No
Mhhh. No. Come play red orchestra 2 tho
Pretty decent game, recently a bit unbalanced and a fair amount of pay to win elements, but fun nevertheless.
shame the link doesn't give a decal
"Available for Linux"
GOOD
"What is all this crap"
"What's this other crap"
I bet Razer is so happy now
I truly hope that wasn't a sponsored video because you truly seemed like you had no interest and could not be bothered doing your job. Razer were good enough to send you over a product they were clearly proud of in those lovely black boxes and you just half assed the whole thing. Im sure other members of LTT could have mustered a lot more enthusiasm. Just don't be in front of the camera if you can't be bothered.
@@robertfullard5646 didn't he say that he was sponsored by War Thunder though, not Razer?
Robert Fullard - As a product reviewer, you shouldn't be biased by the special treatment a company gives you. You need to be loyal to your audience, as otherwise your job as a reviewer is undermined and the customer is ultimately screwed over.
@@yasirabdulhakeem They said these videos are "Spotlights" on The Wanshow. They're not sponsored, but they are given the items for free so they aren't truly unbiased and at the same time they are not beholden to the sponsor's wishes.
@ Its sponsored by Razer. Check the description box. It says paid link. I agree though i like James but dam he couldnt care less about the product he is reviewing. Even if the keyboard isnt great at least put some effort to the review.
Finally, a perfect keyboard for Linus's tiny hands.
Quack Quack
Keyboard dropped
Plus he can put the pink switches on it
Low blow
He might need a bigger keyboard now that he has a beard

9:15 James spelled 'sad' on his keyboard, what a legend.
Not sure if you're joking so I'm just gonna stay silent

SAD
Did no one really comment this man i am big brain *refresh* [*sigh*] Maybe I am really smooth brain SAD
Best comment!
I think he may be trying to tell us something. Do we know for sure that they're allowed out of the office?
@@Bynming owo we must go deeper
Till I looked at my keyboard, I was like what's wrong ???
Anyone else feel like James was bored and slightly annoyed for this video
He is too r/mechanicalkeyboards for Razer products
Idk he seems bored and annoyed in most short circuit vids
keatodylan I got a Razer Huntsman on sale for $100 and the stabilization goal is amazing.
@@keatodylan I feel you, I have a Ducky from 2016 before they kinda blew up (just knew about them through word of mouth) but I have respect for Razer for really improving their products. Not everyone needs to buy a Ducky or spend $400 on an escape key alone to have a great KB

i actually dig james attitude in this vid. it feels like hes showing up as himself not just as some always happy sociopath that youtube and even this channel sometimes, is cluttered with.
yea, felt like a real and honest thing
Yeah, I appreciate that he didn't try to hide his disappointment with Razer products
Lol that's funny because everyone was moaning about him acting like a normal human being a few weeks ago in the comments because he wasn't super enthusiastic to be reviewing something boring
Surprised at the comments tbh like this is James. Have you never seen him before lol Did they expect him to be like Linus? And it's just an unboxing, not a detailed keyboard review
I mean i too would be disappointed at that keyboard for that price. So many better options at that pricepoint
Linus: Lienus is just a joke.
James's "accident": WE SAD
Wait, what accident?
0:02
that is indeed the question
Me when I look at brown switches. Then i will proceed with "this is the wrong preference"
hm yes
Blah
@@poppygin4807 I went from an MX Blue K70 to using a MX Brown K95 (original, never came in Blues)
And then I started using a WASD Keyboard v2 with MX Green, and for my HTPC I use MX Black with black case and black pbt keys, it won't shine from movie light, it's silent yet not mushy.
*TL;DR, MX Green or bust (and the Blues aren't bad but MX Green is big boi Blue.)*
like you?
Something I hate is when people complain about the huntsman not being hot swappable it doesn’t make sense because your getting the keyboard for those switches any other switch wouldn’t work for the keyboard in the first place so there’s no point in swapping it out idk why people complain about it because your spending your money in it to get the fastest response time not for a normal cherry Mx response time
"Bart Simpson chalkboard punishment"
best reference so far
9:30 is James trying to send us a message with the 'WASD' keys?! :o
lol
He's trying to say "We Sad"
My OCD got triggered there
He explaining mc controls
I swapped to a 60% keyboard for more mouse space, it allowed me to have my keyboard more to the right and it stopped my shoulder pain.
It felt weird not having the function keys/arrows/num pad which I realised I used more than I thought I did. After a month I had no issues with not having those keys.
how you skipping 5s/10s while watching movies, tv shows, etc. ?
@@juzedhere1984 I went to a 65% so I had arrow keys back
@@juzedhere1984 It does have arrow keys, you just need to use function to use them, aswell as multi media keys, F Keys, and page up/down etc.
Small factor keyboards are awesome! You can place and hold your hands more naturally, and don't tire out as fast
The thing I find most amazing about this considering it's a razer keyboard. If you unscrew the top plate, you can swap out the switches without needing to solder them. That's insane for Razer!!
5:23 The V2 linear optical switches now require 45g of force and actuate at 1.2mm, thanks to Razer listening to the community.
I believe they are 50g or 55g
@@bl3nd3rman97 They're 45g
@@ianb.1603 the huntsman mini linears are 50g, the huntsman te linears are 45g.
@@bl3nd3rman97 the huntsman te was 40g and 1mm, this one is standard speed switch with 45g and 1.2mm. Like cherry speedos. Nothing special.
All those years spent learning vim keys for moving, even though dedicated keys were present, are finally worth something...
I've been waiting so long for this keyboard. I got the Huntsman TE recently but had to return it because the actuation was way to short on the Linear Red switches. I would bump it from the side and it would literally register a keystroke. Going to grab this with the purple switches.
The purples are money
@@nigeldelong5744 Still using this keyboard. It's awesome.
Really cool with the cables on them. One thing when you hit a product like that is try to plug a normal not from the box USB cable in. I just hit that with a power A controller. Locking and keyed cable, ok thats cool and good. But normal cables didnt fit, I broke out the snips and chopped some stuff off the female side and a little bit off another usb housing to have other ones work(so I can easilly flip the controller between pc and XBox)
I’m looking at buying one rn but it’s a hard time I wish I could have one I’m using a &20 amazon keyboard and mouse combo loved the video
God I've missed LMG reviewing non-specalist keyboards. Thank you Short Circuit to bringing me back to those old days of tech reviews while keeping your main channel for your regular content! And yes I know there's other people out there but LMG content has a certain polish to it that you generally don't get with other channels!
7:28 - On the Logitech G413 The functions on the side of the keys light up : )
I'm binging these keyboard videos and James is just killing it!
I've heard lots of people rip on razer for bad software, and faulty products, but I've only ever experienced the former. I've had a couple pairs of their kraken pro headphones over the years, and they've always been great. I also am using the same ouroborous mouse and deathstalker keyboard that I've had for prolly a good 4 or 5 years at this point, and the only issue I've had is when razer dropped support for them from their software. :/ My mouse is starting to have issues with the scroll wheel, sometimes it jumps a step in the opposite direction, but beyond that, both the mouse and keyboard are still going strong. I'm particularly thankful for that with the keyboard, because I greatly prefer the chiclet style, and from my looking, there doesn't seem to be any high-end gaming-oriented chiclet keyboards left on the market...
I always love keyboard vids. Can you guys make a vid about ortholinear boards?
0:05 he sounds like he really doesn't want to be there
OMG Thank you for this video, did not realize I could change the default static color on the Huntsman keyboard!!!! FN+Ctrl+2 for the win!!!
60% KBs can provide better ergonomics for certain people along with more mouse room for gaming, even moreso than TKL. Having your shoulders, neck and back more space of closer together depending can really help that strain. Im hoping to get one soon, I'd get this if the Glorious MMK with hot swappable switches wasnt cheaper. Youd think Razer would undercut everyone but...
I watch ShortCircuit to see James be underwhelmed about everything.
@6:00 "If what you get is good, stay married to it", he says as he glances at his wedding ring.
Honestly love my huntsman elite, I got it a few years ago refurbished for about £140 which I think is alright. I love the arm rest and the obnoxiously loud keys haha, no one in discord likes it though haha. It is definitely quieter and like he said no metal click on the keys even ok the purple ones like I have, the red is a whole lot quieter though. I do feel like James couldn't be bothered really for this video, didn't like razer maybe haha; I never did but this keyboard just spoke to me for some reason, I do need the full keyboard though it really helps
I have the Blackwidow Lite in Mercury White with the Orange Switches and I use the O-Rings. It's the best gaming and typing keyboard I have ever used. Worth every penny.
For the price you can get some better keebs imo. We’re looking at ducky, durgod, glorious, hexgears, keykron, etc... Hell you can even get a starter hot swap board.
Just got Kemove 61 (instead of Geek GK61) and I'm loving it so far.
y’all haven’t even tried it yet 🤦🏻♂️
Honestly, the price is pretty competitive with what's on the market. The only real downside of the board is the lack of removable switches, but like he said, if you like them you like them.
@@madboy5566 that would be wise for new people getting into mech keyboards. But for the others who had experienced enough or owned enough mech keyboards, you can already properly tell how to match this one with a few ones for better pricing. If your point is just to defend Razer then by all means go for it if you're satisfied with their products and price tag.
And don't forget Akko
9:30 wsad is the new norm
"We
Sad"
He spell "SAD U" with tjhat broken RGB U
I wish more 60% manufacturers would copy the Anne Pro 2 and add "tap layer" functionality. I'm using an Anne Pro 2 and the tap layer is honestly so useful that I can't imagine using a 60% without it now, as I can use right Alt, FN and Menu as if they're normal arrow keys when I just tap them quickly, then I just use ; (my least used key in that area) as the up arrow.
11:00 its actually been available for 2 days now. Mine arrived yesterday. Red switches, white mercury.
"What you don't have to guess is today's sponsor!"
Come on, man. It was right there!
Nothing like watching a video where the host's lack of enthusiasm is so very palpable. lol "A keyboard . . . yayyyy."
He's actually pretty passionate about mechanical keyboards - at least based on a video on LTT where he organized a blind test of switches - but these are so crappy, that he just barely made himself go through it...Example: @4:53
@@leob_v2 The problem is that is a RAZER keyboard, a brand that is pretty disappointing in most of their products. Anyone who knows about keyboards will not be impressed by a razer one
@@MaxPlays21 actually the optical switches they use are pretty good, albeit they're just a design from another company they contracted to make them. The clicky ones are meh but the linears are really smooth
@@MaxPlays21 you have no idea what you're talking about. razer has been a streak of making great products. viper, viper ultimate, viper mini, deathadder v2, and literally all their new keyboards. They made a post on r/mk asking for enthusiasts advice on what they want on a keyboard. they deserve props for that
@@mrb-btw dont tell them. They locked in the past. Sshhhh...
Just get the regular huntsman if you don't care about portability and want a numpad. In the US it has been regularly on sale for $90.
I've been using the Razer Blackwidow V2 for almost 2 years, love this keyboard.
Unfortunately if it breaks I'll have to swap to Logitech since the new Razer Keyboards don't have Macro Keys and I find these keys pretty useful for hot swapping some applications on my PC.
“A decent value” Razer keycaps are the steal of the century
Reminder: Warthunder hates their playerbase, the devs are toxic assholes that wont take criticism and the game is such a grind it can take forever to get those high tier things like the Abrams. And the pay to win is real
whole lotta people in the replies desperately trying to downplay or deny hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I agree, pay to *progress faster* is definitely a thing, been playing since 1.27 (now 1.99, started in 2013) and there's never been a time of when someone can:
1. Buy a plane/tank of THE highest tier (They added Tier 5 premium plane(s) when Tier 6 rolled out for example.
2. Buying a plane/tank/ship will not insta-kill others, or win the game on it's own. So pay "to win" is definitely misleading.
While Gaijin deserves a lot of criticism, there are still no other games that even comes close to War Thunder gameplay wise (at least for ground battles). Also you can have a lot fun as long as you don't play with "get the Abrams" mentality. Saying this as someone who played the game for a lot of years and paid 30$ in all this time.
@@antonkandyba8431 Okay, Anton "100% not a dev from the Russian Gaijin company trying to defend his awful companies practices" Kandyba
id agree that it is somewhat pay to progress but I do enjoy the realism and simulation mechanics of the game over its competitors.
@@TastyTacoN1nja relax lol im not agreeing with the pay win aspect but they aren't unlike other companies with the business model. the realistic gameplay is worth it. Tarkov is also guilty, star citizen, could find other examples. I play the game free and im not getting my ass beat by the ppl who pay
60%s are also useful for those of us who struggle with very, very constrained desk space.
I wish small keyboards were more popular back in the 90's and early 2000s.
I couldn't afford a real desk, so I had to make due with a tiny TV dinner table that I had to leave half my keyboard hanging off the desk to have any room for a mouse.
That said I'm partial to 75%s, which sacrifice less in the way of available keys while still being far smaller than a full size.
I've been using k95 with cherry mx speed for over 3 years now and cannot go to any other switch. And the keyboard in general is really good.
I would like to see more companies produce 65% over 60% seems a lot more functional
James: ''whats all this crap''
slams razer stuff on desk
me: nothing more to say :D
Also kind of disrespectful for the sponsor ad...
@@AlmogErez in what world is this where we are feeling sorry for the ads? Finally we get someone who does not have any fake hype or fake cheerfulness that youtube has way too much of
Almog Erez if your product isn’t good it isn’t good.
@@Definitely_Melnyx but who define whats good or not ? the mass :)
@@michaelan9688 just think about it. They pay good money to advertise their shitty app (no argue about that) . If you don't want to take Their money thats OK. But if you do - at least show some respect for those who eventually made that video possible.
3:47 Thank you!!! Finally someone told me few!!!
Just bought one of these yesterday, to go along-side my full-sized Razer BlackWidow V3. It's arriving today.😊Very curious to see how Razer's Green switches compare to their Purple switches; both are clicky variants.
I've got it now and I absolutely LOVE IT!! It's so tiny, but sturdy, clean, and most importantly, the keys feel and sound way better than ther Razer Green switches. Yay! 😊
Just so you know, I was playing War Thunder as I played this, and I can confirm that I'm suffering greatly
I'm wondering what "exclusive" means though, like just the classic starter bonus? Like 500 GE or whatever it might've been + a free premium 1.0 or 1.3 starter plane?
Or is it legit something exclusive?
@@MrCODEmaster00 lmao it's a dollar worth of golden eagles and one rank 1.0 premium
I stopped playing WT for a few weeks, might play again. Update sizes are large though.
@@MikhaelAhava OH GOD BILLY NO
Is the game worth it?
10:04 did the LED for the U-key just break in the middle of the video?
Well it is Razer. After my 2 mice that didn't even last a year I wouldn't be surprised.
no, i own this keyboard, if you press FN U, it enables the "gaming mode" aand turns the key white, due to the board having no led indicators, caps does the same thing.
@@Pardoned yeah my mouse died after only 1 week of usage when i threw it out of my window... such junk
@@atche8004 thanks for the explanation but idk if that's better honestly
@@WinningEmpire Yeah, seems about normal nowadays. Also had the Tartarus and the side pod buttons were double clicking within 6 months of use. I learned my lesson with Razer but still like seeing this kind of stuff when I'm not the one paying for it.
I bought the Huntsman Elite 2 weeks before the 60% released. They still have the loud metallic ping even thought it was made in 2020.
I think this is the only unboxing channel where you see people unbox things with a key

What's up dedicated LTT viewers!
People hate on razer because it’s popular to do so, I have a whole razer set up and I’ve had every component for over 2 years or I upgraded in less then 2 years. The only razer thing I’ve had fuck up was a mamba and the feet peeled off, so I ordered new feet, that was close to a year of heavy heavy use.
Love the honesty! More like this please
the ducky one 2 mini is 100 dollars with all the same features - the GMMK is 110 and its aluminum, comes in white, and has a huge variety or switches, you can get pudding caps, and is hotswap - the anne pro 2 is 110 and its wireless and does the same thing- the keychron k6 is 110, hotswap, metal- the gk61 is 59.99- sk61 is 65.99 and is hotswap. there are so many cheaper better options than this board. not very impressed
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. Don't forget the Magicforce 68. 60% with arrow keys for $40 if you opt for Outemu switches and $60 with gaterons and backlighting.
if I want what a G915 offers but don't like the price, do you have any recommendations? especially the Bluetooth wifi switching
@@nikodonnell3852
cooler master makes a pretty decent alternative if you're looking for low-profile switches. I've personally owned a few CM boards and they've been really good to me.

The only edge that Razer Huntsman has is having optical switches. Whether that matters or nor is another discussion. But yeah value wise, Huntsman is bad.
@4:53 - uff, that sounded awful...
10:31 Is the 'U' key stuck?
No it’s for gaming so you won’t use that key accidentally or any other key u choose
I actually don't miss the num pad at all. And I love the extra space on my desk.
i think the mini looks cool and i really like it but i gotta go with the te just for the f keys and using the keys above the arrows for shortcuts

Most subscriber of this channel are too poor for it
Did it break shortly after uploading the video?
most likely.
Mine hasn't broken in 7 years. I don't use it anymore, because custom is better but I don't get the durability meme. Just don't throw it into the wall
@@lauridscm1 you don't get the durability meme because your keyboard is 7 years old, (first gen razer products were awesome, nowadays their quality control is horrible and it breaks with light use, I purchased 3 deathadders, 2 for me and one for my girlfriend directly from Amazon, 3 of them died from different failures, I was able to use the parts that were good and build one that works, I wonder how long this one will last, probably not much. One was having disconnecting issues, the second had the scrollwheel broken after like 3 months of light use and the third would have a left click issue making it possible to use for play or work.
@@romano5785 tbh, both the left click issue and scroll wheel thing are huge issues that these big companies have constantly. My new mouse, Rog chakram, has replaceable switches for that reason. If you have the know-how, you could pretty easily desolder the shoddy switch and replace it. Preferably with a high quality Omron. There are scroll wheel replacement modules for sale online, YMMV with those though. Hope you can get it sorted. If not, I always search scroll/click issue before buying
chrisserung not after like 2 months of use
I like 60 percent because a full size keyboard feels so extra after using one for so long. The full size now feels like im rocking a full recording studio setup.
7:27 Logitech's keyboards (at least the G512 and G513) both have secondary functions lit up. On my G513 (the Romer-G Linear option) F5 through F12, along with PrintScreen, Scroll Lock and Pause, all have secondary functions, but due to the way the light scatters around in the keycap, they don't light up much, and the lighting pattern is a bit inconsistent, especially at the bottom bit of the function icon. I can understand why Razer rather choose to leave them unlit, since unless you're in a darker environment where the lighting can shine bright comparative the the surroundings, its easier to see printed or engraved on. That said, I have my keyboard on a static purple most of the time, and when running the rainbow effect you can definitely notice the icons better due to brighter colours overall, but it's still less legible in a well-lit room than if it were printed.
I was actually thinking of getting this until I saw the outrageous price
For 60%, it's not really outrageous
For a value 60% check out the GK61. Same optical switches for ½ the price.
notSALTY uh you can find hotswap gk61 for $40 tho
@@myric5693 That's true. But I had the Amazon price in mind rather than the AliExpress price.
$100 is about entry level for a good mechanical keyboard. There are decent cheaper ones but the lower you go, the more of a minefield it becomes. And if you specifically want a 60% keyboard like this one it becomes really hard - they are perhaps the least popular style so most low cost manufacturers don't make them.
never ever have i been this early
I've recognized it as soon as it's released, it's very tempting but I do want 65% more
Mini layout is not for me, but they are a good price for the PBT keycaps. I got a Huntsman Elite purple switches on sale, there is a twang sound with these gen 1, but once you're listening to anything you can't hear it anymore. Which I always am.
Am I the only one who thinks he seems really annoyed during this video?
They've publicly been very disappointed with razer hardware
I totally see what you mean, like something happened beforehand or he was just in a shitty mood for this video.
I think that it’s just razer are just disappointing
He knows what a good keyboard is supposed to feel like but probably can't complain too much. I can see the pain in his eyes lmao.
Yeah I never liked James on product reviews tbh
I'd rather see Riley or other random LTT staff members
"historically accurate"
*lasers*
Tracers are great, aren’t they?
Lol i was interested in 60% keyboard last week and just decided to buy this one since it wasnt a random chinese name brand. I had no idea it was new additionally issues I have noticed is that the lighting doesnt continue upon loggin back into computer
The Kemove Shadow / Snowfox 60% is still far and away the best deal in the mini-mech market at $89 USD w/ hot-swappable switches, Bluetooth 5.1, 3000mAh battery, and a lot more. Ridiculously underrated.
60% is too small for me. I´m a 65% layout minimum...i need my arrows :)
There are 60% keyboards with arrow keys
@@mississaugaman5211 which is called 65% -.-
William naw, there are 60s with the arrow keys embedded in other keys
William look up the RK61 keyboard
@@mississaugaman5211 that is basically layering, its kinda misleading when you said "have arrow keys" when it doesnt have a dedicated key for it. But i get your point, cause not every 60% keeb have dedicated arrows on 2nd layer (or if they do, the icons are not there on the keycaps)
1:07 uhhh, no, no i didnt guess it
I play SnowRunner and i use the Nun Pad to Switch gears and turn on/off engine and headlights , ex. 4= low 5=auto 8 = high etc.

Shut up
Wow.
I really like these channels, but you don't have to do the dumb thumbnails, please try something else
@@Mike546378 okay, I guess so
The dampener is only present in the linear switch, the clicky one has no dampener. Also pretty sure the Chinese company that makes those switches is the same company that makes light strike switches so you can probably get replacement switches from them that will fit.
looks nice, shame i killed 2 razer boards (switches that randomly think they are pressed) in 6 months so dont think ill get one just yet as hope these arent as fragile.
Pay more for less - Razer | next piece of sotware: Press the home key to start.
Mini keyboards will regularly be more expensive than their larger counterparts because they have much smaller production volumes.
yes smaller keyboards cost more. literally every brand not just razer does that. you clearly dont know much about keyboards if you didnt know that
@@4skintim962 you only asume i did not know... but you asume wrong. The price is too high though even if its produced in lower volumes. Its a Razer. Its more expensive just because this name is on it. You always find better quality for less money than Razor.
U dumb right?
This is the most bland review I have ever seen on this channel lol
The ending was great it's basically:
"If you're already using Razer products /and/ have Synapse lighting for everything.. this is good, this is the keyboard for you."
Lol, Razer Cult + Synapse Ecosystem ='s Apple of "gAmInG" products.
They have never and will never do reviews on this channel. This channel is only for first looks and first impressions. Go to Linustechtips if you want reviews.
@@JHN322 that's not entirely true , they shouldn't do reviews here and probably wont again but taran's video here was basically just a review he spent weeks with that thing
Munjee It is without a doubt 100% true, they DON’T do any reviews here. Linus has said it over and over again idk why it’s tough for some people to understand. Tarans video like Brandon’s camera videos are just more in-depth first looks not reviews. There is a reason why the channel is called Shortcircut
@@munjee2 It's not useful to do a first look of an item that does something without first doing that something. It would be like judging a monitor or laptop without turning it on and actually using it. For Taran's video (the Loupedeck), it wouldn't make sense to make a video about it without having used it, and it's a complicated device so yes it requires more than just plugging it in and pressing some buttons to get an idea of it.
What do you do if you need arrow key? Like to move the text cursor ? Is there a keybinding of you need to use another keyboard ? Or you just mash delete and rewrite what you typed ?
The purple switches on this board is incredible to type on, especially if you want to use a light touch and use that tactile feedback to adjust your force in order not to bottom out. However, I regularly get tired of the horrible sounds it has. So much so that I god a Ducky One 3 with non-clicky switches as a second board becuase it was driving me mad. But even though the Ducky sounds, feels and looks like a higher quality board, I keep returning to typing on the Huntsman Mini now and then because the switches are just so superior to type on compared to any mechanical switch I've tried. The low actuation force, crisp tactile feedback at the exact point of actuation, combined with a relatively high bottom out force makes for quite a unique switch as far as I know. But using it too long without a headset will eventually make me put it in the drawer and get out my non-clicky board every time. Because man this thing is VERY rattly and loud...
I like my keyboards loud and clicky
@@duckashi7455 Yeah. The Huntsman is an awesome and unique board though. If I spent more time with a really good ANC headset and the Huntsman was a 65% layout I might probably take it back as my main board, no matter if its hated upon by keyboard enthusiasts.
@@oes2546 at least it’s better then my $15 board I got from walmart
I don’t really get these small keyboards, either you have space for a full sized keyboard or you don’t have enough even for this one
Because i can remap keys in firmware on mine. i have no use for a capslock key so i remapped it to escape. all the other keys are on a function layer so i can still use arrow keys by hitting fn+wasd. Pretty much all the keys i want are there, its just in a convenient form factor with firmware i can modify myself. All of that is there on this razer keyboard, except for maybe the firmware
portability - try fitting a full sized kb in a backpack
FaZe_MLG I think there is a reason laptops have keyboards in them and some of them aren’t that bad
Frandscus - In this we are quite different in fact I actually find it less comfortable when my hands are closer together on the keyboard
@@Lagrange00 most desktop membrane keyboards aren't that bad, it's just that mechanical kb's are better
$120 for a 60% Keyboard... HARD PASS!!!
30$ tops. And thats even overprized for a razer-thingy...
@@ShimadaSharra 30 dollars for a 60% keyboard with razer optical switches? Not on ur life
@@lucacocozza you can get 60% boards with gateron optical switches for £30-£40, and they are probably better then razer's shitstain switches
sadly I could deal with a tenkeyless board but the F- and arrow keys are a must-have for me
His enthusiasm seems to represent 2020 in a nutshell. Great review especially
razer with their overpriced stuff back again
Nah razer is really doing well now I mean it’s mainstream with lazers
@D W I bought the RK61 a year ago for 35 would still do it..
@@AmanAman-ri9kk you can buy a superior Anne pro ii or dk61 for $30-40 less lol
this was my 1st macanical keybord lol and i was just looking for revews for if it was as good as i think it is
Just ordered a black Linear one , hope it’s goood
In conclusion:
Its a scam get an Anne Pro or Ducky or GMNK Compact :)
Secondary function on the whirlwind FX are lit up
@shortcircuit Just a note ;) Logitech g413 secondary functions (on the front of keycaps not the top) are lit. Too bad its not RGB....
my lightweight 60% build with a wood case is 740g :D
So enjoyable, love James reviews despite not being that into keyboards.
I like it when the key caps go shiny over time. It's a cool heatmap of most keys pressed and evidence that I've had it for a long while so my money was well spent.
I own the white huntsman mini with the Linear Optical Switches and its the best gaming switch I ever used.. I also own a Glorious GMNK TKL with their Panda switches and the Logitech g915 wireless with the Cherry MX Red switches and this razer keyboard shits on all of them
Can you change profiles without synape? Meaning like pressing a physical button on the back of the keyboard or something....
Im thinking to have macro/remap my second profile as the same but with the arrow keys instead of IJKL when i dont press the fn button.
Im a photographer and sometimes i need to scroll through a bunch of photos without typing.
