Make video for monitors too!

I don't know if you will see this but the apex pro has customisable actuation point too. it goes down to 1 mm, it is actually the second fastest actuating keyboard in the world.

Check out DasKeyboard 4 w/brown switches.

@@JohnDoe-qz9ji remember that razer chroma is best but you will have to use some oil on middle button.

I don't honestly think that the speed of my fingers was ever the bottleneck in ANYTHING I've done with a computer. None of those keyboards (except the MX keys) are boards I think I would ever want to use as a programmer. I prefer boards with a bit more utility than off the shelf gamer boards. The Logitech MX line (mouse and keyboard) are legitimately pretty amazing for the software if nothing else, but Logitech screwed up by not making it a mechanical. Pity.

Lol - if only I could code like they do in the movies... :D

I have never written code. But I am a very fast typist. I used to write reports for my previous companies and the keyboards I have used made all the difference.

@@alicenien5015 did u use TeX?

That's untrue, he said "RGB will inspire you", which is as dumb a take as "makes you faster" though

@@zilliq humans are dumb and are drawn to shinny things, thus rgb is actually good. Would you be more motivated if your work office was in a ghetto, or on the top floor of a luxury skyscraper?

Tech reviewers don't review keyboards.

Im pretty sure it's intentional

On the roast video, he said: "if tech reviewers were comparing keyboards, people would be hyped about keyboards." Basically lifestyle marketing 101.

The review style is actually of good quality. Focused on actual functionality and targeted audience. IMO.

What is the appeal of mechanical keyboards? seems they are just noisier

Matt Waters you would only get noisier keyboards if you choose noisier switches. Membrane keyboards are normally louder than boards that don’t use clicky switches. You should see how quiet some people get their boards to be. The main appeal of mech keyboards besides them being a much higher quality is that you can personalize them however you like. You can choose switches that will wake up half the neighborhood, or you could go the more silent route. If you want your keystrokes to take minimal effort then you can do that, or you can choose to need a firm push in order to activate each key. The possibilities are pretty endless especially when you consider that every single key can be personalized to be completely different in a mech board. The scary part is how lost you can get in researching and customizing mech boards lol. I’ve only been talking about the switches instead of the numerous other factors including keycaps, plate material, stabilizers, and of course the almighty rgb; each of these factors and the many that I didn’t list can drastically affect the overall experience of using your mech board. I would suggest taking some time to look at r/mechanicalkeyboards to learn more and find out what you would like in a mech board.

@@xander_allen thanks. That was pretty informative.

Matt Waters np

r/mk is for morons, r/ck is for true customs

thanks.... I just wanted to get this keyboard but it seems no to be as good. Maybe nowadays there are better keyboards.

curious what keyboard are you using now? thanks

@@cranes2726 For me it was important to get a keyboard that would have a very low actuation force so that over time my hand didn't get fatigued and slow me down. Right now I'm using the Razer Hunstman mini with purple keys and I've never had issues with it.

@@MilMike it depends on if you think 50g actuation force is high for your use

Flat clicker

does it make your finger tired after few weeks of working as the reviewer said

So which keyboard u use?

@@jillting1852 For non gaming, One with tactile switches, low profile. Check out Logitech K840 to start. The G815 (lit) is nice if you like a lower profile but the shifted characters are not lit.

@@kenmtb would you recommend k840 for excel work? Need a keyboard perfect for excel

@@jmvasquez2312 The k840 IMO is a great KB for excel or general typing. It is no nonsense with a standard layout. You can choose your key switches also. I got the cherry brown keys and liked it. I currently am testing a Das Keyboard with Brown switches. It is amazing and I feel it is even better than the 840. The drawback is some of the keys feel a bit scratchy which is surprising considering the cost. They may wear in.

@@jmvasquez2312 the Logitech are great. I use wireless and went with the K520, now k540, with their M310 mouse set. The mouse is ambidextrous so can be used with either hand - I use mouse left hand. I especially like the keyboard as its got a number of multimedia keys for sound, video and web. I especially like the calculator key which I'm forever using. Decent amount of key travel, smooth and quiet enough key presses. No backlighting though (though for me, its white only I ever use in other keyboards). Price-wise its also pretty affordable. I've recommended this set and they've come back with very positive comments.

“...as a millionaire”

Huntsman is actually the cheapest out of his stash there...

Just wait until this guy hears about $250-350 custom keyboards being a "budget" pick.

@Arturo Ochoa gateron switches just as good.

Got a slightly used one for 55€, pretty damn cheap

They had launched MX mini

@@gradientO actually moved to Logitech G915 TKL (white) and loving it.. friend bought that new MX mini and likes it as well 👌

@@ch3m1c should I get the mx keys or the g915 tkl?

@@VideoGamesExtras do you want mechanical feel or a true low profile keyboard? G915 for mech feel (tactile switch) and MX keys for less wobble and more low profile.. both are really great keyboards. MX Keys should be connected via dongle not BT for less delay. G915 Lightspeed tech is brilliant!

RGB! your breathing must have RGB!

sooo if we use cheap keyboard what we miss? chronic finger pain lmao 😂😁

Switching to a better layout than QWERTY will help much more than changing the feeling of the buttons.

apex pro doesnt have different switches, u mean the apex 7?

@@Rubindy Yeah, I'm not sure why the TKL version is called the Apex 7 vs. just the TKL version of the Pro?

@@andrewpoloni4197 the apex 7 comes in blue, brown, red and apex pro and tkl with only omni switches afaik

I just ordered the G915 after hopelessly looking for a spanish layout blackwidow v3 pro (wireless). Everything is hyperinflated due to transport strikes, COVID, petrol prices etc xD I can type at about 135 wpm but have ADHD, so I think in the end the Logitech will be a much better choice due to the extra media keys and better bluetooth connectivity (so I can swap to mobile or tablet etc). I look forward to testing your product! :D

@@piposanchez Qué tal te va con el logitech? quiero comprarlo, pero estoy dudando... existe el layout en español? no lo encuentro, soy de latam.

The design has one small but fatal flaw, the lack of backlight behind the secondary function keys…

noice, thanks for the tip!

Karabiner is useful and needed for other reasons as well.

Not to mention it's $200.

It’s not thatttt bad for something you use for 8-10 hours a day 5 days a week.

that's why he recommended it. because it sounds like jellybeans.

@@viperrius not a problem when you're a millionaire

These days, a keyboard for a programmer is like a camera for a photographer or a suit for a salesman... It identify you; not what kind of work you do :P People can swear that you can code better on a 200 dollars keyboard; meanwhile their OS on desktop and mobile are made by people using 30 bucks rubber dome cheap logitech keyboards.

Yes I own a G915 TKL and a G502 Lightspeed mouse perfect combo for workflow and gaming only gets better with an occasional extra numbpad placed on the left of the keyboard and of course an Elgato Streamdeck within reach

Used all of them shown here? How to decide

Agreed but I think he made a fair point with the importance of travel distance, never tried the apple keyboard but I can imagine what it feels to type against a wood board for 8 hours straight. Also the importance of the actuation force for the pinkie sitting on left shift duty all day

@@zilliq I have a mech keyboard for gaming and I like typing on it vs my work keyb. It’s high profile though and wired, so I haven’t used it for work, but yeah I was not a fan until I’ve tried it. Maybe bec it’s smooth, linear

@@zilliq programmers don’t spend their days typing. Not 8 hours at least.

@@zilliq Hi, I'm studying Software Engineering and I want a keyboard for programming and also for gaming, and I'm really insecure in what type of switch should I go for, I'm thinking about getting a keyboard with Cherry Mx Red switches or with Cherry Mx Brown switches, do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks a lot :) P.S: I'm form Mexico so please excuse me if I have any grammar mistake, saludos 🇲🇽.

@@cea0611 probably a bit late but I really like mx browns because they're just a tad less sensitive than reds. Good for typing

yeah, I do have left hands pinky issues because of "tab", "shift" and "ctrl".

It's why I stopped using gateron clears and switched to blues. Far less fatfingering and the tactile feedback feels really nice, imo.

While there are keyboards out there that you might objectively call just plain bad and not suited for anyone, mostly it all comes down to personal preference. What might be the perfect keyboard for one person might be the worst keyboard for another...

@@Aomicplane true. My point is simply that the choices are endless. The odds of a mass market offering nailing YOUR ideal preferences is slim. There are good ones but if you want something tailored to your taste, build it that way.

Just go to Taeha Types, the channel is full of great keyboard videos.

made me laugh more than it should

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

soo are rgb keyboards better?

also linear keyboard?

But have you tried Kailh BoxWhites switches?? They are clicky bliss. You could be missing out

@@ApexierGS Nope, I haven't. To be honest, I treat keyboards like appliances: I want a pretty, functional one, and I don't want to mess around much. The Ultimate has the exact feature set I wanted, and it was money well spent. The only thing I'd change would be getting rid of the blue LEDs.

Mark Rose honestly if you are gonna treat a keyboard as an appliance then you should sell your crappy das and build your own keyboard

@@MarkRose1337 hmmm, ok then, because I looked at DAS keyboards back in 2015 and I could not justify the price tag of $200+ for the simple keyboard with few features, and the cheap build quality which can be found on any $40 keyboard or better today. I tried hard to find the magic sauce behind the price tag, but in the end I gave up and bought a simple Tesoro fullsize keyboard with Kailh blue mx switches and blue backlight for $70. I was super happy with the purchase. I use it for my CAD workstation with all the terminal shortcuts, and all my interoffice communications. I modded it with thicker aftermarket keycaps, then the lighting from blue to white LED, and then the switches themselves. I had the urge to do little mods as stepping stones, and it opened my mind to all the mech-keyboard options. It has been a fun journey since 2015, just like building PCs or woodworking.

@@andrew_li Well the end game is full programmability and layers with unprinted key caps. Essentially infinitely configurable layouts (and boy, do I tweak it a lot)

The Deviant Developer IDW Podcast That's very true. I also use 2 extra layers activated by the tab key and the caps key. I also use blank keys which tbh is more for aesthetic for me :). Though it definitely doesn't hurt to invest in a layout that is overall more ergonomic and comfortable to use ^^
