a wire and keys... a wife and kids... I thought that was funny
I think the AKE0CTF whatever it's called will be the weirdest keyboard in my collection for a long time

Its weird because its not for us mere mortals, its for cashiers in a shop.
Jack Kraken yeah it's the same keys
watch novelkeys come out with the NK420 Cashier Edition
@@thesaintnoodle I just so happen to have been one in another life. So back then number keys were super important, basically we use them 90% of the time along with the function keys and of course the enter key.
The enter key being the most abused of all keys, you could even tell by the state of the enter key who had been using it, with admin staff keyboards looking roughly the same but the cashier keyboard had the enter and function keys looking worn down (often super shiny too)
Alphanumeric were used but usually very rarely, mostly when we need to type in a description of an item if their item code/barcode was missing or too badly damaged to read.
@@jackkraken3888 for us it's the clear key that is abuse
@@Charu0 ah yes that too or whatever button that's used to delete items.

I could imagine walking into a weird doctors office and seeing a woman at the front desk chewing gum and typing 200wpm on this thing while asking me questions and going mhhm
get one and see how long it take for you to loose your mind from trying to use that keyboard
Dude I can’t explain to you how much I love these videos
Aha thanks!
I like the enter key part
Watching these videos drunk is the best thing ever!😂😂
Yup, funny videos about an interesting concept, I see no downside here
Best videos on TH-cam 🤣
As a former retail saleman, I saw this and I REALLY liked it. Once you got the musclememory of the itemnumbers in store, I could use the touchpad to navigate the different sales sections, have the F keys for point of sales and then slam the enter key like Mad. Even the backspace is in a good place for as numbercentric enviroment. Alphas are rarely used once you forgo items names and go by their numbers.
Then I realized, this setup is only good for me as a leftie.
This setup is just atrocios. But I would buy it ;)
So niche!
I use a keyboard similar to this one at the grocery store I work at! Letters to search up an item, numpad to enter codes for certain products, function keys for categories/returning/payment etc., arrows to go through lists and of course... the big ass enter key to smash when I'm finished!
given that it's Access-IS and everything else I've seen for them is pretty much POS (for tickets and such) I'm willing to bet it's not supposed to be used for desktop use and for straight up terminal use. And looking them up, yeah that checks out.
"what are you-"
"geh aut"
*proceeds to smash keys together*
i laughed the hardest in days lmaooo
The PewDiePie keyboard video showed up on my recommended and I loved it so now I’m binging this channel, I don’t even know much about keyboards. The editing and commentary is absolutely delightful. You’re also one of the few people I’ve seen to have actually really funny bits.
The same thing happened to me. I don't watch pwdp or whatever his name is and I am about as technologically illiterate as a rock so the algorithm is like "this fella here is a rising star." And I agree! His videos are fun and educational!
You should also check out dankpods. The algorithm likes to recommend them together.
@@treehugers1000 I’ll look into them, thanks.
Edit: I looked into him and thank for the recommendation! He’s really good.
Ayy I'm in the same boat as you! I legit had no idea that there were several parts of keyboards or that switches needed lubing or anything like that but I've been watching tons of videos now. Hamaji neo is the main guy that I watch and I like to pretend that I know what's going on and that I'm a keyboard snob, and that all inferior keyboards are for peasants. Tbh I don't even have a mechanical keyboard but I find sound tests super satisfying

That square enter key is the coolest cap I have ever seen.
It's great isn't it!
Having worked in retail, for a while, god I would've loved this layout. Navigating POS systems can be a pain.
I think the keyboard was meant to be mounted a wall or something. That would explains the layout.
wall mounted would make a lot of sense actually, thanks for that insight
well chyrosran22 will hate it
@@yanguYT because of its hhhiiddeeeoouus layout
@@aatman05 waning
I work with this exact keyboard except for having a larger spacebar and a smaller enter key. We use them with tills and none of them are wall mounted, absolute nightmare if you have to type anything longer than a sentence as you have to reach a full keyboards length before reaching the keys you want.
"I thought I'd get used to it... I didn't. It's bad. It's terrible." LMAO
the not-keyed-out explosion was excellent *chef's kiss*
you literally deserve so much subs. makes me laugh so much. the bit where the keycaps are fighting is unbeatable comedy
This keyboard is designed for use with machinery, its programmable and is supposed to have specific machine commands programmed into the various keys (the big red one for instance is usually a stop key). The layout is not really intended for a day to day use keyboard.
Thanks
If that's meant to be a stop button, that would be a REALLY BAD ONE. You'd have to be careful to hit all four switches!
@@PKLuver944 If you're workin' with gloves it isn't that much of concern ...
@@PKLuver944 Err no, each switch is programmed as a stop, any one of them being depressed would activate the stop function.
@@paulosullivan3472 Oh, really? Glarses said in the video that it didn't work if all four switches weren't activated...
That Enter key drama 🤣
Alright, I'll go subscribe now.
Please keep making these dude. That sense of humour is what I need everyday.
The layout is obviously not a 60% or a Tenkeyless...

I don't even think you'd have to like keyboards to love these videos man; good stuff!
Just found your videos and my goodness I can't believe how much joy this brought me.
Cynthia's champion theme 😂 I see you are a man of culture
I think I've used one of these whilst working in a shop somewhere. It's definitely designed for using standing up at a till where you're mostly typing numbers. I have to agree that the weird placing of the backspace and such is a pain when typing letters.
I love how when he’s doing the sound test he goes to hit the the big ENTER key and then backs off to hit backspace
How is it possible that even if I don't care about keyboards at all I still found this entertaining.. Props to you
Found your channel and have been back watching everything. Your comedic timing (*chef kissing fingers), superb. This video was glore-EEEEEEE-us.
Some of those POS boards are great for harvesting keycaps (especially all the 1Us for ortho) and they came quite often with Cherry Switches (mostly Blacks)
I see! that makes a lot of sense (will eventually need to dive into the world of orthos but I'm not quiiiteee there yet)
@@Glarses Yeah, getting an old (90s ish) keyboard delivered today. Paid 35€ shipped for decently thick ABS doubleshots with a handful of funny "novelties", but more importantly a full set of usable alphas.
@@shadowcore94 brilliant - what do you intend to use the alphas for?
@@Glarses They are with German legends, made by Devlin and all keys (including mods) are uniform. Gonna put them on a Planck. Quite expensive to get uniform keycaps in German, as "rowed" keycaps don't support the layout I am used to. Had DSA Granite prior, which I sold. In retrospect, I don't even know why. Probably, because I took a long break from Ortho, but I want to get into it once again. Build my Planck with a CF plate, not sure about the switches yet: Either Marshmallows, Ghosts, Everglide Coral Reds or Kailh Creams with uhmwpe stems (say that 3 times in a row). Thanks to being Hotswap, which I normally hate (but is fine on a planck, as the layout is fixed) I don't habe settle on anything. I also have like 4 different springs, krytox 205 or 3203, and 105 for the springs lined-up. Gonna be a feast the next week or two.
@@shadowcore94 damn! sounds like you have a lot of experimenting and fun on your hands. Shame you sold a set you liked but hopefully what you have coming will make up for it. Haven't heard much about the everglide switches so if you do plan to use those I would love to hear about it but regardless, hope to see what you end up going with/what you test out

That touchpad soundtest was really good, the smoothness and how your finger glides on it is spot on.
really love this style of video from the glarses man, hope he covers more weird or vintage stuff in the future

just found your channel/ Subd.. how do you not have more subs/views?!?
ha. These are gold!
I got that ENTER key in a Pimp My Keyboard (Signature Plastics) grab bag, I couldn't work out what the hell kind of keyboard would have it, and now I know!
how do I buy that enter keycap. I looked on signiture plastics' website andi didn't see the enter key being listed. please help :)
I love how he was playing with the keys like action figures
Most under rated youtube video. Good product of quarantine. Two thumbs up definitely subscribing.
Hilarious review! The reason for the odd placement of some keys is that for retail use you would only use the lower half of the keyboard for most of the time.
Keys like Enter and Backspace are also standard on POS keyboards, so they are moved down so that someone working in the checkout would never need to use the upper half of the keyboard and accidentally hit one of the verious small keys that aren't used. In fact, most POS keyboards probably don't have the alphabet so you can type words on them!
This keyboard makes the shift key look like a 'shit key'
"and here is the sound of me scratching the trackpad" lol
this review made me a fan. i'm subscribing XD
Looks like the keyboard you would find on Spaceball 1, I loved the reference, subbed.
We need an entire series of keycap battles
I agree
It's so weird it's worth having as a beautiful eye sore lol
absolutely. I keep it on top of my desk to look at and grimace, just for the fun of it
"I went to backspace, which forever, on any kind of keyboard, has always been IN THE TOP RIGHT"
*Glances awkwardly at thumb-cluster backspace*
I don’t even remember how I found this channel but these vids are amazing
Had a few boards back in summer (10 lots of cherry g80-1800s), which all had pre-tooled mx blacks from around 2003.
After ultrasonic cleaning they were honestly great, but i'm sure the time this board was released, the batches/tooling was bad af
It seems that way! I've not found a massive amount of information but it seems like anything from the early 2000s or before was decent, then there was a long period of bad tooling, then 2016-2018 made cherry were decent, and now it's apparently regressed again? Something like that?
@@Glarses Yeah, pretty much man. In 1994 they did a retooling and some batches were good, some where bad. Anything before this time period are classed as "vint blacks", with better tooling and of course the factor of being worn in for years and years. (Now another retooling in 2017, with all batches being retooled blacks)
I have doubt that mine were a good batch, but they were used in a German office for god knows how many years before they were sold off cheap.
Glad to see you doing some more research though, and keep up the good content! :D
@@sidders5023 aha I see! I really enjoy learning about the history of switches and whatnot (although it is a bit difficult to find online), I have heard of a lot of inconsistency in the quality of vintage blacks - why is it that some people rave about them ans others not so much? Was there really that much inconsistency in QA back then?
@@Glarses I'm going to guess that there was a lot of inconsistency, but it can also come down to condition of the switches and how much they have been worn in! If a board was really worn in but dusty and stuck in a closet for 10 years, it may feel terrible, but that has been worn in and kept in it's original box could be super nice.
As for where you can find information on older boards, check out deskthority's wiki and forum pages, along with a youtuber called "Chyrosran22" (< super cool).
i love these videos wtf
Oh hey sup q
Qlavier WHAT lmao glad you like 'em!
man the fighting was so funny i love this vids keep it up its to funny and good

hope your doing ok with all this nonsense going on! Maybe you will have more time to keep making these awesome vids. Thanks for your content m8
Thank you, really appreciate it - it hasn't been terrible so far; my uni is cancelled and it looks like I can't go outside anymore but apart from that, I have more free time. How are you finding things?
@@Glarses Well, it is getting worse and worse each day that passes here in the USA (east coast). I still have my job thankfully, but I am not sure if that will last much longer at this rate. We will see what the future brings us! Thanks for asking. Stay safe!
shot glad to hear you're still employed; I'll be praying things get better for all of us soon!
Wa
I am a offended.
where can I buy this...
I honestly really love this layout not for Typing it would be awful to type, but god it seems like it would be amazing for like an MMO
This keyboard is like the one kid who came in last but still got a medal because he still tried
do you write scripts to a video before you record or is it kinda in the moment when you talk?
I try to write main points that I want to say because when I would try with just a few headers I would go off on a tangent and never say what I wanted to say, so there are some jokes and things that I write in, but more often than not I'll leave in improvisation
I am impressed by the amount of entertainment that was extracted from a keyboard review. I'm new to the mechanical keyboard scene. Who knew it was so much fun!
Damn bra, just going through your first couple uploads. Your mechanical keyboard kung fu has come a long ass way in a few months, nice.
Love your videos man. Made my day
Great videos man. You’re hilarious, keep it up.
thanks for sound testing the touchpad for me really pushed me over the edge to buy this board
Little did he know around one year later he would be making a extra large enter button for Tubbo
I like looking at weird keyboard layout like these, and see how they've moved around the keys. The thing is, regardless of what layout they use, they still have to map it to a regular keyboard. For example how they've moved the -_ and =+ keys down to the right side below the letters, shift and return. They are still the same keys as the keys found to the right of 0 on a UK keyboard.
What this keyboard does extra is by adding the "Symbol Shift" key. It changes what key the letter keys are. So by pressing Symbol Shift, the keys N and M becomes the keys ,< and .> respectfully. But they've gone one extra step and made the K and L keys to also become ,< and .> but in a shifted state. This is very unusual. I do wonder what happens if you press Symbol Shift + Shift + N, does that result in < or does it remain as ,? The keyboard incorrectly labels | as ¦, so Z will output | and not ¦. The upper row becomes the numerical keys in shifted state. But there are some keys missing: `¬¦ [{ ]} are keys simply not available. Then there are some key states missing from Symbol Shift: ! on key 1! and ^ on key 6^ and ' on key '@ as well as ~ on key #~ are not on this keyboard. (By 1! 6^ '@ #~ I'm referring to them by the standard UK layout). Finally Alt Gr is missing, forcing you to press Ctrl+Alt to access Á É Í Ó Ú, but due to missing keys, you can't access ¦ €, unless you can press Ctrl+Alt+Symbol Shift+E$ to make €.
There are two blank keys. Right of L is one blank key in the normal state, and right of M is one blank key in both normal and Symbol Shifted state. What do these keys do? Are these the missing keys? Could you tell which symbols these outputs using normal, shifted and Symbol Shifted states? Maybe ' is available here? Because it isn't available from any other key and it is a common English symbol.
just found this channel, so on point and funny!
need a non-staggered build around a square ENTER now. or otherwise standard but with the enter rows non-staggered?
edit. or just plop that bad boi in dead center of a build and let the rest of the keys figure it out.
Would love to see you do a video on the Maltron.
Now I want a keyboard with an even bigger Enter key that just says NUKE
I actually picked up a few beige versions of this board which had more sublegends on the alpha keys so that I could throw them on a 40% and have legends for everyhitng and for that I think these are cool boards, but yeah, I wouldn't recommend them for use lol
The “ugh” when he pressed the space bar got me lmao
Dude I don't even know why keyboards are cool or really care BUT I keep coming back for your entertaining way of presenting them. Keep it up Glarses
Please I really hope you get the attention and game you deserve one day! Love you man
This keyboard is the only worse than crumbs in your bed.
ah fuck
It's 5am and I have been binging your videos, they so good
"look how mighty that is. that's not normal" lmao
I recently got into making resin keycaps and damn do I want to mold that magestic enter key
ngl i thought the touch pad was a scale. I see what kinda "Business" that keyboard owner gets down to ;)
this keyboard is not for typing, its for clerks to enter numbers all days so it makes sense to have the numpad in front
0:00 i like the futuristic concept of there being an enter key on the top and bottom of the keyboard. made me get it immediately. so far i have no regret buying it and its my favorite keyboard lol (this is jus me mocking the keyboard layout) (and this is just a long comment the no one will read, like, or reply. sitting at the very bottom of the funny jokes said by many, many viewers just waiting for their Holy Pandas to arrive.)

Love the fact during the sound test when he was pressing the space bar
You can hear the amount of disgust in that “ugh”
it was so unsatisfying
Its for commercial use. I worked at amazon before and they had computers with only keypads and keys for their program, that looks like it goes to a cash register and the f keys are for the different options on the screen. But you wont do a lot (if any) typing words, itll mainly be for numbers and those f keys
I love your outro, it's the best
I absolutely loved that he left the green screen on the fake explosion😂 no drag and drop keying effect ahah
Man, I'm not even particularly interested in keyboards at all, but your videos are great and I support this!
That enter button looks very satisfying to press tho
Having developed muscle memory exclusively on a Petco cashier's keyboard means I actually want a keyboard like this.
This is a perfect ad “mouse and keyboard all in one”!
I used to deliver to and fit these in to Argos, I think Boots used to use them too.
Has the air of an erstwhile Dr Who prop, or somesuch.
Woah... Just woah.... You got me interested in keyboards for 10 minutes. Good Work.
Love your sense of humor bruh
I love imagining how it would be trying to type with other layouts using weird keyboards like these.
German; due to [{ missing, you'll never be able to type Ü, to type Ö and Ä, you press Symbol Shift and press C for Ö, V for ö, O for Ä and ä is missing. You won't be able to type { } [ ] due to missing Alt Gr + numerical key combination, unless Ctrl+Alt+Symbol Shift works, then Y U I O will give you these symbols. Y and Z will be swapped as expected.
French; due to the AZERTY layout moving M up to the left of L, this will make it awkward to access. Press Symbol Shift and C for M and V for m. Due to the numbers and symbols being swapped around on the number bar, pressing Symbol Shift and Q W E R T Y U I will no longer give symbols, but instead the digits 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 0. Missing 1 and 6.
Other languages will be messy as well. This isn't a good keyboard.
as a speaker enthusiast i feel the same way about your speakers, they have the TINIEST woofers IVE EVER SEEN. My headphone speakers are bigger and the enclosure is made out of thin see thru plastic. it makes me cringe just seeing it in the back
