I've had my vortex cypher for almost a year now and have been as happy since I unboxed mine thanks to your review! Thanks for doing what you do!

[@TaeKeyboards]

Left spacebar = 3u. Right spacebar = 3.25, as the both of them equal a standard 6.25u spacebar. Thanks to Danilo for pointing out my typo!

[@quinnreynard1244]

Dear Tae - Is it possible to program the primary layer of this keyboard? I really want a backspace on the right space bar of the split-key version of this board (without having to go into layers), but all the documentation that I've seen says that doing so is impossible. Thanks in advance. I hope you have a great day.

[@himit5u]

TaeKeyboards can you change it to a normal space bar with some soldering and stuff?

[@cyrenarkade]

@@quinnreynard1244 A while ago they released a firmware update that should allow that.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Can you remap the function key?

[@PitiPablo_]

Loving the new thumbnails

[@GadgeDee]

I am binge watching your videos! Such a dope KZbinr I have discovered!! I'll have you know my last few purchases soon to be fourth are nothing but mechanical keyboards and accessories for them. 😅 Keep the amazing content coming!

[@kev_rhino]

General TaeKeyboards, you are a bold one!

[@jordanfish]

Been really enjoying this board. I recommend the un-split spacebar... Maxkey SA White on Black looks great on it.

[@prodigitz1309]

board looks so good

[@Yobleck]

random thumbs up at the end

[@iLiokardo]

Honestly, I would love to have the left ALT key a little further to the right, for games. CTRL on Caps Lock of course too.

[@ashurgeorge4604]

I'm typing this comment with the vortex race 3 with the default light grey and white keycaps. *Edit: thought you should know that I found your review very helpful when purchasing it*

[@BrentODell]

How long have you had the Race 3, and how do you like it? I'm looking for a new keyboard, and my main concern is that it's durable so I don't have to replace it any time soon.

[@ashurgeorge4604]

@@BrentODell Mine came in perfect condition, I've had it about a year now ( 1/11/2018) and it still feels and looks great. ZERO RATTLE, very sturdy, solid and hefty. It took a little while for me to get used to typing on DSA profile caps... but i'm super accustomed to it now. Only things that could improve (in my opinion) is: a normal size esc and delete key, in the case i'd ever want to swap caps. But the caps it comes with are amazing anyway, so i can't really see myself wanting to pay to swap them out any time soon. Unless vortex makes an SA profile vibe set to fit the race 3.

[@BrentODell]

Thanks for the reply, the Race 3 is definitely on my short list to replace my current keyboard.

[@EddoWagt]

@@ashurgeorge4604 Same for me, took a long time to really get used to the flat dsa profile, but now I actually really like it. If you haven't yet I recommend you to put in some foam in the keyboard, even some bubble wrap makes a huge difference. Completely gets rid of that echo-y sound making it sound a lot more full and sturdy

[@abevince]

Another great video! I saw a Ducky One 2 Skyline. Review coming?

[@TaeKeyboards]

Thanks mate :) Not at this given time, no.

[@wreckervilla]

did you make that concrete weight yourself? I've been watching a bit of DIYperks a bit, he uses it a bit for some unique projects.

would it be possible to put on your own rgb smd led's? as im thinking of getting this board with gateron silent brown as they have a transparent housings. if i can what would be a software to control them?

[@azerXP]

nice

[@fioletoviymewok9665]

Does this board support nkro or is it only 6kro? For somereason everything else (race 3, core, pok3r rgb) supports nkro and this one seems to not support it.

[@jimitav]

You typed "hello there!"! Yes, WITH an exclamation mark at the end! (just edited ;) )

[@omfgmouse]

If they added the split spacebar in order to have one extra key... why don't they also have the key between left shift and Z that is present on standard UK keyboards? I have a UK keyboard with the layout essentially set to US, but with `~ moved to that key, and the key left of 1 set to some silly symbols for chats. For programming it's a lot easier to hit key-left-of-Z than key-left-of-1.

[@kyahmewrbs00043_]

Hi! Uhmm. can you review the Glorious Modular Mechanical Keyboard? Pleassse!!

[@karminquek4684]

you typed "hello there!" hahaha

[@airbornehurdle]

It’s nice that you’re a Lisa bias, my favorite is Rose.

[@TaeKeyboards]

Haha, nah I'm with Rose as well!

[@mkesl]

What are you shooting on? The B-Roll looks really clean.

[@TaeKeyboards]

Nothing special. Just a Canon 600d with either the kit 18-55mm lens, or the Yongnuo 50mm lol

[@windy7777]

you typed : Hello there! my response : Hi! How are you?

[@shuangrongwu178]

Hi bro, I am looking for a short spacebar keyboard, like 3u etc, anywhere I can buy one?

[@egbt2147]

9:09 Hey it's Lisa from Blackpink y'all! 👀

[@TaeKeyboards]

😍

[@Chokkan]

I'd love to know what the reason for that extra bit of plastic inside the case. Seems like it adds cost, so it can't be just a design element can it. Cool to see how their keyboards get more and more programmable with each generation.

[@TaeKeyboards]

I asked and unfortunately did not get a reply haha.

[@AdowTatep]

Hello there for you too!

[@Jel0XD]

does this fit the the tada 68 cases for sale?

[@Paspa1801]

Hello there!

[@TaeKeyboards]

No one's gotten it right yet. I'm looking for the correct response! I guess you should forget about the exclamation mark, and think of space :)

[@karminquek4684]

is it "hello there1!"?

Is it possible to program the left space bar to be FN? hello thre!

[@sungadeh]

no but you can remap the pn button to left spacebar and use it just like fn button

[@dixitk13]

what would you choose between a cypher and pok3r? Just bought a pok3r 1 month ago, loving the keyboard, but still wanted to hear your thoughts on the same.

[@TaeKeyboards]

I prefer the Cypher 65% layout, but the Pok3r of course has that aluminium case which feels better. Can't compare them too closely as they're actually quite different :)

[@davi.constante]

Hello, Tae! Congratulations on all your content and job! Could you please help me to choose my first mechanical keyboard? Which 60-65% keyboard would you suggest me? (Anne Pro 2, Cypher, Pok3r, Tada68... ?) Thank you for your your help!

[@jumbba69]

End?

[@jamesricherson7233]

hello there!

man I'd love a split spacebar on my Tada68....

[@Jeff-rc1qw]

I know this video is old but could you somehow put rgb keycaps?

[@Eoin.hhh6889]

There's no RGB but you can attach any keycaps for Mx switches

[@BoBBaB0oN]

with that design and features i kinda wished it was 75-80$ instead

[@johntruongpictures]

Will this keyboard fit most 60% aluminum cases?

[@TaeKeyboards]

Nope, it is 1 column wider (65%)

[@layconick]

Is anyone happen to know if it's possible to flip Win and left Alt buttons for mac use?

[@gnclmorais]

Late to the party, but it is possible! I’ve done it myself :)

[@sweats4297]

My spacebar does not work its not wobbly it just dont work

[@abdomination]

Hmm. Honestly it seems like this board isn't worth it considering comparable alternatives. I believe it'd be totally worth it if they had dye sub caps.

[@julian23561]

Hmmm. Bananas in PJs, and a girl... Wonder what the next video will include.

[@arif0o0]

who is the girl at the end and why is she there LUL
