I learned how to type on a low profile keyboard, I tried switching to a mechanical keyboard and it sucked, it's just a lot more work to move my fingers around and fatigue sets in really fast
Yes. Low profile keyboards are way better. To bad they are often lacking the other good features. All this, because people are stupid and they know nothing about what is good for them, because ads says otherwise. Low keyboard is just faster to type and better for your hands. High keyboard has no benefit over low keys.
that statement doesn't make sense. there is no distinction between low profile and mechanical keyboards. they are not mutually exclusive. you should just be meaning that you moved to a standard switch/key cap setup. you can have mechanical keyboards that are low profile as well.
Cpt. Buli how to o-rings change anything about keyboard angle? They are just sound dampeners and they don’t reduce the travel by that much compared to regular switches without o rings.
ShuCore Work they changed the size of the keyboard while it faded away to reveal the next keyboard, quite a simple transition! I tried my best to explain it 😅
I am super impressed with your videos Canuks! I have been doing way too much research on low profile keyboards and found basically the same thing, IT'S NOT ONE SIZES FITS ALL! Great down-to-earth analysis about low-profile boards, it's about time someone say that it's difficult to find a low-profile board.
I have used the g915 and thought it was an ok experience, but thought they might be a little too thin, similar to a laptop experience. I currently have the corsair k55 and am thinking of upgrading to the k70 low profile. Would this be a medium between low profile and not feeling too thin?
Greeting my favorite review channel! I would like to know if there's any possibilities that you get the new Deepcool Macube 310/P and review it? Cause that case is about $60 in my country and I want to know is that case any better than the Phanteks P300?
Dmitry, do you know if any of these have switch options for Mac OS X? The comfort is why I am using an Apple branded keyboard. It’s definitely comfortable and small. Yes, I heard that construction. Grrr, that happens around here as well.
What about the Tesoro GRAM xs? You guys talked about it at CES but haven't gone back to it. I've been wondering what's your opinion about the slim mechanical keyboard which should've been in this list.
ITs basically the Corsair K70 Mk2 LP RF in a different frame, Same exact keys and switches. Just a different coat of paint. With that said. You cant go wrong. Im in love with my K70 LP with the exact same low profile cherry speed switches.
Hey Dimitri just wanted to say thank you for finally shedding some light on this segment. I personally was ENTHRALLED by the tesoro prototype low profile switches at computex several years ago. I think my next deck is going to be low profile, but after watching your video I think I'll wait.
Honestly if logitech releases the G915 in a TKL and 60% version, with switch variants, they're pretty much gonna control the market. Edit : Guys I know about the G915 TKL. I have one ordered. You can stop telling me that there is one.
Also need a decent price, a not so buggy GHub software. Since they don't have any proper competitors they can charge a ridiculous price. Their GHub has lots of bugs that haven't been fixed for over a year (can be found on Reddit)
There are some switch variants for the g915 taktile are like brown switches, linear like the red and klicky like the blue Cherry mx switches. in my Country there are no klicky and no linear with my keyset, only the taktile. TKL is no option to me everyone has his individual needs. I think they will do one just because they need to. in two months i will make a new build get rid of my 6 Year old system then i'll get to my system a new screen and the g915
@Connor G They definitely know. I was a tester for this and it was pretty unanimous that everyone in the group wanted it. They're going down the path of making everyone buy this model now while waiting a year or more to have them buy another keyboard when the TKL arrives.
I have small hands and developing nerve issue and find my logitech g513 to be too high. The g513 is about 35mm tall, and I see the g815/915 is 22mm tall...how noticable would this difference be? Would I just benefit more from a membrane ergonomic office keyboard?
As a laptop keyboard user for pretty much all of my life, I found most keyboards to be WAY too tall for a comfortable typing experience. Until I found out about the Logitech G815. I picked it up in the clicky switch version on sale for $160 and man am I impressed. I get all the satisfyingly mechanical feel and sound without the wrist strain and pain. Plus, my typing speed and accuracy has improved exponentially since picking one up. It's also just so satisfying to use when gaming! The G915 looks cool but I'm using it for a desktop setup so it would just end up plugged in all the time anyway, and I also gain a USB passthrough for some added convenience. Logitech really did a great job with this one!
Love the breakdown, it would be helpful if you indicated which keyboard you were typing on during the sound test @ 4:56 .I only recognized the Tesoro and the Logitech. Other then that I love the shootout and summary.
Thx for the great video. Would've spared me some time a few weeks ago while I was looking for a good low-profile mechanical keyboard. I tested the Cooler Master KS650, Corsair K70, Tesoro Gram XS, Roccat Vulcan 121 and Sharkoon PureWriter. Sadly none of the keyboards could convince me entirely and after trying out some more regular profile mechanical keyboards and ended up buying a wireless Surface Keyboard. It's not mechanical but very comfortable coming from an older Apple wired keyboard due to the fact that the footprint of both keyboards is more or less identical. I was curious though to test the Logitech G915 but at that pricepoint I wasn't even remotely willing to pay that much for a keyboard.
Any chance of you guys looking at the Rosewill Neon M61? It's incredibly cheap and well reviewed but there's not enough information out there for me to safely purchase it.
There is also another missing keyboard it the havit HB-395L. I own it and love it its everything that the others didnt have for the exception of the build strength. Small amount of flex in the deck not enough to notice though.
I'm still waiting for something to replace my Thrustmaster Tacticalboard. That thing is awesome, especially the seven buttons for the thumb (amazingly useful). Why use a full size keyboard for gaming when your right hand is always on the mouse?
i've been using the DREVO Joyeuse 96 for almost two years now and i'm really happy with it. imo its the best looking keyboard i've ever seen, its mechanical and because of the weird layout (that might be difficult getting use to at first) i have a numpad (which it's a much have for me) with a small TKL form factor. edit: for some reason this model are no longer for sale o_O
Thanks for the video! Yes I love low profile keyboards. I think it was your love for low profile keyboards that got me to subscribe to you many years ago in hopes of tips for a great low profile keyboards. I have been using low profile scissor/membrane keyboards for about 17 years and I am so sad that for many, many years there really haven't been much low profile keyboards. I really ain't in to these mechanical keyboards. I tried one for few months with cherry reds maybe 5 years ago but only got my wrists to hurt so bad. Just can't use them. Cougar has the best keyboards at the moment I have found and tried. I've had 2x Cougar 200K's and 1x Cougar Vantar. I like the 200K better. It has everything and it is cheap. Tho they have discontinued it now. Maybe I should stack them up now. x( Logitech released the Illuminated keyboard way back like 2008 or something and it was awesome feeling keyboard to type on BUT the famous problem was that you couldn't press W + Shift + Space at the same time which is pretty problematic while gaming. x( Please continue to make more of these videos I love them. Great work!
Its a small thing, but the only thing stopping me from picking up the Logitech 815 (The wired version of the wireless version in the window) is that the symbol characters on the number keys and across the board aren't illuminated. If I'm going to drop £150 quid on a mechanical RBG wired keyboard I want my bloody symbols to be nice and glowy too! Is that too much to ask? T_T
Logitech honestly would've been my first choice of all of these due to its minimalist design and sleek looking RGB. However, as awesome as this keyboard is, I don't see anything about it that warrants spending $250. Guess I'll have to go with either Corsair or Cooler Master. EDIT: Don't sleep on Keychron, guys!
I have the logitech G915 in TKL White its a great keyboard but how much its asking I wish the keycaps did not wear out my WASD keys are starting to disappear finding replacement keycaps is hard
Blasted CrazyCUE (wonder if its related to CrazyGlue?) giving my PC the Scheisseshitz today so dont think I will ever take a second look at corsair ever again.... except cases. No light s on a keyboard is hard troubleshooting, Does corsair do a brail version? lmao
Also I recommend you check out the keychron k1 and k3. Which are a TKL and a 75% keyboard low profile layout using custom optical low profile switches made by them. K3 is yet to ship and it would be really cool if you could do a video on that in the future (just a suggestion). Its the only other solid competitor to the logitech g915 TKL with wireless/wired keyboard with a low profile using mechanical switches. Have a nice day and thanks for all the cool informative videos! :)
It's a type of digital transition known as morphing. It was used everywhere back in the '90s - commercials, TV shows, games, music videos, you name it. While sometimes it was executed to great effect, most of the time it came off kinda cheesy... and it got way, WAY overused. You don't see it much anymore because of that. Figured he did it here mostly as a cheeky throwback. 😉
@@aaltoiz It never became a problem to me. Although it did happen few times. I also use the bottom part for supporting my palms and the keyboard is on lower settings. It doesn't happen any more.
after going through 5 or so different keyboards i settled with the G815 in white with the GL tactile. It's not perfect but I like the sound, the thickness and LP key caps. The RGB is much more versitile and vibrant on the logitec boards as well. My biggest complaint is the keycaps make a loose sound when shaking the keyboard giving a low quality impression but after a few months of using it, definetly satisfied specially since it was heavily discounted at best buy for $110 only wish is they would make a wireless version with the clicky switch config.
Hello! thanks for the review. you helped me. I choose between g915 and vulcan 120. chose vulcan in white and mouse kain 200 white. g915 the only wireless .it's a pity! I am waiting wireless mechanical white keyboard no bluetooth
Why did you include the Gram Mx One and not the normal Tesoro Gram? The normal one comes with shorter key caps to match the frame and the blue switch version especially is extremely satisfying.
The Havit low profile keyboard is what I use. Definitely worth looking at considering it is cheap, uses low profile kailh blue switches, and has lasted me 2 years at this point.
I have a Havit HV KB390 L TKL board witch I consider the best keyboard I've ever used for gaming. The blue switches are great. Havit discontinued the design for reasons I have no clue. My back up is a ReDragon K621 RGB TKL. Which isn't bad but is a tad bit stiffer on the key stroke.
Check out the Redragon Shrapnel keyboard. I enjoy it and have no complaints. Good low budget mechanical keyboard with low profile full rgb red switches.
I've always had a lot of respect for your videos, simple things like a product being too expensive being a factor to not recommend some products. Many reviewers will say there is a best product of a certain category, and reccomend such products but dont consider that the expensive price for what your getting may be too high to justify
"not supposed to minimize the footprint" Please check out the Drevo joyuse. Wireless, mechanical, low profile and still has a numpad withput being massive. Obviously has some layout compromises, but are they bad enough to not buy it? The only reason I dont own one, is it is only available in US layout... 😐
I really want to love my G815 but the keys seem smaller than I'm used to......and I often accidentally tap one of the G keys next to the ctrl button. What I really want is something like the sk630 or other low pro mech keyboard but with the individual media buttons rwd/ff/play sound on/off.
well, i used a cherry mx stream and now a logitech iluminated. so when i hear "low profile" and see those, it doenst really fit. i wish there was a keyboard as flat as those with mechanical silent key.
Why hasn't anyone made a silent, low profile? I'd pay $400-700 for some low profile ZILENT V2 tactile switches in a 75% form factor. But that'll never exist.
Finally a reviewer who mentions the most important factor in choosing a low profile. Ergonomics. I have used 3 different mech keyboards in the past and while I liked them for the feedback and feel they provide while typing my wrist would start hurting and the movement would lock up. It would be made even worse if I was to raise the feet. I failed to find large sized semi soft keyboard rests. I am using microsoft surface and apple magic keyboard. Both give me absolutely no pain in the wrist even though I spend 8h a day using them. Lets hope one day we get a bluetooth TKL low profile keyboard with tactile feel and regular sized arrow keys.
I use the K70 Low Profile with MX Speed switches and absolutely love it. I'm coming from a Strafe RGB that I used for years and I feel like this is one of the best upgrades I have ever made to my set up. If it broke tomorrow I would be buying another one immediately. It's the most comfortable keyboard I have ever typed on, and I really believe that Corsair is killing the game with aesthetics on all of their peripherals. The only thing I kinda wish they were doing is the soft wrist rests that Razer is doing for all of their high end boards, but even that doesn't take away from this keyboard being perfect in my eyes.
I have owned many keyboards and the closest I’ve found to the best low profile keyboard is the Tesoro Gram Spectrum. What holds that keyboard back is it’s windows only software and no volume wheel. Other than that it’s been my personal favorite. Why is it missing from this review?
Good review as always. HOWEVER, I don't agree with the idea that the "perfect" Low Profile keyboard does not exist. A more accurate statement would be that the "perfect" KEYBOARD does not exist. I recently purchased the Corsair K70 M.2 and the K70 M.2 Low Profile with it in mind that I would use them both on an ongoing basis. I paid roughly $140 for each of them. I Ended up liking the M.2 Low Profile with the Cherry Silver switches so much that I returned the regular K70 M.2 (although I really liked that one as well!). The M.2 switches are sensitive but it just takes some getting used to. and overall I REALLY appreciate how the keyboard feels to use for gaming and daily typing. It as perfect as perfect gets for me!
I've been looking for a low profile mechanical keyboard. The convenience problem I'm trying to solve is being able to rest my wrist lower to the table. With a normal mechanical keyboard, the optimal hand positioning is slightly raised, which can get tiresome. I like the satisfaction of mech keyboard, but they require a lot of attention than effort than a regular low profile keyboard.
I've been trying to find the best low profile, silent butterfly keyboard with a numpad... still no luck... just the Cougar Vantar, but it's too ghetto with it's RGB lighting around the frame.
I bought the Tesoro gram spectrum per your review and after about a year it completely died on me. To me that was pretty close to perfect. Unfortunately, They refuse to replace it and instead only offered me 10$ off a new one...:[ how I miss it.
I mainly used the super flat HP keyboards over the years and learned to love them. Even these still feel too tall for me. I know I’m the odd one out here because I also can’t live without a numpad on my keyboards.
I learned how to type on a low profile keyboard, I tried switching to a mechanical keyboard and it sucked, it's just a lot more work to move my fingers around and fatigue sets in really fast
Same lol
Ha gae

arent low profile keyboards still mechanical keyboards?
The reason I like low profile is I don’t have to angle my hands so much. After a few hours of typing it gets exhausting and painful.
very true, same happened to me
Just get some o'rings, way better and cheaper solution.
While it’s not mechanical, the Apple bluetooth keyboard has this advantage
Cpt. Buli how to o-rings change anything about keyboard angle? They are just sound dampeners and they don’t reduce the travel by that much compared to regular switches without o rings.
That is precisely why I to am interested in these.
Amazing transition between keyboards
yea how is it done? its so coool

Thank you so much for this video!!
I've been looking for a proper n-key-rollover low-profile keyboard-guide forever!!
I absolutely love the shape of the keys in that GL Linear red, reminds me of old 1980's laptops, which I always found really comfortable to type in
I have used the g915 and thought it was an ok experience, but thought they might be a little too thin, similar to a laptop experience. I currently have the corsair k55 and am thinking of upgrading to the k70 low profile. Would this be a medium between low profile and not feeling too thin?

Any update on the delay/lag from the wheel on the Logitec keyboard?

I like the "enter change board" effect
Hello! thanks for the review. you helped me. I choose between g915 and vulcan 120. chose vulcan in white and mouse kain 200 white. g915 the only wireless .it's a pity! I am waiting wireless mechanical white keyboard no bluetooth
Why did you include the Gram Mx One and not the normal Tesoro Gram? The normal one comes with shorter key caps to match the frame and the blue switch version especially is extremely satisfying.
whats the advantage of slim keyboards?
The Havit low profile keyboard is what I use. Definitely worth looking at considering it is cheap, uses low profile kailh blue switches, and has lasted me 2 years at this point.
there's a red switch version also
I have a Havit HV KB390 L TKL board witch I consider the best keyboard I've ever used for gaming. The blue switches are great. Havit discontinued the design for reasons I have no clue. My back up is a ReDragon K621 RGB TKL. Which isn't bad but is a tad bit stiffer on the key stroke.
Are there any low profile wireless keyboards that actually work? (No latency nor Bluetooth connection problems.)
Check out the Redragon Shrapnel keyboard.
I enjoy it and have no complaints.
Good low budget mechanical keyboard with low profile full rgb red switches.
I've always had a lot of respect for your videos, simple things like a product being too expensive being a factor to not recommend some products. Many reviewers will say there is a best product of a certain category, and reccomend such products but dont consider that the expensive price for what your getting may be too high to justify
"not supposed to minimize the footprint"
Please check out the Drevo joyuse. Wireless, mechanical, low profile and still has a numpad withput being massive. Obviously has some layout compromises, but are they bad enough to not buy it?
The only reason I dont own one, is it is only available in US layout... 😐
I really want to love my G815 but the keys seem smaller than I'm used to......and I often accidentally tap one of the G keys next to the ctrl button. What I really want is something like the sk630 or other low pro mech keyboard but with the individual media buttons rwd/ff/play sound on/off.
I would love the G815 or 915 but they are just to big. I already have issues with my Logitech right now when my mouse is hitting the side.
well, i used a cherry mx stream and now a logitech iluminated. so when i hear "low profile" and see those, it doenst really fit. i wish there was a keyboard as flat as those with mechanical silent key.
Why hasn't anyone made a silent, low profile? I'd pay $400-700 for some low profile ZILENT V2 tactile switches in a 75% form factor. But that'll never exist.
Finally a reviewer who mentions the most important factor in choosing a low profile. Ergonomics.
I have used 3 different mech keyboards in the past and while I liked them for the feedback and feel they provide while typing my wrist would start hurting and the movement would lock up. It would be made even worse if I was to raise the feet. I failed to find large sized semi soft keyboard rests.
I am using microsoft surface and apple magic keyboard. Both give me absolutely no pain in the wrist even though I spend 8h a day using them.
Lets hope one day we get a bluetooth TKL low profile keyboard with tactile feel and regular sized arrow keys.
can you review the MSI low profile keyboard?
I use the K70 Low Profile with MX Speed switches and absolutely love it. I'm coming from a Strafe RGB that I used for years and I feel like this is one of the best upgrades I have ever made to my set up. If it broke tomorrow I would be buying another one immediately. It's the most comfortable keyboard I have ever typed on, and I really believe that Corsair is killing the game with aesthetics on all of their peripherals. The only thing I kinda wish they were doing is the soft wrist rests that Razer is doing for all of their high end boards, but even that doesn't take away from this keyboard being perfect in my eyes.
I have owned many keyboards and the closest I’ve found to the best low profile keyboard is the Tesoro Gram Spectrum. What holds that keyboard back is it’s windows only software and no volume wheel. Other than that it’s been my personal favorite. Why is it missing from this review?
Good review as always. HOWEVER, I don't agree with the idea that the "perfect" Low Profile keyboard does not exist. A more accurate statement would be that the "perfect" KEYBOARD does not exist. I recently purchased the Corsair K70 M.2 and the K70 M.2 Low Profile with it in mind that I would use them both on an ongoing basis. I paid roughly $140 for each of them. I Ended up liking the M.2 Low Profile with the Cherry Silver switches so much that I returned the regular K70 M.2 (although I really liked that one as well!). The M.2 switches are sensitive but it just takes some getting used to. and overall I REALLY appreciate how the keyboard feels to use for gaming and daily typing. It as perfect as perfect gets for me!
I've been looking for a low profile mechanical keyboard. The convenience problem I'm trying to solve is being able to rest my wrist lower to the table. With a normal mechanical keyboard, the optimal hand positioning is slightly raised, which can get tiresome. I like the satisfaction of mech keyboard, but they require a lot of attention than effort than a regular low profile keyboard.
which one is @ 5:22 ?
Where would I find a keyboard that has low keys? I can’t find the term used to describe when the actual keys aren’t like 1cm thick but like 2mm
low profile.
I've been trying to find the best low profile, silent butterfly keyboard with a numpad... still no luck... just the Cougar Vantar, but it's too ghetto with it's RGB lighting around the frame.
Legit waited 2 days for this VID !!
have you tried new Alienware 510K?
This guy gets it. I commented the same. This board is the BEST!
is worth CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 SE for $120 ?
what about Keychron K1,K3,K7?
I bought the Tesoro gram spectrum per your review and after about a year it completely died on me. To me that was pretty close to perfect. Unfortunately, They refuse to replace it and instead only offered me 10$ off a new one...:[ how I miss it.
I wonder if people had already begun to produce coloful low profile keycaps, i really want to custom one for myself in the future.
The sharkoon purewriter is awesome!!!
2 years left and we still don't have a near perfect true low profile gaming keyboard. Zero options except G815 / G915
Even the new logikeks aren't truely low profile. Bring back a revised version of logi ultrax flat, with a NKRO, sigh one can only hope.
I mainly used the super flat HP keyboards over the years and learned to love them. Even these still feel too tall for me. I know I’m the odd one out here because I also can’t live without a numpad on my keyboards.
Looking forward to a Hexgears X-1 review.
