“Budget” and “razer” were never in the same sentence
Razer not budget
Well it ain't good either

Kylo Ren lmfao that was actually funny

I actually have the g213 and to the untrained eye it's a flex. (I paired it with the g502 mouse and the g553 headphones for the setup)
I know that it's all opinion based, but it's a little bias to not mention that the g213 also has access to editing the RGB through the app "logitech gaming software" and "overwolf" which you can download easily. It works for my headphones and mouse so it's a really nice way to check on everything.
FInally, I'd like to say that the g213 is not an eyesore compared to the cooler master. If you prefer having blazing lights like that then choose it, but i prefer the more low key lighting because it won't take away my concentration from the games I'm trying to play.
I like the G213 because the lighting is only going through the key legends and the membrane keys feel not to bad for a membrane keyboard.
Have you played with it? could you shar your experience?
"the lighting is the worst part"
Me: if it shows a solid red. I'm good!
Yep same.
I think the logitech is better that what he says in the review and the razer basicly just have good light's =razer fanboy
is the wrist rest removable?????????
@@JacobMoralen Razer waist is removable but not g213
did u mention how cynosa chroma has razer synapse and u can use hypershift to pretty much double the amount of keys on it?
@@JacobMoralen nope ik I'm 1yr late lol
@@Itzhennessylol
corsair its 50 bucks it has 6 macro keys its got dedicated media keys and wonderful rgb lighting and again for only 50 bucks owh and the wrist rest its a fucking steal
DracoKen but you could get a truly mechanical one for $25, no lights, no macros, but nobody NEEDS rgb or macros. I have the Aukey KM-G9, it has blue switches and it’s only $25 and no bells and whistles
@@gigabytee everyone knows RGB adds 20fps
W-_-T that’s not funny anymore
@@gigabytee Can't even find any store that sells it.
Gianluca Daniele Di Maggio so you didn’t look on amazon ? Newegg ?
"you get that clear, opaque look" makes sense
People keep saying that to get mechanical keyboards, that prices are similar, yadda yadda. But honestly, plenty people from other countries can enjoy those as well.
Here where I live the price difference between those keyboards listed is ENORMOUS and the difference between those and a decent mechanical keyboard is also scary!
I came to this video to check if that price difference would be worth in my case. G213 is at 140 (free shipping), K55 is at 230 (with shipping), MasterSet 121 can't be found and Cynosa Chroma is 315 (free shipping). Decent mechanical ones are around 300 and up, so the only one anywhere close to it would be the Cynosa.
With the review I saw that while the G213 may be the more "meh" of the group, for the current price I can find that it's actually very nice! So I'll prolly go with it :)
Thanks for the reviews, man!
Le Ju it's all depend what kind of mechanical keyboard did u want to buy. If u're very low budget, u can try for outemu switch. But if u expect for some good keyboard like alloy elite rgb, k95, etc,well.. it's kinda hard for u then
get the tecware phantom rgb tkl
Have you heard of international shipping?
Thinking to buy logitech g213
I have its a good keyboard
Same I have aswell, very durable and vibrant.
tusseboi buy the G810 or G513 or G910
G213 is a membrane!
I have it and it,s very good
G213 is a decent keyboard with a very good price lol
I feel like right now the g213 is the cheapest. The other keyboards did not drop in price.
I think that The k55 is the best just becouse The price and just what you get
eron gashi b the price in the k55 is the same in cynosa
Redragon: *I'm mechanical bitches*
@@zUltra3D And ugly aswell as uncomfortable.
@@xPandamon How so?
@@zUltra3D Did you see that thing? It's really not a good looking keyboard and it got no wrist rest. I can't imagine it being comfortable for longer gaming sessions
Definitely like cooler master the most. Love the minimalist design and the fact it's so well built and probably the closest one can get to a mechanical keyboard without it actually being one, at least right now. The lighting is also pretty nice (: personally don't care much for macros, so the k55 really looses it's appeal because of the keys.
Cooler master's definitely at the top of my list, when i can get a keyboard.
Joana Martins I think so
The cooler master keyboard looks like the same keyboard I bought for £10-£15 off Amazon.
Controversial Opinion
I don’t like the kind of setups with a all Corsair or all razer
K55 vs Logitech G213 - Go with the G213 if you want a water resistant board!!!
b1aflatoxin bad choice but yeah, personal preference

Thanks for this video, I am planning on buying a new keyboard and this video helped me out a lot, cheers
Jacek Gebka glad it helps!
Don't believe his thoughts on the Logitech G213, I'd suggest trying it for yourself.
im typing with the k55 rn i love it
Hes kinda against the k55, i hate that. Its such a good keyboard. Aswell you cant compare a membrane with a mechanical keyboard (which he is doing) i also have the k55, amazing keyboard (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ
I have the k55, it’s a piece of shit. Glad I ordered a ducky one 2 mini
@@user-hu8tw2ot3t I too have a k55, it's absolute crap. only thing I like about it is the media keys, everything else is awful. also, I really hope you didn't get the one 2 mini just bc Tfue has it
Chris 1 eyy 60% family!!!! I have the anne pro 2
i bought the k55 and threw it out after 2 weeks and bought the logitech g pro. the k55 is absolute garbage
This is the exact comparison I was looking for! THANKS!
If they released the k55 keyboard with
Better key feel
Full 16.8 million colors with iCUE control also per key lighting
Budget keyboard showdown! Great video, great quality! I was wondering if you'd ever do a gaming monitor showdown?
I am going to start monitors soon I have a few coming in
Christian Stanfield the ornata cost 100 not really budget but OK
i brought mine g213keyboard along with g300s mouse and g231prodigy headset for rm299 around 75usd on a offer prize sale
you bought a G300S Mouse in 2018!? That's so foolish of you, You could have bought the Logitech's new budget mouse G102 which is amazing and is RGB
@@aqibmehmood7326 I also did the mistake. Probably getting a G502 instead.
i got the razer as an upgrade from my older, more loud membrane that came with my old alienware and that is harder to type on than the razer. i love it. i've wanted a mechanical board but i still like the razer functions on it like when the game can use the rgb functions on it. the only way that i get a new board is if i upgrade my entire set up. definitely getting a razer mechanical board when i upgrade.
Looked at these and then found the Corsair K55 at walmart online for 28.89 shipped. Will arrive Monday. Thanks for the info!
That's a good deal!
30 fucking dollars... my god
They cynosa is $100 here
Cynosa is the best, cooler master doesn't have a chance. We're talking about membrane keyboards for their silent typing. If one needs a noisy keyboard just get a true mechanical keyboard, not a hybrid.
I got the razer ornata chroma, and I really like it! Good video, keep up the good work!
is it loud
FLuFFKiN for the same price you could have gotten a real mechanical key board but to each there own
The ornata chroma is like $60 at microcenter
FLuFFKiN
I will get the fucking cynosas of the Razer.
FLuFFKiN i got the blackwidow x chroma
early comments are always shit
Cooler Master has Novatouch experience so it makes sense that they make the best rubberdomes
Bruh I love the cynosa, I had it for about a year before upgrading to the huntsman elite, and the backlit keys were so cool and new to me, I created the most extra lighting configuration, a static galaxy config with starlights that were white for stars and a ripple effect that was red to orange.
Tip > you are slightly overlighted maybe you can fix it with some shaders
Sound tests at 9:00
like please :)
Is coolermaster really that loud compared to k55. Im worried about my mic might catch noises from it. Its very devastating to listen someones writing from discord sometimes
Finally a comparison with multiple brand has come
Nice compare! I went with the Razor over the CoolerMaster, but bloody hell keyboards are expensive in Nepal! I had to pay about $86. Right after it was delivered, I found out they sell the CoolerMaster for about $10 less. However, the Synapse software is great and works for Mac as well.
for the k55 can you pick static colour for all the keys
yes you can
thanks for the reply i got k55 to day from argos for £ 59.99
@@aryans12 3 years old and still working fine
You’ve disliked g213 in all the video
Never heard you said any good
Yeah, he seemed to just have a veiled dislike of Logitech in general, quite biased
Three and a half years old yet still a very useful review. Thank you. 👍
K55 or g213?
Kyriakos Diamantopoulos g213
When you update the k55 the choppy animation goes away and it get much fluid
Darknight what u mean update it?
Space pork
Download the Corsair software and update the keyboard
I have used the k55 for about 1 year and I loved it. The reason I switched keyboard was because I bought a mechanical keyboard.

Corsair K55 or Logitech G213 ???
Philipp Lust k55 i still like cynosa more tho
i don't like clicky keyboard or mechanical keyboards , i like membrane keyboards, and i also love ur review
If the most of the review focuses on lights and sound of the keyboard, I don't consider it to be a real review of a keyboard. I would like to know how fast you can type with them and how long can you use them before your start to feel uncomfortable. You can see those light patters on any commercial, but these things you will not. For example I would have liked to know how annoying those macro buttons of K55 were. Does it take some time to get used to them? How easy it's to shut the light when you go to sleep and so on. Practical things, which actually matters when you are using it.
Nc vid Bb. May I ask? What headset/headphones are you currently using right now?
chaz sidnee Audiotechnica ATH-M50X
Brainbean Thnx for mentioning!
Thanks a lot man !!!
Was really confused about what to buy .......the video helped a lot !
For that price I got myself a outemu blue mechanical keyboard with each key individually lighted red for like 30$, very durable, love it.
Nice Video! This really helped my research on what keyboard to buy
Awesome, Glad to help!
King is logitech g213
brainbean! can you make a video on the difference between laser 5g and optical 5g mice??
the difference is that laser sensors MAY have mouse acceleration (the faster you move the mouse the faster the cursor on-screen moves, but only MAY, that doesnt mean they do, i tested g403 which has a laser sensor but acceleration is non existent), meanwhile optical mice has NO acceleration, but they cant be used on some surfaces meanwhile laser mice can, as long as the surface is smooth you can use laser mouse on it while you need a dark surface for better tracking on optical mice (a surface that absorbs light, cloths or hard maths are the best, you can use optical mices on glass or similar surfaces that reflect light and DOESNT absord them), thats pretty much it otherwise just look for a sensors thats atleast a pmw 3310 (zowie fk2 for example, the deathadder elite (I think the lancehead tournament uses the same sensor if i remember correctly) atm has the most advanced sensor but it doesnt mean that a lesser sensor like the 3310 will perform worse, its more up to the design of the mouse and the person using it over the laser, as long as its an accurate sensor its gonna work), do note though that the g403 has too small of mice feet so you can feel the drag, i tested this on 2 different g403 and it was the same, it drags so I highly dont suggest picking up a g403 or any mice with similar feet. I got myself the deathadder elite and gigantus (razer mousepad) and its sooo smooth to use and the mouse is really well shaped, just fits in the hand almost perfectly. I recommend you check rocketjumpninja on youtube for the best mouse recommendation, he also has his own site where you can check the best mouse for the size and type of grip that you use while handling mice. Good luck with picking one, hope i wasnt waaay to late.
Anyone 2018
Yes
Yep
No u
harry gallagher hi
Yep
G213 forever xd
EXCELLENT comparison review!!!
Rubber dome, not membrane. Those terms are not interchangeable.
God video! I really liked the cooler master
The Coolermaster keyboard is $80, you can just get a regular mech keyboard for $80
this ^
i will pick cynosa chroma
I got the cynosa for Christmas and this vid really helped :)
How is it do you like it?
Love the shirt. Great band, great album
Which budget keyboard have each programable light up key.. eg. I want only lets say light up WSAD keys as red and the rest other colour.
Cynosa is going to be the best bet for cheap per-Key RGB.
i used the G213 for almost a year but now i switched to the HyperX Alloy Elite V2 :D
I would choose k55
The Tecware Phantom blows all of them out the water for the stuff you get at such low cost. Like $46. And it also has mechanical switches, 18 lighting effects and minimalist design. And also not forget it has steel to make sure your keyboard doesn't break if you smash it with your first just because your team sucks.
How do I only get the coolermaster keyboard so not the mouse
I just bought the razer cynosa chroma and so happy to test it out
My first gaming keyboard was the Corsair K55 and I returned it the next day. Num lock and Caps lock would trip out. The Razer Cynosa felt too cheap. I bit the bullet and spit out extra cash to buy the Logitech G512 SE for home and the G213 Prodigy for work. I will say that I like the Prodigy keyboard the most. Its tactile yet quiet. I like the dedicated media keys which if the g512 SE had would have made it the perfect keyboard.
I have had so many different keyboards (no matter, if rubberdome or mechanical) from companies all over the planet, but at the end I always came back to Logitech G keyboards again!
Tue best keyboard review I've seen today/ever. :) thanks
I have the Razer Cynosa and it's great to type on. It's been a couple of months since I bought it and still hasn't died on me.
Is it good for gaming?
Just got one from Best Buy. Looking forward to try it and I’ll tell you my opinion when I get home.
@@ka1ki523 Does it still work?
Logitech G213 vs Steelseries Apex 150 ???? Help plez
I used to have to masterset until it broke. First, the C and X stopped working. Then everything just started not working.
Are there any similar keyboard like the Corsair K55 but with brown switch? Programmable macro keys, few pre-programmed RGB lighting, at least have a decent design but with any company brown switch not necessary have to be Cherry MX. Price slightly higher is fine.
look at Corsair's other products
im downgrading from a redragon mechanical board to the logitech g213. i tried mech boards for a bit and i do not like them AT ALL. They make my hands and fingers hurt. The membrane boards are much easier to type on.
Hey Brainbean, nice vid. BTW, I have a question: What is the difference between the Razer Cynosa and the Razer Cynoza Chroma? And is it the same as any Chroma vs non Chroma?
There are only 2 Cynosa models: Cynosa Chroma or Chroma Pro. The only differences between the two is a 24 zone light bar on the Pro, which tacks on $20 to the price. I would recommend skipping the Pro and just going for the base Cynosa Chroma.
Spencer Carruth oh ok, thank you.
8:09 that’s what quality dome keyboard need
Cyanosa Chroma. :) best rgb experience for the price!
Not the best feel
Very nice vid. Any thoughts on the steelseries apex 150 in comparison with these? Im in between that one or the corsair k55.
the cynosa is garbage the membrane feels terribly inconsistent
Thanks for the review 👍👌👍👌👍
I like the g213 way more
Does it feel better for gaming than redragon k552?
I would go with the k55, I can't stand mechanical keyboards so if the membrane/rubber dome key feels like a mech I don't want it. I bought a k95 with reds and hate it, it's collecting dust. The g213 would be nice if the wrist rest was removable.
Youre kinda beating my boy k55 up. Its so good. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ
I have a k55. it's ass. the only thing I like about it is that it has media keys.
@@numairsalmalin3552 its not a bad keyboard, however, i noticed my NUMBER LOCK and CAPS LOCK stop working out of the blue. I dont like loud clicky keyboards which is why i chose the k55.
@@biggsam117 it's a pos keyboard
@@numairsalmalin3552 I am returning it. Do you recommend any keyboards? I like ones that arent too noisy.
@@biggsam117 well if you want quiet you either get a membrane or you spend a lotta money on a custom board with quiet switches. how much money are you willing to spend?

I bought the k55 yesterday but I’m wondering if I should take it back and get the devastator 3, what one should I go with?
No redragon? Theyre a semi-popular up and coming brand that sells alot of pc peripherals
I don't really like the look of exposed keys, but I prefer the K55's sound before the G213's (K55 seems much less loud). I absolutely need Media Keys so the Coolermaster & Razer are out (they're also more expensive than the other 2 at this point). I'm ordering the G213 and the K55 to compare because I can't decide. I know you said the Logitech isn't great but to me it looks best and I don't really mind any of the "disadvantages" (which aren't such for me) 🤷
So I finally decided to keep the Logitech. It was a very tough decision though. I thought the Corsair's wrist wrest looked better, but the Logitech makes it easier to read the letters because they are lit pretty brightly, while the Corsair is brighter between the keys, which is a little distracting and not as pretty. Also the 5 areas on the logitech just look much smoother. And its media keys are lit, other than the Corsair's. And then I also prefered to just have the arrows on the shift, caps lock and enter keys rather than having "shift" etc. written on it with the German layout, the logitech has arrows but the Corsair has words).
I am writing this with logitech g213 :o
thanks for the advise i'll buy k55
Jeez i like G213 i own it its sick
i have the g213
8:08 There are METAL SPRINGS inside the Cooler Master MasterSet 121, it's not a real membrane.
An other thing: the Cynosa keycaps are not just flat, or vertical like the classic keycaps, their design gives touchable diagonal sides which are great for typing because those sides help the fingers to center better the keys, instead of just tapping them vertically.
M M Piero the masterset does have springs but there are rubber domes under them just like any other membrane keyboard.
Ok, but from my point of view it's like a Topre switch, which is considered mechanical. Those switches have even 2 metal springs each, CoolerMaster says it's mechamembrane but grants +50 million taps on those switches, which is quite odd for a membrane. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that CM MasterSet is *special*
Sort of, they're great don't get me wrong but they aren't anywhere close to topre
Im going for the Razer keyboard nice video.
@J Singh well i got the Ornata instead because of the wrist rest and clicky feel. So far its holding good. So idk about the Cynosa.
@J Singh if you like em then its good. This is razer so it will be good ether way.
I got the Logitech g213 Prodigy
just subbed, nice vid :)
Elias sub me
cooler masters keyboard has the same sound as Cherry mx blue
I love mechanical keyboards but I haven't found the proper mic and programs to successfully not catch the clickity
don't buy a board with clicky switches. tactile switches are meant to feel like clickies, but without such an audible click. linears have no click to speak of so they tend to be much quieter (especially if you don't bottom out). you can also find silent switches. Cherry MX zilents, zeal zilents, healios, etc all are very quiet. the only thing with these switches is that they're not sold in a premade board so you have to solder them in, and some are modded switches so you cant buy them outright, you have to Frankenstein them together
Bro if Ted Cruz did a keyboard review.
Can’t choose Between Cynosa and Cooler Master
Mechanical keyboards be like.
“Shit. It’s 11 and I got that paper due tomorrow!”
(Works until 4:37)
Dad; “I heard you typing all night last night.”
Kid; (closes eyes and relaxes neck so his face is facing the ceiling)
Dad; “I told you to be in bed at 11. Stop waiting till last minute, no wonder you’re grades are ass”
Im using the huntsman elite and the cynosa i like the quiet sound for gaming and the wave effect is nice but it lags for my gtx 1080 ti
I got the Logitech G213 one and I like the design
The Razer is too Generic looking to Razer
The Cooler Master is not very popular to me and I can't find one
The Corsair one..... I don't like the 3 Zones
rgb doesn't matter kek
should I get cyanosa chroma or logitech g 413??
