We've reached the peak of keyboard design, it's true. But the peak is an ortholinear split keyboard with a custom layout like dvorak or something like that. Common keyboardis is worst things possible, because its inherits all bad designt from old mechanics typing mashines, despite all tecnmical limitations are passed, and i really dont understand why people still use it.
there's nothing more cringy than watching youtubers display their keyboards as trophies. These things are tools meant to be used. The hobby has gone downhill.
I was there too! I flew in all the way from South Carolina. Was my first keyboard meetup. Unfortunately I didn’t bring any of my boards with me as I didn’t know that was kind of central to the experience, but I had a good time regardless

this thing sounds wonderful. on my keyboard i hear 3 things, the key press, the key trigger and the spring release. on the Noland its just one sound, and its so different for the different keys, sounds like music.
The CyberTruck of keyboards isn’t the flex people dumb enough to buy either CyberMeme might think it is. The floating bouncy castle keyboard design is both needless excess and something nobody in their right mind wants (a keyboard that moves around as you type on it).
Was hoping for a bit more in-depth detail but I guess it wouldn't fit in such a short video. If you do a follow up on this board I'd love to hear about more extended usage sessions, different switches and maybe how removing the sound domes effects its performance. It's kind of funny to see such a product while I'm personally moving into hall effect switches and playing with the possibilities there. Magnets inside keys, magnets outside keys, magnets levitating entire keyboards... fun times!
I actually really like the sound of this keyboard when typing. Id like to see a long use case of typing purely on this to see how it effect hand fatigue.
Dammit, I did not need to know that this board existed. This thing is ludicrous and insane... and I kinda want one, even if it is $1600 for the "Polar Ice Floe" colorway and their switches, caps, and wrist rest.
Sounds pretty clean and unique. And $500 is not at all unreasonable for such complexity... especially when you have fools that tried to charge $800 for that $80 plastic garbage that looks like a cybertruck toy knockoff. I'd get it if I wasn't worried about typing height and wrist strain
I just want a keyboard with dedicated copy-cut-paste buttons. These functions are so universally used, it annoys me highly that I have to start remapping keys to get this, when no one seems to be able to innovate them on the keyboard itself. 😂
very very Interesting board, this gives me a few thoughts like. How will it be for extended gaming, either fps games or rhythm games how will it SOUND with those domes removed since theyre there to create for feedback, sound and resonance and how will it feel in general because ill never get my hands on this lmao
Yeah right ? they made the whole thing float, thuse needing sound domes to make it sound remotely okay, adding a stupid amount of flex that can't possibly make typing any better, and raising the keyboard to a height that also makes it harder to use and require a custom wrist rest. Creating problems at no benefit at all to the costumers experience. If I wanted a mechanical art piece, I would buy a mechanical art piece, not a stupidly impractical keyboard. And as an industrial designer, mechanically speaking, it's not even all that impressive, 6 rollers on springs and 4 permanent magnets, I could design something like that in a day. For rich idiots that don't know shit about engineering, it sure looks fancy.
Some do slosh around quite a bit but most are steady unless really provoked. But most of all, I think as long as it dampen the force well, that's all that matters
Oh wow I have those exact same switches on the way for my lucky65 build to upgrade from my 3yo gk68. Tho I think they're also called hmx since hmx is the factory and sillyworks is like the designers or something. Dunno, heard they're new on the scene.
a maglev keyboard is like the falcon doors on the model x what do those doors solve that a far cheaper sliding door does not? take up more vertical space to scare larger predators? a magnet kb makes no sense
Am i the only one who finds the keycaps extremely uncomfortable? Why are there cliffs in between keycaps?? I like to glide my hands on the keyboard, my fingers keep geeting stuck. Why only membrane keyboards use quasi-flat caps
Hi, amazing video, could I please suggest you to include the music you use in your description (I'm very interested in knowing which music the first 30s is taken from)
If it was geared to be a quiet one. Like the moving was there to be the first layer of sound suppression while the foam is a back up. I could see that.
Are you making the comparison with cybertruck because...? Low durability? Arrives destroyed? Gets rusted after a few days? Chops fingers? Doesn't deliver promises? Or merely aesthetics? Because those look ugly af
Yeah the 65 does with just magnets only. This one uses magnets and the Lucas Suspension system in tandem to make the keyboard mount. So slightly different
wow I get the feeling you weren't the biggest fan of this one Scott! LOL I keep watching videos on this one hoping I'll start liking it less, but every video makes me want it more and more. Like you said, I'm one who already has pretty much all the "normal" keyboards I'll ever want or need (well okay many, many more than I could ever need lol), so lately I've really been obsessed with boards that offer something different enough to really feel special in some way. Such a unique build, unique engineering, unique feel, unique sound...can't wait to get my hands on one!!!
I will be brutally honest: the fact that this is sold for $549 means we are getting literally ripped off by normal boards sold for $300.
Hahaha that is a good point
Exactly what I was thinking
Although I would like to agree with you, It's not as simple as that. Kudos for them for selling it at that price though.
Yeah I bought a lucky65 for 60 euros and thought it's a steal, but compared to this that's only 550 it's actually fairlypriced.
High end keyboard market is extremely over inflated I've seen people pay 100+$ for a basic pcb
We already peaked in Keyboard so its time for the exotic designs
This is true
Back to the experimental age since the market is flooded with cheap oem.
we never peaked, we just went in the worst direction possible.
We've reached the peak of keyboard design, it's true.
But the peak is an ortholinear split keyboard with a custom layout like dvorak or something like that. Common keyboardis is worst things possible, because its inherits all bad designt from old mechanics typing mashines, despite all tecnmical limitations are passed, and i really dont understand why people still use it.
Keyboards are becoming this generations new equivalent of luxury watches to boomers.
The thing that confuses me about the wrist watches is that it ISN'T the boomers.
This has been going on for 10 years.
"Keyboard enthusiast" has become a mental illness

Wait, so $549 for the "space" colour way, AND $1239 FOR THE "WINTER" COLOURWAY?!?!
don't mind the spelling for "color"
Yeah... The winter one is a bit different? Like the lower case looks very wavy and different... But that price tho...

nerds building suspension for keyboards gotta love it lol.
There one with coil over suspension
It sounded like the sound you get in the Lego games when you build things.
That's why it sounded so familiar. That's the sound I was thinking of.
When you said "Tesla Cybertruck of Keyboard" at the beginning, i almost think you're meant it suck lol.
I got to play with one of these at a meet up. It's insane. Also, the suspension mount is so soft that it literally bounces as you type. So goofy.
Haha, it's such a weird board for sure. Everytime I pull it out, I stare at it in awe
A+ for design and engeneering
Definitely to be seen as a piece of engeneering more than anything else.
For sure. I think this is something other than a mere keyboard
All these fancy keyboards and we still sometimes get typos in the vid title 😭
Maybe it's the fancy keyboard that does that
Part of the charm and allure of the keyboard hobby is being able to make typos in style.
10 years ago I would have never imagined that keyboards become an artform. But this keyboard is a piece of art.
this thing sounds wonderful. on my keyboard i hear 3 things, the key press, the key trigger and the spring release. on the Noland its just one sound, and its so different for the different keys, sounds like music.
I personally hate the clacky noise
The "Cybertruck of keyboards" is enough to make me pass on this without thinking about it.
That would be the cyber board lol
yeah hard pass for me too. too gimmicky.
Same here. As soon ad it's compared to the cyber truck I link it to bad design and can't even function like irs supposed to.
I don't want a keyboard that will start to rust in a few months and will cut my fingers off.
The CyberTruck of keyboards isn’t the flex people dumb enough to buy either CyberMeme might think it is. The floating bouncy castle keyboard design is both needless excess and something nobody in their right mind wants (a keyboard that moves around as you type on it).
“G-string FR4”
The G-string FR4 will haunt me in my dreams.
Should of made the wrist rests float on magnets too
If this could get much quieter I’d be sold. That things cool.
I wonder if I should remove my mechanical wristwatch before typing on this thing... These are some strong magnets in there.
I'm glad you kept going because you almost lost me at Cyber Truck! lol then...it turned out to be a cyber truck (only, perhaps, MORE functional)
“Yo bro, we heard you like flex, so added some flex to your flex, and made that flex have more flex”
Lower it and make a full-fledged one with numbers and volume etc, and I buy it, love it
Genuinely love the design aspect of the board. Gives me an aggressive brutalist feel. Feels like this was designed by an architect
Most definitely! It was like an imagination that came true
Was hoping for a bit more in-depth detail but I guess it wouldn't fit in such a short video. If you do a follow up on this board I'd love to hear about more extended usage sessions, different switches and maybe how removing the sound domes effects its performance.

It is quite expensive haha
This seemed like true true true endgame with this over engineering and how it's possible to create a new mounting style
It honestly reminds me of Star Citizen, I love it. I mean, I won't buy for $549 but I understand the price.
never tought i would hear maglev (usually used in rubick cubes) for a keyboard
1:48 "you can check it below..." *pauses video and clinks link* yea this is real
Can’t believe that this costs way less than the frog-looking tkl with a fancy screwdriver
Im not one to spend over $120 on keyboard builds but if i were looking into the ultra premium keyboards this would be at the top of my list
Wish they have a physical on off switch, instead of the one on PCB. Also the one on the PCB is without toggle button too 😭
Noland is the guy who received the N1 Neuralink chip 😂
very gimmicky keyboard but maybe use switch with heavy actuation maybe the suspension do something
I think it's a show piece more than anything
Cyber Truck of keyboards? Oh so it breaks your fingers, rusts extremely easily and comes years late? Sign me up
They are selling that Flaw as a feature LOL.
Sounds like they added a topre board under the mx one 😂
next keyboard is gonna have an aquarium in it

As a crazy person I must say you are absolutely right I would definitely buy this if I was rich but I’m not but I did still enjoy watching this ngl 😂
This is more interesting than angrymiao... even both has crazy pricetag
Yes this is an engineering piece for sure

please review retro keyboard like logitech G with lcd, I remember they're massive

what do those doors solve that a far cheaper sliding door does not?
take up more vertical space to scare larger predators?

do you think this board will hold up to a full metal keycap set
Full size keyboards seems to be illegal nowadays 😢
Following for the algorithm 😅 but as a gamer i need quiet, fast actuation and low latency. Any suggestions?
Am i the only one who finds the keycaps extremely uncomfortable? Why are there cliffs in between keycaps?? I like to glide my hands on the keyboard, my fingers keep geeting stuck. Why only membrane keyboards use quasi-flat caps
Me too
nice vid mate
Hi, amazing video, could I please suggest you to include the music you use in your description (I'm very interested in knowing which music the first 30s is taken from)
The b-roll for this product was so frustrating to watch
I'm not really sure what the point of the domes are. The switches are already mounted in a very thin plate that has flex.
Say what you will, but this is definitely one of the keyboards of all time
How fast do you type on your keyboard?
About 300 horsepower
What kind of lube do you use?
Castrol motor oil

"The Tesla of keyboard" damn savage roast for this poor keyboard
You can get the same thing for like 180 dollars…
The zoom65 v3…
I still dont understand the function of the roller things. If its held up by the magnetic field of the base then wtf do the rollers do?
Wouldnt they of made the pcb thin and light for the purpose of weight on the magnets?
Why would you want your keyboard to be loud?
@0:03 wich keyboard? i love blinkelights

Comparing anything to a Tesla cyber truck is not a flex.

Lucas suspension like from Lucas the Spider?
So it's not compatible with hall effect swicthes I assume?
Why float ?
It's one of the most beautiful keyboards I've ever seen! But the spacebar sounds too horrible and keys too clacky for such an expensive keyboard.
Why would anyone want the keyboard to move under keypresses?
If it was geared to be a quiet one. Like the moving was there to be the first layer of sound suppression while the foam is a back up. I could see that.
Are you making the comparison with cybertruck because...?
Low durability?

What's that keyboard at 0:09? 🤔😂
Why?
u got 1 iphone 13 or 14 in my country . but that keyboard is fuckin cool
If i made like 5k a month with living expenses totaling to 1500 a month id consider saving up for it
all that and the keyboard ends up having the same ass layout everyone uses.
Listen, I'm pretty deep into the keyboard rabbit hole... but much like angry miao boards, this one is for the people with more money than sense.
I wont be surprised when i see keyboards with tourbillons in the future just because they can …
This suspension was modelled after a spider, it has six legs..... Doh...😂😂😂
Spiders have 8 legs.

Love the idea but its too big and tall for my taste, a slim version would be an insta buy.
Would also be cool if you can easily remove the floating piece out of the lower assembly to go back and forth from "normal" to "suspended"
