for nearly 10 years. It finally died this year. And the prices on all the gaming keyboards being insanely overpriced for what they offered. I started researching alternatives and that is how I ended up here watching your channel. And ultimately built my first keyboard. Though coming as a gamer that didn't know much about keyboards prior to this year, I would have easily bought something like this keyboard if it was an option at the time. I kind of expect gamer keyboards to have a price mark up especially from the big name brands.

Nice review! This video seemed a bit quieter than usual. It definitely wasn't too quiet, but quieter than most KZfaq vids. Just thought I'd mention.

So something you should know buying this keyboard, if you expect Corsair's iCue software to be fully featured in wireless mode prepare for disappointment as you CANNOT customize RGB per key without using the USB cable, all you get are very basic RGB settings. I know this is pretty minor but if you're going to pay for a wireless keyboard it's kind of annoying to lose on some of the main selling points of a freaking Corsair device when everything else under their ecosystem supports per key RGB. The dongle is also not Slipstream compatible so you cannot combine connectivity with an other one of your Slipstream devices like headphones or mouse, furthermore having these two dongles next to each other in USB ports can lead to severe signal interference, RIP.

Hipyo, you should totally try the Royal Kludge R65, it's a really good budget keyboard :)

Anyone else get excited when you see OSRS playing in the back lol

Congratulations, I don't know or care about keyboards in the slightest but your humor and editing skills has gotten me roped in.

my man in the wildy fighting crazy archeologist while not looking at the screen. insane

I want a corsair mouse with that classic m65 design with modern specs and sensibilities.

I was ready to talk shit about a sponsored review. He proved me wrong. Respect.

Would love a look on the steelseries ones! Apperantly the Apex 9 line up are hot swappable and have a aluminium base.

You mentioned during the video, multiple times at that, that you can find similar keyboards for around 70 usd. Can you please tell me about some keyboards with 2.4 wireless and multi bluetooth connection for that price?

This is the kind of keyboard I would recommend to an aunt to get for their gamer child for Christmas. Its easy to find any buy and they should be able to exchange it at a physical location. The price would be the issue.

Definitely going to keep an eye out for a sale on this. My partner uses a Corsair mouse and it would be nice to keep all the software the same when my old Corsair keyboard she's been using wears out. Thanks for taking Corsairs money and making a very informative video!

I think you should make a "I compared all the big gaming keyboards so you dont have to" video. It'd almost definitely perform REALLY well in the algorithm. You could start out by comparing the biggest names' best keyboards (razer, rog, corsair etc) -- and then go on to cover the Wooting (and any personal nongamer favorites with OK RGB) , to help bring awareness about it to the mainstream gamers that click over. also: congrats on hitting 1 million subs

Great review. I do love custom keyboards but I hate south facing RGB. Every comment I've seen here seems to agree. North-facing has a purpose. South-facing is mostly pretty lights. I like being able to see the keycap legends if i want to dim the room lights. I've looked and there are few if any good options for south-facing RGB. I've one of the newer corsair K70 keyboards and it's actually pretty good, though pricy. Double-shot keycaps, foam, Aluminum frame (plastic bottom).. Not gasket mounted, but it sounds good and feels good typing on it.

The corsair right now. We sponsored the wrong man.

man, you try out so many, i dont know what to pick.

I will say this I got it on sale at best buy. To me it was well worth it. The typing on this keyboard feels so nice, the wireless works great, the software is much better than Razer's and the packaging is clean and nice. 10/10 for me personally.

Ever since Corsair acquired Drop, Drop's keyboards have become garbage while Corsair keyboards have gotten better.

You have poison dart frogs?! We need more appearances from those little guys. Also this may not be a stunning review, but it's nice to see the major gaming keeb names actually taking notes and recognizing they need to make a quality product

Zoom: ctrl-mouse wheel. Zoom reset: ctrl-0. V-scroll: mouse wheel. H-scroll: shift-mouse wheel Volume and brightness might be useful.

I love my K70 Max. Protip on "zooming": If you hold down the CTRL button and wheel up or down it will zoom in and out of websites... the ctrl+mousewheel zoom is a feature on basically every microsoft product as well as most image editing programs. When image editing ctrl+wheel up/down will zoom into or out from your mouse location. You're welcome.

Have accumulated a collection of big-box-store bought mainstream RGB keyboards by now. This is the first that feels good enough right out of the box. Given Corsair's typical keyboard characteristics, this model is markedly out-of-character. Feels solid, not hollow-plasticky. Pre-lubed. Subtle thock. No unpleasant aural emanations. Bottoming-out is neither harsh nor mushy. Pleasant to type with enough, no bother to switch-on the RGB. Low-profile & 60% wireless versions of similar qualities might also be nice. Bought at a discounted price; may have contributed to the pleasant experience.

We’re so close to 1m

been seeing this for a long time and it honestly just blows my mind, surely using a polycarbonate or polypropylene plate (same plastic as a lot of tupperware) would be both cheaper and sound better to most people buying these keyboards, and it would give a softer bottom out. I don’t know if there’s some assumption that the weight gain or rigidity from steel plates is more premium, but we should let that die in my opinion.

you should try the epomaker aula f75 with the reaper switch. it is a super good budget keyboard:)(:

I had faith in them since their first keyboard, I knew they'd start learning more

Thumbs up for the frogs!!

What is the best 75% keyboard you can recommend to someone on budget of 150 euros? I am typing this on a belle delphine keyboard atm. Had a corsair k70 before this one and this already feels like a upgrade. Please let me know what keyboard will blow my mind. Would like a keyboard that has arrows which my keyboard does not have atm. Would really like a aluminium case because that feels premium and the option to skip songs on spotify etc. The belle delphine keyboard feels really nice to me but I want it to keep very nicely so will put it back in the box after a while for collector reasons

Hipyo felt so betrayed by hipyo 🤣🤣🤣

Pssst. Corsair, this is what you want to do: South facing LEDs, Cherry profile keycaps instead of OEM (lower profile = more ergonomic), VIA compatibility > your software or support for both. Turn your feet into one long strip like the Mode Sonnet or Geonworks Frog, don't want the keyboard to slide around unnecessarily. Maybe a PC/POM plate instead of for more "thock" and a softer feeling typing experience and less noise that could get transmitted through users headset. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a keyboard made out of plastics as long as it's done right.

If you can find that Corsair K75 plus keyboard on sale, then it’s worth it in my opinion, especially if you aren’t too into building keyboards.

Sorry Hipyo, I'm one of those weirdos that prefer North facing LEDs. I love RGB on my keyboard and the South facing ones just look so, so bad in my experience.

I just recently modded a K65 Pro Mini. Came with 2 layers of foam so all i had to do was tune stabs and lube switches. Sounds and feels great. Also runs at 8000hz.

if my keyboard does not go "kachunka" with a metallic ping at the end on each keystroke, i dont want it.

Yoooo the Focal Bathys on the table

Honestly never thought I'd see the day where Corsair made a keyboard that appeals (good value or not) to the keyboard community. Also quick salute to my old Corsair K68 that died in the Monster Energy flood of '19

This is an excellent review overall. Still, I think you are missing something here. On the wireless implementation, minor improvements in latency, reliability and convivence can be worth a premium. Corsair slipstream is one of the best 2.4Ghz wireless implementations on the market, its ultra-low latency (critical for competitive gaming), it's reliable and stable, and it allows you to use multiple Corsair devices on a single USB receiver. $160 - I'd say it's actually value for money when you consider that they actually put all of that into a grown-up keyboard that doesn't suck to type on, it's a grown-up gamer wireless keyboard. The only reason Corsair didn't try to squeeze more out of it is because they don't quite have the market goodwill of Logitech and Razer after a few years of pretty uninspiring product in the PC peripheral space. This should be a hit.

Got this at $100 on a crazy sale, very happy with it!

I'm not into gaming keyboards but I love your videos, so I watched it. Nola and the frogs 😍

Likely pricing was based on what Glorious - GMMK PRO is selling for same price bare, so figured people would look at the 2 of them in best buy and choose one with switches already on it. Pretty sure Corsair don't even consider non retail store brands pricing, just stuff between major brands will find in box stores.

guys, i will say it once more. I am a gamer and i rly hate South face leds. I love to swap with shine throu keycaps. I am a gamer and i coming from gaming RBG keyboards. Is like i want to enter on custom keyboard world and i want to have North face leds. That makes no sense. Also the review was so honest and so real. I love you did not hold back from saying your true opinion!

If I could have a gaming board in say like a Zoom75 case, that'd be a fuckin' fever dream.

Here for th Air Up, staying for MOAR Keyboards!

Who would have thought the stock version would have sounded better than the mods? Price aside, that wasn’t bad.

Steel Series and later Corsair keyboards are who I recommend to my gamer friends that don't want me to build them a keyboard. I even use a Steel Series Apex 7 as my travel/backup keyboard, and I personally like their quality. If you can get them on sale.

I can't believe Hypio never made a video about the budgetest gaming hotswap keyboard, the evga z15, that goes for less than 50$ and is fullsize with knob

shot out to the runescape video going on the in beginning. settled is an amazing creator

Whoa! Did you know that Hipyo Tech is also McTile in Runescape?! (I watched that exact video earlier today, only reason I recognized it. Love your stuff Hipyo!)

Benefit for getting this keyboard. 1. Easy to get and warrant if it breaks 2. Reliable good performing wireless 3. Goes on sale definitely sooner rather than later

Great video as usual. Have you heard of the Boog75? It's one of the keyboards with Hall Effect switches for gaming, but also catered towards enthusiasts because of how premium the build quality and sound profile is. I would love it if you could do a review on it!

like nola moment im liking this video

i actually have this and it’s truly not bad for corsair sounds descent pretty good

I am such a loser for noticing this but the runescape video hes watching in the beginning of the video is settled latest video. I noticed before zooming in and actually double checking lmao

Hipyo your channel is about to blow tf up bc Hasan piker just watched one of your videos on stream so congratulations my guy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

They know it is overpriced: $160 is the "not on sale" price, but every other month it will be on sale for $70.

I like iCUE also. Also, iCUE can be a frustrating, buggy mess.

Why are people paying $100+ and giving up a third of their keyboard. The full-sized keyboard is still the best form-factor for work and productivity. Why is there no love for the full-size keyboard on the enthusiast scene? Why don't manufactures want to make a kick-ass keyboard for people who work at a desk all day and actually use that 1/3 that gets axed?

MORE NOLA MOMENTS MORE FROG FOOTAGE

The price really went down. I just ordered it for 117€ (mind it in Germany our prices include 19% taxes). I think for that money you can't complain at all.

We shouldn't be asking why a keyboard has NF LEDs in 2024; we should be asking why new switches still sometimes have home-row Cherry interference in 2024 (lookin' at you, Epomaker Sea Salt Silents, although to be fair, I think they came out in 2023 or somewhere around then, but still, I think the question still applies)! There's literally no excuse for that, and unless you have light diffusers in your switches (which I think should be more common anyway), SF LEDs often look uneven -- which is why people often opt for NF LEDs, not to mention shine-through keycaps with the legends on top. I am glad to be seeing more side-printed shine-through legends, but it really only works for OEM or something else tall like those. Cherries with SPLs often have dark spots near the tops of characters, like O, R, etc. That said, with good light diffusers, like the ones Morandis have, top-legend double-shot shine-through keycaps actually look pretty good with SF LEDs. If I'm being completely honest, I don't really care about LED orientation (although I do find it amusing that two of the switch-spots -- "switch mounts"? What do we call those? -- on the PCB of one of my keyboards have WF LEDs -- the Enter and + on the numpad, which makes them easier to remove and kinda unique to look at). I am glad that Hipyo tested the interference (or lack of it) of these switches with Cherry keys instead of just griping. I wish there were some way to modify stems to make them just a little taller. O-rings keep the keys from fully locking onto the stem, effectively achieving the goal of a slightly taller or longer stem, but the dampening isn't always what we want (unless they're silence switches in the first place). Just a final note: I'm typing this on my Zuoya GMK67 with Morandi/WS Yellow Linear frankenswitches along with double-shot keycaps, and it thocks like a goddamn champ! When I start typing fast, I just don't wanna stop. But I gotta stop somewhere, so I guess I'll stop here. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy cow.

Overall it's a nice looking keyboard. From afar it even looks truly premium. Which is a good step forward overall for Corsair. It just means more choices for custom mech mech keyboard users. It helps to keep prices competitive too.

I bought a Corsair keyboard similar to this one a couple years ago. The only reason I bought it was the store I was at had it for $50 off.

I admit it. Please dont judhe me. I was totally intending on just finally biting the bullet and going through the headache of finding everything i wanted and finally building the end keeb. But, while i was at best buy and shopping for some other stuff, i noticed they had this bad boy oon display to try, and i tried it, and I GAVE IN AND TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT. I GOT THIS KEYBOARD

i love watching this guy lol this guy makes me regret about making my decision about buying a Keychron k8 lmao

in all fairness corsair does put more rnd into their products than the rebranded chinese stuff out there but yea i think $130 would be a reasonable asking price with how good their wireless tech and end to end latency is

Thanks for all the cool videos. I like my old keyboards from the G3 mac and IBM. The new keyboards are pretty amazing. My kid's gaming rig is pretty cool but I didn't spring for a decent keyboard and he has worn it out. I appreciate the detail you go into on the new stuff. I am aiming towards the keychron with gateron g pro 2 white to kinda match the weight of his current system. no idea on caps yet but I like the GMK stuff. seems like solid quality injection molding. anyway, you rock. keep up the good work. (greetings from MT)

Tbh Corsair should now focus on their software to be lighter, maybe it should be the same as the wooting website style software. Also maybe use hall effect switches.

my question is.... how many points do you have on nightmare

Mine didn’t sound like that at all, felt terrible and pingy and lost connection frequently. Instantly went back, but hoping Corsair starts moving towards making their bigger keyboards hot-swappable and with Mac mode because my K95 is not getting replaced until that happens! Everything else runs iCue, we’ve had our issues but it’s gotten to a solid state!
