@@mohamaddannaoui382 Nope, its meant to be taken as something like "Its so small its actually smaller than my will to live, which is pretty low" If he ment larger he would say something like "That space bar is still bigger than my will to live"
@@hdofu Would probably feel better than genuine Cherry switches, I mean since their patent expired other companies (Kailh, Gateron etc) has proven that isn't a hard thing to achieve. With the right kind of wood.. why not.
I feel like if they were a bit thicker and had a detachable cable they might look nice. Also, maybe make the cable itself out of something different than plain plastic. Perhaps a braided hemp coating and... hmm, what for the ends of it? Maybe some kind of metal, I don't know. Edit: Wait, just make the end grip out of wood! So, it would be a nice thick wooden keyboard with a detachable cable with a wood grip around the ends and light-brown braided hemp for the outside of the wire. That would look nice.
It wasn't made for gamers or even enthusiasts. It was obviously made for for "those" people. The kind that pay much for design and... old school Mac pro buyers. Lol
@@exiledwolf2601 I love those builds myself. I plan on doing one someday. Obviously, building yourself keeps the price way down. I wouldn't pay that much for a wooden keyboard though.
Then it shouldn't be a usable keyboard. All they did was waste a shit ton of money on a keyboard barely anyone is ever gonna buy, and getting $1400 from a couple of egotistical rich people isn't making a profit, either. I'm sure any sane person, even one who is rich, would just get a better functioning keyboard and have it customized to have wooden keys and a wooden base instead, as that'll deffinitely cost less. Charity exists for those who don't know what to do with all of the extra money they're making.
$1,400 and it doesn't even have mechanical key switches? ...but why? All that craftsmanship and attention to detail is practically wasted when it's put on such a crappy foundation. This is like the keyboard equivalent of fitting a shitty car with rims that cost more than the actual car.
Prob cause it would be a $1500 keyboard at that point... But perhaps they might sell more of them (with the appropriate mechanical switches) at that point.
I would guess this keyboard isn't aimed at gamers or keyboard enthusiasts, but rather people who care about their office design, have a lot of money and don't type that much. For that group only the wireless option is missing, otherwise it looks amazing. (again: as long as you look for a usable design product and don't care about money)
SSchithFoo And the bamboo barely has any nutrition, so they have to eat a crapload of it to get the "bear" minimum, amd then sleep. And heres the thing, their biological systems can still process meats, they just dont want to eat any.
"Hey mom, so I got a new keyboard today and I wanted to make it look original can I glue the Scrabble pieces to it and use them as keycaps?" Mom: "Sure son, that game sucks anyway"
Stop those cancerous puns, you son of a birch! I ain't leafing you alone until you stop making puns like these. On second thought, maybe your puns aren't that bad and I'm just barking up the wrong tree. Still bad puns though, tree harder.
People like you don’t understand products like this. There is nothing about this that’s worth it. This is for someone who has more money than they ever wouldn’t know what to do with. They want something that’s an art piece. Like people who pay millions of dollars for pieces of art and sculpture.
I have egg on my face now. I had no idea, my brain autocorrects. I must have a stick up my ass. I feel like a real woody. Now I'm going to take my leaf.
$1400 can buy 4 Ergodox EZ Glow (RGB backlights) ergonomic, hot-swappable key switches/key cap, fully reprogrammable mechanical keyboards that have great mechanical key switches from the start, including wrist rests and tenting kits. And then you can spend $1400 (I’m guessing shipping isn’t free!) for 1 wooden keyboard that, while it may look nice as a piece of art, is still a cheapskate membrane keyboard that’ll wear out quickly, is mushy, and bugs will love it! I do like nice wooden things, where it makes sense. This does not make sense. They’re wasting that fine wood and all the hours of a craftsman to attach that art onto a crappy membrane keyboard internal guts.
I don't really understand the Hacoa keyboard. Why even make one if it has no mechanical keys, no features, basically skimp on everything quality wise on the keys? It's already 1400 bucks, those who buy it have plenty of money to spare to have better keys.
GrimmyReaper The thing is that it’s not made for guys that would care if you have mechanical keys. It’s made to sit on a designer table in a 2 digit Million Apartment in Tokyo. Guys like that don’t want to hear there keyboard or think about deckflex they want the best design so there interior designer won’t get migrane.
Hacoa: next time, PLEASE make a keyboard with mechanical switches in a similar matter of the craftsmanship with a braided cable. A useful work of art is ALWAYS AWESOME
Some times I wonder what your budget for your videos is. Do you always have a 1,4k+ budget, or do you sometimes use "leftover-budget" from less expensive videos?
Wait, did I just hear the words ''Japanese'' and ''Forest'' in the same video without Logan Paul's screw-up being brought up? I'm impressed. Nice work guys.
$1400 for a wooden keyboard... The engraving on the keycaps can all be done automatically, the cuts as well... If anything, it's a disgrace that they think a keyboard made of wood would ever even be worth $1400, just because "handcrafted". If every "handcrafted" products were to be that expensive, we'd all be making our own shit and selling it like they used to before the industrial revolution. (heck, the keyboard is clearly not handcrafted for shit. It might be hand assembled at best.)
And even if it was fully hand crafted by one person (Despite it seeming not, especially when you look at the HACOA preview videos) i wouldn't say the wood would be worth anything $1,400 even if it was practical. I wouldn't say the price is worth even being good looking enough as a novelty that it'd be worth that much money to put on Display, and it's not like it's from a brand everyone would look at for Novelty Keyboards, and it's too pricey to be worth the practicality, that it has, but it's a novelty item, and i would never pay that much money even if it had braided cables and RGB.
For some reason, this immediately made me think of an old episode of Tiny Toons, where Montana Max was destroying the rain forest. He would turn an entire giant tree into one...elevator button...
... Why is this even a question, "Potato" keyboards include membrane keyboards with rubber domes, or you could just get a cheap but good fully mechanical keyboard for at the least $25.
It makes sense considering Japanese text isn't delimited by spaces. They'd use the spacebar mostly for converting kana to kanji so it's probably more useful to use the extra space for additional keys instead.
"So we're a Japanese company making Japanese keyboards at a ridiculously high price where you expect the best Japan has to offer." "So we're using Topre switches?" "No, just gut a 10 dollar brandless keyboard"
That's an odd thing to notice... Also, I don't really see it. There's small wounds on there, the hands don't seem to match the wrists, they're rather pale and appear relatively weak, the veins pop out too much and the skin seems pretty thin. And that's ignoring the fact that, as others have pointed out, these are either female hands, or Linus has a bit of a nail polish fetish going on... I'm curious to hear why you seem to find them so fascinating (says the guy who just wrote half a dissertation on them, lol).
For that price I would also expect braided detachable cable that can be used with any of the keyboard's USB-C ports (which also acts as passthroughs); bluetooth & wireless options; customisable mechanical switches; LED backlight; Li-ion battery; and a dedicated 2080Ti in it.
Maybe if they used MX Black, and then hid the LEDs behind the lock keys to give it a glow around when active, and a mahogany back plate to kill the flex. MX black is a typer's switch, and the wood would naturally dampen the click.
In the custom keyboards scene, flex is wanted on boards for a better sound and softer bottom out. People buy expensive polycarbonate plates for that purpose.
I got the bamboo keyboard randomly a few months back.(Probably one of my stupidest impulse buys), and unlike theirs, it was almost unusable. The WESD keys were so close together, and wobbled so much that they would scrape against each other. It was plagued with sticking keys all over, and the space bar was actually super light, resting just above actuation all the time to the point where resting a thumb on it would sometimes activate it. It is a cute addition to the collection, but it is unlikely to ever see use again. So just be warned if you wanted to get one. Quality control is obviously an issue.
>Reviews Japanese keyboard >Complains about the JIS layout used in Japan Edit:Also those who complain about the 1400$ price tag has yet to see the custom mechanical keyboard hobby, granted it is a lot but still relatively high figures for a keyboard. Edit 2: its a real hobby my current keyboard is the most expensive thing on my pc set up Shoutout to r/mk
Venicheeeee if it's marketed for the us , then they should be using American layout , but if it's marketed for Japan then , yeah sure. It's like someone sending you a product with a European plug or Chinese plug instead of us .
$1400 was the price for my PC, monitor, peripherals - and there was some decent amount left to tip the extremely dedicated technician who helped me assemble the thing!!!
It is a normal japanese layout. Most countries have their own keyboard legends (AFAIK, Canada has at least three, Canadian Multilingual Standard, Canadian French, and Inuktitut Multilingual). Most use the international ISO key layout, of which the japanese use a variant. ISO is actually superior to the US ANSI ayout in all use cases that don't exclusively involve unilingual anglophones.
Japanese language uses no spaces at all..... This is 1:1 an japanese keyboard layout. It was not intended for american use. Example sentence: 戦場ヶ原ひたぎは、クラスにおいて、いわゆる病弱な女の子という立ち位置を与えられている── the spaces at the comma is solely the Comma itself. As you see, you could write an essay in Japanese without a single spacebar-hit.
you can build a mechanical keyboard with a wood case and wood key caps for less than a third of the money of the expensive one and you also get to choose a switch that you like instead of being stuck with membrane
The thing about that keyboard being that expensive is that since they're 100% hand made and they only make one per day, it's practically impossible for them to sell for less and still make a profit. Having said that, a keyboard can't be all looks and zero functionality. For a price tag like that I'd expect much more, hell, even for 200 I'd expect much more.
I also have a keyboard that worth like 1200 USd, but instead of made of wood, it has an in built i7 7700hq, a gtx 1060, 16 GB of RAM, and even a full hd display. Seriously, who thh hell buys a keyboard for 1400 USd
Got an Azio Retro Classic in elm wood. Now that's a wooden keyboard to fall in love with. It looks classy on my desk. a bit as if it came straight out of a Western movie. Works for my kind of gaming/creating too. I only wish they would make a silent version for us night owls. I got people sleeping on both sides of my room, so that's a bit of a problem. But I guess most people take it for that typewriter feeling so the matching sound is part of the experience.
