    I actually built my own keyboard a few years ago (custom self lubed switches, custom self lubed stabalizers, custom keycaps, the whole 9 yards).
    Absolutely not worth it for 99% of people, but if you're someone who likes to express themselves with their tech (custom PCs, desk setups; that kind of thing) it was actually a fun experience.

    Hey Brad! Some feeback in case you’re planning on making more keyboard related videos:
    Separate your voice over from the clips of the keyboard sounds. The viewers can distinguish the sounds better, and at the same time not get overwhelmed/overstimulated by both you talking and the keyboards clacking.

    Time warp time, one of my first computer projects was to make a re-programable/reconfigurable keyboard from an old IBM teletype keypad, 45 years ago. What a great action/feel it had. Thanks.

    I don’t know if you can call this a Beginner’s Guide. But it’s definitely a good Beginner friendly list of entry level mechanical keyboard, I bought the Royalaxe one after watching this video and I’m loving it. Can’t believe i was able to get it for less than 40 and that is basically feels like any other 90-150 mechanical keyboard with no compromises, if you’re willing to use a 68 keys keyboard, I Can’t recommend it enough, it feels great (and it has room for being upgraded by replacing switches, crazy).

    Topre Realforce keyboards are, by far, my favorite. My daily driver is a realforce TKL 55g weighted. My secondary (and often favorite - I used to use this exclusively at my office) is a Leopold topre keyboard (FC660C). Absolutely love it. Plus it's 45g weighted.
    But, for the average person I'd suggest getting a Das Keyboard. Good, reliable, should last forever. Good rollover key recognition. Back lighting, has optional doubleshot keys. Very happy with it, but it's also full size. I use this for gaming so I can turn off the lights and use backlighting. It also has optional USB ports for extra functionality, plus a volume knob. I find I actually use all of this when gaming.
    Yeah... I got too into keyboards. But I get too into everything I look into. *sigh*
    Now, if only I could find the perfect laptop with drawing capability...

    How timely! I've had my trusty - but delicate - low-profile Logitech keyboard for about five years now, and I've noticed some of the keys have started to misfire. (This can be PARTICULARLY frustrating with passwords!) Time to shop for a new, longer-lasting keyboard. Thanks for the tips!

I have felt exactly like this, and it's nice to see a few brief reviews/ comments about the issues I am struggling with from someone who has just gone through the same issue as I have been going through. You might even have saved me some money, as I might be able to skip a couple of steps in my journey to the "perfect" keyboard.

    Around 7:40 ish we can hear you breathe into the mic. Must've been from the track of you recording the key sounds. You might've missed it or it might be because you were trying to increase the volume of the switches. Anyways, just wanted to bring it to your attention.
    Great video as always! Learnt a lot from this.

    to pry out the last piece stuck in the usb port, have you tried a very sharp and thin blade inside the usb, press the point into and use it to drag up and out, it's a common tactic to move around parts inside of locks when picking, and I feel like it could work here, just be sure not to cut through the usb and into the actual port, then once you have it out enough regular pliers should do the trick the rest of the way

    The lack of more diverse low profile keyboards is a big reason for why I won’t take the plunge. I’m not gonna spend my hard earned money on the taller keyboards when I just don’t like them. When the novelty wears off, I need something that feels good to use. All respect to hobbyists that love experimenting with keyboards, but I don’t have that luxury

  • @lorensims4846
    @lorensims4846 10 месяцев назад

    I originally learned to type on a manual typewriter. I now use a MacBook Air, and while it does have a very nice built-in keyboard, I would appreciate a bit more key travel and a tactile click. Sound or looks don't really matter to me, but I don't think I want anything particularly flashy.

    Interesting video -- glad you found a good fit for you. There are so many options for keyboards out there! Me and my wife do a lot of video conferencing since we both work from home, so the last thing that we want is a noisy keyboard. I had an old iMac full keyboard (wired) which my wife now uses and loves -- very silent. For myself, I bought a Logi MX keys keyboard that is very quiet, backlit, wireless, and supports up to 3 different computer. I personally love it. Haven't look at having custom keys on it ...

    I'm using a Keeb IO sinc split keyboard. The price is expensive, especially prebuilt, but it works relatively well for art needs. I did have to buy a longer USB-c to bridge the two halves but it might be worth a shot if you plan to do more videos and experiment with mechanical keyboards.

  • @niveketihw1897

    I have a Utech Mercury RGB and love it. It's a beast -- full size and with an additional skirt on each edge. All metal. I have customized the color per key -- white for the letters, green for the numbers and the keypad, blue for things like Shift, Tab, Enter, End, and the arrows, and red for ESC and the F keys. Love this thing. Definitely has that heft, great sound, great feel, and that "chonk" as mentioned in the vid.

    I bought the K7 Pro for my home setup, and the a month later the K3 Pro for work. I got the K3 Pro V2 first, by mistake, but the optical switches and the new look was just off. Thankfully, I found the K3 Pro v1, which is like a smaller K7, and I haven't looked back since. I love the low profile with brown switches, and I wish you could get laptops with that sort of keyboard built in.

    Ah yes, mechanical keyboards. Once you have a good one, its very hard to go back to membrane keyboards. I have a keychron k4 with blue switches (i like the clickety claks ok) and its a 100% keyboard BUT its a compact design. Definitely takes some getting used to (i still fumble at times) but the extra deskspace without compromising the number of keys is worth it.

  • @rohitkhanna9620
    @rohitkhanna9620 10 месяцев назад +2

    A few decades back people threw away their IBM mechanical keyboards for being ugly and heavy whatever bells and whistles you might be talking about mechanical keyboards is all about the tactile spring and click sound. Nothing beats IBM keyboards anything close I found was TVS gold keyboards. Yes they are ugly black/white bulky they have no LEDs but they are very a pleasure to use. They remind me of the thinkpad keyboards which were phased out in favor of apple oranges type crap.

    I have one of those compact yet fully keyed (with arrows and numpad and all) keychron, and while I like the feel, I found myself having to constantly look down to find keys as they weren't spaced out like on an old school full sized keyboard. So now I switched to a cheaper but more traditionally laid out Logitech board. I'll look out for a keychron as I did prefer their switches... But I just cannot justify sacrificing the ease if funding keys by feel alone.

    When I look at all these keyboards and the ludicrous prices of them I think back to the days when you used to get a PS2 connected Dell Cherry keyboard (AT101W or AT102W) when you bought a PC.

  • @TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken
    @TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken 7 месяцев назад

    Very good video! You do a great job of explaining how one can get sucked into the custom keyboard world. My first mechanical keyboard was a ¨gaming¨ keyboard. You know, one of those full size, all black boards with clickly blue switches and tons of RGB. I used it for 5 years thinking that gaming keyboards were the only mechanical keyboards until I saw a few tech RUclipsrs taking about ¨custom¨ mechanical keyboards.
    At first I thought it was strange that there were TKLs, 75%, 65% boards and the like. I was so used to my 100% gaming keyboard that using something smaller made no sense to me. The more videos I saw, I realized that there were so many different switches, plates, keycaps, color combinations and so on. So when the switches on my non-hotswap gaming keyboard started failing after 5 years, I decided to get a custom hotswap board that I could build myself. I was a noob to the hobbie so I got a GMK67 barebone kit (a 65% board, my favorite size now) so start out and learn. I really liked how it turned out and that´s when I fell into the rabbit hole. I now have built 10 custom boards. Some plastic and some aluminum. I have an 11th one on the way LOL.
    Once you go custom, you´ll never go back a normal pre-built boards!

    I cant decideeeeee! I want an 1800 layout keyboard!! I think!!???
    Leaning towards tactile, but curious about linear, i want an office friendly/gaming setup, i would love shine thru caps, but not a deal breaker, over all I want quality! If im convinced something ticks all the boxes, i think ill spend around 200 bucks. Maybe, I should just buy smtn cheap to at least learn my switch preference. Ive been in the rabbit hole for a week, and have yet to buy anything. The more I search, the more I learn, the more questions i have, the more options there are (or less), the further away i am from choosing something!!! Ahhhh!!!! (Scream fades away into rabbit hole..)

    Welcome to the money drain :) It's a wonderful hobby but very addictive when you start wanting to have multiple keyboards that all sound, look and feel a little different... you realize that PBT keycaps sound much different from ABS so you decide on your first set of GMK... they boards become not something to just type on but an artistic expression of your creativity much like music or painting.

    Question are you still in the market with keyboard reviews and if not will you take on a challenge request on a keyboard that no1 in youtube reviewed? The keyboard is called redthunder k95 wireless mechanical listed on Amazon for $89. I have asked other youtubers that do keyboard reviews and they haven't replied to my comment so i hope you can be the 1 to reply and hopefully take the request review to this keyboard.

      It's funny, after this video went up the most common email I get is from Keyboard makers. I'm just flooded with keyboard review requests. I bet others are too. It's impossible to cover them all, especially on a channel where it's not my main focus.

      @thebradcolbow i understand i just see no one with this keyboard with a review and i do like the look of this keyboard but i just want to 1st see a review on if its worth getting and i understand if you dont do a review of this product since you did mention keyboard isn't what your page is focus on. I'm just glad you replied and explained yourself.
