I bought this keyboard a couple months ago. Important notes,
Their reviews on their site are controlled. I submitted a review voicing my frustrations with their customer service and they won't list it. It goes through a "screening process" before it shows up. So while I like the keyboard, I have some problems with how they treated me as a customer and their ethics.
Their responses to me were slow and lacking any meaningful information. The keyboard is great, but the purchasing experience was so poor I couldn't recommend it to anyone.
my post on their subreddit complaining about them never updating my order, despite them asking me if I wanted to change from reds to browns, and never giving me a shipping notification got hidden
Hope LTT sees this stuff and pins one of the comments about how bad their customer service and all is. This is important information if your buying this.
@@T15A20 they won't, it's sponsored
@@FleaOnMyWiener They've addressed issues before even though the video is sponsored. Like when Raid Shadow Legends sponsored one video.
I think I lucked out. My experience with them was really positive lol I didn't even know they had complaints untill I started seeing people's stories on this video
It feels wrong to cover this keyboard without Taran’s opinion
Indeed
Yes
this is a sponsor, not a review
I don't think this keyboard is catering to the enthusiast crowd anyway.
@@mbahmarijan789 youre missing the point lmao tarron is literally the macro king, review or not we need his opinion on this
My guess for the round screen on the "dock" being so vibrant compared to the others, is that it looks suspiciously like a smartwatch screen
I bet oled dock and lcd keys.
Its indeed a smart watch screen
I have this keybaord. The buttons are using a single lcd screen that displays all of them then the keys have a little arm that sticks up and hits a button. The dock has what I belive is similar to a screen of a smart watch like you said
They steal smart watches to put into their keyboards... which make them special and unique
it looks exactly like my old Fossil Q Wanderer
2:57 oh Linus
1st reply
linus just had to get that stupid mx brown in there
just ordered browns for my mode 65 :D
i was waiting to see you here, my friend XD
Waiting for people active in r/MechanicalKeyboard to fill this reply section
Taran probably doesn't approve: That's a high cost per additional macro key.
they should get taran to review this board.
that is basically a scam, if they tout reviews but screen them, even it lots of smaller companies might do this these days its still a scam. and linux should seriously reconsider advertising for this company
@@mirrorking2 He got the money already and a new house.... He sold his soul a loooooong time ago.
@@mirrorking2 this company is definitely not the best. I bought this keyboard in December. Didn't get here til April. Communication is awful
One thing to note: their software isn't available for Linux or Mac, so the keyboard is kinda only compatible with Windows (except for just typing I guess)
What a bummer
I believe the onboard storage can hold _some_ things (not the display icons, though). Assuming you're willing to configure in windows then switch to Linux/Mac.
Suggest it on ORGB and it'll be supported surely :) (rgb wise)
Guess which Linux daily driver dude found out the hard way? Yes, I did - trust me, you won't enjoy this board in Linux. Their return & refund process works fine, even here in communist Europe.
Their software also takes up 300MB of memory (all the time).
I pre-ordered the Max Version of this Keyboard back in 2020 and was told all the way up until Feb 2021 that my order would be shipped EVENTUALLY. I sent about 3 separate emails across the time span to see any updates on my keyboard but they kept giving me the same reason, COVID and that eventually it will ship. It was about $320 for my config iirc with Speed Silvers and double shot caps, and I gave up on them after seeing them constantly post on social media about random partners receiving the keyboard while not honoring the initial preorders me and a lot of other people made. Also found it was way cheaper to get a good TKL and a stream deck for less than the price of the one keyboard, I really did want it but at least I saved some money in the end by cancelling it. I would love to see this idea from Corsair with a Stream Deck attachment to the keyboard that replaces the typical numbpad buttons with the chiclet streamdeck screen buttons but still have the option to keep numbers on the pad if you arent using it for a stream deck at the moment.
Same. I really did want this keyboard too. I ordered this keyboard in October 2020 and just finally got the refund for not ever getting my order due to "not having cherry key switches". Great customer service on my end just wish they didn't get so popular that I would have to wait for years. They should have called it Pre-order then I'd have a good expectation
Likewise, I ordered the keyboard back in December 2020 and only got it mid-August. I believe it only eventually turned up because I kept chasing them about it. Apparently they switched to a new system for handling their orders and had a problem where loads of there old orders weren't moved to the new system.
Yep. But I just waited it out and got it months ago. Worth the wait, but not thier BS.
oh duuuuuuuuudeeee you clearly have not experienced custom keyboards yet.
0:17 I almost forgot about that keyboard 😭 I wanted it so bad when I was a kid, LCD screen on every key obviously that's the future! (2005 me)
Weird how he mentions Logitech but not razer
Optimus Maximus OLED Keyboard, launch in 2007, but i remember read in a magazine or blog circa 2005! What a time. th-cam.com/video/qj7GYU-wedo/w-d-xo.html
I had it and it was so nice. These may be my new keyboard lol
I always just use Logitech gaming keyboards - with the included Macros. I wasn't very happy though when they reduced the number of macro keys from 18 to 6 though. I can get by with 12, but 18 is best.
@@caddilacbob Isn't the Razer one was an April Fool's joke ?
Ordered one of these keyboards for my son last November. It finally was delivered last week. Took 10 months. Horrible customer service communication. It is a high quality product when it finally showed up, but be prepared for a horrible buying experience. I pray I never need to contact support for an issue.
Good to know.
I bought mine also in November last year and it arrived end of March this year.
But the delivery time is highly dependent on the layout you choose.
That’s odd. I ordered mine in December, and it arrived exactly two months later in February.
I can also confirm the customer service part. I messaged them about a magnet that wasn't working on the left side of the keyboard for the wrist rest and they never responded after two emails.
Ordered mine end of October. Delivery promised end of November. Arrived suddenly in May. No shipping or delivery notification. Communication from the company very bad. Otherwise happy with the product.
$270 for the max
$150 for the core
$130 for the barebones
You're welcome.
130 for base and literally more than double for MAX for a numpad and a dial
Why not get 2 base boards and reprogram every single key on one to a macro, you'll also save 10 bucks lmao
@@divyanshusingh363 mini stream deck, dial and screen
@@divyanshusingh363 I don't think it's that bad considering anyone using those keys could make that money back in a day. It also compliments the stream deck quite well. I would imagine Tarran approves and will be keeping that sample board to add to his keyboard macro army
That's a fair bit less than I expected.
Yikes
I've had this keyboard for a couple months now and I love it! Highly recommend to anyone thinking about it
Me: *Super excited over a solid mechanical keyboard with lots of functionality*
Also me: *Expectation dropped from 100 to 1 when hearing about the customer service*
Seriously tho most people say it's a good keyboard so if you weren't in a rush, like.. at all, go for it i suppose.
I would define their customer service as "slow but reliable" based on my experience with them. I think the problem for them was that they got overwhelmed with way more board sales than they expected along with issues with Covid.
@@AbominationalFailure And yet here they are pushing for more sales...
@@AbominationalFailure Yea that sounds sort of like that. What i've heard is that they're a small company, add covid to the mix and well problems in many ways i suppose.
@@zackzeed I ordered mine around two months ago and it came within two weeks so it might be getting better with deliveries
Also I didn't know about the issues people were having with delivery
@@mopilok Well if the product lives up to the comments/reviews then i will also order one this month, i've been looking for a reliable and somewhat nodular keyboard for a while now ^^
The amount of customer service horror stories in the comments says about everything I want to know about this keyboard.
like, the keyboard itself is very good. using one right now, myself. but god does so much of the criticism and issue complaints get met with "please don't be mad, we're just a small company :'("
like, my experience was
> order keyboard with cherry reds
>later they reach out and ask if I want to change to browns since they don't have an eta one when they'll get reds in and can ship one with browns way sooner
>say yes because the thing is hotswap anyway, I like browns, I'll get some reds myself later.
>couple weeks to a month pass with no shipping notification
>ask them what happened
>get told basically "oh oopsie, we'll be shipping yours early next week"
>no shipping notification that week
>2 weeks after that and still no notification
>thing shows up the day after I ask them again
>it's got red switches instead of the browns they asked me if I wanted to change to
so, they never gave me a shipping notification (dunno if that's on them or whoever they shipped it with) and never actually updated my order, despite them having been the ones to ask me about it in the first place.
Onto a good mech like SteelSeries Apex Pro or Wooting two HE?
@@ikagun I agree with your frustrations but picture being a small company bringing out a pretty unique keyboard product during a pandemic. I might be talking out of my ass but I can't picture them not having supply issues as well. I was part of the kickstarter so I signed up for not knowing when I'd get mine. It was worth the wait imo. If my keyboard does fuck up tho, I do not expect their customer service to be that great lol.
I got a messed up screen but got a replacement shipped like 5 months later
@@ikagun So what I'm hearing is that you should get a Wooting board. Their software is awesome from what I've heard. And if ur buying from a small company at least get something that u can't get anywhere else like Lekker analog switches. That way if u have probs it'll be worth it--nobody else has analog switches AND good software. Also I haven't seen SILICONE wrist rests anywhere except on Wooting. PU leather sucks.
I have one of these and I love it! The story's about customer service are true though. My board came about three months late with virtually no communication. Now from what I can tell they keyboard is incredibly well maid so it seems like these flaws in service are mostly on the front facing end of the company.
maid
@@hpsmash77 XD
@@genericsanta4595 your typical generic santa : incredibly well maid
😂
Can you set it so that the dial adjusts the volume every time you turn it?
@@Zinic_ Yup.
this keyoard, honestly... far overpriced. I've had two (because they screwed up my order, twice). Also, customer service issues as mentioned by everyone else who has ever purchased one of these...
The "dock" dial thing... not good. It's one of those rotary dials that do not register clicks if you rotate it too fast. Also, the quality of the dock accessory felt very poor to me. cheap plastic, very soft polycarbonate type plastic over the display scratches incredibly easily. Frankly, I was happier with a china TKL keyboard from amazon and a matching (separate) numpad.
"dials that do not register clicks if you rotate it too fast" as someone who is working on my own products like keyboards and accessories i can tell you this problem is so easy to fix i cant believe its even problem in modern devices...

@@cont8155 clearly not, you can find many people saying the same
@@cont8155 right... so I am a computer?
"The spacebar stabilizer is clipped"
yes but I can tell it's not very well tuned by the rattle.
Genuinely laughed at the sound test. It sounds horrible
@@xhmotorsports yeah I cringed hearing it
@@xhmotorsports he was so confident about it too, maybe it’s just the script but it feels a bit ignorant to call the spacebar good
@@huantian he’s being paid to say every single word in his script. It’s likely they didn’t even write the final copy.
@@huantian LTT has a bad history covering keyboards.
And its a paid ad.
Had mine for almost a year now and this things truly kicks ass for productivity and typing experience overall
How much does it cost
@MMI▶️ shut up
I agree, i love this keyboard, was one of the lucky backers to get it fairly early
@@inforced 250$
@@inforced I think I paid close to 300 usd for mine, maybe closer to 280 but i genuinley cant remember. All around ive had many custom boards and truly this is the one I enjoy the most, just being able to free up mouse space when going from needing the num pad working and swithcing to needing more mouse space gaming was a huge selling point.
you're really about to make me find a wingdings translator, aren't you?
Edit:
"this keyboard is very poggers yo"
insult to injury.
Thank you for doing this.
Huh?
Thought it was something more interesting
I dont understand this comment lol why does it have hundreds of upvotes?
@@idewmeth4203
The font used in the LTT splash text (at 0:48) is called wingdings. Obviously, it isn't easily readable. But using an online translator, I learned that it spells "this keyboard is very poggers yo".
I bought this keyboard back in November 2020. I love it so far.
My only complaint is that they should add .gif support for the dial, so I can enjoy watching a looped gif of Linus dropping a RTX 3090 while I type a 8-page essay on the benefits of being a marine biologist.
Thank you for doing a review on this. I saw an advertisement a while back, but was a little unsure because of the lack of reviews

@MMI▶️ but like, when did I ask
@@theunderstandingnerd6627 just report it

I think we need a in depth Taren review on this. Also i wish that the numpad could be used on its own. Thatd be great.
I just received mine last week. Love it so far. Highly suggest spending the extra $30 for the double shot PBT keycaps ... I think the standard ABS caps are really cheap, and frankly probably intentionally so, knowing that as an enthusiast piece, you're probably swapping them out anyway. Holding up the ABS cap to the PBT - there is no comparison. The PBT's are substantially thicker, have a textured matte finish, and just have a much more satisfying feel. Worth $30 and 15 mins to swap them out.
Pretty cool pretty cool! I'd love to see them make a proper stream deck competitor with this, and have a module a similar size to the numpad one, but with all 'screen' keys - could be attached to the end of the keyboard that the numpad isn't. I'd also be interested to see what kind of options are included with their software, as the streamdeck has loads of user created plugins now which are very useful.

@@whothefoxcares maybe, who knows for sure? Hehehe still think throwing in heat back at his "haters" was fun in a way
Glarses is going to love this
I'm still waiting for an affordable mechanical keyboard with ISO layout available in the EU.
And a video without the macro king has to be a sponsored video.
Edit: Please add ergonomic in front of keyboard
Keychron does good stuff
It's easier said than done, but you might wanna look into getting/building a QMK or VIA keyboard, so you can reprogram it anyway you want with any layout you want on the hardware that's as perfect for you as it gets.
However, I realize that this is not the right solution for just anyone, but it is the best you can get, so it's worth a consideration!
@@altairquten Yeah, I don't want to build one myself. I hate working on stuff I need. If it's for fun I will willingly spend my time on something, but I just want to type comfortably.
I just picked up (and modded) a Keychron k4. Absolutely love it. Cuts about 2" off the size while retaining my numpad. They make a range of boards in 3-4 other sizes as well. Epomaker/Skyloong also have some solid entry boards.
@Nom That's not an Ergonomic keyboard
Edit: Forgot to mention it... My bad
Instantly sold, I've needed something like this for so long.
Nice Video, was fun to watch!
I bought and modded this thing with yellow gateron (lubed and filmed) and holee mod the stabs last week. The keyboard is basically the same experience if you have a CTRL low profile board except that you have obviously have more features with the modular components. Overall it's worth purchase if you think these modular components are important to you. Otherwise, there are obviously cheaper options if you're an enthusiast. Also, one thing the video and most reviewers do not mention is that even though it has Razer Chroma combability, the RGB options are extremely limited and barely better than the options that already came with. Even worse, you lose even more features like individual LED for each button if you try to turn on Razer Chroma combability. This mode feels pretty useless right now because it neither gives you the full RGB custom and modes of Razer keyboards or even full features of the basic Everest software that it comes with.
Bro thank you for this comment🙌 , i was looking info about the how Razer Chroma works since Linus didn't really tell more about this
I've been using this keyboard since December and it's been pretty great. I recent upgraded my switches and relubed clipped the stabilizers. It feel just as good as I would expect any custom keyboard to feel.
@@craig9365 Extremely easy! They're plate mounted so they come out similar to the switches. There are little tabs on them that you push in to disengage the clip. From there you just have to pull up on them. I didn't know this and took the whole thing apart before realizing it lol. Don't be like me.
@@craig9365 I went with the Durock T1s 67g. I debated between those and the Zealios for a long time and ended up just going with the cheaper switch. They've exceeded my expectations, but I haven't had the opportunity to try a ton of switchs, so take that with a grain of salt.
can the keycaps be replaced with third party caps?
I bought an Everest Core and it is missing 2 of the lighting settings
I have one. Had it for 2-3 months now and i love it.
Have my mountain keyboard a few months now and i LOVE it. Best keyboard i ever owned. had to wait 4 weeks for it to be delivered, my wife was "first batch" and had to wait 3 months after ordering (EU). We love it (hence i bought one too), Basecamp was buggy but the last two releases have greatly improved the software and its on par now with G-Suite and razer. My keyboard arrived with a DOA switch, contacted them on Discord and had a replacement switch in the mail 4 or 5 days later.
I'd like to see a Linus x Glarses collab where they fight to the death over MX Browns...
"Yet it's not so heavy that it can double as a weapon."
*Anthony has left the chat.*
He is Canadian, so you can tell he was uncomfortable saying "gun grey" to refer to the color, and so he probably felt he could redeem himself from having compared the keyboard to a mean and scary item like a gun, by pointing out that it isnt weapon friendly.
Me too... My Rama Works Koyu with internal weight is around 5.5 pounds... and I think that weight may not include the weight of switches and keycaps.
If you can't bludgeon co-workers what's the point?
Got mine 4 days ago, and was looking for a LTT video about it and was kinda sad you guys didn’t make a video on it. Now i am a happy camper😁🙂
Heyyy, I’ve been wanting to buy this one for a long time. Nice to see a video on it
I've done a lot of hand lubing but it's never been a pain. Quite a joy actually.
As someone who works in excel during the day and games at night. I would like to see the detachable numpad become more common because I need it for work, but when I’m gaming I have to move my keyboard sideways in order to stop hitting it with my mouse.
Here's me still rocking a Sidewinder X6 with it's number pad attachment! Still working as good as it was when I 1st brought it 2nd hand around 8+ years ago. To be honest I was using another great keyboard in the G510S until it got liquid damaged which was a replacement for the X6 and luckily I'd still kept it so it's now happily sat back on my desk. The membrane is still perfect from what I can tell as are the other extra buttons & dials.
Ordered One of these about 3 weeks ago, got it 2 weeks ago. Loving it!
so they fixed the shipping issue everyone had?
This feels more like an ad than a review, not a single negative aspect was mentioned
it's sponsored.
first line in the desc: "Thanks to Mountain and Cherry for sponsoring this video! Check out the keyboards below"
its a Showcase, not a review. Review will probably come later.
Amazed how no one commented on this!
The intro spells in Windings:
"This keyboard is very poggers yo"
Thank you! Wanted to know but didn't want to do research!
LOL, I sat and translated before I came to comment section, I knew I should have checked here first, hehe.
I just wasted 10 minutes searching and comment that thing
Someone else already translated it before you though.
2:57 - Perfect pre-emptive strike haha.
Ive been looking for a keyboard to replace my aging G910 Orion Spark and I think this is the first keyboard Ive seen that seems like an actual step up.
Saw the title then immediately ordered one :) thanks for remaining me about the keyboard I’ve been meaning to buy one for a while
I'm amazed about the keyboard since i bought it. I can't tell anything about customer service and shipping time, because i've bought it in a store, but i've heard of the issues. Bit i've got to say, it is a really unique unboxing experience and a very special keyboard. Definitely worth the money
In which store did you buy it?
@@dexter3play at a store called Expert in Germany
If it was actually a good keyboard for macros, Taran would be the one, who reviews it.
I guess it isn't
But it’s not a review, it’s a showcase, it’s a paid video
Not a review
It's a sponsored vid. Taran would tear this apart on every single detail!
I don't think it has enough dedicated macro keys for someone like Taran. And if it does not realistically replace anything, what's the point?
Not a review so they probably paid extra to get Linus to talk about it, since he is the face and probably gets the most view on the channel
As someone with RSI I can't use a regular keyboard for much time without massive pain, however I can type all day long on an ergonomic keyboard. To this end surely an ergonomic must therefore help prevent RSI in anyone who doesn't yet have it, so it'd be nice to see more keyboards move towards being ergo.
Most people I've talked to that don't use one are put off by the change in layout but it doesn't take long to adapt.
Ive been looking at this board for a couple months now and Im super glad LLT is making a video on it. But last time I checked black was OOS on mountains website, even just a couple days ago. Hopefully this video will cause some restocks
Mountains slogan for this keyboard.
"Built for Taran, works for everyone."
That would be very cool if you reviewed the X-Bows. I have the Kickstarter edition and it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever had (the Ergodox may be better but it’s more niche). The new ones run the QMK firmware and hence can be infinitely customized.
After checking the product page, I was surprised to see that the price is quite reasonable, especially for how unique the product is compared to other keyboards around the same price. I will certainly consider this for my next upgrade.
One thing I did notice was that during the keyboard sound test, the music was still playing in the background. For future reference, it could be handy to turn it off so keyboard enthusiasts can hear just the keyboard specifically. Solid video though, and certainly an interesting product!
This seems like a heavily commercialized novelty keyboard project.
Lubing, clip mods, and band-aid mods are usually entrusted to customers so the group buy provider can actually ship their kits in volume.
If it has to be mass-produced, I prefer razer's way of doing it. If you want novelty features, just get actual novelty keyboards.

Keyboard manufacturers need to bring back the small displays. One of the main reasons I've yet to part with my Logitech G15.
Bought one and found I coudlnt default the screen to volume...sent a message to Everest and in under 2 hours got a response to update firmware as they had recently added the feature :)
Been using it for 2 months now and I am happy as Larry
Congratulations for 14 Million subscribers
7:00 🤣 I wonder how much of a deal they got on leftover smartwatch screens!
"this keyboard is very poggers yo"
why did i look up a wingdings chart for this
I'm definitely getting one when I get the chance.
loving it so far
"comes in a box Mountain intends for you to re-use as a useful storage container to reduce waste" this is the biggest cop-out I have ever heard
Taran: FINALLY a worthy opponent 😈
Our Battle will be legendary...
@MMI▶️ shut up bot
Very expensive so no, not worthy
nice to see it has swappable switches, this is such as good feature
ive got a big old custom keeb that i have spent far too much money and time, i have a friend that wants a nice custom but most customs are pretty barebones and just dont have the luxuries of a board like this, the pre lubed and clipped stabs and hotswap are awesome for this kind of board. definitely will be recommending this to them :). wish more enthusiast boards would start to add these features.
The Optimus Maximus wasn’t just a concept. It went to market. People bought it.
I love how Linus has just succumbed to the realization that he is a living breathing meme.
I take some issue with what Linus said about the stabilizers. He said they are hand lubed and clipped, but they sound like they may have lube present in the housing and where the wire clips into it, but there is none where the wire goes into the stem, which is where most rattle comes from. Also, about his comment of clipping and lubing stabilizers being time consuming and a pain, you can do it in about a minute from in the board to back in. Clipping is just taking a pair of flush cutters and clipping off the plastic springs at the bottom for a clackier bottom out. For lubing, there are three areas you want to lube: the end of the wire where it enters the stem, with a copious amount there, where the wire clips to the housing, and where the stem slides against the housing. Keep in mind this can all be done with a 50 cent tube of dielectric grease. Taeha Types has an excellent guide on how to do this, if anyone is interested.
The mx brown burn, never stop Linus 😂👌
That sounds incredibly crisp for my red silent. I have an mx board 1 with those and the keys feels like they Bundy especially CTRL and Shift
I can definitively say before watching this video that it is in fact GREAT!
Ty
@@randomstuff3325 thanks google for translating ty into English which is also in fact ty
Is it just me or is EVERYTHING on the Everest website extremely overpriced?
It's about what I'd expect for a high end, limited production run product. Now, the vast majority of people will be just as happy with a much cheaper keyboard, but it's in line with similar enthusiast devices.
everything aside from the keyboard and a few small parts/products are other brands they they raise the price on and sell so it's a given, the keyboard itself isn't badly priced for the barebones or core variant compared to other options that the board often gets compared to so you're really paying for the numpad and media dock
Nice video. Can you make a top 5 keyboards video?
I bought this a few months ago. Put in Boba u4t, no issues so far, but I never lubed it which will probably need to be done in the future.
Thanks Linus. I needed the validation that my choice of Cherry MX Brown switches is not, in fact, insane.
Look guys, I type more than I game, but I game plenty. 🤷🏽♂️
Just because you game doesn't mean you're locked to weak tactiles or linears. There's no problem with using a Matias Tactile Pro to game.
Lmao I love how Linus embraced the meme that his face became.
i really like the mountain key caps, super minimalistic and clean
Tool marks? WOW! Just what I've always wanted.
Yet another cool keyboard that likely won’t support Linux.
I am going to attempt running this in WINE, not sure what good it will do to test it without hardware, but ........ If it can run under WINE, it may be possible to get it read the usb? The other option is, run the configurator in a VM. My concern is do you have to keep the software running to be able to use it or does the board store the settings?
Of course bruh. You will probably be putting a decent ammount of money on the table to get a high end keyboard with cool features that is linux optimized
@@PhilipSHempel The beauty of the open source community is maybe someone will develop software to work with this keyboard.
There isn't a linux version of the software but it works fine under linux for me.
Depending on what you put on those macros, even they function normaly.
It's still a great keyboard, just a bit expensive though
@@Mikhael03 and maybe no one will, truly beautiful
Although this is a really cool concept, more than anything this just really makes me wish that more full-size keyboards had their numpads on the left side
wow ... never thought of that! I actually get annoyed using my mouse hand for the numpad
ngl i been waiting for this review
Oh i so want this keyboard now, glad you showcased this before i decided to buy a new keyboard and separate macro keyboard
yea its expensive but its nice, the modular parts... the swapable switches... AND cable... it will last
PLEASE let Taryn dig into this! this is so cool!
Damn Linus is just accepting any sponsors now
Shitty sponsors at that
Just being able to switch key pad to the left is epic! Sold!
with this and framework it looks like the future is modular... and I like it!
Crawls out of cave " did he say osu?"
I wonder who put that into the script 🤔
I think so he did
@@azeriusfrost same
@@unicornlover_osu nice.
IDE rather get an legato separate & gmmk keyboard. About the same price for so much more.
I love the Everest, rgb software kind of sucks though but its nice to be able to take the numb pad off when gaming and put it back on for other tasks. Only issue you might have with the keyboard is the buying process it took me about 3-4 months to get it, and that was before covid went crazy so be prepared to wait, but the good new is unless the internal motherboard of the keyboard goes out you can get basically any switch and keycaps to replace them with
I'm sold, gonna get this one
Cherry MX browns are my all time favorite switch, i am a verry heavy handed person and to me it just feels the best.
the problem for me with lighter switches is that even resting my hands on the keyboard i rest them down hard enough that they sometimes register as keystrokes, this is especially a problem for me with the cherry MX speed switches, with those it feels like if is so much as breath on the keyboard it will start typing, no doubt great for competetive esports gaming, but since i am not a esports pro, nor do i aspire to become one, i will stick to what is comfortable and has me typing the fastest
🤣
*laughts in holy pandas*
Yeah other than some really weird stuff browns are the worst tactile switch. There's a whole world of better stuff.
@@inbedwithhomer out of interest, what kind of switches would you recommend?
@@j4u947 holy pandas, durock sunflowers, even kailh speed coppers are a big improvement over cherry browns.
May want to run the title past Taran first...
I have a side winder x6. Its served me well for the last 10 years.
I remember seeing a video about this a while ago, still a cool product
Browns in an office are the PERFECT balance.
Tactile feedback, but not hate inducing noise.
I have a filco board at work with browns. Expensive as fuck, but amazing to use, and no complaints
is osu getting popular or something? this is the second time I've heard ltt reference it which is pretty dope
Lmao
Lmao
Isn't Osu always been popular? I doubt it'll ever die
that crap game has been around for like 14 years now, if anything it's not getting popular just now
lol osu is a very well known game
i love the machine marks i was the pc and motors for the CNC machine we made from router and rails to flatten slabs of wood for doors, tables, islands, ect
I love my Mountain Keyboard.
I bought the full package and don't regret it for a second.
Wish they had a video editing module for PP. Those things are already expensive so 300 for the base is nothing.
you want to edit pp videos lol
It have a lot of rgb that give more fps in games i will buy until gpu's will back in stock
I own a similar keyboard, it may not have the top add-on(the configurable keys with the knob), but it does have a moveable keypad just like this one, configurable keys all around, has 3 (i think? maybe 5) profiles you can configure and it is ergonomic. If I recall properly, the price is just about the same as well, and the team is pretty responsive as far as replying to emails or facebook DMs. I honestly wish they would develop an add-on similar to the top one of this keyboard, but mainly to control media keys, as right now you have to configure them onto another profile or unused keys of your keyboard.... it is the X-Bows Knight Plus. It comes with a lot more options as well in regards to keycaps and keyswitches (I think they have 3 different keycap sets, one for Windows, one for Mac and one for another language I don't remember, and probably 10-12 keyswitch options including some silent ones)... I hope Linus reads this and does a comparison of both keyboards, as I feel like the X-Bows is superior (by comparing with the online reviews I saw of the Everest, but to be fair, they would need to keep in mind that one is a regular layout as the other one is an ergonomic one and not keep that biased...by the way, the ergonomical layout helped me tremendously with my wrist issues, and I thought I would hate it for gaming, but its decent... you get used to it after a while... I still miss my regular layout for gaming sometimes, but yeah, I'd like to know if the build quality is similar, and what they think is the best one (I am still wondering if I made a good choice...)
I have never wanted anything on LTT SO FRIGGIN MUCH!!!!
