1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,680
you're going places kid or at least you would be if your

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:11,120
keyboard didn't have a stupid wire attached to it but i'll tell you what

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:16,480
i bought this whole whack of the top wireless keyboards on amazon in the 30

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:23,840
range so you can be on your way and save a buck we even whipped out

5
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:28,640
the lag meter from goose enterprises to see if the age-old advice of don't use a

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:34,640
cheap wireless keyboard for gaming is even true anymore spoiler alert

7
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:35,680
it's not so we have got some great gems

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,440
in here are you getting bad video quality in your online meetings use glassware to

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,920
instantly see what apps are wasting your bandwidth and block them get 25 off

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,970
today using offer code Linus at the link below

11
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,559
first up today is the klim chroma wireless

12
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:07,280
chroma means color so this board simulated RGB aesthetic something i've

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,119
taken to calling rg wannabe should come as no surprise

14
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:16,479
it's just several different single color led lights and it's not very evenly lit

15
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,560
nor is it very bright but for what it's worth it's got 11 steps of brightness

16
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,400
adjustments which also affects the maximum brightness of its breathing

17
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:30,880
effect which is a rarity on budget boards weighing in at a mere 500 grams

18
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,040
it's got really really bad deck flex and

19
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,560
really mushy switches similar in quality to a lot of the boards from our budget

20
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,159
wired roundup just well without the wire

21
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:43,280
it automatically goes to sleep after one minute of activity which can actually be

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
kind of annoying if you're trying to use it in the dark but it should help the

23
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,640
1300 milliamp hour battery last about two days

24
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,159
if you're lucky which is not very good

25
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,560
at least it comes with a usb type-c charging cable so

26
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,719
nice on the back we've got the on off switch adjustable feet drainage holes in

27
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:07,600
case you do a little spilly and a spot to store your dongle now with magnets

28
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,039
huh how cool is that not enough to redeem it though

29
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,680
especially with the narrow enter key and middle of the road 39 millisecond input

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,680
delay so

31
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,920
what else we got the pictek f1 this one

32
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:26,640
doesn't have a rechargeable battery instead requiring a single double a that

33
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,680
it doesn't come with but the typing experience on this memcanical doesn't

34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:36,239
suck other than the kind of springy cheap sounding space bar

35
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,120
and on top of that it's got dedicated media keys and a battery indicator light

36
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,879
that's courteous of them this puppy also comes with a mouse that features a soft

37
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:50,640
touch rubber finish across the whole top and a separate on off toggle for the

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,120
mouse and also for actually we have no

39
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:57,840
idea of what this second toggle does as far as input lag goes this board

40
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,200
ended up second to last with a 46 millisecond delay from pressing the

41
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,519
button to our leg meter detecting a signal so i wouldn't recommend this one

42
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:10,560
at least for gaming next up is the artec hw 192 an amazon

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,959
best seller don't be alarmed by the thin box and

44
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:20,480
flexible board though because this thing actually isn't too bad to type on in

45
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,319
fact it's pretty tactile it's got large keys with large letters on them and a

46
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:29,680
steel accent along the bottom to drive home its executive look it's got an on

47
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,280
off switch on the front very handy as well as secondary media keys and a

48
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:38,000
couple of bonus keys beside the indicator leds although i have to say

49
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,080
the power led which blinks to indicate the battery level and the charge status

50
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,319
led should probably just have been one light instead of two

51
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:51,200
there's no adjustable legs but it does get some tilt from the battery bump

52
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:53,680
which both say claimed 250 hours of use

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:58,319
or up to a thousand days of standby it's not very gamery and the middle of the

54
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,560
road input delay reinforces that but i can actually recommend this one for

55
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,280
office use just don't leave them a three star review unless you want their team

56
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,680
to email you like nine times next up is

57
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,599
the drevo caliber for wait sixty dollars

58
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,880
i think we ordered this keyboard for a different video but what the hey this

59
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:22,880
compact mechanical keyboard uses atemo blue switches that well

60
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,280
definitely feel better than a membrane but do have a bit of a metallic twang

61
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,199
sound if you're not into that it's got eight lighting effects plus two profiles

62
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,600
for programming your own the space bar acts as a battery meter which is cool

63
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:40,639
and the caps lock indicator light is its own color very thoughtful it does not

64
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,919
have a 2.4 gigahertz dongle but there are three bluetooth profiles if you

65
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,280
switch device frequently and it goes to sleep after 30 seconds to keep you from

66
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,120
bringing out the braided micro b charging cable too often

67
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:55,280
not a bad little board too bad some of the keys are mislabeled and also our leg

68
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,320
tester doesn't work with bluetooth so this guy remains a bit of an unknown but

69
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:05,919
hey maybe you want a keyboard and a mouse why not check out the lexon elec

70
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:11,600
hk 600 combo well here's a few reasons it's

71
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,520
mush city the enter key is narrow the

72
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,199
angle of the keycaps makes them catch on your fingers and while it does come with

73
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,840
a mouse pad it's like random like what is this like pubg

74
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:26,000
overstock mouse pad or something the mouse's scroll wheel is scratchy and

75
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:30,400
for some final insult to injury it had the most input lag out of every keyboard

76
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:34,479
we tested oh and by the way you're gonna need a couple of double a's to run this

77
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,479
set and it comes with zero and there's no built-in charging ports whatsoever so

78
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:41,199
make sure you account for that while we're at it here's a couple more

79
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,080
dishonorable mentions do not buy the soak 6 combo because the

80
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,680
legend is blurry the indicator lights always look off and the construction is

81
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:56,240
generally bad then follow up by also avoiding the

82
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,720
lang2 lt600 combo the mouse is a total

83
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,320
write-off what are these ergonomics the space bar sounds springy

84
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:09,120
and the one-star rating on amazon is 26

85
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,120
a quarter of people who buy this rate it one star that's about two to three times

86
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:18,960
higher than usual even in the extreme budget category for a better deal look

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,440
to none other than the mk 345 combo from

88
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,280
logitech you'll notice immediately that the plastic is higher quality than

89
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,600
anything we've seen so far the keys actually have a tactile bump to them

90
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,560
even though they are not mechanical key switches there's an integrated plastic

91
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,000
wrist rest and when logitech claims 36

92
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,400
months of life from the included batteries i tend to believe them now the

93
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,680
mouse is a little on the small side but it has an ergonomic shape and an

94
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:50,080
included compartment for the unified dongle so it's okay i guess but the

95
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:51,440
keyboard has one big quality downside

96
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,759
the legend it's just stickers

97
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,720
obviously that's not gonna last very long

98
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,440
and that's also a problem on our next entrant also from logitech the k350

99
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,599
although i can still recommend it if you don't mind a bit of a bigger board it's got a

100
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,840
slight contour for reducing pronation of the forearm and a nice leather at wrist

101
00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:19,280
rest there's an assortment of giant media keys a generous helping of drain

102
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,599
holes and these nifty two-tiered legs

103
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:26,080
that engage with a nice quality snap compared to the rest it's great to

104
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,759
type on even if you have to adapt to its non-standard navigation cluster and

105
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:34,720
considering that this board is still sold on logitech's own website for 60

106
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,039
dollars it's a steal on amazon for under 40. so unless you like led lights more

107
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,880
than long battery life i'm going to say the brand name products came out ahead

108
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:47,520
on this roundup because the logi boards are easily the best value of the bunch

109
00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:52,400
as an added bonus if you're looking to game on your cheap wireless keyboard

110
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:56,879
both of these logitechs beat every other keyboard in our latency tests at around

111
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:01,759
21 milliseconds which was within two milliseconds of our control inexpensive

112
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,960
wired keyboard dang it's almost like logitech knows what

113
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:10,479
they're doing when it comes to peripherals or something isn't it do you think making a website is hard

114
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,560
have you been watching this channel for the last six years because with

115
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:19,039
squarespace it doesn't have to be if you use squarespace you'll have a website up

116
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:22,560
and running in a matter of hours maybe even faster than that they've got

117
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,400
award-winning templates that'll help make your website stand out instead of

118
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,360
looking like it's from the 90s and if you're interested in how your

119
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,120
website is performing they've got built-in tools to help you find out what

120
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,680
you're doing right and what you're doing wrong both our Linus media group and ltx

121
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:42,000
expo websites were built quickly using squarespace and if you ever get stuck

122
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:45,760
like uh you know we have from time to time they have a 24 7 support team

125
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:59,760
guys enjoyed this video maybe check out one of our previous uh budget roundups

126
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:05,280
they're lots of fun if you enjoy seeing some good value stuff and then some

127
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:10,030
really bad stuff kind of get pooped on
