Just a mom here trying to figure out a cool keyboard for my 15 year old for Christmas and I’m going with your #1 choice! I’m sad I missed the preorder for the keycaps! Hope you bring them back would have loved to pick them up for him! Subscribed to learn what gifts to give ❤ thanks for your easy to understand explanations P.s He absolutely loved the keyboard and was his favorite thing this Christmas! 🎄 thank you so much for the video!

im really loving that you did these top 5 videos right now becuase i am just finishing building my new PC and completely updating my gaming setup. ive been using the old Blackwidow V3 full, and old alienware mouse, so im looking to go all out. I only wish you could have covered more keyboards here. Im really hung up on so many options between Asus and Corsair and Razor, but at least with razor its as simple as BW v4 full or 75. The Corsair options are honestly endless, Asus too....i have such a hard time with decisions im really late on ordering my choices and struggling with it still. Im leaning more towards Asus but Corsair has such a uniqueness to it. Gotta have RGB either way and my entire setup is filled with a mix of ROG, Razor and Corsair and thats honestly where im happy keeping it at, rather than mixing in a lot of other brands and more software. Any chances of making a video going deeper on other runner up keyboard not mentioned here, but are from the top prebuilt brands? Im really looking for a serious video of what the best speaker options would be too. Even with razor i dont really know if speakers or soundbars are the way to go....always make sure to get the subwoofer though. I take my speakers serious becuase i edit and remix. Logitech is what ive had but its an older model and its tired and worn out. Their newer one with the rgb lights on the back dont look bad at all....but im really trying to keep with my 3 brands, razor, asus, or corsair....and corsair nor asus make speakers i dont believe.
I recommend Nuphy for anyone looking into getting a new keyboard. Not all of them are 2023 release but the Halo 75 is still one of my favorite purchases of 2023.
@@LeCaleb very solid out of the box. If you like RGB its Halo light is pretty cool. I got it with baby kangaroo switches and it is a great tactile feel. They give you a sample of all of their switches too. I’m not the biggest fan of linear but they felt good. And most of all is their ghost space bar. Perfect sounding space bar.
@@LeCaleb might i recommend looking at Pulsar for a mouse? I don’t know how to judge the your grip style for your preferred shape. But I have tried 6 mice over the past year and so far my Pulsar XLite V2 remains my preferred option.
I own the new razer 75 in white and the azoth white with nx snow and I love them both ! Can’t go wrong with either I enjoy them as much as my custom keyboards I’ve built over the years both razer and Asus are setting a high level for big brands to join the custom world , it’s exciting going forward to see them keep producing and pricing is coming down some of some customs which is nice ! Great video as always !!!!!
Its been 5 months since this comment, im planning on buying the Razer 75%, what your thoughts on it cause i heard some bad reviews regarding the double tapping
@@CristofWhen I ended up selling mine with that said I had no issues with it , went with a wireless keyboard instead , the 8k polling was nice in shooters though
Azoth is one of the very few kb where the F1 key is directly above the 1 key; everyone else has the F1 offset to the right which creates a gap between it and ESC for no good reason. this also means the F12 is directly above the = key. the comfort of this alignment cannot be overstated.
I just got a fully modded azoth, pe foam, tape mod, akko switches, white caps... And I can tell you, the feel of quality is there. It's heavy, aluminium, sturdy, and after 20 years of using wired kbs, Im nope hooked on the wifi. In games, I seen no difference and it's just wow. The dial is tactile too.
I've had a huntsman mini for 3 years now and recently bought a yunzii pro 75. For the price the HM is so not worth it, but I also can't hate on it either I just know I won't be going back to razer anytime soon (in any of their products).

@@farmeunit holy shit someone who isn't a clueless consumer believing in randomfrankp's misinformation in these comments and actually knows their shit? Quite surprised lol
Hey Frank, you think you could make a video with up to date keycaps of your favorites. But also break down the differences between PBT, ABS, and GMT. I dont know if keycaps are specifically designed for a mechanial board or different switches. Perhaps some keycaps that are non RGB transparent vs some that illuminate evenly. Textured vs non textured, Ive seen you mention some caps here & there but im still lost. I'm sure others are as well in this part of the industry
Sad to see Corsair abandon Cherry. I am not surprised because the sentiment around Cherry has been generally bad for a long time, but I still like Cherry switches the best and I liked that Corsair stuck with them. That said, I didn't really like much else about Corsair keyboards so I suppose it's not a huge loss, but still less and less Cherry options is not great for me
Bought myself a Keychron V6 (with Keychron Red switches) few months ago, from a Cooler Master mechanical keyboard with Cherry Red. Night and day difference. And works amazingly on Linux
The Rog Scope 2 96 Nx Snow i just bought is an Awesome all- rounder. Luv the switches; a joy to type and play. Quiet thock, even my space bar is solid. Wireless is flawless. No regrets.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on all these keyboards i had some of these in my considerations when buying my new keyboard. I ended up going for the K70 Max with the magnetic mechanical switches that also can have 2 different actuation points per key. Main reason i ended up with the corsair one was so i would not need another piece of software. Now i wish i had a chance to compare it to all the keyboards i were interested in, but i went from a K70 MK.2 Low profile and this keyboards feels so much better and i loved my old keyboard but decided to get a new one since some keys randomly decided to stop working. Any chance you have a K70 max review upcoming? Would be nice to hear the opinions of someone that has had access to the amount of keyboards you have. Anyways, thanks for an informative video and keep up the great work!
Yes but if people are going to take this list as something they should buy, they are better off getting the better product even if it did not release this year
It's titled appropriately. Swap subjects. Would you go to a "Top 5 Touchdowns of 2023" video looking for the best touchdowns from the 2021 season? The answer is no.
@@randomfrankp I get what the title is about, unfortunately a lot didn't. The title is appropriate don't get me wrong but if people cant seem to understand what its about then its best to change it. Title of a video is there to convey what its about in a single sentence. If its unable to do so for this many people, even if its completely appropriate and correct, better to change it then create confusion. "best keyboards released in 2023" would have a LOT less people spamming wooting.
It can't be everywhere. And just cause it has RT and SOCD/snap tap, doesn't mean it's the best. I think many players wouldn't have much use for it. I own the azoth, and couldn't be without arrows and volume dial. Also the kb is wireless, feels extreme premium like crazy, and a after tape, pe foam and lube mods, the kb is basically a gaming custom that thoccs. Insane good kb
@@XeoVGR well yes. My point is a good gaming kb doesn't necessarily have to have the rapid trigger or socd (which any kb can have). 80he, I wanted it, but still, the lack of volume and media controls were a no for me. Wooting is the what for rapid trigger games, yes. But for games like elder scrolls and such, it's not. Wooting is good but let's not say it needs to be everywhere.
@@ancientslav4863 You’re not understanding that the Video is a list of “Top Gaming Keyboards”, and not including 60/80HE here is just factually incorrect. Imagine someone with a $200 Budget watched this Video and bought his Top 1, then he’ll find out about 60/80HE later due to word of mouth and will say, “Man, I could’ve bought this Keyboard instead…” Another example, imagine watching Marques Brownlee to know the Best Smartphones of the year and to find out that the Newest Samsung Flagship isn’t there is just absurd. You’re putting opinions of what you like in a Keyboard into this than facts to stay true to the Title of the Video.
My Azoth can last 6-7 months on a single charge with oled/rgb off. If you want wireless (or oled) that’s the one to get. Either that or Wooting if you want performance.
Whatever you do don't listen to it when it comes out tomorrow, I'm willing to bet my left nut it will just be frank typical load of bullshit and misinformation like "g pro x superlight 2 numba 1, corsairs new shitty mouse with fake 2k numba 2" etc dtc
@@randomfrankp Haha I fucking knew it gpx2 is first despite the countless issues and trash pricing vs it's competitors. I'm surprised though, the list isn't terrible but a 280usd mouse with qc issues and the razer cobra pro being on the honourable mentions is wack. I'd recommend checking out lamzu's mice as they easily beat the gpx2 lmao
I have a Steelseries Apex Pro mini Ghost edition getting delivered today! Will look awesome with my set up as I already use a Aroex 3 wireless ghost edition mouse!
I'd recommend refunding it and getting something like a DrunkDeer a75/g65 instead, apex pro is actually a really trash sounding keyboard and the features have already been surpassed by several other brands. DrunkDeer a75/g65, monsgeek M1 he, akko has a Hall effect keyboard too. Not insulting your purchase, just am hoping to help you get something that isn't typical steelseries ewaste XD
@@yhiz4757i thought the Apex Pro was 2nd best to Wooting in terms of key actuation / rapid trigger fast response times etc? I play CS2 so just wondering as I’m looking for either a full size Wooting or a full size Apex Pro… I’m not sure which?
Hello all, I'm currently choosing between the HyperX Alloy Origins Core PBT, Logitech G PRO, and the Razer BlackWidow V3 (all TKL). I'm currently leaning towards the HyperX Alloy Origins Core PBT because of the PBT key caps, and from the videos I've watched it seems to have the best overall build quality. Just let me know if you have any opinions on any of these TKL keyboards.
I got the asus azoth a few months ago, its a great keyboard the only negative i have is the secondary functions dont have rgb but i think its a asus thing since they dont have it on some of their laptops either.
One question I would like to ask please because I see that you know a lot of things : Is there a gaming keyboard or gaming mouse where I can activate (or deactivate) my macros remotely? I usually play my favorite game via Chrome Remote Desktop and I can't interfere with the macro running (F1 to F10 keys pressing all the time). And if I want to do some other work, I just can't. Any ideas on how I can do this are welcome.
hey man i had a question, will using the apex pro mini wireless wired at all times damage the battery?i would prefer to use it plugged in even though it’s wireless but will that ruin the keyboard?
@@braydenhardman3112so it’s completely safe to use it wired 24/7? also are you sure it’s 610 i heard the wired was 610 and wireless was 543 but that seemed weird so it’s wrong?
Picked up the scope 2 96 Snow. Awesome all rounder. LUV the switches, quiet thock. Even my space bar is super solid (noticed the azoth's in the video seemed bad). No regrets. A joy to type and play. And the wireless is flawless.
@@keithb4048 I'm trying to save up for it. I've enjoyed my Hyper X Alloy Origin Core with Aqua switches, but it's gotten more of a ping as time has gone on. So the Scope II 96 will be my replacement
In simple terms what is the difference between a gaming keyboard and a regular keyboard? As a programmer I wonder what the best keyboards for "programming" are? Edit: I guess what I am asking is what exactly makes these "gaming" keyboards?
They were #1 on my round up from 2022, the year it released. This list is exclusively of 2023, as stated in the title and numerous times throughout the video.
@@randomfrankp then where's the DrunkDeer a75 and g65? They came out this year and surpass say the apex pro in every single aspect. It's hall effect and doesn't sound like complete trash like the apex pro and k70 do
Higround and apex pro LMAO DrunkDeer a75 and g65 easily beats all of these except the wooting while sounding better stock and being better build. Higround is also a complete joke too, surprised anyone recs them
DO NOT Buy any steelseries keyboards, I have had to repair 5 or 6 keyboards from the Apex 7 pro, Apex Pro and Pro mini, all have the same issue after 1 or 2 years of use some LEDs just die and are a pain to replace, and some switches stop clicking every time and you have to desolder them to replace them.
also their software is fking terrible and I genuinely feel like it's some russian spyware. Watching optimum's video I was also shocked why on earth did he recommend a keyboard which died on the 1st day of use? Rich people/TH-camrs dont talk enough about reliability due to them using something for a short peroid of time sadly. Thats why I watch 6 months/ 1 year review before using a product
Im scared to buy the V4 because I read many people have double typimg prolems and thats a problem I have with my current Razer keyboard as well, inputting a press 2-3 times instead of one. Very annoying
I cant find something that is on my liking .. budget i would pay a lot even 500 on a kb but i couldn't find a keyboard that is used for productivity and gaming.. I need those Home End Delete Insert , arrow keys, Function keys a knob for volume or customization and macros on the left to be able to switch from gaming profile those macros to a productivity one like inserting templates etc Sound that iQunox sounds the thockiest abd would prefer that.. The layout of the butons should be normal like 6 buttons or 9 (3 being macros) above the arrow keys Cant find what im looking for 😕
One thing to mention about the ASUS keyboards he did not mention : 2.4ghz speed is as fast as wired ... imagine having a competition wireless keyboard = YES Asus did it. I got the Asus Scope II for work cause I use the numpad, same as the azoth and very good looking.
Hey, I need help deciding on which these are better... either The Razer Blackwidow V4 75%. The Wooting 60HE+. OR The iQunix ZX75? I just need a new compact keyboard the razer keyboard does sound a little bit better because of the features it has, but I'd like anyone's perspective on what they'd think before I decide Cheers!

Imagine someone with a $200 Budget watched this Video and bought his Top 1, then he’ll find out about 60/80HE later due to word of mouth and will say, “Man, I could’ve bought this Keyboard instead…”
Another example, imagine watching Marques Brownlee to know the Best Smartphones of the year and to find out that the Newest Samsung Flagship isn’t there is just absurd.
You’re putting opinions of what you like in a Keyboard into this than facts to stay true to the Title of the Video.
Please review the Montech MKey, I believe it’s really good !
I legit needed this video lol😂
My bonus is going towards the Wooting 60HE.
If ur willing to overpay in some location and willing to wait in others if not steelseries apex pro tkl 2023 or apex pro mini
My Azoth can last 6-7 months on a single charge with oled/rgb off. If you want wireless (or oled) that’s the one to get. Either that or Wooting if you want performance.
Loved the ASUS one! Got that super fast
that razer 75% just moved to top of my list
For me, I'll never go back from my custom 65%, but the V4 is very impressive for a gaming board
Can you do a best mouse list?
Tomorrow!
Whatever you do don't listen to it when it comes out tomorrow, I'm willing to bet my left nut it will just be frank typical load of bullshit and misinformation like "g pro x superlight 2 numba 1, corsairs new shitty mouse with fake 2k numba 2" etc dtc
Seek help, mental and physical.
@@randomfrankp 🤓 corsair numba 1!
@@randomfrankp Haha I fucking knew it gpx2 is first despite the countless issues and trash pricing vs it's competitors. I'm surprised though, the list isn't terrible but a 280usd mouse with qc issues and the razer cobra pro being on the honourable mentions is wack. I'd recommend checking out lamzu's mice as they easily beat the gpx2 lmao
I think nuphy is the goat of keyboards this year the air75 v2 its just too good
I really just wish the full sized razer had hotswap, made one of these days we'll get more full sized with hotswap
I have a Steelseries Apex Pro mini Ghost edition getting delivered today! Will look awesome with my set up as I already use a Aroex 3 wireless ghost edition mouse!
I'd recommend refunding it and getting something like a DrunkDeer a75/g65 instead, apex pro is actually a really trash sounding keyboard and the features have already been surpassed by several other brands. DrunkDeer a75/g65, monsgeek M1 he, akko has a Hall effect keyboard too. Not insulting your purchase, just am hoping to help you get something that isn't typical steelseries ewaste XD
@@yhiz4757optimum tech shows that steelseries apex mini is basically just as good as wooting
@@yhiz4757i thought the Apex Pro was 2nd best to Wooting in terms of key actuation / rapid trigger fast response times etc? I play CS2 so just wondering as I’m looking for either a full size Wooting or a full size Apex Pro… I’m not sure which?
Alot of bad reviews on Razer BlackWidow V4 75% have come up recently, makes me question if its really worth it
I will buy the Corsair K70, after christmas i will see if it's good or not
Hello all, I'm currently choosing between the HyperX Alloy Origins Core PBT, Logitech G PRO, and the Razer BlackWidow V3 (all TKL). I'm currently leaning towards the HyperX Alloy Origins Core PBT because of the PBT key caps, and from the videos I've watched it seems to have the best overall build quality. Just let me know if you have any opinions on any of these TKL keyboards.
At that price point I would suggest you look at xvx/wommier
I got the asus azoth a few months ago, its a great keyboard the only negative i have is the secondary functions dont have rgb but i think its a asus thing since they dont have it on some of their laptops either.
I think only a few companies have thought about lighting the fn keys, I remember only razer black widow v3 did it.
I want your key caps 🔥📈
The biggest issue with the AZOTH is that it does not come with a wrist rest, after prolonged use, you will feel wrist pain.
Exactly for that asking price it should have that included minimum as well as a wireless connection as well
hows the rk m75? i’ve heard it’s pretty good
I love it. Akko 5075B is my daily, but honestly love the feel of the M75, as well. You can get on sale for $80.
Loving my Blackwidow V4 75!!
Ranked 65% trust me low profile good price hot swappable perfect!
Hey Frank, Frank here. Can you tell me what cable you used @18:51? Thanks much!
Just waiting for that pro mini ghost edition to be back in stock
Where's the Wooting, your favorite 2022 keyboard?
These are all better now?
You should check out Arbiter Studio polar 65. Hall effect switches are the wave
Im big fan low profile keyboard
But please what is the fastest low profile keyboard on market
Thanks
no rapid trigger in your number one spot?
I got the apex mini pro and I feel like a good choice was made lmao
The drunk deer a75 is so good
Got the v4 75 at 145 sale thanks!
the azoth cleans the house with the bw v4
One question I would like to ask please because I see that you know a lot of things : Is there a gaming keyboard or gaming mouse where I can activate (or deactivate) my macros remotely? I usually play my favorite game via Chrome Remote Desktop and I can't interfere with the macro running (F1 to F10 keys pressing all the time). And if I want to do some other work, I just can't. Any ideas on how I can do this are welcome.
hey man i had a question, will using the apex pro mini wireless wired at all times damage the battery?i would prefer to use it plugged in even though it’s wireless but will that ruin the keyboard?
Won’t affect the battery no
@@randomfrankp so it wouldn’t overcharge? also how much does it weigh?
@@abm6772 it weighs 610g and no it won't overcharge, it will stop charging once the battery is full
@@braydenhardman3112so it’s completely safe to use it wired 24/7? also are you sure it’s 610 i heard the wired was 610 and wireless was 543 but that seemed weird so it’s wrong?
yes its safe and oh yeah it is 543g@@abm6772
I like the two Razer keyboards and that white and gray steel series one.
Could you pls make one with keyboards with numlock keys added...I need those lmao.
Ive been eyeing up the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96. Has some similar features as the Azoth but with a num pad that isnt a full size keyboard.
Picked up the scope 2 96 Snow. Awesome all rounder. LUV the switches, quiet thock. Even my space bar is super solid (noticed the azoth's in the video seemed bad). No regrets. A joy to type and play. And the wireless is flawless.
@@keithb4048 I'm trying to save up for it. I've enjoyed my Hyper X Alloy Origin Core with Aqua switches, but it's gotten more of a ping as time has gone on. So the Scope II 96 will be my replacement
Took me a few replays to hear “The world is your oyster” 5:35
Thought my brain broke
Why don't you review or do prebuilt keyboards? They're cheap and better imo and I'd love to see which you think are best
.....I've done hundreds
@@randomfrankp oh really no wayy, i maybe seen some before but don't remember, it's been a while. Thank you!
In simple terms what is the difference between a gaming keyboard and a regular keyboard? As a programmer I wonder what the best keyboards for "programming" are?
Edit: I guess what I am asking is what exactly makes these "gaming" keyboards?
Not mention Wooting keyboards is wild.
The fact you can’t listen to the intro or read the title is also wild.
@@randomfrankp well, since you showed some human emotion I’ll sub.
Kids these days are so lucky to get these options, back in the days, it was either 100% keyboard or rarely 75% with minimal to no customizability
kids won't buy a 160 or + mechanical keyboard. this list was crazy expensive even for adults.
Is Apex pro tkl 2023 for 160€ good enough. Or are there better options?
Guess I'm the only one that can't move on from good old big keyboards....
ginger, not whatt i m here fr
The wooting 60HE not being on this list is insane.
They were #1 on my round up from 2022, the year it released.
This list is exclusively of 2023, as stated in the title and numerous times throughout the video.
@@randomfrankp then where's the DrunkDeer a75 and g65? They came out this year and surpass say the apex pro in every single aspect. It's hall effect and doesn't sound like complete trash like the apex pro and k70 do
I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only person in the world who likes 96% keyboards. I just can't give up my numberpad.
rog strix 2 96% with snow switches smokes the azoth, ive owned both and returned the azoth. if it had a polycarb plate it would be perfect
would you reccomend RK Royal KLudge boards? based on price and quality?
1. Wooting 60he
2. Apex pro mini
3. Razer huntsman v3 mini
4. Razer huntsman mini analog
5. Higround performance base 65
No Drunkdeer?
@@SoupPot was thinking about that, might be better than the og razer huntsman analog. 4 and 5 should switch places anyway
Higround and apex pro LMAO
DrunkDeer a75 and g65 easily beats all of these except the wooting while sounding better stock and being better build. Higround is also a complete joke too, surprised anyone recs them
DO NOT Buy any steelseries keyboards, I have had to repair 5 or 6 keyboards from the Apex 7 pro, Apex Pro and Pro mini, all have the same issue after 1 or 2 years of use some LEDs just die and are a pain to replace, and some switches stop clicking every time and you have to desolder them to replace them.
also their software is fking terrible and I genuinely feel like it's some russian spyware. Watching optimum's video I was also shocked why on earth did he recommend a keyboard which died on the 1st day of use? Rich people/TH-camrs dont talk enough about reliability due to them using something for a short peroid of time sadly. Thats why I watch 6 months/ 1 year review before using a product
My apex 5 pro luckily survived 4 years without any issues. The pro version tho are perhaps different.
Hello! Great video, quick question... Is the best 2023 gaming mice coming tomorrow? Or before Cyber Monday sales end, hopefully?
Nice but soon we gonna have to sell our cars to buy a keyboard
Is the wooting 60HE good?
Yes, best of 2022
@@randomfrankpthanks
Can you do cyber Monday deals
On Monday yes
I use a keychron q3 w/ oil kings I think it works pretty well
Is the Huntsman Mini with optical clicky purple switches good? In my country is around 60$
What’s a good website to get switches?
Im scared to buy the V4 because I read many people have double typimg prolems and thats a problem I have with my current Razer keyboard as well, inputting a press 2-3 times instead of one. Very annoying
Where do I get the apex pro ghost at I can’t seem to find it
I cant find something that is on my liking .. budget i would pay a lot even 500 on a kb but i couldn't find a keyboard that is used for productivity and gaming..
I need those Home End Delete Insert , arrow keys, Function keys a knob for volume or customization and macros on the left to be able to switch from gaming profile those macros to a productivity one like inserting templates etc
Sound that iQunox sounds the thockiest abd would prefer that..
The layout of the butons should be normal like 6 buttons or 9 (3 being macros) above the arrow keys
Cant find what im looking for 😕
Check out Nuphy, they have some funky macro layouts on some of their mechanical boards
Please what is that cable you have with Razer Blackwidow V4 ?
One thing to mention about the ASUS keyboards he did not mention : 2.4ghz speed is as fast as wired ... imagine having a competition wireless keyboard = YES Asus did it.
I got the Asus Scope II for work cause I use the numpad, same as the azoth and very good looking.
hi, i really hate the sound mechanical keyboards do, do i need to look at membrane keyboard only ?
Hey, I need help deciding on which these are better... either The Razer Blackwidow V4 75%. The Wooting 60HE+. OR The iQunix ZX75?
I just need a new compact keyboard the razer keyboard does sound a little bit better because of the features it has, but I'd like anyone's perspective on what they'd think before I decide
Cheers!
Meletrix boog 75 or zoom75 he are the best on the market right now i think.
