Yes, but way more people will click "waterproof" than "water resistant". Marketing is all about stretching the truth. Look at Casey Neistat's titles, everything is for the clicks.
every keyboard works perfectly as long as it dries enough. I spilled my drink over my corsair K70 RGB, let it dry for 3 days to be 100% sure its dry. And it works perfectly. Typing on it right now. ALL LED's work, every color works. Not waterproof
Similar thing here, my K65 RGB had a pretty thorough drenching of cup noodle, some of which I think got into the switches. Took it all apart and washed/bathed it in the shower to make sure everything was squeaky clean, then dried it all for a day or two in front of a space heater. After putting it all back together, works flawlessly months after. Electronics can be a lot more durable against spills than people think, given they're handled properly for cleaning.
i once tried to break my razer blackwidow by spilling water on it to test if it could stand water spill it still works fuck man i really wanted a new keyboard
Not really, as the copper paths may corrode and become nonconductive, permanently damaging the circuit - that's what happened to my $25 membrane keyboard
A real test would involve spilling water, better yet coffee, on it while it's plugged in. Then you can rinse it off and dry it. That would be water resistant. A "waterproof" keyboard should be tested while typing underwater inside a pool.
I bought this on a whim and it is honestly great. It can easily compete with mechanical keyboards in the $130 range. I do recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mechanical keyboard without a 10-key. Overall - 10/10.
Congratulations, you've won! Please respond to this comment with your twitter handle and then respond to my announcement tweet to get the ball rolling.
I love that you locked off the main shot instead of having it handheld like your last video. Really the only improvement I might suggest is regarding the lava lamp. It really makes the composition unbalanced (it attracts you much attention), so maybe add something on the other side to balance it or remove it from the shot. Idk I just feel like that might help, but obviously do whatever you want
how broke are you that you can't afford a 34 dollar keyboard, and that you hope to win it? can you seriously not buy a normal keyboard from like ttesports for like 8 bucks. Why would u want a knockoff piece of crap like this? Seriously, if there was a chinese off brand of chinese offbrands, it is this brand.
you should try spilled the water when u use the keyboard, because everybody always spill when the keyboard is connected, no one gonna pull out and try to spill water in the keyboard.
I bought the Tomoko mechanical keyboard on Prime day 2016 for $30. This keyboard is amazing, the keys are clicky with a nice feedback. The keyboard is very compact and feels very sturdy and well made. I wouldn't call Tomoko keyboards knockoffs, rather they good clones. The keyboard is manufactured by a company called Easterntimes Tech and Tomoko slapped their brand on it. A week after using this keyboard, I was at Best Buy and came across some very expensive brands such as Razerr and Corsair. I tested their blue/clicky keyboards and I honestly felt those keyboards are not any better than this Tomoko keyboard.
If you want cheap mechanical keyboards, go on eBay and find sketchy Chinese ones. I've seen them sell for as low as $26. I personally got a Rapoo V500 mechanical keyboard for $34, and it has dedicated volume keys.
After a dog attack I got some nerve damage. I can't feel a couple of fingers or the keys when I type. I bought this keyboard because of the loud switches it really helps a lot. Instead of feeling the switches when I type I can hear them. The audible feedback helps my typing.
I managed to get this on Amazon for $20, the case is very solid, almost no flex, and the feet are solid. Switches are Outemu Blues. The only weakness is the keyboard does not always sit flat, even on a flat surface, in which case I just flex it slightly to fix it. Sounds jank but it works fine. I did upgrade the keycaps, as that is the only part that belies the low price.
I actually bought this keyboard on Amazon about a week ago, due to its low price (£32 here in the UK on Amazon) and I love it. If I had one problem, it would be that the enter key is slightly smaller than I would like.
as long as its not plugged into anything u could take any electronic device into a pool with u.. let it sit at the bottom of the pool for a week.. pull it out .. let it dry completely and itll work.. try plugging it in and running water on it.. thats the real test for water resistance
this keyboard with a backlight that only has a few colour presets, (red, green, blue, yellow, purple, white...etc) and a UK layout would be perfect for me
Waterproof = after soaking in water, don't need to wait for it to dry if you want to type.Water resistant = after soaking in water then drying, it still works.
pretty much any electronic without a battery can get wet and dry out without breaking. You could unplug a Corsair K70, put it in the sink like that, and let it dry, and it would also preform the same. When you drop your coffee over the keyboard, it wont be unplugged. if its truely water resistant, you should have done the test with it plugged in and on a desk
bought this keyboard but hate how the keycaps have the letters printed on it, the letters start to get dirty and fade, however you can just purchase new keycaps to replace them, but with that money you can just buy a new keyboard
But how many people drink only water? :P Sugary drinks will dry out and be sticky causing some keys to trigger nearby key(s) too, or not working, and sometimes even a whole row of keys not working. Usually opening the keyboard and using some rubbing alcohol / flux off (flux removing spray, usually comes with a brush head) on the board, and letting it dry helps restore majority if not all operation.
according to my 10 minute research on deskthority, these are Outemu Blue switches. i have this kb, i super-recommend it, but BUY SOME DAMPENERS !! the typing feeling improves massively with $2 worth of dampeners.
***** trump needs to eat shit also the keyboard is good for it's price i mean buyng your own keycaps will not heavily increase the price even for a $54 keyboard this is a steal
i have now been using this kb for 3 months and i can assure everyone that the ABS keycaps are reasonably high quality, i have no shine at all. it's ABS, it will never feel as "clunk" as PBT, but as ABS goes, this is good shit.
I actually just found this on amazon.de for 25€ and ordered it, they changed the name to something like VicTsing though, so if you're trying to find this, might have more luck with that name. Really excited to test it out when it arrives.
All I have is this cheap Dell stock keyboard. I game a lot (especially on MOBA's) and sometimes the key lag and the non-clicky sound I get really screws up my combos because I'm focusing on the screen. I also use my desk a lot for food and stuff for on the go studying and working so the water resistance of this works out perfectly for what I need. Thanks again love the channel and keep up the AMAZING work.
That's not how water + electronics work. A lot of times, when the person "dries" it, there's still water inside that causes corrosion. The proper way is to disassemble it and then rinse it in in isopropol alcohol 90%. Then use a fan on it to dry it the remainder of the way.
Things that came in contact with moisture can still have minerals left. I think that your keyboard isn't as durable anymore after it's bath. With smaller electronics, like phones, this risk is significantly higher because the components are tiny.
Can you do a follow up video on these after using them for a while to show how well the keys are holding up? ive seen some reviews saying that the keycaps start fading out pretty quickly.
This keyboard looks pretty cool. I've been looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard, but this is the first one I found in my price range since I am a student. If it isn't obvious, I'd like to win this keyboard
HEY anyone interested in mechanical keyboards, you should know that THIS one is a winner. I looked at all kinds of mechanical keyboards, the main competitor being the Hcman Zhuque, and I can tell you that this one is the one to beat. I bought it on Amazon, and it's just fantastic to type on. The weight is great too.
This keyboard actually is great! It's great to play on and type on, but just one complaint, the lettering on the keyboard kind of fades or just goes a bit darker after you use it for a while. But it's not a problem for me because I don't really look at my keyboard when I'm typing and the fading isn't that strong anyway! :D
Is there really any use in testing an unplugged keyboard? You said it yourself all electronics would survive if unplugged while getting wet and then dried. Just spill a cup of water when plugged in and see if it survives.
I would honestly like to have this keyboard. I work a minimum wage job bagging groceries at a grocery store only on the weekends, and I'm saving for a pc. all I need is a good keyboard, hut can't because I'm paying off my car! Love your videos man!
I bought this keyboard, and currently have an issue. I was testing the keyboard and somehow 2 buttons have swapped. Do you know what I can do to fix this?
*'fuly'* Edit: So, I ended up buying this keyboard because of this review - and I don't think I could be happier with it as a first time mechanical buyer. I'm sure plenty of other boards are better, but not many of them can be had for this price. The switches are loads more satisfying than a rubber dome, and the MX compatible stems means lots of customization possibilities. I'm also really surprised at how heavy and solid this board is... the keycaps are light in a normal sort of way, but the housing / case of this thing is beastly, especially for a "budget" board. Now I'm just looking for excuses to type... that's the only reason I'm commenting here. Delicious clickey keys... Have clacked. Not going back.
This looks exactly like the Redragon K552 without backlight, even has the same feet. Does this keyboard have the same swithes (Switch Master) as the K552???
*Buys £70 keyboard*
* watches this video straight after*
*Kills him self*
lmao xDDD
yup
I Bought the $40 one.........fml
+Physics` Pronewb rather pay extra 4$ for backlight
i rather pay 4 dollars less for water resist
Waterproof and water resistant isn't the same thing Matt
not entirely...
clickbait
Infinite Warfare LEAKED gameplay on my channel!
Yes, but way more people will click "waterproof" than "water resistant". Marketing is all about stretching the truth. Look at Casey Neistat's titles, everything is for the clicks.
At least your honest :D

XANX As long as it dries, and doesnt do any damage when its still on like short circuits, everything will work fine.
exactly, some people even wash there non waterproof keyboard
i once tried to break my razer blackwidow by spilling water on it to test if it could stand water spill it still works fuck man i really wanted a new keyboard
+WheyTooManyGainzz can I have that keyboard
Thanks for the video. Just ordered one yesterday and received it today. This keyboard is so basic yet so satisfying.
I can't think of a better comment.
lol same!
Ok
Bendumin F
Finally, I can take a bath together with my beloved keyboard.
These switches are called "Switchmaster Blue" just FYI. And they feel great btw
really showed him

+RaGe Spectr3 You're desperate huh
+RaGe Spectr3 fuck that game fuck cod in the future
loser :)
mechanical keyboards sound so intense when typing I love it lol
Cool... I can now swim with my keyboard... So useful...
it's not for that its for if you spill something on it
+Zix duh.
Zix who would of known...
playing CSGO in a swimming pool right now, works great
Or, if you are lazy to clean your keyboard: trow it in the washingmachine!
I subbed to your channel about 2 weeks ago and i love it! Keep up the great work!
this keyboard was very wet and is fuly working
I think the switches are hot swappable
Really enjoying your videos. It's great to see new faces emerging in the tech community with such awesome quality and promising futures
This waterproof thing is just bullshit.... if i do this test with my 10$ keyboard its gonna be waterproof as well
Eh, it's just a silly marketing move.
Water resistant is not waterproof.
Not really, as the copper paths may corrode and become nonconductive, permanently damaging the circuit - that's what happened to my $25 membrane keyboard
A real test would involve spilling water, better yet coffee, on it while it's plugged in. Then you can rinse it off and dry it. That would be water resistant. A "waterproof" keyboard should be tested while typing underwater inside a pool.
i tried and my keyboard broke, now i guess i have to buy this keyboard...
This has been sitting in my shopping cart on Amazon for a while now. Good to know it's actually worth it
cherry mx lost there patent on there switches so they're not knockoffs there mechanical key switches
there patent
There patent
These videos are very professionally done. You do a great job! Keep up the work!
i have this keyboard and i love it.
me too, its fucking amazing isn't it ?
Has a good response?
@@jova2700 even after 4 years it still works great and is very responsive, i recommend it.
@@-Dran ok thanks man💪🏼
@dIAmOnDs_ gAmErZzZz it doesnt have any rgb lights on it.
I bought this on a whim and it is honestly great. It can easily compete with mechanical keyboards in the $130 range.
I do recommend this to anyone who is looking for a mechanical keyboard without a 10-key.
Overall - 10/10.
I would like to win this mechanical keyboard since i have a bad membrane keyboard.
eyy same
Congratulations, you've won! Please respond to this comment with your twitter handle and then respond to my announcement tweet to get the ball rolling.
Holy crap! This is my luckiest day!
My twitter is @eddgameshd
+Muncha You lucky shit
+rys hehe rekt
I'm really surprised and happy to see that a mechanical keyboard at this price point is functioning as advertised... I'm blown away...
mkay so this keyboard, i got it 2 days ago and im already seeing the keys fading but oh well
It's expected that corners are cut at $34-38.
Who needs letters on the keys anyways? ;)
Can't you just get stickers?
y altschuler You can buy a set of keycaps instead
Kei Angelus That's far more expensive, man. Might as well buy a more expensive keyboard if you're gonna do that. xD
I love that you locked off the main shot instead of having it handheld like your last video.
Really the only improvement I might suggest is regarding the lava lamp. It really makes the composition unbalanced (it attracts you much attention), so maybe add something on the other side to balance it or remove it from the shot.
Idk I just feel like that might help, but obviously do whatever you want
*attracts too much attention
You're reading too much into that lava lamp lol didn't even realize it was there until you said something.
MS TECH 0:45
"Water resistent" is NOT Water Proof.
WR is not WP.
Keep that in mind guys...
YEAAAAAAAAH, i finally can have a bath with my keyboard
I like ur giveaway I Want to win that keyboard!!! It will be my first mechanical keyboard ever , stuck in this flat keyboard laptop :(
how broke are you that you can't afford a 34 dollar keyboard, and that you hope to win it? can you seriously not buy a normal keyboard from like ttesports for like 8 bucks.

This is a $50 keyboard
no 38
Just bought it for $35 on Amazon so I don't know what you're talking about, and might I mention this is a very nice keyboard for the cheap price
PulseDesigns I $3 Intros! 27$ now xd I plan on buying it in the next month or so
$26 :)

Are you peeta kid?
he's not it's a British dude
+Yassid Martinez (YMGamer) what are you talking about?
he's not british: he uses dollars and his plug sockets are american...
+Sam's Tech I thought he was talking about another channel that's called peeta
In my head, this kid looks like peeta hunger games. Lmao

Thank you for the second chance to win a mech keyboard, matt! Im in! good luck everybody
it's weird, still really like that Rosewell keyboard you made
They need to make an RGB version of this that is affordable. That would be amazing!
Matt... Are you gonna do more TH-cam tips and tricks? Like how to make intros?
I actually bought this keyboard on Amazon about a week ago, due to its low price (£32 here in the UK on Amazon) and I love it. If I had one problem, it would be that the enter key is slightly smaller than I would like.
ron burgundy "Stay classy SAN DEIAAAAGO!!" hahaha
got this for £24 from the UK .... amazing price for a mechanical keyboard can't wait for it to be delivered on 28th September !
I don't think spilling drinks over a mechanical keyboard is too bad so long as you unplug it straight away and then dry and clean it correctly.
as long as its not plugged into anything u could take any electronic device into a pool with u.. let it sit at the bottom of the pool for a week.. pull it out .. let it dry completely and itll work.. try plugging it in and running water on it.. thats the real test for water resistance

Waterproof = after soaking in water, don't need to wait for it to dry if you want to type.Water resistant = after soaking in water then drying, it still works.
This is the exact same keyboard as the AUKEY 87 keys but rebranded. Solid keyboard.
pretty much any electronic without a battery can get wet and dry out without breaking.

Dude I found this guys channel when he had 500 subs and I just found it again holy shit
according to my 10 minute research on deskthority, these are Outemu Blue switches. i have this kb, i super-recommend it, but BUY SOME DAMPENERS !! the typing feeling improves massively with $2 worth of dampeners.
Do a review of the CM Devastator II (2nd Version) and please do a head to head budget keyboard comparison with the $34 and $40 keyboard plz.
Oh I was looking for a review on this keyboard but there were none and you just did it, thank you!
Finally, a keyboard that I can take swimming with me
to all who complain about the key caps fading they use standard cherry MX keycaps and you can grab a replacement set for under $20 which are descent
+The Hitman Hahaha why does everything have to be political.
***** trump needs to eat shit also the keyboard is good for it's price i mean buyng your own keycaps will not heavily increase the price even for a $54 keyboard this is a steal
The click of the keys is so satisfying.
That means that you can easily clean this keyboard since its water resistant or proof
i have now been using this kb for 3 months and i can assure everyone that the ABS keycaps are reasonably high quality, i have no shine at all.
it's ABS, it will never feel as "clunk" as PBT, but as ABS goes, this is good shit.
I put this mechanical keyboard on my secret santa list and I got it. Using it right now and I have to say, it's better than I thought it'd be

I spilled water on my StrafeRGB 2 times cleaned it well (Dissembled it and used hair dryer and paper towels) and it's going strong like a new one.
That's not how water + electronics work. A lot of times, when the person "dries" it, there's still water inside that causes corrosion. The proper way is to disassemble it and then rinse it in in isopropol alcohol 90%. Then use a fan on it to dry it the remainder of the way.
dude your videos are really good. you deserve all the views and subs + more bro! keep it up!
Things that came in contact with moisture can still have minerals left. I think that your keyboard isn't as durable anymore after it's bath. With smaller electronics, like phones, this risk is significantly higher because the components are tiny.
I have a more expensive keyboard, but considering how often I spill on my keyboard, I might get one of these if I ever need a new one.
You should do a review of the jelly comb mechanical keyboard , it's also for 40$ but it has black switches , it looks really good
Can you do a follow up video on these after using them for a while to show how well the keys are holding up? ive seen some reviews saying that the keycaps start fading out pretty quickly.
I've wanted this keyboard for a while, and I even almost told you to do a review on it, lol
Just bought it
Update: just got it and it doesn’t work at all😢 I have plugged it to 3 pcs and it hasn’t worked with any of them
Love the stay classy poster!
This keyboard looks pretty cool. I've been looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard, but this is the first one I found in my price range since I am a student. If it isn't obvious, I'd like to win this keyboard
HEY anyone interested in mechanical keyboards, you should know that THIS one is a winner. I looked at all kinds of mechanical keyboards, the main competitor being the Hcman Zhuque, and I can tell you that this one is the one to beat. I bought it on Amazon, and it's just fantastic to type on. The weight is great too.
just bought it to replace my old speedlink rapex cheap keyboard. I'm excited.
This keyboard actually is great! It's great to play on and type on, but just one complaint, the lettering on the keyboard kind of fades or just goes a bit darker after you use it for a while. But it's not a problem for me because I don't really look at my keyboard when I'm typing and the fading isn't that strong anyway! :D
Thanks for the amazing video! I might actually pick one of these because they are so cheap
Looks like an Outemu blue switch, if that's what it is, it's the same as in the Redragon Vara, which I really love using!
I'm happy with my Logitech G105 keyboard. It has the numpad (even though it isn't used a lot) and it has programmable buttons which I use quite a bit.
i have had this keyboard since march and had zero problems with it
Will it rust if you don't pop it open and dry it like a saltine in the desert?
Is there really any use in testing an unplugged keyboard? You said it yourself all electronics would survive if unplugged while getting wet and then dried. Just spill a cup of water when plugged in and see if it survives.
For the waterproof test you should have pored your coffee on it and then cleaned it with water
On sale now for $26.99 on Amazon
+MS Tech can you find something relatively cheap for Canadians? because that keyboard is 149.99 on amazon.ca
I would honestly like to have this keyboard. I work a minimum wage job bagging groceries at a grocery store only on the weekends, and I'm saving for a pc. all I need is a good keyboard, hut can't because I'm paying off my car! Love your videos man!
Seems really similar to the redragon kumara except different keys and no back lighting.
yeah it is good for the price but it doesnt have back lighting and i guess the waterproof factor makes up for that
The name of the switches are probably written upside down, just turn the keyboard and shine some light on it.
I bought this keyboard, and currently have an issue. I was testing the keyboard and somehow 2 buttons have swapped. Do you know what I can do to fix this?
thanks for testing the water proof thing. I don't want to test in on mine
The keycaps on our keyboards are made out of the same plastic as Legos
I love mechanical keyboards and my computer has a bad key board. Nice video. Gimme this right now.
I'll take it! I actually have the redragon, but I could use a second mech keyboard for my secondary machine (1st world problems)
I'm stuck with an old HP keyboard so that would really help me out
*'fuly'* Edit: So, I ended up buying this keyboard because of this review - and I don't think I could be happier with it as a first time mechanical buyer.

This looks exactly like the Redragon K552 without backlight, even has the same feet. Does this keyboard have the same swithes (Switch Master) as the K552???
Quick question would it get fried if I used it while wet or...
Was waiting for this video! Thanks
every keyboard will work if u turn it off and put it under water and let it dry what is the point
Thanks for doing these reviews
just got this keyboard today, first mechanical keyboard but from what I can tell its pretty ok
4:14
Just so you know, it said
“Fuly”
At the flash word thing
