I've always been skeptical of keyboard brands I've never heard of and been looking for a tenkeyless mech keyboard. I wouldn't have to worry about keylogging with this brand do I?
I just recently got mine with blues, though, originally I wanted browns but my uncle sent me the wrong one. And I didn't expect to like it so much. Though it feels a lot bigger compared to my magicforce. Still a solid keyboard for the price
@@nytalix642 i have a magicforce 68 also gateron browns xD i've replaced some of my keys on my phantom with gateron clears, i just used some nail file to file the pins to make it a bit thinner.
@@youngurbangod1156 yes dude hotswappable, kapag outemu ang switches na ipapalit mo, wala ng modifications nagagawin sa metal pins ng switch. Kapag di outemu mejo papapayatin mo pa ng konti yung pin para mag fit dun sa butas nya
The elite version seems to be another great options for those who look forward to swap their switches in the future, as the elite have gateron/kailh hotswap board. After some searching i found that outemu hotswap board pretty much only accept outemu switches, you need to do a bit of modification on other switches to make it fit into outemu board because of the smaller hole for the pins.
@@MrGamelover23 for the tactile i can confirm its better than gateron brown. And yes i didnt know about akko cs b4 so. Also gazzew boba, since gazzew is like the premium outemu brand
Had the Razer Black widow, Corsair k70 and Razer X chroma Mercury - Got this Keyboard for work and its as good if not better than the other keyboards at half the price. Seriously good value
Jun might be too late if you already replaced your blackwidow. If you ever changed your mind about your blackwidow try changing the switches and it should reglorify the keyboard itself
I modded mine after owning for a couple years. Feels so much better! Pro tip for people looking to swap switches, the Akko CS switches fit the Outemu sockets and make for a pretty good budget build! In all (including the cost of the keyboard) I spent $100 and it's much better than a prebuilt
@@gabrielcaesar4684 Corsair and other big-name gaming branded keyboards are all overpriced. They'd have you think that you're getting overall better quality from them, but the moment you hold one of these budget mechs, you'll realize that it doesn't cost much at all to get the same level of build quality, and how much you're really just paying for the brand name. Pretty much all budget mechs these days also come with double shot keycaps where the lettering will never fade, instead of the cheap shit lasered caps found on mainstream keyboards where the lettering will wear away from use. The only features you'd be missing out from Corsair is with the software customization, but the built-in RGB functions on these budget mechanicals cover all the bases just fine. Cherry MX switches are also just marketing hype at this point because the Chinese clone manufacturers have caught up and are far more innovative than Cherry these days. Enthusiast communities have all basically accepted that certain clones are just as legit as Cherries. Outemus, I'd say, are pretty much completely identical to Cherries, and many Outemu keyboards (like the Tecware) have hot-swappable switches that let you mix-and-match other Outemu switches, while Cherry have absolutely no response to this trend.
OMADNath people on amazon were saying the keys (Especially the space bar) were mushy and broke often. Was just wondering if they were doing something wrong
I had this keyboard about a month ago , is super durable and good lighting , also it has a free transparent keyboard cover if you want to reuse it. The keycaps is also comfy. Is affordable and has quality. So to say , for a budget keyboard , 10/10
I just got this keyboard today and this keyboard is absolutely amazing for the price, it's super sturdy keys have great strength and sound and very easy software, I don't think you could ever find a better keyboard than this.
DECSTAR I've been using it for about a month and it still is still great super easy to clean and no keys have any stickyness or any other things that could go wrong and the software works perfect yet I rarely use it. U should definitely buy this keyboard.
its great to see Tecware has expanded their market into Aussie... they provide really great budget products... i personally own this keyboard for a year and a half now and the Tecware Nexus M casing... you should probably do more review of their products..
Best budget rgb keyboard. Also very customizable and has a very solid feel. You can change the switches and you get a free keycap puller which is mounted on the bottom and switch puller. Tecware is also a company from the Philippines. They make gaming mice/mouse as well as pc cases. Thanks for this TaeKeyboards! Awesome video
This is a great review. I just got mine last week and have been using it since! FREAKING LOVE THIS THING, got it for even cheaper on a sale for about 65$ AUD on amazon with the red switches, the packaging looked amazing, included tools and switches were great except one of the pins on a switch was bent (fixed it by bending it slowly back into place with just my fingers), everyone complained about the software but I honestly didn't have any problem with it and actually kind of like the UI, it looked very simple and I knew exactly how to use it straight away. My only problem is the keys wiggle around a little, probably because the switches don't have a square shape to keep the keys steady, that's my main problem but I could get by perfectly fine. People also complained about the 'pinging' sound that would occur when a key was pushed, I had no clue what that would sound like but I quickly figured it out when I picked the keyboard up and tried to use it, I couldn't notice anything if the keyboard was sitting flat without the risers. It took maybe 1 week to get used to after switching from a cheap membrane keyboard. It does catch a bit of dust in between keys but it's really easy to get out with a soft brush. Going to recommend it to my friend who has a gaming laptop. Definitely worth the price, seems like it's going to last at least a year before breaking on me but I'm going to take care of it very well. Update: forgot to mention that the keys wiggle a LOT, it bothers me but I'm getting a little used to it. Also my 'F' key isn't working properly, might already have to use a new switch but I'm still working on it.
@@CakeOfSomething Hi! Nope, keys went back to working, didn't even have to replace the switch. I went to replace them but I couldn't figure out how, the swtiches were VERY difficult to take out so I didn't bother. I guess that there was just some dust or something because after using it more of the keys often it works perfectly. The key wobble doesn't bother me anymore and I still love the sound from it! 10/10 value for money.
I just got this and was surprised to see that they lubed up the stabs resulting in a much more quieter keyboard. I then put o rings into mine to really make it extra quiet
Hey I just commented about this keyboard in the last vid. Absolutely amazing entry level mech, I got pbt keycaps on mine and it has exceeded my expectations. Although I did order a Ducky One 2 Mini, as I think I’m ready to splurge more on a board :D
@@lookitznate900 with no delay mine should be here on friday. next week, also what switch and did you replace any keycaps that didnt come in the box? IE the spacebar etc
have that keyboard, bought it at a local shop in West Malaysia and I have to say it is quite good for the price. Got the brown switch white LED variant.
Good job on actually testing to see if the keys were swappable between manufacturers. Every other review for this keyboard that I have seen has just kind of assumed that they are. Great review. It sold me on purchasing this product, which I received in the mail yesterday and I'm thoroughly enjoying.
I’ve had this for a long time, definitely very good! Lasts long, get itttttt You might think the lights aren’t bright, but they are. Amazing for the price
those 2 light indicators(at the right of the Enter key) are for Capslock(upper) and the bottom one if you already max out the light settings for the RGB(lowest or highest value possible) and it will still lit if you press Fn+Win key (will make Win Key locked)
I managed to fit gateron clear keys because this keyboard felt too hard for me even as red they're actually 55g keys, i used a nail clip to trim one pin and then melted a hole for the smd led and they fit flush and nice. Ive only done it for 5 gaming keys, itll be a shore for all of them
Just bought this keyboard and man, this keyboard is amazing!! i have always used membrane and finally using mechanical blows me away! thanks for the professional vid!
@@INeatFreak it's great, I did the clip and lube mod on the stabs, bandaid mod, and changed the key caps. It sounds so much better and I'm still loving it
I just got this keyboard today from Amazon and it's really really awesome. Great feel both typing and overall how it feels just to hold it or maneuver it on my desk, love the additional keycap/switch pullers included, and the amount of effects you can do is awesome!
I've been using cherry mx brown switch for almost 6 years, and the first time i tried outemu browns i immediately felt the smoothness on it, no more scratchy feel from cherry switch. and i now prefer to use outemu brown as my daily driver.
i have this exact keyboard and use a program called whatpulse that records how many keys you have clicked. so far this year alone i have done over 12 ,000,000 key strokes on this sucker and its just been a great over all balanced keyboard. 10/10 would recommend!
Finally you reviewed it! I myself have been using it for a while now (Outemu Blues) and i got to say it is one of the best budget mechanical keyboards out there, with the simple design and per key RGB on it. And it's also popular here in Malaysia!
BigSeks 25$ for keycaps? I might as well just buy another keyboard. I ordered the keyboard and it should come tomorrow so I think I’ll just get used to the font.
i got this keyboard recently and have been having lots of problems like some keys mostly the ones you use the most just not working if you have this problem just take of the keycap and just blow on the switch ik this sounds weird but it works for me and it took a while for me to figure it out. hope this helps if you do get this problem
A fine budget board. Disappointing to see you cruelly mistreating and crippling innocent box switches again for the second video in a row. I like to imagine those poor creatures get to live the rest of their lives in a care facility by the beach. You monster!
Really nice budget board, shame that it won't fit other switches other than outemus as I would've loved to use Kailh BOXs if I had one of these. Happy New Year btw.
Hi, I'm wondering if Box Jade switches fit in the Tecware phantom 87 keyboards. I know that this will be a tight fit but do you think it is still possible? some people say that they don't fit but some people like RandomFrankP fitted a box pink switch in.
Outemu Browns are amazing. When it comes to Outemu, Browns are best. Don't compare these to Cherry. They're superior to Cherry imo. The Blues however leave a bit to be desired. Every brand switch has its star, I feel the Outemu Browns just shine.
As someone who bought this keyboard months ago in 2022, by far the best budget keyboard you can get. Not only its hot swappable (it cant support cherry but if you want to change it, akko switches are amazing for this board), it also have foams inside the keyboard to reduce hollowness which expensive brand doesnt even have usually. The rgb is also so good. Even tecware newest stuff like b68 or tecware phantom+ elite can go toe to toe w mid range custom keyboards but for a cheaper price. Ppl rlly be sleeping in tecware and i hope ppl see how amazing this brand is
@@supernova7057 nice! should i buy it? i have about 160 dollars right now and and im thinking whether i should buy this or something more expensive. im currently using a corsair k55 but i want a mechanical keyboard, preferably tkl so i can have more space
I personly got this keyboard about 2 days ago and I was very surprised with the great build quality and how the overall keyboard felt, This is by far one of the best budget keyboards and should really get it, in my opinion, it should be worth more than $50, so those of you who are looking of a budget keyboard this keyboard is probably one of the best budget keyboards out there right now.
Wow, this looks exactly like my Krom Kernel TKL everything apart from the keycaps and the color of the backplate is exactly the same. I guess these companies are just rebranding something made by some other chinese company. It is a very good keyboard for the price tho, highly recommended.
I LOVE the acoustics and size of this board. Put some custom caps on them and it looks like a dream. The only downside for me is that I’m a heavy gamer and the switches (outemu red) felt a bit slow to rise back up after being pressed down. I love this keyboard but it’s unacceptable to me for fps games and especially osu. Thinking about getting some box white switches to put in~~
i debating between this and k65, would you say to get this? (got downsized on my desk and need room for my left handed gaming keyboard) im currently sporting a razer ornata
review for Akko AKC87 Camo Classic :), btw i think for a budget mechanical keyboard that has a hot swappable switch feature and RGB, you can't ask for more plus that phantom branding on the edge is a smart choice for them
Well let me tell you, I think I've found the Holy Grail of budget mechanical keyboards. Don't tell anybody though! On Amazon right now, look for "Pawhits RGB mechanical keyboard" and you will find, for no more than TWENTY DOLLARS, yes I am serious, an RGB mechanical keyboard that can be bought full size or tenkeyless, with actual RGB, not "rainbow" (the RGB is not as smooth as this though, but nonetheless), and get this: it also has hotswappable switches. You might want to swap the ones that come with it, they're "Jixian" Blues, so I can't vouch for them. No problems so far though. Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen. TWENTY DOLLARS. And it's in stock, too. I don't understand how though.
@@TaeKeyboards I know, right? I bought the thing half expecting it to be false advertising. It wasn't. There's no excuse for using a 10 dollar Logitech membrane keyboard anymore when you can get this for 20!
I bought this keyboard because of this review. One of the best purchase I have this year. For the price, this keyboard is bang for the buck. Highly recommended.
@@CakeOfSomething As I said, I'm not a keyboard expert so I can't tell if something is feeling a tiny bit weaker or whatever but for me it's still the same.
Just bought the Tecware Phantom Elite with the Kailh Box Browns a few days ago, I must say for my first mechanical keyboard they feel and sound absolutely awesome :D

Hmm, that's weird. My outemu brown magicforce was insanely scratchy. I guess I got a bad batch.
@@landon1stbase both are very mushy,go with kahil or gateron
Wait until factory lubes dried out. It got really scratchy after few months
i have this exact keyboard and use a program called whatpulse that records how many keys you have clicked. so far this year alone i have done over 12 ,000,000 key strokes on this sucker and its just been a great over all balanced keyboard. 10/10 would recommend!
Hot swappable keyboard for only 50$ YES PLEASE.
all the switches are hot swappable right? he said "some" so im having some doubts
@@ahmadsalahudin2982 I own one, all keys are hot swappable
@@wevibin9219 can you put other switch brands?like cherry etc
@@raduneagu797 No, only outemu switches unfortunately
@@raduneagu797 if you get the elite, gateron switches are compatible
thanks so much ive been thinking about this keyboard for a while and i think im going to get it. defenitely deserves a like
Finally you reviewed it! I myself have been using it for a while now (Outemu Blues) and i got to say it is one of the best budget mechanical keyboards out there, with the simple design and per key RGB on it. And it's also popular here in Malaysia!
BEST. KEYBOARD. EVER!!!! I got this keyboard today and it's amazing! Not loud at all and pretty heavy. 100% recommended.
still holding up?
I never understood people not getting full size keyboard until I tried TKL.
I just got this keyboard! seems really great so far.
Is it still working
The keyboard looks great! I wish the font wasn’t so bulky though.
if you dont like the font you could get some hyperx doubleshot keycaps. They are only $25 US
BigSeks 25$ for keycaps? I might as well just buy another keyboard. I ordered the keyboard and it should come tomorrow so I think I’ll just get used to the font.
@@dump1ing.2005. key caps ain't cheap
I have been looking for a review on this keyboard for sooooooooooooo long
great review ! thank you it really helped
Thank you for such a great review. Every minute was so informative. You've convinced me, so I just placed an order.
i got this keyboard recently and have been having lots of problems like some keys mostly the ones you use the most just not working if you have this problem just take of the keycap and just blow on the switch ik this sounds weird but it works for me and it took a while for me to figure it out. hope this helps if you do get this problem
A fine budget board.
Disappointing to see you cruelly mistreating and crippling innocent box switches again for the second video in a row. I like to imagine those poor creatures get to live the rest of their lives in a care facility by the beach. You monster!
Cap busters had it coming!
This just made the rest of my night lmao!!
budget =/ value. This is the best value keyboard hands down. love it!
just bought mine with red switches and it feels amazing. best budget keyboard for me
My question: If I bought this and setup macros on my 1st pc then plugged it in to my other pc will I need to setup the macros again ?
Yes, the first pc would know the keyboard macros but if the other pc does not have the program, you would have to set up the macros then, so yes.
just ordered from amazon, im so exited
Really nice budget board, shame that it won't fit other switches other than outemus as I would've loved to use Kailh BOXs if I had one of these.
Happy New Year btw.
You could also try filing the switch.
I've done that to mine and it fits perfectly
phantom elite can..kailh or gateron...or you can mix them as you want
@@hideru_osu what do you mean "filing the switch"?
@@НиколаЂурђевић like the metal part that contacts with the pcb. I cut it a little to make fit it well
Hi, I'm wondering if Box Jade switches fit in the Tecware phantom 87 keyboards. I know that this will be a tight fit but do you think it is still possible? some people say that they don't fit but some people like RandomFrankP fitted a box pink switch in.
Outemu Browns are amazing. When it comes to Outemu, Browns are best. Don't compare these to Cherry. They're superior to Cherry imo. The Blues however leave a bit to be desired. Every brand switch has its star, I feel the Outemu Browns just shine.
So Damn true,love me browns.
Brown switches are still noisier compared to Red?
As someone who bought this keyboard months ago in 2022, by far the best budget keyboard you can get. Not only its hot swappable (it cant support cherry but if you want to change it, akko switches are amazing for this board), it also have foams inside the keyboard to reduce hollowness which expensive brand doesnt even have usually. The rgb is also so good.
Even tecware newest stuff like b68 or tecware phantom+ elite can go toe to toe w mid range custom keyboards but for a cheaper price. Ppl rlly be sleeping in tecware and i hope ppl see how amazing this brand is
I recently got one of these on sale for 34 USD this Christmas ^-^, one of the best deals I got in 2018 :D
does it sttill work?
@@rok9367 yup c:
@@supernova7057 Wow! thanks for the reply, do you usually use the keyboard everyday for gaming or typing? also what switches did you get?
@@rok9367 I used it for everyday as well as fps gaming c: I got the brown switches
@@supernova7057 nice! should i buy it? i have about 160 dollars right now and and im thinking whether i should buy this or something more expensive. im currently using a corsair k55 but i want a mechanical keyboard, preferably tkl so i can have more space
I personly got this keyboard about 2 days ago and I was very surprised with the great build quality and how the overall keyboard felt, This is by far one of the best budget keyboards and should really get it, in my opinion, it should be worth more than $50, so those of you who are looking of a budget keyboard this keyboard is probably one of the best budget keyboards out there right now.
I live in Aus and these are out of stock on mwave again, however I see them in stock on Amazon. Are they legit on amazon because I really want one.
Yes
I bought it today! Should be arriving next week!
Wow, this looks exactly like my Krom Kernel TKL everything apart from the keycaps and the color of the backplate is exactly the same. I guess these companies are just rebranding something made by some other chinese company. It is a very good keyboard for the price tho, highly recommended.
It's called an OEM, common practice, some other manufacturer provides the products and they just give branding and warranty etc
I like the RGB lighting!
I LOVE the acoustics and size of this board. Put some custom caps on them and it looks like a dream.
The only downside for me is that I’m a heavy gamer and the switches (outemu red) felt a bit slow to rise back up after being pressed down. I love this keyboard but it’s unacceptable to me for fps games and especially osu. Thinking about getting some box white switches to put in~~
I have the reds on this keyboard highly disagree. Great for gaming.
Very good review, definitely worth the wait!
If only I saw this video before I purchased my K65 Cherry MX Red
i debating between this and k65, would you say to get this? (got downsized on my desk and need room for my left handed gaming keyboard) im currently sporting a razer ornata
Your video was very helpful on how to get my keyboard colors back since my kitten turned off my colored keyboard to a black keyboard.
review for Akko AKC87 Camo Classic :), btw i think for a budget mechanical keyboard that has a hot swappable switch feature and RGB, you can't ask for more plus that phantom branding on the edge is a smart choice for them
I love ur videos they are so chill and calm also very cool keyboard,
What microphone are u using there mate👍🏻
Well let me tell you, I think I've found the Holy Grail of budget mechanical keyboards. Don't tell anybody though! On Amazon right now, look for "Pawhits RGB mechanical keyboard" and you will find, for no more than TWENTY DOLLARS, yes I am serious, an RGB mechanical keyboard that can be bought full size or tenkeyless, with actual RGB, not "rainbow" (the RGB is not as smooth as this though, but nonetheless), and get this: it also has hotswappable switches. You might want to swap the ones that come with it, they're "Jixian" Blues, so I can't vouch for them. No problems so far though. Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen. TWENTY DOLLARS. And it's in stock, too. I don't understand how though.
What a time to be alive!
@@TaeKeyboards I know, right? I bought the thing half expecting it to be false advertising. It wasn't. There's no excuse for using a 10 dollar Logitech membrane keyboard anymore when you can get this for 20!
I bought this keyboard because of this review. One of the best purchase I have this year. For the price, this keyboard is bang for the buck. Highly recommended.
Can we make a Static Colour for the keyboard? (Example : Blue)
Yes, there is software you can customize it any way you like
I purchased this keyboard a week ago and although I havent had experience with great keyboards, this one is amazing and has nice RGB effects.
@@CakeOfSomething As I said, I'm not a keyboard expert so I can't tell if something is feeling a tiny bit weaker or whatever but for me it's still the same.
Maybe a random question but is the keyboard still working fine or is there any problems you encountered?
I like browns and red but my sister has blues and I can hear them when I’m downstairs
Nice review! I got the Elite version which has Gateron Yellows, surprised to find that there is sound dampening foam inside. Definitely worth my money
In my opinion brown switch is the way to go
I literally just got it and I'm loving it. light keys, light keyboard, smooth lighting and I also like its sound
What switches you get? I got browns on mine.
@@bigd2829 red
@@chiefscar7410 nice, would you say browns or reds are a huge upgrade from membrane? I currently have a Corsair k55.
@@bigd2829 I definitely like the click sound of the red ones, browns or membranes are too dull for me
@@chiefscar7410 weird, I heard reds are the most dull, maybe your using blues since you hear a click sound?
someone knows keycaps that are fitting on this keyboard ?
It has a standard switch stem so any keycap that fits cherry stems should fit.
Hey Tae I’m lovin the content. Just wondering if you’ve covered any Rama works keyboards? Are they worth it? Thanks in advance.
I was just wondering about getting this keyboard lmao
Where can i get some replacement brown switches for this keyboard(US), a few of my keys are acting up.
I got this keyboard almost a year ago. It's still fantastic. If you've got any questions, go for it and ask me, I'll try to reply:)
how do you activate recorded macro?
1. Which switch do you have? 2. And is it heavy to press? 3. Is it good for typing and competitive gaming
@@thewhat9921 um install the application and just follow the steps
1. Blues 2. Not too heavy 3. Comfortable for typing, go for reds if competitive
Nicholas Tang thank you homie 💯
Finally I decided to buy this keyboard today instead of Spectre Pro. Thanks for the review!
I was gonna buy this keyboard for a while now but it always out of stock soo....
Just bought the Tecware Phantom Elite with the Kailh Box Browns a few days ago, I must say for my first mechanical keyboard they feel and sound absolutely awesome :D
