00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.720
just a couple of years ago a keyboard like this would have cost you over $200

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.840
wè sponsored this video so I can show you the

00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:14.280
sk75 a beautiful mechanical keyboard

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:19.279
that costs a whole lot less than that

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:22.960
about $110 in fact you like that yeah

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:25.199
it's a 75% mechanical keyboard hot swap

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.679
PCB what else we got in this box we got a w box with probably a cable it is

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:35.320
Wireless it's got a 4,000 amp hour battery and three different modes like

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:39.120
all the good ones do but I am a cabled man myself I don't like the cable very

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:44.160
much but you know what it's perfectly fine maybe that's how they're cutting the cost a little bit it's got a fite

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:53.680
bead here and it's pretty long I'll give him that oh yeah 6ot

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:55.600
cable H I'm not 6 foot so typical USB a

00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:59.559
to c what else we got we got a bunch of bags here we got three extra switches I

00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:05.519
think these are their mint blizzard switch should be a nice Palm linear ooh

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:11.600
that's nice we got three of these we got three extra key caps uh the only problem

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:16.119
that I have right now is these don't fit the color scheme at all so I'm not going

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.119
to use them just green red yellow command command opt so if you want to

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:26.360
use Mac go ahead and swap these out so you don't get confused when you're trying to find the right Keys later

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.320
we've also got a nice key cap and switch

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:32.600
puller this is always my favorite one for people to to include because just

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.159
these little wires here are so good for getting key caps off really easy and

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:39.880
then uh this is just a great little switch puller I don't know I personally

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:43.520
just really strongly prefer this this type so thank you very much for

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:47.880
including it and then we've got ooh okay three other key

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:53.399
caps these ones actually do match the rest of our keyboard it's a nice kind of

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:56.520
like soft baby blue love to see it looks

00:01:53.399 --> 00:01:58.240
like they're double shot PBT as well

00:01:56.520 --> 00:02:04.119
look at that it matches our new macad dress Oxford shirt perfectly this nice

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.000
pastel blue with this keyboard oh my God

00:02:04.119 --> 00:02:12.000
okay on more serious not let's look at the keyboard itself the only thing left

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:16.480
in the Box it's heavy and not just because it's an all aluminum chassis but

00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:23.040
also because it's got a nice little cool weight on the bottom does it do anything

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:25.319
no will you see it most of the time no

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.680
but damn it does it look cool when you look at the bottom of the board uh one

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:35.480
really cool feature about the SK 75 is that not only can you get this back

00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:39.200
weight in a number of styles but you can also get these cool accent frames in

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:43.080
different styles so check this out they actually sent us one you could swap it

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:46.560
out to something white with this like granity rock kind of texture I'm not

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.120
sure what that one's called but it's shiny and looks pretty

00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:53.480
imagine the possibilities they're endless well they're not endless but

00:02:52.760 --> 00:03:00.239
they have a lot of different combinations that you can check out and choose from because this keyboard comes

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.560
in a variety of colors as well uh so you

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:05.920
can really kind of choose whatever you want that suits your own style or your

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:09.440
desk setup or whatever you're looking for uh while we're looking at the back

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.480
we can see that it's got four little rubber feet here works well enough I

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:17.239
like the little nubb and feet but uh if you want to keep it nice and flesh with

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:22.239
the desk these work a little better than the Nubs one thing I've kind of noticed now that I'm looking at it is that I

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:28.000
don't actually see any kind of switch anywhere to turn it on and off or toggle

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:32.480
between the different Wireless modes um and that's because it's just got this

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:40.200
USBC plug at the top here if you want to turn it on you got to take off the caps

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:44.400
lock key ah and then here it is you got

00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:48.040
this nice little toggle switch oop turn

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.080
it on this is an aesthetic choice and I

00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:54.280
personally really like it because I'm the kind of person who doesn't ever use

00:03:52.760 --> 00:04:00.000
the different Wireless modes that are available I tend to stay wired and if I

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:01.879
am using one it's typically just 2.4 GHz

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.799
cuz there's less latency involved so if you're the kind of person who's who's

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:09.439
like actively switching all the time because you got it hooked up to different devices or you're traveling a

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:15.200
lot with it I don't think you should travel with this thing cuz it's pretty heavy but you do you um it could be kind

00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:20.079
of annoying is it hard to take a single key cap off and then flick this switch

00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:24.840
no it's really not you know that takes all of a couple seconds but it's not

00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:28.720
always especially with these uh oh really nice edges uh it's actually

00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:32.600
really hard to take this off with your fingers so you you've got to keep the

00:04:30.919 --> 00:04:36.400
keycap puller handy and I don't think everyone's going to do that you do you

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:40.880
it's your choice I personally really like it and I think it looks great I

00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:44.759
think it's a fantastic way to hide certain things that kind of look a

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:48.120
little less desirable but definitely something to think about and consider

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.759
when you're making this purchase one thing that I didn't catch cuz it was

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.800
jammed all the way in the back of the box there is it does in fact come with a

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:59.320
dongle so don't worry if you do want to use 2.4 GHz you're set otherwise for

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:04.080
Bluetooth connectivity it should work just fine you just you know turn it on

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:07.960
hit function tab that's probably Bluetooth blinking blue such a sucker

00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.960
for heavy keyboards you're a sucker I am a sucker

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:20.759
all right ooh 1.8 kilos baby 4.1 lb incredible 65.8 o

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.520
love weighing everything in ounces it's a little hard to see the internals without taking it apart but you can see

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:30.840
here we've got this nice clear white plastic it's a flex cut polypropylene

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:37.080
plate and this whole thing's gasket mounted with a ton of foam layers in

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.080
between everything and I've got to

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:47.039
say sounds pretty good I'd like it to be a little bit more marble and creamy and

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:49.160
deep but you can probably achieve that

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:54.639
by modding it just a little bit honestly for

00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:55.759
a like zero rattle in the stabilizers uh

00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:02.479
one of the nice things that I really like about 75% boards that you don't really get with a 65% board is the F row

00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:05.800
um I know that you can just hit function five and it's the same as F5 I know that

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.479
you can hit function alt four and it's the same as hitting alt f4 but there's

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:13.360
just something a bit more satisfying but only using two fingers rather than three

00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.199
and not needing this whole extra hand in there I mean I guess you can really like

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:20.479
I can still technically hit alt f4 with one hand but uh it's a little

00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:26.160
uncomfortable so yeah personally I prefer a 75% over 65% the typing angle

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.720
seems totally fine once again I'm going to complain a little bit that we don't

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:34.639
have adjustable feet but I get it especially when it comes to full

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.880
aluminum chassis uh it's not something people seem to really care about except

00:06:36.039 --> 00:06:41.280
for me so I'll just go home and cry at the end of the day when I don't get them

00:06:39.599 --> 00:06:45.560
um but otherwise this thing is pretty solid for being 110 bucks the switches

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:49.840
feel good they're just linear ah the typing experience really is just solid

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:53.440
right out of the box I would like to put a bit of space bar foam in here just to

00:06:52.039 --> 00:06:57.759
make it a bit deeper to match the rest of the keys a little bit but uh it's not

00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:04.800
too far off so it's not too bad it's got a pretty nice PCB in here Flex cut fr4

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:07.440
hot swap south facing RGB LEDs pretty

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:12.840
much everything you want I'm not crazy about Flex cut cuz I like a really like

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:16.560
con super consistent typing style even if it's a little firmer even the

00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:21.319
actually the gaskets don't feel this is kind of firm out of the box

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:25.280
I actually kind of like this as for Branding and stuff you don't really get

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:28.960
a lot it's just a little womier symbol here in the bottom right nicely embossed

00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:33.039
into the rest of the aluminum yeah there's no screws like anywhere so it's

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:36.280
probably one of those ones where you have to take all the key caps off here

00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:40.919
let me just investigate do a little bit of

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:46.720
Investigation here yep so we've got one screw here um it's kind of okay you you

00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:51.039
know people are devisive about this too but uh I prefer when it's all just the

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:56.039
same little tiny Phillips head I know that uh Allen keys are really good um

00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:00.560
but if you don't have a tiny Allen key set then it might be hard for you to take this thing apart that's one thing I

00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:04.319
noticed they did not include with everything so if you do want to fully

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:08.240
disassemble it do whatever you want to it you're not going to be able to do that without picking up an allen key but

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.800
yeah it's pretty simple there's probably just like one here one here couple here

00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:16.720
just around the board probably like six or eight screws that you have to take off to then take the whole thing apart

00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:21.599
take all the keys off take the switches off all that so we're not going to do that though cuz uh I think it types

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:25.599
pretty good out of the box I'm just going to connect it to a

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:30.479
computer and try to type on it one thing I do appreciate is that the

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:34.919
white really does match the key caps I would love it if it was blue but here we

00:08:32.680 --> 00:08:37.839
are uh another really nice thing to note is that this does not have any

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:41.479
proprietary software it's all via controlled so if you do want to do any

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:46.640
sort of customization ooh that RGB is really good I don't know if it's just

00:08:43.839 --> 00:08:53.080
the strength of the uh LEDs that they've got on the PCB or if it's just how clear

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:54.680
the cases are on the switches but man

00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:59.839
that that is a bright keyboard I don't know how much it's showing up on camera but it's really good in person here it

00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:02.800
is with the lights off looks pretty good you're definitely not going to miss

00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:06.279
anything in the dark one thing about the RGB and the key caps is that they're not

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:11.120
shine through they're double shot PBT like I mentioned before so if you want

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:14.240
to like actually see the the light shine through the key caps to form the letters

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.600
uh you're not going to get that here you're going to have to buy some extra key caps but you know shine through key

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:23.560
caps aren't that expensive all right let's type on it and

00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:23.560
away we

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:32.320
go I did 110 97 % I'm not super happy

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.200
with it it feels really good to type on it doesn't feel good to speed type on

00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:39.360
just cuz like how deep everything goes I've been typing on uh like short throw

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:43.240
uh chicklet keyboards a lot recently on my laptop and I've gotten used to just

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:47.480
like really kind of feather touching everything and you know barely having to

00:09:44.839 --> 00:09:52.160
press to to type fast but that's excuses the reality is it sounded good it felt

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:56.839
pretty good I'm kind of into linear again so I don't know do I take this

00:09:53.959 --> 00:10:01.120
thing back to my desk honestly maybe I mentioned that it's wireless earlier the

00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:05.160
battery in here is 4,000 milliamp hours which is not bad the only thing I worry

00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.440
about personally is how long it actually lasts with this RGB blasting at you cuz

00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:12.839
like I said before it's actually really bright and that's typically what's going

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.200
to kill your battery life on your keyboard more than anything else so

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:23.360
maybe just be a little cognizant of that um but otherwise I think this thing is

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:27.959
honestly a really solid buy for like $110 there's a lot of keyboards around

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:31.560
this price and so you do have options these days which is fantastic

00:10:30.040 --> 00:10:35.079
um like I said at the start of this video just a couple of years back that

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:41.720
really wasn't the case if you wanted to get something that's full aluminum RGB

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:43.320
Wireless with a decent battery hot swap

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.880
especially something fully built with switches and key caps you were looking

00:10:44.839 --> 00:10:50.880
at at least $130 $150 minimum if not in

00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:56.120
the more in the 200 range so it's actually really good to see something

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:57.959
like this that's the sk75 from wiir

00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:02.120
thanks again for sponsoring this video what do you guys think what's your new

00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:06.079
favorite ultimate tier budget board and not something that's you know a little

00:11:03.880 --> 00:11:12.040
cheap or plastic I'm talking full aluminum full keyboard RGB hot swap

00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.959
Wireless what do you got let me know in the comments thanks for watching make

00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:18.200

waving you can just stop the video at any time that's a really long way
