@davidhudson190 Corsair makes decent keyboards, just not this one. The Corsair K65 Plus is an excellent 75%'er. My daily driver is the Asus ROG Azoth, but I regularly test new keyboards and have two in rotation on my gaming rig. As for productivity, I'm testing a NuPhy and another brand's pre-release keyboard. If you are looking for the quietest keyboard, I would go with Apple's Magic Keyboard if on Mac or the Logitech MX Keys for PC. Both are excellent membrane keyboards. Appreciate the comment! 👍

@Chef_PewPew good question and if you use a laptop only, then Armoury Crate Gear may be a better option. I like Aura Sync, so I use the fully loaded version of Armoury Crate. The fact that Asus published Aurmory Crate Gear means it knows Armoury Crate Fully Loaded is wonky. 🙄

@@mynusten Definitely is. Only downside to Armoury Crate Gear is that they have to app for individual devices instead of as a lightweight hub for all Asus gear.

@@Chef_PewPew Oh, man! Didn't realize there is a "Gear" app for each device. That sounds painful.

@@mynusten Yup so you're kind hamstrung using Armoury Crate or have a bunch of Asus apps for each device.

🤦‍♂️

@sixtheninth agree with you on that point. There are just not that many, low-profile keyboards that are focused on gamers. Right now, the G515 is probably the best in today's market.

@ponyboy402 as of today, Armoury Crate doesn't have any features that enable overlays, like an FPS counter. MSI Afterburner is a popular app for overclocking & tracking FPS speed & other metrics, but you can also use the FPS counter in Steam. Also, look for in-game options, too, as these usually are best.

@lzgrfx08 the G515 is a decent keyboard and I'm glad to see Logitech back. I didn't have any issues with the RGB and my worked no problems. Let me know what your problem is and maybe I can help out.

@GentaFanboy The G915 is an aged keyboard and I'm surprised Logitech still sells it...the G515 keyboard is superior in all aspects. It is nice to see that Logitech is finally releasing decent keyboard, but it has a way to go to catch the competition. As for the big brands, Asus and Corair are eating Logitech up, but maybe Logitech's new CEO will right the ship. Zero media keys I can somewhat undertand at $140, but not to inlcude a volume dial is head scratcher for sure. Thanks for the kind comments! 👍

LOL...fortunately, no. That was a wild story!

@refragged the G515 is a decent new keyboard from the legnedary Logitech. Logitech has a new CEO and hopefully she can turn the company around...sans the subscription mouse debacle. I thoroughly enjoyed my week on the G515 and its solid...and very glad Logitech didn't try to charge $250 for it! Thanks for the kid comments. Very much enjoying the content creation hobby and learning how to make vids.

@MarbsMusic as always, many thanks for the kind words! I.m.o., low profile keyboards is the most difficult form factor to master as its really difficult to find the perfect fit. I will say that Logitech has really nailed the elevations and feel for the low profile keyboard. I gamed on the G915 TKL for years, loved it until the gaming keybard wars began and the G515 is a decent (and affordable) successor to the G915. Its going back in the box for now as the Azoth remains my daily driver, but sure something will dethrone it this year. Can't make the swing for the Azoth Extreme, but will watch the price over time. As for the Nos75, boy-oh-boy, I'm really torn on this keyboard. Don't get me wrong, its awesome, but the Nos75 suffers deeply from NuPhy "product substitution" challenges...it's own keyboards at well below 1/2 the price get you 85% of what the Nos75 delivers. The other challenge is its wired and, on my Mac, I prefer 100% wireless. On another note, just took my first guitar lesson last week. This is my latest hobby to keep my brain and dexterity moving...between gaming, content creation and guitar, I'm aiming to keep that noggin' working hard.

Congrats on the first guitar lesson! I’ve been playing about 40 years now and still enjoy it. Need to start making videos ago to add to my channel but do have a few from recent years. Had to focus on health and work so much the last couple of years but that being good now I need to do more guitar and some keyboard content!

@@MarbsMusic I look forward to watching your guitar content. That’s a whole new skill to learn!

@bojack3827 very interesting comment and I have a Lofree supposedly coming in the mail! Looking forward to checking it out. Going to film my review on the Nos75 and you hit on the biggest challenge with the Nos75...price of entry.

@beter4450 that's a bummer for sure. Do you have a spare keycap to replace the faulty one? Also, try rebuilding the keycap and wipe down the pins.

@@mynusten nope, its a problem with the switch itself rather than the keycap, i contacted amazon so they gave me a refund and I bought instead the k70 pro 🙃🙃thanks for replying ;)

@@beter4450 always! Appreciate the comment and your engagement in my content. The keyboard community is a fun group. 👍

@kamaradski1 a full-sized Nos keyboard would be an absolute tank! The Nos75 is very heavy. If you are okay with a non-aluminum chasis, NuPhy makes several 96-ky keyboards that are quite good. Appreciate the comment. 👍

@andrewang6355 it does sound really gooooood, for sure. I'll be posting my final thoughts / review this weekend and the Nos75 has one (possibly deal breaking) weakness. 👍

@Kolgeographyiscool although there could be several reasons why the Corsair K70 spacebar is rattling, it is most likely due to a loose stabilizer. Stabilizers sit on the left-&-right side of the space bar. It could also be the switch, which is hot swappable, or possibly some crumbs that have lodged in the open areas of the keyboard. I would start hear. I would remove the spacebar switch, disassemble it, check for any debris inside and then reassemble it. Next, I would take a blower to the overall keyboard and make sure any loose debris is blown from the keyboard. If that doesn't fix your spacebar, then its probably a loose stabilizers. Unfortunately, the only way to fix this is to disassemble the Corsair K70, remove the stabilizers, check them out and then reattach them. Do let me know if this fixes the issue.

Nevermind. I think thats just the regular sound of the spacebar. I ended up replacing it and it sounds the same so yeah. But thanks for your help.

@@Kolgeographyiscool the keycap wouldn't be the cause of a rattle unless the part that the switch connets to is damaged. That would be unusual. The rattle is most likely due to a loose stabilizer, but this would require opening-up the keyboard. It isn't too challenging and you just have to keep track of all the screws.

@@mynusten Thats kinda strange because the keyboard is brand new from Best Buy.

@@mynusten but its only the sides. Both of them rattle a little. But the middle is fine. I really do think it’s ok but I’m not 100% sure.

🤣🤣🤣 Now that's a great content idea! Indeed, I've got more than a few of these silver suits lying around. Man, I'm torn with the Nos75. It's a great keyboard and sounds fantastic, but I think NuPhy's own keyboards make the Nos75 irrelevant. To highlight this point is the Nos75 has no wireless capability. At $250+ for the basic version, its a tough recommend. Going to post my final thoughts this weekend. I'm enjoying the G515, but its only for a specific market...more on that later.

@@sixtheninth that’s a bummer! No issues with my board so far, but will keep an eye on this feature.

@@mynusten Several other reviewers have reported that all V2 models have significantly shorter reliable connectivity range which is quite a weird downgrade. I usually take my board to game about 2-3m away from the receiver and there is where all hell breaks loose. Kinda defeats the wireless for me. Give it a go and see how far you can take it before it starts misbehaving.

@@sixtheninth Very interesting and I'll give this a try later tonight...I haven't heard about this issue and thanks for letting me know.👍

@s-code-b that's a very good point and it is not a bad keyboard to hammer away on through the work day. I haven't had time to game on the G515 yet, but will get a few rounds of Warzone in later this week. Another good alternative for work / productivity keybaords is the NuPhy brand as it comes with excellent switch & keycap options and is fully customizable. Not sure what is happening over at Logitech, but it needs to join the customizable band wagon and get back in the the game. G-Hub needs an overhaul as well. As always, thanks for the input! 👍

@@mynusten Not likely Logitech will ever open to customizations. The G515 is the most open of their keebs (by far) software-wise. NuPhy boards look good & sound good, but the layouts are limiting. 60% boards are useable, even for productivity, but ought to have all the regular keys in place; it is small enough, no need to exclude keys further. 75% boards are usually cramped: no boundary space between the num-keys & the F-keys above, neither between the Enter-key-column & the nav-keys to the right. Those boundary spaces, horizontal or vertical, serve to guide the fingers, without which unintentional keystrokes are frequently hit. There is the NuPhy Gem80 now, but with regular (tall) keys.

@@s-code-b Agree with you...its all a compromise now-a-days. My daily driver remains the Asus ROG Azoth as it gives me the best of what I need for work and productivity. On my Mac, though, I'm a 100% NuPhy board user. I took a pass on the Gem80 as I have a backlog of keyboards to review. Should be getting the new Lofree in for a pre-Kickstarter review. Looking forward to that one.

@@mynusten Wow: Asus ROG Azoth. I've only seen pictures of that keeb. I already think you are right about it; except, for me, one more modifier key in addition to the Alt & Ctrl on the righthand would be even better. If only I weren't so tightfisted😁. But it does seem like a long-term-keeper. Multi-OS user here also, but I like to have the R-Ctrl key (in addition to the Cmd & Opt keys) even when on MacOS.

I fully agree with you. Logitech should have released MX TKL.

@MarbsMusic I hear you...I hit the pause button on the Azoth Extreme as well. I am currently testing the Nos75 on my Mac and so far mixed feelings. NuPhy makes so many outstanding and affordable keyboards, the extras the Nos75 brings is really a diminishing returns issue. Also, the Nos75 doesn't have wireless, which is a bummer. I'll get my review of both keyboards up this weekend and really nice to see Logitech back to making decent boards again. The G515 has a specific market for sure and this will be the center aspect of my review. Also going to try a new style for my reviews...shorter and to the point. I think that's the TH-cam trend. As always, appreciate the inputer Subscriber #1. 👍

Interesting because I recently got the Air75 V2 with the cowberry switches and they sound and feel fantastic!

@@uniqueomegal0l207 NuPhy makes great gear...easily one of the best productivity keyboards. I'm testing the Nos75 and its good, but I don't think you need to spend the money to get the same feel.

@@uniqueomegal0l207 ours has the wisteria but probably should have gotten the Moss. Going to try those or some other new ones that will fit and see as I’m more of a tactile guy.

@@mynusten Hey what are your favourite or recommended keyboards for typing + gaming? I have my eye on the Razer blackwidow v4 75% and Asus Azoth. An included wrist rest is important to me. Any other keyboards I should consider? Thanks.

@vqa33 don't disagree with you and the sound is definitely not ideal; however, at $140, the average gamer who is not a keyboard afficianado, I think the G515 will appeal to a wide swath of gamers who trust the Logitech brand. The prior keyboards released by Logitech were terrible and the G515 is a step in the right direction for Logitech. Still can't understand why it does't add in hot-swappable switches. Appreciate the comment. 👍

I've seen several reviews of this keyboard on TH-cam. This keyboard (in brown:tactile) is noticeably quieter on one's desk than it sounds on video reviews. I also thought it was unnecessarily loud when I first viewed the reviews. It's much milder in person.

@@s-code-b The G515 is definitely quieter that it sounds in the video as I think the bass frequencies get amplified through my dininig room table when filming / recording the sound test. I need to find a solution to absorb these sounds. The one thing on the brown, tactile switches is there is almost no noticable actuation point. The brown-tactiles almost feel like linears.

@@mynustenI have a g pro superlight 2 do you think the mouse is way louder? i would like it to be balanced?

@@LowkeyKubas I like the SuperLight 2 mouse and its super clicky mouse butons. Replace mice switches is a major undertaking and it may be more trouble that its worth. There are a few TH-camrs that provide videos on how to replace mice switches. Hope this helps. 👍

@TinkiVinkis Interesting as I haven't watched any other G515 reviews. For me, I always prefer a heavier switch as I use my gaming keybaords for work and gaming. Typing long-term on linear switches is not comfortable...that said, the pressure difference between the linears and tactiles is very minimal. Early impressions, the G515 is a decent keyboard at its price point...great to see Logitech back to making better gaming gear. Appreciate the comment! 👍

​@@mynusten Thank you for your review. I had already ordered and returned the G515 tactile as it was too heavy for me. Now, I am waiting for the G515 linear to be restocked in Europe.

@@TinkiVinkis also waiting for linear version. After it will be available i will instantly buy it.

@@vqa33 I'm already two weak waiting for that, because tactile its too loud and too hard press

@flarierza33 the new Azoth Extreme does come with a wrist wrest, but that keyboard is $500. 🙁 I've been using the Glorious Wrist Rest in the Compact, Regular size and it fits well with the Azoth. Appreciate the comment.

@Bookkie-Zero I'm coming to the conclusion that the most important mouse feature is the body shape. Almost all the major gaming gear maufacturers have similar under the hood tech. Thanks for the comment!

@jammies701 on TKL and 75% keyboards, the Delete key is often on the R1 or R2 row and I wish gaming keyboards would become more consistent with a R1 Delete key as its easier for productivity...I use a my Azoth for both work and gaming. Appreciate the comment! 👍

so I use a 75% sort of as well, and this keyboard has delete on R2, which you mentioned as one of the normal locations on a 75%, so I'm trying to understand what you mean when you say it's in a weird spot. The R1 thing you said i get, but I'm just confused about what you said about the R2. Personally I prefer R2 delete, but options are always good, and I can easily see why someone would want to remap it to R1 next to backspace

@@NickFje that’s awesome! I’m still hammering away on my Azoth with blue clicky switches. The keyboard just keeps on going. I’ve even taken the time to dial in my audio mixer’s noise gate to make sure no key clicks come through my EV RE20 mics. I’m tempted to buy the new Azoth for a review, but it’s hard to justify a $500+ swing. Appreciate the comment! 👍

@@mynusten I want to try out the new Azoth extreme too but it costs the equivalent of 600 dollars here so I am not buying it. Maybe if it was half the price and I did not own the regular version already.

@@vegaslu7561 thanks for the kind words. Stumbled into this work around and glad it’s helping others. 👍

The 110 power is only used in the event streamers need to connect their console via the BridgeCast USB-C port. I used my Bridge Cast on a single PC, powered it over USB type C and also had a Ground Loop Noise Isolator connected. Hope that helps.

@@mynusten Thank you for a response. That is helpful. I have very simple needs for a work and was going to buy this for the "independent" power. I'm so glad i asked you. tyvm

@@nathanfowler3715 what mic will you been using? If you use a gain hungry mic like the Shure SM7B, you most likely need a fethead or cloud lifter.

@KienLe-fb7xg All the gear I review, I procure on my own, so I have limited resources to comparisons. The form factors are different, but this video is focused more on hyper-polling, buttons and feet.

@@mynusten bringing 2 symmetrical mouses and only 1 ergo. In the end, u like the ergo one, so let be fair u should bring atleast 2 ergos. Btw good video, the keris is a fantastic one however i like the dav3 with my big hand

@@KienLe-fb7xg I did another video focused on ergo mice and really coming to the conclusion that the mouse form factor is the key differentiator as all brands now have top-notch, underlying tech - switches, polling rates, DPI, materials. The Razer mice are solid, but a tad bit too big for me. Appreciate the comments! 👍

@@nagi859 just boarded a flight and need to look at my archives later tonight’s. It’s good and downloaded from Epidemic Sounds.

@@mynusten Thank you so much man, appreciated! :)

@@y2kprawn I’ve never tried to change single key lighting, only the effects. Let me take a look into it as I’ve learned ARMOURY Crate over the years. Agree with you wholeheartedly that the software is rough. One thing to check is plug in the keyboard to a usbc cable and plug in the dongle. Set the keyboard to wired mode and check for a firmware update. Asus updates the keyboard regularly, so this could be the problem.

@@mynusten My logitech g915 has terrible software as well. Took me ages to figure out how to set the per key rgb to be on the device as opposed to running the software every time. Yea, if you get a chance can you check crate, as I have seen reviews mention that it has this feature but I just feel like an idiot in that software.

@@y2kprawn Using Aura Creator, I was only able to change the color effects for the whole keyboard; not color per key.

@@mynusten Thanks for checking this for me. I have opened a support case and I will let you know what they say.

@s-code-b there is a "Win / Mac" button on the back of the Corsair K65 Plus. Check this to see if its set to Mac. If that doesn't work, copy-&-paste this URL for a detailed list for all of the keyboard's shortcuts. www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/gamer/keyboards/k65-plus-wireless/

@@mynusten Thank you.

@MaelleGD all routers will have a 2.4 and 5 GHz signal. Its a matter of configuring it properly. If you can let me know your router brand and model number, I can check it out for you. Also, make sure you upate the Egalto Control Center software and firmware.

@@mynusteni managed to separate both, but still it doesn’t work… I tried also with the IP address of the KL, but my computer won’t stay on the network of the KL long enough for me to configure it manually… plus, now my printer is off the WiFi… I’m desperate…

@@MaelleGD your devices like your printer and Elgaoto Keylight should connect to the 2.4 GHz signal. For your printer, make sure you go to your printer and join your router SSID. It should auto detect your available route signals that it can connect to. For your Keylight, try turning it off, wait 5 seconds and then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, do a reset and try using your phone and Elgato Control Center to set it up.

@@mynusteneverything you said I already done it like 10-15 times, and still it doesn’t work… I reconnected my printer, but it seems I cannot have the printer and the KL on the same WiFi… s****y stuff it seems. Looks like elgato isn’t ready for 2024 or current tech yet…

@@MaelleGD the Elgato Keylight is definitly finicky for sure and I have my own connection issues from time-to-time. If you are unable to get the Elgato Keylight to work, I believe Logitech may have a couple options to try. Good luck and hope you can find a way to get the Keylight to work or you land on another solution.

@user-mj5tq1dz2i appreciate the detail...still working on getting better with my scripts & videos.

@abd8322 happy to make fixes; can you let me know where I made a mistake? Appreciate it. 👍

@RPG__Dave it takes a bit to learn the game mechanics, but as you progess you'll get much better. Using your environment during combat encounters should always be considered. Good luck and I need to get back to finishing BG3! 👍

@steveperry4243 I started with the Desview prior to buying the Elgato Prompter and after using the Elgato device for months, definitely go with the Elgato prompter. The Elgato Pompter is more expensive but it is substantially better for reading scripts. The only critique I have for the Elgato Prompter is 1) its software is clunky and 2) you have to run it off a PC or Mac. It won't work via an iPad. Overall, my content creation life is much, much better with the Elgato Prompter. Hope this helps! 👍

@@mynusten Right on! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content creation life. Thanks for the great feedback. That help quite a bit actually. I'm feeling pretty confident to just go ahead and get Elgato now. However, I did discover this interesting model today - the desview T15 - comes with some nice accessories too. Elgato is a more attractive price though...cheers! th-cam.com/video/n74a-Worfqk/w-d-xo.html

@@mynusten Right on! good to hear the Elgato is helping you enjoy the process. How far back would you say you can be with the Elgato? I'm doing language education content, so will be close most of the time anyway, but will step back to the white board at times too, so was wondering if I should get something bigger than Elgato considering that....or would it still be plenty fine for that....

@@steveperry4243 My use case is always having the prompter right in-front of me. The Elgato Prompter screen is definitely larger than the DesView prompter. On the Elgato, you can also adjust the text size. If you are going to stand far away from the Elgato Prompter, it may be difficult to see from far away. One possible option would to mount the Elgato Prompter on a rollabe stand with a long USB cable and roll it to the white board with you.

@@mynusten H Mynus! Good thinking - I'm definitely going to look into the rollable stand idea. thanks very much for the tip and for your feedback on the Elgato. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
