I've been on 60% for years, although my absolute favourite is the Vortex vibe with cherry clears which is a 60% with a numpad attached.

On the Razer, I like the fact that you can keep your fingers on the home row for using arrow pad, with the right pinky holding Fn. Good for teh CLI. Also Razer's software for customized effects is pretty awesome.

[@Chaoszer046]

One more thing to know about the Ducky One 2 Mini (which maybe other keyboards support this but nobody ever really talks about it) is that you can on a hardware level make the Caps Lock key an Fn key. This feature for me makes it a viable main keyboard replacement as the Caps Lock button is so much easier to press than the regular Fn key at the bottom right. For example, this especially makes it much easier to access the right handed function keys compared to if you had to press them while also trying to hold down the right hand side Fn key.

[@jasonfriesen5145]

@Set Sett As Set I have had some issues like that. With the wired connection I found that the included type c cable didn’t work well. I ended up buying a braided aftermarket one and don’t have any issues with it. Also if I just unplugged and replugged in the stock one it worked fine, but I had to do that about 1/2 the time I restarted my PC. Bluetooth takes some time the first time I connected it to my Mac, but after a few tries it connected and I don’t have any problems there now either.

[@jasonfriesen5145]

@Set Sett As Set It was frustrating at first and it took me a while to actually figure out why it was acting strange, but now that I have it figured out I’m completely happy with it. Don’t see myself getting a different board for a long time.

You could've also added the Keychron K6, which is 65%, bluetooth and starts at 70$. For and additional 30$ you'll also get RGB backlightning, an aluminium frame and hot-swap sockets. The stabs come pre-lubed; the major downsight are the stock keycaps (ABS, feel rather cheap).

[@jerry9548]

I bought the Vortex Race 3 RGB MX silent red switches (75% keyboard) some weeks ago and I am pretty happy with it. It's the perfect mixture between a keyboard for gaming (my desk is really small) but also for other productivity-related stuff like writing text or programming. My cousin has a 60% and the missing f-keys and the missing arrow keys are really bad if you are used to them. I found 75% Keyboards to fit my needs as a hybrid between gaming and productivity pretty well.

[@JellyLancelot]

Been using a Ducky Mecha Mini for nearly a year and I love the keyboard, especially with the bottom 4 right special keys remapped to arrow keys without FN. Having the fully metal chassis also improves the bottoming out sound, it’s all but gone, and weighs a metric ton lmao

I built myself a budget custom board, and I just cannot go back to prebuilt boards. However, Anne pro 2 and ducky one 2 mini definitely deserve a recommendation. For me, personally, the Anne pro 2 got me into the 60% design, customization and in general made me inquisitive about keyboards.

I’m always impressed by the quality of your videos and you cover a lot of great topics, I hope your channel sees a lot of growth this year you deserve it.

[@mpgcamo]

Running the Asus ROG Falchion for gaming and I am loving it for the most part. I did install O-ring dampers on all keys which resolved the bottoming out noise and it feels excellent. However, There is an Achilles heel. I have large hands and so using the left Shift key when sprinting in Warzone etc. I tend to put pressure on left hand side of the key which is using a metal wire with stabilisers and the key can bind up once the pressure across the key is not centred and I have died multiple times because the key got stuck as a result. Love the vids /peace

Hey great content, can’t wait for your next tech review. Was wondering what your thoughts are on Parvum Systems PC cases and Rama Works new upcoming machined aluminum case?

[@nickthaskater]

Would love to see you cover more of the "boutique" options in these comparisons. The new Cannon Keys Bakeneko60 and the Rama Kara, for example. It'd be great to show others how those stack up to the "mass market" options presented here. The Tofu was a tease for exactly this. Good to see the Anne Pro 2 sneak in there at the end. Mine is still kicking, and I've put some Mill-Max hotswap sockets with Durock T1 switches in it to bring it into the modern age. Wish I could fix the Bluetooth connection, though...

[@munther_17]

thank you, just what i needed

[@pepapu7112]

Honestly, the Anne Pro II is the best. Having that tap arrow key function is the deal-breaker. The bottom right 4 keys are arrow keys if you tap them, and they're their original binds if you hold them, so you can use the right shift/ctrl as you would normally on a bigger keyboard.

[@ValenGR86]

Actually depends of the specs of who wins but in the most favorite depends of the community expierence whit the keyboard (time, defects, quality, pros and the most used) and later is the yours opinion what 1. Why do you like it. 2. Know the bad parts what you dont like or the problem of the keyboard itself. 3.You need to know what theres a lot better keyboards 4. Accept other person opinions about yours and other keyboards At specs wins the huntsman obiously At community is more like a race because u dont know who is the favorite of the most of the peoplw And yours what is the Anne Pro 2

Really surprised by the ROG Falchion, I've never even heard of it but the fact that its 65% and with good wireless is really cool. You could mod it by desoldering the switches and replacing them with some nice lubed ones but of course that takes time and money + it usually voids the warranty. Interesting board nevertheless. Edit: after checking out the price I can't say it would really be worth buying because you could build a damn good custom keyboard for less than or equal to that...

[@SVT_LIGHTNING]

I love my huntsmen mini with the red switches. But I modded it a lot. It came sounding pretty nasty. But I did the foam mod. I tighten up every single stabilizer on the switches. I lubed the long stabilizers with krytox GPL205. I use 2-3 o-rings on every single key cap to dampen the depress strokes “and that made a huge difference believe it or not”. I switched out the key caps for pudding for the rgb. With those simple mods it’s so quite and sounds like a membrane keyboard now and I honestly love that. It’s so quite you don’t hear anything but has a great feel extremely smooth key stroke that you don’t get with a membrane keyboard. And I also did the magnetic quick disconnect cable to make for easy movement around the house and to store it when not in use being it came with no dust cover.

[@iPain3G]

I have the Huntsman Mini and made the foam and tape mod and luped all the stabilizers. Now the keyboard feels and sound absolutely amazing. I also added the razer wrist rest and taped it with a strip of double sided foam tape to the Huntsman Mini. In my opinion one, when not the best, 60% keyboard for everyone who won't build a custom one. I freaking love this keyboard and see no reason the switch to a different one.

[@arguelles7]

@@bartfelix2949 I disagree with how you feel about having a keyboard angled. How you have your keyboard is all up to your personal preference, most of the time I have it slightly angled downwards to the right, due to my keyboard being huge, though some have it that way for many different reasons, either it be their keyboards are huge or small. It’s not exactly useless to have your keyboard on an angle, as for the reasons written above. Sometimes I even change up and have it in it’s normal position with no tilts or anything, it just depends on how I’m feeling that day.

[@micahbrown9868]

I wanted to get my first mechanical and 60% keyboard (never had either). I needed something budget so I went with the Redragon K530. Cost about $60, has really good build quality for the price, a ton of awesome features that you normally wouldn't find at the price (it has Bluetooth with 3 different connections that you can switch between, although I use it wired). It has Brown switches which I really like as it's a good balance between Blue and Red (I've tried both). Oh and yeah the switches are hot swappable, and it comes with one Black, Red, and Blue switch so you can try them out before you go and buy a new set. Definitely a great budget option (I think it's cheaper now), and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a budget 60% mechanical keyboard. As an FPS gamer (Apex Legends baby), I'm never going back to a bigger keyboard.

[@ties9123]

Brown is not a good balance between red and blue. Red is a linear switch, blue a clicky tactile switch and brown is a normal tactile switch. You should lube the switches to get a better sound.

[@huntertodd3744]

In my opinion get the Anne Pro 2. The Anne Pro 2’s advantage over this list is the customizability with key functionality. Using the software you can even move things like your Fn key so you can access your F1-12 while using one hand (I swapped my Fn with my windows key) this simple swap basically negated my fear of leaving behind tkl layouts. Also QMK works on this keyboard so tinkerers can literally make this thing do anything they want with it

If you're looking for a keyboard that doesn't sound rattly on stock, I highly recommend picking up the Anne Pro 2. All the firmware updates pretty much resolved the bluetooth issues it had on release. I got mine for roughly 60 usd on gateron reds. But you also have other switch options like kaihl box and cherry mx. Imho, cherry mx red sounds so much scratchier than gateron reds.

Dude, I _love_ Kailh Box whites. But yeah, I did end up getting a keyboard with linear switches since it was so loud.

Damn, that razer one sounds awful. Gotta say I'm pretty happy with my Anne Pro 2, best for the money imo

I've got a Keychron keyboard that I love and they're getting ready to release a 60% keyboard. It's the K12 and I would love to see you review this one in a future video.

[@ChickenShred]

do top best 75% keyboards next!

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Is mechanical versus membrane a personal thing for gaming? Like do mechanical actually offer an advantage as I don't miss those sounds as a laptop user!

[@ties9123]

Mechanical feels a lot better, sound better and just better quality. If you get a hot swappable keyboard you can just choose what switch you want.

[@korneliuspgk527]

Usually mechanical keyboards have a better typing feel and depending on the switch they can register presses faster or using less force

[@eniojurko]

they are faster, especially when you get used to them!

[@schizoivan]

More keyboard videos? 😋

[@Sykeye7]

Love the video, great info! :) But what about the Redragon Draconic? It's very cheap and good enough imo.

True. I bought a gk61x then some pudding keycaps and hk gaming pro sky blue switches and it’s pretty nice

[@mattgavioli6762]

yeah, it's also the one that breaks your wallet the most i get it, build quality, customization, feeling, and so on, but a keyboard should not cost as much as a mid ranged gpu (when gpus are priced like gpus, not like small used cars)

[@percy543]

You should have a look at the Keychron K6 either the base model or the aluminium hot swappable version; BT or wired can be paired to 3 devices, 65% so a touch more forgiving than 60%, Mac or Win support, USB type C, no bloatware and onboard lighting control. Only cons I've found is non standard layout and needs special keycaps and the keys are ABS but they are decent so I'm not worried. I've been blown away by the quality and feels really good to type with for a budget board. I picked up the non hot swappable version on special for $69aud, as it's my first 65% from TKL I wanted to see if I'd like it rather then spend the extra. I definitely would have gone the hot swappable version if I'd know I'd be this happy with it but in saying that the optical browns feel great and I'm more than happy with them. I genuinely think the typing experience is way nicer and feels more premium than some of the top end Corsair, Razer and Logitech's I've tried or owned.

[@danejacques2119]

I have a Ducky Mecha Mini with Cherry MX Reds. Beautiful board!

[@lukro.]

i think the build quality of the hunstman mini has gotten better, i tried one at my local jbhifi and there was no rattle at all, it was completely smooth

[@theb4r138]

I’m hoping some good low profile 60% come out soon. I haven’t found one with all the features I’m looking for. The coolermaster 60% low profile with new key caps will have to be good enough for now

[@mark11011]

Fnatic streak 65 lp is solid choice

[@theb4r138]

@@mark11011 that looks like a good one. I’m using a hot swappable keycron LP right now and I like everything about it other than the all plastic build and key caps
