I may regret buying it, it's so quiet, I'll find out tomorrow when it arrives to replace my Hyper X Allow elite 2 that is dropping keys and double clicking other keys.

bro i hate the volume knob cause when i try to increase the volume or decrease it, it increase by +4 ? Previous keyboard only increase by +2 which personally prefer. Also how do i remap the knob volume button if once pressed for muting computer volume ?

@PaulSharpy
@PaulSharpy 11 дней назад
Solid review, I'm looking for a budget gaming keyboard myself and saw this layout and really liked it. I like how you discussed the ability to customize, but I do think you sounded a bit harsh on it for a $60CAD budget keyboard that allows customization, which you don't see on every budget keyboard. I'm not a huge keyboard guy but I wouldn't expect someone in the market for this keyboard like myself is going to expect it to be similar to a keyboard more than twice the cost. Flow and style of the review was good and I was easily able watch through it, you were straight to the point and touched on a lot of what people would be wanting to know. I think if you mentioned comparable options that may be better or equivalent, and showed a bit of the software or mentioned if it was good or bad it would make this review better.

Can you try the RGB in reaction mode? Where the LED only shines in the key that you press? I suspect this line has LED ghosting where all other LED on the same row as the one being pressed is also faintly shining. Some even shine quite clearly.

I have both the Lucky65 and the Sugar65 (I´m using the Sugar65 to type this) and they are both good boards. True, they are not the highest quality alu boards on the market, but they are a good entry point. Basically you can consider the Womier SK65 as either a Lucky65 with a volume knob (the Luck65 has no knob) or as a tri-mode Sugar65 (the sugar65 is wired only). So if you want the best of both worlds, this a is the one to get.

@@user-no1df2ph1c It all depends where you plug in the dongle. If you plug it in within line of sight of the keyboard, you shouldn´t have an issue with delay. But if you want to do some gaming, it´s always a good idea to use it wired in that situation.

Good thoughts re: what is a budget keyboard. It’s really hard to judge the value of manufacturing tolerances etc and features are hard to value especially when mixing and matching. But as far as how the experience is, well, that’s what we’re here for.

Can you do what you can do on the red dragon fizz which is have ‘the key has two functions holding down is one type and clicking is one type.’?for instance, you could bind that ‘clicking’ left control would make it so you the click the button for crouch and holding left control would make you go prone.

Honestly would like this in a brighter white backlight. Beek looking for a keyboard to use in our instructor consoles that has replacable keys and switches, backlight, a volume wheel, and removable USB, or the K654 with a wheel I'd really like the logitech orion 610 if it had a replacable cable, and was slightly narrower. Also its apparently no longer sold and the K845 removed the wheel in favor of a key combo that requires 2 hands. I'd love a successor to the tessoro gram XS but with a volume wheel, that keyboard was SO bright despite being only USB micro B powered.

@LastSecBloomer
@LastSecBloomer Месяц назад
No VIA. 1.2mm flex-cut PCB with a soft flex-cut plate makes it hard to mount switches properly and sounds leak everywhere so you're basically forced to tape the PCB. The screen makes the ball-catch system semi-pointless because you still have to unplug the cable for it and I can already see people accidentally ripping it out. And God only knows what it sounds like when you take out the foams, even partially, because almost no one is testing it in that configuration, and with foams it sounds just like any other foamed up board. Honestly, I'd rather get the Bridge75 because it looks less tacky, has VIA and it sounds semi-decent without foams...
