You can take my numpad over my cold dead body 😡

The beginning of the video is a hot take imo, I don't know why it's expressed with such confidence Like, you know, people game AND work using their equipment It'd be more expensive to buy 2 NICE keyboards, one for work and one for gaming. Both do the same job. If you want more ergonomics or a cleaner look - you get a smaller one. If you want more functionality - get the bigger one Why would there only be one option, wtf

tldr; buy a wooting

One thing about the layout. For gaming a 65% layout is useless, because it takes up the same space horizontally as 75% layout while 75% has F keys and this allow You to use "tilda" key as a usefull and easy to hit keybind in game. And of course You have F1-F12 keys.

I game on a 100% board. I need the numpad for work. I'm not going to clutter up my workspace with an extra dedicated gaming keyboard. Seems silly.

I use arrow keys for movement and the number pad for weapon switches. And I prefer to use control to jump, with my pinky. None that thumb-plonking in the space bar. Full sized is the way to fit me.

I genuinely feel that rapid trigger can really make the difference, just like a 60hz monitor and a 144hz monitor. Of course you can play well on 60hz but 144hz better 99% of the time. You can play well on a regular keyboard, but hall effect keyboard will most definitely make you play better

I just ordered the Drunkdeer 75 a few days before this video, I am super excited. They even added the new snap tap feature on it like the wooting and razer keyboard.

0:17 better cgi than marvel. Also, congrats on your sponsor.

You started the video by saying don't buy a full size keyboard, but for what reason? I like my huntsman v3 pro full size, what's wrong with full size keyboards?

It's a shame that wooting decided to go for the 'weird and proprietary' PCB approach for their """80%""" keyboard. I got a reply on Twitter from them when they released it about how they "discovered" the "H87" (a popular standard TKL PCB) "much later in the process". Which is a wild thing to say because the TKL format in general has been a thing since before they existed as a company. Luckily there are other companies out there producing Hall Effect boards with more standard form factors. For custom keyboard enthusiasts out there, I think Geonworks is developing some HE custom PCBs, so it'll be available for that market too at some point. Though personally I don't think rapid trigger is absolutely essential for gaming.

Got my first HE keyboard today - Attack Shark K85. Got it for only £41, which is pretty decent I think for the price. Not sure if it will make me a better gamer but having rapid trigger and DKS should at least help a little. Thanks for the great vids.

If you hate Sonar, what else would you recommend to use? I have it and I've used it since it came out and haven't had any big problems.

The best hall effect keyboard with rapid trigger AND wireless 2,4ghz low latency (also has bluetooth) connectivity is the Keychron Q1 HE. I've got it and it's unlike anything I've ever used. Their support confirmed they are also working on an SOCD feature firmware update. Reviewers claim it's built better and types nicer than the wooting.

Knobs are goated, but not as goated as the wooting 60he. I use a 60he modded so it sounds and looks nice

i just ordered the Q1 HE. now i just have to pay off the mortgage i took out to afford it!

I sadly skipped the 60 but I do have a pre order on the 80he. 🎉

This is rather unfortunate i don't like linear switches. Will stay with my tactile asus azoth because i need to work on it as well

Which keyboard switches feel lighter and feel better steelseries apex mini or razer huntsman v3 mini ?
