Work Louder Or Hardly Working? The Creator Keyboard Is Beautiful But… | Review

Ғылым және технология

The Creator Keyboard from Work Louder is a modular low-profile custom mechanical keyboard.
It's a beautiful board but It's not without it's faults. I admire the passion and presentation skills of the people behind it, but I wasn't able to fully use it to my heart's content.

    Little update here, Work Louder replied to the accompanying instagram post of this video. The issues I had with the keycap were known and are supposed to be fixed as they were only present in the first round of production and got corrected afterwards. They are also aware of the other issues mentioned and are working on solutions.

    I'm a hobbyist keyboard layout designer and I think that there aren't enough modules to justify the slight benefits over just getting some other keyboard with your preferred layout. The price is actually somewhat reasonable compared to similar keyboards but sucks that the switches are soldered in and can't be modified for better type feel. I would recommend getting something like a gergoplex or a corne instead and adding a macropad. For a budget of about 400 you can probably also make them wireless and have someone else build them for you. The ergonomic and customizability gains are huge and even bigger with optional features like tenting and wirelessness with nice!nano but it does take some work to figure out what you want.

    Thanks for this review, it was really good! This keyboard is really tempting to me, but I think I will wait for a V2 since I'm used to the Preonic and prefer to have a 5th row for numbers. It feels a little bit ironic that they made a modular keyboard, but I can't add a number row to it. It's still early times for them, so I hope that will come soon.

    Thank you for let me know that it's and how we can do better. I also try to build a modular keyboard for myself, so I try to search anyone have same idea and I find this. I am so sad to see that I haven't seen a better version until now. The product more like a art than a keyboard (what a mockery). Maybe I can do better and I want, because I'm a programmer which means I also must use it to work not just louder saying "work louder".

    You can mitigate many of the software gripes by using VIAL instead of VIA. It's a GUI just like VIA, but with much more of QMK's features exposed for programming/assignment. No further flashing of firmware is required too -- it'll work out of the box with QMK/VIA firmware

I understand that they are a small company and the 400$ you are paying includes all of the small details that you mention like the video manual, their responses to the customers and other details but i can't wrap my head around a 400$ non custom keyboard and kailh only switches keycaps. I think the bouncing issue could be fix by adding some screws for the middle. You put a lot of effort into this video and this is amazing too! keep it up.
