It's true though. Reminds me a little of a video I watched recently, where Irish gamer guy Jack Septiceye watches a video of a behavioral analyst talking about him, comparing his early videos to his latest ones. It's kind of a similar progression, at least when it comes to camera performance - the difference here is the Switch & Click duo made that level of improvement in as many months as Jack did in years! I've said it before but this channel is the Gohan of keyboard KZread.

This is your best video--really personable, to-the-point for each board, and easy to follow. Most keyboard videos, I'm fast clicking forward through b roll or just wrong information. This was really enjoyable to watch from beginning to end.

Great video. I feel like not enough keyboard enthusiasts talk about the overall typing experience that comes with each board and focus on switches. Sometimes, a small difference in height can make the all the difference and I'm glad you pointed that out.

Great idea! I saw at least three new keyboards in this video I'd never heard of - but I can also think of a few that would make great competitors alongside them. I'll be shilling the KBD67L 'til the cows come home, and I hear the Portico is pretty great, too. As much as I'm no longer a fan of HK Gaming (distributors for Durgod), I do think the Hades 68 deserves to be in the competition somewhere on its own merits.

This has gotta be one of the best videos yet. The videos starting with the GMMK Pro and onward just get better and better imo. One question though, there's ABSOLUTELY no way that the Niz Plum comes with MT3 Camillo keycaps. I would put a disclaimer here saying so. MT3 Camillo would add another 120 USD to the price of this setup.

Thank you so much for this! Beginner to keyboards here and yours is the first I've ever seen with in depth reviews.

I know a lot of us make more comments about the quality of your channel than the content of a given video, but it's because every single week you guys are visibly stepping-up your game. I've seen this kind of improvement in channels before - but over the course of like 3-5 years, not just a few months. You've got performative energy, super tight editing, great color control - your videos started out good because they had good info, but I have to give props on the herculean level of polish you guys have brought to this channel in such a short amount of time. Now... a short comment about the actual content here. What a fun idea! Frankly I'd love to see more of this sort of thing. Everyone loves a good showdown. And hey - I learned something!

More videos like this would be nice, like "best boards for limited space", "Best silent boards for working", "Best wireless boards for traveling around", etc. I myself had 5 mechanicals at one point and cut it down to 2 now, that rationally cover all my needs.

I will say, if your looking for more tactile (clicky) switches, the EC switches on the Niz Plum might not be for you, if you are looking for a more quiet and fluid typing experience this board is one of my favorites. I've only tried Ducky and Razer boards. The reason I like the Niz Plum so much is that it reminds me of my 2013 MBP laptop keyboard (quiet, easy to type on) but way better.

It's the perfect size, compact, and fits on my desk and great for my small hands. The customizable lighting looks cool. I'm thinking of swapping the Huano Browns for Cherry MX Browns too. I love it!

I don`t think I longed for something this much since I was a little kid(I`m 30). I think I look more forward to this keyboard than the PS5 that will show up sometime in May(pre ordered summer 2020....). As I`m sure most people will tell you the videos are getting better and better. Looking forward to the next one:)

Nice review - I have a KeyChron K2 and NK65 EE. I enjoy both - I've upgraded the K2 to silent browns.

I came here for the keyboards, but it seems that I might actually stick around for the ASMR effect more than anything else. There is something deeply satisfying and even pleasurable in the way that you speak.

Woot! Didn't know there were so many of these.

i'm new here and i just wanted to say i absolutely love your personality.

I got the Ducky X Varmilo MIYA Pro Panda with Cherry MX Clears about a week ago after waiting for just over a month on pre-order. I really like the stiffness factor and the tactility over something like MX Browns; plus the small form factor is definitely nice. Suggestions that you gave when I had asked as well as some of your review videos helped with the decision; along with a key tester that I recommend everyone should get when looking at a new higher end keyboard. Eventually I'd like to pick up a hotswap keyboard and start playing with different switch types, but the hobby can get quite expensive.... lol. Good thing that you and others are here to help us beginners along. :) .

Excited for this one! Too early to say which is my favorite 😁

You are the best reviewer on this topic, appreciate how you give the absolute truth. Great job.

I had the NiZ Plum for awhile and it's honestly a great board. I just wish it had other weight options or properly fit other domes in it. Also, gotta lube those stabs, the factory lube on them doesn't do enough to remove rattle. Think MT3 is one of the best profiles for typing at least in my experience.

I enjoyed the video. I'm hoping you'll do a video on good places to buy custom keycaps from. Thanks!

Glad you think so!

My reason for opting for the Keychron K6 was its bluetooth capabilities. Also it can switch between a macOS and a Windows / Linux layout on the fly by a hardware switch. The missing delete key wasn't to bad since it has a somewhat convenient combo and on linux you can use xmodmap to remap a key. On top on that it has a German layout variant which is something rather rare. What put me off was the non programmability. A shame if you consider it has two dedicated fn keys.

I like how the stock stabs from the ducky x Varmilo sound better then my modded stabs😂

1:27 - idk why but I honestly thought she was gonna say ..."or ideally... shut the heck up" 😂😂

love the vids

That NIZ Plum has certainly been the most comfortable keyboard I have ever used for extended typing sessions, totally agree there. It's so good that it basically killed my interest in keyboards as it achieved what I wanted a keyboard to do, lol. No need to keep looking.

I'd love to hear more about that Nimbleback board! 50 bucks for a hotswap 65 that can support something other than typical Outemu or Optical Gaterons (which flood this price range) has me really interested in trying to make a build out of it. Unfortunately it seems no one is even talking about this board since it's so new! I'd love to see how far that board can go since you mentioned "highly modable." Like I really wonder what a nice paintjob, swapped gaterons, new caps, lube, case foam and new or modded stabs would do for this board. It seems promising based on your initial impressions.

Ducky makes great boards. Always have. I've been using a Ducky for years. I used a Poker for short time but went back to Ducky because of how bad the rattling is with the Poker. And, I can't solder (well, I can, but not well enough to do a board). So, my next board is going to be all in, completely custom. This Ducky One2 mini (they suck at naming boards though) is great. It didn't have really bad rattling but it had some. I did a complete foam packing of the case, then I lubes the stabs with dielectric grease. I just got some Super Lube so I did the sides of each key. It wasn't that hard. I also left the middle screw loose. It's in there, but it's just holding. (thanks for the idea. I had never heard that until she said it in another video). Then taped the screw holes with white tape, added some gray scale, side printed PBT caps from YMDK. I think it's night and day from what it was. I already leave long comments but now I leave even longer ones just so I have more to type. LOL. Also, it's possible that I already left this comment........ keyboards aren't the only things that can be high.

I am surprised the Qisan/Epomaker MagicForce Smart2 was not included in this! It's much cheaper than the Miya Pro: half aluminum case, USB-C, BT 4.0 (since this is a typing-only video having multiple connections to switch to on the fly available is huge!), same layout, PBT Double-shot keycaps, standard bottom row. Picked up mine at Amazon for under $70.00

Thanks for the video. I'm trying to make or buy my first mechanical keyboard and it's frustrating how seemingly every case has tilt. I wish there were more options for completely flat cases, because I've tried tilted keyboards and it just doesn't feel ergonomic.

Keycaps and case height are completely a personal preference. It's nice that you included an Alice style keyboard but they are people out there, that might, legitimately, claim that a proper split tented keyboard might be better for typing.

Great video! but please review the LTC Nimbleback, I couldn’t find any reviews or info about the quality, stabs, etc.

Woot, way to represent, Ducky!!

Would've loved to see the KBD67 Lite on here! Can't decide between that and the NK65 EE. Maybe I should just buy both, lol. I've probably shared this before, but I'd love to see more boards between a 65% and a TKL. Speaking of NIZ, I love the Function row of the Micro 82. Throw that Function row into a NK65 or KBD67 and I'd probably buy both.
