Imagine my surprise when I took apart my $30 keyboard and found it actually had foam in it! It was pretty thin and didn't seem to be doing much so I put in another layer and the difference in the sound is night and day! Thanks to videos from you, Switch and Click, Squashy, and others, I got the confidence to do this very simple mod and it's such a big difference, so thank you! (now I need to lube the stabs and do something about the spacebar..)

@mr.guillotine3766 8 месяцев назад

@@rinnoX1 Tezarre TK61..which is usually on Amazon for like $30 (or was, I think it's mostly sold out these days, but th TK63 is around the same price). I didnt expect it to have some foam in it at all for that price. It had case foam and even some plate foam (which I didn't mess with). Boards have a lot of decent features these days even at the really low end. Hot swap, some foam, easy to mod..for $30!

I love the little screen on my Meletrix Zoom75. This may sound silly, but it has a little notepad where I can keep reminders about hotkeys to applications I use and the like, which is huge for my old and senile brain. I also like being able to display my CPU temp when I'm gaming to ensure that I don't have problems with my cooling setup. I'm really looking forward to the next Meletrix, the Zoom98. I hate group buys, but every one that I've been part of with Meletrix has gone really well, so I can't really complain too much.

@itsyaboikirbo 8 месяцев назад

if that board had an f row it would be perfect

@cyberpxl 8 месяцев назад

Definitely, no f row is kind of a deal breaker

@lorenzogazzola328 8 месяцев назад

Idk know how people's can live without F row. For me 60 and 65% should be a dead format. Even for gamers, if you do not Plan to ONLY play FPS for the next 10 years the F row it's often used

@mrukeeee 8 месяцев назад

I am using this keyboard rn. Modded it a little bit. But all I can say is that the switches will determine this keyboards potential since you can't play around it too much since it already has like 70% of the keyboard mods should have and I love it honestly. I can put my Gifs but the software is rly not that good tbh. I hope they'll improve it :)

@cyberdsrswitch4658 8 месяцев назад

hey have you got some recommendations for switches? im using pre lubed gateron yellows and i love them but im interessted if there are better ones. im tbh only using it for rythm games so if there are special nice switches do you know them? and also did your shadow x also come with pre lubed stabilizers?

Nice video! And it seems like a good enough board. As for the screen, I have a Steelseries Apex Pro that has a similar screen and I almost never use it. It's only useful in the rare cases I want to check some keyboard setting because we're usually not looking at the keyboard when gaming or working. Still a cool gimmick to show to your friends. I did like the sound of the board, tho. Keep it up! 🔥

@DarkSansTV 8 месяцев назад

Usually what I look for in a keyboard is just aesthetics but also durability. You can't imagine the pain of grabbing a fresh new keyboard, only for the keys to start dying after the first month. I can't trust Hyper X for this reason because my friend got me this keyboard and the D key on it is dying, having used A and D for my rhythm game of choice, osu. Now I need a whole new keyboard because Hyper X decided it was a good idea to cut the cost of making the switches actually durable instead of having a decent switch that I can come back to when it finally gives out about 5 years later when I accidentally yank the cable too hard.

@rudivandoornegat2371 11 дней назад

Essential for every keyboard for me would be a few programmable layers, the option of a 3-split space-bar and sound versions to choose from or the manufacturer should at least inform buyers about the sound profile (thocky, clicky, clacky, or creamy).

@lo.0p336 8 месяцев назад

I do my first mecanical keyboard and was working good and i was freaking happy about it until today, idk but now have some inverted keycaps like the keycaps of ( backspace ) with the keycaps of ( \ ) and the keycaps of going for ( desktop ) and the keycaps of ( ALT ) I will appreciate the help.

@EmilioDiStefano-rx9hn 5 месяцев назад

The Langtu LT84/LT104, the Attack Shark K86 and the Xvx m87 pro are some keyboards with similar features and a f row, however they aren't the best quality.

@x9x9x9x9x9 8 месяцев назад

You going to review the 8bitdo keyboard? I really hope so. I got one and I am curious what you think about it. I did foam mod mine. Getting the back off is not easy but can be done using an isesamo as a pry tool. Also you have to remove the glued on feet to get to the screws which is annoying but overall I don't think it's bad for the price.

@wokzhongson 8 месяцев назад

I bought my TH80 for $65 and modded the absolute crap out of it, and now sounds better than a stock keychron Q1 now edit: also, the plastic cover on the TH80 had the plastic edges extending too far down and making contact with the PCB and giving the board almost no flex, so one of the things I had to do was cut all the unnecessary plastic off.

@definitelynotatworkrightnow 6 месяцев назад

Honestly, the LCD screen is in such a spot that I would ignore that I wouldn't even use it. Ideally though it would be as wide as the width between 4 and 8 on a TKL and the height of two R1s, so it would actually be useful for anything I would put on there. From battery life status, a clock, a goofy animation in the style of old pinball machines, and so on. That said, the keyboard would also cost $400 or I'd have to be forced to use Logitech-proprietary switches and software. Blech.

What I'm looking for: white - 2.4Ghz Wireless - aluminum preferably - anything from 65 to 80% - RGB - hot swap - preferably ISO, but ANSI also works - Budget is up to 250€ for the entire build options I am considering rn are the Zoom75 (if it's even possible to get), Akko 5075B Plus, Royal Kludge M75 also close to giving up and just buying a Deathstalker v2 or Roccat Vulcan Mini Air should they be on sale :´)

I'm always surprised by folks who may complain about keyboard cases being made out of plastic under one video, but at the same time literally spending over $400 for plastic keyboards such as Moonlander, Glove80, and Kinesis 360 😂

@JNitroxx 8 месяцев назад

Those are supposed to be ergo keebs and they are expensive because of that. Not because of the materials used. Maybe the Mode Envoy would be a better comparison. But again, the Envoy uses a CNC PC case that is much better than ABS plastic. I'm not trying to say this board is bad, but there's usually good reasons for a keeb to be more expensive than others.

@xXxMarcieslafxXx 8 месяцев назад

On that note: I managed to get the Moonlander to sound a lot better by putting PE foam in the case, tape modding the PCB, adding Poron switch pads and using Gateron Milky yellows instead of the cherry browns it shipped with. Also portability is a factor with this keyboard, so making it with aluminium might have not been the best choice.

@Mokkatomic 6 месяцев назад

What were they thinking with that ridiculous knob? Serves a function that should have been a button/switch or at least behind a press toggle on a volume knob, and you'd have to be a grade A nihilist to put a knob on the home cluster but keep the insert instead of the pgup
