Windows On-Screen Keyboard is the GOAT

Expensive doesn't always mean it's the best

As a Aula F75 owner, I would recommend going with the Ice Vein switches! They have a even better sound.
You can actually get that keyboar in MANY other color themes!!
Probably the best pre-built keyboar you can buy on a budget

Am I the only person who still requires a numpad on my keyboard? It's becoming increasingly harder to find a good quality keyboard with a number pad. I use it for work just as much as I use the keyboard for gaming, so it's not negotiable for me.

Can I use milk switches if I am lactose intolerant?

[LaCreaturaSplungus]

Currently using the Yunzii C68 cat keyboard in coffee color with milk switches and it's amazing. For just under 100$ the stabs and switches are lubed, foam layers, steel plate, foam pad, film layer, socket foam, FULL Silicone rubber case with cat on top, it sounds and feels fucking amazing.

I have an RK96 and absolutely love this keyboard. Although the exterior frame may be plastic, the internal frame is metal and solid. I got the RK96 on sale for about 75 dollars iirc. It was a great upgrade from an LG mechanical keyboard, it was gifted and not my choice, but at an higher cost, less features, no hot swap-ability or RGB. Appreciated the gift, but would have chose differently.

[anderswanlin]

I highly recommend the VGN S99. It is a prebuilt on par with enthusiast level builds. Switches are silky smooth, and the sound is AMAZINGLY thoccy, all at $90.

OK, to add on what they missed about the AULA F75, I would recommend going with reaper linear switches because they sound and feel better for gaming. The keyboard cable is kinda eh, but what matters more is the insane battery life it offers with or without RGB. Personally, I can use it wireless 1000hz for literally a whole month without charging. (without rgb a few hours each day) The best price for this keyboard is $64 on sale whch is insane. Definetly the best keyboard on this list thatI am literally using rn to type this up and I would recommend buying it!

RK R65 is a very good keyboard. Bought several of them in white/green. I did a tape mod on it and, swapped the switches out for Akko Creamy Purple Pro which are tactile feeling (better than Cherry Brown) and swapped the keys out for some Pudding Caps. Looks nice, sounds, nice, feels great.

[ThunderTHR]

Would've been nice if you actually showed some full-size keyboards.
Not a fan of using keyboards that lack particular keys (the Numpad being the biggest example).

I own a RK ROYAL KLUDGE R75 Mechanical Keyboard with Volume Knob, 75% and I love it. I did use a Glorious for years. The R75 is like 60 on Amazon, control the RGB from the keyboard, media knob, and love the clicky sound. No RGB software needed! Much recommended.

Great stuff! I has always been a Razer fanboy since I began gaming 15 or so years ago. I came to the party late as I’m now 57. However, I became frustrated with the Synapse software and feel the company in a rush to do everything … streaming gear, pc components, lighting, etc. … has sacrificed the quality of their keyboards and mice specifically. Not to mention the increasing cost of these items especially! So I picked up a cool keyboard from Drop that was $99 and fell in love with it! It’s important to get out there and explore as soon as many companies are producing amazing things and often at half the cost of the mainstream brands.

I got a $35 keyboard with red cherry switches from some weird named Chinese company on Amazon, and I swear, its the best keyboard Ive ever used lol. Its really heavy, the typing sound is great, is backlit and has a volume knob!

Great video guys! Please keep these kind of videos coming! Very helpful will defiantly be buying one of these cheaper options. Seems like it fits well with you budget friendly channel. GREAT WORK!

[NicholasMartin]

Thank you much for sharing this video! I've been curious, for quite some time whether splurging a sum on high end gaming keyboards is truly worth it or not Your insights have truly enlightened me to the realization that we often splurge unnecessarily for trendy brands or features that aren't essential The comparison you provided between budget friendly alternatives that offer comparable quality and performance was particularly insightful Now I have an idea of what factors to consider when selecting a keyboard to ensure I don't overspend and still enjoy a fantastic gaming experience Excited to see reviews and suggestions ahead. Appreciate the information provided!

I swapped out my old Corsair K55 membrane keyboard for a cheaper Redragon K556 mechanical keyboard with red switches. Gotta say, I'm really enjoying the keyboard. The software is something to be desired, as you have to download different software for EACH Redragon peripheral, but the quality is really nice and the switches are hot swappable. I also grabbed their pudding style keycaps and they are pretty nice considering the price (currently about $15 USD on their website).

There's a lot of nuance to the keyboard hobby. I like everything from "customs", to gaming keyboards to ancient IBM Model F keyboards from the 1980s. I'm currently typing this on a Razer Huntsman Mini with the purple clicky switches. There are things I love about it and things that I hate. There are also things I love and hate about custom keyboards. The only way to know what you will like is to try it.
