"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.

[@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

[@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

[@EposVox]

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

[@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

[@profetik777]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!

[@shasterdhari]

Excellent review and great video with amazing shots! I love the chill vibe

[@zhmazter7968]

Really nice editing and review, keep on the good work fam.

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@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 :)

[@RetardedAsianGuy]

Its the hobby enthusiast side of mechanical keyboards

[@hbonilla89]

Awesome review and beautiful presentation of the features!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@ErykDante]

Hey man you have become a great reviewer over time! Fantastic job! You definetely fit in the HWC team! Cheers! :)

[@Josiahsarmiento]

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

[@InputClub]

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

[@Eber.Antony]

Thank you so much! Really an outstanding project!

[@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?

[@aagha]

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

[@ACallander22]

Glad you did a review.. I've been eyeballing this!

[@mechamartini]

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

[@AshTailor]

Nice! You did the hand swipe thing too! 💪

[@kafkalul]

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

[@sillylieu]

No F keys? How the fuck you gonna change seats in BF4? Looks super dope though.

[@maggiejordan2638]

+Ro0ster I have a laptop where the f keys are combined with media keys, and having to hold fn every time I want to use a function key is a pain in the butt. It especially sucks in games where I need to switch to 3rd person really quick and then I have to find the function key, hold it, and then take my right hand off the mouse and find f3 of whatever it is. It takes a lot of time and that's why the absence of fn keys can be bad especially if you need it quickly.

[@maggiejordan2638]

+Ro0ster good point. I'm pretty bad at hand eye coordination so it's hard for me to find the fn button sometimes. I'll look into changing my f buttons to wasd so that I don't have to lift my hands. My hands a pretty small so I have to sometimes strength to reach keys. Thanks for the suggestion though I'll definitely look into that ;)

[@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

[@ishallbebuttercup]

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

[@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.

[@andrewthemorley]

Great vid! I saw this keyboard on massdrop recently but didn't really understand it until this video. I'll be getting it with the MX Brown and truefox layout :) The only other layout I ever loved this much is the Vortex KBT Pure Pro and nobody sells it anymore :(

[@user-il6ei7mh5o]

Its a great keyboard. Had mine since the first batch went out a month or so ago, and it was pretty easy to get together and working. It is an awesome keyboard :)

[@shixxor]

Awesome in-depth review. Made me sub your channel.

[@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.

[@BeastyBoyGotFire]

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

[@tuloc]

umm 4yrs ago wassup beasty

[@DuhAverageJoe]

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

[@erictheberry]

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

[@EddieProduction]

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

[@MartinLawlietProioxix]

Fantastic review, had I known about this awesome keyboard I probably would have purchased one. I've used full size keyboards all my life until recently. Really wanted a new mech keyboard and came across the Pok3r RGB. Fell in love with it almost immediately and that's what I'm using now. Took some getting used to a 60% but it's awesome. As for the Whitefox I can understand why you have to do most things yourself. It's an experience to build and use it. I'll be on the look out for others like it.

[@UltraDXSASC]

Love the quality of this vídeos, so beautiful and georgeus

[@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?

[@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.

[@haikalxy]

godd your audio is like a lullaby to my ear! thumbs up!!

[@prettybitchmarquitos392]

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

[@NicholasJohnson14]

How do you do the overhead shots?

[@WebystherNunes]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@sandkatt]

Eber reviews with that soft and soothing voice are the best

[@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.

[@YanDoroshenko]

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

[@Bad888Max]

what is that mousepad you have!?

[@olivermadariaga]

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

[@ConnorBP]

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

[@caiocesararts7136]

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

[@Subidubi]

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

[@nitronixus9402]

it was expensive, but it was really worth watching, amazin vid guys keep up the good work!!!

[@bylatt]

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

[@Undeworld667]

Great audio too. How you doing your audio?

[@zentha]

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

[@NotShuba]

Whats the mouse pad he is using?

[@rich1051414]

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

[@kingwindie]

what is the name of the mouse in the video?

[@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

[@scottsword3066]

Great sound comparison

[@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

[@jowanza]

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

[@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.

[@Patrick-nz8ko]

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

[@AS7352]

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

[@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.

[@Schmotz1031]

4:09 What mousepad is that?

[@user-xo7hb6ts7j]

stoped watching affter 0:58

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

[@NotTheOfficialDark]

whats the point it a fucknig keyboard

[@JoeP787]

How fast do you type?

[@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.

[@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.

[@dalesnail]

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

[@Webster2000]

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

[@JamesDavern12]

I saw this on Massdrop a while ago, showed it to my keyboard fanatic friend lol.

[@kla8225]

where can i get the winkeyless version

[@nick-hq8oz]

hope they release a silent version of the keyboard with usb ports! would be awesome :D nice video HF!

[@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

[@NetvoTV]

Is there a Bluetooth + cable version?

[@Zibonnn]

Awesome review! Flawless!

[@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.

[@thatguynar]

One of my dream mkbs. Sad ordering from MD is a pain where I'm from.

[@WikiPeoples]

What an excellent review. Amazing audio, amazing camera work, amazing in depth review. Hands down one of the best I've seen on KZbin. Screams quality. Sub'd !

[@HardwareCanucks]

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 :)

[@blacksunaccounts]

can anyone help me out? i am looking for a 75% rgb cherry mx 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

[@aaronchamberlain4698]

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

[@DalmarWolf]

Hearing the name made me wonder if they have or are going to use this song in their material, heh: Susanne Sundfør - White Foxes

[@el.mitines3064]

gr8 reviw m8 keep it up!!

[@isunktheship]

Love the opening rotation 0:00

[@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.

[@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.

[@martinlinggajaya]

Can't help but look at that cool looking PC in the background. Why not do a tour video of that?

[@lelouchvibritannia4495]

Thumbnail = that's what she said

[@bradval4119]

Hi

[@sidgar1]

Burn lol!

[@ShivamKamaansing]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@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
