Best FULL SIZE Keyboards You Can Buy - 2022 Edition!

[@IonutNedelcu]

Finally someone is speaking about full size keyboards!! Good job!!!!! I love my Ducky Shine 7 and I wouldn't change it for anything else than an identical keyboard that is wireless.

[@Prod-23]

I always swore by Ducky (I have a Shine 6 & 7 and 3 TNKL) until I tried a Glorious with Gateron Box White switches. Well worth checking out.

[@joemacafee7655]

@@Prod-23 My only issue with Glorious is that they only have one proper full size keyboard and it has no removable cable. I tried the GMMK2 96% but the key locations just didn't work for me. I'm currently on a Ducky One 3 full size with silent reds, but I've got a set of Glorious Fox keys on order for it.

Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I've recently come across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule and it seems like a useful tool for maintaining a spotless environment in your desk, car, and more. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it versatile and efficient. The compact size and multiple tubes also make it great for keyboard cleaning. Give it a try if you're looking to optimize your cleaning routine!

[@NorthernLaw_]

Great video, the trend of tiny keyboards is really strange to me considering the whole point of them is to save space but most people put tiny keyboards on massive desks. Either way whatever you prefer it doesn't really matter, but there should be the option of both for everything. For me, Corsair K100 is like 80% perfect but it only has speed switches so it needs browns. K95 Platinum XT is perfect but doesn't have the new features of the K100

It's the mouse pad estade.

[@suntzu1409]

Mice also got smaller, and if we go by r/mousereviews, then anything above 70g is completely unusable.

[@CDeeez94]

I agree with what you said about the K100, even though Cherry Silver Speeds have been very good to me throughout the years, however, in regards to the desk space and smaller keyboards, the main reason for that is the *wide* amount of space you would have for your mouse. It's especially useful for gamers who damn-near swing their mouse all around the desk when playing FPSs and things like that.

[@muhammadrakeeb8313]

Finally a review which focuses on the full-size keyboards only. Thanks a lot for that.👍 Also... I was expecting the Logitech Mx Mechanical to be included. Still not sure why it's missing.🤔

@@PainX187 on the 512 carbon its clicky blue mx, but can not swap them out.

I assume MX Mechanical was not included because there are far better, and cheaper, options out there. This seems to be consistent story with Logitech peripherals these days, including their recently released "inclusive" peripherals.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there, {{3}}! Thanks for joining the discussion. While the Logitech Mx Mechanical keyboard is indeed popular, it seems the focus of this post is on full-size keyboards. If you're interested in notebook upgrades and desktop setup optimization, have you considered looking into the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy device for keeping your devices and spaces clean. Let me know if you need more recommendations or have any specific questions!

[@andresmc210]

I don't expect to change my G915 for a long time. I use the five additional function keys a lot. It's also super practical to switch between my laptop and my desktop with the press of a button. And I love the low profile and the build quality.

[@catanainc]

Why is the G915 not on this list? It's by far the best full size.

Gotta agree with everything you said! My absolute favorite keyboard. Curious why they went with Razer instead in this list.

Hey! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for keeping your desktop and other spaces clean. It offers both vacuuming and blowing capabilities, with powerful suction and a 22m/s wind speed for keyboard cleaning. The versatile accessories and long-lasting battery make it perfect for travel too! Give it a shot and let me know what you think. 😉

[@analogicparadox]

FINALLY Every time I ask someone for suggestions, they just go "buy a TKL instead"

[@holongwong6479]

if TKL is good for someone, I will suggest they try 75%. If you want full size, I recommand old keyboard instead of 2022 keyboards, nothing wrong with them, just many old option still there and basically makes no difference. Some brands rarely has new model come out or still remain those models even newer one being launched such as Filco. They always great.

[@apem2kilo879]

That's what I used to see in some techies forum. In one of the Discord server of a local tech reviewers I join for example, many have asked about the full size recommendation but sadly they rarely give one, either because they don't know about recommended full-sized boards even though there's a lot of them ranging from cheap but good quality OEM ones to the ones from expensive big brand or because they simply prefer smaller form factor with separate numpad because they don't use numpad often, only for work so it's better to have a separate one. And yeaa they always justify the reason of why smaller form factor will always be better which might not be everyone's favourite. This kind of treatment often make someone who asked for recommendation to flee from the forum without even saying thank you as far as I've seen, probably because they feel asking for those people are useless at the end (I guess?)

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Sometimes I really feel like the odd one, because I have requirements that go against what people say. I prefer cabled headphones for the simplicity and "it just works" usability, I still have my DVD drive in use on a frequent basis, I use my numpad almost on a daily basis, and I have big hands, so all these tiny sub 70g mice are just uncomfortable to use.

[@protato911]

I personally thing that the Keychron Q6 is the best this years. -Extremely well built and premium full Aluminium shell. -Came with decent switches, stabiliser with hot swap. -Thick PBT keycaps with good looking font. -RGB -Gasket mount. -Have a nob option if you want. - Require minimal moding, if any. -Not very expensive compare to other gaming option from brand like Corsair, Razer, Logitech,...

[@vawx-]

Yeah, Q6 and Q5 are definitely much better in build quality compared to all of these keyboard. I thought he'll put Q6/Q5 after C1 when I see keychron mentioned.

[@Trevellian]

Agree, the Q6 is currently the best full size on the market. Hotswap, RGB, removable USB type-c, fully reprogrammable, and is incredibly heavy.

[@brandonkw930]

Yea I came here to comment that this was a huge miss. The Q5 and Q5 are about as mainstream as the Ducky now and got totally overlooked

[@d-floe]

blind leading the blind not recommending the Q5 / Q6. Major L

[@TyGamer125]

Yep I have a q3 that the only mod needed was force break but like who doesn't have a bit of painters tape laying around if not it's like $5 at most. It's designed to be taken apart and even includes the tool to open it up. Q5/Q6 would have been a step up from gmmk and likely Asus keyboard.

[@CDeeez94]

Thank you so much for this video 🙏. I understand why many people are into smaller-sized keyboards but it pains me to have such a small selection of premium full-size keyboards when the extra keys come in handy with work and school. I also wish that bigger companies like Razer, Corsair, & Logitech would consider making 1800-layout boards with a full case (Like The KBDFans ODIN or Corsair's K65 RGB Mini). I'm _preeettyyy_ sure the majority of gamers are ready to move on from floating-key designs. Not saying they have to get rid of RGB lighting, but I think an actual enclosed case would make a better aesthetic these days.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Hey there, {{3}}! Thanks for your comment. I completely agree with you on the need for more options when it comes to premium full-size keyboards.

[@jGRite]

The Keychron Q6 has replaced my Corsair k95. Although it's not working with via yet, it sounds so much better with a bit of modding. It also has a knob which shifts over the F keys which I will always look for in whatever keyboard I seek.

[@KennyKennTV]

Own a wooting two HE, and its not a joke when people say its a gamechanger for tac shooter gaming. To stop pressing the key as soon as my finger is lifted, as opposed to the key stopping being pressed after my finger is lifted, and it depressed the actuation point. Game changer for strafe shooting in valorant and cs go. Every video about strafe shooting tells you that you need to get the timing right. but with this keyboard you dont need timing because you are immediately accurate as soon as you let go of the key.

[@melon5111]

There are a few more but I am really looking forward to part two where hopefully you can cover these other keyboards and some of the highlights featured with each of them. Thank you for the video!

I'm a big fan of the 96% layout, which I don't see too often for mechanical keyboards. Basically get every key a full size has just more compact. Bought a hot swappable Royal Kludge Pro 100 that can be connected with both Bluetooth and wireless dongle on sale for $70.

[@Aaron_Lesse]

I almost bought that one since I loved the fact that it had a milled aluminium case. I went with the LTC NB1041 Nimbleback keyboard and modded it with PBT XDA keycaps and Gateron Inks V2 black switches for a gorgeously thocky and buttery smooth typing experience.

[@jonathanr4160]

@@Aaron_Lesse yeah I'm pretty noobish when it comes to mechanical keyboards. I just felt for the price it was a good deal since my main focus was a wireless one that didn't need to rely on Bluetooth and had good built quality. Aluminum casing is pretty tanky and I like the idea I can change the switches if I get sucked into the hobby even more haha.

While I switched to TKL since I don't really need a numpad and I have larger mousepad, it's still cool to see new full-size which may show some new features that my come on smaller eventually. The mini ones are just ridiculous to me, you don't really save any extra space like barely vs TKL but you lose half of keyboard almost. Don't want to FN half the stuff I use.

Numpad forever. Literally cannot be at a computer without a numpad. Tried TKL 1 time, that was enough to notice how much I use the numpad :D I also would love to see more Full size keyboards with a USB PASSTHROUGH. So few of them. And for some reason those few refuse to use USB 3 Passthrough :) Also hate bright leds. My Corsair numlock, capslock leds are so bright that if you dim down the lights and watch a movie you need to turn off numlock every time to not get blinded :D

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@rayquazahere8529 I think my optimal solution would be a keyboard with a detachable numpad that can also be put on the other side. My main use for the numpad (besides hotkeys in games) Is for entering lots of numbers in Excel, and for that it would be super useful on the left. Reaching over to the right end of the keyboard gets annoying, and the right hand stays on the mouse to move the selection to different cells. Yeah, there are people who do more than gaming on their computer, and buying seperate keyboards for gaming and non-gaming uses just means double the cost.

[@DoubleOSevan]

Tempted by some of these boards, but as someone who spends an ungodly amount of time in front of a computer for work, I really wish someone would make a mechanical version of the Microsoft Sculpt Ergo. There are some options, but they’re either riddled with gimmicks, have an exorbitant price tag near $400+, or don’t have a logical form factor for a productivity setup. After using something as comfortable as the Sculpt Ergo with a tented and angled board, you really feel the strain on your wrists and forearms from standard keyboards. Same goes for their Sculpt Ergo mouse (though the wireless tech is absolute trash if not in direct line of sight to the receiver). Alice/Arisu boards get close, but don’t achieve the same level of usability and comfort.

I would love to have one with a detachable numpad. I do use it to input long numbers in excel and bind voice channels to it if a game has more multiple. And for those having the numpad on the left side would be super practical. But at that point I wouldn't mind having a seperate numpad. I also don't like if the function key block is tinkered with, it really messes with touch typing when keys aren't where they are supposed to be. And for a maximum typing and gaming solution I would probably use two keyboards. One with linear switches for gaming, and one with tactile switches for typing. Both obviously the same brand and model, with removable cable, so that I could simply unplug one and plug in the other.

Thanks especially for this. I'm a gamer who sets up their (left) hand on the Num keypad (for lots of very good reasons, one of which is that if you are WASD your mouse hand is stretching and that's going to give you back and neck problems) and also an audio transcriber who types for a living, all of which amounts to: needs the full keyboard including full Num keypad. I tried the 'gaming keypads' just for your one hand, so far they seem to be uniformly anti-ergonomic and non-anthropometric (my industrial design degree tells me this). So thanks, this is an excellent start on my long quest (that definitely won't include Razer; I was given a new one to try and it's rubbish - packed full of stupid gimmicks, a volume knob I don't need and which doesn't work anyway, and FRAGILE switches that shatter if you look at them the wrong way - compared to the 'legacy' one I still have that dates back to when Razer were pioneers in the mechanical keyboard realm, that still works beautifully after, what, 15 years or something?).

I do not know if the switch connections are Cherry MX switch compatible. I recently have seen both the Z20 and Z15 priced between 30 and 60 dollars especially on the EVGA website.

@@cavedog1279 yeah, that thought has crossed my mind as well. They always seem to put down Corsair, yet praise Razer lately.

[@bestkoreanorth5696]

Without the number pad on a keyboard is equivalent to riding the short bus to school.

[@peterbrown-oi8cu]

I just love this keyboard! Its Kaihl BOX Red switches are just a miracle. I can type on it very quickly and accurately, and have fun doing it.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

I've been using the Corsair Strafe RGB with Cherry MX Brown switches for about three years now; I love it. I haven't been able to do a side-by-side comparison with the K70, but I don't have any of the complaints you had with that one. Maybe give the Strafe a test in your next video like this?

[@ThomasAT86]

Oh god the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro is pretty much exactly what I want...except...the price. Holy Cow. Thanks for the great video.

[@speedracer9132]

Why does no keyboard manufacturer make double shot LOW PROFILE keys

[@ikuma021]

YESS I've been waiting for this video

[@holongwong6479]

I will still go for Filco/leopold/varmilo if you don't need extra function, or ducky for lower price. The diffinitely not launch at 2022, but the last long and build very well. Most of their model still use Cherry MX switch which may not meet today standard feel, but the cherry switches in those keyboard feel much better on other brands especially gaming brands and proved to be longevite. If you need extra function, go for the gaming brands, but most of them (not the cheapest model) basically have same function, because the function is provided by the software not the hardware, unless the brand intendionally block the function to some models. (usually block the cheapest model) And if you want to use extra function without software, please see do the keyboard has internal memory to store those commands and function, even it does, do not mean all function can be use without software.

[@Aaron_Lesse]

In addition to the short list of excellent full-sized keyboards mentioned in my earlier comment on this video, I neglected to mention the Leopold keyboards, which do look amazing! Thanks for reminding me, and I hope Dimitri does a part 2 of this video to include all of those.

[@holongwong6479]

@@Aaron_Lesse The main point of this video is show the keyboard launch in this year, so.... part 2 most likely not happening.

[@Aaron_Lesse]

@@holongwong6479 I see. Well, perhaps Dimitri will be inspired by the success of this video to put out a "Best of" video featuring full-size, 98%, and 96% keyboards.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Hmm, there is the Filco Majestouch 2 with MX red switches for the same 200€ as the Corsair K70 RGB Pro and a bit below below the 235€ for the Flare II Animate from the video. The market really is different over here.

[@Zakkary]

Thanks, I really don't like the smaller keyboards, looking for a new full size one.

[@lediandary]

I just recently got into mechanical keyboards and I really want the full size. Watching this video convinced me that Keychron C2 is the best one for me. But, now that I went and looked for it online, it's not available anymore anywhere! .. All sold out. I was too late, oh no. T-T

[@diuran1919]

Please next super low almost flat profile keyboards, no need to be for the players but for everyone please.

[@SgtLone]

Good video but how about some full-size mechanical keyboard options with volume knob + media controls which don't cost a fortune. 😞

[@zakkeith1508]

Y'all always seem to release videos for things that I'm in the market for right when I'm in the market for them

[@JarutheDamaja]

I'm worried for the days when my Steelseries M500 will stop working. Should have bought 2 of them back then..

[@Sameerahuja662]

Would you ever be willing to do a Keyboard comparison like this where the audience can pick the keyboards or you do a poll with audience for keyboards they want to pick

[@CurseOfDeath]

Good review, i like my DeathStalker V2 Pro as well, awesome very silent keyboard.

[@bogdanmarianoloeriu3724]

New commers to this space would definitely appreciate if you could create a video focused on tactile and silent switches. (is optical, tactile and silent something that exist or is just a dream? )

[@VwSvNexus]

I recently got a keychron q5 and its hands down the best keyboard ive ever owned

[@Mt1200z]

Finding a full-sized ISO keyboard that is also RGB and does not cost an eye is quite difficult.

[@191.]

I will never understand why anyone needs TWO WAYS to input numbers. In my opinion, it's just not worth the extra bulk. Especially as a gamer. I often ended up bumping the numpad with my mouse, clicking accidently - so frustrating! Even as a web developer/programmer, I used to find myself too lazy to move my right hand all the way to the numberpad section and I was just using the alphanumeric keys. And then gone from full size to TKL to 60%. It's so cute, saves so much space on my desk and is much more convenient to carry. 🥰

[@TheSpringRolls_]

keyboard person here, I highly reccommend getting the hotswap options, so that you can swap the switches if you dont like the stock switches, some switches : Akko cs : very good for the price Gateron Milky Yellow KTT Switches : these are really nice when stock jwick t1 i dont really know every switch in existence so yea uh

[@Misa-hl5xw]

Long time fan of hardware Canucks but you guys should really go deeper into keyboards. It's like if you only reviewed prebuilt computers. Should mention: Royal Kludge RK96 (personal daily driver with Boba 4U switches and XDA keycaps), Keychron Q5/6, and DROP shift. Considering the audience is into building and upgrading PCs, it's pretty easy to move into doing similar for keyboards. I'm also done with keyboards that aren't hot swappable.

[@AlexanderDinebier]

I still prefer my K100 with added touchscreen. In my opinion none of the mentioned keyboards come even close to that one.

[@Flohpange]

Ok wow didn't even kno that existed! Is it being actively supported? I'm actually still using an antique G15 which has the old LCD screen - still useful. :D But the support/apps were always garbage then died off completely.

[@AlexanderDinebier]

@@Flohpange Sadly Corsair didn't give independent developers the option to create their own plugin for the screen. There's a lot of potential in it, but softwarewise you can't do as much with it as with the Logitech G15 screens. (As far as i know. Maybe they changed that.) So all i'm using it for is showing me total power consumption, system efficiency and time/date. (Corsair AX1200i supplies that via USB.) I'm also using a Streamdeck XL with HWinfo plugin for system stats. So each of the little screens in it is showing different informations. (CPU usage/temp, GPU usage/temp for each of the cards, water temp, pump speed, fan speeds, usage of every drive, network up-/download, and so on) The keyboard also has Streamdeck integration and 6 dedicated keys for it. I use them to switch between different profiles on the Streamdeck. The potential is limitless. What i'm using it for is just scraping on the surface.

[@ddpwe5269]

Can't wait until silicon dampeners and foam inside becomes main-stream. I think that's going to be super quiet.

[@MPaulCezanne]

I think you might have said the GMMK2 Full Size caps are PBT. I think they're actually ABS.

[@mataznuiz]

loving my wooting two HE

[@Dleger13]

Still rocking my razer blackwidow stealth. That thing just about predates rgb keyboards and is going strong.

[@sanghuloom6943]

I was surprised you didn't include HyperX Alloy Elite 2. Its super bright with is translucent keycaps. Keys are actually good. Price is even better. Its rgb effect is the brightest and the nicest that ive ever seen in a keyboard.

[@kUdtiHaEX]

Please do TKL wireless keyboards next.

[@HardwareCanucks]

We'll think about it. Good suggestion.

[@poodlemeister22314]

I've got my low profile g815 and I love it, except for the mushy m1-3 buttons, and media controls. wish those were actual buttons and not mushroom caps, but otherwise, it's great and I love it!

[@amoeb81]

The Keychron C2 is by far the sweetest for me. Too bad it's not available anymore. It sold out too quickly.

[@brumm3653]

Full size is full size. 96% is not full size. 1800 is not full size. There are still several keys missing on those keyboards compared to 100%. Why is everyone insisting on removing the numpad, and why they're making those "almost full size but cramped" layouts? Better would be to remove the arrows and nav block altogether, and leave the numpad in place - the opposite of TKL. See, there's the NumLock key since 1984, which means your num pad doubles as the nav block! But it seems no one is making such nav-less keyboards, which is a shame.

[@JonLaRue]

This dude said a keyboard with Costar Stabilizers was best. That Canadian Weed hit diffy.

[@goemboeck]

Keychron K4v2 for me. It's as compact as the GMMK one, is mac+pc, has wired and wireless. I modded the devil out of mine and is quite perfect for my daily use.

[@jelmerbff]

I just wish there was a place in the EU (pref Netherlands) to be able to test these kinds of keyboards. I know Razer for example has all kinds of Razer Stores in the USA but nowhere else. I have no clue yet about what my preferences are, what kind of typing experiences I like etc. but there's no way for me to figure it out except for buying and then returning them

[@BBHDragZz]

We only have 6 Razer stores in the US lol. Not exactly a lot considering the size of the country. I’m lucky enough to live near a Microcenter though which is usually where I go to test out new tech.

[@jelmerbff]

@@BBHDragZz I mentioned Razer as an example. The initiative is great. And while it's not much, it's more than 0 which is the amount in the rest of the world. Microcenter is not a thing here either, so that's not an option either.

[@darktrongaming6665]

Mediamarkt, Game Mania, Megekko walk in store. No huge choices, but you can test a few.

[@gnash58]

I know my Mountain Everest Max came from the Netherlands. If they have an outlet there, you should definitely check one out.

[@James_Mansbridge]

If you want a keyboard more for typing than for gaming, then Unicomp's Classic keyboard is a good shout too.

[@HardwareCanucks]

Isn't availability on that a bit...challenging?

[@James_Mansbridge]

@@HardwareCanucks Outside of the Mini M’s availability, I’ve not heard anything to say that it is. It doesn’t seem to be out of stock on the website.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

the Ducky One 3 without RGB or any backlight is great for work, Matcha and Fuji good clean looking and cheaper than the RGB version.

[@SveinNOR]

I have the K613 still, and like it a lot. I do however have a crush on the Huntsman series...

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

I would buy the Asus if it dropped the pointless animate option on the top right and left it blank and reduced the price. Not having secondary legends on the keys is a fail imo.

[@iamdickel8574]

i would also love a TKL version for that keyboard

[@lc7ineo]

I'm a Royal Kludge fan, I have the RK100 pro, RK60 pro and RK84 love them and can recommend them, with a few mods, you can make an awesome keyboard for cheap.

[@lepep._.9422]

Ugh I JUST got the K70 Pro. I do like it though, no regrets. However, that GMMK 2 looks pretty spicy.
