Why is the OnePlus Keyboard so Weird? 

New?? Andrew has been here since the beginning

@@avondmaaltje who?

He cute lol

Holy hell $300, you can get a QK75 including switches and keycaps with that price.

@@okamisamakun sure! But it doesn’t have the OnePlus logo on it, and it’s not an in stock board.

@@okamisamakun I got a first batch QK65 and it’s such a good bang for the buck. Extremely high quality, a pleasure to use every time I sit in front of my pc.

Bro the Q1 is what i'm using right now. It is SO good. If this shit is $300, you might be best getting your out of touch red and blue switch keyboard somewhere else

$300 for a keyboard? No. I would never. Most I'd pay is $100-$200 $300 is asking too much.

*Great points! What's also weird... is that companies decided to get rid of the number pad section on their keyboards ...AND... not allow any other option for that function...!!!!!*

@@helloxonsfan Keychron has all sizes covered, with or without numberpad. I have a Q3 (that's one without) because I like to have more space for the mouse to game. But I have a cheapo standalone USB numberpad as well. It's just OnePlus doing all this weird sh...

@@helloxonsfan Or, hear me out on this: buy a keyboard that has the numpad. Keychron offer that already as pointed out on the comment above mine. It's called preference. I personally can't stand a keyboard with a numpad especially if it's on the right side of it. P.S.: You can literally map keys to use as a numpad with the press of the fn key. The option is there. If you don't want to take it, buy something else from the same company, or another product.

@@impointr ... I get what you're saying... but I use ASCII characters a lot, & also do a lot of quick calculations... it's just so much more easier to access all that with a handy Number Pad than without. I have a stand alone Number Pad, plus a separate keyboard with one. But it's inconvenient to keep switching since I'd have to do that quite often!

@@helloxonsfan Again, you can still buy custom keyboard kits with an included numpad. These still exist and will still exist, either in the form of the classic 100% layout, or a compact 96% format. The awesome people at Nuphy just started selling their Air96 and Halo96 for instance, and KBDfans released the absolutely gorgeous Odin V2 last year, with Keychron offering their own 100% and 96% keyboards in their Q series.

Vouch.

Vouch +1

Hipyo ftw babyyy

Uh dude, Blackberry best keyboard on phones

on which ones does it work like that? I just looked and all of their keyboards either have seperate color options regardless of what switch you want or they are the same color for every switch

most people have little to no use for number pad honestly.

@@TheMrleeyang ... Even if that's true & only a minority of users are interested in the Number Pad, considering all the keyboards in the world, that would still be a very large number of people. Remember, a small percent of a very large number is still a large number...!!! 👍🏽

@@helloxonsfan You can get an external number pad if you want ...or there are full-sized keyboards as well. They are just a little hard to find due to the enthusiast layouts

@@slavboii420 ... Yep! I have a stand alone Number Pad AND an additional keyboard. However, I use ASCII characters & do quick calculations a lot... & so it'd be a bit inconvenient to always have to switch back-and-forth between all that equipment!!!

I went onto their website and the stems in their switches are the same in the renders. If the switches are just going to be linear this sucks. I hope it was just an oversight.

nah my dude. man's gotta respect the standard. blue's for clicky, and red's linear, that's it. maybe if you want to make a pink or other dumb colors, then whatever, be my guest. But not the 3 classic colors.

They don't manufacture their own switches and if they are going the route of Keychron they will use Gaterons which are more reliable Cherry switches. I can't wait for them to screw this up.

it has open source firmware compatiability, i would not be worried about keylogging

It won't fit the channel. High end keyboards are mostly just valued for their aesthetic, tech wise there's almost no breakthrough. Most customs use QMK/VIA which is open sourced since most studios don't write their own software. Changing mounting styles and build materials is interesting for people in the hobby, but from outside it seems pointless.

@@silentKeys20 I think something like the Wooting 60HE can make a good video though

I think it’s based on the Q1 pro actually. Which would bump up the price to 300. Though you often pay for the brand with these things.

Yes, this is so true. Just look at the price of a Keychron V1!

split and alice are the smallest minority. Most wont make any money catering to this group of people. Just because people make noise does not equal to real business sense why more manufacturers should make them.

​@@TheMrleeyang The fact that businesses need to make a profit and ergonomic mechanicals are a tiny selection of available designs is the obvious part. Fortunately, visionary designers and innovative businesses like Keychron see beyond this simplistic view of how the market looks today. Keyboards like Keychron Q10 and Q8 and Alice layout in general are still relatively new. They don't even appear in big store websites like Amazon or Best Buy yet (last time I checked). Even with availability only direct from the manufacturer, it would be interesting to know how well these models are selling so far. We can see countless examples of low-volume variations being manufactured and sold in the mechanical keyboard world. How will anyone ever know how well a low-profile Alice or split will sell if it's not even available or visible to the broader market? Notice that big companies like Microsoft and Logitech have manufactured split ergonomic designs for many years now. They wouldn't continue unless it made business sense. Let's just say what looks like a laughable, impractical, daydream or "noise" to one person, can be seen as untapped potential to another.

It’s tactful if they wanted people to talk about it?
