[@compu85]

I must be a glutton for punishment... I've started using KeyTronic Foam & Foil boards at work and at home. I did grease the sliders.... made for a huge improvement in the switch feel. They wouldn't be any good for gaming, but for touch typing I find they work great. I like the light force, and early switch activation in the slider travel. These Q&A videos are great - looks like you have fun making them too!

Video quality is on the rise, great job!! As for the question, which of the following is more heretical? a) Salvaging an old TRS 80 with tall cream alps for a 40% keyboard build b) Placing a raspberry pi into a TRS 80 and adapting the internal keyboard to it, creating essentially a newer version of the older computer

[@AcelMoon]

The video not ending with "and here's a demonstration of me typing on this(or a) keyboard" makes it feel so out of place... Either way, love your videos, keep up the great work!

Yeah, I find them pretty annoying xD . I really love other accents, I find them fascinating, but the Dutch accent is too close-to-home for me xD .

[@iProgramInCpp]

0:33 I legit thought he was talking about that SM64 guy that did stars in half button presses

[@4cylchronicles]

I believe the interesting keyboards comes from an innate need to have the best possible thing connecting you to whatever you're doing. a keyboard and mouse are the only ways that connect you to a computer, as you can't just plug in your hands and type away into thin air. You need a keyboard and/or mouse to control a computer, and having the best one possible would make the computer seem better. If you have a crappy computer but a nice keyboard it's an enjoyable experience to just type, but if you have a very nice computer, but no good keyboard. It will be miserable.

[@TheRailroad99]

nice video :) You should try out an old IBM T60 as a laptop. They are quite cheap when bought used, and have a great keyboard in my opinion (easily the best non-mechanical laptop keyboard). And you can buy them with great high-res 4:3 screens. Just look out for one without an ATI video card, because these break more often. I fucking love my T60 (i have a 2007 model with a 15 inch screen and the ATI x1400 card). The keyboard has no flex at all, and a really nice deep sound because of the metal backplate. starting with the T61, these backlplates are a lot thinner. Greetings from Germany

[@hanakomisa]

R60 here, Yeah that 1400x1050 panel is fantastic.

[@digitsdigitsdigits808]

I have a T420 and I can attest. I think the T420/X220 is the last model with that keyboard and it's definitely the nicest one I've used. Too bad the screen is terrible, though they can apparently be swapped out for nicer panels relatively easily.

[@svetoslavivanov7905]

Laughing my ass off! Great and entertaining video as always, would give you my wallet and let you order what the hell you want in a pub :)

[@kafkalul]

"Honestly I don't give a shit" I'm dead lmao

[@MichaOstrowski]

I have the same opinion about touch typing. I've been typing without looking at a keyboard for years, and I can reach about 50wpm in English, and 65wpm in Polish, so I manage... it's enough for me to rather keep typing at this pace to earn money instead of spending time trying to learn how to type "properly". Also, in Poland ANSI also pushed out the ISO layout around the time PC's have become affordable and popular. ISO keyboards are purchasable here only in the form of US Int'l Logitechs - I actually have one like this...

[@heikki4919]

What kind of magic are you using to achieve so little background noise on the voice recording? The room does not really look sound treated and you don't exactly speak close to the microphone.

[@Chyrosran22]

I live on a main street as well xD . Just do a lot of takes, and get a good mic! :)

[@Chyrosran22]

I think it also helps that my voice is pretty low, so it goes over background noise.

[@bobbob-wi3ey]

Hey thanks for answering my questions, do you know of any uk keyboard meet up's

[@kace8442]

The only keyboards I don't completely hate on laptops (that I've tried) are the slightly older model Thinkpads from Lenovo. Mine is a T420. Highly repairable, parts everywhere, and under 200 bucks. The repairable part is big for me because I break everything I touch somehow. Laptops are notoriously one and done for me before stumbling on thinkpads.

[@GurtTarctor]

Thinkpad laptops are known for their very good keyboards (for a laptop at least). I have an X230 and it's really not too bad, plenty tactile.

[@CommodoreFan64]

I have to agree even my Lenovo Thinkpad X131e Chromebook has a decent keyboard, and they can be found used on eBay for cheap, and make decent portable machines if you don't need to game, and just get basic work done.

[@phillipsofthedriver]

Lenovo is offering the 25 year anniversary ThinkPad 25, with the old style keyboard. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/10/lenovos-25th-anniversary-thinkpad-brings-back-the-keyboard-we-love/ Limited run though. Probably ridiculously expensive.

[@tompramanaaccount8892]

I know you don't like razer product but have you ever tried/review them? I'm curious with your opinion about them, especially their razer ornata. people like it and they said that the membrane mechanical feel is very good because it has clicky switch like the real mechanical keyboard have. but the price tho. I know it isn't worth the money but I hope you review it and rant that keyboard. by the way nice video as always.

[@c0il462]

Hey, Poland uses ANSI too! Well, we actually use pretty much anything that ends up here, but mostly ANSI.

[@artem.boldariev]

Same thing for Ukraine. It seems that it is rather hard (but not impossible) to find a keyboard with ISO layout, too.

[@ianv3180]

Wow duurde lang voordat ik door had dat je uit Nederland kwam. Heb je nog een paar goede kringloopwinkels waar veel vintage keyboards liggen?

[@ThierryTheuns]

You're the very first KZbinr from the Netherlands that doesn't immediately reveal their nationality by their accent. Now I need to know your source for all these board in our small country.

[@Chyrosran22]

I got almost none of them from the Netherlands!

[@ThierryTheuns]

Damn, worth a shot. I've got a Model M-122 from Riga and an M0110 coming in from the US, was hoping you'd know someone to save on shipping. Guess I'll just have to suck it up, should have lived in the US.

[@garrettleahy6047]

If he were to get a laptop, he could go for a ThinkPad, like the T410. You can find them on EBay for less than $100, and they have great keyboards for a laptop. Although I dont know how shipping to the Netherlands would be

[@maciejpociecha6357]

What's your take on click modded Orange alps? I'm always torn between how good they feel and messing with the best tactile switch. It's like a subtler Monterrey, but there is so few of them :-(

[@GurtTarctor]

David Firth! Aww yiss.

[@BarneyKB]

missed out on the original questions section, but why do you say models m rather than model ms

[@thromboid]

Eeeeh, touch-typing in QWERTY? That always seemed rather pointless to me too. I'm sure there is some advantage to avoiding the anatomically weaker fingers as well. (That said, I've been touch-typing Dvorak for about 20 years and it's too late for me to go back now.) Brilliant channel, BTW. :)

[@squidiebah]

You can't blame Doom for trying, Doom 2016 was amazing and Eternal is also set to be event better. No one is making DOS games anymore. They set the bar and now it's up to game makers to maintain it.

[@trdi]

I had to google to see if I was really that old and fortunately I am not. Doom was released 24 years ago, not 34. I dodged a bullet there.

[@Tudorgeable]

You should consider a Thinkpad T42 keyboard,, the best keyboard on a laptop EVER, these laptops should cost next to nothing from corporate surplus. The T60 series was also decent but not as good. The newer Thinkpads have chiclet keyboard and a shitty layout, while that's bad, it's at least the best chiclet keyboard out of all of them.

Have you ever typed on tactile BTC foam and foil switches? I have a BTC Series 7000 board and IMO its switches are much better than the BTC Dome with slider ones (the ones from btc KB-51 series which is really popular in poland thanks to manufacturer called NTT Systems).

[@Chyrosran22]

Yes, I did a review on it!

[@aluxannar]

And I even watched it, but Ive forgotten about it! x)

And did you type on APC switches? I believe the only Tai-Hao switch you've covered on this channel are the Aruz switches

[@Nino-dj3es]

Honest question , im looking into buying a a mechanical keyboard not a linear switch like most of the gaming ones. I was looking into cherry blues but now that i see you say that theyre crap i dont know anymore. :)

[@Chyrosran22]

Best advice I can give you is there's no easy way out. If you want the best, you'll either have to sink time into searching, or sink money into it, or both. I get questions regularly that basically go "I want the best keyboard for no money and I don't want to do anything for it" - which unfortunately is not an option xD .

[@artman40]

I remember that earlier you mentioned that the best switches for gaming are the ones not being produced anymore.

[@Nino-dj3es]

think ill go with a cooler master quickfire rapid-i with cherry blues, its probably better than the crappy membrane keyboard im using now. Later on i might get something better, like the stuff in your reviews. Thanks for the advice btw.

[@Chyrosran22]

Nino that's fine, it'll still be a big improvement, and you might appreciate a later upgrade more :)
