The WORST gaming keyboard I've tried...

[@Pividol]

Roccat really is doing everything in thier power to not be taken seriously in the gaming peripheral space.

[@Condred]

Seems like a lot of sacrifices were made in order to keep it low profile

[@DiamondLobbyReviews]

Not even that low profile. Fnatic streak is lower than this

[@setone28ua]

It's not a low profile, it's kinda mid, because of that slim keycaps.

[@a.w_.]

I feel like at this point the best options are either the Wooting or just building a custom at whatever budget you set. There’s no real reason to be buying these branded “gaming keyboards”

[@TMKM]

i guess now that rapid trigger got added to the apex pro/razer huntsman analog, these boards are at least worth considering if u want the pure gaming performance of the wooting where it is unavailable/significantly more expensive. but besides that, i completely agree with you

[@babylaaamp2809]

agree, came from razer blackwidow 2019 to IKBC CD108 to my own build around 50usd, I regret that I bought razer keyboard and green switch

[@MekaniQ]

​@@TMKMyou are right on that point

[@a.w_.]

@@TMKMyou’re right, I forgot about those.

[@roderik1990]

Though supposedly the new Blackwidow is at least decent from a keyboard enthusiast perspective. And if you care for such things, the RGB is massively better than any of the QMK based keyboards.

[@Daxter...]

love the transparency in your reviews lol giving the potential buyer a real unbiased opinion

[@fwabble]

This.

[@talldarkshark8012]

That strap-on joke was hillarious. Great video, as always.

[@c0ffeefather]

I swear Roccat has to make products not just for Roblox and Minecraft kids. They need to focus on the burst and kone shapes. They can have something amazing if they even do half of what logi and razer do.

[@fwabble]

They have so much potential

[@not_tadashi6112]

minecraft is where most their consumers come from so they mostlikely wont change. Why change and risk ur profit when u already have a consistent market?

[@Eonymia]

I mean, focusing on the Kone and Burst shapes for 15 years got them taken over by Turtle Beach, so I'm not sure that was working either.

[@Billy_The_Frog]

Im no expert, but im pretty sure making the keycaps low profile doesn't reduce the keyboard's height if the switches are still full sized.

[@Innuya]

I think weight would've been a good metric to include in the video.

[@Ne0tax]

since Turtle Beach bought out Roccat, they've only come up with garbage.

[@max10hoop]

Ah, that explains it.

[@coyotex850]

makes sense, out of all the gaming stuff ive ever used, turtle beach had the worst build quality out of every other brand and by a wide margin

[@Frizzyy]

having ultra thin keycaps trey mounted like that are bound to wobble and sound like ass so no wonder the product ended up being what it is

[@MrBonk2011]

5:20 ... have you removed the ">" keycap before? Or is this the normal Roccat build quality?

[@DiamondLobbyReviews]

nah that was me lole

[@coyotex850]

problem with roccat is they focus more on aesthetic than form and function, their stuff looks pretty on a desk but that's where the pros end

[@axelhopfinger533]

Can confirm. Also their mice are garbage, switches and mousewheel break al the time after only short usage. Looks good, but quality is underwhelming.

[@joelconolly5574]

You should do the DrunkDeer keyboard. They seem to compete with Wooting, to an extent.

[@moc5661]

Safe to say Roccat wont be sending you anymore of their products to review 😂

[@MrMaxim]

Roccat: Here you go Roccat: NO WAIT Huge props for bringing the transparency

[@OliverCaldwell]

Oh, hey banana man! I see we both have great taste in peripheral KZbin channels.

[@voltaseeno]

and they still haven't made a roccat kone pure ultra light wireless

[@kesamek8537]

Who even needs a keyboard to be wireless (except for people with legit medical limitations).

[@sdudigumi]

Can you even call modern keyboards without Rapid trigger and other Wooting features gaming keyboards anymore? Theyre just glorified workspace keyboards with RGB, that companies then aggressively brand by calling it 'gaming keyboard' to trick consumers. Not a wooting fan btw, waiting for a competitor release

[@setone28ua]

Not really, because office keyboards use cheap schematics and controllers, there are limit on simultaneously pressed keys, often it's horrible, like 4 keys.

[@Crusader1929]

A few days ago Razer made a Keyboard with 0.1 actuation and rapid trigger. SteelSeries Apex pro line also has rapid trigger now

[@sdudigumi]

@@Crusader1929 whats the razer keyboard?

[@Crusader1929]

@@sdudigumi i think Huntsman v3

[@yanni-duff]

why arent you a wooting fan if I may ask?

[@middle_pickup]

I would say that Roccat fell off, but the fact is that they got left behind. Over the last several years gaming peripherals have improved a lot, but Roccat never did.

[@fwabble]

This

[@muzy8768]

actually the roccat kone pro is not bad for a light weight mouse. The keyboards are aweful tho.

[@axelhopfinger533]

Roccat has always been style over substance. Even their premium products have reliability and longevity problems.

[@sternwayprovider]

I had the bigger version of this keyboard (an older version) and its even more terrible, some keys that were used often just stopped working and also do the keycaps just deterioate after some time

[@yes-69]

me too

[@a6m41]

I tried this keyboard since I love lower profile keyboards, and the switches felt so terrible like I dont even know how to explain how bad it felt

[@sk8ervader]

Texarre the budget king

[@odgamerout6698]

Love your videos

[@ZHIGZAGON-]

I have a Burt Air Pro Mice and i would like to know if this keyboard is can be connected as 2 devices with only 1 dongle like razer or corsair does?

[@joja2174]

for a stock keyboard my k617 sounded better

[@Xerpocalypse_]

I really, really dislike this style of keycap *especially* on keyboards that are not specifically low-profile. Even moreso when the keyboard has absolutely zero bezel, making it immediately obvious how thin and un-proportional they are aesthetically. It's amazing how little companies focus on the typing experience for this price, I guess they'd rather focus on marketing wank.

[@muzy8768]

I just want low latency and good quality.

[@OGSuperDirty]

Hi, this is your friendly local Roccat rep. You will no longer receive samples from us.

[@twsarahh]

The DrunkDear keyboards might be good to check out in the future as a competitor to Wooting

[@Youtubey-mula]

could u use a redragon keyboard?

[@waterboxer]

The humour is great :D

[@mt.sefuri3909]

Finally Saul Goodman

[@aadi2134]

wait you still got your STRAP-ON 😐😐

[@dj_dojo]

what happened to gaming keyboard in the last couple years? All the shown keyboards except for the wooting maybe, look like they have some very fragile keys consisting of some sort of flat piece of plastic sitting on a piston sort of mechanism. No leading on the movement no nothing. And why are they all so tiny? My roccat aimo i had for more than 5 years now started making some funny noises on some of the overused keys. And when looking at the options i have with the current generation of keyboards, which cost around 150-200 dollars, have the wierdest most fragile looking key mechanics and the aesthetics of a old school microsoft or cherry keyboard... I think funny sounding keys are alright after all.

[@yhiz4757]

Ask Roccat to make a kpu wireless 😭

[@GUkraine]

150g, battery drains overnight, still using their titan opticals, more rgb added, $180 USD. eNjOY!

[@yhiz4757]

@@GUkraine True. An actual kpu wireless for below £100 is the only thing I think that will save roccat right now, they are a lost cause lmao

[@joshuasingh6822]

Review the darmoshark Ms3 pls

OH MY GOD WAIT REVIEW THE ROCCAT MOUSES PLEASE I REMEMBER THEM LOOKING LIKE THE MOST RIDICULOUS GAMING MOUSE I HAD EVER SEEN WHEN I WAS LIKE 14

thank god i didn't, actually wanted but it was out of stock so i got the g915 tkl instead, thank god

I think it’s not that bad except for the key caps but tbf, I got that keyboard for 50€ 😂
