I have been using there blue switches for a little while. I really like not having some crazy software to deal with. And I do like the blue keyboard. Would not mind that at all.

Shakycam is pretty unnecessary in this video. I think the stationary cameras are fine as they are, no need to add some additional swaying camera.

I don't believe that the keycaps are good quality, from the close up in the video, the plastic looks the same cheap that is used in the Corsair RGB.

They are. This is basically a mechanical gaming keyboard that doesn't look as flashy as those ridiculous Razer keyboards etc. and for less than $100. Good value IMO.

I actually liked the different camera angles. You could see more of his office.

11

It was a nice touch the first and maybe 2nd time, but it got stale after that and the shakiness didn't help. Maybe different angels in the future would be better.

12

The EQ function seems like cool idea. Put some music on and watch the light show.

As for alternative camera angles one per video won't be to much of a distraction.

13

Cool idea in practice. It picks up audio and ambient sound. It would be better if it was picking it up straight from the source.

14

Something to work on for the second version.

15

I'm sure there's a way they could still implement it through software.

16

needs flames in the background

17

Software just for that I am ok with. But I like that fact that software is not needed at all to drive this board. Don't give them any ideas. Us Linux guys need more boards like this.

I really enjoyed the Riker chair sit!

"There's like the equivalent of the Odyssey written on these keys right here."

Dude, it's nothing compared to a canadian keyboard.

The ISO layout even has one more physical key because of the sheer lack of space-efficiency of ANSI layouts.

A great video ... speed mater LOL ... as for the keyboard with everything being built into this so you don't need software this means it is a more complicated keyboard and thus chance for something failing is probably higher and speaking of higher this keyboard is probably insanely more expensive than other RGB keyboards. Honestly I could not believe all the features you mentioned and well I just had my G300 mouse break on me and uh I never used the software or macros or even the extra buttons that much so if that gaming mouse wasn't for me I find it hard to believe this is for me. I do like all the lighting options and how it will do some sort lighting effect matching the beat or whatever of music you are playing from a device. I want to know though does it do this when you play music off of just your pc? Anyway I hope one day I can buy keyboards like this for my kids ... well teens now ... to enjoy before they won't appreciate this sort of thing anymore. Again a great video and thanks for all the laughs and for showing a very cool product but as for me buying this .... NO! It likely costs over 9000 so no go.

Update: WOW! In the US it is only $79!?!?!? Eh but I am in Canada so it likely costs $115 and then we have higher tax here so. :S

SPEED MATER! Eh that is how it went when I made my kids to the displeasure of my ex-wife. :S

I disagree with you. I think the production value in this video is higher than it has ever been and I really enjoyed it. The only mistake was when Logan didn't know what camera to look at.
