Now this is how to review keyboards
meanwhile, my 4yo keyboard for 5 dollars that only has one random green light below:
The dislikes are from apple fanboys
Which keyboard has the fastest ^C and ^V?
I really like the design of the razer huntsman.
But boy i also need it to be support multi device, is there such keyboard?
3:08 WHOA
I had a very similar experience with the Mx Keys. The key layout is great; however, after a couple of weeks of using it I felt my fingers were getting tired very easily.
nice video, it could be better if u try some enthusiast keyboards and some cheaper keyboards and membrane keyboards to see the difference
what would be a good hybrid keyboard for coding+gaming (both activities are done daily, 6 hours coding + 4 hours gaming)
How much are you willing to pay for inspiration.. Well said!!
What about plastic type of those caps on Logitech G915? Are they abs or tpb?
01:55 Maybe a little *pricey* ..
9:03 *I was expecting* With great power comes great responsibility.
I sometimes think why am I like this.
Which keyboard is better fot witing in word? Mechanical or a wireless, for eample Logitech MK295?
08:00 But a price > 200 Euro is outright insane!
I prefer the filco majestouch for coding and typing those you mention are more gaming focused
One question. Do you have to be smart if you want to code? Because then its a no go for me lolπ€£
Programmers search the best keyboard for programming, but they forget their programming skill is defined by their brain, not by the $300 keyboard.
Due too Tech Lead I got this G815 ( Wired Version of G915) and it true.. its definitely one of the best keyboard I have ever owned!! Super fast
"G915 rattles." *Immediately picks up keyboard to shake* Yup, looks like it does. It doesn’t if you hold it flat and shake up and down. If you hold it like he does (vertically and shake it forward/backwards), then it definitely does. But fair enough — it does indeed rattle a little.
I spray deep heat on my $10 keyboard so that my fingers don’t hurt
Dude really called 150 wpm "good". Then wtf am I lmao
and the reason you can type faster is because you type only letters…a real test would include numbers, letters, and special characters (numbers, commas, dashes, periods, parenthesis, asterisks, quotations, apostrophies, etc.). Test your typing with a realistic test and tell us you did 170 WPM. Mamon…
Do these have cap lock button?
Which type of keyboard is easy on fingers and wrist health?
HHKB is the perfect keyboard for programming
really random but what if TechLead was actually Dr Youn hmmmmmm
Is that the BenQ PD3200U monitor?
Half of those keyboards should NOT even come into the picture, because they do NOT include the numeric keypad, which is the most essential part part of ANY keyboard. What kind of typist are you who’d not even consider that part of the keyboard in a review? Most people’s jobs rely on that extra set of keys. I am looking for the perfect keyboard and I almost considered some of your choices, but then I looked real close and realized that they are missing the most important part of it…Ugh!…on to the next Youtuber.
I love the humor. my fingers will hurt and I can’t work for a few days. Complete BS, but so funny.
What about ergonomic keyboards?
Have you tried HHKB?
I have the Logitech G Pro predecessor to this keyboard and honestly, it’s great and has been for almost 4 years now. Click without being annoying, fits in a backpack (TKL), comfortable spacing, nice lighting. Now that they’ve got replaceable keys, I’m not sure there’s much else to ask for. TKL + trackball FTW for programming.
Excellent review. Thanks.
Disappointed.

Son, you have no clue what a real keyboard is. SMH.
i knew it, that day i walked past a store selling logitech stuff, hands on the Logitech G915 TKL, love at first touch but my jaw dropped when i saw the price, but i suppose quality has its price.
Thank you for the honest feedback on those keyboards. Great Review!
a true keyboard is: split, ortholinear, incline about 40 degrees, and keys easy to press. Of course a programmed layout (or coleman, workman). It’s just to get affiliations that he is making this video
RGB for inspiration? That is some grade A bullshit right there!
THX, just as I broke my old LogiTech keyboard improving code – I stumbled over this video.
Thx for programming perspective.
very well put video! thanks for making it
Is WPM even an issue when it comes to coding? My fingers can out race my mind with anything more modern than punch cards.
I love how the basis for the best programming keyboard is a couple of typing tests lol. And nearly all of the keyboards are gaming keyboards, if he actually got a custom I’m sure he would like it much better than a stock low profile Logitech board
Ok, the content is good. but 8 times advertising? just annoying how YouTube tries to sell you such a subscription π€―
Great review, thanks for the info. Seriously, how does lighting make you type faster?
Have you tested the "ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II" which maybe $99?
a TKL keyboard for programming. Really? I’m searching for years for a standard layout keyboard for programming, no nonsense keys, no battery, 19mm. Now i’m using the low-priced logitech K280e, it’s doing its job good enough for now. Looks like there are no alternatives. Now the Cherry MX 10.ON is coming, i will have a look.
Typing speed changes with your mood…if you’re feeling happy and inspired, you will type much faster…if you’re feeling lousy or blue, you will type slower and with more mistakes. Also, you gotta clip your fingernails every couple of weeks, because if you let them grow for a month+, that tiny extra length can get in the way and make typos.
