I’ve never seen a small TH-cam channel this good man, like cmon dude ur explanation is 10/10
Nativenugget stop… you’re making me blush. Thanks for watching the video man, I really appreciate it! Have a great day and happy typing!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha He's actually right, this channel is underated, definitely deserves more. Clear and Expressive explenations. Well Done!
@@ImAMaleCatOfficial 😁😁😁
@@chukwubuikemoguagha mechanical are inferior to membrane lol ive opened brand new mechanical keyboards and the keys dont even work when they click and you gotta mush it all way down just to respond. the complexity of em makes em more failure prone than membrane.
Aged well
No background music. No ads. Straight into the point.
Lol thank you Epic, I try. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
there is
@@chukwubuikemoguaghaLol thank you Chukwubuikem oguagha, I try. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
but there's background music

I give u 2 years and you will be a huge channel on TH-cam. Mark my word. Great explanation, good charisma on camera, professional speaker ect. Ect. Ect. Good job bro. Keep grindn and perfecting your craft & dont limit yourself on solely gaming. Get a dope 3 sec intro for the same video everytime. Watched a few of your vids. U underrated an need more exposure. Good vid man
YO THANKS MAN! I really appreciate that, you know sometimes i think to myself “Am i really doing this well” but thanks for reassuring me. That definitely is great motivation for me to go harder and do more. Thanks so much HODChief!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha yeah man you’re doing great fr. Maybe eq the lows& compress the audio in post recording too. Its slight but details like that separate you from the amateurs. People love watching Quality videos all around.. felt like i was watching a pro who just could use a lil constructive criticism. Don’t shy away from paying for promo on TH-cam to reach more people other than who is searching for a specific video too. I could go on an on.. just wanted to say you’re doing great bro. Focus on the little things now. I subbed an looking forward to seeing more vids & the progression!
Thanks so much for the support im keeping ALL of this in mind, i really needed it. God Bless you man, have a great day!

we are halfway there
th-cam.com/video/HXT6Mv_6Wyk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KyyVqELqWBcLmHGH here’s the video you wanted-upgrading a membrane keyboard!
This was super entertaining for me, a millennial (loved the Avatar reference), and very informative. I was hooked. I watched many big yt channels regarding this issue, so I had the general idea. But with this video. I can say I am well versed. Thank you for you work.

I don't know when you started your channel-- I just clicked on your video by chance, but you honestly deserve way more views and subscribers. I was trying to figure out what kind of keyboard to get, and thanks to your informative vid, I figured out I wanted both a membrane and mechanical keyboard. Membrane one for work (cause I do lots of online teaching/video calls, so I don't want ppl hearing me and getting annoyed while tying lol), and a mechanical one because I purely enjoy typing and like that tactile and audible feedback (so I can switch to this one whenever I'm just typing docs or when I'm on break). Thanks again man, and I appreciate you splitting up your vids based on what you're discussing. Some content creators don't consider that stuff. Good luck with everything!
Hey Jerri, sorry about the late reply but thank you soooooooooooo much for your appreciation. I'm so happy I was able to help you and that you took notice of some of the little things on my channel, I really appreciate that! I hope you type to your hearts content man, happy to help anytime. Thanks for watching the video and supporting the channel! Have a great day man, happy typing!
Great video! I love how he gave equal arguments for every type of keyboard without being biased. 👍
Thanks Haybail, yea they all have their pros and cons, definitely had to be fair lol. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
This helped A LOT for my search in the "perfect" keyboard for me. Thanks so much
Great video man! explaining well and talking like a friend. Thank you for explaining ♥
Got the point in the first half, stuck around to the end anyway because it was genuinely interesting and fun to watch.. How is this channel not bigger??
I guess things take time😅, thanks so much for the kind words Faglerwagen I really appreciate them!
Good work bro!! No. of people subscribed doesn't conclude the quality of video. This video is an example of that.
Good video buddy, the way you speak and explain makes everything so easy to understand. Good luck!
You cleared up alot of things for me, I just got my first mechanical keyboard. Pretty happy with the decision now. Cheers mate good video👍
Thanks Jake! Im happy I was able to help man, thanks for watching and enjoy your keyboard!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha keep doing it bro, Australia checking in here 👍
Explanations like this are so fun and interesting to watch and even the way you speak and explain. Never gets you bored
Wow! You gave detailed information and really helped in what to order for work in office. Thank you soo much guy! 😊
This is one of the best reviews I've seen. Thank you!
No problem Juan! Happy to help, have a great day man!
Super professional and interesting video, especially for a small TH-camr. Good job.
I haven't continued the vid but I already love the energy
Bro the way you explain and etc, is amazing. is a rest from all youtube overwhelming reviews out there.( and finally i learned wht i needed)
Hey Primero, thank you so much man! Happy to have helped you, my pleasure! Thanks for watching and have a great day, happy typing!
Id like to note that mechanical keybaords can bee wayy more silent than membranes. They also are more silent than opticals as there are no optical silent switches yet. Also mechanical boards can be alot easier to press than membrane ones. Great video :)
Yooooooooo thank you for all those clarifications Stickman! You just taught me so much and i needed it lol. If you know anything else please feel free to tell me and/or correct me, its the only way I'll get better. I'd like the next time I talk about keyboards to be a more well versed video!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha glad that i could help! Ima watch ur other videos when i have time on the weekend!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha (sorry for my bad english) but you could know too that there were alot of tests to see if optical keyboards were actually better for gaming than mechanical ones and the improvement was super minimal
@@stickmananimations2297 Ahh I see, do you have a link to those tests/studies I'd love to see them, if not then thats fine I'll research them on my own as well
@@stickmananimations2297 Awesome, thanks man!
this video is so good. im trying to figure out what keyboard to get and every video i watch just acts as if i should already know all this stuff. your video is perfect because it tells what i am going to pay and exactly what i am going to get. thanks!
Hey Staraway, I’m so happy this helped you man😁, yea i made the video because i had the same issues so I’m so happy this was able to help you with your journey. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day man, happy typing!
This was a super helpful video man thanks!
Thank you for this precise and detailed explanation! It helped me to make my decision!!! 🖖🏽
Hey André, what decision did you make? (I'm just curious 😅) Either way I'm happy I was able to help! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
This was super entertaining and insightful. Kudos!
Thanks Christian I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!

Like many people said, you my guy, are good. Never seen a small youtube channel being this good at explaining something. Props to you homie.
Nice video man, learned a lot from this.
Thanks Tanishnani! I'm happy you enjoyed the video, makes me want to make more. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it. Have a great day and happy typing!
I loved this video. Great explanation of all the keyboards. I had a membrane in my early years, and it had to be replaced often. I am a very heavy typer, on the computer all the time. I went from that, to my very first mechanical keyboard, which was blue switches. I loved it, even loved the sound. The feel was so much superior for me over the membrane. My E cap was wearing down, and replacing the keycaps were just too much for me, as it cost the same as the keyboard, so I opted to replace it with an optical switch keyboard. Mine is the Apex Pro by SteelSeries. There is one thing about optical you did not mention that I thought I would bring up here.
Since the keyboard relies on light in order to actuate, the actuation point can be adjusted. You can have it set so that an extremely light tap of the key so it barely moves will actuate it, or, you can make it so that you have to bottom the key out in order to actuate it. That is how the SteelSeries Apex Pro works. I love it. So during games, I can have my WASD keys very sensitive, yet, I can make the key for throwing a bomb require a further press so that I do not accidently press it. You can even set one key to do two different things with "Dual actuation", which the SteelSeries has. Not all keyboards with optical switches have these features though. There are a few limitations though to such a setup. First, since you can adjust the actuation, these keyboards do not come in the brown or blue style switches. They are all in the style of reds (AKA linear). For me, I find if I set the key to be 100 percent bottom out requirement, sometimes they won't register. Similarly, if I set it to completely sensitive, I find the keys will easily accidentally register. So having them at the extremes is not the best idea. It's amazing how far keyboards have come from the late 90's. I love it!
this is the best explenation i have EVER seen. great vid. sub count suprised me, should be much higher
Best explanation video, especially from a young TH-camr love it man ❤️
This Channel is underated, clear & expressive explenation, easy to understand.

Awesome video, informative and to the point!
Ayye, happy im able to help man. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
amazing vid dude keep the good work!
thanks ive been trying to learn about keyboards to one day make my own and this video has been the most helpoful
I just got a mechanical and I love it’s clicky switches. I didn’t even know about optical keyboards. Thanks for the run down and not using a bunch words I don’t understand lol!
You deserve a lot more recognition bro! great content!!
great review. i love your work
Great video, just right into the point!
Thanks Andreas! Happy I was able to help! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day man, happy typing!

i gotta say u deserve a 1million subs dude ur underated thanks i understand everything i have membrane keyboard for 4 years desiciding to change to mechanical for gaming i think i am gonna make on my own custom one thanks a lot
Im very happy this video was able to help you man, thats what i do it for! Hope you enjoy whatever keyboard you get, have a great day and happy typing!
I don’t even have a computer but when I have I’ll watch your vid again, Thanks
Lol
good job on creating this vid.. love it and keep it up
Thanks Majic, I will! Have a great day and happy typing!
this is surprisingly so good explanation for video of 1k views, you should have 100x times that at least, you explained it simply and so good. i dont care about customization and rgb, but i preffer fastest stuff and durable, so kinda optical sounds like my type, hope ill find wireless and silent keyboard
Thanks Nostalgic that comment means a lot. I hope I 100x one day lol. And you'll definitely find a wireless silent one, there are great options out there. Or you could even mod the keyboard if youd like, which is very doable. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
I was used to membrane keyboards because of school and I didn't like them because of the feel of them (like 5 years ago), but I thought all the keyboards that look like those were going to feel the same, I liked laptop keyboards more and I decided to go with MX Keys but my fingers started to feel tired after a day of work, I used it for 4 months then I started to search for alternatives and found the different types of keyboards, now I'm using keychron Q1 and it's been great, feels great and sounds great if you're willing to mod it. You really deserve more views, Subscribed.
Thanks for telling your story, I loved reading it! Yea finding the perfect keyboard is a journey for sure and we're all usually introduced to keyboards with crappy ones lol but I'm happy to see you got one that you like. I was thinking of getting the Keychron as well, funny enough. If I ever do I'll probably make a video about that. Thanks for subscribing as well it truly means a lot to me! Welcome to the community, thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
Very informative video, thank you
Underrated as hell man! Helped a lot. I ain’t even know optical keyboards were even different from Mechanical
Hey Bendymendy, thanks I really appreciate that! Yea its subtle but important lol. Thanks for watching the video, have a great day and happy typing!

Thanks Camille☺️. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day! Happy typing!
I never knew the differences between the two until about a day ago. However when I first got a quiet keyboard it was such relief.
what keyboard did you get? I too am looking for a quiet keyboard.
Great Video!. Thanks🙂
Great video, I learned a lot. I just bought my first mechanical keyboard, a Corsair K95 with blue clicky keys. I love it! It's time to toss all my old Dell membrane keyboards collected over the years.
LMAO, I remember the day I did the same Mr Tunapie. (What a great username btw lol. It sounds like it should be a song. "Aint no guy like Mr Tunapie" I can literally hear it now 😂) The Corsair K95 is a GREAT keyboard. I know you'll love it for years to come. Happy you enjoyed my video, thanks for watching and have a great day Mr Tunapie!
great video! Earned a sub. Keep it up.
AYYYE, thanks Chaz, welcome to the community! Happy you liked the video, hope I make more videos for you to enjoy. Thanks for watching and have a great day, happy gaming!

LMAO, thanks Paulo! I try to be fun and your comment just encouraged me a lot! Needed this. Thanks for watching the video man, have a great day and happy typing!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha same to you pal c;
Very well done
Useful video. Thanks.
No problem SaintSanti, happy to help man! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day! Happy Gaming!
Immediately subbed cuz of that legendary intro 😂
dude that intro was amazing.
Keyboard switches can be rubber dome (membrane or capacitive), cross contact (cherry MX and many others go here), plate spring (alps), buckling spring (membrane or capacitive), beamspring, hall effect, optical, reed switch, scissors, magnetic valve... probably a bunch of other switches I'm not thinking of right now. Each of these types of switch sound, feel, and electrically behave completely differently. It's really neat to look into how they work.
Rubber dome keyboards are usually cheap, but don't forget about Topre, who makes extremely nice capacitive rubber dome keyboards that cost hundreds of dollars. Also, while not rubber dome, ye olde Model M is actually a membrane keyboard. The buckling spring mechanism causes a flipper to drop down on two membranes, pushing them together to make contact.
Playboi!!!! Bro I wish I had some of these videos when I was building my PC and picking my keyboard. Got input from my peeps that said mechanical. But didn’t really tell me why. Great vids as always! We gotta run a game sometime, if you not busy with the content creation of course.
Bro of course, I'll add you on PSN. I just found it on your twitch and I'll give you a follow there too. I'm not really on twitch like that but I'm always down to support how I can!
See that is why I fwu! I appreciate that! Same goes here boss!
Good video covering the 3 most common variants. You forgot Hall Effect switches though - i.e. Lekker switches from Wooting or the Flux keyboards (granted the later is brand new and didn't exist a year ago) - also brand new in this matter DrunkDeer with budget keyboards using Hall Effect switches...
Holy smoke M.L, thanks for updating me. I was unaware of the new stuff tbh. I have to go check those out. And yea I knew about the hall effect switches but I figured they were too rare at the time to add to the video but if I ever update this video I'll make sure to put them in. Thanks for watching the video brother, have a great day and Happy Typing!
One new sub........Love you man
Thanks for the sub isaacsomuah!! Thanks for watching the video, I really appreciate it! Have a great day and happy gaming!
Great vid for noobs like me trying to figure out what keyboard i need!
continued success!....
Great Video i Feel like i learned a lot , going to get a mechanical key board
you are a good youtuber idk why your account is still small. Keep going forward man
Why doesn't this have more views?? Your video is so much more informative than videos with higher views out there.
Very good video, thank you
Thank you Manchitas😊, have a great day!
very good explanation.
Thanks Claire, i wanted to be as clear as possible. Happy I was able to help, thanks for watching and have a great day. Happy typing!
Don’t know who he is, but just for the first 20 seconds I know he deserves a like and a sub. Really funny
Thanks Pela, I really appreciate that😂, great profile pic btw. Have a great day!
Such a great explanation. You definitely will grow to 100K or 1M if you keep trying.
YO THANKS FOR THE LOVE QWERTY! With support like yours we can make it happen, thanks man! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha No problem. You deserve it as your videos are really good. Keep growing!
decided to try the membrane keyboard precision and see if it was actually true, got a few membrane keyboards my cousin doesn't use anymore. He used em for 6-2 years, plugged it into my pc and all of them didnt really have the sticky keys you were talkin about
U are the best small youtuber w mann
Thanks for letting me understand what's going on with these categories of keyboard key types.
Are there ortholinear (or staggered column) membrane keyboards? I'm thinking entry level nothing crazy. I have dyslexia and just want to see if the straight columns are easier for a dyslexic to touch-type on.
Very informative without going too deep into the mech jungle. I made that mistake two years ago when finding out mechanical keyboards exist. Spent way too much time looking at videos about "thock" when it all boils down to comfort. It was all too pricey until i finally found my entry point at 20 euros. It's not even hotswap but it has real switches, is wireless and compact sized, perfect to use with my laptop. Reason why i seem to like "browns" is because of the membrane feel being close to heart. Having spent decades typing on membranes, of course a linear press feels alien to me. Meanwhile "clickies" are plain annoying. Just a hint to other people wondering. It's down to your taste, there is no good or bad if 90's Logitech keyboards are your definition of feeling at home typing.
good guide easy to understand
