    Best Tech Reviewer out there right now. Bar none. Too many of the "big" review channels feel stale. They take beautiful b-roll, read the specs like they're a Fiverr Voice Actor with a Blue Yeti, and say little-to-nothing about the product.
    You don't waste our time with trivial information that can be found on any product page unless it's actually worth mentioning. Your b-roll is gorgeous. You give us your honest opinion and predict questions/ arguments that make sense. And your narration is unrivaled in the tech review space. Seriously.

      The browns have a tactile bump before they bottom out when you press a key, and the reds are smooth actuation with no bump, I play more video games so I prefer not feeling a little bump when I press a key but if you type alot some people prefer that feeling.

    "Keyboard System" - that's a good descriptor. Great review.
    I just picked up the Everest Max on a 50% off sale (!!) and am very impressed with its quality and capabilities.
    A couple of thoughts:
    I do think the USB cable allowing the numpad to connect remotely to the keyboard is about an inch too short - I can't quite place the numpad above the keyboard - but eBay has me covered here.
    Also, currently if the screensaver is set to clock you can't use the wheel to change volume (why?!!). You need to dig into the wheel menu to change it to "volume". FAQ suggests this may change. It really needs to.
    Finally, for PC peripheral history buffs, the first detachable numpad i am aware of is from the Microsoft SideWinder X6 Keyboard, from 2008. Mine still works (Win 11 still supports it even!).

    Only other keyboards I've seen that's done the numpad on the left side was one of the bloody brand keyboards and an asus keyboard. I've wanted more companies to do that because I think it's better for not just productivity but for gamers who would still like a full size board. Really cool to see someone else doing this.

    Okay so here we go, I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible: This keyboard is AMAZING, so glad they are doing this, this is EVERYTHING we wanted from the Corsair K100 and MORE. Complaints about this keyboard are for me first of all the detachable numpad, I get some people don't like it and that's fine, however I think they should make another version where the numpad is fully attached, that will make it a bit smaller as well, remove that pattern by the keys which you already said, they need to add dedicated macro keys such as on the Corsair K100 you got G1-G6. I like those and think they should do that, the dedicated media controls are amazing along with the rest of that unit, I will say though I also wish there was a version with it just permanently there in the top right corner or something and the back be a little raised up, the RGB a little brighter and fix the problem with the pure white not being able to show on this because I love that color, the wrist rest would obviously be the full length of the keyboard, and everything else is amazing, I hope to see Corsair do EXACTLY this in the future at a good price and I will easily buy that, another big thing here is only ONE cable with a USB passthrough, that is amazing and needs to be done, it's almost 2021 come on companies

    The ping is noticeable and the Cherry MX Silent red are not silent at all. I actually think that the regular reds sound better in this video. Great to know there are ISO Spanish options. Those are extremely hard to get. I'm from Costa Rica and my custom build was impossible to get spanish ISO keycaps!

    • @badseedtech

    It looks pretty good, but one thing I still don't like is the minimum cable length with the separate numpad. The cable connection should run on the top and be drawn back by a leaf spring.
    USB is petty overused in the product. It likely drives up the cost and it would be better if the separate numpad would be usable with other keyboards and laptops. Pack a separate and stadalone numpad beside a laptop in a carrying case, ideally.
    According to an other YT review, a card reader can be used with a top USB port.

    It would be a neat thing for MMO players to be able to turn the detachable num pad into a macro keyboard with G1, G2, etc. Keycaps. Basically making it like the old corsair with a bunch of dedicated macro keys. Do you know if you can remap the num pad keys to macros?

    Sorry to correct you -> the first keboard to my knowledge to have swappable numpad was the Tesoro Tizona (Numpad was sold as an accessory). Not a well known keyboard, but it's at least 5 or 6 years old now
    As a plus for this keyboard: the only other ones i know with HotSwap and ISO support are the GMMK line, so it seems like a great pick for EU/UK buyers that want both those features.

      I think you can use a longer type C to type C cable if you want to.

    Mmmm...nice, but why would i get this just for the "media deck" when we can wait for the GMMK pro?

      Gmmk pro is 3 times better than this at 2/3 the price

    I am excited about this but for other reasons, this means Corsair will soon follow hopefully doing a co-lab with them and I can't wait for what's to come with keyboards, hopefully some major advancements very soon, now with my K95 I will just wait for it to happen

    I don't know if they'd do a holiday discount, being it just came to market. But I'll be keeping an eye out. 🧐
