You're about the only person that has reviewed this so thanks. Been looking at one of these for a while and would love to win it. Good review. Keep it up!
New to your channel and loving the content!! I backed the X-Bows Kickstarter 2.5 years ago and we should be receiving our keyboards "very soon." Sooooo excited! It looks beautiful! The magnetic numpad connector was the most difficult piece for them to manufacture, so it's nice to see it in action.
Very Interesting review!!! Never tried a proper ergo before
This keyboard looks amazing! Will be looking forward to trying one, given the opportunity!
Nice! I was just looking at the XBOWS as a ergonomic replacement for the full-sized mech that I have now (I’ve been getting wrist issues but I love the feel!)
very nice and looks like it would feel great typing with it
Great review 👌🏼 will keep my fingers crossed
Great video. Lots of detail and good review.
Does the X-Bow software have to be installed on a PC for the macros to work? Or can I create macros on one PC with the software and then use the keyboard and the macros on another PC without installing the software?
Thanks for the video! I was on the fence about this keyboard but I am now sure that this KB will make the perfect gift. Thanks again. I have subbed and hope to see more KBs :)
Thanks for the review. I'm currently an MS 4000 keyboard user and love the layout, but I need something with backlighting ... this keyboard appears to have backlighting but NOT the actual face/letter/numbers are lit?? I often work in low light conditions (software engineer) and sometimes I need a little help locating at Function key accurately ... how effective is the "lighting" on this keyboard such that it would be easy to see an F10 key vs. F11 key in low light?
I've always been curious at how comfortable an ergonomic keyboard would feel on your wrists over time
Thank you for this review!
@patiszejuicebox Man, this thing looks sick! Any idea if you can buy the numpad seperately and can you use the numpad with the Nature?
Very nice solid review ..thank you👍🏿
I'm interested in this since it looks like something I could try just to feel what it's like having the keyboard
I’ve always wanted an ergo keyboard. This one’s a beautiful looking split one & I would love to have it.
Great review!
Ive never tried an ortholinear keyboard and really want to test one out as I do write code very often and my hands feel tired after every time. This would help me so much.
I really like the ergo layout here and hot swap is very nice to have.
An interesting board no doubt. The detachable numpad it's so handy for someone who needs desk space and the numpad is like an item for occasional use
great review!
hi Brainbean! Great review! I purchased the Knight Plus but have issues with the number pad - the lighting is stuck on rainbow and the RGB pattern does not change/match the keyboard. I've been told by X-bows support that the number pad lighting never matches the keyboard and must be controlled independently!? Was/is this your experience? It's a very bizarre programming choice if that's the case - hope to hear from you, thanks!
Really like the fact that the numpad can be placed on the left, looks really practical! @Kujikato
What about the previous giveaway with the Razer ornata chorma v2?
always been interested in trying an ergonomic keyboard but the tenting is a bit unusual to me. so this looks to be the perfect combination of the two forms ergo and a regular keyboard in terms of design. Numpad being detachable is a big plus.
Interesting to see how it feels in hands
Love the hot swap-able switches. Wish they had a wireless option and that key caps weren’t so proprietary
Might be a new addition to the weirdly perfect working keyboard collection of mine that i have collected in 5 years!
Would love to use one of these. Working from home has my forearms and wrists burning.
yess more to my collection
How do we change the lighting scheme on this keyboard? Fn+W and Fn+S can change the light intensity , but how do we change the light show?
I'm not sure about that center enter key. I don't know if I could get comfortable with that.
Nice video! I really like the look because it looks like the old IBM ergonomic keyboard and just starting to get in the mechanical keyboard hobby would like to win this keyboard.
Keep up the great videos man!
Is the GX profile row-based, or could these caps be rearranged for DVORAK, COLEMAK, or other alpha layouts?
who won the last giveaway?
I'm wondering after after about 2 years if you're still using this keyboard, and if so I'd imagine you're very comfortable with the layout by now. As a programmer, I am interested in getting something like this.
could you give us a update after 1 year of use?
also is it possible to set a "macro" to change the color of a single key [caps] when pressing it from static white to static red [when active] and white [when off]
[edit bought one myself, and ir acually has said feature]
i already saw a keyboard like this and i would really like to try it out.
that’s such a sick keyboard would love it :)
Hi, like the magnetic keypad for either side. It will be perfect for work.
I love the keycaps , even if I don't win I would like to find some similar for a regular keyboard
I haven’t tried an ergo board yet and hopefully get a chance! Love your channel and you really helped me get into the hobby. I don’t have a Twitter, sorry
So I'm guessing that the standard letter keys won't be able to be swapped with a custom key set?
Sooooo interested!! I’m going into college for journalism so this would be insanely useful
You say it's not designed for gaming but I bet if you rebind your keys in-game, you could do some interesting stuff with it
Can you do a give away of the surface book 3 as well as a review and could you maybe also do it for the razer blackwidow elite
As a PC gamer this very interesting to me, I think after you master the new muscle memory for your fingers this makes for better control. Much better control, perhaps even reaction speeds.
love this vid man
Is it a 3 pin or 5 pin pcb?
Would love to own this!
Death adder V2 Mini, Model D- Mini and Ducky Mecha 2 SF reviews pls
I've been looking this keyboard for a while, not sure if I should pull the trigger, but I keep looking back at it @kachus22
This seems like a nice, well built piece of hardware! I've been working from home for 3 years now, and finding the correct ergonomics is not simple. This keyboard would be an awesome addition, since I'm using a membrane office model from Logitech. Best luck for everyone!
A friend of mine works as a computer programmer and really wants to get his hands in one of these ergonomic keyboards. Hopefully I get to surprise him with the Knight Plus. Fingers crossed!!
Ahh this keyboard is so cool!
Definitely interested in trying out an ergo split keyboard. This one looks like a good candidate! @zapontwitch
@lolihikikomori always wanted an ergonomic keyboard to force myself to type properly using all the fingers, but they're damn expensive!
I use a Kinesis Advantage 2 at home and the X-Bows Knight Plus at work. I got the Knight for work because of the silent brown keys, otherwise I would use the Advantage.
I chose the Knight specifically because of the ortholinear keys, split space bar, and because the keys can be remapped. I’ve been typing on Ortholinear keyboards for ten years. I can’t stand regular staggered keys. I immediately remapped one of the space bar keys to backspace, the middle shift to enter, and the middle control to delete. This mimics the layout on the Advantage. I also remapped the whole keyboard to Dvorak on a separate layer.
I’ve been using the Knight for a year now. It’s been great 👍
I think a great keyboard hack is to use the X-Bows keyboard with the Dvorak layout. Whatdaya think?
I've been sending a day or two looking at reviews on the latest version and only found this recently. As a developer with a broken keyboard i need to take the plunge soon.
Would like to know if their macOS compatibility has improved as older versions reportedly had compatibility issues stock until updated from a windows machine.
Also, wondering if the software supports a lot of the QMK stuff where you can setup hold a key and do something vs pressing normal.
Thanks for this! @sheldon_hull
> Only Windows is supported in the current version of the driver. Support for Mac and Linux will be developed soon.
Full customization is on the roadmap. I wondering if they'd give any general eta on that.
Cool board, I do get hand strain sometimes
Love so many keyboards I see here! Sad I can't buy 90% of them as I am german and to use a keyboard I would need ISO layout.
@CurtVonnegut
The keycap profiles on these are interesting.
Interesting they are doing these 90s style ergo keyboards
My concern with this one is actually reaching the middle keys with anything. Like lining my hands up so that the index finger is on the j key (which I noticed you were not doing in any of the typing done in this video), that's pretty far to reach for the enter key.
Ergo keyboards are not that hard to get used to... Now, an ortho-linear ergonomic one is another matter entirely... 😬
But I'd definitely would love to try one of these out!
Neat keyboard, never really tried an ergonomic and I wonder how much it really helps. @pantplays
Im curious how that layout feels like. @thebesterKO
Would love to get a keyboard like that, wanna try something unique lol
Interested in checking out an ergonomic keyboard. Never owned one hence would be interested in using it as a daily driver and see if it is worth making a move. @Kan1shka9
Sounds really interesting. As a blind user, I always wonder how I would like a different layout like this. Keep up the great videos.
If ur blind how did u see the keyboard and how did u type this
Funky looking keyboard
No one:
This keyboard: W V

I just have right now a old laptop that i use for school uses, more specific mostly programing. I had a membrane keyboard but the pcb and cable broke after a long use. It would be very nice to have a new keyboard, but budget for both school and other things is tight. I would love to have a new keyboard especially when it has so unique things like the curved and center things. Good luck to everyone else
Edit 1: i dont have twitter unfortunately
this looks interesting
For 280,00 Euro is it really worth the money?
Good day.. I was surprised by this keyboard and not expecting that i could love this even will spent time adjusting on its layout. I pasued the video to see the layout properly and i think it's good for fps gaming because the right part buttons is not that much usable in fps games.
One i really like on this is the aluminum case and i think it's the top quality case for all of the keyboards..
Question: do they sell keycaps of this? Like the big alt and other keys?
Thanks for this another great video and for the chance to have this kind of keyboard..
@VeeCi5 🤞🏽 🤞🏽
I wonder how this compares to the ergo ez board
I've used both. The X-Bows was easier to get used to because the keys to the right are in pretty much the same locations. The Ergodox is symmetrical, so the non-alpha keys need to be moved around to all fit, or get put into layers. I got back up to speed on the X-Bows in a week or so. I never really did on the Ergodox.
I want this keyboard never had a backlit keyboard not even a membrane backlit
i really want one cuz my keyboard is kinda broken some keys dont work. gonna watch vid now
I don't know how to press Win+1 on this keyboard... I think Win key is the most unconvinent bottom on this layout
Not bad!
i wonder what an ergo keyboard feels, this looks comfortable and neat @ColeenSntg
@passer_ne would love to get away from the traditional "gaming keyboard". Great video!
There’s been a big increase in ergo keyboards and mouse. Ergo+mechanical sounds really nice. Hoping i’m not too later enter...
Wow, not bad. I prefer ergo boards without the split, so this is actually a first.
I've never used a ergonomic keyboard before and I hope this can be my first time!
Good day.. Include your twitter handle in the comment.
Bro this giveaway is on my birthday! Good luck to all!
Interesting layout with the center located backspace and enter keys! Worth a try. @Manonandu
Honestly I think this keyboard would be perfect for my mom. Ever since the pandemic and quarantine, she's been working at home and she isn't particularly fond with the keyboard she uses at the moment. If she gets to use this keyboard, her work from home experience will be much more comfortable. Also, I get to review this as well which means more content for my channel!
My twitter handle is @KingXF88
i want one!
A mechanical ergonomic RGB keyboard with detachable keypad, all in 1. Simply amazing! @IzacMak
I love that this keyboard has a really clean font. @ghostMMXX
I feel like once you learn how to use it properly it would be a lot of fun typing or coding. Looks really nice too.
I bought one and after 3 months, I find I'm not adapting well to the different layout. I have to use a different keyboard at work and shifting from the X-Bows layout to a more conventional ergo keyboard and back again is frustrating. The build quality is top notch but I found the layout to be a bridge too far.
I love how you have The Amory Wars in all of your videos. #oneamongthefence.
I have Coheed stuff all over my office lol. I try and sneak some in every once in a while. I also just think the AW comics look nice on camera.
I’ve been running the X-BOWS Knight Plus for 2 months now and have the following comments
* Lack of insert, home, & end keys, I’m a mainframe programmer and have had to use the numeric keypad to have these keys.
* key pad really needs the num-lock off values printed on the key pad
* unlit keys, the background lighting is cool, but I frequently work at night need to look down for some key combinations, except I can’t because the keyboard is too dark and you
* there’s no indicator lights for Caps Lock, Num Lock & scroll Lock, setting of all of these keys can cause errors and need to re-type.
Beyond these issues the keyboard works well and is comfortable working 8-10 hours a day.
This looks weird but it'll probably be comfy for my wrists especially because I have a small desk but the ergonomic design will take a long time to get used to, at least for me. @lore_renzz
Definitely looking to try an ergo split keyboard out! Thanks! @Jasonkwf1
I've been looking for an ergo keyboard lately since I've been getting wrist pain. They're all either membrane or really expensive, so this looks pretty nice! @Schwagger
