Finally checking out the latest update to the Dygma Raise. It was a great product when it first arrived some months back but so many keyboard reviews meant I never really had time to learn the board. Now its back with some improvements and user experience is seriously impressive.

Thank you so much for creating this spectacle of a masterpiece! Yet again a high-quality video from the man! Honest and detail-oriented 👏
How did you guys come up with such a cool product? The design is pretty unique, I love the integrated wrist rests as well
@@andrewy2830 Glad to hear that you think our product is cool! We think so too 😎
We basically started by studying how traditional keyboards are and looked at how we could design one that was more ergonomic and comfortable for the user. We must remember that the keyboard’s design came from the typewriter and they were invented over 150 years ago. So the keyboard’s design is really outdated and isn’t designed to fit people’s needs.
We wrote down the benefits we wanted for our keyboard. From there, we worked on the features that could provide those benefits. A 60% keyboard was ideal if we wanted people to minimize doing unnecessary hand movements. Not needing to take your hand away from the home-row is definitely more comfortable and can speed up your workflow.
The palm rests and palm pads was a must if we wanted to promote a neutral angle when using the keyboard. This will prevent wrist extension and overall fatigue when typing/coding/gaming. Having it split helps prevent ulnar deviation and can allow you to open up your chest more when typing, and not slouch.
Tilting a traditional full-size keyboard sideways when gaming is really not ideal. Positioning your hand at a weird angle can cause a lot of injuries. This is evident in many pro esports players. That’s why with the Raise you are able to remove one half and just use the other for gaming. It allows you to have more space for your mouse and we also call it the anti-flame mode 😂
The 8 thumbkeys - well I think that’s been something that many big brands have completely overlooked. The thumbs are our strongest finger and the space bar occupies too much space. Maximizing our thumbs was a no-brainer.
With our configurator software, Bazecor - being able to remap all the keys, create layers and different RGB effects per layer, and create shortcuts and macros is what makes using this unique and minimalistic keyboard really come to life.
It was a lot of trial and error. A lot of iterations. A lot of delays. A lot of back and forth with the community asking for their feedback. But all of those endeavors have resulted in what Brian has just shown us in his video 😁
@SunBerry 😂
@Zeeji Can you point us to a product of similar quality and features for a lower price?
@@DygmaLab Can u try to make ur next keyboard have south facing LEDs? Sorry if I’m asking for too much
I had no idea I was buying a really expensive keyboard today but... here we are.
in a few more years when this gains more traction and becomes more affordable, i'm all in
Nedlius it has been out for pretty long
wait this is v2
@@toasty6986 ye
I've been using ergonomic keyboards since the mid 90s, and I have looked at several (and bought a few) during quarantine. I have some thoughts to share.
The best ergo keyboard ever made was the Datadesk SmartBoard. I will die on that hill. Alps SKCM black switches; ortholinear key layout with slightly wider pinkie keys; 1800 compact layout; tented; negative tilt; attached wrist rest. The biggest adjustment I had using it was the repositioned = key, which they put at the top left. Sadly, they are no longer made, and I have yet to find anything like it. I hope mine never dies (which is why I keep a spare in my closet).
I bought an X-Bows but had a hard time adapting to it. Its keys fan out as they move away from the home row, but since the (alpha and most of the number) keys are all the same width, the gap between the keys increases as they fan out. I also did not like the aggressive shift on the pinky columns (Q, A, Z, P, semicolon), and I found myself missing keystrokes.
I bought an ErgoDox EZ Glow, and I built a Keebio Iris. I like them both and had no trouble adjusting to them. The ErgoDox is quite thick, though, and the Wing wrist rests do not tent. They just sit flat on your desk. This is my biggest problem with the ErgoDox EZ. However, I much prefer the 1.5u pinkie keys on the ErgoDox EZ over the 1u pinkie keys on the Iris. On the other hand, pretty much any ortholinear keycap set fits my Iris.
A tented keyboard needs an attached wrist rest that matches the angle of the keyboard. The Matias Ergo Pro, Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB, and Ultimate Hacking Keyboard do it. The Moonlander has a solution. The Dygma Raise looks like it is a solid product with nice aesthetics and a familiar layout. The bottom row looks better than the two buttons in the UHK's bottom frame. Dygma just announced a tenting kit on their channel yesterday, so hopefully that will come out soon.
I feel like splits are the future for gamers, have one side for when your gaming, the other side for normal use
Also, I think that the YMDK split 64 key keyboard might be better than this but, they're pretty equal.
I'm currently typing on an ergo Iris build and I can confirm this, I have limited desk space and having just one half allows me to perform better in games due to the increased mousepad area. Also typing is a lot more comfortable for my right pinky finger
Those thumb keys are really tempting me. Wonder if there's any other brands tapping into this. Having all that real estate on a normal keyboard would be an instant buy for me.
@@hippie_4762 Thumb buttons are the best. I have my left thumb for space and right thumb for enter.
You have to build it yourself but Quefrency is much cheaper, it has 2 thumb buttons for each hand.
You can also get an ultimate hacking keyboard which around the same price but it has an even crazier thumb cluster options.(You can even add a trackball to your thumb position, so you don't eve need a mouse)
There might be other brands out there with standard layout split+thumb buttons but these are the only ones I know
Have a lily58 pro and with qmk I have all the keys I’d ever want. Play mmos with it and use lower+ esc to hit the map, lower +tab for social window etc. problem is I built this while waiting for my other customs to be fulfilled now they are sitting in a box. For fps ohhh man the amount of room for activities.
my Raise is my prized possession, I'm in love with this board. The 8 bar is nasty. I can't emphasize how incredible having crouch, jump, sprint, etc at your thumb is for mobility. And when typing for extended periods, being able to lean back in my chair with the keys inches away from my armrests is a godsend for carpal tunnel. It's an incredibly comfortable board to use. Only issue is the price; so if you have problems learning touch-typing, don't value ergonomics, or don't see yourself getting creative with the 8bar and layouts it probably aint for you (which the Dygma CEO goes out of his way to express, a stand up move imo). Or if you're just trying to ball out, get it. Def a head turner.
Over the summer, I knew I wanted to get a split keyboard and so I looked into it a lot of options. After a while I decided to go with the Dygma for many of the reasons you have said in the video. The Dygma team is fantastic. They are super active on their own subreddit and are always so kind to work with. I recently just broke a component on my PCB because I was forcing in my Kailh box switches in and it actually broke the hotswap component. After sending an email to their support team they gave me the option to buy a new PCB since breaking the PCB voids the warranty. Additionally they even offered the option of me sending them my Raise and doing the replacement themselves ( no additional costs, just pay more shipping). This is incredibly nice of them and I think it really shows that they are out here doing their best to make sure the customer is happy with their products.
As for the raise itslef, its my new daily driver. I love using it. I added a slight tilt to the back because I personally prefer having a higher typing angle. The only other part that I am not too big a fan of is the fact that you have to leave both sides plugged in even if you only use one. It does work with only one plugged in, but if you unplug one half for too long then when you try to plug it back in, it will not work. Then you have to unplug and replug in the whole neuron to make it work again. Its a minor detail, but since I have limited space it would have been nicer to unplug the left side and put it away rather than just putting it away for a bit
TLDR: Love this keyboard, its really fantastic. Dygma is a really great company that really cares about their customers and they do their best to ensure the best experience
I just love your reviews. 0 cringe, great insight, beautiful editing and great tunes. I don't have any interest in this product, but I loved watching it anyways!
Dude Let’s Go, I have been loving my v1 Raise for the past couple months. It has been the best keyboard I’ve ever used.
Have been waiting for this review for a veeeery long time (seems like the v1 showed up on your videos ages ago)! Very intriguing board indeed... Dygma seems to get so many things right with this current version!! And, of course, a stellar review as we have come to expect from Mr. BadSeed!!!
Oh no... Brian found Split Key's... who want to take bets before he reviews his first Ortholinear?
If I remember correctly, he reviewed the OLKB Preonic about a year ago. With that being said, I do hope he reviews one or two other Ortholinears, as they are fantastic for ergonomics and debatably very easy to replace keycaps on....so long as you are fine with blank modifiers. I suspect one more akin to the size of a typical 60%, like a 15x5, would be much more manageable in terms of physical keys available, although they are virtually unavailable unless you get them as a kit.
@@aidenferguson9355 I can confirm this.
He did an OLKB but he just didn't have the time to learn the layout. There's not that many KB channels that takes the time or just can't spare any to learn ortholinear and I think that's a pretty big problem but I digress
@@chickenpasta7359 To be honest I don't think it's nearly as hard to learn as most people say. I also have the same bad habits as him where I use the wrong fingers to hit the lower row on staggered, and about an hour of typing practice fixed that for me when I just got my planck. Programming and general numbers/symbols took a while longer, but after a week I got those down too. If you really dedicate yourself to it and don't use any other keyboard, you learn pretty fast. I think it's the fact that reviewers have the mindset of "well if I don't like it or don't wanna learn I always have like 100 different keyboards that I can use," whereas when I built my planck, I knew this was what I would be stuck with for the next 5 years at least.
I have the v1 version from the Kickstarter and haven't looked back since. I did have an issue that developed after a few weeks and their customer service was amazing.
I had an issue where the 5 key on the left side started to not respond, I contacted Dygma and they offered me a few options. They were out of stock at the time of contact for full boards, so I could:
1. Wait for them to get more stock in and send it back then for a full replacement.
2. They could send me out a spare left side PCB that I could replace myself. They gave me a written description of what I would need to do and even offered to guide me through it via video chat, although the process was as simple as removing a few screws and watching out for a ribbon cable.
I took option 2 and had my board fully functioning in less than 5 days.
The board overall has been amazing for me. It's fixed my bad typing skills (I also would often use B and Y with the opposite hands - this was fixed within 10 days of using it as my daily driver).
I also have mine split especially far apart with a 3rd party longer USB C - USB C cable. I have the left side on the left of my 900x400mm mouse mat and the right side off of the mat entirely to give myself a huge amount of mouse space as I predominantly use it for FPS games. I can't wait to try the tilting system they're working on and honestly can't see myself ever using another keyboard (unless they bring out a version with F keys, as I do still miss having dedicated keys for functions).
Wow! Sucks you had an issue but sounds like they really pulled through on the customer service end. Great to hear that.
So happy to have seen this. I believe I had seen the board originally on this channel a while ago (somewhere in the background). I went ahead and pre-ordered the V2 and have been rocking it since I believe September. I found that I too had bad typing habits and the learning process was less than a week. I work and game from the same station and I've never been more comfortable while I work. I had two issues and one was directly related to me. My initial delivery came with flex on my left half of the board. This flex offered a small bounce and it wasn't noticeable as I use a large desk mat. Their customer support was really quick to help resolve the issue. The second is updating the neuron. You really need to pay attention to the steps to ensure you update it. Very minor but could help to have better wording. Again, this could simply be a ME issue.
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
LOOVE my Raise. Its a gen 2. I just unplug the right side altogether when I'm gaming. Having 4 buttons under the thumb is a life-saver, adds so much functionality. Here is an interesting thing: I use the bottom two buttons as left and right, the upper left thumb button as up, and caps lock as down. This is actually super useful, to be able to navigate text and code using only my left hand MID-TYPING, rather than take my hands off the keyboard and operate the mouse. Feels a bit awkward at first, but once you get the hang of it, its super nice. Also I just never use capslock, so had no problem rebinding it.
In addition, pretty much all games recognize the arrow keys as bindable keys, so I can bind things like "armor plate" in Warzone, or "ping", and I can cover all game actions using only the one side of the keyboard. The only negative I've experienced so far is sometimes when I unplug just the right side, the board freezes and becomes unresponsive, until I unplug the center link thing. Overall though, I have been very happy with it. Typing with my arms spread feels much more natural and easy on my back muscles than typing with my hands so close together too.
I preordered the raise back in the day, and I've gotta say; the customer support was exceptional.
Sure they're a new company, and of course they cant make miracles happen. But in regards to communication they have been flawless. Apart from the normal annoying "when is my keyboard coming" spam, I had an email correspondence with Dominique, where she went in depth with the keycap sizes, which exact keys were low-profile etc. She even provided a picture of the layout (in my case ISO) with the unit size of each individual key, including the spacebars.
Now you could just watch this video, but back in July 2019 this was everything i could ask for.
Their website is super transparent, and their customer support treated me personally with the same transparency and professionalism,
I got my dygma raise about 3 days ago.
Its an amazing keyboard and came from Spain to Australia in a week.
Overall their customer support is amazing I mentioned some feedback for the site and customer support replied straight away but also helped me find out when a certain add on was back in stock.
These guys take feedback seriously .
I have the v1 version. And will probably get a v2 at the end of next year. But will see.
So for loving the board and the price is hell worth it.
BadSeed should be the first person to receive a gmmk pro
i second this
Never jumped onto one of Brian's sponsors as fast as this one! Love to see a sponsor with a great cause :)
This was an easy one for me as well! I did some digging into Omaze - and while they ARE a for-profit fundraising company - they bring a huuuuge amount of attention and interaction to these charities.
@@badseedtech you love to see it! When i entered i had a look at their site and made an account, company's like that are always great to support
Yo Brian looks awesome but that price is tough. Not saying it isnt worth just a little to expensive for me.
I’ve owned mine for a couple months and love everything he pointed out. They just released an update on the bazecor software to allow macros as well and you can remap any of the keys. The 10 layers is plenty as far as options go. I only use a few of the layers consistently. Very comfortable to touch type using the split. I'm looking forward to the tenting solution as well. I do love the eight keys for the space bars and I use those 4 keys on the left split for other binds other than just space bar. The amount of customization in this thing is really impressive compared to other boards that I own. Can’t wait to see what they do in the future versions and firmware updates.
Nice one! Glad it hit the spot for you. As another comment pointed out - I think the only real drawback is becoming dependent on the board itself.
@@badseedtech I agree. I actually mapped a layer very similar to my Vortex 3 Pok3r. That being said if there are other keyboards with custom mapping you can apply them to Dygma layers as well so it makes it easier (with some setup) to use coming from other keyboards that aren’t as customizable.
Luis? Luis Deilor the coach of one of Fnatic's most successful rosters? Wow I didn't know he's with dygma now. Im so glad he's still very successful in what he's doing right now
The very same! And he's not just *with* Dygma. He IS Dygma. He started it. There's a great write-up on their website about how and why he got into ergonomics.
ive had the raise from pretty much the beginning and have been absolutely in love with it! Luis has reached out to me on different platforms if i upload any picture or anything and is very nice as well. i havent had a single regret about buying this board. like you said, the only issue i see is the lack of keycaps for thethumb keys. other than that.... my keyboard will always be the raise. its been fun watching the software come a long as well.
Lifechanging product. Seriously. I quickly bought a second one just to keep safe when I realized I was never going back
I ordered a Raise a couple of months ago, and I've loved it so far. Yes keycaps are challenging to find sometimes but I love my setup with banana split switches and some SA keycaps from KBDfans. The company itself was amazing at communicating delays and keeping us updated, even when we asked for the tenting solution on twitter. They were always quick to reply. Mind you that they shipped my order back when COVID had really made things difficult. They seem really genuine overall. You should buy the moonlander! I'd be curious to hear your feedback on it as well.
PS: The dygma raise is how I found out about :3ildcat. Now I blame him for getting me into the hobby and my wallet cries. Also love Glarses and love when you show up over there haha
Great review of a great keyboard. Only thing you missed mentioning, which was important for me, is that each half of the Raise is independent. So when gaming, I disconnect the right half and tuck it away. Gives me so much more room for my mouse to move. Also, with the board split at should width, there is plenty of room for mousing in between the two halves. So no reaching out to the right causing stress on the neck and shoulder. People complain of the price, but if you look at custom keebs these days, it's honestly very fairly prices for the quality and benefits you get.
I’ve had the raise since September. I can’t remember keyboards before at this point. Lubed up a harvested set of speed silvers, and I take the keyboard back and forth every day for work. The carrying case is awesome for back and forth. Also looks awesome with the Glorious Aura Keycaps.
Biggest adjustment was remapping the random keys most games have on the right hand side of the board. When I’m gaming, I just scoot the right side away unless I need to type something. But even using layers in games is simple. If you get passed the touch typing (I was in the same with Y and B crossovers) the ergo side really relaxes your shoulders and wrists. Move your mouse between them and you’ll feel it in your wrists. They won’t be achey.
Bought one a year ago and I do not regret buying it at all. Definitely not the cheapest, but one to save up for. Its the ultimate keyboard to have, customer service is great too. Highly recommend.
I got mine on preorder, $269, it’s really nice keyboard, so take a while to learn touch type and I’m still not perfect at it. But I really like the split layout.
@@meese1k Just a quick question. What do you gain from this comment?? Not everyone has the same opinion as you lmao, no need to comment on others choices. Let people live their life and spend their money on what they want and you do you.
@@meese1k sometimes it's just best to not say anything. Wtf it that comment. Just because YOU don't see the value of the board you just gotta shit on someone buying it?
@@meese1k Stick to fortnite videos, no need for negative opinions here.
Good day Ryan, if you have the time could you share any further first impressions you have when you begin using the keyboard? Thank you
Your right. Im sorry. It was insensitive. I will delete it. I really shouldnt have said that. My bad. @@maxgunstone954
Logitech could learn a thing or 8 with this guys.........
(Love all of your videos btw) FYI Brian, that is just a split 65 layout, not ortho. Not hating, just wanted to make sure :)
I picked up Dygma Raise and a UHK v2 a couple days ago, gf and i got both, the UHK is going to be a spare now, she is ordering a raise first thing in the morning. So yeah, Dygma Raise is the hidden gem of 2020 / 2021.
I've been using the dygma raise for like half a year and it's great, when the risers come out i hope we buy them and i hope the new anti slips go on sale.
they are on pre-order now
Dude, your videos are fucking top notch! From the look of the videos to the way you portray yourself on camera it’s all around great.
Just started watching this video when I thought I should mention it. On Kickstarter there is this split keyboard called the Keyboardio 100. It's got about 5 days left and has been super successful. I backed it myself because it looks interesting enough. Thought it should get a mention!!! Hopefully you see this comment in time to check it out.
Hey, incredible video! I have enjoyed each second, and I really appreciate your great attention on detail and honesty. Thanks a lot.
Ive been waiting since april for this review
I just got mine a month ago and I was lucky enough they had just opened it up for orders. I spent a while figuring out what to get and I just kept coming back to this one and I have not regretted it. I absolutely love it and I’m eager for the tenting solution they’re working on
Been using this keyboard since march while Working From Home, incredible keyboard for coding.
proud owner of the v1 right here and I love it!! all the updates are legit and as a demanding user with no biases except using the keyboard I can tell you right now that I'm picking up an additional one in the future.
Thing I like
- quality of the build
- responsiveness (switching between layers NEVER hicks up) and bug free
-FUNCTIONALITY!! every game... having 3 (or 4 if you scroll jump) macros super close and comfy right under your thumb is incredible! Having 8 (!!) macros when editing or writing or anything is also amazing
BTW just managed to map the windows sound mixer to a layer so I can super easily isolate or increase/decrease the volume right on the keyboard. (Y)
Really recommend it
I have the cross finger problem from bad typing habits. And this board fixed most of those after like a day of using it.
How did you find the palm rests, wondering if they slip around or adhere well? I remember seeing it lifting on some others boards.
Board is good value imo, only one on the market that I am aware of that does not require two cables between the units and given it’s a niche within a niche you have to pay if it ticks your boxes
The rests are solid. I hear they had some issues with the early versions and they started going with a new supplier. They've been really solid for me so far.
Brian is worried about gaming with a split 60% meanwhile I'm playing WoW on my Atreus without a numrow or outer column. Don't let your memes be dreams!
Also columnar stagger is way comfier than row stagger once you get used to typing on it, the Ergodox EZ is way too big and has an awkward thumb cluster that some people have reported pain after using for extended periods, the Moonlander isn't too bad and has an adjustable thumb cluster gimmick, and the real stuff is going to be the Iris rev. 5 (factory-soldered with hotswap sockets) and the Elora (a Kyria with a numrow and factory hotswap sockets).
But this stuff all pales in comparison to a Dactyl anyway. You can actually reach the F-keys without moving your wrist on those.
If you want to learn touch-typing I suggest The Typing of the Dead.
Has double-shot pbt shine through keys, hot-swap, and even north facing rgb!!!! Love the all around lighting - a big plus, I do NOT like the Neuron and it needs light animations (also wish it was all brushed - rather than brushed with blasted sides.....).......... god that is still one amazing board!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friends and family pitched in to get me one. It's one It's way now. Super excited
How do u like it?
Well done sir, I'm a new sub. I love how thorough you are.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
I got my silver raise in thier 2nd batch. Love this board. It is my daily work and gaming keyboard. My touch typing has improved. And Dygma team is very responsive to their community. Dygmates are the best and nicest keyboard enthusiasts out there in my opinion.
Good to hear! They seem like a really solid company.
As someone who is currently typing on a split staggered custom which can connect together to form a full board (a Keebio Quefrency Rev. 2), the Raise is definitely really quite special due to the fact that it has a really interesting split spacebar design that I am a huge fan of and it's full alu case design is incredible given the costs of manufacturing this thing have to be astronomically high.
The things that bother me about it is the price (which is a given but is also a crying shame that people have to pay so much more for ergo, but understandable given it's machining two pieces together), and the design of the Neuron. On the Quefrency or any other split, it simply connects by a TRRS cable (a 3.5mm receiver-receiver cable) or some other cable to both halves, then you can connect either half to the host device. This has two advantages, first being the fact that 3.5mm cables can get REALLY long or REALLY short depending on how far apart your arms rest. And secondly, if a TRRS cable goes bad, they're really easy to replace Honestly, it doesn't make any sense to have another 2 points of failure along the way (3 cables + Neuron vs 2 cables).
Honestly, I think for what it is the Raise looks amazing. And as a fan of Deilor's past with Fnatic, I really want to love it. But the price range is just absurd to me, and the neuron as yet another thing that I have to have working to get a functional split layout is just a bit too much for me.
I think the Neuron is a great design decision. It is where all the config is stored, and allows to plug and config any side without the other. It doesn't give you any additional issues. You can use cables of different lengths on either side, and it even unlocks a unique feature: you can have two (or more) different Neurons for the same keyboard, enabling very differentiated sets of 10 layers. For example, you can leave one Neuron permanently connected at work, and another one at home, configured for different workflows and OSes.
I really love that you don’t change your review since they sent you it. Many channels get sent something, they always say the BEST things about it. Thank you for the honest reviews! Keep going!
I got the ergodox and learning the Ortholinear was definitely a trip.
Once i got used to it, I love it.
Dygma Nuts
Thanks for providing a well-crafted channel. I purchased this keyboard after watching your review. I didn't know a split, ergo keyboard of this quality existed.
You should do a tour of your setup!
Its in the works, actually!
in this episode BadSeed learns why people are so geeked by splits/40s/ortho and QMK
You should check out some of the kits from places like boardsource - lily58, corne, 4x12, stuff like that
Which is better : This with tenting kit or Moonlander (comes with tenting option out of the box)?
Dygma balls
The thumb keys are super cool! Having 4 keys additionally to Alt you can use with the thumb is awesome. This has bothered me about normal keyboards ever since I started playing R6 siege where when you just use the default keys your thumb does literally nothing most of the time.
How easy did you find it to accidentally hit the lower keys when pressing the upper keys there?
Yeah I'm really digging it for that. And its actually really easy to avoid pressing the wrong row because they are tiered so hard. It goes from standard switch and cap down to low pro switch and like a chicklet cap. Took zero time to adjust to and its so nice having the extra remaps there.
I can confirm. I've had the Raise for some months and I NEVER hit the lower thumb keys by accident. It's not an issue at all.
@BadSeed Tech
Again you impress with your knowledge and when to admit that you dont no all.
Keep up the HONEST AND INFORMATIVE WORK
Wow, meaningful innovation in the keyboard market. Love it
I love mine, amazing keyboard!
Great review! I've been looking for a split board for a while and this looks like it will work great! Only problem is that I don't see the Kailh silent pink switches as an option for purchase.
I've been using a Raise for the last 6 months and I can say you will not regret purchasing this board! As far as the Kaihl Silent Box Pink switches go, their customer service is really top notch, so if you dont see them as an order option you can order your keyboard, then immediately email them about your order to make sure they send you the Box Pinks instead of whatever placehilder you configured the Raise with on the "Build Your Dagmar Raise" page
Your videos are awesome bro fr idk how u make so much stuff with such high quality
Amazing concept for sure but I cannot give up the function keys, this is something I learned by trying out a 60% over a year.
The over lengthy space bar need to go for modern era keyboards as everybody is gaming these days.
I love it. I have a dactyl manuform, so I'm not in the market, but if i was in the market for split staggered layout keyboards. Multiple thumb keys is such a game changer.
I type trash too bro. My right middle finger is all over the place. Lol
Such a sick review
Great video as always! Love to see this kind of innovation and love from small companies!
Would definitely be interested in seeing your take on the ergodox line of keyboards.
I don't need it, I don't need it, I definitely don't need it..........
Maybe you don't need to need it.
You're welcome xD
Awsome video Brian! I'll probably grab one of those this summer! More ergo!!
I cant wait to use my epbt ramenstop keycaps on this
Will you do a small update on this with the new tenting kit attached? Or even on Nebula as an exclusive
Do you write the entire script for each video? I add bullet points on topics but I'd like to hear your perspective
I used to, but its about 75% written to 25% off the top now. The main reason I went that way was so I could stop memorizing as many lines. I only used a prompted for a couple vids a LONG time ago and hated it - felt really unnatural both to me and to the viewer. Started scripting so I'd know ahead of time exactly what I had to deliver to camera. Usually the cutaway to the alternate set now is off the top - just going in with a bullet point. I think this is how I'll roll for awhile bc it adds a nice break for the viewer - like a "real talk" section mid presentation. Also makes it REALLY easy to punch in something I got wrong or needed to expand on in the final edit.
I got my Raise today, and so far I really like it. Sadly my typing speed has dropped from 50 to 25 WPM as I picked up some poor touch typing habbits in the last 30 years! I really like the design and the ability to keep both halves at shoulder width and being able to angle both halves to exactly match the angle of my hands. It feels unusual at first, but I'm gonna stick with it. This is also my first 60% kbd which will also take some getting used to. The quality of the RGB diffusers is fantastic too. Glad I went with this one. I may eventually try out the Moonlander as well, but I need to get used to this one for a few months first at least.
Hey man love your reviews i watched all of them and helped me to pick some of my gear like my keyboard and mouse, but u really got to tell me what RGB LED lights u have behind your desk this looks clean !
Thanks! I used to use Philips Hue but now they're Aputure MC lights on the desk with a Nanlite 4ft Tube on the overhead.
I use half an ergodox for gaming, use layers for different game layout. Works well. Still use a 65% keyboard for normal typing
Man I love split keyboards, but I just don't like fixed wrist rests. My wrists never touch my desk so I really wouldn't need one and sticking one on there just doesn't seem like it for me.
As a Destiny 2 main since the Beta this makes me INCREDIBLY HAPPY that youre doing this !! THANK YOU BRIAN Just donated
I love my Raise! Will buy another when I start working from office..
I've been looking at this since they started up, but never pulled the trigger on it. But I will some time this year I think.
I've been looking into a split keyboard for gaming so I only have to use the left side when gaming for more mouse room but I'd prefer a cheaper option
Will we ever get more amp and/or dac reviews on this channel? Love your stuff!
Dac Amp reviews are a hard maybe bc We've really found the ones that work best at a couple different price points. But headphones? Absolutely.
@@badseedtech Cool! Hows the new discord coming along? Got any updates on the launch date of the overhauled server?
Woah nice review. What are those lights in your setup? it looks really goood the purple and blue behind ur monitor
Thanks! The lower light are Aputure MC and the overhead is a Pavotube from Nanlite.
Dygma balls hahahhaha
End me
I thought for awhile if it would be over the line to just title the video that.
@@badseedtech It 100% would have hahah
Great review and seems really genuine! It's really too bad that there's no tilt or even breathing led features for a 300+ keyboard.
EPOMAKER GK68X, Alloy Origins Core, or the Drugod Taurus. Which is best and why?
digma balls
How did you find the layer software read a few reviews that said they had issues with it?
If they grow to make a wireless 2.4Ghz version for gaming that would be a winner for me
I would love for you to use a Jane or a keycult so you have the ultimate high end customs as reference point to compare all these boards to.
Hey badseed! Just bought my son a anne pro 2 for Christmas. He said he's wanted one for a few months now. I don't know if its a good buy or not. I bought it on Amazon for $109.00. My son said he wants blue gateron switches. It would be great if you could get back to me and tell me a little about this keyboard. Thanks.
Nothing wrong with it. Especially at that price. The wireless is the selling point over the other 60%. They've also corrected a lot of the issues and made a lot of revision that older versions suffered. The one I reviewed I think was like in the beginning of 2019. Its my understanding they've come a long way since.
@@badseedtech Sounds good to me, thanks!!
consistent, quality uploads
Can't wait for the Rama works Kara!!
Badseed please do a review on the new BenQ Zowie XL2546K Monitor. Your review was amazing on the original XL2546 and I would love to see your thoughts on the XL2546K. Keep up the amazing content.
Very cool. Odd though that it is called the 'Raise', but you can't raise it (yet).
I would have strongly considered this but I have had already some carpal tunnel related issues before and really was just looking for something that let's me raise my keyboard so my hands are not flat on the table (main reason for my specific case) otherwise this would have been probably my first choice.
Is the numpad practical? I work on spreadsheets often
So I know it's been a while since you made this video but you should see if the kinesis freestyle tenting system works for this keyboard. It's on Amazon for about 30 bucks. Also, they have a cheaper split keyboard that lacks the cool multiple spacebars or the ability to put it together again.
@DygmaLab Have you ever think about creating a dedicated gaming pad? I know they are not popular anymore, but I know a Call of Duty streamer by the name of IcemanIsaac use your keyboard like a gaming pad.
i hate the 60% layer i hope they bring a full version
