Man, the budget sector has gotten so good in the last year or so. It's awesome. Not sure I'd like a low profile board, but it's just nice to see the options and for under $100 with some more "premium" features, I can't be mad at it.
@@keebdude I love how even the more basic options are easy to find with hot swap switches at the very least these days...you can get into the hobby for a lot less $ than before. Hell, $40-$60 can get you a very basic hot swap board and then even some new keycaps and cheap foam to start modding at least.
hey newbie here... can you tell me why you don't prefer low profile keyboards? seems that is a common opinion and I'm just wondering why you like the standard better. thanks!!
@@evergreenerin I just don't like the feel of them, and they tend to have fewer options for those who want to customize things a bit. You have a lot more options when you go wth the standard. Some people love the low-profile though and it's cool if if works for you. There are some really good ones on the market too.
Finally found a good review on this thing. Sponsored, but still honest. 👏👏👏 Good stuff. I have a question if you could help me. No one has been able to answer this. Is there an LED under each key and are they individually customizable? For instance, could i light my 'w', 'a', 's', and 'd' keys red, my 'm' key blue, and my 'i' key green while my arrow keys are yellow? Just as an example.
Hey! I just got the keyboard in the mail today... YES, each key can be individually programmed. Quite easily too... it comes with instructions on how to do it.
Hope more brands come out this with this layout. Not enough options for low profile with knob - I bought a razer control pod to compliment mine, which is not ideal. Was seriously considering until you said the knob rubs against the chassis.
Nice review, my problem is that the key switches aren't shine through, I sometimes type in the dark, I might not be able to see the letters... Is it easy to find alternative switches? they look low profile...
great review! 👍I ordered this keyboard a few days ago. I am hoping to buy different keycaps for it. Am I correct in thinking that as long as they are 'low profile', they will work on this keyboard? (Sorry for the dumb question, but this is my first mechanical keyboard and I don't want to buy keycaps that won't work). cheers! 😊
hey I got a question!!! Thank you for the great review. You said in the video there are much better options for $129 range... can you recommend one and explain in a couple words why it's better? or link me to another one of your vids if you have one explaining that!! Thanks
One more question... I ordered this keyboard before this video came out (it is my first mechanical keyboard). I do agree the keys feel very stiff. you said it's because this is "top mounted" keyboard. Anything I can do to soften it up?? Thanks again for a great vid.
Kinda off-topic but, do more people really use PgUp and PgDn more, than they use Home and End? I mean sure with Via and QMK I can have whatever key that I want but really though, why the default is more PgUp and PdDn instead of Home and End?
Anyone know if the knob is on it's own sleep timer? If so, is there anyway to change the time before it goes to sleep when in wireless mode? (how long does it take for the knob to go into sleep mode)
@@gearsgamer7115 I don't quite get the allure of mechanical keyboards anyway. I tried a few at Microcenter. I still think most premium laptop keyboards are better.
i am using mine with a mac and it works great. the keys look like windows though (alt key where the command should be) but its super easy to switch it to mac mode.
