My first backed kickstarter project was the K2HE and ngl, I was worried since I really shelled out for all the bells and whistles, but I gotta say, I love it! I really couldn't ask for much more. What's a really pleasant surprise is how quiet it is. If you press gently, it still actuates while not making noise, but if you bottom the keys out, it makes a nice thocky sound.
Reviews are legit. I bought the K2HE during the kickstarter campaign and no joke it’s the “best keyboard” I’ve ever owned. Really glad to have gotten lucky for a change. Thanks for the content. Big fan.
my personal pick for the year is the keyboard i have rn, the keychron Q1HE. Build quality is honestly impressive, the double rail switches fix the annoying chatter HE switches tend to have, it is a bit pricy (stock prebuilt comes at like 220 euros), but it's worth it. Software is also great, maybe not as good as wootility, but honestly, it's still a pleasure to use. Also, moddability is way higher cause the layout is way more standard and keychron also sells acoustic upgrading kits and a brass plate should you want an upgrade. When it comes to specs for gaming, according to a couple spreadsheets i saw on reddit, it's even better than wooting when it comes to polling rate. So yeah, i'd take keychron over wooting any day, this thing i'm writing with is built like a tank, sounds great and if you swap the keycaps you can easily make it look really neat as well.
I like the sound and typing feel of the K2 HE, but it not as solid as me Lemokey P1, which I knew it wouldn't be, but it is not even close. I am going to go for the Lemokey H5 HE. I thought about the Q1 HE, but I couldn't get my Q1 Pro to sound quite how I wanted.
I recently purchased a Keychron K2HE. I was coming from a Roccat Vulkan Pro TKL so this is my first "proper keyboard" and all I can say is that I love it. It has got a very pleasant sound and is comfortable to type on. For gaming it works well too. I am new to m&kb and didn't realise my old keyboard was actually making things harder. Definitely would recommend.
It's so nice to have you back! I am excited for your new content and the more casual (but still highly informative) side of things! I think it's going to be a good year for the keeb community! Thanks for continuing to contribute!!!
Thanks to your coverage of the Lofree Lite I went for it. I just received mine recently and the Nuphy went out the window instantly. Really appreciate the detailed overviews, etc all the time. Saved me a bundle and a disappointment as I was going to grab the older Lofree version from Amazon. I’ve always used Tactile switches so I’m stunned how much I like the stock linear switches in the Lite. I’m seriously considering getting the quieter version though for certain workspaces though compared to the chunky sounding Nuphy the Spectres are already quieter. My favourite part though is the feel. Using the Nuphy it was like typing on a two-by-four with keys. This is a gorgeous typing experience. Comfortable to type on without losing the thock. Having the adjustable feet is nice even with the weird rubber attachments. Also having a place for the 2.4ghz dongle is always a + though I wish in 2025 it was a usb c dongle. It would’ve cost maybe 1 dollar more to have usb c dongles made vs using the existing stock of usb a dongles. I also mostly I like the look. I have the white 87% and it has the look of what an Apple Mechanical keyboard would look like. I say mostly because there’s a couple of things about the look I don’t particularly like. See cons section. The only things I don’t particularly enjoy (aka cons) include: 1. All plastic build - I’d actually be ok with it being a bit less portable. That said it’s very sturdy for an all plastic build. 2a. The forehead. I’m not a fan. I think it detracts from the look a bit but with the volume spinner I guess they needed it. 2b. That logo. I hate, I mean HATE having logos stuck in my face. I know who I bought a product from thank you very much and if someone asks I’ll happily tell them. They don’t need to peer over my shoulder to get a look at the logo to find out the name of the company. It would’ve been ok if they just used their O shaped logo mark. That would’ve been subtle enough imo to be fine. 3. A minor gripe. I don’t like the gold colour of the spinner. It looks cheap & cheapens the overall look. A simple black, grey, silver or even better white coloured spinner would’ve been preferred. 4. It should’ve come with a usb c dongle instead of a usb a dongle imo. Summary: When you combine the pros and cons though this is easily my favourite low profile keyboard to date and is already my daily driver. The important stuff like typing feel is so far ahead of others (especially Nuphy) I can live with the cosmetic things I’d like to be different. Also even though I counted the all plastic build as a bit of a con this is also now my portable daily driver due to its weight so I guess in a way the all plastic build is a pro and con. Note: I used to carry either an old Lenovo wireless keyboard (the one that looks like they ripped it right off the Lenovo laptop - it still has 1 of the best typing experiences in any keyboard portable or desktop I’ve ever found. Sadly the battery is almost dead after all these years. My other portable keyboard used to be the Apple Keyboard. It’ll be nice to have a mechanical for on the go as well. I’m considering getting a full size Lite for my desk and moving this one permanently to my laptop bag. Thanks for another great review/overview. Have a great 2025. Christopher
Thank you! I purchased the Aula F99 as I prefer a keyboard with a numpad. And it feels really premium! Thanks for sharing. Why not make a review for the F99? I believe people are interested on it too. I actually prefer the F99 over the pro version as I prefer one without a knob. Thanks!
@@dwickyramadhan8772 I don't have the pro model to make a real world comparisson. The pro has the following differences. 1. volume knob F99 can control volume up and down via Fn+ F11 and F12 2. south facing RGB im not picky with north or south. I think north is better as I can use shine through keycaps. I don't plan replacing key caps anytime soon so this does not matter to me. Some say to get south for cherry profile compatibility. However the F99 uses cherry key caps it seems, so the orientation does not really matter. 3. No 'end' key I use the end key for excel, the pro does not have this (don't know if there is a Fn+ for it, will most probably have). 4. numpad, double size 0 this is a plus, im not bothered with a smaller 0 on the non-pro 5. switches the pro in my country only have greywood shaft and star axis as choices. 6. battery indicator the pro has a smaller indicator between Esc and F1 key. The non pro has this indictor between the keypad and numpad (where the hm, pgup, pgdn keys are on the pro version). Good luck. The F99 reaper is really a great keyboard to type on. Now im curious what the other switches feel like. Greywood v4 is also available. Debates on Reaper vs Greywood are a lot.
The lack of cross compatibility with HE switches, and low number of options, is the main reason why I haven't considered trying one. Would like to see some standardization there. This is true of low profile keyboards too, which I prefer, but I haven't gone with low profile for the same reason.
I got an Epomaker TH80 Pro off of your spreadsheets. Been happy with it for the most part, as I could put in the switches I wanted on them. The Rainy 75 looks great but overall, outside of the fairly awful Epomaker software, it's been a big W for me. Thanks for all of your recommendations!
I just received my keychron k2HE order, black-wood with resin palmrest for me and a white-wood one for my girlfriend. We both love them crazy good quality for the price and wireless!!! And they sound THOCK AF.
Have you considered reviewing the Monsgeek M1W V3 or the new V5? Akko don't seem to be doing a very good job marketing it and sponsoring reviews, but I have it and really like it, would love to hear your opinions on it. The V3 VIA and V5 both support VIA, come with a knob and lots of foam, good switches and keycaps, and the V5 has quick release.
I'd like to see what more people have to say about it. The V3 is my first custom keyboard and all getting it did for me was make me curious to know how other metal keyboards sound and feel compared to it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
You should get the irok 75pro and do a review on it and show us how to take it apart because I can not find out how to take it apart so I could modify it.
The Evo80 is the only one I don’t hate on this list solely due to the ball-catch mechanism. The Bridge75 and Chilkey nd75 are my top picks for the perfect mix of adjustability (w/ the ball-catch system), affordability, and aesthetics (entirely subjective but I’m just not a huge fan of the rainy75 colorways).
The lofee flow lite seems perfect for me except I can't find an ISO-DE layout? Is there an option I'm missing or is it not available in ISO-DE? Also the backlighting is only white I guess which I dislike. Other than that I love the clean look, size and sound.
@@mateusabdelnour2323 I have owned both of these, the ajazz has a more comfortable gasket mount and if you hand lube the gift switches it can sound very creamy and thocky, the aula doesn't have a real gasket mount which is slightly less comfortable but it has the potential for a deeper thockier sound when using the same switches (for the most thock I recommend the akko rosewoods) the only issue I have had with the aula is that windows really doesn't want me to install their software and I found a reddit post saying it makes multiple connections with a Chinese server which I don't feel comfortable with.
got an F99 and an AK992. Out of the box the Aula was a ton better, but the ak992 is kinda more of a budget board as its not wireless. After modding I now use the AK992 more, I do not like gasket flex and modded my AK992 to practically remove it. I tried Akko Creamy yellows and Akko rosewoods. The rosewoods are so nice and very cheap.
Hi, what keyboard would you recommend with a german layout (qwertz,ä,ü,ö)? My budget is up to 200€. I love the rainy 75, but i will have to stick to the german layout since i need it for work. Extra buttons, Screens are a huge bonus. I was thinking about a wireless keyboard, but it only makes sense if it has a 2.4ghz option(for some intense gaming) and a decent battery (longer than 24hours). Up until now i used the G213, but its performance is going downhills :(. ty in advance
Most companies have moved away from this layout, cuz they sell numeric keypads separately, like the Meletrix Zoompad. Essentially, this allows them to make double the money 🤑
Typing on Lofree Flow Lite gives me severe joint pain in my fingers even for a short paragraph, especially the DIP joints. I have to take Ibuprofen while using it. 100% a joint crusher. 40g low profile switch is totally different from a 40 MX switch. For low profile, membrane keyboard is still the best, tons of good stuff out there in the market, ie. Magic keyboard, MS designer compact keyboard, Logi Pop Icon Keys, Thinkpad Trackpoint keyboard ii, etc. None of those cause RSI of small joints like Lofree Flow Lite.
Any FULL SIZE mechanical keyboards you would recommend? I know full size are not popular, but I LOVE the sound, feel, and weight of the Rainy and the RK-S98
have you tried just not turning off the keyboard and see if there is any noticeable battery difference? It might just be so low draw, that with a speedy auto-off system, you never need to turn it off manually. Idk just thinking out loud. My wireless lasts a long time without ever turning it off.
I just bought the Aula F75 (ice vein) for 85 aud, and honestly, it's probably my best purchase. Makes me not feel bad for spending 189 aud for the razer viper v3 pro mouse xD
I discovered/purchased a Keyboard on Amazon that was only $19.99 (Xmas Holidays sale) & discovered it is the best RGB Mechanical Keyboad I've ever used/owned. I was so impressed that I bought 6 more for Family Xmas Gifts which I have now been informed that they all felt the same as me. Even at the regular MRSP of $39.99, said Keyboard is a Steal ...so I went ahead & purchased 12 more at the current sale price for future use if/when they are needed. 😀
Great price though if you need 12 backup keyboards I worry a bit about the build quality. ;) What is the name of this magical keyboard? It might be worth looking at. Thank you so much.
@@Christopher-today I build alot of PC's - YEYIAN Spark Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 87 TKL RGB LED - The Build quality is absolutely great which is also indicated by it's heavy (Military-grade steel alloy & Plate-mounted mechanical keys ) weight.
I'm having a hard time finding a keyboard with a separate but matching number pad. So many of these companies don't even make a stand alone number pad, and if they do they are sold out or there is no option for backlit.
@@fata__morgana I want a 75% keyboard and then I want to put my trackball in to the right of the keyboard and then have the number pad to the far right side of the trackball.
If you test, summarize it in table, which has keyboard properties as dimensions like low profile, Key pressure (30g, 45g), switch type (magnetic, non click), quiet (db) . Without the comparison table, hard to tell the real physics from the contents. Can you?
Hey, I'm based in Germany and sadly there are only a few iso keyboards. Is there something comparable to the Aula F75 (Ice Vein) in feel & sound with an iso layout? Don't care how much it costs, even if it's 300€
Thank you for your great videos! Would you mind sharing your personal preference between Keychron K2HE and Nuphy Halo65HE in terms of productivity typing feel, speed and sound? Thank you!
Are you going to check out the HE version of the Rainy75 ? You’re the only reason I know the Rainy75 exist but sadly I’m in the market for a HE keyboard and it’s the “best” looking one aesthetically for me.
Rainy 75 would be great if they didnt have wireless connection issues and repairing and having to take off the keycap to turn it off and on is a huge bummer. Had 3 of them and they all had wireless problems.
i’m so confused with the rainy75 being 99 cause every time i’ve seen it where it’s available it’s at least $160 and at that price it no longer becomes a good choice for me anymore…anyways that doesn’t matter now cause i’m kinda interested in an HE keeb now…
Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm in love with the looks, feel, performance and sound of my NuPhy Air75 V2, but I'm having trouble with the shorter right Shift button: I keep on hitting the up or left arrows by accident. Are there alternatives that are basically identical in touch and feel but have an 80% TKL layout?
See I would have had a K2HE but when I bought it it said that it was all wood and aluminum which ended up just being false. I had a email fight with them about it and they still made me pay for shipping. EXTREMELY disappointing experience
I consider price a downside if the price-quality ratio is of, or if I can't afford it (even if price quality ratio is good). First reason is objective, second subjective. 😂
Please be honest with using sound tests when comparing, as the Aula F75 with Graywood switches sound test is Aula F99, which is a different sounding board than when using Graywood switches on F75.
I’ve been really happy with my Aula F75, which I bought late last December. It’s very comfortable to type on and has a great sound as well.
If only the Rainy75 had a knob and a better toggle switch location

@@dwickyramadhan8772 I don't have the pro model to make a real world comparisson.
The pro has the following differences.
1. volume knob
F99 can control volume up and down via Fn+ F11 and F12

im not picky with north or south.
I think north is better as I can use shine through keycaps. I don't plan replacing key caps anytime soon so this does not matter to me. Some say to get south for cherry profile compatibility. However the F99 uses cherry key caps it seems, so the orientation does not really matter.
3. No 'end' key
I use the end key for excel, the pro does not have this (don't know if there is a Fn+ for it, will most probably have).
4. numpad, double size 0
this is a plus, im not bothered with a smaller 0 on the non-pro
5. switches
the pro in my country only have greywood shaft and star axis as choices.

If you test, summarize it in table, which has keyboard properties as dimensions like low profile, Key pressure (30g, 45g), switch type (magnetic, non click), quiet (db) . Without the comparison table, hard to tell the real physics from the contents. Can you?
Can you do a best full keyboard video by any chance as someone who plays army simulators I need a numpad
Evo80 is not gasket but leaf spring mount, I believe.
are these all stock or all moded?
Hey, I'm based in Germany and sadly there are only a few iso keyboards.
Is there something comparable to the Aula F75 (Ice Vein) in feel & sound with an iso layout?
Don't care how much it costs, even if it's 300€
i have both the aula and rainy, my fav keyboard for sure
Can you make a video about TKL and ISO?
Thank you for your great videos! Would you mind sharing your personal preference between Keychron K2HE and Nuphy Halo65HE in terms of productivity typing feel, speed and sound? Thank you!
Happy new year!
What makes a fast mechanical conventional qwerty keyboard?
If we put Betty with the same text behind each of these boards, would she be faster on some of them or will she have the same wpm on all of them?
Are you going to check out the HE version of the Rainy75 ? You’re the only reason I know the Rainy75 exist but sadly I’m in the market for a HE keyboard and it’s the “best” looking one aesthetically for me.
Unfortunately the Color I like for rainy75 is mostly sold out here in the UK and it is way more than 99 USD
Should i buy the Rainy75 or the AulaF75 , and if the Aula75 , should i get it off of AliExpress for around 50$ or Amazon for like 80$ ?
Isn’t the asus axoth extreme best build and switches keyboard on the market ?
Rainy 75 would be great if they didnt have wireless connection issues and repairing and having to take off the keycap to turn it off and on is a huge bummer. Had 3 of them and they all had wireless problems.
RIP Numpads (1981 - 2025)
My spreadsheets will miss you.
How do the mode and cyber keyboards fit in that list? Aren’t they just expensive or the higher price tag worth it?
because this channel doesn't focus on kustoms. like hipyo tech
@ I didn’t ask why, just asked how
@@DrZhenya sorry I misread your comment. I saw don't instead of do. And being off the point.
i’m so confused with the rainy75 being 99 cause every time i’ve seen it where it’s available it’s at least $160 and at that price it no longer becomes a good choice for me anymore…anyways that doesn’t matter now cause i’m kinda interested in an HE keeb now…
How is the ND75 from Chilkey?
Can't you flip the on off switch without taking the capkey off? Try sliding a thin screw driver or the edge of a key removal tool?
Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm in love with the looks, feel, performance and sound of my NuPhy Air75 V2, but I'm having trouble with the shorter right Shift button: I keep on hitting the up or left arrows by accident. Are there alternatives that are basically identical in touch and feel but have an 80% TKL layout?
How's about luminkey 65 and neo65?
Can you tape mod the aula f75 pls it’s the keyboard I have and I’m thinking of tape modeling it, but I wanna hear what it sounds like before
You bojo you should try the HJK 901 Typewriter style it’s perfect for me
No love for the leobog hi75?? How is that not on the list. That was the king of sound and value before rainy75 came around
i have an all black hi75 build. Probably because it's only available in wired. Still a great keyboard since I was able to get it for $27 xD
aula 75 is 30-35$ in my country, sure no.1 budget keyboard
No Mode Encore?
See I would have had a K2HE but when I bought it it said that it was all wood and aluminum which ended up just being false. I had a email fight with them about it and they still made me pay for shipping. EXTREMELY disappointing experience
capn u link screenshots?
Best full size keyboards with numpads?
would you be down to do an EU ISO also ? with the enter key cap on two rows ? :c
keychron k2he is available in iso layout. rainy75 offers an additional iso enter plate on their website
Evo80 has an ISO version as well, only available through their European retailer
What about based on layout? Hhkb, 60, 65, 75, tkl, alice...
I hope Rainy75 released low profile model like Chilkey ND75 LP
Can you review attack shark x86 full aluminum
Good list but it is missing the bridge75 plus
Can’t get any version of the Rainy75 for under $130 on Amazon right now 😔
Drop had them for $100 over Black Friday.
Yunzii AL68 is one of the best if you don't need the F keys.
can u review the attack shark x85???
I’m between the aula f75 and the rk r75 wireless. Which one should I pick?
Aula f75 - Ice vein switch is the best.
Surprised the Bridge75 wasn’t on this list
Why does the thumbnail say best of 2025?
About womier rd75 Pro instead Evo80 ma'am 😅
No 1800?
Plsss, can u do another video that u only had $50 to upgrade a keyboard?? I miss those vids
Where are the number pads?
at my house, come get them
That Lofree tho... might have to dip my toes in those low-pro waters.
I consider price a downside if the price-quality ratio is of, or if I can't afford it (even if price quality ratio is good). First reason is objective, second subjective. 😂
the ajazz ak820 pro is more budget than the aula f75 and for me its better
We can’t get a best Alice keyboards of the year. We need ergo mechanical options
No cidoo qk61 is wild
Aula F75 just is a King of p/p keyboard guys.
The price is between 20-50 dollars on Temu now
Keyboard lady knows her stuff.
no p75?
The first time I've actually been to a video within a day lol
Anyone knows how to ship rainy75 to europe?
Hi! Can you review royal kludge r75 pro? plsss
BTW aula was like 20$ on Temu
2024 maybe? Or you have an oracle orb?
nice vid mama betty
Not one with a num pad =/
Please be honest with using sound tests when comparing, as the Aula F75 with Graywood switches sound test is Aula F99, which is a different sounding board than when using Graywood switches on F75.
Just got aula f75
