Alchemist Keyboards is0GR micropad review (ZealPC Clickie)

[@knightrider585]

Good to see you finally reviewing another ortholinear keyboard.

[@AndyK.1]

Whole 5 mins until he pressed it.

[@BOBAGENTSMITH]

Worth the wait

[@Mizai]

yup totally worth it

[@DirtyGingy]

Sometimes the teasing is worth it

[@ManLikeKitch]

Takes quite a lot discipline to hold that long.

[@pututski6968]

Correction: You get the opportunity to hear Chyrosran's buttery voice for 300 seconds before the click.

[@justin6581]

10/10 space saver keyboard.

[@Gameboygenius]

This reminds me of an old story of mine. About 15 years ago I managed to wear out the enter key on my Thinkpad to the point of destroying the rubber dome. I was in university at the time and low on money, so I had to live with it and figure out a solution. I learnt odd facts, like the fact that you could use ctrl-M instead of enter in the Windows XP login prompt. (This generates a carriage return, 0x0d much like the maybe more famous ctrl-J that generates a newline character, 0x0a.) But my solution ended up being the "enter box" built from stuff in the university student electronics workshop. A project box containing the controller from a USB keyboard, and a switch shorting out the point for enter in the keyboard matrix. I would put this to the right of the laptop for when I needed to press enter. The student workshop also had another part, a multi pole momentary switch, which gave me the idea to add a secondary function to the enter box: a switch that simultaneously pressed ctrl, alt and delete. Good times.

[@thethriftyfawn]

At 4:21 "but you know... nee-yah... and nee-yah... and nee-yah"

[@winkletter]

Many happy returns.

[@ernackgd8395]

Im a fan of 40%'s. I might upgrade to this.

[@AlexeyShavitov]

Best Keyboard fo accepting licensing agreements

[@LangleyNA]

That is a great idea. I like this comedy, AlexeyShavitov. :)

[@Aeduo]

Make it a 'Y' key and make it a Homer Simpson keyboard.

[@akeem2983]

Is "ZealPC Clickie" an official singular for Clickiez?

[@Chyrosran22]

I think it might be?

[@thethriftyfawn]

Cliquie is the designer version 😆

[@jammies701]

The singular and plural are both Clickiez based on the naming scheme on Zeal's website. Every switch is listed in the singular, e.g., "Tealio switches," "Pearlio switches", "Clickiez switches", etc. Unless they don't follow their scheme with this one switch for some reason, or they've released an official pronunciation, I think it's safe to assume the singular is Clickiez

[@voodoolilium]

that lilac case with the metallic blue key looks so gorgeous.

[@Ensue85A]

It is perfect for someone that sends messages in Morse Code.

[@PancakeAndRiley]

This is by FAR your best review ever. Well done.

[@purplepothos5794]

I ran your sound test through a morse code translator and it gave the translation as MORSE. -- --- .-. ... .

[@skenzyme81]

I thought I was seeing an old video from early April for half the video.

[@Dvovsky]

Should I equip my hyper 7 with clickiez for the base and arctic foxes for the macros?

[@jammies701]

That sounds backwards, but also awesome

[@greyareaRK1]

Perhaps if I worked in Returns.

[@酗]

I think my father would make the same joke and I'd give the same single chuckle in return.

[@thethriftyfawn]

Amazon called- they've accepted your job application!

[@LangleyNA]

Or like a service cancellations department.

[@DrJaneLuciferian]

How is it for gaming?!?

[@akeem2983]

Geometry Dash will be crazy with this

[@ivy_47]

@@akeem2983 Flappy Bird off the shits

[@stevenjlovelace]

Cost aside, how feasible would it be to hook up 104 of these and map them each to a different key? Can you even connect that many keyboards?

[@NatalieT505]

We now have a new category for speed typing competitions. Excellent. I'm singularly pleased. Great review, thanks :-)

[@mr6291]

I want one to use as a foot switch for push-to-talk. I have a lot of ISO enters that will never be used otherwise.

[@deadleaves3693]

That's actually a great practical use for a relatively useless peripheral. Well done Sir.

[@LangleyNA]

I am also impressed. Good idea, @mr6291.

[@PlantainSupernova]

Had to check the calendar, not April 1st.

[@sebastian_meier]

if the text said "Enter" this might be the sexiest usb hacking device ever built - imagine bypassing a login screen by pressing your personal enter key

[@sweetypuss]

is this an out-of-season april fools joke

[@stephenhatalla5184]

Best little morse key in texas

[@Just_Add_Coffee]

I was on the fence, but it comes with a CARRYING CASE?!? Sign me up!

[@green_gouty]

Mmmm, green on lavender, very aesthetic 😉Good to see you at Clackycon and hope you can make it to a MKUK meetup some time

[@GabenHood]

Checks date, not April...

[@Casper0123]

Black Simon n your channel are the only keyboard channels I watch on KZbin. I’m not paying for this but as a gift It’s the best ❤

[@applehugger]

Was that Morse code at the end?

[@56grishnak65]

But does it have n-key rollover?

[@Armadurapersonal]

it's tough being an iso fan. we're the most oppressed minority.

[@woldemunster9244]

Yeah, gamer using iso here, we need to rise up!

[@CoffeeOnRails]

This needs to be programmed like the Mactini from the Perter Serafinowicz show

[@Chyrosran22]

Hahaha I considered doing the comma from that video for the typing demo xD .

[@Aeduo]

I find that blue and lilac go very well together, especially with the neutral shiny metal inner bezel. I like the little tray for a half golf pencil, that one has maybe sharpened enough times to be so short. Being American, I have not a single ISO enter key though. It should of course be an "ANY" key, though I dunno what an appropriate "no operation" scan code would be for this purpose which would do nothing but emit an event. Maybe if there's a dedicated "wake" key, which should in theory do nothing in any application (though it may not even generate a key event either).

[@voodoolilium]

you missed a great opportunity to do a typing test using Morse code! edit: now I'm wondering if you could program it in qmk/via/vial to actually type using Morse code.

[@ThomasVernonJr]

Best 0.9615384615384615% keyboard that i have ever seen.

[@Juiceboxdan72]

A single key to "return" is possibly the most Zen bit of tech that I've ever seen.

[@antinatalope]

Ah, this decade's new pet rock.

[@rohitdoestech]

did you go to the one in leeds? I went there myself

[@ElNath645]

This is a nice little novelty to have! I'd imagine putting a meme switch in there and really nice novelty/artisan ISO enter.

[@AltsekBUL]

Did he just use morse code on the sound test

[@TuxmanXP]

I want to have that with Buckling Springs. Or.. a Buckling Spring.

[@keksimus__maximus]

Does it have 1 key rollover?

[@voodoolilium]

it looks like a strong competitor with numpad enter for best enter key.

[@AsthmaQueen]

not going to lie this is actually cool, I have a really cool key that I couldn't use before that would be perfect for this. honestly though I was looking for a numpad that had it

[@halfling_barista]

Love mine. Use it with Vial for task switcher, closing tabs and windows, and sleep. “The best way to do something silly.”

[@prenestina]

I need a one hour compilation of what Thomas is saying at 4:21.

[@wembleyford]

Nicely built - but the value proposition is -what - a twentieth of that of the hyper7 in the previous video in terms of cost per key - LOL - that's actually impressive in a horrifying way. Makes the hyper7 look like a bargain :-D

[@dorstefan]

Just make it red and write "Launch" on it.

[@besserschreiben9481]

or "any key" ..

[@sepruecom]

now I need one for a "delete"-key...

[@reipuradinata8766]

1% keyboard. The end game.

[@rap-id-ralph]

Was that morse code?

[@MozTS]

I unironically want a single windows key to go with my model m

[@besserschreiben9481]

Some years ago there was a defence minister, who was forced to quit, when it turned out, that he had copied large parts of his doctor thesis without marking these parts as citations. Soon. some clever people designed a keyboard for him that only hold three keys: Ctrl and C and V.

[@LangleyNA]

The sound test becomes wholly uninteresting when there is no context and contrast provided by additional keys, it seems.

[@Andrew-ky8oc8cq4n]

Far too many keys for the typical keyboard minimalist.

[@Powertampa]

120 bucks and the product page is in comic sans. This would be funny, but it's not April.

[@lenneavy]

One click for 0, two clicks for 1 and you're good to go. Also nice for Morse code typing.

[@TastidiousYabbie]

James is right on this one, this is the worst keyboard, in the wooooorld. Fun and stupid is cool, but no stabiliser at $90 and no hot swap, really blows.

[@dhoffnun]

Functional memes, I can dig it

[@Kamawan0]

Who the heck needs a single piece of equipment dedicated to just one key??

[@Ankky22]

It would be a cool gimmick if it was 15€ or 20€ at most.

[@LyrisTheCat]

i think that could work as an extra key for work crap like you literally putting that single key on the ground and then using your feet to press it when you are working on something that needs too many enter presses lol.

[@fredklier]

I sense some Morse code in the end! 😆

[@zombie115m]

Now we need a relegendable iso enter

[@lorenzoterrasi4491]

No matter how neat it may be, 100€ is completely asinine.

[@sixxtylol]

Why does it sound good 😭

[@GeoStreber]

I don't like that new 1% keyboard format.

[@LeoNatan]

They should have titled this "Any".

[@CharlesHydronium]

thought this was an april fools vid

[@gromph4]

Finally, a keyboard for morse code users.

[@maxrobe]

Ideal EULA keyboard.

[@BokBarber]

Back to the basics: Morse Code.

[@THESCUMMBAR]

90$ and not even hot-swap??

[@sagichnicht6748]

Cool, ISO layout.

[@fonseca898]

Woo!

[@KeithOlson0326]

Love that it is USB to waste an entire port.

[@nofreenamestoreg]

Ah, I want a wireless one :D

[@yPhil]

I want 104 of them ;)

[@RelakS__]

😻.... aaand 😻.... aaand 😻.... XD

[@Antney946]

I figured that if you could swear like a sailor I could subscribe!

[@Joost-ey6mt]

Why would this be useless? It should be perfect for Morse code.

[@Lu-db1uf]

How ergonomic!

[@SynthfulDuck]

Coworker everyone hates type keypad.

[@lucidmoses]

Idk, Unless it comes in the bigass enter format I can't see it being that useful. Way too many miskeying. :p

[@bobweiram6321]

It's great for morse code.

[@middle_pickup]

No hotswap. Completely unusable.

[@_Piers_]

This is the keyboard all the people waffling on about layers on their 16 key keyboard should be made to use. Just learn morse code already slacker!

[@mesamesamesa1277]

Chyrosnya :3

[@gmlgml780]

Yeah. 1, It's very describing that 99% of the mech keebs are ANSI, but when they do a one key enter, that will be ISO. 2, Absolutely worthless gimmicky nothing, not even a joke 'cause it's expensive. And the good jokes are cheap. 3, The best keyboard for managers. Everything is done and put together, they just go on the stage and push the enter. (No boring hassle with the unnecessary complexities.)

[@r_se]

u can get a 3d print one for cheap
