WhiteFox - The Most Interesting Keyboard Ever??

[@johnnythegeek]

These 60% type of keyboard sizes are meant for programmers. They don't want their hands to leave the home row. Some people can navigate the entire linux gui by keyboard only. Programmers are use to using key combos for everything. So because the customization is difficult for many of us, it makes perfect sense to many programmers. In my opinion, they were the ones that started the whole custom keyboard culture, not gamers.

[@EricTanGH0ST]

Yeah but for 300$....I think I can find alot better and cheaper 60% keyboard out there...

[@mirby5309]

Oh of course gamers didn't start it. Gamers just want flashy lights and gaudy design.

[@ethan7112]

+mirby haha so painfully true.

[@EricTanGH0ST]

mirby That's just stereotype honestly I find myself am a Gamer, but I never really like those RGB lighting etc. I don't mind if it doesn't have LED at all, but if I'm buying a keyboard, two are similar keyboards and both of the keyboards are price at 300$ but one is without RGB / LED Lighting and another does feature it, of course I will get the one RGB / LED Lighting. Since it's the same price why not have it ? But I won't on purpose pay extra to get the extra lighting of course. PS : I didn't labeled myself a gamer to begin with honestly, it's what my friends kept calling me back in the days. So the title stick.

[@MrStreetbouncer]

+mirby nah im a corsair fan, quality over looks

[@BlueBetaPro]

"Gaming grade peripherals are typically at the leading edge of peripheral design." Bullshit. Certainly not when it comes to keyboards, more like gaming keyboards have the most lights and the ugliest designs.

[@watsyurdeal]

I use a 60%, and I've been extremely happy. I plan to build my own keyboard soon with Zealios and a GH 60 PCB

[@EposVox]

Oh man, what a great-looking keyboard. Great job, Eber!

[@qwazyd0gg]

Wow, what an in-depth review! Most people would just say it's pretty and felt nice, but in true HC fashion, you went that extra mile and I appreciate that :) Stay awesome guys

[@HardwareCanucks]

Thanks man :D

[@MatthewPearce]

Great looking video dude

[@HardwareCanucks]

+Matthew Pearce OMG... Matt watches the channel :) life complete! 👍

[@josiahross2463]

I'd rather have the happy hacking keyboard rather than this one.

[@eber.antony]

Thanks a lot Matt! Really appreciate it coming from you :)

[@geigster]

You guys should review the Pok3r from Vortex!

[@MrKZdemos]

Gtfo youre just copying and pasting the same comment on popular channels videos

[@mrln.bllmnn]

Impressive how much popularity these smaller layouts have gained over the past few years. For myself, I didn't even know about other layouts than full-size and TKL on mechanical keyboards, just from some cheap multimedia keyboards with an integrated touchpad. Now I'm typing this on my Ducky Mecha Mini.

[@Seanmmvi]

im 0:53 in and this lil guy is dope...

[@HardwareCanucks]

+Sean Williams shouldn't you be asking about the giant Thermaltake case review? 😂

[@Seanmmvi]

bahahaha. That was awesome. dont you worry about that, it is still very much on my mind, and if anyone is going to hold you to it, its going to be me. You replied to one of my comment saying that its coming, so I was going to give you a little breathing room :p

[@gregerfulgerman7802]

The v21? Also damn is it nice you read comments and shit thumbs up for this channel very happy i found it

[@Seanmmvi]

+Greg Erfulgerman no, the w200

[@gregerfulgerman7802]

+Sean Williams ah thanks for letting me know

[@ThatsPety]

waaay too pricy for me but I don't mind because the video production on this one is FLAWLESS. Awesome work

[@eber.antony]

Thank you :)

[@sponke99]

Its the hobby enthusiast side of mechanical keyboards

[@NerdReviews]

this keyboard is really beautiful, suited for my setup I think.. it's a shame I lived in Indonesia which I can't bought it

[@AntSwift]

Write on the keyboard if you are in danger Ibra

[@Schaddn]

I thought that was his name too... His name is Eber ;)

[@AntSwift]

Thanks :)

[@Schaddn]

AnT Swift np :D

[@talsing1326]

Wait.. WHAT?

[@canoopsy]

Such a beautiful video. Wow.

[@eber.antony]

Thanks man!

[@calebrobertson5041]

+Eber Antony your voice is always soothing to listen to as well, makes the videos relaxing

[@profetik777]

dude, you made this like a movie, great production / cin skills

[@BeastyBoyGotFire]

Please make a video showing us the color work flow...DAMN THOSE COLORS POP!

[@tuloc]

umm 4yrs ago wassup beasty

[@InputClub]

Awesome video! It was so beautiful to watch, 10/10!

[@eber.antony]

Thank you so much! Really an outstanding project!

[@DuhAverageJoe]

Not sure what camera & lens you're using, but the clarity is amazing!

[@jordanzish]

That is a lovely bit of kit. How do you find the layout with the arrow keys in place of the usual modifiers? I have a Poker II, and while I expected to have trouble with the arrow keys hidden under a function layer, I ended getting used to it within a couple days.

[@ВладимирХарченко-з2т]

stoped watching affter 0:58

[@drumitar]

[@CondoreComputing]

Meanwhile i have $500 into my custom Blue Alps board.

[@NotTheOfficialDark]

whats the point it a fucknig keyboard

[@Ziggurat1]

You forgot the Cherry MX Brown switches, and the rubber feet are supposed to be used (two of them) in addition to the aluminum feet. Then there is one extra included rubber fot. I bought 8 3M from Ebay for about $2.

[@kafkalul]

One of the only boards designed by an enthusiast, gotta love Matteo

[@mechamartini]

Can I choose to have those black keycaps when purchasing or do I have to get them separately and if so where ?

[@Wanooknox]

I would need them to put out a full num pad and standard home/delete/etc keyboard to consider this. I'd also really like to see more room added for a second fn key on the right hand side AND the room for the OS menu button.

[@liquid-slick]

I can't wait to get mine. "The True Fox" layout is what I got, so I'm glad that's the layout you reviewed. Great video.

[@caiocesararts7136]

what is the actual size of the keyboard? I can not find the measurements anywhere.

[@greyareaRK1]

There are full-sized cherry mx keyboards with metal plates for around the same price. I like the idea of templates for application-specific colour-coding, so I'm going to continue to look around.

[@falconflyer2000]

Random question: Is it possible to use different switches for different keys on the keyboard? If, for example, I wanted an MX Brown keyboard, but with Esc, the Spacebar and the arrow keys to be MX Blue?

[@rich1051414]

Assign lock-1 to layer 1 shift, lock-2 to layer 2 shift, etc :) Makes traveling through the layers much easier.

[@sandkatt]

Eber reviews with that soft and soothing voice are the best

[@EddieProduction]

I need that black monitor riser dude! Where'd you get yours?

[@jowanza]

Video mentions retail for $299 retail, where is it sold outside of massdrop?

[@FLdlV]

These guys are the kings of tech cinematography. Their B rolls are simply astounding.

[@Undeworld667]

Great audio too. How you doing your audio?

[@Webster2000]

Zadig? I hope it doesn't interfere with my Gamecube controller adapter

[@IgnacioGlezCllo]

You've probably mentioned it but I think I missed it: does this keybor=ard work with Mac (or is it configurable to work with Macs)?? many thanks

[@plebetopro5786]

I can't speak on the white fix, but I do have the infinity 60% with gateron greens, and I love it. I have actually replaced the full size gaming keyboards I normally run on my main rig with the infinity 60%. I have a preonic I have just finished, but I need to flash it, and test it.

[@zentha]

What stand he use for the nexus? 2:45 please

[@Teddypally]

I'd like to see the WASD keys replacing the mouse for control of the pointer, perhaps in conjunction with another key press. There seems to be little point to having a smaller keyboard if it does not replace the mouse.

[@olivermadariaga]

What's the mouse on the desk @4:10?

[@NewTypeLN5]

I've been using a Ducky Mini for the past couple years so I'm used to the 60% layout. If you don't need the number pad, once you get used to the extra desk space, it's hard to go back to a full size. I think for the ability to customize the function layers so extensively, the keyboard would definitely be worth the price. Might consider this in the future.

[@replicant8532]

Looks nice, would consider it but 1. the price tag, 2. the bezel is too wide, they shold try to make it thinner like Pok3r.

[@YanDoroshenko]

Can you program WhiteFox if you like to use your computer (as opposed to it using you) and you don't run Windows?

[@trizanzor]

Is this a wireless keyboard connected via bluetooth? Can I access bios with this keyboard? I'm currently using logitech k810. However, I can't access bios witgh my keyboard.

[@Jeppelelle]

So, would it be possible to swap the keys and the layout so that you can have a Swedish/Nordic layout on the keyboard?

[@TimIsABat]

Yes since it is programmable and if you can get a hand on the keycaps there ya go

[@AS7352]

The white fox is a beauty. and for those who dont know - there are tons of such typist/programmer keyboards on massdrop

[@SeBeck]

Maybe it's the alcohol talking but your videos always make me relax. I like it. Also really tiny kb, I went from a ten-key less back to a full (standard) layout because it drove me mad.

[@yannickROXyourSOX]

Honestly this came up in my recommended and clicked it on a whim, but I have to say the quality of this video is top notch, as expected from a fellow Canadian. NEW SUB ALERT! Can't wait to watch the rest

[@WebystherNunes]

Whats is the brand of dock for smartphone in the desk?

[@dalesnail]

60% Keyboard? Where is it? is it in the vid behind the whitefox?

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

Seems like a great keyboard for productivity. Pretty amazing how customizable this is. You wouldn't think so just looking at it. Those blues don't seem nearly as clackity as my G710 keys are.

[@microteam4]

I strongly disagree, I don't see how you could be productive in a keyboard with that much keys that are missing. For everyone but typist this keyboard will just make you slower overhaul

[@Vespene]

Isn't the MX profile out of sync for anyone that plans on using custom keycaps? re: TKL keys to the right of Enter.

[@mcmaximax]

For the full price I'd consider going with HHKB. But then I wanted the HHKB to be as customizable and looked as good as this thing does.

[@erictheberry]

I ordered this on Massdrop with MX Greens. Can't wait for it to show up!

[@NetvoTV]

Is there a Bluetooth + cable version?

[@stormthrush37]

This would be a great keyboard for those with space at a premium, as mentioned. Price seems pretty high for what's offered, though, especially given other options.

[@robertwhite4864]

A little late, but you guys should check out the minivan keyboard. You don't know tiny until you have seen that board.

[@winja2109]

I've actually been rocking the Ajazz AK33 recently and really love it. The overall design is pretty kickass as well as it's the 75% layout as opposed to the ~60% of the whitefox. The AK33 doesn't have cherry switches which is unfortunate, but these seem pretty similar to cherry imho. The 75% layout for me is a lot better than the 60% because it's not all that much bigger and you get a lot more functionality. Really the only thing at all you lose is the num key pad.

[@charlieonyoutube8135]

I thought I read somewhere that Cherry MX White switches haven't been made since the 80s. Am I wrong about this? This is a new keyboard with MX Whites, so I'm confused.

[@ishallbebuttercup]

Liking the video for the amount of production you put in, not really into the keyboard but great video all around.

[@ConnorBP]

I want one looks great for a LAN party setup or to conserve desk space

[@aaronchamberlain4698]

Link to kits? I would love to build one but not going to pay $179.

[@blaaaaaaaaaaagh]

Awesome video! I love the look of this keyboard! These custom keyboards influenced me to try my hand at making one myself, as I'm looking for a small ortholinear keyboard. I'm still in the early design phase, but I've started testing on an old broken keyboard by removing the PCB and replacing it with a Teensy 3.1 controller board and hand soldering the matrix. It taught me a lot about how keyboards and soldering work, as well as the fact that I want to do more projects like this! Hope to see you guys having a look at more of these more niche keyboards in the future!!!

[@mshrg]

I love the build quality and the customization idea, but restricting it to this condensed layout, and with no option for a numpad at least, it's restricted to a very niche market, that sadly doesn't include me. However I'm personaly okay with it lacking USB-A-in ports. IMHO I think it would be a great idea if they make a separate magnet-attachable numpad, perhaps even daisy-chaining several 'pads'.

[@theotherlinh]

I love these things, but I do not want to build them. So the cost becomes extremely prohibitive. I'm stuck with prebuilt keyboards, heh. I do want to find something similar to this layout though. A step down from the tenkeyless keybaords, but not so far down as the 61 key ones.

[@ForNoOne1]

$300 MSRP is ridiculous, even for a high quality mech board. Most Vortex boards are only $140 and I can't see how this is somehow twice is good when the functionality and build quality is essentially identical.

[@STONE_COLD_SNEED_AUSTIN]

4:09 What mousepad is that?

[@PeteZa92]

This guy has like one of the most soothing voices for doing product review

Hi

[@sidgar1]

Burn lol!

[@ShivamKamaansing]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@siryessirnosir]

Given the essentials for creative applications, I can't see myself getting something so expensive that doesn't even have a numpad, or usb ports.

[@nzgroller]

I quite like being able to flash custom combinations without having dedicated software running

[@JubulburbWuldrd]

what is the hype about mechanical keyboards? i have apple wireless kb and it's small, light, build with aluminium and feels really great - i love typing on it. I have some old mechanical kbs (from power macintosh, i think from 1995, and in old ibm laptop) and they are to loud and bulky

[@AshTailor]

Nice! You did the hand swipe thing too! 💪

[@Ratseeker]

Wait there is soldering involved behind this?!

[@aagha]

Great vide. Mind me asking what--at 2m50s--your phone is mounted on?

[@RockyBergen]

Yes, keep up the quest for the perfect keyboard. I may consider this sort of keyboard due to the build quality and compact design.

[@MinopolisMc]

btw, unassembled, you can also get it with 65g purple Zealios

[@Subidubi]

Hot damn the production quality went from superb to phenomenal at 4:10 !

[@prettybitchmarquitos392]

What are you're thoughts on the hhkb pro 2?

[@jprod21]

Bought it for when I travel so I don't have to bring a big keyboard. I would recommend getting cherry my reds because it's quieter than my blue switch keyboard

[@mz_emmet]

but can you raid naxx with it? that's the question

[@PurpleMatrix500k]

Ohh, that shot with the keyboard on that railing was very risky! Nice video! I already ordered one of these, I am very excited.

[@eber.antony]

Life is all about taking risks :D

[@kla8225]

where can i get the winkeyless version

[@patrekkk]

do you guys know any keyboard with this kind of layout and just cheap?

[@DoktreSam]

Imma go start a new keyboard company and market it as "The Most Customizable Keyboard" and only have the metal board, no buttons or cables will come with it... It'll be a super premium, well detailed design and cost $300... The buttons will be customizable and each button will cost $20, the USB cable to connect the keyboard is $50. If you want the keyboards to have the alphabet labels, $10 extra per button... If you want the keyboard to have a paint then it'll be extra $200 or it'll be just steel metal color straight from the factory xD

[@baha2092]

The metal color from the factory should be more expensive about +150 more than painted versions.

[@ashishkalam9337]

A suitable keyboard for iMac users. A good upgrade from the apple keyboard . A professional with work regarding hours of typing will love this however , it's not for all-around use. i'd only use this when typing for long hours on essays and novels. I love the sound, a must buy if you can afford to have more than one keyboard

[@r8ees]

I was confused and scared that Dimitri wasn't making all the video's.. but Eber is growing on me :D

[@adrianthomas4163]

Man you guys are doing it again with the high quality videos. Keep it up!

[@eber.antony]

Thanks man!

[@mikescarfone9358]

+Eber Antony I agree. Dimitri and your self put the guys at LTT to shame

[@Brootahlizer]

I don't know who popularized the "set aperture to 1.8 / 2.0 and pull the focus ring" style of "tech reviews", but it gets old pretty quick. I would suggest spending time on optimizing the script (i.e., eliminating any redundancies), rather than showing Food Network-style focus porn with a keyboard on a flat surface.

[@adrianthomas4163]

Pet My Bear I didn't see your reviews anywhere. What's your youtube channel link again?

[@Brootahlizer]

Adrian Thomas So because I don't produce content on KZbin means I can't call out the overused focus porn?

[@casperko8311]

Did they stop the cherry blue versions of the Whitefox?

[@googoogjew]

"Considering the compact layout, this cannot be considered a fully fledged gaming keyboard" Why not? I mean, for MMOs or RPGs, sure, but how often do you use any keys on the right side of the board during FPS or MOBA gameplay (or any other game that relies heavily on the mouse)? Many of the most popular mechanical gaming keyboards are Tenkeyless, for example, the k65, the BlackWidow TE, or the Cooler Master QFR. Personally I switch between a full sized IBM Model M, which I mostly use for typing due to the switches, a 40% sized Planck keyboard, and I'm planning on building an 18% sized gaming keypad using Cherry MX blacks. Among the many benefits of a compact keyboard for gaming, is the fact that it gives you so much more mouse space, which is especially useful if you play at a low DPI, and I would think that Eber would appreciate this, given he is a CS:GO player. If anything, in some cases, this type of keyboard would be more suited to gaming and writing than for office use, as office workers I'm sure have more of a use for a number pad than gamers.

[@SurvivorNVL]

Shame you didn't go for the Zealio option! Gateron are leagues above Cherry in terms of crispness and smoothness, and Zealio are just incredible mass-manufactured, but modified switches.

[@bylatt]

What mouse model do you use? It's look nice :D

[@Josiahsarmiento]

this video is too crispy 😂 that depth of field is amazing. keep these vids up guys.

[@NicholasJohnson14]

How do you do the overhead shots?

Cause they started clickbaiting not too long ago. I blame it on the apple laptop dimitri switched to

They want Demitri and don't like the other people. I think they're just fine but that's just me.

[@MrKZdemos]

Welcome to the channel :D Make sure to explore our previous videos! We have three producers: Dmitry, Eber and Aidan. So if you hear/see differences, it's all good :)

[@Voidward]

Already have a Poker 2, which is about the same size, though I only spent around $100 on it.

[@LimitedWard]

Poker 3 owner here. I love the form factor, but I do miss the convenience of dedicated arrow keys sometimes. It's pretty funny though when I watch my coworkers try to use it though XD

[@Voidward]

LimitedWard My GF has looked for arrow keys several times now to no success. Mine's got the option of using function wasd for arrow keys, and I bound the function key to left win so I can still use arrow keys with WASD one handed. Works well enough for me that I don't mind them missing.

[@LimitedWard]

Stan V I recently got some SA pulse caps. Been considering using the arrow keys from the tkl kit for my IJKL since that's where my arrows are on my Pok3r.
