Id love to buy one, however unfortunately you guys seem to not offer german keyboard layouts. Maybe that would be something for the future? For now wooting does this and thats why they win for me

[@BestShootermanUbz]

He sold out

[@Hazy666]

I have to say if you want a full sized Keyboard The corsair K100($218) and Razer Black widow v4 ($229) both felt and worked better for me then the Asus Claymore($217). I dont see a full sized keyboard being a problem like Mr. Frank here. If youre looking at raw performace those boards are no doubt A to A+.

[@BestShootermanUbz]

Him having a problem with full sized makes me think he doesn’t have any credibility ranking keyboards. Bias is too strong here.

[@Sweetguy1821]

I picked up my k100 almost 2 years ago for 170 on sale. So far it's been a fantastic board with no complaints.

[@grantmitchel2810]

As someone who used laptops exclusively for PC gaming the K100 Air is the perfect keyboard for me on my desktop. The low profile is the closest think I've used to a laptop keyboard. Most other keyboards felt big and clunky to me

[@jerkysans]

As a casual gamer who also needs my keyboard to be usable for work, I got the Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL. The white colorway is gorgeous and the typing experience is great. The stabilizers can use some lubing though as that rattle can be quite annoying.

[@elixxx]

I feel like people who are to lazy to put timestamps into their videos are often also to lazy to test a product.

[@andrewh4350]

Somethings you determine their value on their current offerings and some based on their past offerings (Logitech F tier price change, vs Asus Falchion old v vs new v). Consistency is key.

[@WachyMi]

As a fan of full size keyboards, it's kinda sad that you put the K100 RGB and Blackwidow V4 Pro on B tier simply because you dislike 100% keyboards I've been using my old K95 RGB with 18G keys for almost 8 years. Although I don't really use macros for gaming, they're SO useful for when I'm editing or to keep some shortcuts I regularly use, and as an engineering student, having the number pad right next to where I write while using windows calculator when doing homework is also very nice. Bought the K100 RGB past month and the build quality and feeling of this thing is no less than A-tier (idk about the Blackwidow tho, never used it)

[@Kai-gh3vl]

Any cool tech under 50 this month?

[@CFoug]

Appreciate Frank’s input - but how does GMMK and Keychron make A tier with +6ms latency? Wooting and Steelseries deserve S tier. K100 OPX and k70 Champion TKL OPX A tier in my personal opinion. Gaming pov not a typist although I can hit a solid 130wpm with the OPX. Corsair would be S tier if ICUE didn’t suck - and k100 specifically if the cable wasn’t so bulky and the ICUE wheel wasn’t so limited in use. I’d prefer to just lose the wheel all together tbh.

[@RareFXChrisC]

Huge bias against 100% full keyboards here

[@wildtime001]

I bought the Mountain Everest Max on your previous review, and it has become my daily driver. Also, Mountain is still creating add-ons for the Everest Keyboard, such as more macro pads, and from ordering to receiving my product from Austria to Canada took only 7 or 8 days. However, it is still quite expensive and that review which influenced my purchase was two years ago, so I am in full agreement with your ranking.

[@wombatcombat3770]

i shot for the Everest Max (cherry red) during black friday last year. it was for $215 AUD, about half the price as its usually $445-ish. absolute steal! problem is modding the thing is like disarming a bomb... the tolerances are super tight and many daughter boards connected to the main pcb which is why it is modular. out of the box, it sounds like sh!t compared to my brother's custom keyboard.

[@OGHawkeye]

this is the one i was looking for pal. 6 months is kinda meh, but you answered every question i had and covered the main layout of my choices.

[@DelScully]

Almost everyone who I've seen review the Wooting has said how meh it was and needed to be modded a lot to make better. interesting you put it up there but have the Azoth in A-tier..?

[@Rymc]

The Wooting 60HE is the nicest thing I've ever bought for my PC. Straight out of the box it's just perfect. They've nailed it. From the feel to the sound without any mods even. Highly recommend it. I also switched for the first time from full size to 60% and had so much fear since I use arrows and numpad etc a lot but with function layers and double keystroke features from Wooting I've had no regrets at all. I love it so much.

[@vookie91]

Love my wooting but the switches were dry as a bone and not factory lubed at all. only on the stabs. Definitely lube that baby up. Did the whole lube job, tape mod, burger mount, aluminum case. It's 100 percent better than stock.

[@-DawnZero]

The sound of the Wooting 60HE out of the box belongs in the absolute trash tier.

[@sidthixaychoummanivong5643]

Where to get one?

[@BrawndoQC]

As a 75% lover, ROG Azoth for me. Closest thing to a custom kb I ever had. I really don't like the strap on the wooting I hope they remove that ugly feature so I can try it eventually.

[@-DawnZero]

@@BrawndoQC It literally has a button on the strap.

[@jasonjennings8465]

I use GMMK 2 full size at work and another GMMK 2 65% for gaming. I just play Rust, so no need for all the special features of custom key stroke distances and that stuff. Yet it is a good mechanical board you can customize to get that good thoc feeling. Added a wrist rest to help with the higher profile.

I wish Wooting had a TKL version. I have been going down the custom keyboard rabbit hole lately & searching for something to buy as a project. Not sure if I want to build one or just buy another keyboard. Right now I have the HyperX Alloy Origins Core TKL with HyperX red switches & I added Pudding keycaps. Its been decent but looking for something new.

[@joesmithels3337]

I have a custom one I spent way too much on and the switches in this keyboard even when modded just don't sound the best, I love how they feel for gaming though.

[@twinblade02]

I think they do. Last I checked, they had a full size, 60% and TKL

[@TMacGamer]

@@twinblade02 Its not out yet. They are working on one apparently. They only have 2 for sale right now on their website & they are HE60 which is a 60% & the full size. A TKL is a 70%-75% with arrow keys Home, PGUP, PGDN, DEL, END, INS.

Am I missing it or are there seriously no timestamps for this video?

[@christopheratkins9791]

ASUS Azoth is god tier. I have a bunch of boards including bespoke customs, and the Azoth provides so much function and customizability that it's by far my most daily driven deck.

[@BrawndoQC]

It is, I have owned at least 50 keyboards in the last 2 decades, and it the first one that I feel doesn't even need to be modded, but it can be modded! I love it. 75% is my jam too.

[@ToshiCOE]

I agree

[@northernsoul0127]

Currently running their Scope II wireless and its the same deal, it's modded out of the box, all im going to do is tape the pcb and change the keycaps!

[@gwynbleidd07]

What app it's using Armory crate or Razer Synapse? Can you customize the actuation points? For me the main reason to buy it will be for gaming, to get that analog feel when you could walk/run (ala left joystick feel) mostly in 3rd person games. I'm torn between Wotting 60HE or Rog Azoth🤔

Curious where you would have put the Logitech g915 if you had included it.

[@MatthewCawley]

Looking to upgrade my Rocket Aimo 100, I'm looking at the SteelSeries Apex Pro (Full size which has the USB passthrough). How would you rate that at today's prices (£160). Not that I am also running on Mac OS which is software supported by SteelSeries so taking that into account on keyboard choice.

[@Salty.Peasants]

I'm going to give this list a Meh. You forgot to mention that the Huntsman and Steel Series Apex both have the same capabilities/perf as the Wooting 60HE, but unlike Wooting, both offer 75% and Full size options.

[@randomfrankp]

Those rappid trigger updates came out months after the video was filmed.

[@Salty.Peasants]

@randomfrankp Ok, fair enough. But I would place those three keyboards in the Z tier because of the analog features, plus the Asus Rog Azoth because it has the highest battery life in a wireless keyboard and looks the best "subjective". I take some points off for Razor not having an option for the Huntsman V3 Pro in white when the older one did, "Steel Series has a white limited edition of the Apex mini on their site only." But only on the Razor, unlike the Apex, can you change the switch type, sensitivity of rapid fire and the sensitivity of upstroke and downstroke, same as the Wooting. Razor has a slight edge on customizability.

[@HANIKADE02]

@@Salty.Peasants Razor alows you to change switches because you will surely want to do it xD.

[@bdarcos]

Are there any full size keyboards that you would bring up there to because I personally rather have a full size. And I'm just trying to figure out are there no full-size keyboard that would be god tier or anything like that because they have a keypad?

Just moved from the Razer Huntsman Mini to the Wooting 60HE+. Wow. I didn't realize what I was missing. Razer Huntsman Mini goes into the storage box in the garage now. The Wooting is the best by a mile. It's customization, build quality and tech are well above it's price range. Managed to grab one in stock too, no wait period.

[@Lukosification]

If you are going to do a "Gaming Keyboard Tier List", but your prefer 70% keyboards (which is fine of course). Might i suggest making a separate video for the full keyboards and the ones with G keys? Else you might as well could have left them out of this list. On top of that, leave retail prices out of the video imo. You are mixing old and new retail prices into your list... it doesn't make sence. Having said all this, amazing video. love the content!!

I love my GMMK pro, but I’m still bitter about the quality control of their stabilizers. Had it since launch, and they’re still ridiculously sticky and broken. Should’ve been a recall.

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

My favorite is my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL (2023). The best gaming feature is the dual-activation mode for the OmniPoint switches. For example, I set the W key for walk at 1.0 and run at 3.0. All the main keys can be dual-activated. My keyboard of choice for work/long typing sessions is my. Keychron K7 Pro with Gateron Brown switches. Stellar video, mate!!

Still using razer huntsman mini linear. So good. I have the white version and I think razer is making a mistake not making v3 of this keyboard. Blackwidow mini should also be available in white/mercury. No idea how hyperx is above that. Huntsman got stabs in each key, rubber dampeners and is optical. cmon

[@Levonbeg]

It should be A tier or god tier I don’t think it should be B tier

[@Levonbeg]

Wooting and razer huntsman have same performance so it’s just like more of a build quality and sound competition

[@JuanCAraujoS]

I'd keem Nuphy on the radar. The Air line is more in line with the Fnatic keyboard or the G915 slim profiles and the Halo line is more traditional. All hot-swappable, good-looking, moddable but looks like there's no need to mod them. Ah, and they're wireless. I'm considering pulling the trigger on the Halo75.... but I'm on the fence bewteen the white and black variants. (Add some WoB keycaps to the white one and you'll get a sleek stormtrooper look you can turn into a 501st look by adding some blue lights).

[@chacky4krsma]

Bought the Razer Ornata V3, after the Razer Ornata V2 and I like it. I really don´t understand why anyone would buy a Keyboard without a Numpad, except beeing a person who hasn´t learned the 10 Finger System and the Numpad for Mathematical calculations. Playing Ego-Shooter with the Numpad is so much more effective (!) If you can get the Razer Ornata V2 or V3 for under € 100, you don´t have to think much about the other options - it´s just one of the best choices you can make. The V2 has a nice wheel, where the V3 has plastic buttons for the Volume.

Although ive been considering several ROG boards, the ones with the works obviously. really think i have to get at least one of the Razer V4's. And lastly i cant really explain how i have this itch to get a corsair board but its gotta be their best option. They disappoint me with their quality of rgb sometimes and i just want to get an option of theirs that i can truly be satisfied with. If i can check those boxes off than i think i will have satisfied my new setup keyboard itch.....now on to the mice, and speakers.
