As a casual gamer who also needs my keyboard to be usable for work, I got the Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL. The white colorway is gorgeous and the typing experience is great. The stabilizers can use some lubing though as that rattle can be quite annoying.
Can we get a mice one ?
We need that fr
@boardzy
Fax
We need that for headsets but you have to consider more factors when ranking headsets
Yeah man
Our man, frankp!!
Huge thanks for bringing up the amazing content and ranking ZX75 on the God Tier line! Cheers to Frankp!
Id love to buy one, however unfortunately you guys seem to not offer german keyboard layouts. Maybe that would be something for the future? For now wooting does this and thats why they win for me
He sold out
Somethings you determine their value on their current offerings and some based on their past offerings (Logitech F tier price change, vs Asus Falchion old v vs new v). Consistency is key.
As someone who used laptops exclusively for PC gaming the K100 Air is the perfect keyboard for me on my desktop. The low profile is the closest think I've used to a laptop keyboard. Most other keyboards felt big and clunky to me
I bought the Mountain Everest Max on your previous review, and it has become my daily driver. Also, Mountain is still creating add-ons for the Everest Keyboard, such as more macro pads, and from ordering to receiving my product from Austria to Canada took only 7 or 8 days. However, it is still quite expensive and that review which influenced my purchase was two years ago, so I am in full agreement with your ranking.
i shot for the Everest Max (cherry red) during black friday last year. it was for $215 AUD, about half the price as its usually $445-ish. absolute steal!
problem is modding the thing is like disarming a bomb... the tolerances are super tight and many daughter boards connected to the main pcb which is why it is modular.
out of the box, it sounds like sh!t compared to my brother's custom keyboard.
Frank I’m loving your content keep up the amazing show. Your setup inspires me.
this is the one i was looking for pal. 6 months is kinda meh, but you answered every question i had and covered the main layout of my choices.
I use GMMK 2 full size at work and another GMMK 2 65% for gaming. I just play Rust, so no need for all the special features of custom key stroke distances and that stuff. Yet it is a good mechanical board you can customize to get that good thoc feeling. Added a wrist rest to help with the higher profile.
Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro one of the best purchases iv ever made. Yes its pricey but it has everything i wanted. Wireless, very good battery, good switches, its full sized.
Really enjoyed this video format!
Especially the trash talk, lol
Great short review and comparison, thanks.
The Wooting 60HE is the nicest thing I've ever bought for my PC. Straight out of the box it's just perfect. They've nailed it. From the feel to the sound without any mods even. Highly recommend it. I also switched for the first time from full size to 60% and had so much fear since I use arrows and numpad etc a lot but with function layers and double keystroke features from Wooting I've had no regrets at all. I love it so much.
Love my wooting but the switches were dry as a bone and not factory lubed at all. only on the stabs. Definitely lube that baby up. Did the whole lube job, tape mod, burger mount, aluminum case. It's 100 percent better than stock.
The sound of the Wooting 60HE out of the box belongs in the absolute trash tier.
Where to get one?
As a 75% lover, ROG Azoth for me. Closest thing to a custom kb I ever had. I really don't like the strap on the wooting I hope they remove that ugly feature so I can try it eventually.
@@BrawndoQC It literally has a button on the strap.
As someone who bought the Hyperx Origins Core Aqua only becuase of your recommendation and still uses it to this day I coudn't be more gratefull. Love the content Frank 🙌
Is it still working ? Mine some random keys decided to stop after 2yrs 😒
Feeling good watching this tier list after I already order the Wooting 60he 😁
digging this new style of video instead of reviews which I like those as well but this is a good fresh take!
I have to say if you want a full sized Keyboard The corsair K100($218) and Razer Black widow v4 ($229) both felt and worked better for me then the Asus Claymore($217). I dont see a full sized keyboard being a problem like Mr. Frank here. If youre looking at raw performace those boards are no doubt A to A+.
Him having a problem with full sized makes me think he doesn’t have any credibility ranking keyboards. Bias is too strong here.
I'd keem Nuphy on the radar. The Air line is more in line with the Fnatic keyboard or the G915 slim profiles and the Halo line is more traditional. All hot-swappable, good-looking, moddable but looks like there's no need to mod them. Ah, and they're wireless.
I'm considering pulling the trigger on the Halo75.... but I'm on the fence bewteen the white and black variants. (Add some WoB keycaps to the white one and you'll get a sleek stormtrooper look you can turn into a 501st look by adding some blue lights).
Exactly what I was looking for not even joking THANK YOU!!!
That keycap set on your wooting is fire. Love my wooting. Hoping they come out with a TKL
I love my GMMK pro, but I’m still bitter about the quality control of their stabilizers. Had it since launch, and they’re still ridiculously sticky and broken. Should’ve been a recall.
I'm pretty casual and I've been using the Nuphy Air 75 and absolutely love it! The most satisfying keyboard I've ever used
Keep making the tier lists!
My favorite is my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL (2023). The best gaming feature is the dual-activation mode for the OmniPoint switches. For example, I set the W key for walk at 1.0 and run at 3.0. All the main keys can be dual-activated. My keyboard of choice for work/long typing sessions is my. Keychron K7 Pro with Gateron Brown switches. Stellar video, mate!!
apparently they are working on their version of wootings rapid trigger, so should make it even better
@@iSaturnUK That would be reason enough for me to upgrade!
Alex pro tkl or black widow v3 tkl or hyper alloy tkl?
@@iSaturnUK yep, they did it a couple of months ago. Easy A+ tier keyboard because of the fact it is tkl alone.
I was looking for a keyboard and then this video came out, great timing and even better content. Thank you so much for this Frank ! Keep up the awesome videos.
Insane thank you so much for this, helpful!
Any cool tech under 50 this month?
I have a DeathStalker v2 TKL for the usual desktop stuff and plan on getting a wooting alongside for the gaming stuff so i think I am covered in the best way possible imho
I wish Wooting had a TKL version. I have been going down the custom keyboard rabbit hole lately & searching for something to buy as a project. Not sure if I want to build one or just buy another keyboard. Right now I have the HyperX Alloy Origins Core TKL with HyperX red switches & I added Pudding keycaps. Its been decent but looking for something new.
I have a custom one I spent way too much on and the switches in this keyboard even when modded just don't sound the best, I love how they feel for gaming though.
I think they do. Last I checked, they had a full size, 60% and TKL
@@twinblade02 Its not out yet. They are working on one apparently.
They only have 2 for sale right now on their website & they are HE60 which is a 60% & the full size. A TKL is a 70%-75% with arrow keys Home, PGUP, PGDN, DEL, END, INS.
@@TMacGamer ayy mb, I forgot about the size difference. Well, either way I'll be waiting for the TKL. Hopefully with more hot swap options (I really want gold switches)
What kind is better, the HyperX Alloy Origins or HyperX Alloy Elite?
Do you think that the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 is better or worse than HyperX Alloy Elite 1?
Bro you can't just say "it's meh, I'm not gonna say more about it"
That's bullshit, I wanna know why you don't like it. You don't even have a vid about it on your Channel
I agree on Iqunix boards all the way. I have the L80 cosmic traveler and loved it so much I bought three other boards from Iqunix. No mods needed
I always recommend Keychron mainly because they have so many PREBUILT OPTION... I mean if they don't make it you don't need it at this point. All the price point and all the differences.
As a fan of full size keyboards, it's kinda sad that you put the K100 RGB and Blackwidow V4 Pro on B tier simply because you dislike 100% keyboards
I've been using my old K95 RGB with 18G keys for almost 8 years. Although I don't really use macros for gaming, they're SO useful for when I'm editing or to keep some shortcuts I regularly use, and as an engineering student, having the number pad right next to where I write while using windows calculator when doing homework is also very nice.
Bought the K100 RGB past month and the build quality and feeling of this thing is no less than A-tier (idk about the Blackwidow tho, never used it)
good job on the tier list👍
btw i have a suggestion,
a ''Gaming Keyboard Tier List! (Top 30+ Ranked)'' without price in mind could be handy for some people because prices could change.
DeathStalker V2 Pro ain't getting enough love here! It's fantastic, optical switch response and build quality is amazing. Yeah pricey, but good stuff. Keycaps quality are surprisingly good despite the poor reputation of ABS plastic. The coating they used here has some protective properties that negates the downsides of ABS
its razer so its trash quality.
I got the V2 Pro with Keychron LP banana switches and I absolutely love it!
SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL is out now, is it any good?
5 ms = 0.00005 min. it does not make any difference 5,10,15 ms keyboard latency@@TronFN
@@FenrirAlter bro that is not how it works
currently using the razer blackwidow v3 mini . Love the keyboard, its perfect because its small enough to be portable for tablets, yet also big enough to replace your desktop setup. My only gripe is that when playing warcraft, I wished I had some dedicated fn keys for micromanagement. So in that regard, its not the best gaming keyboard and there are other better options out there when comparing it to this. If FPS is more of your style and you dont need too many keybinds, this is a good keyboard.
I use the huntsman mini, and I love the size and portability, also the optical switches are amazing
@@hachiEightSix huntsman mini is a great keyboard.. I just wanted portability and multiconnection with my keyboard.. I ended up switching it out with the deathstalker v2 pro tkl for mine... Its great.. its small enough for my tablets but also big enough with all the F1 keys for my games now. Its even better because my mouse also can pair with the dongle for the hyperspeed connectivity, so I only need one connection dongle which frees up a USB port.. and its fast too
thanks, this is very insightful.
Hey! I have a wild question for the considering the context of the video.
Are you planning on reviewing the RODE Streamer X? I just got it and find the hardware very cool, but the software is very much lacking. I'd love to know your opinion!
Great idea! The IQUNIX boards are so good.
We need a mid year best custom keyboard one if you can make it. ❤
i would love to see a keyboard tier list based on productive and typing experience.
that is under build your own. None of these come close to a custom board.
I use GMMK2 Pro Compact and u know what? I tested a lot of kbds. That piece of a sh!t is pure beauty. Simple, high quality build and great sound after switching keycaps and few mods inside. Recommended a lot!
Great tier list
Full massive setup in the back, Frank doesn't even bother with it lmao
If you had to choose between the Wooting and the iQunix, which would it be? Does one edge out the other? (Great overview of all these keyboards)
Appreciate Frank’s input - but how does GMMK and Keychron make A tier with +6ms latency?
Wooting and Steelseries deserve S tier. K100 OPX and k70 Champion TKL OPX A tier in my personal opinion. Gaming pov not a typist although I can hit a solid 130wpm with the OPX.
Corsair would be S tier if ICUE didn’t suck - and k100 specifically if the cable wasn’t so bulky and the ICUE wheel wasn’t so limited in use. I’d prefer to just lose the wheel all together tbh.
The ROG RX Reds literally amazed me with their smoothness and incredible stability. The only issue I have with it is their font (again, GAMER font) and because it's a different switch mount you can't readily replace it with custom keycaps so it's a bummer. Asus does sell keyboards with RX Reds in cheaper wired keyboard, which is what I got.
You could also make the meme about having "More CONTROL" with their keyboard, since it does give you a literal physically bigger left ctrl 😂
yeah i love them reds. I came from the hyperx 60 percent and swapped over to the rog azoth and its such a upgrade.
I got the wired strix scope. The non-detachable cable is horrible, but the optical switches are def amazing. After some modding it is one of the best gamer keyboards I have ever bought. I wish the optical switch market can reach some standard PCB one day to enable more customization.
As opposed to figuratively?
the royal kludge h81 is a really underrated lubed stabilizers and switches and sturdy frame and has speed silver switches so it’s a fast actuating board and sounds great and looks great.
been waiting for this
I think it would be cool if you can review other companies such as that of Fantech and Royal Kludge with their keyboards.
You should review the Rosewill K81 Neon RGB it's a very underrated keyboard. Super sturdy construction and amazing lighting. I'm gonna switch the keys with PBT key caps though.
very surprised the razer analog was not on this list, as it seemed everyone liked it, other then price, but still would have liked to have seen it in the list.
I actually really like the looks of the Logitech G715 Aurora, but that price is a no go.
Id like to see you review the Nuphy Field 75
Just got mine and im really impressed.
ASUS Azoth is god tier. I have a bunch of boards including bespoke customs, and the Azoth provides so much function and customizability that it's by far my most daily driven deck.
It is, I have owned at least 50 keyboards in the last 2 decades, and it the first one that I feel doesn't even need to be modded, but it can be modded! I love it. 75% is my jam too.
I agree
Currently running their Scope II wireless and its the same deal, it's modded out of the box, all im going to do is tape the pcb and change the keycaps!
Actually surprised the Royal Kludge RK61 didnt make the line-up. Probably one of the most slept on 60% boards on the market and has been for years. Modded it sounds like a 400$ keyboard.
stop glazing rk61
Still using razer huntsman mini linear. So good. I have the white version and I think razer is making a mistake not making v3 of this keyboard. Blackwidow mini should also be available in white/mercury. No idea how hyperx is above that. Huntsman got stabs in each key, rubber dampeners and is optical. cmon
I bought the magma when it was $60 because I didn't know what the difference was between membrane and mechanical 😬
Thank You sir for the video grettings from México 👊🏻
Still loving my G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Brown with Gaming Keycaps, maybe I'll look at one of these for a backup :) Software on the Gskill could use a lot of work but it works with Dragon Center too which is great.
What’s your top choice for someone trying to get into modding keyboards?
excellent video!
Wish performance factored in more to this list. Some of the A tier keyboards are bad in regards to latency!
Absolutely love the RX Red switches from ROG
I love my Fnatic Streak65 LP, i never wanna go back to a normal-height board. Got it with silver switches. It looks great, and it's super comfortable to use. Edit: apparently it has no silver switches, I remembered wrong. Board is still great. :)
I used to use a streak65 and loved it but recently started using a wooting60he and cant go back I just love how it feels and the extended feature set is insane with these analog switches.
Streak65lp has only one variant of switches. The orange ones.
@Mike oh shit, I didn't know haha. Must've misremembered, still my fav board though
Your thoughts on the Corsair K70 MAX with the MGX switches?
The only thing I really want from Logitech aurora are the wrist support clouds :D
Where would you put the HiGround Basecamp keyboard? I just bought the Amethyst one with the TTC White Flame switches and it should be here in a couple days
you are one of the best recourses to find peripherals.
thanks for always giving us links.
and imo very useful opinions.
I have the Hyperx origins core 65 with red switches. I thought id like it alot, especially after seeing all of the positive reviews. For some reason i seem to mistype on the keyboard constantly. Ive had it for 2 years and still cant stand typing emails or anything on it
Still waiting for cool tech under 50 for June
The best keyboard there is? The one you've been using for 3+ years and is till as good as it was on day one. In my case, Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Rapidfire Cherry MX Low Profile Speed. I hope it never breaks.
Mouse one next
Were the headphones necessary? 😂😂
If you could do this same concept except for pre-built PCs for causals who know nothing about PC gaming rigs like me, that would be awesome 👀
I love my duragod keyboard its space gray and silver with just white backliting and it has silent silver switches and its quiet and smooth. Solid keyboard under 80 bucks when I purchased it.
Just moved from the Razer Huntsman Mini to the Wooting 60HE+. Wow. I didn't realize what I was missing. Razer Huntsman Mini goes into the storage box in the garage now. The Wooting is the best by a mile. It's customization, build quality and tech are well above it's price range. Managed to grab one in stock too, no wait period.
I wonder if SteelSeries rapid trigger releasing after this vid would change the rankings at all? Considering there’s only 3 keyboards with that technology it would at least be A tier now imo.
6:48 Wooting
13:31 Iqunix
My guy 🙌🏻
Hey Mate, you never miss your monthly 50$ under videos. Trust everything is going ok with you. Miss your content, stay healthy and safe.
I was coming here to find out what's going on.
Still loving my G815 with the clicky tactile switches
I feel like people who are to lazy to put timestamps into their videos are often also to lazy to test a product.
Pretty much. A - Meh was pretty much entirely how much he currently likes the brand
What kind is better, the HyperX Alloy Origins or HyperX Alloy Elite?
Do you guys think that the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 is better or worse than HyperX Alloy Elite 1?
Can we get one that won't break the bank lol. In all seriousness, awesome video
How about a mouse and headphones list. I'd love to see both
I’d like to see you double down in keebs rabbit hole and go switch tier list next
I have an ASUS Azoth and it's quite an amazing keyboard.
please more tierlist like this
i would love to see a mouse tier list
You jave the zx75 as S tier but how does that one compare to the iqunix OG80? Is the OG80 just as good as the zx75 or is it not as good?
I have a logitech pop i was GIVEN because the other person hated it. I didn't know why I thought it was so cool and the best ever (I'm very new to the keyboard community). I QUICKLY learned why the other person hated it so much. 😂
Could you do an updated budget keyboard video? If its worth it? I don't know how much has changed in a year.
As someone who loves to game and uses a g715 keyboard its amazing its really clean theres a gaming mode
hey @FrankP the link from the ASUS ROG Claymore II goes to a ASUS ROG Spatha and the link from the ASUS ROG Azoth goes to ASUS ROG Claymore II
What is the model of your headset when you were filming? It has great mic. wow
ffs wheres the "best tech unter 50" for june?!
In your tier list in which position the HyperX Alloy Elite 2 would be?
When are you going to review them headphones? Also I see you swapped the pads already, what are those!
Are there any stock gaming keyboards with tactile switches that are really quiet? Thanks for help!
Can we get a gaming headset tier list?
the Azoth is my fav kb ive owned so far, its pricy but worth it
previous to this ive had several Razer Blackwidow Ultimate versions, which were fine but nowhere near as nice as the Azoth
i dislike the asus Armory Crate less than razer Synapse...so its still bad but less so
the keyboard king is making a tier list, i bought my first mech keyboard because of this channel, that's the Corsair Strafe
@Blacklisted-Solveq we got our own preference of having king on something, he is the one introduce me on mech keyboard, so he is to me. sorry because it trigged you
Love my Steel Series. Unfortunately, after a couple years, started having problems.
