thanks for the great vid, just wanted to point out that filiming the gateron optical switches transform them from a wobbly terrible switch to a very clean sounding and nice feeling one, as the main wobble is in the housing itself
"typewriters were invented in 1868, and since the rise of computers over the last century, keyboards have become an integral part of our lives. But that IS a keyboard? In this video I will..." Ikr, I'm so done with it
Honestly, imo tecware's in this one is the best TKL sized with perfectly tuned sound with awesome stabs, and sound compression. Definitely the best one in this list imo
@@KrutGemByte you probably got the tecware phantom 2020-2022 models, they're the only ones that come with outemus, that's why the switches pings for you since they're yk outemus. While for the phantom +s they (tecware) have their own set of customized prelubed ones, which doesn't have any pings at all, and on a same price tag as the old (2020-2022) models.
Do the tape mod (2-3 layers of blue painters tape on the back of the PCB) on the Ractous/Tezarre 61/63s and others like them. It's so quick and easy to do, just a couple keycaps and 6 little screws, and it makes a MASSIVE improvement to the sound. Putting the board on top of 1cm of closed cell foam or 2-3 small mousepads also can isolate the sound from resonating into your desk, and again massively improving the sound, making them feel like far more expensive boards.
+1 to this!! I recently impulse-bought a Pulsar keyboard for work when Amazon dropped the price, and it honestly sounded pretty crappy at first. I had some extra keycaps and switches that I brought in from home (white ASA profile Akko PBT keycaps and pre-lubed Akko Lavender Purple tactile switches), and my only other mod was opening it up and doing 2-3 layers of blue painter's tape on the PCB. After doing that, this thing sounds WAY better than the very few dollars I spent on it... to the point that I could maybe consider a few other mods down the line but honestly don't feel the need.
i personally think the royal kludge should be on this list it is a great keyboard, comes with foam, stabilizers are already pretty good and foam between the PCB and the plate, just buy putting good sounding switches in it, it can make it sound really good
I bought the Ractous with brown switches a while ago. I made hybrid switches with Feker Holy Pandas. You don't get quite the entire feel of an actual panda switch, but it is a noticeable upgrade if you like tactile. Also installed some case foam to knock out a little hollowness.
I bought the Reddragon K530 and replaced the switches with Akko Jelly Blacks because of you! Also modded it using your guide. This was my first mechanical keyboard that I modded and it was all possible because of your videos! ❤❤❤
Could you maybe do a straight up BEST keyboard right now, like no limitations whatsoever I just want to see the top 5 best ones. If you could I would love that
This is a cool channel, the only problem I have is that most of it is not available in the EU. It is a more TOP 2 for EU. Maybe you could make one for EU. That would be nice.
I love how you kept doing keyboards but didn’t make it the focus I do appreciate the information you have in subject on how it is informative, but overall variety great work
definitely going to check out one of these, previously was looking for a good budget headset when I stumbled upon your review of the redragon H10 Zeus and was sold got myself a pair so trust your advice on these too!
Dude, I kinda miss your mechanical keyboard video. It just feels right when a thumbnail of your video showing mechkeebs stuff popped up on my feed. Please make it more often. Understand that you want to diversify your contents. But, your keeb content is like a fresh air to the other creator in youtube tho as I think you're the only one who cover extensively prebuilds-in stock online marketplace stuffs (hence, the majority of consumers are) that usually left behind by other keyboard youtubers.
Can't recommend the Skyloong GK75 enough. I would go for the non-optical switch version myself (still under $100) but the build quality for the price can't be beat. It's insane. And the sound... so thocky and deep, if that's what you're going for. It just feels like butter. Like this review says, all the stabs come really well tuned; no pinging or rattle of any kind. Epomaker (Skyloong specifically) is king of budget boards. IMO
Hi there, im recently found you searching for budget mechanical keyboard and have a blast with the mods. Thanks in advance for the service you have been doing in pro the comunity. In latam there are not too many options in this starting point (I'm currently in Chile), so I was thinking to buy the GK75 (and is available right now). On the oher hand, found out that the Keychrone brand is well known and the starting point of the k2 (v1) is around +15$, you still recomend to purchase this one instead?. Great video!
is the k530 pro swappable with any switches, i bought silver switches but i forgot what brand, and i wanna know if i buy this keyboard i can use my silver switches
The GK75 is great I have this board with the glacier green switches theses are a tactile switch and have a greater bump that a brown for sure, I would say these have a bump more like an Akko blue . I did have to lube the springs of the switches though because it did have noticeable ping but luckily it was only the spring and not the leaf. The stem does come pre-lubed from the factory and is consistent.
Ye for the Ractous RTK61P to be £114 instead of '35' is a bit if a pain and even some of the other keybords not being in the region like the rk h81. So ye great vid..
Hey bro, you do gaming peripherals could you do some phone gaming peripherals like low latency budget buds, Gaming gloves, phone coolers, and even phones with real values
For the first one the link brought me to one that’s $63 and wireless. And the black option shown here does not have the switch options you mentioned. What is happening
I have a question about the number one spot, when i look on amazon it comes with that blue but there is pink keycaps on it, do they come with the same colored keycaps the one in your video? And does it come with the kit to remove the keycaps?
tbh tecware really change my mind on them, before this i want to buy keychron after test wraith pink boom just bought phantom + elite, love it tkl really is my choice. before this rk71 is my main keyboard with custom foam for pcb, bottom foam, tape ,tx stab, matcha green lubed. and that tecware + elte justr originally come as good or more good than my rk. truely nice
I decided to buy the number one keyboard but it ended up not working, the lights activate and the keys work when I tried to change the lights but my pc doesn’t react to the keys at all, even though it reacts to my other keyboard. Is this a problem with the keyboard or my settings on my pc?
I am still using my "Masione LED USB Gaming Keyboard" after 8 years. I am looking for a white color one as a better alternative. Any suggestion please?

@@KrutGemByte ahh alr
Yo the fashion is on point in this video. That shirt and necklace is FIRE.
Thanks!
Finally a budget keyboards video with keyboards that are actually budget under 40$
The keyboard rabbit hole. Once you get in, you can never get out.
Just wanted to say great job on getting straight to the point!
The reddragon k530 pro is a 10/10. Highly reccomend modding it with the flamingo switches ❤
I love that you skip right to the tier list, different than most tier lists.🥰
I bought some random keyboard of Amazon. This vid would have helped me so much
i love how he jumps right into from the start

This guy always provides with the best budget vids
The battlefield clips were so fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like how he got literally straight to the point of the video.
I don't know if you ever mentioned it, but what is your definition of a "gaming" keyboard vs "custom"?
Prob response time and maybe rgb
LOVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
love that the video starts right away instead of a long ass intro
Thank you for this review keep up the good work!
however i like you to review affordable gaming mouse tia!

@@freddyrodriguez8184 what ones did you get in the end
Does anyone have experiences with iceberg yellow switch? Are they better than the gateron ones?
@@heresjonny2294 did you buy this keyboard? if so, what switches did you get?

Love ur content bro pls keep posting this amazing stuff😊
You should do a review of RK M75. I got one and its very good for its price. Stabs are already tuned, no rattle, no ticking.
Thanks for not wasting time
number 1 looks amazing
12:14 bro got the off brand Aula f75 💀
black or chinese????
This is such a fire vid! TYSM for the links 🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks! do you have a video like this about mice?
I think I might try one of these
..
Where the heck is the GAS67?
I’m def getting the top 2 keyboards
the start completely cought me off guard bro just started talking about the keyboard 💀🙏
is the k530 pro swappable with any switches, i bought silver switches but i forgot what brand, and i wanna know if i buy this keyboard i can use my silver switches
The only person who actually knows what budget means
This channel is so clutch

"Short on moneys" 💀
I dont understand how the price is higher in the UK, Its $50 for you and £70 for me when the £ is worth more than the $, it makes no sense
Ye for the Ractous RTK61P to be £114 instead of '35' is a bit if a pain and even some of the other keybords not being in the region like the rk h81. So ye great vid..
@@MrJamesstott Exactly, i was thankful to get my rk68 for £47 brand new off amazon on discount instead of paying £80
number four got my heart
Love the shirt, get it somewhere online?
keychron v1 stock vs royal kludge rk h81 stock
which one should i buy?
love the content
Here for the sounds
i really need to know if the first keyboard is actually good for games where you really want fast and stable switches
Yeah number 3 stabs are better than normal but.. right left shift enter and back space all have ticking, space is good though
can u do like a top 5 beginner mechanical keyboards?
The H81 looks like a very old keyboard I used to have 1998 :D
Please do a full of tecware phantom+ ELITE. would appreciate it greatly!
Welcome back mate haha
Oh this guy is still underrated
why is the gm610 never in the top even though it is the best in its field?
Can u review the YUNZII yz75? I was thinking about buying it but i haven’t heard much about it
Literally looked up "budget mechanical keyboards" yesterday and had to watch an older video.
The tecware phantom have always been a great keyboard. Can you make a mod for that keyboard. I think its gonna be awesome
Hey bro, you do gaming peripherals could you do some phone gaming peripherals like low latency budget buds, Gaming gloves, phone coolers, and even phones with real values
I love your vids, but u really need to find brands that are widely available xD
For the first one the link brought me to one that’s $63 and wireless. And the black option shown here does not have the switch options you mentioned. What is happening
Red dragon k617 fizz is a beast
One question, would these keyboards work well on xbox series x?
the keyboard vids are back!!! ( :
I have a question about the number one spot, when i look on amazon it comes with that blue but there is pink keycaps on it, do they come with the same colored keycaps the one in your video? And does it come with the kit to remove the keycaps?
None of them are with numpad :(
why keyboards these days do not come with numpads ?
TYSM, if my mum lets me, i am definetly buying the epomaker gk75
i have grey switches and i think they are the best
You should try a flex seal tape mod
Thank you for this video I wanted a proper review for the new Tecware Phantom keyboards
They are just plain awesome, the most impressive new true budget keyboard I think I’ve used in quite a while!
Watch his old vids, the keyboard had been a long time champ. I bought it by his recommendation
@@muaazahmad4981 did he upload a video for the tecware phantom plus?
@@Orvi-xr2ok idk about the plus, but the base model's review exists

Please recommend the best budget aluminum 65% tri-mode keyboard. Thank you!
I thought you said you won’t do them anymore
Great Video, But I wanted to ask if the Epomaker GK75 has a hot swappable knob? Thanks.
tbh tecware really change my mind on them, before this i want to buy keychron after test wraith pink boom just bought phantom + elite, love it tkl really is my choice. before this rk71 is my main keyboard with custom foam for pcb, bottom foam, tape ,tx stab, matcha green lubed. and that tecware + elte justr originally come as good or more good than my rk. truely nice
What’s the difference between the iceberg yellow and the gateron yellow switches
The k530 pro would go amazing with puddings

Yeah I can definitely tell that there’s still reminiscences of enthusiasm in him even after he stopped making these videos.
nice vid but i cant find A SINGLE ONE OF THESE
the non pro k530 is hot swappable idk what you mean i have it right here and swapped the brown switches for some reds
is number 5 hotswappable??
