@MangoTangoFox Год назад

The long control I would say is actually a really good feature for the intended user of these. Many FPS players angle their keyboard with the right side closer to them for better positioning of their left arm while their face is close to the display, and for more mouse room, which naturally shifts their pinkie closer to the space bar. Hitting alt with the left thumb is also a common control in games and this moves that closer to the thumbs resting position. With that layout change, both are in more usable positions for both a straight and angled arm for playing games. The fact that we even use keyboards for gaming now is completely and totally arbitrary, and if we were designing something today, the CTRL key would not have been short like that... Games need extra commands pressed/held with similar frequency as SHIFT, so it would have been designed to be long like that... it even makes it in-reach for ESDF users.

Use English C instead of Shift, makes crouch switching to slow walking much easier. With Shift you have to awkwardly glide to reach Cntrl key. Ex Global Elite in CS tip.

@MangoTangoFox 8 месяцев назад

@@IrrationalDelusion Yeah I personally have always used C for crouch toggle. I forget which game taught me it originally, maybe Borderlands 1?

Bought a Corsair K100 a while back, despite coming in at $130 for mx speed & slightly higher for the optical the quality is great. They finally added the standard bottom row so keycaps are actually swappable, rgb is plenty bright (along with the addition of rgb around the sides & back), still has the aluminum plate, and the addition of a multi purpose wheel... which i must say... may be imperfect but its still a nice option.. i actually find myself using it.

So, I have a hate/love relationship with gaming keyboards. Considering "the hobby", they are actually on the cheaper side and widely available, especially if you live in Europe, where choices for ordering KB stuff are somehow more limited. On the hate side, their main selling point seems to be that they have RGB and some macros, pretty much features I personally don't use :D. Then they are made quite cheaply considering the price point as you pointed out with it being plastic and stuff being mostly non-replaceable. PS: I like to hit left control the fleshy edge of my hand opposite my thumb (we tried to find the proper name for that a while ago, but couldn't find anything non-completely-medical), less contortions of the pinky finger and feels more ergonomic to me.

@spellfox_ Год назад

Hitting control like that sounds extremely awkward... I feel like I would hit at least 5 additional keys by accident if I tried that.

@simrock_ Год назад

@@spellfox_ I have short fingers, so that part of my hand hovers over the button most times, so the movement is essentially either just rotating my left wrist a bit and depressing the button on the outer edge or actually pushing it with the part where the pinky finger separates from the palm of my hand, depending on where my hand is currently hovering. Sorta hard to explain.

@HappyBeezerStudios Год назад

@@simrock_ Sounds like the equivalent of a claw grip, but for keyboards. I have big hands, but I just tried how that could work, and I can see the idea. But for me it makes it unnecessary hard to hit the bottom key row. But hey, if it works, it works. I'm also not into all that flashy RGB stuff, the only reason for me to get something with it would be to set it to a fixed color of my choice. Macros are nice to have, not just for games but also for content creation or office work. I tend to keep ctrl + w on my mouse (closes the current browser tab) Basically all the "gamer" stuff is nice to have, but not for what they advertise it as.

@spekky2x Год назад

the build quality to price ratio of gaming keyboards was always so strange to me... corsair k100 being $300 for an absolute garbage keyboard is a standout to me (and this $270 asus board being plastic... wild) would be interesting to see if you could do any modding to these keyboards (or any other off the shelf gaming boards) like tape modding, etc. (cheap stuff) to make them sound better. great content as always hipyo :)

I still to this day struggle to find anyone who uses CTRL for anything other than very specific scenario actions. Everyone I know as always used C ever since it was the standard crouch key in old games. F for use key since GTA, Q and E for leaning and Alt for prone. I myself always found CTRL very bad to use, because often times while playing FPS games you are already holding Shift or hitting it frequently

@jessebensen3569 Год назад

@@matheusbee3441 It depends on the game for me. If a game doesn't allow you to sprint while crouching, I prefer to use ctrl as it allows me to maintain full wasd movement without sacrificing anything. If you can sprint while crouching, I tend to use x. My hand wrests above the wasd keys with a slight angle such that retracting my pointer finger causes it to land directly on the x key.

The bigger ctrl key is to make it easier for gamers to hit it because it’s the key for crouching in games.

@matheusbee3441 Год назад

Who the hell uses CTRL to crouch in games? C is for crouching, Alt is for proning and shit for running. Why? because sometimes (alot) you need to transition from crouch to onfoot while running and using the pinky to hit ctrl while holding shift is awkward as hell. C or X is just easier to hit while not clogging movement

@@JosephReference yes, latency is different from polling. Polling is how often the keyboard can send a signal to the PC. Latency is the time between the key's actuation and the signal actually being ready to send. Most gaming keyboards are either wired, or use 2.4Ghz wireless with implementations like Logitech's Lightspeed/Corsair Quantum/etc, which tend to have the same/lower latency as wired. WIreless non-gaming keyboards tend to use Bluetooth instead for compatibility, which is fine for everyday typing, but 100ms can be very off-putting and feel unresponsive while gaming.

Also, you can't use the numpad standalone, which I prefer, and wish I'd known that before I bought it.

@jessebensen3569 Год назад

The average gamer is never going to remove their key-caps for anything other than cleaning. If a key-cap is damaged, they will order a replacement from Asus. With that in mind, it makes sense that they would use a switch key-cap connection to provide better stability while sacrificing customization. Pretty much all wireless gaming keyboards are going to use a plastic bottom as it improves the connection by a significant margin. Yes, it is also cheaper to manufacture, but it provides a genuine benefit to the consumer. I feel like Asus kind of fucked up by sending a gaming keyboard to an enthusiast for a sponsored review. Gamers tend to care about aesthetics, the feel of the key-press, how comfortable the keyboard is during long sessions, features, and quality. The sound of the key board still matters, but it's not as high of a priority. Customization is so low on the list of priorities that some companies don't even bother advertising that they have hot-swappable switches (Ex: Razer Deathstalker v2). The wired keyboard not having a removable USB C cable was a very fair criticism.

It's the best of both worlds and you only need an extra row of keys from a tenkeyless.

@DarkPhoenixPear Год назад

It's matter when the keycap that comes with the keyboard get the scratched. The switch can't be removed (not hotswap). Overall, it's the normal gaming keyboard that if it's broken in some part (whether, the keycap or switch or the cable) you might need to just buy a new one... If it's cheap, I think it's fine to use gaming keyboard. However, the one in this clip is at the same price (or more expensive) than some other hotswap keyboards (or even some good group buy custom keyboard.)

@konkeydong6907 Год назад

Personally, I have a few custom boards and I do experiment with these big brand keyboards occasionally. I bought the ASUS Strix Scope RX Red switch (the exact first one shown here) and after lubing the switches, it probably has the BEST typing feel I have out of all of my keyboards. Im not too sure why the board shown looks different though. My keycaps are the satin types which show finger oils easily but my RGB on that board is easily brighter than all of my boards so i'm not sure why your board is so dim. But generally, that board is my favorite linear keyboard to type on hands down after lubing em. Without lube, the keycaps do sound hollow cos they are quite thin. But if you know how a good restored typewriter feels like, the RX actually reminds me of that. It really is CRISPY. But yes, it is annoying how the keycaps cannot be changed and I have to wipe my keyboard down every week.

Honestly stay away from Logitech keyboard, one of my friend have one and already 3 of they keycaps broke the Romero-G switch are really bad

Media keys are just rebranded function keys [FN]. There are hotswitchable gaming boards out there.

@Wakkajakka Год назад

My first gaming keyboard was a Razor something or another, and they soldered the switches down, and they were proprietary switches with a RGB led attached to it. The switches are nice clicky switches but you'd need a heat gun to remove the switches to repair or replace them, and you'd not be able to have the RGB effects if you did so, so I hucked it in the trash when one of the switches gave out on it.

@RichieRichTube Год назад

I love the features of the claymore. Especially the removable numpad. But the keycaps are a problem and the number pad not being wireless is a problem as well . A numb pad is a must for me. This is pushing me to the 75% azoth.

@JanusM Год назад

I dare you to try Cooler Master with TTC low profile switches like SK622 or SK653. For a gaming keyboard i find them realy good in terms of feel and sound.

@tobster786 Год назад

i bought a evga z15 and stuffed it with foam, permatexed the stabs, and swapped the switches for akko cs purples. its good and i like it. the only thing is it has abs keycaps that are getting that greasy shiny look to them, so i might buy a new set of keycaps for it.

The StrixScopeRXTKL was the one I started my "gaming" with, but I am switching to the old Claymore for cost reduction and to have the keypad for macros. My biggest problem with the StrixScope is the secondary key never shows up in darkness, the keycap shades the light so if you forget where they are, it sucks.

As someone who was eyeing Claymore but decided to just buy a Keychron K10 and customise it, I think I made the right choice for myself.

@termitreter6545 Год назад

Tbh, if you know how to do custom keyboards and dont need macro/media-keys (which are missing here anyway), then is there even a reason to get one of those gaming boards?

@@jessebensen3569 The gaming keyboards are pretty bad in all of those areas. Except latency, which is no problem for any good keyboard.

@Hekovashi Год назад

They almost had it (for what it is), a wireless numpad. That thing can be used as a stream deck, with some tweaks, which go hand to hand with gamers aesthetic and theme. Boom, done. But wasted.

@HappyBeezerStudios Год назад

Ohh, like being able to switch between numpad and "macro mode" depending on needs? I'd love to have one like that.

I imagine you won't be getting many more ASUS sponsorships, but you kept it real. Personally, I can't believe they charged nearly $30 dollars more than I got my Glorious GMMK while taking away customization.

@mayomancer527 Год назад

To be fair, for people who just want something nice out of the box and are not interested in customization option, these do seem like a good option
