    ive had a lot of keyboards in my life and the wooting is definetly up there. its one of the best sounding and feeling keyboard ive ever had straight out of the box. nothings pinging, nothing ratteling, nothings hollow and its a little thocky. Then again all of this is personal preference

    It shocks me that more companies don't make heavy tactile switches when you look at how viral the Holy Panda switches went, or the Boba U4T, or even the Akko Cream Blue / lavender purple switches...

  • @MarbsMusic
    @MarbsMusic Місяць тому +1

    The Azoth is what got me into this hobby, I was ready to mod it before it even arrived... So over the last 18 months since then I have built probably 9 or 10 custom keyboards, my latest being a QK75n which I'm loving BTW... it has a knob :) one of my son's though is still using the Azoth which is great board IMHO, our has had pretty much constant use since Jan 2023 and never missed a beat. Recently he wanted a heavier switch I swapped the WS Morandi which had been in it since last Aug to WS Heavy tactile and it definitely thocks!

    The Super Loobed Storms do sound deeper, I like it very much even with the obnoxious click. The Azoth really looks good, love the aluminum top. But you're right, WAY to expensive for what you get. Thanks for helping me get into this hobby, I always look forward to your vids!!

  • @R3AL-AIM
    @R3AL-AIM Місяць тому +1

    I took an old Vengeance K70 and did what I could without desoldering the switches. I honestly love it. Aluminum top, I like Brown switches, lazy lubed them, put electrical tape on the PCB, got some pretty decent PBT caps off Ali... I prefer a 100% board, having the volume slider is a thing I like and I don't mind static lighting/non-RGB. The blue is subtle. Considering I got the board as a gift and the whole thing cost me $30. It was a good learing experience before going into building my own and saved me the $$$ for rn. I have a type test of it on my channel. For $30 🤷

    Laptop keyboards suck; I wish I could actually afford these, like my space bar only works on one side and it's really annoying. The only problem with proper keyboards is that the space bar becomes a seesaw when it gets too old.

    13:05 after switching from a couple gaming brand keyboard to finally getting the Akko HE keyboard (YotD) I can say that Hall effect absolutely doesn’t make you better, but it does feel a lot better to type on AND sound a lot better. From what I heard the switch Akko uses for their HE boards also sound and feel better than the wooting switches.

    Hipyo, i have a question - are Outemu Silent Yellow switches any good? im planning to change my outemu red for lighter and more silent switches as a test. Im not planning to lube anything (im lazy af) and i just want to try other switches for gaming. All my life i was using blue, clicky switches, but after i got a new, hotswappable red switch keyboard (Thor 303 TKL), now i know that there are a lot of better options, but which are worth it idk, because of how small knowledge about keyboards i have.

    I wouldn't mind a quick review of the Low Profile keyboard since I'm in the market for once. I've been wanting a low profile keyboard since my K8 has so much travel time for each key press. It's also very tall. I can't make up my mind between the LoFree Flow and the Nufy Air75. I like the Air 75 because of the wireless performance. Maybe the Asus would be worth it?

  • @christophermcbrian4462
    @christophermcbrian4462 Місяць тому

    I'm just getting into keyboards but I've been buying them all prebuilt and budget priced compared to enthusiast priced. Started with a Corsair K100 with the wheel and I like the customizable RGB and the pudding caps I put on but it sounds like crap compared to the ones you build. Recently I bought the Royal Kludge S98 with Lilac switches and it sounds great with thocky linear switches and caps. That was a budget board but I loved it. I'd like to buy the ROG Azoth gun metal black with snow switches next. I'm wondering of you could show a video on how to take it apart step by step so I don't break it and show how to make them thock like you did here but actually do a step by step tutorial on how to do it. Key caps are pretty straight forward but what would be some nice ones that go with black to make the Azoth thock with snow switches after I mod the inside?

  • @qq_02

    More and more companies are banning programmable keyboards for security reasons.

      @MarkoVuckovic32 Місяць тому

      Take a look at Royal Kludge keyboards. They don't cost too much as far as custom keyboards are concerned but they offer everything you should expect from a customizable keyboard. You can replace keycaps and switches very easily but also the default ones those keyboards usually come with are pretty good. Basically you can customize them as much or as little as you want.
