Okay, I like Arun, his mostly right about a lot of tech, but his experience with his EV does not match the majority of EV users in the UK. I've been driving EV for 4 years now and I've had 0 issues, I've never had to wait 3 hours for a charge, EVER. The issue he made here is the EQS is just not a good car, sure it says Mercedes on the front, but they're are reletively inexperienced making EVs. Tesla, Kia, Hyundi, BYD, MG, Fiat, Audi all make far better EVs and have significantly more experience at making them. Also there is significant misinformation in his 'opinion' on this. Traffic does not impact EV batteries. If the car isn't moving, its barely using energy. The heater will make a small impact but most EVs are now heat pump based and you'll be looking at losing 1-2% of battery per hour at the most. Range lies, well thats on Mercedes here. My Tesla Model 3 gets the range stated most of the time in Spring/Summer/Autumn, maybe 20% less in winter.

It's still awesome 90% of the time when driving close distance. It's well known if you want to drive distance Tesla is the only option. Good range and a charging network you can rely on. On the positive side the experience will only get better as more chargers open.

[@Lord_Winchester]

​@@BenWeatherillBut do you regularly drive 300 Miles like he said he does? Sure, it's really bad marketing on Mercedes, but the problem persists. Finding a free charger, when you are in dire need of one is way more challenging than finding a free pump. And if a pump is occupied, it's available within the next 5 minutes. A charge-stop can set you back another 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Sure, you could just charge up for like 10 minutes, but then you are back at the same problem after 100 miles. Commuting with an EV makes sense, if you can recharge overnight. But for longer distances it's just painful.

Corsair's mechanical keyboards and I have had problems. USB was horribly inconsistent when it came to disconnects. More so, anything that interfaces with iCue software. Firmware bricked my keyboard. Software is nothing short of old google chrome levels of resource hogging. iCue and Razer Synapse both hold bad tech memories for me. That being said maybe it was never the keyboard's fault. 10/10 for feel and annoyance factor. Careful with the firmware and iCue software.

[@ivoryowl]

Mechanical keyboards are overrated IMO. They used to be very common back in the 80's and 90's but fell out of favor for membrane keyboards, who where softer and quieter. Try working in an office with 20 of those being used at the same time and you'll understand why... Main reason why they are making a comeback now it's due to the influencer hype and the fact they have become a sort of status symbol among gaming enthusiasts. If you've got a mechanical keyboard and it works for you then great, but the reality is most people don't need one. The best keyboard you can get is one you like and feel comfortable using. Membrane keyboards are cheaper, quieter and often times sleeker (which makes them more ergonomic without needing to buy extra accessories like wrist rests). And honestly, why spend 100-200$ when you can just go for a fully functional 20$ keyboard? I understand the alure of following the hype train and wanting to try things, but really, more important than what others say is what you think is best for you and your situation... Don't feel bad if your opinion doesn't align with current trends.

[@orsteinnkristjansson5315]

i think it's a use case issue, main reason for choosing mechanical keyboards is N-Key rollover (ability to hold down many keys at once and they all register), Membrane keyboards are usually 4-Key rollover up to 6-Key (4 key meaning you can hold down any 4 keys and they all register but 5th might cause the keyboard to report no key being pressed) depending on key position and some special keys (Shift-Alt-Ctrl) you can go over the listed value but its listed as the minimum you can be sure works. For writing where most multi key uses are Shift + Letter, Ctrl + S and Ctrl + P, Any membrane will do fine. For Gaming or certain IT tasks where you set up multi-key keyboard macros for some tasks you will want at least 6-key rollover or a mechanical keyboard.

[@ralphkleinguevarra]

@@cyover4401how fast do you type really? I switched from a Drop CTRL High Profile with Everglide Amber Orange to the Keychron K3 with red switches and did not feel any speed change. You will just adjust for a few days. I’m a 135-ish wpm typist and can type that fast back and forth and with any keyboard really. Just have some “getting used to” adjustment.

Fair with disliking the Corsair keyboard, I have one of them. Corsair's QC is terrible. My main issue being that the LEDs tend to start dying right after warranty runs out, had 5 of them by now. However, it does come with a fairly decent wrist rest, with two different textured sides to it. Could've just used that. Also, there's about a 1000 different switches out there. Maybe linear just isn't you. Could go for some blues or so, even if the noise might be worse. There's silent as well.

[@maplemangoo]

[@galvendorondo]

I think the problem you encountered with mechanical keyboards was the fact that you went straight for a specifically gaming keyboard. While appealing for some people, there are far better options by companies such as Keychron and other more enthusiast brands. The recent Blackwidow V4 75% is a really good example of a *good* gaming mechanical keyboard, and I think you should give it a try.

[@aaronthomas6155]

The problem he encountered is actually the fact that not everyone actually likes or can adapt or become accustomed to mechanical keyboards. I've had my Logitech G815 for about 9 months now. I still can't type nearly as fast or as accurately as I could my old Roccat ISKU or my Logitech G213. If typing were more important to me, I'd have either stuck with my G213 or gone with a Logitech Signature K650, K120 or K270.

[@galvendorondo]

@@aaronthomas6155 What I’m trying to say is that different switches have different typing feels for mechanical keyboards. The problems you might encounter for one switch might be completely irrelevant or absent for another switch. It’s all about trial and error.

I think he was refering to the exact model he bought, and I think that it is a personal opinion video, more than buy or don't buy these products. I had a corsair K95 exactly like his, and I can confidently say itis NOT worth the huge price. Keycaps started breaking 4 months in, as the slot for the switch to lock is so flimsy. Then I found Keychron, and for a fraction of the price of that corsair keyboard, I have a custom one, with hotswappable switches and the option to print my own keycaps as there are hundreds of 3d Models out there for it.

I mean I hate to be *that* kind of guy but if noise and travel distance was a real problem, he could probably get a keeb with low profile silent switches.

He needs a heavier weight switch too because he likes bottoming out. Too bad my recommendation for him no longer is being made

[@somethinglikemayer]

His review was also extra wrong when the Corsair K95 Plat also comes with a wrist rest which has 2 sides and the holder is detachable. It's a 200€ after all. What baffled me the most is the excuse to have lost speed using the best switches to type ease and accuracy. Downsides on this KB are the detachable pins or the wrist rest are not particularly sturdy and the size of some keys are different that most brand so you need custom keys. But he reviews mechanical kb in a whole and what he's telling me is he didn't use it enough to get used to it as you have to, coming from all these membrane and chiclet ones...

[@malixcrash4126]

Mrwhosetheboss I politely request that you *give mechanical keyboards one more shot!* I understand your complaints, but one of the reasons why they're so popular is because you can go out and make one tailor made for yourself and your needs. As someone who has literally been running that *exact* keyboard for years, I can say it's really just a low bar entry point. You'd be surprised what you could get with a bit more cash and some personal time and effort put into it!

[@Ground-Spam]

To be fair, the MS ergo keyboard he selected is a "mechanical keyboard" as well as the apple ones. There is no membrane, those are all scissor keys (or some form of it) and really good ones at that. Also you can't really ask the general public to go into hobbyist kbs. There are a few decent ones from the big box brands, but they likely won't fit him exactly. I went with a non mainstream kb with some hobbyist switches, its a lot of effort and I'm not sure I have exactly what I want.

for the keyboard thing, it's better to build your own keyboard using switches that suits you, personally I use really quiet switches that short travel, on top of putting on o rings, that resting my hand on the keyboard will bottom it out (super low actuation force as well).

What you're saying is next level, even with off-the-shelf keyboards you can get a satisfying experience. mrwhostheboss mentioned minuses that are very personal. Sound - many users don't care about the noise they make(plus there are so many types of switches with various levels of .. well everything). The wrist strain - easy to solve with a wrist rest. Bottoming out - again, different switches with different levels of everything. Sure, some people don't like mechanical switches, but if you really give it a proper go, there's no going back. That said, I would not reccomend anyone getting into it if they like their membrane switches, mechanical gets very expensive very quickly.

[@trianglegaming615]

one solution for the mechanical keyboard is to get a gasket mounted keyboard, which is softer and bouncier to type on, and do make the keyboard quieter, consider adding some foam or other mods to make it quiter, or perhaps quieter switches, as i think the keyboard is hot-swappable. different keycap materials may help too

Yea so for the keyboard, get the razer huntsman elite. Its def clicky, but it has laser optical switches so the slightest press triggers a keypress. and it has a magentic wrist rest, super comfy. Downside: Kinda slippery keys.

It's so sad you rarely see splitscreen in games anymore. I think the main reason for this is with the advancement in graphics and such, you have to spend more and more time into optimization for those graphics as well. And having a secon camera just means you have to render double the amount of graphics on screen. Meaning it's scrapped in most big budget games which sucks!

For a mechanical keyboard it's probably just cause you got the wrong one, there's many different types of switches, Silent MX cherry switches for example or even low profile switches

[@Aertyn]

Yep, I went with Silent Linear switches and the typing experience is amazing, it's also a hotswap keyboard so if I didn't like them I could easily swap them out with different switches.

[@hhaste]

Not to mention he bought a prebuilt gaming brand, which are all horrible in terms of sound and feel. They all have very rattle-y stabilizers that require modifications to really make sound and feel good.

[@Aertyn]

@@hhaste Yep, the only pre-built 'gaming' keyboard I'd recommend is the new Razer, everything else is just...eh. I ended up with a Ducky, but swapped out the switches for Gaterons (though am wanting to try the Boba U4's...being in Oz limits my options somewhat as shipping here can be expensive and annoying). Lubed them up and it's a super smooth typing experience. Going for a gaming keyboard when you're using it for productivity isn't the best idea. Keychron make some great 'pre-builts' and their low profileis fantastic, same with Nuphy.

Mechanical keyboards do take some fiddling to get it all right, but that’s also part of the fun of it. Trying out new switches, keycaps, foam, etc. Still not for everybody, but I think it’s worth sticking with it and tweaking things to get it just right.

I wouldn’t call myself a keyboard fanatic, but I definitely value all the different approaches you can take.

[@cybershocked]

Mechanical keyboards vary a lot, and I would say some of your issues there come not from it being mechanical, but characteristics of that one that simply do not suit you. There are low profile switch options with significantly less travel, and certain switches or o-rings to cushion the bottoming out, and with lower noise than clicky audible feedback ones. There are keyboard designs, and maybe even modifications to reduce the sound even more. But those still may not make it a good fit for you personally. If a membrane keyboard suits you well, there isn't a need to change. Mechanical keyboards vary such a huge amount, it would be ignorant of someone to declare a keyboard better for someone for reason of it being mechanical alone.

If PS5 offers the same multiplatform titles AND better exclusive titles, what's the benefit of Xbox? None.

@@being_mr_gamer386 You actually can, but you'd have to use the used market. If you want new you can get a PC for around $700 (you need gold to play online on Xbox so it'll pay for itself anyway) plus you can get that for $400 by just getting a PS5. Xbox is really not in a good position at all right now and people only buy it because of the "most powerful" claims (I know it's technically more powerful but tests have shown that PS runs games better) and because of brand loyalty. It's either PC or PS now, Xbox shouldn't be a consideration and I'd never recommend it to anyone.

Damn, this video was more of an eye opener than I thought. I've been wooe'd so many times by the BlendJet commercial, but damn your experience broke the marketing spell they had on me. Mac pro was obvious, especially after Apple Silicon. It's actually impressive how good the Apple Silicon chips are. The mechanical keyboard issue is something I always related to. I've always felt the same and I can type much faster on my laptop keyboard. The EQS and electric cars in general really do have an industry wide issue where they exaggerate range and charging speed. I love EVs but I cant recommend it to people when they overhype the specs like this. And lastly the PC handheld gaming. It is frankly overhyped and I am glad someone actually took the time to lay out the practicality of it,

Wish they would change there mind on that one point.

[@davefevans]

I'll have to say your first review on the blender, the tube is removable and it is easy to clean. I get it, it's still a mini blender that a regular size can be used to do a larger volume, it does come in handy with people with little counter space and serves as a single solution to make smoothies for a drink my kids can take for school over making a larger volume that we might not drink all of.

[@00SNIVY00]

I bought a blendjet for the form factor and being able to make individual servings and being easy to finish. When I make stuff with my vitamix, I always find myself adding more and more in after each drink, instead of finishing the little bit that is left at the bottom. That's a me problem, but the blendjet does help with that, I have to be more mindful of the space that I have to use. It definitely has some shortcomings when it comes to frozen things, but working around that, it's helped me out. I've only noticed the ads more recently, months after I bought it.

[@sahildongre4242]

[@HiroiSekai]

I HATE my BlendJet. I got one simply because I wanted the sort-of "one cup" size blend while I was watching my health. Was also a bit sold on the easy cleaning method, which as mentioned, is not great. To expand on the video, BlendJet's motor is very weak. My goal was to put in frozen fruits and skim milk with things like chia seeds and hemp hearts for a cold morning smoothie. These absolutely suck at blending anything with any force. When I put frozen fruit in, the blade gets half a second in, then just stops. Then, the light starts blinking red. After adjusting the contents over and over, you get it to blend a tiny bit more. Then, the damn thing just immediately runs out of battery. It has an effective battery life of around 10 minutes, no joke. You can't even plug it in once it stops and use it, because it has to recharge slowly to near full to regain its already limited power. It's absolutely frustrating, and if you want to blend stuff, just get a normal blender.

[@someoneonline5566]

Couldn’t agree more with the keyboard, i am so used to flat, quiet and simple keys (also the Macbook keyboards). As soon as I even see a “normal” keyboard I loose all my typing habilities and all of a sudden i take 30 minutes to write a sentence with 30 grammatical errors.
