Unboxing an Epomaker x Feker Alice 60 wooden keyboard!

[@Veezyjung]

LGR: *heavy breathing*

[@LGR]

😏

[@besserschreiben9481]

LOL - I understand at first glance how the three pieces shall be arranged, and I was deeply relieved at that moment you finally found the solution.

[@YerdaZabam]

your camera appears to be a bit drunk

[@shadowmanwkp]

Nah, that's just manual focus.

[@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904]

I bass boost my audio and your voice carries bass so well, it literally sounds like a fantasy villian unboxing a keyboard

[@YuryKhristich]

So, you have the nice option to fire up your keyboard in the fireplace. And to listen the clicking of the lovely hotswap switches in the amber of subdued flame.

[@NatalieT505]

Resisting uncivilized urges, I refuse to lumber the comments with an awful wood joke. 12:42 That sound really does have a pleasant timbre. Very interesting board for the new year !. Thanks for the unboxing Thomas :-)

[@YuryKhristich]

Is the video a bit unfocused of it's just me after the New Year? 🎉

[@Budder99]

I was thinking it looks a little soft

[@PonderLust]

now we need a stone keyboard, a Flintstones keyboard

[@MeriaDuck]

Concrete might be doable 🤔

[@ozonev]

Yes, concrete, please

[@Shivartin]

I have seen a marble keyboard case before.

[@酗]

excited for you to swear at ortho boards. as a diehard ortho user it's always fun to see people's reaction to my blank slabs of keys before I pull out the blue alps chicony for them to use. my 6 (row) x 9 (columns) x 2 (halves) BFO-9000 is my favorite, I like ortho and split but being stuck with 5x12 or smaller for my giant 6 foot desk sucked, routed a nice wooden case for it recently.

[@AquaPeet]

Happy New Year Thomas!! :D

[@tompramanaaccount8892]

that switch/caps puller is so satisfying to use, you pulled a switch then press the eject button like a pen to release the switch.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I really like Alice keyboards. It took a bit to get used to it, but once I did going back to a normal layout just doesn't feel right anymore. And I typed on those for over 20 years.

[@karellen00]

I'm curious to know if it behaves as 3 separate keyboards, as it will be a mess. I already know that on windows with a separate numpad you can't use alt codes (like as an example you type alt + 0216 to write a Ø symbol). Not being able to make upper case letters using the shift on the other half would be even more annoying!

[@bewilderbeestie]

I would _love_ to have a set of wooden keycaps... but I have yet to find anyone making them (affordably) in ISO. Apparently the L-shaped enter key is just too hard!

[@fernandochu8987]

I recommend one of the thumb 'spacebars' to be reprogrammed to 'shift'. This has helped me a lot instead of using the pinkies.

[@cutcorners6005]

Feker went from making $20 mech boards to this.

[@AquaPeet]

A FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR keyboard, holy thockamoly!!

[@kenshinjenna]

Your camera seemed out of focus the whole time and yourr inability to notice the orientation of the 3 pieces had me questioning how many takes you had for the intro before the one we finally saw, but I love the all wood vibe and I wish you a happy new year!

[@svenge_]

I've got a Feker Alice 98 that I really enjoy and a few boards built with old Feker Holy Panda clones. I like the brand despite the unfortunate name.

[@sarreqteryx]

“look at this feker!“

[@ciaduck]

I'm also in the 30% "right hand B" population. Most ergo layouts drive me crazy. Alice is nice, because it includes a "B" on both sides.

[@BeansEnjoyer911]

Saw the thumbnail, had to click.. Never would have thought of something like this haha. Great videos!

[@impointr]

The fact this costs $549 and has a fixed layout is wild to me.

[@Budder99]

Happy new year! What a wierd and interesting one

[@babybloc]

That’s ergonomic because it’s good for your eyes 😍 All the ergo users yelling at themselves out here for you to turn it around 💀 It will be fun to see you do a string of these I do think it’s worth noting that use of boards with specific actuation pressure makes boards with special switches ergonomic too Just with different needs than folks who want weird hand or wrist positions So we’re glad you’ve been a supporter all long

[@caliburn77]

That keyboard is brilliant for a left-handed gamer. :P Just move the left part to the right when you want to game, and hardly any rebinding needs to be done.

[@mithikx]

Oh hey Thomas filling in for Clint (LGR) this week, sweet! That board needs to be in someone's oddly wood grained filled setup with awful 70's - 80's furniture.

[@mesamesamesa1277]

Mr Chyro, did you drink a lot more before recording this video? hahah loved the goofiness of it. Hope you had a nice Christmas 🎉

[@Chyrosran22]

Haha not at all, in fact I can handle my drink very well. I'm just kinda goofy in general xD .

[@PlantainSupernova]

Put some box navies or clickiez in this bad boy. Wood love to hear those. I frequently go back to the typing demo on the apls orange custom Mac keeb you had made, amazing sound.

[@Chyrosran22]

That.... Is an interesting idea 8) .

[@osirisgolad]

Bij de distilleerderij, Tobermory, spreken ze het uit als "le-chig"; maar daar zijn de meningen over verdeeld in Schotland en zelfs al binnen de perken van het eiland Mull. Goeie keus van whisky in ieder geval!

[@justmedrinkingwater1455]

Hope they release those keycaps separately.

[@RockulaRandy]

I really want this one!

[@nsn333]

if u press the number keys on this video it sounds like a synth

[@pantonin]

Love your reviews, but man… that clock is LOUD.

[@anonanon5146]

did u came on it already?

[@davidl6041]

Put the num pad on the left so there mouse is closer to your right hand , it should have two B keys

[@jy-yr4hh]

Would love to see a split alice layout with split backspace and split shift, maybe one day,,,

[@LegoTux]

Does it weigh the same as a duck?

[@BlissBee]

Btw i wanna let you know i now own a very cheap Chinese mech keyboard like you recommended but cheap Chinese keyboards now can come with hall effect switches (The one i got was 50 dollars with shipping the ace60pro) But some are even cheaper still Just letting you know next time you tell someone to get a cheap Chinese keyboard for their first mech let em know that hall effect is also the best way to go because its no longer unreasonable to get one cheap

[@lucidmoses]

I'm defiantly not as much of a sound guy as you are but even I think that one sound pretty good.

[@Kvantum]

If this were $599 for an Alice 75 I'd probably buy one. Need my F-row.

[@marcthorner8338]

HNY Thomas!!!

[@Chyrosran22]

HNY mate! :D

[@zumazmusic]

What? No wood jokes?! 😂

[@pessie83]

At first glance it looks like a 3-piece UHK (Ultra Hacking Keyboard). But if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

[@nuclearmistake666]

I hate Ortho, but I love my alice

[@DavidWonn]

4:38 Best part

[@DavidWonn]

9:11 Or maybe this is

[@jaubuchon28]

You know whats funny, having seen his face and now his headless body, the man looks exactly as I somehow expected, aside from the fact that i epxected him to be blond, no idea why

[@AquaPeet]

What! The dongle isn't made out of wood?!?!

[@tomd.2982]

camera out of focus 😍

[@gothicchocobo]

I thought at the start that you'd decided to stop muting the audio when you take a drink, but unfortunatly not. ;(

[@tyraelhermosa]

Haha man how much did you drink before filming this?

[@toorandomenvi]

There is no god damn reason for a modern keyboard to be missing a super / windows key, since there is so many functions using that button

[@Laundry_Hamper]

Ah yes, _YUIOPQ_

[@dmitrynikolaev5743]

This is not a ergonomic keyboard, even if it labeled that way.

[@getalper]

It's time we have a keyboard made out of taxidermy.

[@alexandermirdzveli3200]

Utter schītte. Can't wait to see the review video, though.

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

Haha gross

[@Metalwrath2]

Alice keyboards are ugly and will be ugly forever.

[@WebeloZappBrannigan]

0:25 It's luh-CHaig. If you like the Ledaig, then I'd also recommend the following- *Caol Ila 12* - Wait for a price in the low to mid £40's (as it was a few years ago). It's a fine whisky but you can get better ones for the price they're asking these days. I also have to knock a few points off as it's not an "integrity bottling"... it's under 46%, it has been chill filtered, and it contains E150 Caramel colouring. For the price they're asking now, I just don't think adulterating the whisky with E150 is acceptable. On a similar note, the *Highland Park 12* is also decent for a price of under £35. It is chill filtered and only 40% ABV but it does not contain E150. The following whiskies are integrity bottling though. *Compass Box Big Peat* - Mid £30's is a good price. It's 46%, non-chill filtered, and it has no E numbers but it is a blend. Which there's nothing wrong with but some people are single malt only snobs. It's worthing looking out for the Christmas Editions too. They are pricer but they're cask strength. *Compass Box Peat Monster* - Copy and paste the above description but change the price range to the mid £40's, and nix the bit about the Christmas Edition. *Bruichladdich Port Charlotte* - Mid to high £40's, to very low £50's is a decent price. I'd also recommend Bruichladdich's "The Classic Laddie" as it's a decent whisky, albeit an unpeated one.

[@Chyrosran22]

I've had most of them before, Caol Ila three or so bottles by now. I'm especially partial to Ardbeg and Lagavulin, myself :D . Not cheap though, unfortunately xD .

[@WebeloZappBrannigan]

@Chyrosran22 I remember back when Lagavulin 16 was occasionally available in Waitrose for £42. Now a decent price on the 16 is as rare as rocking horse shit. But the silver lining is that there are so many interesting, well priced whiskies out there to try. Laphroaig would be my first choice over Ardbeg or Lagavulin though... If I **had** to choose a Islay distillery. They're like farm animals to me though. They're all equal in my affections... It's just that some are more equal than others. Especially when it comes to the Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Have you tried any Indian whiskies? Amrut offer some really nice, reasonably priced, peated whiskies, if you ever fancy venturing further afield. They are a bit more fruity / sherried than the other whiskies i mention though but thanks to the tropical climate, they taste older than they are. With Indian whiskies, I'd advise giving Paul John a miss though. I've had three of their releases so far, and all three were overpriced disappointments. On the subject of all things peated and delicious. If you ever have a chance to buy some bottles of beer from Brouwerif De Molen... you really should. They make some really, seriously great beers but their peated, and smoked beers are nectar.

[@Chyrosran22]

@@WebeloZappBrannigan Yeah, I've tried a few Molen beers. I think I even had one during an unboxing at some point ^^ . They're easy to get here as Belgium are so close by. Not had any Indian whiskies! I'll keep my eye open for some, though to be honest I don't drink huge volumes, I get super bloated from it, unfortunately. Laphroaig is also very nice, I have almost all Islays on my shelf here tbh ^^ .
