@@metallurgicoI think when she started to work, typing was mostly done by women (that's why the comments about a man typing quite well). At 58, she was also the last generation of workers that used a typewriter. Don't look down on older people's typing skills. They had to manually correct mistakes back then. There was no delete or backspace buttons. We have it easy now.

Exactly, basically all wireless mice do this as well. MUCH better than plugging it in directly to the PC. If someone doesn't know this means they are not using wireless peripherals.
I think shortcircuit should be a "short quick review after a week" channel. First the unboxing and usual stuff. Come back in one week to tell your opinion in the same video. That way, less mistakes. But ofcouse more time taken. Not like the video releases the day the product gets out there anyway.
Mine just arrived and I'm really impressed.... keeping in my mind this is my first high-end mechanical keyboard. I got the silver case with white keys, and banana switches. Everything feels and sounds great, and the build quality is incredible. I'm actually not a gamer, and got this for video editing.
So two months have passed, what is your experience? Also will 2.4Ghz will be fine for controlling media from 2 meters? I have bad experience with K6 that I have troubles even writing in youtube search using BT.
After watching one of your reviews I picked up a K5 from Keychron, best keyboard I have ever used, picked up another for work. Something about the way the keys feel, the build quality. Just great keyboards.
The high pitched sound is pretty annoying in the video but other than that: if it had a full sized variant this seems to be the perfect keyboard to me. Bonus points if the extra buttons were pre mapped to something like F13 onwards

@@Readyplayer11 It is for their Q series, more of a premium aluminium construction and mounting, or I think some of the less common layouts. Hopefully they do expand on this new model/brand and maybe it will be a bit more affordable.
The little plastic lamp on the front is just for novelty, theres no LED behind it. You can take apart the keyboard and pop out the yellow part to make it less distracting, or remove it entirely. Theres quite a bit of flex on the sides of keyboard when pressing down on the keys, but almost no flex in the middle. It seems like theres screws on the side that would help stabilize the sides, but they are too short and so are just for show. Foam will wear down over time, so this could change. The stabilizers on most of the larger keys are not great, a fair bit of wobble. It may be possible to replace these with 3rd party ones. The macro key caps in the left can be changed out with the included playstation themed caps, but they are smaller, so there will be large gaps around the keys. Red ones are angled like regular keys, grey ones are aligned. Not sure if there are alternative large key caps that they can be switched out with. Banana switches sound great IMO, sound nice and muted. Had an issue with the right mouse movement assigned to a key with VIA in wireless mode instead activating the right mouse click. Works fine in wired mode. 2.4ghz wireless mode seems to comnect instantly with minimal to no delay.
Would love to see an open firmware keyboard like this that competes with Wooting. It's rare to find a single design in gaming hardware that is so significantly better than the others. If there were a QMK/VIA compatible hall-sensing keyboard out there though...that's the competition we need for the gaming keyboard space.
thats what i was saying to myself a bit ago i love the rapid trigger and changeable activation points on say the wooting or steelseries but im a huge fan of the fit and finish of Keychrons boards if they were to ever venture into hall effect switches id just throw my money at them.
6:30 .. Dude 'South' doesn't allow shine through keycaps unless you get some stupid looking bottom shine through keycaps which are garbage. This is why I hate South facing RGB keyboards they're useless, and worse, the RGB is shined right into your eyeball. I much rather have North facing RGB, and a metric ton of people are lousy with their keyboards and need to see the keys. And if they're gaming in the dark, which is very typical, they can't see squat!
Plouf consistently reviewing and recommending 250-500$ over priced keyboards when he hasn't reviewed a single 20-30$ hot swap that you can get on any website ever including amazon is astounding. Dude started grass roots in a humble modding scene and went full on Prada with it. This is embarrassing.
60% full keyboard? That's 2 conflicting things. 60% is a keyboard that's only 60% of a normal full keyboard. Just say 60% and leave ot at that you don't add the full part.
Bluetooth needs both emitting and receiving sides to work for a good experience. I have perfectly working Bluetooth headphones and accessories that make love with my laptop but with my desktop it’s a whole different experience
@7897sebas you would still only call it a 60% keyboard. When you say that it's 60% its the style of keys and how they are arranged. A TKL will be almost the same as a full keyboard, except it doesn't have the number pad and buttons over on the edge of the keyboard.
Bluetooth for the K1 Keychron has let down too many times to the point I hated it for a long time until figure out that the antenna just sucked. The K4 Keychron just works great though.
Lol, it's definately Keychron. And I've got the extra macrokeys on my Q0 PLus anyhow. Actually, there are five on that. Which means, I've got not one, but two dials. I mean, of course I have a dial-version of my main keyb, About the position of the plug, my main is on the left and the cable leads to the left - the Q0+ is on an angle so the plug in the middle is fine, which leads to the rights, along with the cable for the mouse. Yes, it's keyb, mouse, pad for me.
Yooo I've been watching SC for years and NEVER knew they put soft music in the background until just now watching a video through a new pair of audiophile headphones and a dedicated amp/dac that I just got. Mind blown.
Keychron is large enough to not need kickstarters anymore but it looks like an upfront cash grab for a minimally different product they would have no issue releasing on the main brand. This can't be 3x as good as a K8 wireless or the other QMK keyboards. Companies can't keep getting away with putting "gaming" in the product title to charge a premium.
I bet they include a dongle now because they know how bad their Bluetooth connection is on basically every keyboard before they included one. The Bluetooth on my K8 (UK) is SO BAD. Amlost useless. I have to use it wired 99% of the time.
2:50 I wouldn't find the dongle being female to female to be an issue. I assume most people would use it as I do my mouse. Putting the dongle in clear sight of the keyboard and then when the battery on the keyboard gets low just unplug the dongle and plug in the cable
I got my Q1 Pro on friday and build it with Gateron Northpole Boxed Red and i really like the switch. They feel extremly smooth and sound great. I also like the really low actuation force. I don't like heavy switches and i hate tactile(i don't know why but every tactile i ever tried feels scratchy) and i don't like clicky because they are to loud. Linear is the best switchtype in my opinion. They are great in every circumstances but that's peronal preference. To the wireless debate. I don't get it. Most high end custom keyboards are extremly heavy and stay stationary almost all the time. Did you really need wireless on a device you only move a couple centimeter ever so often? It makes no sense for me. On a mouse, yes, but a mouse is a device you constantly move around and a cable can be destracting.
South facing leds are trash. Key cap makers should have changed their design, not keyboard pcbs with south facing. Makes shine through annoying and near impossible to do properly.
Downside of a female to male USB-C adapter is that it's much less likely to fit next to the other things you have plugged in. So just letting you adapt to a cable sounds way more convenient.
Funny, Plouffe can't stand the large Enter key from ISO layouts while i can't stand the small one. I mean, it's one of the most used keys, or rather, important, so why not having it big instead of a large bar | key? That one is just weird, should be regular 1u size.
I have to ask ... why do you use keyboard typing tester in WPM? Since not all words are of same length ... seems kinda pointless ... why not CPM? BTW i just got my Keychron K10 Pro and absolutely love it.
He said "creamy" in a different video... 🤢The way he says "dongle" 🤢🤢 If he were to say "creamy dongle" 🤮🤮🤮 Side note: the keyboard is cool. Creamy dongle 🤮
you know the standard keychron keyboards come with the tools as well right? Not just the overpriced Leshidkey ones. Also they need to stop with this 'group buy' bullcrap. They aren't a startup with no money anymore. Just release your product like a proper big boy company now.
Oh look another tkl (or less) with accent color on 2 buttons.. zzzz.. They are more or less all the same keyboards you review, just with different gimmicks
I went from logitech to keychron at the same price point keychron feels such a better board with the ability to do actual maintenance, I'm hooked on their products jow
My G413 is double hitting some keys some days, fixes itself others, then other keys like enter miss every 3rd time I hit them, fixed itself again, and this on repeat for the past year or two after owning it for a few years now... I mean I paid 70$ I think it was for it so for a mechanical keyboard from a big brand with aluminum frame that's not bad, but definitely sub optimal. Strange as the 1-3$ logitech keyboards I've used all my life used to last me 5-8 years, so for their "premium" one to start having trouble ~1 year in is.... disappointing..
@mataskart9894 my logitech was missing presses then doubling them up. Kind of stumbled across keychron and now won't go back to logitech. As little time I have used it feels way better product then what some one like logitech was offering.
I love how Americans/Canadians always hate on the large enter key so much which is literally the ISO Standard, but yeah I guess English is the only relevant language in the world
That female to female adapter is used to reduce latency and keep a stable connection when you have your PC under your desk. It's a gaming keyboard so odds are you'd probably use it with a tower PC, or if you use it with a gaming laptop then it probably already has USB type A ports. It's probably meant more for an extender than an adapter, though you can use it for either
the new spacebars legit sound better. I had literally placed paper towel under my old K3 spacebar to dampen the sound. My new board though is great out of the box
Really wish they would get someone else to review keyboards. His opinions / comments are of his own and he doesn't think for the broad audience on top of that some of the stuff he says just doesn't make sense lol, he does not even realize what most components do or why it's included in the box.
can anyone help me understand why none of the Keychron keycaps are shinethrough? Backlit keyboard but cant see letters, cuz the letters aren't shine through, just color
It’s a design choice. Most people interested in getting something this “premium” are touch typers and so would prefer a full double shot keycap rather than a single shot with a transparency layer keycap for the “feel” of the keycap. It’s very minor stuff and 99.99% of people won’t notice. But it saves them money and feels nicer to type on.
Love the Plouffester. I just heard something that made me think Nicholas had left LTT, so I looked up his most recent video - and it was only a month ago so hopefully I just misunderstood and Plouffe is still with LTT.
1. Price 2. They're linear, a lot of people hate linears 3. You are basically stuck with like 5 switches to choose from instead of 5000 When I was using HE switches with Rapid Trigger I found myself never actually using it. Travel distances are so small that when I truly wanted to spam a key, it was always going past the typical actuation point anyways. I'd rather stick to a keyboard that feels good than potentially save 0.5ms of travel time.
My only gripe with Keychron keyboards is the LED layout.. It makes it very difficult to find key caps that are compatible with the placement of the LED. South facing RGB is rough. I own two Keychron keyboards and enjoy them besides that point.
3:54 - They have plenty of non-hotswappable keyboards. Even versions of the same keyboards, somehow. - As in, when you go to a product-page of a keyboard, you could choose between what kind of switches. And a whole bunch of them have the option to get, say, red/blue/brown switches that have white light only, but aren't hot-swappable for some reason, but then you also get the option for hot-swappable versions, but they're RGB-lighting only. - I don't really understand why not for the white-only ones, but anyway. - Unless the description is incomplete...
Just bought a Keychron V6 and love it. Massive upgrade from an old Steelseries Apex M800. Although I do miss the macro keys and more in-depth RGB control. Which is one of the only gripes I have with this keyboard. RGB control is limited. I miss the Nyan cat idle animation.
Looks like the Female USB-C to Female USB-A is supposed to be used as a wireless USB extender.

Bluetooth keyboards are bizarre to me. Does no one use their bios?
Great, now just bring that low latency to one of their keyboards without a gamer look and I'll buy one.
who tf uses rgb keyboards without shine through keykaps? why even manufacture them? what is the usecase?

You gotta add those adjustable feet so people can kill their wrists faster!
An aside...please clean that dusty Short Circuit laptop! 😮
I have no real interest in keyboards, but I come here to watch entire herds of people who do. It's a rare spectacle.
Good to see it have 2.4GHz wireless option. Model without knob side would be good too.
I wonder when male/female terminology get canceled

Please make video 57 in vs 49 in Neo g9 monitor... be side together
a 15 minute video and not one game played.. L review off principle
holy crud 214 usd for a keyboard ... anyone wanna buy my kidney?
Who is that guy that keeps talking off camera. Just let the host talk
I'm from Boston and I hate you for saying "dongle" wrong.
But does it razer?
can anyone help me understand why none of the Keychron keycaps are shinethrough? Backlit keyboard but cant see letters, cuz the letters aren't shine through, just color
It’s a design choice. Most people interested in getting something this “premium” are touch typers and so would prefer a full double shot keycap rather than a single shot with a transparency layer keycap for the “feel” of the keycap.
It’s very minor stuff and 99.99% of people won’t notice. But it saves them money and feels nicer to type on.
I love your fit! Its so cute! If I was into men, Id anoy you online. ❤️
Nice style. I prefer extras on top or to the right though. I'd rather have my esc column be the only thing on the left side.
Gaming keyboard but less keys? Lmao no thank you.
Love the Plouffester. I just heard something that made me think Nicholas had left LTT, so I looked up his most recent video - and it was only a month ago so hopefully I just misunderstood and Plouffe is still with LTT.
sorry but i will only refer to this as le monkey *heavy french accent*
I use the K8 on Bluetooth and it's perfectly fine.
Big companies using kickstarter... Yikes
Keychron is truly trying to take on Logitech.
What is the point of getting this kind of gaming keyboard when hall effect keyboards are already all over the place?
1. Price
2. They're linear, a lot of people hate linears
3. You are basically stuck with like 5 switches to choose from instead of 5000
When I was using HE switches with Rapid Trigger I found myself never actually using it. Travel distances are so small that when I truly wanted to spam a key, it was always going past the typical actuation point anyways. I'd rather stick to a keyboard that feels good than potentially save 0.5ms of travel time.
Still can't get K8P-J3Z in Poland.
I thought I was the only one who didn't like Bluetooth.
Nuphy keeb with baby racoon switches is the best.
My only gripe with Keychron keyboards is the LED layout.. It makes it very difficult to find key caps that are compatible with the placement of the LED. South facing RGB is rough. I own two Keychron keyboards and enjoy them besides that point.
I got a really good-looking side print keycap kit for my K8 Pro. Bought on Etsy
yep same here, its wierd i dont see any option, for shine through/side print.
As a person from boston that was a horrible accent.
Why was the price blacked out?
3:54 - They have plenty of non-hotswappable keyboards. Even versions of the same keyboards, somehow. - As in, when you go to a product-page of a keyboard, you could choose between what kind of switches. And a whole bunch of them have the option to get, say, red/blue/brown switches that have white light only, but aren't hot-swappable for some reason, but then you also get the option for hot-swappable versions, but they're RGB-lighting only. - I don't really understand why not for the white-only ones, but anyway. - Unless the description is incomplete...
Just bought a Keychron V6 and love it. Massive upgrade from an old Steelseries Apex M800. Although I do miss the macro keys and more in-depth RGB control. Which is one of the only gripes I have with this keyboard. RGB control is limited. I miss the Nyan cat idle animation.
