you've seen one keyboard you've seen them all
right wrong we spent hours coming
AliExpress for the coolest wackiest
finger candy that we could find and well we ordered all of them how is this even
a keyboard got this foldable to match my
phone wow I've got a freaking laser keyboard whatever that means but aside
from the meme boards some of these cost serious bucks so they better at least be
you know good enough that what the heck
oh I get it this one is supposed to be
waterproof and Silent it's all over my lap and only
$13.50 wow that's less than the price of this towel from LTT Store.com that I'm
using to clean up the mess one moment
please portable durable and comfortable
they say and 4.7 stars with 59 sold in
15 reviews wow that's actually pretty
promising oh my God this is so much
worse than I could have possibly
anticipated I mean I thought you were just being a diva plof was the one who
prepped this so if it's not a $400 mechanical keyboard it's basically but
wow uh David do you have a close enough up view to see how when I press one key
the entire keyboard Doms up can can you
see it shifting way up
here no back space come on come on you
have to work fine oh my
God 65 words per minute 85% accuracy I
blame the non-functioning backspace okay maybe I just got to shake out the
water to their credit everything they claim is basically true it does roll it
does appear to be waterproof and it is silent comfortable okay hold on we're
going to try one more time last time last time I swear to God it is not
working that's going to be a nay goes in
the pile Oh nay like this seg nay to our
sponsor oh no iix it celebrate iFixit
20th anniversary and grab yourself a prot tech tool kit this summer using the
link down below next we have the doo
wired keyboard with expansion doc type-c Hub USB 3.0 HDMI adapter docking station
for iPad Huawei Samsung backlit keyboard
watch this this is a good trip oh yeah I was a bus boy in another
life PCIe bus o I kind of like this comes with two
little feet so you can adjust the angle if you want oh God h
wow is this waterproofing the keyboard or is this a dust cover a dust cover are
you sure there's only one way to find out yeah it seems pretty waterproof to
me yeah all right all right Doo this is
an extremely short keyboard cable right
it's right in the name it's a dock this
then goes to my laptop and then my power
adapter goes here this is pretty cool you've got HDMI out micro SD SD and four
USB 3 Type A ports that's way more IO
than most laptops have oh oh one of
them's USB 2 they got the color coding wrong super cool the card reader works
the power pass through works the keyboard works it's not great
all that docking capability plus 100 WS
of pass through for your laptop aluminum construction a backlight okay yeah it's
over $100 even when it's on discount but
as long as the typing experience is
okay I can't say I'm generally a big fan of round keycaps but 114 words per
minute 96% accuracy for me that's a very good result the USB cable is extremely
short but it's mobile focused they really talk a lot about iPad using it
with your laptop so I guess I kind of get it and at least it's thick you know
what I'm giving this one a Yay good pile
where's the good pile I wasn't expecting to have a good pile next up is the h18
plus air mouse mini touch keyboard large how is this even a keyboard two
kinds of operation mode touch mode and keyboard
mode press this key to switch between the modes what key do I press to power
oh oh oh I think I saw some keyboard
there for a second whoa
this looks utterly unusable
however who there's your
mouse and that oh
oh yep definitely one at a time does it
have a gyro yeah that's a big fat
no you know as a weekly user of a very
similar product from sedo that has a little keyboard and then is a gyroscopic
Mouse I I got to say I don't like this
having to choose between having a touchpad at all and having a keyboard at
all is a real bummer
hello world I was trying to put my finger on
what's so off about this it's an orthol linear
layout no offense no offense if you love Ortho the notes say don't know what
you'd use this for but whether it's a media PC an NVIDIA Shield Apple TV
having something like this kicking around so that you can enter passwords
and things like that can be an absolute godsend and it's a relatively small
investment at 20 bucks on
sale 22 words per minute y nice I'd say the main benefit
is just that if you need to enter special characters for passwords this is
going to be a little faster than using game controller or your TV
remote I am really excited about this next one though the foldable Bluetooth
wireless keyboard with touchpad ultra slim pocket folding
keyboard wow as
advertised she folds she
unfolds and she's got a keyboard and a
touchpad I wouldn't mind if the height
was the same across the board is there any reason it's not NOP
it just kind of has funky hinges I think it's just because of this kind of faux
leather texture on the back of it includes a carrying
case ooh this along with these cleaning
brushes are apparently a bonus for being among the first 30 orders yep that's a
makeup brush this is obviously just a charging
cable it's type- C though that's pretty nice I want to see if it just works over
a wire because sometimes Bluetooth devices do
not there's a lot to like here Multi-Device connectivity gesture
compatibility on the touchpad the inclusion of a full number pad I'm not a
huge fan of the fact that it doesn't appear to connect over a wire it only
charges over a wire but hopefully it's a
pretty quick pairing process let's just
see
wait how do you turn it on oh there should be a switch oh God okay we
figured this out we figured out the problem aside from being plugged in hold
on I bet it just starts working
too here we go you have to power it
on and no it only communicates over
Bluetooth but we actually have a chance of that working now cool we're in
pairing mode yeah Bluetooth keyboard
here we go I believe yes Bluetooth is
not the best connectivity standard for a trackpad that's a little laggy and now
that I look a little closer at the keyboard there's some neat functions
here like the fact that you can switch between iOS and mac and Android and
Windows mode including the functions of the F keys but the layout is a little
funky key yeah you got this numpad over here which is great but you're also
going to be way offc centered and they've crammed all of the alpha Keys
into a very small spit oh that t is cut
off and
V that V uh O
Okay 88 words per minute with 90%
accuracy I mean considering that this is just for blasting out a quick memo when
you're on the go on your iPad something like that I kind of like it especially
for $33 it'd be nice if it automatically turned off or went into standby instead
of having a physical rocker switch but it gets over 30 hours of battery and
takes just an hour and a half to charge so at least it's a quick problem to
remedy you know what I'm giving this a
yay of course at Double the size of my phone that's still pretty big and why
carry that around when I could use a laser projection keyboard
I've been aware of these for quite some time but I have never had the pleasure
or from what I've heard displeasure of actually using
one let's see how this goes it's got
micr be for charging power button one of those little strap passrs
because what you're going to carry this on your wrist I guess uh oh a warning cuz it's a laser
all right so oh okay it just starts
immediately medely blasting out laser so
that's good if you're not familiar with these the way they work is they have a
depth sensing camera of some sort and then they have just a laser projector so
that you can type like right on any flat
surface in front of you I don't see how
to pair it oh oh sorry what did you pair it with
before you know what I think it's on mine keep keep I can try
yeah it's to my laptop
oh okay way to go plof yeah if you disconnected it should automatically go
into pairing mode according to the instructions in the meantime we can have
a look at the product page for this Superior durability that makes sense no
moving Parts lithium ion battery
compatible with iOS 4 Android
2.1 Windows XP and above I mean to be
clear they're probably not wrong it's just that whenever you see such old
operating systems on a product page kind of makes you question how uh current the
design is this is interesting though am I able to move the keyboard or shrink
and grow
it I'm going to try to do something with
it hello world holy crap it actually
works I don't have a semicolon
okay so my home row is here which puts my space bar way over
to the left what the devil is this diagonal Arrow do do you know the
answers to these questions what what does
what what does diagonal ar oh it's dim
now I am con
try I was trying to type I am trying to touch type we got real close um real
close I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this one but let's go ahead
and do the typing test
anyway W I'm touch typing
oh 22 words per minute accuracy
91% at 32 bucks I mean I could see
picking it up just for a party trick but beyond that
I'm sorry but this is an a how is this a keyboard Bluetooth
compatible wireless rgp mechanical keyboard with two knobs small gaming
keyboard it's adorable I mean it's really cute wait
okay shut up this has hot swappable key switches
I can't tell what this is is this for enthusiasts or children it uses type c
it's pretty modern this actually feels like a reasonable quality like braided
cable connection mode wow it does it does Bluetooth as well question why
can't I open the setup software after downloading it answer check whether the
antivirus software is intercepted set it as a trusted file to run it oh god well
if our channel gets hijacked again you'll know why there's a red light here
that seems to stay on regardless of the position of the
switch uh yes let's start at the
left ABCDE e
f a b CDE e
f okay what about this
one a b CDE e
f whoa oh okay
1 3 6 4 1 2
three five four damn um I've been
informed I'm not expected to do a typing test on this which is good it's just
intended to be a macro pad this switch flips between the three layers which
have to be programmed using their software how safe that software is I
have absolutely no idea but it claims 20
days of battery life and allows you to connect either via Bluetooth or via a
wire it's certainly cute the build quality is a
solid okay it's got to be a nay because
it uses this like random weird software
this one I have really high hopes for
this looks sick yeah it's a tablet keyboard 28 bucks they've sold a
whopping 13 some of these sales numbers
I really got wonder how sustainable is it to do the tooling for these things
that costs money anyway the point is it has
RGB which I'm not sure how to use but
I'm sure I'll figure out at some point oh it didn't include a USBC cable oh
there's a power switch though okay powert ooh
yes okay that's pretty sick chicklet
style Keys all the F shortcut keys that
you would expect for an iPad or something like that okay how do we pair
though oh connect yes function C hey
it's flashing all right I've got
it wow it is not very great to type on
um I love that the battery looks like this it work oh wow it's wow that is
shockingly laggy uh wow
this made the previous Bluetooth what look amazing you the he all
right you know how the top end mice these days will use greater than 1,000
HZ polling for blah blah smooth Etc
okay 10 htz it doesn't bode well for typing
accuracy if that's the polling rate
let's give it a shot
what the hell just happened it opened my inbox uh one moment
please holy I just hit 120 words per
minute with 97% accuracy on this piece of that's the best you've done so far
the trackpad is n unusable but has a keyboard
I can't argue with the results here am I even that fast on the real keyboard on
my laptop do we need a do we need a point of reference
here 112 94%
accuracy I was having some Focus issues there not going to lie but um you can't
deny the results here if the trackpad was better this would be a definite yay
just because of how slim it is I could see for students this just being
absolutely killer and the layout is it's
it's compact but it's not stupid everything's kind of where it's supposed
to be you're not going to be fumbling for the backspace or shift or anything
critical like that for only keyboard
use can't deny the results all right it's a yay I doubt the
same thing is going to happen here though this appears to be an attempt at
making a gaming Pad but all they've really done is hack off most of a
keyboard I don't see the point I love your notes for this one how the f is
this ultra slim yeah there's nothing slim about this at all this is a full
height like mechanical ass keyboard except it's not even a mechanical
keyboard it's a membrane keyboard did you lift off any of the key caps they
just Sprint it they just sprayed the
whole thing black with the key caps installed there's overspray everywhere
this Legend is going to come off immediately this is a cheap piece of
crap is it at least cheap it's
$464 well I mean that's something
especially with a backlight although I shouldn't be that impressed because it's
basically a third the price of a cheap
RGB membrane keyboard and it's a third
of a cheap RGB membrane keyboard this is what they were going for you know with
ergonomic improvements and a d-pad and you know a gaming pad right but this is
what they ended up with you know
wait I'm about to justify the existence of this thing with a 10 keyless you end
up in a more ergonomic POS no stop stop
face palming okay no I'm serious I'm serious though if if you are a low
sensitivity gamer and you don't want to use a gaming
pad you just want to use a regular old
keyboard that's a lot of extra mousing space I mean this is a piece of crap but
I could see something like this having a reason to exist yeah I could I could at
least use a couple more of these like maybe give me give me one more you know
one more column here you know what it's
a a um but but it's a it's a potential
for yay if it was a little better and I'm going to do the typing
test oh crap that one I could have typed damn it but I have no back
space zero words per minute 0% accuracy
and you're out of here bringing us to the machai key
probably the most ordinary mechanical keyboard of the lot except that we
wanted to get an idea of what a $250 mechanical keyboard on AliExpress
might look like even if it's on sale for
$117 you know what though I can't fault
their stoy that actually looks pretty
cool it includes a dongle with a type-c
cable adapter for 2.4 GHz functionality
it also connects via Bluetooth it has what whatever the devil this is okay
we're going to have to figure that out it includes both a key cap and key
switch puller no way does this have hot swappable key switches okay that's
pretty cool at this price point yes yes it does these are very cheap
switches what the hell is gr rule H H oh
backlight RGB backlighting am I just you
know am I just out of touch with the keyboard scene or does this actually
seem kind of not that bad oh yeah at 250
obviously it's totally out to lunch but this is clearly like regularly
discounted so injection mold the PBT yeah they feel really good I kind of
liking this thing oh they have some really cool color schemes too why did
you pick the green and yellow one what the heck ploof and it's wireless and
it's as cool as you are oh I figured out
what toggle bar does I wouldn't be
surprised if it's programmable in some way but it goes to
desktop it's the it's the no I'm actually not um Mom don't worry about
that there's nothing on my screen button perky RGB giant 4,000 mAh battery yes
confirms that the toggle bar can be configured to things like pause play uh
skip brightness volume realistically anything you want hopefully you don't
need their their software for that o I like
this volume knob though of course it all
comes down to Monkey type
though 116 95% accuracy yep it's a
mechanical keyboard all right posting one of the best results and look at this
a man I didn't even notice the back this thing looks freaking cool with that said
the Labs did take a quick look at this one cuz given that it was one of the
best performers we were kind of thinking oh this thing could end up with a
recommendation is there anything that we're not noticing and they did notice
that the input latency is all over the place anywhere from 10 to 30
milliseconds on wired and 20 to 40 on
wireless which is pretty unusual for a keyboard of this caliber they actually
asked for it back to do even more testing maybe we'll have a comment pinned with some more thoughts and you
know what else we're going to have down below the video is a link to our sponsor

video where we bought a game console full of pirated games on AliExpress as
always guys even though credit cards can have their downsides I would recommend
having the cash on hand and using a credit card when you buy from sites like
AliExpress we ordered a total of 15 and
nine ended up showing up so uh it's nice to have features like chargeback to
ensure that you do actually get the thing you paid for whether it's a piece
of junk or whether it's actually kind of cool like this one
