I fully agree with you that the first and last are the two best in this lineup. They have decent starting points, and since they are hot swap and you can mod them, it means you can get into the hobby for what would have been impossibly low prices not that long ago. Hell, I'm tempted to buy that first one just for the keycaps lol.

[@B2O15O15]

Yooo 2:12 That was my anonymous review This youtube video was recommended to me 7 months after I bought it. I chose it because: 1. advertised silent, 2. price, 3. labeled fn media keys, 4. TKL, and 5. appearance. Unfortunately the risophy 60 is no longer available at time of writing. The keyboard has been treating me pretty well, but in the back of my mind I intended to eventually build or buy a more premium keyboard down the line. Great to learn that the switches are hot-swappable! That was a feature I had not been expecting. I'll be upgrading to some outemu silent honey peach v3's, and maybe getting a wooting down the line for gaming, after the 80 comes out.

No software, no bluetooth, just easy RGB setting. Played thousands of hours on it, abused every single key of it, took it to 10 LANs, got coffe,tea,energy drink, b0ng water and literally everything else on it. And im still typing this comment on that BEAST💪Besides the keycaps being not matte anymore, everything is as when i got it, one of the best 50€ ive ever spent. There is no branding on it but i think it was called titanwolf but even if you find something similar right now i bet it would not be as great as this one.

Hey there Hipyo!👋 I have a little tip for your stabilizers to rattle less. First, take them out of the keyboard, and seperate the little metal bar from the stabilizers. Then on the 2 ends, put 1 layer of tape around the tiny metal bar. The best tape to use for this is a type of tape with a paper texture, but just plastic tape also works. It works for me, and my stablizers don't rattle anymore. I didn't even have to lube them, I just used tape. ⌨❤​

[@hysteria.1]

the redragon k552 deserves a spot in this video imo its a tkl with hot swappable switches, full rgb, and it have alot of potential for modding with alot of tutorials on youtube for it. the software for it looks alot like the t dagger keyboard in this video and one of its down sides is the cable is fixed and not swappable but can be modded

I've gone through a lot of keyboards trying to find one that works best, considering my disabilities. I did change switches and keys, and springs in keys, and while that was entertaining, it doesn't make my fingers or coordination any better. I ended up with some pretty expensive keyboards, some of which I kept, some I gave away. What I'm working on to type this is a Mountain Everest Max. Not a cheap keyboard. Would I recommend it? Not really, because it is very expensive, but it's not a bad keyboard either. How about checking some keyboards for people with physical disabilities? I cannot touch type because my fingers will not stay on the home keys, so I have to watch my hands, and even then, I hit the wrong key or the wrong finger moves. It's so much fun ( not really ).

I bought this A4Tech FStyler FS300 for 35 bucks like a few months ago and that thing is kinda underrated. It has the same aesthetic keycaps as the Keymove you showed here, but less busy legends and they're double shot. Came with deadening, linear HOT SWAPPABLE (although north facing LED) switches. A removable cable that's also pretty good looking and TWO FLIPPY FEET. There's one small funny problem, it's 96% which means no Home or End which is kinda a problem for me as a programmer, but I got around it by remapping page up and page down lmao.

I have an older Risophy that I purchased pre-pandemic and its awesome! I guess I got an okay one that is still my current main driver at work.

Hi! I just got absolutely hooked by your channel today! I saw in another video, the one were Stephen builds a keyboard, that you dislike numpads for some reason (probably space? idk). I thought you might like to check the Redragon K636CLO, or the E-YOOSO Z-19 keyboards. They both have 94 keys, are under $50, compact (kinda like a 75% keyboard), and they keep the numpad. I personally picked the Z-19 because in my region the Redragon doubles it in price due to shipping and import charges, and have had no problems with it in over a year.

A couple days ago I switched out the stock red switches for blue RedDragon switches….can’t wait to use them at work lol My ONLY complaint is the LED lights lol I wish it had full RGB support instead of the one color lights it has but for only $39 I’m not complaining one bit 🤙

So I saw a keyboard in my local second hand electronics/game store and it was in 1800 layout and mechanical and €20 so I instantly needed it, it is a Ziyoulang K3MAX, mine came with replaced caps but the default ones look nice, I changed them to ones I wanted anyway. turns out it ha 3pin hot swap switches, it has reds, which were not actually very suitable for hot swap as the lower housing was made in a way that would actually let them unclip, so I ruined a few of them, but it now has Gazzew tactile whites. Turn out, it has pretty nice silencing inside too, not RGB but the LEDS in it are "rainbow" but in a nicer way, than the rows, its kind of in diagonal blocks. I am thoroughly impressed. for further reference. I have aluminium boards about about 8 different boards, so its not my first rodeo, I have built some, desolderd and re switched one and have a few in parts to be built. So even with stupid expensive high end boards, this cheap one is really nice.
