Finally someone is speaking about full size keyboards!! Good job!!!!! I love my Ducky Shine 7 and I wouldn't change it for anything else than an identical keyboard that is wireless.
I always swore by Ducky (I have a Shine 6 & 7 and 3 TNKL) until I tried a Glorious with Gateron Box White switches. Well worth checking out.
@@Prod-23 My only issue with Glorious is that they only have one proper full size keyboard and it has no removable cable. I tried the GMMK2 96% but the key locations just didn't work for me. I'm currently on a Ducky One 3 full size with silent reds, but I've got a set of Glorious Fox keys on order for it.
@@joemacafee7655 Gotcha. That is a bit of a showstopper isn't it.
Ducky are awesome though so it's not like you're poorer for it!
Try apex pro hehe
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I've recently come across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it seems like a useful tool for maintaining a spotless environment in your desk, car, and more. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it versatile and efficient. The compact size and multiple tubes also make it great for keyboard cleaning. Give it a try if you're looking to optimize your cleaning routine!
The Keychron Q6 has replaced my Corsair k95. Although it's not working with via yet, it sounds so much better with a bit of modding. It also has a knob which shifts over the F keys which I will always look for in whatever keyboard I seek.
Great video, the trend of tiny keyboards is really strange to me considering the whole point of them is to save space but most people put tiny keyboards on massive desks. Either way whatever you prefer it doesn't really matter, but there should be the option of both for everything.
For me, Corsair K100 is like 80% perfect but it only has speed switches so it needs browns. K95 Platinum XT is perfect but doesn't have the new features of the K100
It's the mouse pad estade.
@@PaulieVideos you gonna sleep on that?
Im of the opinion that one does not simply save mouse pad real estate because yes
@@suntzu1409 yes
Mice also got smaller, and if we go by r/mousereviews, then anything above 70g is completely unusable.
I agree with what you said about the K100, even though Cherry Silver Speeds have been very good to me throughout the years, however, in regards to the desk space and smaller keyboards, the main reason for that is the *wide* amount of space you would have for your mouse. It's especially useful for gamers who damn-near swing their mouse all around the desk when playing FPSs and things like that.
Good video. I have been using the Mountain Everest Max. Love all the features on it after upgrading to 3 tone pbt keycaps.
Surprised you didn't cover the Keychron Q5/Q6! They're both amazing 1800-compact/full-size keyboards, respectively, and they come pre-built.
I don't expect to change my G915 for a long time. I use the five additional function keys a lot. It's also super practical to switch between my laptop and my desktop with the press of a button. And I love the low profile and the build quality.
Why is the G915 not on this list? It's by far the best full size.
Logitech?
Gotta agree with everything you said! My absolute favorite keyboard. Curious why they went with Razer instead in this list.
Where do you find the battery to change it? How long does the lithium battery last?
Hey! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for keeping your desktop and other spaces clean. It offers both vacuuming and blowing capabilities, with powerful suction and a 22m/s wind speed for keyboard cleaning. The versatile accessories and long-lasting battery make it perfect for travel too! Give it a shot and let me know what you think. 😉
It took me 2 solid days to get used to the DS V2 Pro but now I love it. It travels with me between three different locations and connects with three different devices. A solid buy if you can afford it.
Have you any issues with your keyboard showing 100% charge in synapse but when you unplug it shows 97%?
my ds v2 pro has annoying noise, it has bad capability to maintain connection if there is another wireless devices on the same PC, also it charge-out pretty fast.
Idk, if logitech g915 have a hot-swap, i wouldnt see the reason to buy ds v2 pro. Its the only real win.
The setup you're in seems so nice, idk why I'm enjoying that backdrop so much xD
Yes ! Finally someone provides TYPING SOUND! Thank you SO much ! Please , do review of "silent" keyboards .
Finally a review which focuses on the full-size keyboards only. Thanks a lot for that.👍
Also... I was expecting the Logitech Mx Mechanical to be included. Still not sure why it's missing.🤔
@@rayquazahere8529 this guy who does their keyboard reviews has a severe preference for 60% keyboards, so thats what he usually goes for.
i dont think logitech is up to speed with newer tech anymore most of the popular boards are modular and you can hotswap switches not sure they even do that dont they still use their own thing
@@PainX187 on the 512 carbon its clicky blue mx, but can not swap them out.
I assume MX Mechanical was not included because there are far better, and cheaper, options out there. This seems to be consistent story with Logitech peripherals these days, including their recently released "inclusive" peripherals.
Hey there, {{3}}! Thanks for joining the discussion. While the Logitech Mx Mechanical keyboard is indeed popular, it seems the focus of this post is on full-size keyboards. If you're interested in notebook upgrades and desktop setup optimization, have you considered looking into the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy device for keeping your devices and spaces clean. Let me know if you need more recommendations or have any specific questions!
I recently picked up a Mountain Everest Max and I couldn't be more happy with it. It does everything I would want a keyboard to do and the typing experience, for me, is top notch. I'm using the linear red switches on mine.
Hey there, I recently came across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it seems like a great addition to any desktop setup. With its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, it can help keep your workspace spotless. Plus, the multiple tubes and high-quality filters ensure long-lasting performance. Definitely worth considering for optimizing your cleaning routine! Cheers!
Thanks for this review. I love using full-size keyboards because I do other things with my computer besides game.
Thank you so much for this video 🙏. I understand why many people are into smaller-sized keyboards but it pains me to have such a small selection of premium full-size keyboards when the extra keys come in handy with work and school. I also wish that bigger companies like Razer, Corsair, & Logitech would consider making 1800-layout boards with a full case (Like The KBDFans ODIN or Corsair's K65 RGB Mini). I'm _preeettyyy_ sure the majority of gamers are ready to move on from floating-key designs. Not saying they have to get rid of RGB lighting, but I think an actual enclosed case would make a better aesthetic these days.
Hey there, {{3}}! Thanks for your comment. I completely agree with you on the need for more options when it comes to premium full-size keyboards. It's great to have the extra keys for work and school tasks. I also believe that enclosed cases would give a better aesthetic. By the way, have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a fantastic tool for maintaining a spotless environment on your desk and beyond. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it an essential part of any desktop setup. You should check it out!
Hey {{3}}! I totally understand your frustration with the limited selection of premium full-size keyboards. It's great to hear your thoughts on companies exploring new designs like enclosed cases. Speaking of innovation, have you considered upgrading your cleaning routine with the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a versatile tool for maintaining a spotless environment. It's definitely worth checking out!
Wonder if you've got your hands on the new Roccat full sized keyboard yet. Also curious since you mention this is shot on a phone, is everything shot on the phone or just the shots where you are talking. Keep up with the good stuff.
FINALLY
Every time I ask someone for suggestions, they just go "buy a TKL instead"
if TKL is good for someone, I will suggest they try 75%.
If you want full size, I recommand old keyboard instead of 2022 keyboards, nothing wrong with them, just many old option still there and basically makes no difference.
Some brands rarely has new model come out or still remain those models even newer one being launched such as Filco. They always great.
That's what I used to see in some techies forum. In one of the Discord server of a local tech reviewers I join for example, many have asked about the full size recommendation but sadly they rarely give one, either because they don't know about recommended full-sized boards even though there's a lot of them ranging from cheap but good quality OEM ones to the ones from expensive big brand or because they simply prefer smaller form factor with separate numpad because they don't use numpad often, only for work so it's better to have a separate one.
And yeaa they always justify the reason of why smaller form factor will always be better which might not be everyone's favourite. This kind of treatment often make someone who asked for recommendation to flee from the forum without even saying thank you as far as I've seen, probably because they feel asking for those people are useless at the end (I guess?)
Sometimes I really feel like the odd one, because I have requirements that go against what people say.
I prefer cabled headphones for the simplicity and "it just works" usability, I still have my DVD drive in use on a frequent basis, I use my numpad almost on a daily basis, and I have big hands, so all these tiny sub 70g mice are just uncomfortable to use.
You guys going to do a video on the 60HE Wooting keyboard? I’ve heard amazing things but I’d love to see your take!
I've been WAITING for a video like this to pop up to for me!
I'm currently in debate between Glorious GMMK 2, Ducky One 3 classic or the Razer Death Stalker V2 (Mainly because i've always had razer products). What are peoples recommendations?
Also any noticeable difference between the Glorious Gateron Red switches & the Kailh?
YESS I've been waiting for this video
Huge help! Thank you so much!

While I switched to TKL since I don't really need a numpad and I have larger mousepad, it's still cool to see new full-size which may show some new features that my come on smaller eventually.
The mini ones are just ridiculous to me, you don't really save any extra space like barely vs TKL but you lose half of keyboard almost. Don't want to FN half the stuff I use.
Hey there! I totally get your perspective on TKL keyboards vs full-size ones. It's all about personal preference and what works best for you! By the way, have you ever considered trying out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a powerful vacuum and blower in one, perfect for maintaining a spotless desk setup. I've had a great experience with it, and it's reasonably priced too! Just thought I'd share my recommendations. 😉👍
Super useful, thanks!
Amazing comparison
Nice to see some full-sized love. Decided to build a keyboard earlier this year and would have liked to use a Ducky One 3 as the base, but they didn't have the white at that stage. Ended up getting a GK108S of Aliexpress, using Gateron Lion switches and some generic caps to get me through until a pre-order ships. Haven't done any additional work and it's been decent. Will lube and insulate once the caps ship.
Which pre -order? What did you get?
@@HardwareCanucks The ePBT Timeless. Here's hoping it matches the white case nicely.
Good review, i like my DeathStalker V2 Pro as well, awesome very silent keyboard.
Wish I'd seen this before I picked up my GMMK1. That Keychron keyboard is what I want - no nonsense, no obnoxious "gamer" aesthetic, just a damn fine keyboard.
What do you not like about the GMMK1, since I have one too? I'm just curious?
I was surprised you didn't include HyperX Alloy Elite 2. Its super bright with is translucent keycaps. Keys are actually good. Price is even better. Its rgb effect is the brightest and the nicest that ive ever seen in a keyboard.
Great video !
I haven't seen the video yet, and I'm telling you.... Thank you!

Excellent! And you've left enough full-size keyboards off this list to do a part two of this video! There's the Royal Kludge RK100 (and the RK 100 Pro with a CNC aluminium milled case), the Epomaker TH98 (with a vintage two-tone colorway PLUS accented keycaps), the Akko 3098 series (with a handful of color options and accented keycaps), as well as my personal favorite, the LTC NB1041 Nimbleback which I can't say enough good things about after modding with PBT XDA profile keycaps and Gateron Inks V2 black switches (which now sounds a tad thockier than the Ducky One 3 that you reviewed in this video). There are a few more but I am really looking forward to part two where hopefully you can cover these other keyboards and some of the highlights featured with each of them. Thank you for the video!
Yeah, I would love to see a second video showing more keyboards. The one shown are are pretty expensive here, so some recommendations with a slightly more budget oriented price would be nice.
Thank you for the comparison
I just love this keyboard! Its Kaihl BOX Red switches are just a miracle. I can type on it very quickly and accurately, and have fun doing it.
I really really wish that Keychron's retro grey coloring was available on their wireless k10 product. I'd pull the trigger on that board immediately.
Tempted by some of these boards, but as someone who spends an ungodly amount of time in front of a computer for work, I really wish someone would make a mechanical version of the Microsoft Sculpt Ergo.
There are some options, but they’re either riddled with gimmicks, have an exorbitant price tag near $400+, or don’t have a logical form factor for a productivity setup.
After using something as comfortable as the Sculpt Ergo with a tented and angled board, you really feel the strain on your wrists and forearms from standard keyboards. Same goes for their Sculpt Ergo mouse (though the wireless tech is absolute trash if not in direct line of sight to the receiver). Alice/Arisu boards get close, but don’t achieve the same level of usability and comfort.
Please review ergonomic keyboards.
I’ve been happily using a Das Keyboard for years now and I rarely see them mentioned.
Would you ever be willing to do a Keyboard comparison like this where the audience can pick the keyboards or you do a poll with audience for keyboards they want to pick
loving my wooting two HE
This dude usually provide a lot of useful information
Dmitri, I always enjoy your keyboard videos. I'm still on the ASUS Claymore II (ROG Blue keys) and I typically do not use the numpad.
i dont use it often, but when doing finances or taxes, its suuper handy
Thanks for this video.
I was a little bit worried until the end of it, but then came the Wooting and saved the day. :D
I have actually a Wooting two Lekker edition and absolutely my favourite.
What I miss from these lists is the brand Varmilo. However they are a little bit oldschool (use Cherry MX and own EC switches and lack of fancy features), but the build quality is exceptional with their Dyesub PBT keycaps.
Keychron Q6 MIA
I'm looking forward to buy the GMMK 2. I think it will be a very good upgrade to my Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum. I never really use the extra keys on that one and Logitech's G Hub seems to get worse and worse with every new update.
I also have the Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum and wish to upgrade. Did you get the GMMK2 and if so what are your thoughts, especially coming from Logitech.
The GMMK2 looks interesting, but the price is just a no for me.
Hi, loved the review, thankyou, and gave you well deserved thumbs-up!
Can I ask a question? The Asus Strix Flare II - I notice that in your review the LED backlight was all blue. In all the advertising for the keyboard, it is always shown with a rainbow LED backlight effect, and nothing is said about the ways in which the backlighting can be changed. I'm assuming you can alter/program the backlighting to the effect you want? Can you confirm this? For example - I'd light to have an even green backlight across the whole board. I'm not a fan of the rainbow effect backlighting. Thanks.
Yeah you can change it to whatever you want. Over 20 effects and the whole rainbow 🌈 of colors to choose from! 👍
-D.
I'm literally in the market for a new keyboard. Epic video timing.
Right now I absolutely love my mountain everest 60 with removable numpad....best keyboard I've purchased so far
been thinking of getting a new full size. been running the Asus Flare for a few years now.
Own a wooting two HE, and its not a joke when people say its a gamechanger for tac shooter gaming. To stop pressing the key as soon as my finger is lifted, as opposed to the key stopping being pressed after my finger is lifted, and it depressed the actuation point.
Game changer for strafe shooting in valorant and cs go.
Every video about strafe shooting tells you that you need to get the timing right. but with this keyboard you dont need timing because you are immediately accurate as soon as you let go of the key.
Honestly thank you very much
I've been using the Corsair Strafe RGB with Cherry MX Brown switches for about three years now; I love it. I haven't been able to do a side-by-side comparison with the K70, but I don't have any of the complaints you had with that one. Maybe give the Strafe a test in your next video like this?
New commers to this space would definitely appreciate if you could create a video focused on tactile and silent switches. (is optical, tactile and silent something that exist or is just a dream? )
Logitech G413SE you say the tabs are not lubed, and as you are zoomed in, we can clearly see the lube, so did you lube them yourself or did you mis-speak?
Is that the Colours of Coffee poster in the background? Nice choice.
Hey Dmitry, can you do a comparison on Razer's Basilisk V3 pro vs Logitech's G502 X PLUS, please?
Thanks for sharing!! I'm now using Keychron K3V2 White Edition to match my desk setup color theme and also keep it minimal.
I've got my low profile g815 and I love it, except for the mushy m1-3 buttons, and media controls. wish those were actual buttons and not mushroom caps, but otherwise, it's great and I love it!
The logitech g413 SE looks great. Wish the key switch is different though like a gateron yellow.
Love the full size keyboards 👍
Thanks!
will there be a selection for just low profile ones?
Thanks especially for this. I'm a gamer who sets up their (left) hand on the Num keypad (for lots of very good reasons, one of which is that if you are WASD your mouse hand is stretching and that's going to give you back and neck problems) and also an audio transcriber who types for a living, all of which amounts to: needs the full keyboard including full Num keypad. I tried the 'gaming keypads' just for your one hand, so far they seem to be uniformly anti-ergonomic and non-anthropometric (my industrial design degree tells me this). So thanks, this is an excellent start on my long quest (that definitely won't include Razer; I was given a new one to try and it's rubbish - packed full of stupid gimmicks, a volume knob I don't need and which doesn't work anyway, and FRAGILE switches that shatter if you look at them the wrong way - compared to the 'legacy' one I still have that dates back to when Razer were pioneers in the mechanical keyboard realm, that still works beautifully after, what, 15 years or something?).
Can we have a comparison between Kehchron's K10 and Ducky's one 3 please?
Been using the AZIO MK for a few years. Full size, has its shortcomings, but have been overall satisfied 4/5, what does that say about my standards tho..?
The ducky was the one for me, since it and that weird commodore throwback were the only ones with a proper bezel.
Still rocking my razer blackwidow stealth. That thing just about predates rgb keyboards and is going strong.
Keychron Q6 QMK is the best full size I have had so far. But I can see why you wouldn't include it as it's availability may be a bit limited, and I think you do want to mod it a bit to really make it shine.
Aside from the availability, if you're not in America the shipping costs can sometimes be ridiculous. Not even mentioning how long it would take to actually arrive...
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for your cleaning needs. Its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, along with its multiple tubes and high-quality filters, make it a versatile tool. Plus, its compact design and long-lasting battery make it portable for on-the-go use. Definitely worth checking out!
that first RoG board, does it have standard keycap widths? I am looking for full size with raised switches, media controls, and ideally hot swap that I can use my custom caps on, but some boards (esp with inset keys) are too tight and make them rub so I want a raised board to hopefully avoid that
I use the GMMK as my daily and I love it. Its a compact full size and types beautifully,. Its the best of both worlds.
Does anyone have any experience with the Keychron K5 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard? It looks pretty nice with the low profile, and the price is attractive! I've never used a Keychron keyboard before though.
I believe there is something wrong in their quality control at Corsair. I recently purchesed the K70 TKL red switch from Amazon, the typing experience had been amazing, everying is smooth, but unfortunately the USB-C port of the detachable cable was acting up, it disconnected ramdomly, so I connected Amazon and got a replacement. This one the USB-C port is working well, no disconnection, but the typing experience is completely different, the switches are little bit scratchy, which gives me a feeling that there are some unwanted material stucked in the switches.
I'm a big fan of the 96% layout, which I don't see too often for mechanical keyboards. Basically get every key a full size has just more compact.
Bought a hot swappable Royal Kludge Pro 100 that can be connected with both Bluetooth and wireless dongle on sale for $70.
I almost bought that one since I loved the fact that it had a milled aluminium case. I went with the LTC NB1041 Nimbleback keyboard and modded it with PBT XDA keycaps and Gateron Inks V2 black switches for a gorgeously thocky and buttery smooth typing experience.
@@Aaron_Lesse yeah I'm pretty noobish when it comes to mechanical keyboards. I just felt for the price it was a good deal since my main focus was a wireless one that didn't need to rely on Bluetooth and had good built quality.
Aluminum casing is pretty tanky and I like the idea I can change the switches if I get sucked into the hobby even more haha.
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I can definitely understand your excitement for the Royal Kludge Pro 100. Have you considered optimizing your desktop setup with the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a versatile tool that offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities to keep your workspace and peripherals spotless. I've found it to be efficient and reasonably priced compared to other brands. Just thought I'd share this handy device that might enhance your cleaning routine. Let me know if you have any other questions or need further recommendations! Happy tech-ing!
I personally thing that the Keychron Q6 is the best this years.
-Extremely well built and premium full Aluminium shell.
-Came with decent switches, stabiliser with hot swap.
-Thick PBT keycaps with good looking font.
-RGB
-Gasket mount.
-Have a nob option if you want.
- Require minimal moding, if any.
-Not very expensive compare to other gaming option from brand like Corsair, Razer, Logitech,...
Yeah, Q6 and Q5 are definitely much better in build quality compared to all of these keyboard.
I thought he'll put Q6/Q5 after C1 when I see keychron mentioned.
Agree, the Q6 is currently the best full size on the market. Hotswap, RGB, removable USB type-c, fully reprogrammable, and is incredibly heavy.
Yea I came here to comment that this was a huge miss. The Q5 and Q5 are about as mainstream as the Ducky now and got totally overlooked
blind leading the blind not recommending the Q5 / Q6. Major L
Yep I have a q3 that the only mod needed was force break but like who doesn't have a bit of painters tape laying around if not it's like $5 at most. It's designed to be taken apart and even includes the tool to open it up. Q5/Q6 would have been a step up from gmmk and likely Asus keyboard.
Good video but how about some full-size mechanical keyboard options with volume knob + media controls which don't cost a fortune. 😞
Can you make a video about the mini keyboards? Which are the top 5 or 10 ones in 2022 for continuous typing like coding/programming? Has little to no sound as it'll be for long time use.
How mini?
I just received my Ducky One 2 full size with silent red switches, the ping noise is ridiculously loud and hollow. Sent it back immediatly. No one 3 cIassic here in germany yet. So there is no ping noise in the one 3?
Y'all always seem to release videos for things that I'm in the market for right when I'm in the market for them
I'm a Royal Kludge fan, I have the RK100 pro, RK60 pro and RK84 love them and can recommend them, with a few mods, you can make an awesome keyboard for cheap.
Which one is programmable because I use a lot of shortcuts
Please do this with bigger then full size like ones with macro keys. i want to get a new keyboard but i have used this one for 4 years and i miss my macro keys
I have the K613 still, and like it a lot. I do however have a crush on the Huntsman series...
I would love to have one with a detachable numpad. I do use it to input long numbers in excel and bind voice channels to it if a game has more multiple. And for those having the numpad on the left side would be super practical. But at that point I wouldn't mind having a seperate numpad. I also don't like if the function key block is tinkered with, it really messes with touch typing when keys aren't where they are supposed to be.
And for a maximum typing and gaming solution I would probably use two keyboards. One with linear switches for gaming, and one with tactile switches for typing. Both obviously the same brand and model, with removable cable, so that I could simply unplug one and plug in the other.
I also think that, at the very least, they should put the numpad on the left. One of these major keyboard manufacturers needs to take that leap of faith.
@@morgan5941 Check out the Mountain Everest Max. You can set it up however you like.
Thanks, I really don't like the smaller keyboards, looking for a new full size one.
12:32 "They are not lubed", - said Dmitry when showing lubed stabs, lol.
I noticed that too.
we need a tkl version. tkl is the best size!!
I like gaming, but I also do a lot of 3D modeling- and many of the programs I use have numpad integration. So Its always annoying to want the best gaming keyboard, but also a numpad.
I have too many mechanical keyboards already, and I know I will eventually get more. It's not unusual for me to wear out a non-mechanical keyboard in less than two years, so, this replacement of hardware lead me to buy more sturdy products. My current cheapskate preference is the EVGA linear or clicky versions of the Z20 that are normally well over 100 dollars, but at present are on sale in the 50 to 70 dollar region.
Those are optical switches right?
I see them with linear switches listed at 48€ currently, not bad. The version with clicky switches sadly is still 140€
@@HappyBeezerStudios The EVGA Z20 Mechanical keyboards are definitely light based optical switch tech that perform like tradition mechanical keyboard switches. If you want the actual mechanical versions then buy the EVGA Z15 keyboards, because those have mechanical switches of the Kailh design that can be swapped out for your preferred switch. I do not know if the switch connections are Cherry MX switch compatible. I recently have seen both the Z20 and Z15 priced between 30 and 60 dollars especially on the EVGA website. Both Z20 linear and clicky (LK Light Strike Optical Mechanical) versions use the LK light activated mechanical switches I have no idea if and why the description is the same, but the Z15 uses Kailh brown clicky switches and the linear version uses Kailh Speed Silver switches.
keyboard person here, I highly reccommend getting the hotswap options, so that you can swap the switches if you dont like the stock switches,
some switches :
Akko cs : very good for the price
Gateron Milky Yellow
KTT Switches : these are really nice when stock
jwick t1
i dont really know every switch in existence so yea uh
There should be a mention to the iqunix F97, which is a great hot swap keyboard that doesnt need much modding
I want the wooting, but it doesn’t seem to be shipping anytime soon
Still rocking the Tesoro Gram Spectrum, almost 5 years old at this point I believe.
At the moment I am still using full size Apex 7 (brown switch with PBT keycaps) and tbh I don't think I will be switching to a new keyboard any time soon. Most of the offerings are fine but nothing special and with heavily inflated prices. Wierdly, smaller knob keyboards are getting the most of my attention these days, especially after we got Maxfit 67 for my wife for around 100e - amazing value with great typing experience.
Ugh I JUST got the K70 Pro. I do like it though, no regrets. However, that GMMK 2 looks pretty spicy.
I got the Apex Pro and love it
Varmilo and Iqunix have some great boards.
you should've added a WindX98, I know it's not 100% but it technically kinda is in a way and it's a good board
Please do this for tkl and other forms factors
Leopold is my best full size keyboard
Hope one day ur channel can review their keyboard
Leopolds are top tier stock keyboards, but I don't think they'll ever be popular with the "gamur" crowd due to their lack of RGB.
Oh god the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro is pretty much exactly what I want...except...the price. Holy Cow.
Thanks for the great video.
Is there an ISO alternative for the keychron C2?
Please do a review of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Por x :)
Been using the Mountain Everest Max for a while. Its an amazing full size keyboard which also works as a TKL or with the numpad by the side with a cable. Using Mountains own lubed switches makes it even better. (Just replace those damn ABS keycaps).
I received mine from a Black Friday deal with the Cherry Red. And yes I agree, I replaced the key caps with a 3 tone pbt keycaps. Also love the Yeti Easter egg in the little Oled displays.
