Yeh that's what's happened to a few people. Unfortunately I cannot test longevity, and will now mention that in every video as a disclaimer. I did have registry issues with my 'T' key, but by pressing it down firmly, it was fixed. So I didn't think much of it.
Duude, I turn off my adblock when I'm watching your videos xDD Not saying you should thank me of course, just want you to know how much some random dude appreciates your work. You make such awesome, highly detailed and quality reviews, with info that only the owner would know, and not just by reading the description page on amazon, which is a gem for people like people, who research the shit out of stuff before buying. I was looking for a kb with effects like "single key reactive mode" as you said, but couldn't really google that you know. Had a big smile when saw it in your video, so thanks a lot. You have quite a few awesome keyboards on your channel, so definitely watching them before deciding. So for whatever's time, appreciate your work, and take care.
How man just want to say I'm loving your channel! I'm now addicted into keyboards with my favourite switch type being cherry mx red as it's silent and has no tactile bump. I've been watching your videos for a while and you should keep it up. I've only got 2 mechanical keyboards which are: apex m500 razer black widow x chroma te and I'm about to order one of the cooler master keyboards. Hope the channels grows!
It looks great. I've seen double-shot keycaps that don't have gaps in the letters; I hope that becomes the norm. Do you think the floating key design adds to the noise? I'd like to try clears or zealios purples.
Hey Tae, I had an idea which I wanted your input on! I love the CM Masterkeys Pro S and the Ducky One TKL Shine. I do not however love the amount of light the keycaps lets through, so I had an idea: Paint the inside of the keycaps with silver spraypaint! That way the light from the led's get reflected back to the white backplate of the keyboard and make the "aura" effekt of the keyboards more prominent. Before I try this however I wanted your thoughts on this idea! Have a great one mate, love the vids!
oo, that's interesting. I mean it makes sense, since it's commonly done with real lights. I just might have to try this out as well! Might go with chrome though. Let me know how it goes if you do it :)
Good review as usual mate. Have you seen the Drevo Excalibur 75%? It looks somewhat like a mixture of the Drevo Gramr and the Ajazz AK33 with a metal shell, I think it looks quite interesting.
Yep I saw that on their website. Besides the keycaps, it's looking pretty sweet, especially that metal bottom which the Ajazz AK33 doesn't have. I'm gonna have to check it out.
I bought this as my first mechanical keyboard. Still works perfectly 4 years later. The only issue is that the paint in front of the space bar has begun to peel. Other than that, still performs perfectly but yes, it is on the louder side when typing.
I have bought the keyboard few days ago, so here's my review for it. 1. My left shift started not to register after using it for 2days, but started to work nicely again after using it more. 2. Kinda hard to understand how the leds works, unless you're watching a video like this 3. The keyboard itself is really nice good for a budget 4. Don't forget that there might be a fee in your country (I didn't checked it before so I got 25+ extra fee) 5. Packaging very nice saftley packaged. 6. In my box there wasn't a key tool remover they might have removed them
My friend used this keyboard for two years, then gifted it to me over a year ago when I was building my PC. I am still using it and nothing beats it. Even bought a 60% with Gaterons, and I didn't like it nearly as much
I recently just got this keyboard but I find the resistance provided by the outemu red switches to be more than I would like. Would I be able to change out the springs without worrying about the leds just by popping the switches off? Havent ever tried anything liie that and would love to find out.
Thank you for your video. I wanted to understand why Drevo has Alt, Fn, Menu, Ctrl instead of Alt, Win, Fn, Ctrl? I see a lot of manufacturers are opting for the former. I also see Ducky, Code (WASD), Das, iKBC go with the latter though. What I wanted to understand was, is it possible to remap the former layout with the latter? I really like new Durgod TKL but AFAIK, you can't remap FN key. Is there any solution to this problem through Software?
Tae, there's a tkl that might interest you. Its from a company called Tecware from the Philippines, but the keyboard is made from China (as do all things these days). It has modular switches like the team wolf.. The keyboard is the Phantom 87, its on Amazon..do hope you will be able to review it.
@7:01 I'd say about 70 bucks is a sweat spot for mechanical keyboards. That's where all the clearance sale and surplus stock Cherry MX keyboards are sold. Just take Rosewill or Cooler Master keyboards as an example. You can even get it cheaper if you are lucky.
i just got the keyboardjust for trying it out, and it appears to have drevo branding on the switches instead of outemu, which was my first guess too. maybe its just on their brown switches, but thats odd.
How about the drevo tyrfing v2. Its only a little more expensive but has AWESOME per key rgb lightning and even comes with pretty nice software apparently. Could you do a review maybe?
I heard a distinct echo when bottoming out, an echo I aslo hear within my Motospeed CK104. I suspect that the plastic/aluminium combination is the culprit. It makes it so loud, especially for linear switches. On my blues, I don't really mind because that was what I went for.
Would you recommend gateron linears over any other switch brand? Really want to try linears out sometime, and I've tested the cherry reds and blacks on a tester kit and am really disappointed with the scratchiness. :/
Absolutely, like many others. For the most part Gateron's are smoother, and in my experience this completely holds true. However there are also instances of SOME batches not being as smooth. But yep, anything is smoother than Cherry MX linears tbh.
The only reason i wouldn't want to go with matias even tho i believe they can be some really good switches, is that a lot of keycaps are only cherry stem compatible and that restricts you to a lot of things. :\
Excalibur uses Cherry MX switches, right? It does look better but it's a little bit above the price i had in mind. Ty for the reply, i'll be gettin a Gramr with Red Switches. Loved your channel btw, great quality stuff you have there
This keyboard is everything that I'm looking for; something compact, minimalist and non-RGB. But the Amazon customer reviews are so negative, that i'm almost regarding to not buy it...
Hmm, looks to be longevity issues. I had no such problems, but it's only from a limited time frame. I did have the registry issue with my 'T' key which I didn't mention, because I easily fixed it by heavily pressing down the keycap, and didn't think much of it. I should now remember to mention that I cannot comment on longevity, because of obvious reasons. Thanks for bringing it up :)
I forgot to mention potential inconsistencies between batches. But I said 'relatively smooth, and they're definitely smoother than Cherry MX Red's - to be fair, most switches are. But not as smooth as Gateron's. Yeh I don't know. But these particular ones were surprisingly smooth :)

how long did you use it for? i've heard people had some problems after a short while with these
Yeh that's what's happened to a few people. Unfortunately I cannot test longevity, and will now mention that in every video as a disclaimer.
I did have registry issues with my 'T' key, but by pressing it down firmly, it was fixed. So I didn't think much of it.
what problems did people have =? i just ordered one
most the reports coming from amazon, people have some keys failing,
input lag, led dim/fail...maybe about 30% of reviews saying things like
this
ok ty
sonicase 30% is rather worrying... I hope you're exaggerating
THANK YOU for cutting between different red switch variants when doing the sound test :D It makes it so much easier to compare the sounds

The best keyboard reviewer TaeKeyboards and the best mouse reviewer Rocket Jump Ninja hahahaha. Great review as always.
Jerry Jr. Calibara spot on!
so true, to bad Tae doesn't upload so often but I enjoy every video
Couldn't agree more with this comment.
Don't forget Rhinofeed
Jerry Jr. Calibara Dont forget Chyrosan22!
You really gotta start linking the keyboards to buy in your descriptions man. Otherwise perfect videos! Very well done
How man just want to say I'm loving your channel! I'm now addicted into keyboards with my favourite switch type being cherry mx red as it's silent and has no tactile bump.

Thank you for introducing me to drevo gamr. This brand is interesting. Also available on aliexpres, i dont have ez access to amazon in my country.
where are you from?
you can buy drevo directly from them on their website.
It looks great. I've seen double-shot keycaps that don't have gaps in the letters; I hope that becomes the norm. Do you think the floating key design adds to the noise?
I'd like to try clears or zealios purples.
YES...this is what i need. You did it again Drevo...
Hey Tae, I had an idea which I wanted your input on!

Yep I saw that on their website. Besides the keycaps, it's looking pretty sweet, especially that metal bottom which the Ajazz AK33 doesn't have. I'm gonna have to check it out.
Please tell me whether to buy this keyboard?
Do you kow any wireless mechanical keyboard like the Drevo Calibur but with the top row keys?
I bought this as my first mechanical keyboard. Still works perfectly 4 years later. The only issue is that the paint in front of the space bar has begun to peel. Other than that, still performs perfectly but yes, it is on the louder side when typing.
I'm sure glad this uses a standard layout and keys. The thought of not having standard keys is just absolutely -terrifying- Tyrfing.
Just opt for a Cooler Master Quickfire XT or a Rosswill RK-9000v2 instead.
I have bought the keyboard few days ago, so here's my review for it.
1. My left shift started not to register after using it for 2days, but started to work nicely again after using it more.
2. Kinda hard to understand how the leds works, unless you're watching a video like this

5. Packaging very nice saftley packaged.
6. In my box there wasn't a key tool remover they might have removed them
Thanks for replacing the bad arrow keys during the review
My friend used this keyboard for two years, then gifted it to me over a year ago when I was building my PC. I am still using it and nothing beats it. Even bought a 60% with Gaterons, and I didn't like it nearly as much
Great vid. You da bes mech key TH-cam guy.
I recently just got this keyboard but I find the resistance provided by the outemu red switches to be more than I would like. Would I be able to change out the springs without worrying about the leds just by popping the switches off? Havent ever tried anything liie that and would love to find out.

Is there any solution to this problem through Software?
Will through-hole LEDs work with an SMD compatible switch? Apologies for the possibly obvious question; I'm new to the whole "mech-keyboards" thing.
I hope you can review the Drevo Blademaster currently on Kickstarter. It looks like Drevo will send sample keyboards to reviewers in May.
Tae, there's a tkl that might interest you. Its from a company called Tecware from the Philippines, but the keyboard is made from China (as do all things these days). It has modular switches like the team wolf.. The keyboard is the Phantom 87, its on Amazon..do hope you will be able to review it.
@7:01 I'd say about 70 bucks is a sweat spot for mechanical keyboards. That's where all the clearance sale and surplus stock Cherry MX keyboards are sold. Just take Rosewill or Cooler Master keyboards as an example. You can even get it cheaper if you are lucky.
I got this keyboard today, but the software doesn't recognize it. Any help?
Are the switches soldered(/welded) to the board?
i just got the keyboardjust for trying it out, and it appears to have drevo branding on the switches instead of outemu, which was my first guess too. maybe its just on their brown switches, but thats odd.
is there a keyboard almost exactly like this in cherry blues? like i'mm in love with blues :3 60-75$ max
How about the drevo tyrfing v2. Its only a little more expensive but has AWESOME per key rgb lightning and even comes with pretty nice software apparently. Could you do a review maybe?
Can you try out the Tesoro excalibur spectrum? It has Kailh swtiches and it's about 80 usd on amazon right now.
any other budget oriented red switch keyboards?
my a button doesnt seem to work at times so doesnt really help when im gaming,
I had to press it twice for the a in "gaming"
I heard a distinct echo when bottoming out, an echo I aslo hear within my Motospeed CK104. I suspect that the plastic/aluminium combination is the culprit. It makes it so loud, especially for linear switches. On my blues, I don't really mind because that was what I went for.
What kind of key caps would I buy if I want different ones?
can you spray paint or use stickers to the base to decorate it?
Hey Tae, I'm sure you've reviewed quite a few budget mech keyboards by now, which one would you rate as the best of the bunch/mostly recommend?
It's hard to say because everyone's needs differ. But I think the Magicforce 68 goes alright :)
Thank you for your insight bud, much appreciated
Would you recommend gateron linears over any other switch brand? Really want to try linears out sometime, and I've tested the cherry reds and blacks on a tester kit and am really disappointed with the scratchiness. :/
Absolutely, like many others. For the most part Gateron's are smoother, and in my experience this completely holds true. However there are also instances of SOME batches not being as smooth.
But yep, anything is smoother than Cherry MX linears tbh.
Yeh for stock switches Matias are smoooth. I've got a bag of Matias switches, so I'm hoping to do a Matias build soon.
The only reason i wouldn't want to go with matias even tho i believe they can be some really good switches, is that a lot of keycaps are only cherry stem compatible and that restricts you to a lot of things. :\
Do you think dampeners would help with the loud key slamming noise?
Johnathan Bloch you can get o rings that reduce the sound of the keys "bottoming out" against the housing.
Which is the best between this one and the ozone strike battle?
I have this keyboard, gotta say that the Brown Switches sound really loud to me, you have to be aware of that before buying it.
You should do an unboxing and review on the Tomoko MMC O23 mechanical keyboard
hi!
what do you think
this keyboard is suitable for playing the rhythm of the game (osu!)?
Nero was looking for that too lol
Between Tyrfing and Gramr, wich one is better in terms of overall quality? both with Red Switches
I think the Gramr is a bit better. Although I am checking out the Drevo Excalibur, which is like the Gramr but metal :)
Excalibur uses Cherry MX switches, right? It does look better but it's a little bit above the price i had in mind. Ty for the reply, i'll be gettin a Gramr with Red Switches. Loved your channel btw, great quality stuff you have there
Yep, Cherry MX. No problem man, the Gramr will serve you well. Thanks for the kind words :)
nice work dude
Your stuff is sick, but I would suggest using a more bold, simple font for a cleaner look on your videos
Thanks :)
And yeh, I'm just using it because I've been using for ages. I've been meaning to change since it will help with readability as well.
please do razer ornata. imho a fantastic click experience. i prefere over any logitech/razer purely mechanical switches
Nice video!
Mine didn't come with Outemu Reds, mine has Drevo's own brand Reds.
How come in the link, the keyboard is RGB.
and what is the best budget keyboard for gaming?:)
Have you tried out a Planck or Zealio switches?
Wish I could try out an Planck, but they seem pretty busy. I'll be featuring Zealio switches soon on a 60% build :)
why does it have terrible reviews on amazon?
your recommends this keyboard?
Try out the Tyrfing V2 (It's got RGB lighting)
Wish there were more keyboards with rain effect :(
How comfortable is it for gaming?
is the space bar balanced?
reminds me of the easterntimes/victsing l500 that i bought to test it out. might get this one aswell with brown switches just to test it. :D
Gramr 84 or this keyboard?
can you get this from australia?
I dont understand why people hate the sound of blue switches since everyone i met has thought the sound is very satisfying.
This or the Gramr from Drevo with brown switches?
I prefer Gramr because of the more compact layout. Gramr is probably more heavy as well.
What keyboard is that at 2:25?
My painted Mistel Barroco :)
is this similar to the redragon?
What is the best wireless keyboard keyboard? This goes for anyone
You should look into the anne pro and varmillo keyboards. They're pretty great keyboards!
tehdeadmouse thanks
tehdeadmouse oh, I should have mentioned, it can't be blue tooth, it has to have the USB receiver
can't you just buy a small bluetooth dongle like this one www.amazon.com/Plugable-Bluetooth-Adapter-Raspberry-Compatible/dp/B009ZIILLI
Just use a bluetooth dongle, spoiled brat.
This keyboard is everything that I'm looking for; something compact, minimalist and non-RGB. But the Amazon customer reviews are so negative, that i'm almost regarding to not buy it...
Hmm, looks to be longevity issues. I had no such problems, but it's only from a limited time frame.

I should now remember to mention that I cannot comment on longevity, because of obvious reasons.
Thanks for bringing it up :)
wish there's a white version
I Bought this keyboard and put blank PBT Keycaps on and it looks SICK!
White with rgb lighting and i'll fall in love instantly
Peter. Drevo tyrfing v2
Damn, why did I buy the Kumara rgb, I hate blues and I love reds :;(
you should review IKBC poker mini 60% keyboard
No, it is useless and overpriced.
Is it loud?
hello, your new subscriber!
I found this next a dumpster. I bought it back home And it works.
u fr?
PLease review Tecware Phantom.
is this good for osu?
Nice!
4:14 for sound test
2:00 4cm and 3cm you mean
The outemu red sound abit clicky.
Shawn that's because he is bottoming out the keys when typing
That's no click. That's a scratch.
Its actually the sound when the key comes back up and returns to normal position
It’s like a crappier, cheaper, alloy fps.
r u pilipino?
Very good and comprensible rewiew, for me Russian) Like
TayKKeyboards
since when did outemu linears become smooth lol, they're the worst linear switches I've ever tried.
I forgot to mention potential inconsistencies between batches. But I said 'relatively smooth, and they're definitely smoother than Cherry MX Red's - to be fair, most switches are. But not as smooth as Gateron's.
Yeh I don't know. But these particular ones were surprisingly smooth :)
Drevo > Redragon & any other Cheap Brand
:D
PLEASE GET NEW MUSIC.
yes it's a godd song but it's getting boring after 235762347 times.
