Honestly, I feel like Asus is the only gaming company who is listening to the enthusiasts. Which is amazing! hype!

75% is my favorite layout too. I'm on a ROG Falchion now, I'm definitely getting this.

My 77 yr old dad might like this keyboard. He likes wireless because he types with keyboard on his lap (helps his arms and shoulder bones and arthritis issues etc). He also likes shine through North facing, because he types from his lap, often in low light and he prefers to see the legends light up. *I'm still going to get him a nice BenQ floor lamp to illuminate his area better. He also prefers a lightweight keyboard so he can lift it from his desk to his lap easily (he's 77 yr old and has shoulder and joint issues etc). I'd modify this with Kailh Box Brown V2 switches. I'd then use the thickest PBT double shot shine through caps I can find. I'd loosen the screws, similar to in this video, to prevent over compressing the gaskets and foam so that they work better. Hopefully it won't be over $200 USD though

I feel like theres a market growing for people are trying to get gaming keyboards that sound good (prebuilt gaming keyboards). Like akko boards but both focused on gaming and sound(lubed stabs, foams, good sounding switches, etc) I'm excited to see if gaming companies will start focusing on sound and let people start entering the keyboard rabbit hole?

I will say that this at stock sounds really really good tbh. I would buy it and use it for some months fully stock, maybe just try to lube the included switches. I will look into it 'depending on the price' like Hipyo said. Thanks a great for an informative video, I'm looking at changing my Akko for a more "gamey" board (no idea why)

Hey mate. Great videos, you couldn't be more agnaging and informative, awesome job :) It would be great tho if u could make a video abou full size keyboards. Some of us are gamers actually working from their game stations, and we really need that numpad on hand 😂 there are many budget options out there, from reddragon, some keychron and many brands I've never heard of before and making good choice is difficult. For example g413 from logitech sounds like a good, simple, 'budgetish" option, but it's not hot swap and can't find any good info about their switches, any way to improve them or so. Just saying, would be great to see something like that :)

Thank you Hipyo! Got a Keychron V1 96% for work and added Gateron Yellows with Whale keycaps! 🎉

Can't wait to see when I can buy this hope the price point isn't too crazy but seems to be better than most of the competition if offered in retail stores like Best Buy, only competition I see there is glorious brand which the Best Buy local to me does sell some of.

Whoa, that "after" sound is pretty damn good. Might have to pick me up one of these.

the 10 second part im really here for is at the end..nice. Most important thing at the end

RIP Lawyer Hipyo. The keyboard is tempting. It's one of the two gamer keyboards that I would like to try. The second is Wooting 60 HE.

I like those stabs, feels like they're easier to tune from the looks of it. Hopefully it's not proprietary and can fit on other boards.

I've mained this keyboard for a while now. I actually really like it and don't see any reason to change it for now. Yeah it's a bit pricey, but you do get a solid keyboard. I prefer 75% layout. And when compared to one of my other keyboards like the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL it's just better in everything. For almost the same price! The battery life is insane on this, I've never experienced any wireless problems, the software works fine and the info screen is pretty nice for a quick check on cpu and gpu temp while gaming. I changed to silent tactile switches and different keycaps. I only wish it came in a solid black or white option. Kudos to Asus for making a really solid keyboard that touches more into the custom keyboard genre!

hipyo thank you so much. i am so happy i listened to your tutorial on how to lube switches. i lubed my sk61. it has yellow switches. i dont know how to fix ticking stabs though thanks.

I'm actually considering this keyboard, it costs the same as I was otherwise going to spend on a new board, has that wonderful screen, works with Armoury Crate (I already have an ASUS motherboard), and comes with the lube station included. I like clacky, so i'll likely lube the stock switches and unscrew the case screws for more gasket performance.

Hipyo blue hair = budget ninja

RIP Lawyer Hipyo. Your changes sound much better but I really like the aesthetic of the originals and having the light. If they did south facing RGB I'd probably pick this up and find another set of keycaps and switches for it. Shame cause it's like 80% perfect for what I'd want.

For what it's worth, I don't think the north facing LEDs are because of lack of research, it's so the shine through key caps it comes with don't look sad and dim. Their main gamer market is more likely to care about the backlight looking good with the keycaps they'll probably use the entire time they have it, over one of the many different kinds of keycaps not working with it.

I think Asus should make a new keyboard like this but make it more focused on the keycap quality instead of the rbg

I feel like this keyboard is a good area somewhere in the spectrum of of enthusiast and gaming. will definitely be picking up.

Keyboard looks awesome. It keeps all the arrows and it has a volume control?! Looks like a great gaming keyboard. 60% are cool but the lack features i really use alot

Well, now this keyboard is on my list of "what keyboard should I buy when I have enough for an expensive one" next to the mountain everest max

Got it on release before it even went live replaced my zoom65 wireless. Sold out world wide for a reason the wireless performance is insane and battery for weeks or months if you turn off rgb and oled sound is “ good” with amazing space bar sound. Feel is “good”

Hi Hipyo, I love your videos :))))

LED screen is a nice touch. definitely considering

This is a solid keyboard. Asus is making progress. Whatever you think of it compared to other enthusiast boards, there's NO "gaming" big brand out there that can rival this one. Good job Asus!

this is just what i was trying to find

Actually ordered one to replace my GMMK Pro.

North facing LEDs are better for shinethrough keycaps because most keycaps have the legend on top. That said though they could have gone with cherry profile keycaps that shine through but that might have caused interference with stock switches

This keyboard ended my search for finding my perfect blue switch keyboard. The multiple foam layers and silicone pads made each click light and crisp and not an obnoxious loud reverb thud when you press down bottoming out. Highly recommend 👍

mog the stabs are really good

Using all metal creates a faraday cage effect, interfering with wireless communication. This is at odds with the Aluminum CNC aesthetic people like, but I think it's a worthwhile compromise to be able to make it wireless and reduce latency.

Great step in the right direction for mass market manufacturers for sure, and hopefully it's a trend that continues. The price is going to be a huge deciding factor though. I don't see it finding much appeal from the mechanical keyboard enthusiast market if it's not priced under $200, but then again I really don't think we're the target demographic for this thing. Still...they would do well to try and keep this thing under $200 if possible.
