*Price correction:* The number #2 keyboard in the video is actually $39 ($29 on sale) rather than $54. *Edit:* Totally ignore the obvious typo at the beginning of the video

[@tierdev4367]

ScatterVolt can you do a review on the cougar mx330 case its 25 dollars on Superbizz I haven't bought yet but I wanna know if it's a good super budget case thanks love the vids💛

[@ScatterVolt]

I've actually got one sitting in my apartment

[@austin3967]

lmao i bought an overpriced keyboard K70 MK.2 Rapidfire. Amazing quality but so many cheaper options 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@financialcrisis3538]

ScatterVolt i would love to see that too iam building a pc and looking for a cheap case

[@kevindaman1565]

Can you try the DREVO Tyrfing V2 i wanna know what you think of it.

[@realasianbuoy]

Hi guys this is Austin vs Hi guys welcome to the ScatterVolt channel

[@rileypeterson1796]

Thank you man, I have a really bad like $5 keyboard and have been looking a long time for a good keyboard, I think I am going for the #2 keyboard, thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

[@ScatterVolt]

Thanks!!

[@teepakorntosak7770]

Keybaoards? 0:05

[@xephrxie7862]

Lol

[@sean_delay]

Yikes

[@LolLol-zv8po]

Yup..

[@denzel999]

Haha didn't even notice that

[@Nick-bw4mc]

Lol

[@angelo7202]

I don’t even know why I’m looking at this keyboard video I don’t even have a pc but this channel is AMAZING

[@bowlofsoop7823]

I think you should have included the 1stplayer Firerose km3 RGB

[@hotmandead1]

I wasn't expecting a bloody product review here, Great video

[@hotmandead1]

​@SenpaiMiyu oh yes

[@gabedresen592]

You da man scattervolt

[@ScatterVolt]

Thanks Gabe!

[@SOOH27]

the fact that you had a bloody keyboard on here makes me convinced that this was a legit gaming keyboard video. i have the razer huntsman, which has the same type of switch, and it is the best keyboard i have ever used.

[@a.f9173]

Actually those "opto-mechanical" switches on that bloody keyboard were introduced by razer Edit: My bad they were not actually. But razer has huntsman elite which has that

[@loek5886]

That number 2 keybaoard is amazing!

[@spaceecks1793]

What do you do with the keyboards after you are finished with them? Do you have a collection, or do you just stuff them away in a storage room or something?

[@jackmundle6418]

I’m switching from PS4 to pc and I’m thinking about getting the #1 keyboard is this a good idea? And any suggestions?

[@nviggashow9168]

HyperX Alloy FPS Pro or RGB ?

[@cheesesteak5689]

I was looking for a budget mechanical keyboard glad youtube requested something I wanted for once

[@ScatterVolt]

Yes! Glad this video could help!

[@CreamedCurry]

I’d highly recommend the red dragon rgb keyboard. It’s cheap and I’ve had a fantastic experience with it.

[@ThrustfulMite]

Should I get the number 2 keyboard? Or is it worth it to spend a little extra to get the number one keyboard?

[@jordanlego]

I agree with what you said about those optical switches. I’ve noticed the exact thing you talk about. Getting those abilities off when your old keyboard would have slugged behind.

[@merlin7048]

Idk if u still read this comment since the video is 2 weeks old but what do you think about the steelseries apex m750? Do you think its worth its price or are there better for that pricecategorys

[@NazarAdam]

Underrated channel.

[@m00tmike]

Nice vid man

[@ElvisCFWang]

Got myself a Hermes m3 low profile rgb mechanical gaming kb. Compared it with my old Razer black widow, and Gamdias legit got some pretty lit stuff with a lower price and a solid built product. *STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT!* Nice video, please keep them coming!

[@anwarqarout2327]

Hi guys, which laptop would you recommend for me for 2000$ (add or take a few)? All I'm looking for is a smooth gaming performance indoors. Size, weight, design etc doesn't matter. I was looking at the ASUS ROG strix gl702vb with the gtx 1080, seems great but I didn't find many reviews on it, and a gtx 1080 laptop for 1700$ seems a little suspicious to me. thanks!

[@echogaming5201]

I have a question, do I go “red linear, brown tactile, or blue clicky”

[@wickman1235]

Great video! Can you do a review on the DREVO Tyrfing 87 Key V2 keyboard?

[@johnporter463]

Loved the vid Keep up the great work! Can you make a video about the top 5 gaming mouse?

[@ScatterVolt]

It could happen :)

[@stevenkbr4002]

I’m actually going to buy the nr.5! Thanks! And from the setup video, the headset when i got more money! Thanks for all this!

[@ScatterVolt]

Np Steven!

[@stevenkbr4002]

ScatterVolt i bought it! It deliveres tomorrow! Thanks for the help for searching!

[@vanisshen4467]

I like my BlackWidow Ultimate, great basic layout without all the extras I don't ever use. Plus I've been using it for years and it still looks and feels brand new, I'm satisfied.

[@noahwright441]

Nice video. All these are good, what keyboard do you use? I use a Razer Blackwidow

[@ScatterVolt]

After making this video I've reverted back to my trusty K70 MK.2

[@M4TTYN]

my man back at it again! deff will cop one of these KB's soon i got a Velocifire off amazon 68 key mech upgrade from K55 from Corsair and I HAVE A S C E N D E D!!! well adjusted so far *i see that clean wallpaper engine skyrim BG going on there* nice love ya scattervolt toss him a sub if you're new and other links in the box down low y'all love to not see or look at!

[@ScatterVolt]

Haha, I love wallpaper engine it's awesome.

[@s1ckCowboy]

M4TT EXE i have a k55 rn but i have i just got gtx 1070 and i5 8400 premade build for 1000$ is that a good deal?

[@SimpleChigga]

Yo should I buy the $40 one or save up more to buy the cougar?

[@Klaark]

What should i buy, a tkl keyboard or a mouse pad?

[@stanleyzhou6789]

I am looking to buy the Cougar... lol but seriously does it come with a complete metal set or only wasd keys and arrow keys need help couldn’t find answers

[@thedragonboy6578]

#DiscordSquad what Tkl keyboard would you recommend for between £80 and £110. I was thinking maybe a masterkeys pro s or a corsair k63 wireless as my setup theme is black and blue

[@Zenith1991]

*Do a another Top 5 Gaming Keyboards for 2019 😃*

[@nickh0mie343]

Shut up boomer

[@clorox9731]

If u have the money get enthusiasts keyboards like vamillo, ducky, filco and more.

[@SwaggyCheeseDog]

I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard and I want the feel but I don't want a lot of noise. I think its the Cherry Brown switch or equivalent switch that I want. I also want the keyboard to have a few dedicated macro keys. I don't care if it has RGB. My top price to pay is about $120. Any suggestions. Im currently using a steel series keyboard with like 22 macro keys but sadly the keyboard is a membrane switch. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

[@pelk9266]

hey scatter, what size are your monitors (inch) ? if you have the time to respond to that I also wouldn’t mind to know what monitor stand you have, thanks.

[@ScatterVolt]

24 inches!

[@trophiegaming4311]

When you were buildin electrobyte... where did u get the gpu???

[@dorlu]

Thanks, might be getting the first one since I like reds

[@FelixK250]

I was about to buy a Razer Blackwidow (just standard no ultimate) for 40 dollars with Razer green switches, is it worth it?

[@agonaliu9887]

Felix Koster iif u dont get it link it to me. Its 100% worth it you can even relist it for 60

[@unicornhaxgt9553]

Great video.

[@hazlbri]

Hi, I'm just wondering about why I can't find the k-board of my dreams. The only reason I buy gamer KBs is to have backlighting, which I really need. Believe it or not, I actually type. (Likewise, I also actually make calls on my cellphone !!!) Why on Earth can't we have backlit keys AND bluetooth !?. I've noticed all 5 KBs you've reviewed (very comprehensively and professionally, I hasten to add) are wired/USB. I suppose, with both features, the battery charge would be depleted relatively quickly, although an electric car these days has a very good range. I'd also like the option of not having a number pad, as I've never used one.

[@Opentheass]

In my search of the perfect keyboard I ended up here and I decided for option #2, and after several weeks of using (using as a developer, not for gaming) I have to say that it was a great choice. I think that is a great choice for a lower price. So for that, thanks! And great video. +1

[@titruthergirlmichigan4412]

I really want a chroma mech keyboard with the blue switches but on a budget, what would you recommend. I would have went with number 1 but just white lights isn’t my thing

[@ScatterVolt]

There is an RGB version of that keyboard I believe for $10-$20 more. I forgot what it was called, checkout Cougar's site for that.

[@yofuryxexpo]

You should see if you can get your hands on the IKBC MF108... 5 and a half pounds of aluminum, RGB lighting, Doubleshot PBT caps, and Cherry MX switches for about the same price as a K70 mk 2.

[@ScatterVolt]

Why have I not heard of this keyboard before!

[@yofuryxexpo]

ScatterVolt They are more of an enthusiast brand. Damn good quality though :P

[@DominatorRGX]

i have ttesport poseidon z rgb brown switch, after 6 month double taping most of keys, after i receive replacement blue switch, after 9 month, one of buttons start to rip or double tapping, now i think may be to buy some other, but i want stable work minimum 3 years =( of normal use .

[@Michael-pg7rv]

Yea i have tested the puri by cougar. That thing is solid.

[@mycookingiswet127]

Should I buy the razer huntsman or bloody

[@wtfjayden6180]

Did the razer Hunter come out after this video?

[@jgills]

"Hello and welcome to the Scavolt Channel" is what it sounds like he's saying at the beginning

[@betacr1t1kal45]

ayo, almost at 200k. Congrats!!!

[@ScatterVolt]

Yes almost there!

[@JayzBeerz]

Thank you bro I bought the Cougar.

[@samueldiaz5964]

Should I get the cougar? Price is down to $40

[@edvardssnepsts1385]

hey man i have one shopping cart with details for pc build could i somehow send you them and you could say what should i change or tell everybody some mistakes wich shouldnt be on the my cart base

[@keshavnathoo1218]

[@GlyNkaa]

Guys, logitech g213 prodigy vs the aorus k7, what should i get ! Ty

[@rebelgamer1861]

Yep great vids man.

[@ScatterVolt]

Thanks!

[@shadbud9198]

What do you think about the steel series apex m500 keyboard?

[@ZachsTechTurf]

#DiscordSquad checking in.

[@paulk1289]

Zach's Tech Turf WHAT AM I SIPPIN ON

[@goppo6753]

I know this is a while ago but I'm convinced to get the 70 dollar keyboard at the #1 spot but my only problem is it doesn't come with a wrist rest. If there is one that would fit it and actually be able to connect to it that would be great.

[@honjanginamo]

And its read as mark 2 lol, love ur vids #discorsquad

[@notriot7096]

I wanted to build a pc and i'm thinking if this is a good one- AMD - Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor MSI B350 PC MATE AM4 ATX Motherboard Thermaltake PS-SPR-0500NHSAWA-1 SMART RGB 500W 80 PLUS Power Supply Crucial CT8G4DFS824A 8GB (1x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz Memory Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Corsair - Carbide SPEC-04 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case is it good?

[@gavinazurin7637]

Ya but wheres ur gpu

[@quickflik3980]

Hello everyone i am making my first game setup i need a mouse keyboard and mousepad and a monitor under (€375) any good sets tips PLS?

[@-edvis_lt3971]

Hey if it’s possible please do pc build for fps games and then complete gameing setup for 1500 would help me a lot thanks for ur time.

[@RealShareef]

The Gigabyte Force GK-Force K83 is a $40 keyboard with Cherry MX switches. That's the cheapest I've seen Cherry MX Switches go for, and I love my K83 with red switches. The Anne Pro is another keyboard with CRAZY good value, with great RGB, Gateron mech switches, a small form factor, Bluetooth, PBT keycaps, and more. The Drevo Tyrfing V2 is a keyboard I haven't used but it also seems like a greay value, with good RGB and metal construction.

[@ScatterVolt]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I too found that crazy $40 gigabyte motherboard with Cherry MX switches.

[@launchpadmcquack98]

SCA-TER-VOLT "welcome to the skdvol youtube channel" lmao

[@walterptasinski2616]

What about the Granvela Mechanical Eagle z-88? Can you please check this keyboard out?

[@levi_the_great_one1348]

Can you do a top 5 mouse video please? I’m trying to find a good mouse.

[@stfdcrst]

Alright, so I was asking about a good mechanical keyboard on my Instagram and one of my followers showed me the DREVO Tyrfing V2 87Key mechanical gaming keyboard. This thing has amazing value for the price and you should definitely check it out if you plan on making another video like this in the future

[@neilpatil6318]

Scattervolt you should do a review on the Razer huntsman elite

[@puchangnie4616]

good video, I just don't know which best, my Eyooso 8100 not bad

[@jeremyinglis6148]

Im going for number 2

[@nikthequick9688]

I think you forgot a great value keyboard by Gigabyte, the Force K83. Its 40 dollars by a big name company, and sure you don't have any lighting effects but it comes with real Cherry MX Red or Blue switches. That is crazy cheap for the the quality you get. I wish they had it in MX Brown because I would like a second keyboard for typing and work since the tactile would definitely help with some typos but other than that the keyboard is great. I mean you can buy this and do custom keycaps if you wanted to add some flare to it.

[@ScatterVolt]

I believe I have seen that keyboard before. It looks plain but does offer Cherry MX switches.

[@matejsimala5272]

hey guys, what is your opinion about ms sniper pro?

[@gdmaksy4991]

I would buy the N1 only if it came with MX Blues :/

[@toniopurp]

GD Maksy mx kinda overrated tbh. I prefer outemu blues bc they last longer

[@Cheesenuts09]

Sorry I’m late, the Cougar Puri TKL3 is a cherry mx blue keyboard, the one reviewed is the TKL2 with cherry mx reds

[@idklike3210]

PetesCake no they are not, but I’ll give you that cherry mx is still a great choice and at that point it’s all about preference.

[@jaredkinsey1569]

Great Video #discordSquad

[@verisym]

What's the second song in the background?

[@ye6523]

Also experienced when double tap my W in zed but sadly it doesn't register

[@jimbobsherwood1797]

Razer did implement the optical switches in the Huntsman and Huntsman Elite

[@CosmoProductions666]

Really like the look of the Cougar one, but I would rather have a number-pad and sacrifice portability. For the last 10 years I've been using some beige 90s membrane keyboard, and have never found one I like more, but unfortunately I snapped it last week (totally my fault). I've always thought I'd eventually go for a Razor keyboard as I love my Razor mouse, but after looking at a number of reviews they are not being recommended as much as I thought. I just want something good quality with real chunky keys tbh, the gaming ones I have looked at in the store have kinda small keys

[@GuTsMattt]

I’m getting the Corsair K65 LUX RGB I’ve read some good things about it :)

[@boenike]

What should i buy? Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2017 (Razer Green)- 100€, or HyperX Alloy FPS Pro (MX Blue)-80€?

[@ScatterVolt]

HyperX

[@boenike]

ScatterVolt thanks

[@mindestly4160]

I bought the Corsair mk.2 it’s good

[@Stylish433]

What is the name of your case?

[@dieterdevlieger6355]

What rank are you on cs:go?

[@adam632]

im using an Apex 100, its rlly good!

[@thatrandomguy2723]

Hey, absolutely love your content! You inspired me to get into PC gaming and building. I am following the new Tron build and have already purchased the gpu! Keep up the great work man. Appreciate you.

[@ScatterVolt]

I'm glad I could help you!

[@manuelmedels2624]

What about the Eagle tec kg 010 rgb keyboard, its amazing.

[@nickshotwell8055]

can you do top 5 or top 10 back to school book bags/ultra books for college

[@ethanhobbs1856]

How did you get that Skyrim background?

[@alexisrivera200xable]

I'd like to see a video like this one but comparing the various budget headsets from Windows Mixed Reality (They have support for Steam VR these days making it a slightly more economic way to get full VR experience) I'm using one from Acer and so far its pretty good with excellent tracking and decent motion controls (Under $250 USD). Also while the requirements for running VR on your PC are kinda steep, some cards that are not listed as VR ready actually do a surprisingly good job with some minor graphics concessions in order to keep performance up. I think that is worth exploring for budget gaming builds. (Example: I am using an AMD R9 380x and its has worked perfectly for playing Elite: Dangerous, The Lab and more.)

[@ScatterVolt]

Hmm, is Windows Mixed Reality it's own program that works with VR? What exactly is it?

[@AliMYBPlayz]

well the Razer Huntsman and Huntsman Elite just came out so i find it ironic you mentioned razer will come out with one

[@thatguygaming5472]

I felt attacked at the end 😂 good video I might get #1

[@memesarelovememesarelife774]

You can get the k95 mx brown for only $149 on amazon.

[@AndrewHodel56]

I'm in the market for a new keyboard since I only have a membrane one. I was thinking about the Razer blackwidow chroma v2 tournament edition or the Razer huntsmen. My original choice was going to be the Corsair k65 rapidfire with cherry mx speed switches, but then when I saw the Razer huntsmen and Razer's yellow switches I didn't know if i should get the razer one or the Corsair one since I already have a razer mouse and headset. I thought it would make sense to get the razer keyboard, but I don't want to look like a Razer scum. I have Razer headphones because they were on sale for a good price and I have a Razer mouse because I am a lefty gamer and Razer makes some of the best ambidextrous mice. If I got the Razer keyboard it would be way easier for me to control all my peripherals with one software but people always bash on Razer and talk about how trash it is so someone lmk what I should do.

[@krazyheavenlygaming]

hope i can enjoy the number #2 keyboard since just ordered it.

[@ScatterVolt]

It's pretty flippin' spectacular. When I first got it I was shocked it was a $29 keyboard.

[@foxbit8982]

I like the Gamdias Hermes, that's a freaking slick mechanical keyboard for $54.... and RGB of course 😂👌

[@niklasschweizer9669]

woudnt buy it. had it now for like half a year and many keys Arent responding anymore (like only after i press them three times)

[@niklasschweizer9669]

but yeah it Looks great

[@winter2990]

#discordsquad Best server I’m in

[@ImNotSureWho]

That wallpaper looks dope how did you make it move like that

[@ScatterVolt]

It's through software called wallpaper engine!

[@ImNotSureWho]

ScatterVolt thanks definitely got to check it out

[@mo7ammadgaming541]

Why Fantech keyboards aren't mentioned i mean its a very good brand and with best prices
