    @jerkysansقبل 7 أشهر As a casual gamer who also needs my keyboard to be usable for work, I got the Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL. The white colorway is gorgeous and the typing experience id="hidden2" class="buttons"> is great. The stabilizers can use some lubing though as that rattle can be quite annoying. ....وسعت 9

    @Rymcقبل 11 أشهر The Wooting 60HE is the nicest thing I've ever bought for my PC. Straight out of the box it's just perfect. They've nailed it. From the feel id="hidden4" class="buttons"> to the sound without any mods even. Highly recommend it. I also switched for the first time from full size to 60% and had so much fear since I use arrows and numpad etc a lot but with function layers and double keystroke features from Wooting I've had no regrets at all. I love it so much. ....وسعت 185

    @wildtime001قبل 11 أشهر I bought the Mountain Everest Max on your previous review, and it has become my daily driver. Also, Mountain is still creating add-ons for the Everest id="hidden14" class="buttons"> Keyboard, such as more macro pads, and from ordering to receiving my product from Austria to Canada took only 7 or 8 days. However, it is still quite expensive and that review which influenced my purchase was two years ago, so I am in full agreement with your ranking. ....وسعت 5

    @MadMaxx_V8Interceptorقبل 11 أشهر My favorite is my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL (2023). The best gaming feature is the dual-activation mode for the OmniPoint switches. For example, I set the id="hidden15" class="buttons"> W key for walk at 1.0 and run at 3.0. All the main keys can be dual-activated. My keyboard of choice for work/long typing sessions is my. Keychron K7 Pro with Gateron Brown switches. Stellar video, mate!! ....وسعت 6

  • @
    @OGHawkeyeقبل 5 أشهر id be really curious to know where you put a few of the other ASUS boards if you included the other ones to this list and also the Blackwidow V4 TKL the id="hidden19" class="buttons"> same as the pro V4? Im really thinking ill get a few of these for the collection because im a fanboy, much more than i am into custom keyboards. And i think i might get the ROG Azoth first to have a compact option. Although ive been considering several ROG boards, the ones with the works obviously. really think i have to get at least one of the Razer V4's. And lastly i cant really explain how i have this itch to get a corsair board but its gotta be their best option. They disappoint me with their quality of rgb sometimes and i just want to get an option of theirs that i can truly be satisfied with.
    If i can check those boxes off than i think i will have satisfied my new setup keyboard itch.now on to the mice, and speakers.

    @pitpalacbatranقبل 11 أشهر The best keyboard there is? The one you've been using for 3+ years and is till as good as it was on day one. In my case, Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Rapidfire Cherry MX Low Profile Speed. I hope it never breaks. 1
  • @
    @watchy4085قبل 11 أشهر As a fan of full size keyboards, it's kinda sad that you put the K100 RGB and Blackwidow V4 Pro on B tier simply because you dislike 100% keyboards id="hidden23" class="buttons">
    I've been using my old K95 RGB with 18G keys for almost 8 years. Although I don't really use macros for gaming, they're SO useful for when I'm editing or to keep some shortcuts I regularly use, and as an engineering student, having the number pad right next to where I write while using windows calculator when doing homework is also very nice.
    Bought the K100 RGB past month and the build quality and feeling of this thing is no less than A-tier (idk about the Blackwidow tho, never used it)

    @deckstor1قبل 11 أشهر DeathStalker V2 Pro ain't getting enough love here! It's fantastic, optical switch response and build quality is amazing. Yeah pricey, but good id="hidden24" class="buttons"> stuff. Keycaps quality are surprisingly good despite the poor reputation of ABS plastic. The coating they used here has some protective properties that negates the downsides of ABS ....وسعت 20

    @jesuscortez5290قبل 10 أشهر What keyswitches were in the iqunix you displayed?????
  • @
    @CFougقبل 10 أشهر Appreciate Frank’s input - but how does GMMK and Keychron make A tier with +6ms latency?
    Wooting and Steelseries deserve S tier. K100 OPX and k70 Champion TKL OPX A tier in my personal opinion. Gaming pov not a typist although I can hit a solid 130wpm with the OPX.
    Corsair would be S tier if ICUE didn’t suck - and k100 specifically if the cable wasn’t so bulky and the ICUE wheel wasn’t so limited in use. I’d prefer to just lose the wheel all together tbh.

    @Gohrekقبل 10 أشهر Howdy, Randomfrankp,
    At , you mentioned that Cherry's reputation has gone down over the past few years. Could you please elaborate? I am genuinely curious what happened with them. I remember when most people recommended avoiding the custom switches and always picking Cherry and Geteron instead.
    Again, I'm not trying to argue or anything. I'm wondering if I missed something about the company in the last few years. Thanks in advance.

    @JuanCarlosAraujoSقبل 11 أشهر I'd keem Nuphy on the radar. The Air line is more in line with the Fnatic keyboard or the G915 slim profiles and the Halo line is more traditional. id="hidden35" class="buttons"> All hot-swappable, good-looking, moddable but looks like there's no need to mod them. Ah, and they're wireless.
    I'm considering pulling the trigger on the Halo75. but I'm on the fence bewteen the white and black variants. (Add some WoB keycaps to the white one and you'll get a sleek stormtrooper look you can turn into a 501st look by adding some blue lights).

    @Lukosificationقبل 9 أشهر If you are going to do a "Gaming Keyboard Tier List", but your prefer 70% keyboards (which is fine of course). Might i suggest making a separate id="hidden38" class="buttons"> video for the full keyboards and the ones with G keys? Else you might as well could have left them out of this list.
    On top of that, leave retail prices out of the video imo. You are mixing old and new retail prices into your list. it doesn't make sence.

I havent sent them any more mails detaling the situation, so all in all im really pleased by the help i got, but im just really sad the product was of so low quality when it comes to durability. My guess is that about 10 or so keys have broken so far. Please tell me if this is atypical for their products because i have no idea what their standards usually are ....وسعت
