My Razer 75% v4 has the worst switches of all time, they double-tap often. (Editing for clarity) I bought a mouse first, it started double clicking switches, deleted a user's profile in the company we do IT for, almost had problems using it as a daily driver for that reason. Bought a keyboard just for "work" (a large purchase for me, but i need a "hardy" keyboard since typing is all i do all day) Keyboard was messing up in the same way. I was frustrated as hell. I had already contacted them about the mouse issues, i wasn't going to "buy a new mouse" while waiting for them to send me one, and i'm certainly not sending a company my mouse and money ahead of time, to be told later that "we found there was nothing wrong, thanks". I'm "pro". Officially. But the mouse? Warranty won't cover it, warranty is over. And swapping switches in the keyboard doesn’t resolve it. I think it's electrical. Best move I made was to get an 8bitdo but I'm done with Razer because SWITCHES ARE ALL THEY DO. Seriously. The rest could be done by anyone else. It's switches and RGB. And yeah. Sorry Razer, I dropped your mice when you refused to cover a product in warranty because of "what retailer it was bought from" Asus Spatha X - best mouse swap I did for my hand size And the switches are replaceable.

[@HipyoTech]

@@seanv5306 Are they really not covering the double tap? From what they told me they should send replacement switches to anyone with the issue

[@seanv5306]

@@HipyoTech no, thankfully they WOULD cover the keyboard, I just don't feel like waiting, spending the time, etc. when they refuse to cover the mouse I bought on a big box online retailer, sold and shipped by them :) I got my keyboard at a BigBox blue store. They were perfectly happy servicing that, but my mouse which has a double tapping mouse sensor, and my experience streaming and gaming at a "pro" level has left me "not interested" in dealing with them overall. Also, did you really learn from the ball bearings? Because my first thought was "just bigger bearings" and tell me you didn't think the same thing >.>

[@MonoTheSergal]

Made the mistake of buying that thing. Genuinely one of the worst keyboards I've ever used.

[@artysalt]

These metal ball bearings are conductive, which means that there's a high risk of shorting something in the keyboard when it's powered on. Even just one of these moving around on the PCB is sufficient to destroy the keyboard is you're unlucky enough. NEVER do this, because the risks are way greater than the potential gains. To realize how electrically important this is, imagine that even the glue of the tape that you'll use in a tape mod needs to be non-conductive.

[@HipyoTech]

Yep

[@wdolgae]

The first thing I thought was "they are conductive!"

[@pointeplusplus]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one panicking about this 😅

[@artysalt]

Bonus info: People who have used tapes with conductive glue for their tape "tempest" mod have even accidentally shorted their keyboard's battery and it led to a fire. This has happened even to KZbinrs, such as Switch & Click. Stay safe, people and to be extra sure, avoid the tape mod altogether if your keyboard is wireless (has a battery).

[@wdolgae]

I have never done a tape mod, but I would suggest kapton tape because it is commonly used in electronics or maybe platers tape, it leaves no residue after being removed. I'm familiar with red platers tape from Saint Gobain.

I keep saying if you want RGB shinethrough, north facing LEDs are the best.

[@user-lv6rn9cf8m]

Obviously. But no one in the mech community wants rgb shinethrough. Like that's for gamers and stuff. I want the LED to line up with the status indicator window of my keycaps as they are intended - thank you very much. Like the MX design isn't for that.

[@qq_02]

Yes and no. Normal shinethroughs, you are correct, the light will be below the letters. The front-facing "stealth" shinethrough, i.e. if the legends are on the front, not on the top, south-facing works better. So it comes down to a weird word... preface... preveren.... preference? Yes, that one.

They asked for that video, and when I told them that was a ridiculous request, one that had nothing to do with the problem at hand, they then just kept repeating the same request, and I am left with a $300 keyboard that it non-functional, though mechanically there is nothing wrong with it.

7:09 Thank God they are north facing LEDs. I freaking hate south facing LEDs. South facing LEDs have uneven lighting. You can literally see south facing LEDs by simply looking at the keyboard, and it's very distracting. They also don't light up the characters well. If you're worried about keycap interference, buy some o-rings or washers.

[@peanutbutterbean1738]

i agree, and that comes from someone who never uses rgb on their keyboards, south facing LEDs 100% have their place in boards that want nicer RGB, plus who is genuinely going to buy this keyboard and then go and try put GMK keycaps on it, pretty much noone, and if you want to use cherry profile keycaps that badly just buy a different keyboard or use long pole switches

[@yanni-duff]

There is no way you are criticizing the north facing leds in a see-through legend gamery keyboard. The average consumer does not care about super thick 120$ keycap sets from GMK and the slight interference. South facing leds make the illuminated legends look like garbage.

[@dreamEnd]

So... Azoth with Razer branding? With cheaper build quality but also more expensive? Who is this for? Azoth is already a niche board in the first place, and now they made a worse clone with higher pricetag. And if money is non issue, and you really want the top of the line gaming keyboard there's that Azoth Extreme, and plenty of HE boards if you favor performance over anything. At this point, the only reason to get this over Azoth is for people who wants uniformed, all Razer build

[@ClawsHDonYoutube]

I bought the blackwidow v4 75% first version, i had insane double click issues after 2 months of use on the most used keys like wasd for apex, qwer for league and some other random ones like esc. Kept swapping the switches with functioning ones across the keyboard and then, after all this time, last month i got Akko V3 Creamy Purple Pro. Even with minimal RGB housings, there's dim RGB, insanely good tactile feedback but lighter spring, faster travel time, INSANELY good sound on this keyboard AND no more double clicking issues. Also MANY people keep saying the razer blackwidow v4 75% kept double clicking with razer switches even after activating their warranty and getting 1 to 2 different keyboard replacements. I'm pretty sure Razer still hasn't fixed double clicking issues :/

[@speakeasy6093]

This being 300 dollar is not that special. Razer, Logitech and SteelSeries for example are all just sales brands, you only really buy anything from them when it's 50-70% off and rest of the year nobody is buying anything from them. If it's not Black Friday or Christmas sales nobody is buying anything. When this goes on sale for 150 dollar it will be seen as such a steal but it will just be at what the price should've always been.

[@alanmuniz5859]

I had the previous Razer v4 75%, and even when I changed the switches I still had the double press haha, I tried with different switches and same happened, maybe was the board itself, I used the razer switches on a custom keyboard and had no issues (just like with 2 switches, but changed them and no issues ) Go for a custom guys xd

I worked for IBM repairing Selectric typewriters in the 60's. I was trained at the IBM Selectric plant in Lexington, KY. I touch-type the fastest on a Selectric. I wish to find a computer keyboard with the key travel and resistance of a Selectric for my Mac. Does such a thing exist?

[@Avruthlelbh]

Everything else aside, I REALLY like the knob being on the side of the keyboard like that. Knobs take up wayyyy too much room under most designs for something you will maybe touch once a week if you already have volume control elsewhere. Granted, the screen kinda defeats those advantages, but if you really want a screen and a knob, this isn't a bad way to do it.

[@mattstroker3742]

Btw... I still remember how razer with its snake triangle logo was the bottom budget brand for gaming accessories at one point in time. So if that changed somewhat during all those years I think they deserve a compliment for that.

[@Ivan-jj3lh]

Bro, as a RTS game player the whole whole point of a razer keyboard like my blackwidow v4 pro is to have customizable LEDS and dedicated macros, where you can see the colors you've chosen for every key color coded by categories. THEN easily switch back to normal colored keys when you're not gaming at the push of a button! why would you choose to cover the leds! other than that nice sounding keyboard you made, but the functionality of the led keys is gone. make one where it is just as nice sounding but has lit keys then you have made a worthy improvement.

I picked up a Keychron Q60 on sale for ~€155 a couple of months ago. It's not hall-effect, but I prefer the wider variety of MX-compatible switches¹, and I really wanted a HHKB layout.

I bought the OG V4 75% for a very good price (imo) on the secondhand market, and it was in pretty good shape. After a week of using it, multiple switches starting chattering/double clicking on their own. I could fix it by pushing the switch in, blowing some compressed air from a can in there, and then actuating it a bunch. That would fix a for a bit. Found the same multiple posts online like you did that complained about that, so I was a little bit disappointed, but for the price I got it for, I wasn't complaining too much. I did end up buying some Gateron Smooties after seeing them in another video of yours though, and it was worth the upgrade. I for one like the V4 75%'s look, and I love RGB, and I still think Razer's in-game support for chroma is the best on the market. I do also love swapping boards though, so I don't use it exclusively. I also use my Logitech, Duckys, Keychron and Leopolds. Also dang, they went with PBT this time? One thing I also didn't like about the OG, is the fact that they decided to use ABS, even if they're not the worst I've seen. I've since also changed those to some PBT pudding keycaps.

[@purfecto]

the main reason i like razer v4 75 (i have the non pro) is the implementation of some - enough games with the RGB control, like explosions / cooldowns etc, which you find in all razer rgb keyboards, you dont enjoy it as much as when you first get it but i do miss it when i use any other keyboard, the v4 75 even tho a bit overpriced, still hit the mark for my "Custom like" / enthusiasts features even tho its not rly close to some good ones/ more expensive ones. the added wrist rest which i cant do without is also very good, all other custom keyboards i liked either dont include one or its not magnetic etc, which i prefer cause i move the keyboard around very much especially in fps, and the magnetic one always sticks to the keyboard when moved instead of normal ones which you have to move together and its irritating when on a fast paced game. other than that i hate the fact that alot of people had issue with the switches its very bad for a product that costs around 180-200euros, even tho i immediately changed the orange ones with cheap linears i had but hand lubed which had a major difference with both performance in fast games and sound/feel. every other company offers different sets of switches with purchase and razer stuffing those oranges in your throat where you like it or not is BS even tho i overall like the keyboard. additionaly pbt keycaps should be included instead of abs, they were good quality but regardless they already starting to be on the smooth side now and lost half of their "matte/grip" coating. if you factor everything in like buying extra switches - linears / buying PBT keycaps etc it well around 300euros which is way to much for the setup and you can get pretty much whatever other keyboard you like. the pro version is just a ripp off from other keyboards like azoth etc, but it was bound to be the next step for them. but 300e? lmao...

People use other keycaps profiles you know, not only cherry. You could try too, they sound thockier, simple as that. OEM, SA etc. and you will not have problems with north facing rgb leds :P

[@eIectronichunter]

Should i mind the sound if i'm wearing headphones?

[@gtijason7853]

Instead of metal balls have you considered trying JB Weld Epoxy steel or Steel-stik metal filled epoxy ?

[@Quaddragon]

Will you be reviewing Logitech's revisit of the G915 with the G915X?

[@Aezetyr]

Interesting thought if you wanted to do the ball-bearing experiment. Take the bearings and the kinetic sand, throw them into a bowl and mix it together like dough. Chocolate is the best ice cream flavor. Call me a basic biatch but there it is.

[@MarbsMusic]

It definitely sounds better after the mods and as the Morandi are long pole I'm assuming they took care of the interference with the Cherry profile caps as well. I think the balls would work with silicon, just not with the sand. Much like the Azoth Extreme, it's just too expensive for what you get. The Evo80 went on sale a couple of days ago for about half the price (not including shipping). It looks to be quite similar to the Neo80 but prebuilt with RGB. The Neo80 to me, with it's low front height, is one of the easiest keyboards to type on and use ever. Why would anyone spend twice as much for this when you can get a full AL build with nice switches (if you want linear), matching keycaps, a ball-latch system for modding and a case from a quite reputable company (Qwertykeys/Owl Lab/Neo)?

[@chrisbenn]

No more Razer Red silent V.2 switches?!

[@nadavshabat1823]

can u try the phantom tecware 87+ Ive been begging for months pleassssss its 55$ plsss

[@WalkMrJ]

North facing LEDs?! Why wouldn't you want them directly shining in your eyes with a south facing led?!

[@jefferyhampton7483]

I have a bridge 75 and the ribbon cable is not working, what size or can you please send me a link to where I can purchase a replacement.

[@Lucritius]

If you are actually into keyboards, you should already know that you shouldn’t even be considering brands such as razer, corsair, asus, or any of the other gaming brands

[@amunderdog]

Why is so hard to locate, cherry profile shine thru key caps for a 75% layout?

[@justin6581]

Don’t worry, in a year, this will cost $100 in the used market like the previous model

[@eric131313]

After seeing azoth u simply can't see unsee it

[@mr.guillotine3766]

These gamer companies aren't paying attention, or they hope that their "fans" won't seem to notice that you can get much better keyboards (and usually mice, headphones, etc) for a fraction of what they want for theirs, and at higher quality....if this was 3 years ago...nah, it would still be overpriced but just not by as much...but in the era of really good $100 (or less) boards, this is just absurd.

[@emixonalgaert4376]

$300 holy moly, corporate greed knows no shame...

[@NavyamJain-m8x]

HiPYo could you review the vgn a75 keyboard ?? I saw it on aliexpress and it seemed way too cheap to be magnetic

[@Unfilar]

Can u tell me the best 80% gaming keyboard

[@tehehe5929]

probably 80HE

[@friendsRfor773]

forget 80% get some tkl logi

[@tehehe5929]

Keychron Q3 HE is nice too, but southfacing rgb and no shinethrough keycaps.

[@I3ohdan]

north facing RGB is superior to south facing RGB in every way

[@pointeplusplus]

Oh man I super thought you were going to say that the issue was that the metal ball bearings got into something and shorted something out and actually ruined the keyboard lol. Be careful when putting loose metal into electronics 😜 I really like my Naga mouse by razer and used it up until I got a sit stand converter for my desk and wireless became a must. Keep pointing them in the right direction and maybe they’ll get there 😊

[@Kociak-Hociak16]

Can u try the qk75 when the group buys comeback?

[@brawldude2656]

1000 hz is 1 ms. No one in the word can detect the latency after 1 ms. It's inhumane

[@Archpope]

Why the hell do you hate north-facing LEDs?? Do you LIKE being blinded every time you look at your keyboard?

[@HipyoTech]

It started because it causes interference with cherry profile keycaps, but nowadays its just a bit

[@tehehe5929]

@@HipyoTech That just means cherry profile keycaps need to get on with the times.

[@YukonCornaglia]

My favorite ice cream is Moose Tracks 🍨

[@45hotro]

Blue Bell Moo-llennium Crunch is a buy at any price.

[@MinecraftRobloxPotato]

You should try the Glorious GMMK3

[@nelsing1978]

Main reason im still using a brand keyboard instead of a custom one is that i like my numpad and when i looked at options in the past there were not many offering full size parts i liked. As for if i wanted a 75% for example there would be so many options to pick from so i would not buy a brand keyboard. So yeah, im using a "Corsair K70 Max" and tbh i really like it. But than again i never had a proper custom keyboard to compare it to only other brand keyboards.

[@ShoganGeorge]

The keycaps made a big improvement to the look of it, but I still wouldn't get it. I'm definitely getting the Arbiter Studio Kitsune Pro 75 though. That's the one board I want now, then probably a Rainy 75.

[@Aleksander-g7x]

your telling me that the keyboard costs so much and the screen is black and white?

[@LXS999]

this already makes me feel better about the review of my wooting 80he

[@spartanwill1474]

Btw as far as the original v4 75, it's a great feeling keyboard but it will fail within 1 week. Mine double typed and rbg failed on the first day. I hope they fixed it

[@HetWitteSchaapie.]

is a wooting worth it when you have a membrane?

[@mentarium9741]

all depends on budget and what you're looking for in a keyboard. if you don't need the he switches then there isn't any reason not to go for a cheaper keyboard that still sounds and feels good. but if you are looking for a wooting and it fits your budget, why not give it a shot.

[@HetWitteSchaapie.]

@@mentarium9741Thanks for the advice! i'm kinda addicted to gaming (i game about 10 hours a day if i dont have school) .

[@mrkoolylegend]

i feel they are making there blackwidow a more keyboard for the custom side and the husntman for the gaming side

[@M3RC155]

Bro you didnt insulate anything when you put the metal balls in the keyboard🤣
