      i have two ideas on cheap plastic keyboard mods.
      first one: filling the case with plumbers putty. it never dry's. or use drumming putty pads/silly putty its made to hit with sticks and not make loud sounds so it would likely sound pretty good.
      the second idea is using automotive spray in bed liner. its a thick rubberized coating that can withstand bomb blasts. so it would likely work really well as a sound deadener since vibrations do not pass through it. (look up bed liner mythbusters)
      would love to see the worst most resonate cheapest pos board you know of modded in a number of ways to see what sounds the best. (bed liner would have to be last since its pretty permanent)

      Kind of subjective. There's way too many variables and things to alter with a keyboard to make it sound better or worse. Likely just a bad combo he used given how the keyboard is designed. The Durock Sea Salt switches are also horrible and do not sound good at all either.

    • @theSato
      @theSato 9 месяцев назад +3

      personally I don't really agree, I think the Razer's orange switches are just the perfect switch and feel and sound nicer to my ears. I also really like the side-RGB, the volume roller/2 buttons (as opposed to just 1 knob), and the software is way nicer than Corsair's for the RGB.
      The only place the Razer loses, IMO, is the key layout -- not having a gap between the arrow keys and everything else takes some major getting used to. This Corsair board does 75% layout right.
      But, as always, 'which one is better' is almost entirely subjective.
      The only things that aren't subjective are scientifically measurable, objective black&white good&bad things (durability, switch latency, etc.)

    I went to BestBuy and this was actually the best feeling keyboard out of all of them there, that's why I bought it. I've never owned a Corsair keyboard so I'm surprised in the video he says that Corsair isn't capable of making a good gaming keyboard. It's a really good keyboard. So accurate and smooth in the typing. It's really solid feeling and the keys hardly have any wiggle to them. Most enjoyable typing experience out of all keyboards I've owned. It's definitely in the upper bracket of keyboards and BestBuy has it on sale for 130 right now which puts it closer to the mid-tier keyboards. So if you want a high end keyboard for a good price, It'd be this one.

      Same actually. I was surprised for a moment after testing all the boards because I wasn't even aware they made keyboards. But I've found it to be a really solid board. My only real complaint is that it sometimes eats keypresses when waking up on wireless, but I can live with that.

    It's nice to see gaming keyboards slowly moving into the "at least acceptable" range. The value isn't there, and probably never will be, but it sure beats hardwired cables, terrible to open cases, and all the other crap, even from a repairability standpoint.
    Regarding northfacing LEDs, as far as I'm concerned, either go northfacing or don't bother. If you do care about RGB, and if you're buying a gaming keeb, you probably do, southfacing is terrible, because it doesn't work well with 99% of shine-through keycaps, and if you don't care, then having LEDs doesn't really matter at all.

    • @TurboPhantomOG
      @TurboPhantomOG 11 месяцев назад +2

      @@JustMehChannel in a way they already exist. There are Womier XVX keycaps with side printed legends, but most people probably want to legend on top. In theory all that needs to be done is to move the legend a little bit lower. I suspect there is simply little demand for this.

    • @Monique-iz8lp
      @Monique-iz8lp 11 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@JustMehChannel I think it's mostly a demand issue. Southfacing LEDs are pretty much exclusively used in the enthusiast market, where the worse RGB isn't much of a concern, and so the demand for shinethrough is quite low. On the flipside, shine through keycaps are primarily a gamer thing. Until the last year or two, there wasn't really much overlap between the two as gamer keebs weren't really customizable.
      That, and for anything doubleshot, you'd probably need entirely new molds, because you'd need to reposition the legend to the bottom of the keycap somewhere, which would definitely get expensive.

    unpopular opinion here but I think north facing LED's look better, no bright spot at the bottom of the spacebar.

    • @Honneylemz
      @Honneylemz 9 месяцев назад +6

      It's not unpopular. North facing sockets are just better looking in general and allows rgb to shine through the legends of the keycaps. The reason custom keyboard community prefers south facing is because of potential interference with cherry profile keycaps which is deemed as the better style of keycaps by the community so having north facing sockets mean that you're gonna be limited on the types of keycaps and/or switches you put on. Plus more premium keycaps don't even have shine through legends anyways and enthusiast don't really use rgb on their builds so the community just preferred having the compatibility of south facing sockets than rbg that they might not even be using.

    As someone new to customizing keyboards, I saw this keyboard announced and was really looking forward to your review! I like using iCue as I've mostly used a Corsair keyboard on this setup... And this keyboard improves on the parts I didn't like about it! I know you can get cheaper keyboards with great features, but having a really good lighting setup is important for me as I do most of my typing/gaming at night. So, I'm glad they have the north facing lights since I would probably put my shine through keycaps on it.

    North vs South switches is a PITA. We need the north for Shine through, for gaming in a dark room - its a NEEDED function. If they are south, there are some side-see-through keycaps that look nice. But nobody makes XDA, MDA, CSA, DSA or other SA variants that are shine-through. We could REALLY use that! Have the comfort of of spherical caps with shine through legends.
    Only see through XDA I see are pudding or low-profile.
    Without the shine through, the keycaps just turn into black squares in a very dark room.

    Great review. I do love custom keyboards but I hate south facing RGB. Every comment I've seen here seems to agree. North-facing has a purpose. South-facing is mostly pretty lights. I like being able to see the keycap legends if i want to dim the room lights. I've looked and there are few if any good options for south-facing RGB. I've one of the newer corsair K70 keyboards and it's actually pretty good, though pricy. Double-shot keycaps, foam, Aluminum frame (plastic bottom).. Not gasket mounted, but it sounds good and feels good typing on it.

It finally died this year. And the prices on all the gaming keyboards being insanely overpriced for what they offered. I started researching alternatives and that is how I ended up here watching your channel. And ultimately built my first keyboard. Though coming as a gamer that didn't know much about keyboards prior to this year, I would have easily bought something like this keyboard if it was an option at the time. I kind of expect gamer keyboards to have a price mark up especially from the big name brands.

    I don't agree. Corsair at least supports every single layout on the planet, contrary to "custom" keyboards, which offer billions of options on 2 total layouts. Custom keyboards are a pretty much US only market. Not to mention the premium warranty: Corsair has NEVER left me alone when I needed some sort of assistance, contrary to other manufacturers. For me, those "extra" 60 dollars are justified.

    I think you should make a "I compared all the big gaming keyboards so you dont have to" video. It'd almost definitely perform REALLY well in the algorithm.
    You could start out by comparing the biggest names' best keyboards (razer, rog, corsair etc) -- and then go on to cover the Wooting (and any personal nongamer favorites with OK RGB) , to help bring awareness about it to the mainstream gamers that click over.
    also: congrats on hitting 1 million subs

    Mine didn’t sound like that at all, felt terrible and pingy and lost connection frequently.

Everything else runs iCue, we’ve had our issues but it’s gotten to a solid state!

    i just changed to changed to brown gateron switches and i love the sound but i am hearing some kind of a high "ding" sound on some key when i let them spring back up. also all the key that have extra stabilizers sound really bad.

    This is an excellent review overall. Still, I think you are missing something here. On the wireless implementation, minor improvements in latency, reliability and convivence can be worth a premium. Corsair slipstream is one of the best 2.4Ghz wireless implementations on the market, its ultra-low latency (critical for competitive gaming), it's reliable and stable, and it allows you to use multiple Corsair devices on a single USB receiver. $160 - I'd say it's actually value for money when you consider that they actually put all of that into a grown-up keyboard that doesn't suck to type on, it's a grown-up gamer wireless keyboard. The only reason Corsair didn't try to squeeze more out of it is because they don't quite have the market goodwill of Logitech and Razer after a few years of pretty uninspiring product in the PC peripheral space. This should be a hit.

    been seeing this for a long time and it honestly just blows my mind, surely using a polycarbonate or polypropylene plate (same plastic as a lot of tupperware) would be both cheaper and sound better to most people buying these keyboards, and it would give a softer bottom out. I don’t know if there’s some assumption that the weight gain or rigidity from steel plates is more premium, but we should let that die in my opinion.

    @hipyo, I was going to ask if the Epomaker manufactured their own keyboards to suggest a reason for the price difference, but Corsair's is pretty much a clone of other keyboards out there. You'd think that would cut back on some of the Non-recoverable expenses like the tooling used for the plates, and other parts.

    • @Asparagaceae
      @Asparagaceae 11 месяцев назад +2

      Cherry profile keycaps were designed to fit on south-facing switches.
      When you have north-facing LEDs, that usually means the switches need to be inserted upside-down.
      This could cause interference because the roof of the keycap prematurely hits the top of the switch housing before the switch can fully bottom out.

    I love this keyboard except for the keycaps. If this was a gaming keyboard, don't you think that most of gamers would be playing in a fairly dark environment? Why isn't there backlit keycaps? It's hard to see the character on the keycap with the backlight on especially the ones with the shortcuts printed on the keycap. I've looked into replacing the keycap for the backlit one but there are some non-standard sized keys such as ALT FN CTRL on the right side of the keyboard.

    • @devincurrie4145
      @devincurrie4145 8 месяцев назад +1

      I had this keyboard for a few weeks now so can share my experience.
      I have replaced the keycaps using Corsair keycaps mod kit (Elgato Blue) and it works well except for these five keycaps - Right Alt, FN, Right Ctrl, Right Shift, and Delete. The light grey on blue keycaps makes it hard to see to the letter without the backlight on. The Delete keycap on the back row is deeper so need a higher profile keycaps, which the mod kit doesn't have. Also note that chaning out the stock keycaps for the mod keycaps means losing visual printout showing the additional function that the same key (e.g. pressing FN+O will give you access to Scroll Lock) can do when pairing with the FN key. You'll need to come up with your own reference chart to remember where these function keys are.
      The red MX switches that came with the keyboard felt a bit too soft for my taste so would prefer to try a different set of switch.
      This keyboard support wired, USB wireless, and multi-device Bluetooth up to three devices is awesome.
      Switching out
      I often use the dial at the top right corner to turn on the backlight and for adjusting the backlight brightness. All-in-all I think this keyboard is a 85/100 except for a few things noted above.
