Unlocking the Secrets of BOYI 66Pro Magnetic Switch

[@ripppghost]

Thank you for the review! I just have a question, for the RGB options in the software, can you actually setup two different colors for the effects? For example, in the breathing effect, there's an option that says top color and another for bottom color, so,can you set up pink for top and teal for bottom?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

I don't think so

[@eatingoranges-jr1ny]

Hey I was deciding between the Boyi 66 pro and the Gamakay tk75 HE. Which is better in your opinion?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

HE is more advanced if you need hall effect, otherwise both great keyboards

[@eatingoranges-jr1ny]

@@getsmarthomeoffice thank you

[@calebs2crazy]

Both are HE I thought?

[@Kouga-l1q]

get this one, the software isn't the same chinese stuff over and over again and the tk75 he quality-wise is not good

[@Mehj_]

How does the speed of the keyboard compare to other HE keyboards such as Drunkdeer? By speed I mean the time between when you press a button and the action happens on screen.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

I don’t have such equipment or knowledge how to test it, also it’s depends on you PC, Monitor, etc. from casual gaming point of view no big difference.

[@Mehj_]

@@getsmarthomeoffice what I’m worried about is that I saw some other budget rapid trigger keyboards being tested and being 3 times slower than others like drunkdeer and wooting but other keyboards at similar price point preform just as well.

[@MAmgoJumce]

@@Mehj_ you need to have that fkin robotic arm to press the key as well as a camera that can record it at 1000 fps. Lol. That's what I know. Some of em perform pretty similar like only ms difference. The only slowest one is reddragon k617

[@sol_stice0]

@@Mehj_i read an amazon review which said the average speed of the wooting was 17ms, the drunkdeer 20 something ms, and this keyboard 19ms

[@SpecialSpedSiege-u8f]

How do I get the software? When I go to the website there is no direct thing for the 66 pro?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Sometimes it's one driver for many keyboards

[@gaeldriptoohard8668]

Can you make a video or tell me how to use the keyboard macro I can't seem to know how it works

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

you need to use a software that is going with keyboard

[@aadihsoy]

looks exactly like latenpow looting 68 keyboard. same software, switch, configuration etc

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Ctr-C, Ctr-V :)

[@calebs2crazy]

How do you use delete key on this? Need ctrl alt dlt

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

I think you need to use a second layer with key modifier

[@calebs2crazy]

@@getsmarthomeoffice so just like mapping a second function to one of the keys?

Redragon and BOYI are really making certain other wired only Magnetic Switch keyboards look "very funny" right now 😂, with one going up to $205 (for just white keycaps). Especially some with non adjustable feet. Everyone's been trying to get on this new generic Logitech Pro X 60 hate train recently, and I've always felt that I didn't see a single iota of sincerity with it. All I see is a keyboard with tri-connectivity and a high quality keyboard carry case at a very expected price delta. Keyboard case, say $30 to $35, lets use $30 which already takes us to $150, tri-connectivity (Bt, 2.4 & wired), usually another $20 - $30 option depending on the brand, which takes us to $120 - $130. High quality shinethrough keycaps, optical switches, an aluminium top plate, adjustable feet, and internal sound dampening materials for that? Yeah, sounds just about right for many most wired only branded keyboards. All that fake fabricated rage on an absolute non-issue for views whilst about 95% of them don't bother covering this fast-growing very affordable magnetic-switch keyboard space, is just too funny...Most that manage, only do so in tiktok format aka shorts. Which leaves just a certain few to properly cover the keyboards in that space. Just my 2 cents anyways. Great video as always.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

hey bro, thanks for the comment! if you will check date of release of my video related to Logi you will see that it's before all other "big boys" start their reviews ;) I was personally really shocked when open the box, I purchase it by myself from Amazon with hope of some new super-duper tech from such cool brand and got simple keyboard. Obviously it's nothing wrong with that keyboard, it's just 1-2 years late for presenting such thing if you are a Logitech :)

@@getsmarthomeoffice yours was okay, actually. The recent ones by the so called"big boys", certainly are the one that just rub me in all the very wrong ways 😂. The part about the tech, I definitely do understand. But the space is what it is. Even the magnetic switches we love have been in mass produced consumer keyboards since 2019. We all watched the Steelseries videos from Computex back then, and the biggest improvement in 5 yrs has been the hot-swapping that lekker switches introduced 2 yrs later in 2021 after Gateron's clause with Steelseries expired, which allowed them modify the original omnipoint switches they made for Steelseries into what Wooting wanted, which in all reality are still effectively non hot-swappable due to the hall effect design, but would help in cases of damage. And then in what felt like 2 yrs after that, we got good replicas in the mass market. The tech itself has essentially been the same since 2019 outside features that can be enabled via software tuning, like rappid trigger and mapping of multiple inputs to 2 or more actuation points on a single switch. Outside regular mechanical switches, the market is in a bit of a plateau I guess. We've only seen Paratech provide pressure sensitive keycaps on Lenovo Legion laptops recently, so I wouldn't be surprised of we saw the return of Flaretech & "Aimpad" style switches like we had in the Wooting 1 & MK850 from Cooler Master. I feel those are still very much practical. The next step is figuring out how to combine the positives of both switches, I guess...will be quiet pricey tho 😅 I'm a recent sub and have actually been enjoying what I've seen on here to say the least....not something I can say about the others. Both you and "DBOKEY" I find, have a very appealing format and cover a very good wide range of keyboards.

@@Awaks wow, it is a lot of information for me, I'm pretty young in this area, so thank you for this!
