just buy a cherry mx blue keyboard and piss them off even more

@@pizzaface.3000 yes

@@roborobo8370 no, use cheap Chinese blue ripoffs, more annoying

@@michaelfinlay1412 oh. they make more noise? I actually didn't know.

But it has... RGB!

Who needs RGB...when you can literally take a glass and water and some shit and flash it on your keyboard idk

I said the same thing when my friend tried to tell me that his shit corsair w/ MX browns were better than my f1407! His only defense was that it "but it not doesn't have RGB!" Fools.

Someone tried to tell me that their Razer Blackwidow Chroma with Kailh switches (the shitty Cherry knockoff versions, not their nice speed and BOX switches) was better than my silenced Realforce RGB. They used that exact same defense, and I simply turned the backlight on to shut them up.

+Matthew Palmer RGB the most obnoxious vanity in the tech industry apart from Apple and Leica products.

FireBlade X How are you liking those? I was very intrigued by the one I tried in a store, but wished there was a TKL version.

@@SuperNPProductions that's true. I had an ornata . Finger fatigued within 1 hour, the clicky sound does my head in in about 30 minutes. spacebar broken down on the 5th day of purchase, and the tactility of some keys are gone and became super stiff .

Zack Bennett ive had one for at least two years and got rid of it recently. I hope you didnt end ep getting one

@@UniversalKutub I gave my to my daughter. She likes it and I use a Logitech G413 carbon now. I really like the Romer-G switches.

Hieedeeous

How does it hold up after 3 years?

It allows you to (touch-)type with very little force required. A lot of the stress on your fingertips that can make typing tiring or in extreme cases painful does not come from light or heavy switch mechanisms, but from compulsively hammering the keys to make sure they register. It's definitely something one has to un-learn and get used to. It's similar to learning to touch-type. For gaming I find this feature of mechanical keyboards fairly useless, because quick reactions and gentle keypresses don't mix for me, but I'm sure some pro-gamers would disagree with me. Good switches to explore this are Tactile Alps or Matias switches, Purple Zealios, Topre, Cherry MX Brown and Clear (Chyros will disagree, but I like them). BTC foam & foil switches will also show this, but they can be tough to get in good condition nowadays. I find it very hard to not bottom out on the IBM Model M, because the actuation is quite low on the keytravel and the spring is quite heavy. Cherry MX Blue is also difficult, but at the opposite extreme. The switch is so light and the clicking action so abrupt that I almost always bottom out, because I can't stop my finger fast enough. But YMMV! Cherry MX Green is okay again. The heavier spring helps to stop pressing the key all the way. I have little experience with very rare/old/expensive switches and keyboards, maybe Chyros can chime in. Eventough I have been to typing on mechanical keyboards for about six years now and touch typing in Dvorak all this time, I just started changing my typing behaviour about two years ago and stopped bottoming out. As I have stated I'm only able to do this on select types of switches, but I find it greatly improved my typing "endurance". But not necessarily my speed. Next step for me is learning to hover-type ^^

If you have to bottom out on every keypress, you more or less learn to smash your keyboards rather than to use it gently, which results in a much less comfortable use pattern. A mechanical or capacitive keyboard doesn't require you to do this, so after a while of using them you'll find yourself gradually relaxing your typing style more, even if you still bottom out when using it. This is also why I dislike linear switches with heavy springs, as they encourage the same smashy style of keyboarding.

I always thought heavy linears were a gateway to *not* bottoming out, simply because it's virtually impossible to do so.

@Grumskiz "I find it greatly improved my typing 'endurance'. But not necessarily my speed." Very interesting. I've also been unable to understand why bottoming out is such a bad thing. I purposefully look for switches that make it easiest for me to bottom out my switches and call it a day. Thing is, I don't really have any problem with endurance, but speed is the absolute most cherished metric to me. I think hammering the keys is what it takes for me to get 120+ WPM. @Finn Driver Even though I am a fan of bottoming out the keys in spite of what everyone says, it *is* convenient that a key might register, even if you pressed it too gingerly the first time on accident. That's less typos you have to go back and correct.

One of the main issues I've found that comes with bottoming out even short travel keys is that once you've reached the bottom of the key travel, pretty much any additional force you exert goes straight into your finger bones, since there is no more distance for the key to travel. Any force used in the keys beyond bottoming them out then contributes to fatigue. This would not be a problem if people were gentle when bottoming out keys, but as Thomas mentioned above, being required to bottom out keys often teaches the habit of smashing the keyboard. Smashing the keyboard results in excessive force used, which can lead to fatigue. I spend most of my time programming, so I do a fair amount of typing, and I used to type primarily on a chicklet style keyboard. I was used to my fingers feeling fatigued or even sore after typing. Since switching primarily to mechanical boards with good tactility at the point of actuation, I have found myself bottoming out far less frequently and the fatigue is not as much of an issue if at all. Even on a heavier switch like a buckling spring, where I might bottom out commonly, I am not smashing the board because I know when the keys register a press. I have heard claims of health benefits associated with softer typing, and tbh I haven't seen convincing evidence that typing softly is good for you. But I can personally attest that it does make typing more comfortable and pleasant, at least for myself, and I think that is worth it.

ok

?

cringe

My man! ;)

Have you found it yet? 3years later

Zestypanda this was filmed on a Nokia phone, I didn't always have my Canon camera :p .

Had a similar experience with a Masterkeys Lite L, I tried one at a store and thought it feels amazing. Then I passed on it because it wasn't mechanical. Later CM released the keyboard on its own, so I bought it anyway and stayed on my desk for probably a year, and I still think it's a better tactile keyboard than most tactile mechanical switches out there, even if Kailh Box tactile switches are coming close, they do feel like mechanical rubber domes, but good domes are still more tactile.

I guess they mean more tactile?

Sean Awa where lol

@@hugohom2280 it's available in india

Because no one cares about these gaming keyboards

quite frankly i just wanted to know why a much more expensive board was just pushed aside and not reviewed rather than a £25 mechanical feel board...

well, i just wanted to see a better review of it, chyros does a more in depth better explained review of boards more than anyone, and plus id love to know his opinions, relax.

Jake Plays Games because there are soooo many reviews about it so theres no point and its overrated

well, cant agree more on the overrated part but still, would like to know an opinion of someone who likes to bash Cherry switches, could be entertaining to watch

This keyboard is now only £12

Heh, mem-chanical, nice one xD . These switches are definitely not Cherry compatible though, they're a rubber dome mount and therefore completely incompatible with anything. In fact they verge on the line of not being real switches at all ;p .

Hmm odd because this model has the exact same style, sound and everything. But the stems are membrane but shaped like cherry MX Reds www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9H549W6062&cm_re=ttesports_combo-_-23-162-035-_-Product

Nah man, it doesn't even look anything remotely like it xD .

Hey Thomas, How are you? What's your suggestion for a quiet non-cherry style mechanical keyboard for an office? More than 2mm key and 65gms+ travel would be nice to have. Not too keen on a numpad.

I've heard very nice things about the KBP V80, in your case with Matias Quiets.

isn’t that the death stalker clone? i used to want that

Haha calm down Alec, someday I'm sure I'll get a keyboard with browns I'll be allowed to review xD . And for the record, it's not that ;) .

I''m sorry it's not

DISGUSTING

omg i read this comment and thought i commented it

Wdym?

I don’t know why I typed this

Yea lol

I've got a few boards I really have to review first, but I'll see if I can push it forward a little bit :) .

George.

Yeah I might do a studio tour of some sort when I get the setup going, probably when I've moved to a place of my own xD .

really nice :D what about the new recording kit?

EK Switch Hitter

nope. Cooler master makes the masterset which emulate mx blues, too.

CineRaphael i have the tecknet keyboard and is really good...

Yes, The Coolermaster Masterset Memchanical are really great too. Probably the closeting to a Topre except they are more clicky than Topre.

@@alpzepta If you want something close to Topre that isn't a Topre then the Royal Hakos may be your switch

@@JackOfHarts96 Royal Hakos is one but I also see there are cheaper Topre clone like Plum87 as well.

Yus!

No, that usually just means it's a Dell :p .

Just a keypuller.
