You can get a mech kb from me, just reviews

"I dont need a numpad because I dont do any real work" lol
Haha, woul´ve commented that if you hadn´t already
Was going to comment exactly that X"D
I read this right as he said it
I have a numpad as a layer in my keyboard. If I would use one every day I would have a seperate numpad left of my keyboard because then I can type with my left the numbers and can still use my mouse with the right comfortably.
I just type a lot and have in another layer put all the brackets, simicolons, apostrophes etc. On one for easily accessibility because I use them a lot while programming.
Everyone has different needs and uses and I prefer to tailor the tools I use everyday for house on end to perfectly fit my needs. That took countless of hours, but the ones it saved me were well worth it.

Keyboards are only good for gaming, for typing just use a controller.
Thats some cursed knowledge

"Why would you spend more than $10 on a keyboard?"
Why would you spend more than $20 on a pair of shoes?
why would you spend more than $30 on your bicycle?
Because I don't want to buy a new pair of shoes every other month I guess
Performance & quality
why would you spend 60$ for a video game??
Le-Grande my 3 dollar shoes have been fine for 4 years and my membrane keyboard lasted 4 months. the mechanical one has been a bit over 10 years. so yea, personal experience probably isnt your best argument
To confuse coworkers with your 60% and smaller boards, that is why.
Bonus points for using unprinted keycaps
@@Aggrofool everyone thinks im a mad lad to daily a 40% with blank caps and just refuse to type on my computer
@@Aggrofool even more points if ortholinear
@@atlantic9656 that's the way especially with 40%
To annoy co-workers with blue switches, that is why.
The keyboard community feels like the stationery community: Once you get in, you can't get out and those outside the community don't understand your interest.
Very similar to the headphone community
That’s outdated now since basically everyone is in the keyboard community now after the gpu crash they needed to do something other than computer sht

Because once you start you just can't stop... Just can't stop... In the last two years I bought 4 keyboards. Money that could have been spent upgrading my graphics card to a 1080ti. And I'm not for yet. I still wanna have more!

In two months i had 6 🙂

This is pretty brief, and I kinda touched on other things as well. But let me know your reasons on why a mechanical keyboard is worth it!
Next time when my mother asks me why would i buy a keyboard with less keys? or why would you need an other keyboard when you already have one? I will just show her this video. Thanks TaeKeyboards
I see u didnt cover yet the kailh low profile RED switch. If you want, and can, there are few options, like gamdias hermes p3 rgb or dareu ek820. They´re cheap 50 bucks keyboards.
It is worth the quality of the keys, the key-press feels, and the responses for any purposes. The only two issues for me are the price and its noisy clicky sound. I work in an office/lab that is shared with other people. My slow 66-wpm typing speed is still noisy for a mechanical keyboard. As for my personal gaming PC, the non-mechanical keyboards are much more affordable (less than 40% of the price of mech keyboards) and they are still convenient for gaming.
you hit the nail on the head.. I've always loved numpads, others don't. Now I understand that it is because I do real work - whereas some people have computers just to play games )

Experiment
I use my PC mostly to play games, so when I got my new gaming PC I got a mechanical KB almost like just a cool prop.
I was incredibly surprised when my years old wrist pain which I had just accepted as part of life quickly went away. Best purchase ever.
Oh snap. I didn't realize my wrist pain went away since I switched to a mechanical keyboard too.
Wtf
@@dephc0n1 how did the mechanical KB help you with your wrist pain?
@@ThePhilosopherLB maybe it was higher key caps so he doesn't have to put his hand at a weird angle
@@ThePhilosopherLB might be due to bad posture. Mechanical keyboards don't fix that, but it will take less actuation force, so that might be a reason. Not well educated on this, just what I think are going on
I love the click clack sound of mechanical keyboard.
yes it feels heavenly
I am not suprised that you need a typewriter instead of keyboard, dude seriously ....you go mechanical...time backwards???
I love the smooth linear sound in mechanical keyboards.
I love the quiet tapping sound of membrane keyboards
I love the braak sounds when people slam their expensive mechanical keyboard for getting their ass kicked over a game
I love the sensation of typing with loud clicky noise with BLUE SWITCH.
It feels going back to old times.

Too late, I'm already Obsessed and I can't afford them.
@@zephskiee5395 dude just buy keycaps and use that

@@fayenotfaye $100 is about PLN400, so that would mean spending a fifth of your monthly pay if you're getting minimal wage in Poland (dad's a teacher, and that's what teachers get here), so I think I'll still pass ;PP
The "problem" (rabbit hole) with this hobby is not just get a mechanical keyboard, its all the options you have. Each switch (that is incresing every year with more models and switch mods), each keycap profile, each material you use for the plate, case, lube or not lube, etc can change completely the feel of the keyboard when typing, so you never end
Yup, so many options. Joining the community and talking to people makes it worse as well haha
I don't see that as q problem
I have seven keyboards and it's been less than a year since I got into this hobby.
Lube lol
In my opinion that’s what makes it so interesting...
One big point you forgot to add. Keyboarding and making keyboards is an art. When you custom make a keyboard, you have the ability to express your feelings through the way you make the keyboard. You can be creative and basically do what ever you want.
2:50 whats that behind the keyboard

I can witness that we built a small but very interesting , funny and active community around mechanical keyboards here in Italy. It's engaging and I never thought that I would have met so many awesome guys. This is one of the best aspects of this hobby.
Praise the KING
That's awesome man! Glad to hear there's a solid community in Italy :)
Vero in Italia c'è un seguito abbastanza ampio riguardo alle tastiere meccaniche secondo me uno dei fautori di cio , almeno su YouTu.be, è Riccardo Palombo di hdd blog ... È grazie a lui che mi sono avvicinato al mondo delle tastiere meccaniche ed alle periferiche come mouse, trackpad , track ball ecc.

After you use a mechanical keyboard, you will never back
Can confirm, got one and haven't backed since.
It just feels wrong 😂 everything else feels "mushy"
I've made a mistake getting into pc's and mechanical keyboards .__. endless rabbit hole of expenses lol (its worth it tho ;) )
I just lub the sond
When I got my first mechanical keyboard, it felt amazing and I'm addicted
You covered pretty much everything. Great job. This will probably be the go to video for anyone asking this question from now on.
I love the collecting aspect, as well as the fact that there is so much to learn from lots of different fields. The combination of science and art really floats my boat.
Oh totally. I've learned a bunch of stuff with electronics, design, etc.
@@TaeKeyboards But all these keyboards you review are mostly crap and you know it. Because they use normal leaf based switches, they develop chatter. You should review more optical, hall effect or topre capacitive switched keyboards because of their immunity to double press or chatter issue. And you should also emphasize their superiority over normal switches so that people will not be deceived by "50 million keypress" lies.
can confirm.
You got us there at 2:51 there, Tae.
Anywho, I think you covered pretty much why a mech board can really be what it is: an upgrade to your daily utility, in which you have the choice to pick what you like and how much you can afford, if you can give it a chance, and delve into more than looking at name brands that we edgelord gamers love apparently.
Below the waist!!

Y'all come to Sydney to receive your punches 😘
TaeKeyboards im not a tier 3 man
Hey there! I totally agree with you on the benefits of mechanical keyboards. They truly elevate the typing experience and give you the freedom to customize. By the way, have you checked out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for cleaning your desktop and keyboard. It has a powerful vacuum and blowing function, making cleaning a breeze. Definitely worth considering! 😄
Almost at 40k bro. You explained this in a professional way. Best of wishes, good video
Thanks mate :)
Thanks for all the videos. I'm currently not able to build my own, but it's really cool seeing someone so passionate about mechs.
Man, the amount of times i had to show this video to my girl because she was saying that i could just get cheaper keyboards (membranes).

$20 mechanical keyboard shipped to my door from amazon has changed the way I use my computer. I have learned how to type so much faster (about 40wpm), increased use of keyboard shortcuts, as well as gaming.
Get yourself an IBM model M ;) i was at around 50-55 WPM with a normal cherry mx brown keyboard and now with an IBM model m I’m hitting about 60+
I'm using a redragon k553 for about 2 years now and can type at around 95-100 WPM
I can type around 90-100wpm on my Razer Blackwidow Chroma 2014 with Razer Greens and around closer to 90s on my Logitech G610 with MX Browns.
I just bought a new one with MX Blues, can't wait for it to arrive!
i type 120 wpm with a 12 year old hp keyboard though
would i type faster with a mechanical one?
stuqedits nope, i learned and mastered typing on a laptop keyboard with around 110 wpm the only thing that improved was accuracy when I got a mech keyboard 2 years ago
Sir, "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention". Subbed, have a nice rest of your week ;)
An entire channel dedicated to keyboards ? Omg yes, thank you!
There's a whole community for keyboards out there?! And the meets are right here in 🇦🇺?! How have I never heard of this?! 😱
Jini you never looked for it ig lol, but I wish we had as big of a mk community here lol
You look pretty

to confuse my friends with blank keycaps
and yea, mecha feels way better than mushy membrane
I bought a Havit. It's compact, about the same width as a laptop. Back lit with several pulsing lights. Not a biggy for me but looks good. I earn my living writing books. The Havit is class.
So many good reasons.. I try to convert my loved ones to a mechanical keyboard but I'm afraid some people will just never get it
Honestly this is such an addicting hobby,my 6th keyboard is arriving next week
Unpopular opinion here. For some reason, I don’t find using mech keyboard to be comfortable. I feel like there’s too much key travel there, making my workflow feels quite slow. For me, slim keyboards like the Microsoft Surface Keyboard or the Apple Magic Keyboard are really comfortable to use. I can’t be the only one here.
Ahmes Syahda I agree but also I don’t like the way mechanical keyboards look.
Same here, i really don't like the way they work and the way they look. Till now magic keyboard is the best
maybe look for switches with a higher actuation point, like the cherry mx speed. if you install o-rings and/or get silent switches the key travel gets way shorter. or even maybe look for low-profile switches
I love the sound and feel of mechanical keyboards, but I love the low profile, efficiency, and sleek design of scissor switch keyboards (which seem to be very difficult to find outside of laptops)
Its not only the looks and comfort,mechanical keyboards give you an advantage in many games and last a lot longer
Thank you very much, finally now i know. We are waiting for your next video,keep healthy and keep uploading
A mechanical keyboard is worth it because of the experience it provides. No other peripheral in a computer environment offers the feeling that MKBs provide, every time you press a key and you feel each and every part of that switch working just feels so awesome it's actually quite undescribable.
The customization available is also a huge plus especially since you can change the look with just a simple swap.
"but the deeper you go the more expensive it gets, and the more it starts to not make sense to the outside world."
that line hits a core.
I ordered a Keychron K12-K3 today, it's affordable so I can get a good feeling about mechanical keyboards. It looks great, too in my opinion. Now I'm super hyped about it so I'm watching your videos to keep me busy until I get it!
“i’ll need some color to brighten up my existence.”
*well damn-*
5:31 i sure hope this means a BLACKPINK-styled custom mechanical keyboard !
You are the reason I chose the tecware phantom 87. (Outemu blue cuz i tried the browns and didn’t like it). Hopefully my subscription will be a stepping stone to a million. Amazing job and keep the quality videos coming!
the title is what my dad said to me when i asked for a keyboard
first video I've watched of 2019 and I am quite drunk but I can still use my membrane keyboard but now I want a mechanical one...happy new year
I have a mech kb to review, are you interested in reviews
@@puchangnie4616 I think most people like reviews, more so when it's something they want to buy.

wait what i didn't know keyboard collecting was a thing
Got really confused when I saw Blackpink at the end LOL #BLINKS4LIFE
I bought the Ajazz Ak33 because of your review on it. you go so in depth with your reviews and clearly outline good and bad things about them. You also find keyboards that most people who are searching for a new budget keyboard would miss and not find usually.
Holy crap, that Sydney meetup logo is SO good! haha

“Why mechanical?”
...because they’re dope!
Just got my Redragon today, bought it because of this video. Love it so far, my old keyboard was so flat.

I've had a membrane keyboard for a while now, but recently I decided to upgrade and I have been thinking of getting a mechanical one. You just persuaded me to get one! Amazing video by the way.
1 month ago I never even knew this world of keyboards existed. Now I can’t wait for my Anne Pro 2 to arrive!
Not gonna lie. I love your channel and mechanical keyboards and all but I liked and subscribed because you put a little bit of BlackPink in lol.

2:51 he got me, thats a neck for me
I like the feeling of mechanic keyboard
I cannot believe I have never seen your channel before today! I use an IBM 42H1292 date 9/21/95 since the day it was brand new. I have it rigged with multiple connectors to work on modern PC through the USB and it gives occasional hiccups because of that connection. I would LOVE to get a new mechanical keyboard with the same click/sound/feel as my favorite KB of all time and because I just stumbled across your video - I see that it is possible! THANK YOU for sharing!
My parents never wanted me to get a mechanical keyboard and lately I've been thinking about how I'd convince them to get me a budget keyboard. This is really helpful thanks!!

"My hobby is keyboards, what's yours?"
I absolutely loved this video I just spent around 500 dollars on a keybaord with a few keycap sets some switches and I actually got 2 cases the tofu and I got the klippe T r3 as there is limited stock on those and I knew I couldnt amps it up as it had the best blue I've ever seen on a leyboard like ever but yeah this made me feel better lol it has turned into a hobby with builds and I really really feel like it's like an expensive model car but I enjoy keyboards more they cna be beautiful and made well and also yly get to tear everything apart redo the switches redo some other thing lube everything so it's just like that just more fun for me
I've never thought about what keyboard I use before but this singular video just convinced me to get a mechanical one as soon as I can
After using a membrane keyboard for a long time, I descided to switch to a mechanical and let me tell you it certainly was a plessent experience.
Why so What's the major difference
imagine two pals talking about keyboards at a meetup, conversation be like
- Dude, the sound she makes when i push it a little bit harder.
- Oh yeah, i like em hard ones.
2:51 GOT EM!
Hello there TaeKeyboards, loved your video. I'm living in Turkey and prices are very high here. I'm using Steelseries Apex 7 with red switches. But i took a liking to custom 60% keyboards novadays so i want to buy one. No one sells keyboards like keychrone or drop alt kind of stuff here. And they get very expensive even i want them to be shipped to Turkey. Can you recommend me a solution, What to buy, and where to buy. Thanx in advance.
Finally someone who gave me a good answer for why should I consider a mechanical KB over membrane (MX Keys). I first thought it had something to do with typing speeds, but that seemed indifferent to me. Thank you!
Great job man! Everything you said stands 100%.
I recently bought a mechanical 105 key from WASD keyboards and damn daoes it feel great, I use in the office and still today it feels great since day 1, the joy typing on a mechanical can't be described! Recently I ordered one from Varmilo for the house, it's a shame it's very hard getting a 105 key ISO with custom layout and LED backlit. Varmilo has all that except the keycaps are not seethrough. I hope I will find one day one that completely suits my needs.
I still don't see the point in spending multiple times the cost of a normal keyboard for it to do the same thing.
Caleb_Bravo99 A Lamborghini Huracan and a Toyota Corolla do the same thing, right? Get you from one point to another. But do they offer the same driving experience? No, they absolutely do not.
@@satchinjoseph3509 Seems about the same to me. Only difference is appearance and price.
its like those gundam kit people, at least you can use the keyboard
Mechanical keyboards are pretty much for hobbyist and enthusiasts. If you aren't into that thing then you really wouldn't see the point in there.
Mechanical is great for gamer,unless you are just casual user,then you wont see why its expensive.
nah i got mine because it goes CLICK CLICK

This is just what I needed to go ahead and get a mechanical keyboard! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and great visuals!
I’ve never thought that I’d be so hyped about ordering a keyboard
I love your reviews!! Just wondering do you have a video about mechanical keyboard buying guide for the newbies?? I’ve used membrane keyboard for my whole life and I kinda got interested in mechanical keyboards. But all I know is the typical brands like Logitech, Corsair, steelseries etc. do you have any recommendation from these typical brands??

I have only bought my first couple of keyboards for work and for home, because my previous keyboard has gone through hell and back. I appreciate the quality of the keyboards I bought (one is Leopold, one is Keychron) and I enjoy the feel. I don't feel compelled to dive deep into the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards that some do, but I appreciate that there's a market and interest in providing a lot of different products for people's desires and needs. It's pretty cool.

A true professional works with any keyboard
I just ordered a mechanical keyboard (HyperX Alloy FPS RGB). I thought it was pretty expensive to be honest but after doing some research, they said mechanical keyboard has a faster response time and also I love the clicking sounds. But this! This is a whole new world of keyboard! Didn't realize that this was a thing with people. Cool.
I love my corsair K70 M.2 with Cherry MX Brown switches. Sure, it costs $140. But it's something I'll use 8 hours a day for years. Plus it gets alot of attention around the office, with it's metal casing, rgb, and sexy looks.
For that $140 is nothing... I miss it when I leave the office every night, lol.
