Unboxing a Hyper7 Round 4 keyboard! 

Finally, a keyboard with enough keys. Now to map a bunch of layers on top and see how much of the Unicode character set you can cram onto it.

Ever since I got banged up pretty bad on my last deployment I have been working on and building keyboards to help with motor skill recovery and its also very easy on my brain to move slowly on a simple keyboard and just repeating the steps like lubing switches. Ive improved alot over the last year and having your videos playing in the background is always enjoyable! I look forward to continuing my delving into this community

Students used to bring apples to give teachers. Now they bring them whiskey. This generation is better.

Self defense weapon, command center, star trek control console, workbench, anvil, car jack, art, sexual object. A unit of a keyboard which fits all needs and dreams.

"It's got a specific purpose" well yeah, to look absolutely amazing! That's what its specific purpose is.

The "You call that a keyboard? THIS is a keyboard" keyboard

I'm admittedly jealous to no end that you get to even hold one of these beasts! The ultimate command station keyboard! Great video as always!

Thank you for the sneak peek. I can't wait to get my stainless steel enclosed, Kailh Box Jade modern layout Hyper 7! What a beauty.

That Wolfenstein 3D shirt lol. Good memories with that game as a little kid playing with my older brother

I yelled with a bagel still in my mouth from my recliner this morning “That’s not a keyboard that’s a god damn Minuteman Control Panel”

The thonk when the keyboard hits the table at 2:59 ... that's not a keyboard it's a lethal weapon!

You sir just made my morning.

i just woke up and this is the first video i watch, i am unusually obsessed with this keyboard

That's some PROPER DAMN keyboard! And it sounds pretty good to my ears! I'd love to get one

That looks like a nice implement for a keyboard measuring contest 😘

I can hear the smile in your voice. I very much look forward to this review.

What are you talking about!? The average office worker should totally have a keyboard like this. Come'on! It's like more than 4x better than 40% keyboards!

I actually got to see one of these being built a few months before they opened pre-orders for them. I live about a 40 minute drive from the Mechboards office and chose to pick up an order, rather than get it delivered, pretty much so that I could have a day out, and they let me have a look around the warehouse! It was awesome.

Are you gonna review the new beam spring keyboard? You reviewed the switch but I can’t find a review on the board itself. If it’s good I want to jump on it

That's not a keyboard. That's an entire console!

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..Canyonero!

I could listen to you unbox anything sir. Woo!

So glad to see this come together, my - ̗̀new ̖́- set of SA keycaps for mine was just delivered this week!

Ooo now this is the kind of Keyboard I like We need more innovation towards this size and less tiny ones that lack features.

Your giddiness was blatantly obvious, and I don't blame you in the slightest! The carrying handle made me chuckle because it looks absolutely necessary! 😅

i like the premium metal carrying handle

Can’t wait to see your review proper on this one, I’ve been eyeing it since first hearing about it and if it’s up to snuff by your opinion I’ll probably end up grabbing one.

Love me some Redbreast. The 15 year is quite nice.

I never thought envy would turn into raging anger, but here we are.

A bit of perspective: I have a boat that weighs about as much as this keyboard.

I bought the desk I'm gonna use the whole damn desk!

You could fit a whole ass computer in that case.

I don't think I have room for this keyboard, but if I did I would sure as heck buy one.

6kg? Damn, that's like a mature bald eagle and 5 burgers in imperial.

Boy is this one tempting. Ive been using a 142 key Point Of Sale keyboard for all the macros I need. Ive also tanken a more "sensible" 121 key POS board and refitted it to special characters for a linguist I know so they can easily go between computers without needing software or remembering fifty different six button shortcuts.

Now that's a proper battlestation keyboard

this looks amazing.

Redbreast very good, nice crème brûlée sort of feel to it if I recall. Last couple of times I’ve been to Ireland I’ve really leaned into smithwicks, you should seek it out.

Oh, we can tell you're giddy. Who wouldn't be? (Well, among those watching this...)

I really liked the barebones minimalist look of the orange keycap hyper 7 you showed off before. Not a fan of blue, but those orange accents instead of blue here might go well. Loved the trailer and this more finished look of the H7R4. Imagine this with box navy or heavy clickiez, just heft and weight personified.

There is a Swedish word. Lagom. It is a good way to describe this keyboard. This keyboard is lagom for me. But why not ISO layout? I need those extra keys.

wish this thing could fit on my college dorm desk, i'd be getting jealous stares from my roommate for the rest of the semester!

I just had an interesting thought, with keyboards like this, the Wombat, and the Long Boi, or any wide keyboard someone might come up with, at what point should we start angling or curving the outer extremities? Surely at some point a keyboard becomes too wide to just be a slab, right? I guess this somewhat depends on elbow pivot and wrist splay, but that also gets into ergonomic discussions. Also what's a good balance between the row and column ratio, say you have a true 200% layout and you could go anywhere from the typical 6 row layout (standard height, double width) to a 12 row layout (double height, standard width), where would the ideal balance between rows and columns be? All of this excludes mouse usage, which is an entirely different conversation.

I see you have your 8bitdo C64 keyboard there as your (current) daily driver maybe? I certainly love mine to smithereens. Which I bought .5 seconds after your unboxing video.

I am typing from an heavy metal keyboard that is made of bent steel plates, it's just a tkl and it's already quite heavy, I don't want to imagine that thing!

(coming from your TOP 10 most SILENT mechanical keyboard switches of all time vid) Hey, I have been looking at getting a Type S Topre Professional HHKB Keyboard but noticed that yours doesn't really look like the one on the website. Yours doesn't have an extra piece that sticks out at the top and I was kind of wondering as to why that is?....Yours looks more like the 'classic' but it's obviously not as your keyboard said "professional type-s". Then I looked past all that and tried finding just the switches but couldn't find the switches literally anywhere...sooo a 2nd question would be where would I buy just the switches? And a 3rd question if I made me own keyboard with just the switches and even bought the mat for underneath would it sound the same as the one by HHKB or would the material of the keyboard and etc. switch up the sound a bit?? Would love a more detailed video! Thanks!

my only gripe with it is that it could really use some sort of backlight. Not necessarily RGB, even just white would suffice.

Now I need custom keycaps for use with JetBrains Rider.

Battle cruiser? Mote like a star destroyer.

If that other big one was a battleship, this is the Mothership.

It's understandably heavy as it's pure gold. I would prefer an SA profile keycap on it though.

The handle is awesome.

Why is there no big iso enter key or a “fire” switch. Sounds like it would be a cool button to have on a keyboard if this design?

nice shirt 🐺

It's not battleship. It's whole combined fleet.

Model F 122 is already major overkill for me, I don't even know what I would do with all those keys! But this behemoth is impressive and a nice update from the last round.

As someone who is perfectly fine using minivan i still want that monstrosity on my desk, i hate-love you ahahaha Still would love if the carrying handle matched the case or was in a darker colour

i can smell the entire suite of macros you can make with that keyboard

That is one battlestation of a keyboard that would not fit my tiny desk. Impresive and the build quality seems great too. Wow.

that thing is gorgeous.

I paused watching a Satisfactory run to be here.

I have not been on the forms for so long i missed this :(

if ellipse's beamspring project also completes this year, it will truly be the year of the battleship

Nice!

i would never use such keyboard but my god this is a beauty to behold. i wonder what are its usages. personally i am using a 60 something split keyboard. i have no idea what i would do so many keys. i wonder what kind of software and application would benefit with having so many keys instead of typing the commands? maybe some editing suite? i don't know. i am excited for the review!

beast

I found it suspicious when you turned off the microphone while sipping whiskey 😁

How soon can I get this? It calls to me.

"This is not something that the average office worker..." Yeah. 6 kilo is about 3 more than the weight rating for most desk's keyboard trays. Though with that kind of construction, you could probably mount it to a workstation via the chassis. Actually would be a good accessory for a keyboard like that. Compatible mounting brackets would reduce the possibility of it injuring someone by falling on their lap. This is the kind of keyboard that might require steel toes to use safely.

Holy Toledo ... Well, this certainly would be the right keyboard to use with Open Genera.... ;-)

Wow, that's close to the keyboard I fantasized about making, save for having NASA shuttle-style switches on the upper part.

I wonder what the default layout is for Windows usage

At last the Hyper 7 is now equipped with a "real" spacebar and not the small Space key, which is even smaller than the one found on Japanese keyboards! Nevertheless, many professional users would still prefer double-sized zero, enter, and plus keys on the numpad.

Hey @Chyrosran22 could you recommend a decent 65%-75% mechanical budged-keyboard? Thank you very much!

How many keyboards do you have now? Do you have a keyboard library?

I want!

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Now put beamsprings in it.

It's a Battlestar class keyboard!

Ohh - I hadn't realised they'd stated making these with sensible space bars now. Nice. Totally ludicrous - but nice. Just not £700 nice

I wish it's entire design (handle and all) wasn't so blatanty stolen from the saturn60.

how many macro's do you use....."Yes"

Round 4 of the Hyper 7? So that's... let's do some quick math here... 28 Hypers so far? Do they have any left?

Oh no! don't tell them to put any old things in it. You'll end up with the MEI switches (the worst ones I've ever used). :p

@3:50 for the keyboard reveal.

So you don't need to use a mouse then?

I subscribed to this channel just to listen to his sexy voice. Sorry I’m a very simple woman…

Wooting80he when???

moar keys please

Finally, a keyboard for real men - and women. With enough keys and not another fking boring 60% or tkl.

Size matters

still not enough keys for a derek smart game

yooooo

the!

Damn 49 seconds ago

500€ for this with the caps and shipping, you must certainly buy this to support the pile of 4090's sitting on your desk being used as paper weights. Whalers got to whale i guess... and pay pigs got to pay.

Nice!
