Thank you very much for the awesome review, Andrew! We'll eventually release an updated UHK version featuring PBT keycaps, hotswap sockets, per-key RGB backlighting and USB-C. No ETA yet, but feel free to subscribe to our monthly newsletter at the bottom of our site, and we'll keep you updated.
I would love to see an ortholinear UHK, sort of like the Atreus. Not caring about keycaps or lights... the whole point of a good keyboard is that you DON'T have to look at it!
I really wanted to like the trackpoint because it would in theory at least mean that you never had to leave the home row. It just wasn't as functional as a trackpad, mouse or trackball though.
They can add more modules anytime they want, personally though, I think I'd be a waste when you could just use a layer and get used to that Another problem is how the clusters work, because I found it weird they only used 3 keys in the current cluster, so maybe theres a limitation with how many keys they can have
I personally wanted a key cluster for dedicated Brazilian layout specific keys like Ç and dead tilde. Currently using AltGr and Fn on my Anne Pro 2 but it's still too cumbersome
From my experience, you get used to it really quickly. I have my capslock key acting as a function key since I almost never use it, and my IJKL keys are arrow keys on the fn layer
initially i also thought they weren't, (since they're both '"tae" and all) and i always wondered why the voice is softer on tae keyboards, and that he never shows his face on this channel, maybe just his style idk shame to admit it took me a loong while to realize the truth, guess i wasnt the brightest one
At first i thought taekeyboards is copying taeha types, but then I checked seems like hes been around for long time now also, but then I thought why is the name kinda similar?. and then I thought "tae* is shit in filipino language, why tae?,I checked their channel seems like taeha types is being paid by assembling keyboards,which make him more richer, but tae keyboard is not paid, but do hands on builds as well..
This here is the mentality of every keyboard enthusiast. We try to justify every single purchase, even though we know just one or 2 keyboards are enough LOL
I wish they made a version without switches and keycaps. Probably gonna swap them for PBT + Kailh Box anyway, that is if I could afford the keyboard to start with LOL
Wow, I've been following this thing since they announced it sometime in 2015. I'm glad they didn't go under but it's disappointing they don't have the peripherals yet.
Is it possible to make a custom one similar to this one? I loved the split and the tilting, but its too expensive, specially if you consider changing the switches and the keycaps.
I like these but the modules on the right side should really be placed higher up to use track point, trackball, etc with index finger rather than thumb
Imo, at this price I'd get a fully custom keyboard, you can get the pair of pcb for 20 bucks, case for another 30, plated zinc keys for 100, 30 for the switches, and an atsamd arduino board for the controler, which is yet again 30 bucks, total 210, that's cheaper than that, and can have more functionality (for example, adding an lcd and joystick is fairly trivial).
Is the tenting angle you show on the video is max height? Hopefully no because its too low. The hand needs to be at least in 45 angle for a keyboard to be ergonomic.
I honestly was going to joke and make fun of the “hacking” keyboard, but it’s just honestly pretty solid. The lack of arrow keys might be slightly annoying if I want to just move through my script, but it’s not a killer because you could just make a function key and make the wasd your arrow keys. I think I might make something similar to this though since I would want a slightly different layout.
Hmm, I like the idea of the Macro recording, but I haven't really understood yet why I'd want to have a keyboard with less keys rather than extra keys.
Wait... Why did they split the left shift when that key is normally on the right side? It's not like it was removed from the right side or anything so why would they split the left shift to put the |\ key there?
These split keyboards look real comfortable but unfortunately I have a weird way of typing of placing my left hand on WASD like a fps game, which does mean that I don't need a right shift key in the correct spot when it comes to laptops etc., but the problem is I always type B with my right hand. Of course I could go for macro keys on the right side of this keyboard and bind it to B but that would mean that I have to give up the mouse pointer control. So my question is, are there any split boards with mouse cursor control out there where I can put the B key on the right side? (don't want the hassle of building one myself)
You said that you don’t use Caps Lock, so my question is do you use the right shift? Since I don’t use caps lock either but somehow I never use right shift
the question is whether you would want to be an ultimate hacker or a happy hacker
Lemme just smash my hhkb into two and be neither
I want to be happy

I'm really excited to see more properly designed split keyboards. This company seems to be doing it right, along with Mistel (for their budget)

The ultimate hacking keyboard was a plant all along
Hacking photosynthesis.
Think it was a tor joke.
I love it when a company is all about providing info with repair and modding.
"Im more of a trackpoint person myself"
Where is the double-like button? :D
Oh, dont need it anymore - "im a caps lock user"

I really wanted to like the trackpoint because it would in theory at least mean that you never had to leave the home row. It just wasn't as functional as a trackpad, mouse or trackball though.
I think they missed a big opportunity by not making an arrow cluster module...some of us really like our arrow keys.
imagine reaching for arrow keys. not a hacker.
They can add more modules anytime they want, personally though, I think I'd be a waste when you could just use a layer and get used to that

I'd rather just use a layer that turns jkl; into arrows like VIM cursor controls on Linux.
Tae keyboards and teaha types are different people
Apparently
They definitely are LOL

I’m not clever enough for these replys
Maybe a whole other mech would cost $60, but so do most mice, so it makes sense a proprietary one would too.
This here is the mentality of every keyboard enthusiast. We try to justify every single purchase, even though we know just one or 2 keyboards are enough LOL
So we're not going to talk about the how great the adorable ceramic sloth is?
Please make a video on the keyswitch swapping and soldering of the LEDs.
I didn't think I needed one of these until I saw the trackpoint module.
Imagine spending $275+ on a keyboard and getting cheap laser etched keycaps.
Right?? And an additional $60 for fucking arrow keys. Unbelievable.
So close, but they dropped the ball on that one lol.
I wish they made a version without switches and keycaps. Probably gonna swap them for PBT + Kailh Box anyway, that is if I could afford the keyboard to start with LOL
Hotswap pcb and they've got my money

Tae do be kinda playing wii sports resort at the end

Splitting keyboards is the ideal for tall and long arm people like me, I'm tired of doing the crab to type, need to give them a serious shot.
will you review the extensions when they release? i'm very interested in them

Those key caps looks kinda nice
Oh damn this look really nice! Thanks for the great review.
nice review and refreshing keyboard design.
Heavy mouse clicks? That sounds cool.
hacking deez nuts
I only want this for the split space layout and how fancy it looks compared to kbdfans stuff
This is a good video no matter where you are on your journey, from beginning to maintenance.
nice fielding placement.
all out
i hate how all these split boards have B on the left side lol. Can't do it
Tae back at it with the aesthetic content.
when I saw the plant at the start I thought this was an old april fools video
times are tough, I have built an intimate relationship with my plant.
it would really look nice on a 90's nostaalgic setup
Love your vids, keep doing what you do.
thanks mate!
Is it possible to make a custom one similar to this one? I loved the split and the tilting, but its too expensive, specially if you consider changing the switches and the keycaps.
love your videos, tae! :D
The thumbnail looks like my keyboard after dealing with Windows 10. 🤔
I like these but the modules on the right side should really be placed higher up to use track point, trackball, etc with index finger rather than thumb
oh wow love these split boards very niche but so rad to bit modular sweet!
hope you & yours are good m8
Very sleek

What's up with all the cute pets overlay on the end of the video??? 😂
they are cute
Aweome thanks! Been looking for a split mech keyboard :)
If its possible could you make a video on how to make a mechanical keyboard from parts obtained from a bunch of old mechanical and wireless keyboard.
This looks like something I'm looking for! Thanks!
How many more days of isolation before you go crazy and eat that plant 👀

You should make a video on your collection and show off every keyboard u have made
Okay... I’m buying this ASAP
Imo, at this price I'd get a fully custom keyboard, you can get the pair of pcb for 20 bucks, case for another 30, plated zinc keys for 100, 30 for the switches, and an atsamd arduino board for the controler, which is yet again 30 bucks, total 210, that's cheaper than that, and can have more functionality (for example, adding an lcd and joystick is fairly trivial).
I am still rocking like a 5 dollar cheapo half broken keyboard and then he is just out here getting all my fav keyboards mad flexing on me
another awesome video. thanks!
Is the tenting angle you show on the video is max height? Hopefully no because its too low. The hand needs to be at least in 45 angle for a keyboard to be ergonomic.
they should also add a module for numpad
I would get an extra macro key module to use as a "sudo/doas" key
Man I legit have been up All night. It’s now 6am in Australia. I got a 65% tofu kbdfans case and I haven’t been able to find a pcb that is hotswaped
Me looking at the price tag :o

It got some serious ping when typing on it
Hmm, I like the idea of the Macro recording, but I haven't really understood yet why I'd want to have a keyboard with less keys rather than extra keys.
nice catch!
So basically you get a KB that you can split in two, so you can add modules, that aren't commercially available yet? Oh.... neat....

May you review Dygma keyboard?
Interesting layout, anyone know of a 75 % or below, mx hotswap split pcb and case?
Wait... Why did they split the left shift when that key is normally on the right side? It's not like it was removed from the right side or anything so why would they split the left shift to put the |\ key there?

too bad it's not 64% layout. i need the arrow keys. hehehe

Like, what do you even use caps lock for....?
Why is it a "Hacking" KB?
uhk + arch linux = power to exit vim
They need a left handers option even if limited production due to the lower number of lefties like me in the world
Love the keyboard
Say where can you get an acoustic pinboard online and possibly in a small size if they exist?
What switches do you wish you'd gotten?
You said that you don’t use Caps Lock, so my question is do you use the right shift? Since I don’t use caps lock either but somehow I never use right shift

Right shift for left side keystrokes, left shift for right hand side keystrokes.
@@heretolevitateme it takes too much time to find shift for me XD
10:34 Nice choice on the speakers, are those eris 3.5's or 4.5's?
If it had true iso layout I would have bought it straight up. Also now it doesn't support normal keycaps
