00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,400
Just a couple of years ago, a keyboard like this would have cost you over $200.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,200
Womere sponsored this video so I can show you the SK75, a beautiful mechanical keyboard that costs

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:21,440
a whole lot less than that. About $110 in fact. You like that? Yeah. It's a 75% mechanical keyboard,

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,480
hot swap PCB. What else have we got in this box? We got a Womere box with probably a cable. It is

5
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,160
wireless. It's got a 4,000 mAh battery and three different modes like all the good ones do.

6
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,040
But I am a cabled man myself. I don't like the cable very much, but you know what? It's perfectly

7
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,280
fine. Maybe that's how they're cutting the cost a little bit. It's got a ferrite bead here and it's

8
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:54,400
pretty long. I'll give them that. Oh yeah. Six foot cable? I'm not six foot. Typical USB A to C.

9
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,080
What else we got? We've got a bunch of bags here. We've got three extra switches.

10
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,160
I think these are their mint blizzard switches. Should be a nice palm linear.

11
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Oh, that's nice. We got three of these. We got three extra keycaps. The only problem that I have

12
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,040
right now is these don't fit the color scheme at all. So I'm not going to use them. Just green,

13
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,240
red, yellow, command, command, opt. So if you want to use Mac, go ahead and swap these out so you

14
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,840
don't get confused when you're trying to find the right keys later. We've also got a nice keycap

15
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,200
and switch puller. This is always my favorite one for people to include because just these

16
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,000
little wires here are so good for getting keycaps off. Really easy. And then this is just a great

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,400
little switch puller. I don't know. I personally just really strongly prefer this type. So thank

18
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,720
you very much for including it. And then we've got, ooh, okay. Three other keycaps. These ones

19
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:53,200
actually do match the rest of our keyboard. It's a nice kind of like soft baby blue. Love to see it.

20
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Looks like they're double shot PBT as well. Look at that. It matches our new Mac Address

21
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Oxford shirt perfectly. This is a nice pastel blue with this keyboard. Oh my God. Okay. I'm more

22
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:11,280
serious. No, let's look at the keyboard itself. The only thing left in the box. It's heavy and

23
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,480
not just because it's an all aluminum chassis, but also because it's got a nice little cool

24
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,960
weight on the bottom. Does it do anything? No. Will you see it most of the time? No,

25
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,640
but damn it. Does it look cool when you look at the bottom of the board?

26
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,600
One really cool feature about the SK75 is that not only can you get this back weight

27
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,000
in a number of styles, but you can also get these cool accent frames in different styles.

28
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,480
So check this out. They actually sent us one. You could swap it out to something white with this

29
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,280
like granity rock kind of texture. I'm not sure what that one's called, but it's shiny and looks

30
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,200
pretty. Imagine the possibilities. They're endless. Well, they're not endless, but they have a lot of

31
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,920
different combinations that you can check out and choose from because this keyboard comes in a variety

32
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:03,440
of colors as well. So you can really kind of choose whatever you want that suits your own style or

33
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,320
your desk setup or whatever you're looking for. While we're looking at the back, we can see that

34
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,680
it's got four little rubber feet here. Works well enough. I like the little nubbin feet,

35
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,680
but if you want to keep it nice and flush with the desk, these work a little better than the nubs.

36
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,840
One thing I've kind of noticed now that I'm looking at it is that I don't actually see any kind of

37
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:28,400
switch anywhere to turn it on and off or toggle between the different wireless modes. And that's

38
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,720
because it's just got this USB-C plug at the top here. If you want to turn it on, you got to take

39
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:45,200
off the caps lock key and then here it is. You got this nice little toggle switch. Turn it on.

40
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,520
This is an aesthetic choice and I personally really like it because I'm the kind of person who doesn't

41
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,960
ever use the different wireless modes that are available. I tend to stay wired and if I am using

42
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,080
one, it's typically just 2.4 gigahertz because there's less latency involved. So if you're the

43
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,760
kind of person who's like actively switching all the time because you've got it hooked up to

44
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,920
different devices or you're traveling a lot with it, I don't think you should travel with this

45
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,880
thing because it's pretty heavy, but you do you. It could be kind of annoying. Is it hard to take

46
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,400
a single keycap off and then flick this switch? No, it's really not. You know, that takes all of

47
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:27,600
a couple seconds, but it's not always, especially with these really nice edges. It's actually really

48
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,400
hard to take this off with your fingers. So you've got to keep the keycap puller handy and I don't

49
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,520
think everyone's going to do that. You do you. It's your choice. I personally really like it and I

50
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,720
think it looks great. I think it's a fantastic way to hide certain things that kind of look a little

51
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,840
less desirable, but definitely something to think about and consider when you're making this purchase.

52
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,360
One thing that I didn't catch because it was jammed all the way in the back of the box there

53
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,160
is it does in fact come with a dongle. So don't worry if you do want to use 2.4 gigahertz,

54
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,240
you're set. Otherwise, for Bluetooth connectivity, it should work just fine. You just, you know,

55
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,120
turn it on, hit function tab. That's probably Bluetooth blinking blue. Such a sucker for heavy

56
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:19,280
keywords. I am a sucker all right. Oh, 1.8 kilos, baby. 4.1 pounds. Incredible. 65.8 ounces. Love

57
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,880
weighing everything in ounces. It's a little hard to see the internals without taking it apart,

58
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,280
but you can see here we've got this nice clear white plastic. It's a flex cut polypropylene plate

59
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:34,560
and this whole thing's gasket mounted with a ton of foam layers in between everything. And I've

60
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:44,080
got to say it sounds pretty good. I'd like it to be a little bit more marbly and creamy and deep,

61
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,360
but you could probably achieve that by modding it just a little bit. Honestly, for

62
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,880
a like zero rattle in the stabilizers, one of the nice things that I really like about 75%

63
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,400
boards that you don't really get with a 65% board is the FRO. I know that you can just hit function

64
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,400
five and it's the same as F5. I know that you can hit function alt four and it's the same as hitting

65
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,720
alt F4, but there's just something a bit more satisfying, but only using two fingers rather

66
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,040
than three and not needing this whole extra hand in there. I mean, I guess you can really like,

67
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,440
I can still technically hit alt F4 with one hand, but it's a little uncomfortable. So yeah,

68
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,920
personally, I prefer a 75% over 65%. The typing angle seems totally fine. Once again,

69
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,960
I'm going to complain a little bit that we don't have adjustable feet, but I get it, especially

70
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,000
when it comes to full aluminum chassis. It's not something people seem to really care about except

71
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,320
for me. So I'll just go home and cry at the end of the day when I don't get them. But otherwise,

72
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,080
this thing is pretty solid for being 110 bucks. The switches feel good. They're just

73
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,680
linear. The typing experience really is just solid right out of the box. I would like to

74
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,920
put a bit of spacebar foam in here just to make it a bit deeper to match the rest of the keys a

75
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,200
little bit, but it's not too far off. So it's not too bad. It's got a pretty nice PCB in here,

76
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:07,440
flex cut, FR4, hot swap, south facing RGB LEDs, pretty much everything you want. I'm not crazy

77
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,440
about flex cut because I like a really super consistent typing style, even if it's a little

78
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,200
firmer. Even actually, the gaskets don't feel... This is kind of firm out of the box. I actually

79
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,160
kind of like this. As for branding and stuff, you don't really get a lot. It's just a little

80
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,880
wombier symbol here in the bottom right, nicely embossed into the rest of the aluminum. Yeah,

81
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,480
there's no screws anywhere. So it's probably one of those ones where you have to take all the keycaps

82
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,960
off here. Let me just investigate. Do a little bit of investigation here. Yep, so we've got one

83
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:48,320
screw here. It's kind of... Okay, you know, people are divisive about this too, but I prefer when it's

84
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,880
all just the same little tiny Phillips head. I know that Allen keys are really good, but if you

85
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,240
don't have a tiny Allen key set, then it might be hard for you to take this thing apart. That's

86
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,360
one thing I noticed they did not include with everything. So if you do want to fully disassemble

87
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,560
it, do whatever you want to it, you're not going to be able to do that without picking up an Allen

88
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,400
key. But yeah, it's pretty simple. There's probably just like one here, one here, a couple here,

89
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,240
just around the board, probably like six or eight screws that you have to take off to then take the

90
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,920
whole thing apart, take all the keys off, take the switches off, all that. So we're not going to do

91
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,320
that though, because I think it types pretty good out of the box. I'm just going to connect it to a

92
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:29,200
computer and try to type on it. One thing I do appreciate is that the white really does match

93
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,960
the keycaps. I would love it if it was blue, but here we are. Another really nice thing to note is

94
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,880
that this does not have any proprietary software. It's all via controlled. So if you do want to

95
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,080
do any sort of customization, ooh, that RGB is really good. And I don't know if it's just the

96
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:51,120
strength of the LEDs that they've got on the PCB, or if it's just how clear the cases are on the

97
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,840
switches. But man, that is a bright keyboard. I don't know how much it's showing up on camera,

98
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,320
but it's really good in person. Here it is with the lights off. Looks pretty good. You're definitely

99
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,480
not going to miss anything in the dark. One thing about the RGB and the keycaps is that they're not

100
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,280
shine through. They're double shot PBT like I mentioned before. So if you want to like actually

101
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,240
see the light shine through the keycaps to form the letters, you're not going to get that here.

102
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,360
You're going to have to buy some extra keycaps, but you know, shine through keycaps aren't that

103
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:31,040
expensive. All right, let's type on it in a way we go. I did 110, 97%. I'm not super happy with it.

104
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,720
It feels really good to type on. It doesn't feel good to speed type on just because like how deep

105
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,280
everything goes. I've been typing on like short throw, uh, chicklet keyboards a lot recently on

106
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,920
my laptop, and I've gotten used to just like really kind of feather touching everything and

107
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,520
you know, barely having to press to type fast, but that's excuses. The reality is it sounded good.

108
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,320
It felt pretty good. I'm kind of into linears again. So I don't know. Do I take this thing back

109
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,080
to my desk? Honestly, maybe I mentioned that it's wireless earlier. The battery in here is 4,000

110
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,120
milliamp hours, which is not bad. The only thing I worry about personally is how long it actually

111
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,080
lasts with this RGB blasting at you. Cause like I said before, it's actually really bright and that's

112
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,640
typically what's going to kill your battery life on your keyboard more than anything else.

113
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,960
So maybe just be a little cognizant of that. Um, but otherwise, I think this thing is honestly

114
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:27,440
a really solid buy for like $110. There's a lot of keyboards around this price and so you do have

115
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,320
options these days, which is fantastic. Um, like I said at the start of this video, just a couple

116
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,520
of years back, that really wasn't the case. If you wanted to get something that's full aluminum,

117
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:43,680
RGB, wireless with a decent battery, hot swap, especially something fully built with switches

118
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:50,080
and keycaps, you were looking at at least $130, $150 minimum, if not in the, more in the $200

119
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,600
range. So it's actually really good to see something like this. That's the SK75 from

120
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,240
Womere. Thanks again for sponsoring this video. What do you guys think? What's your new favorite

121
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,040
ultimate tier budget board and not something that's, you know, a little cheap or plastic? I'm

122
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:12,080
talking full aluminum, full keyboard, RGB, hot swap, wireless. What do you got? Let me know in the

123
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,480
comments. Thanks for watching. Make sure you like and subscribe if you liked the video and see you later.

124
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:27,520
Editor, please stop me waving. You can just stop the video at any time. That's a really long one.
