Just a couple of years ago, a keyboard like this would have cost you over $200.
Womere sponsored this video so I can show you the SK75, a beautiful mechanical keyboard that costs
a whole lot less than that. About $110 in fact. You like that? Yeah. It's a 75% mechanical keyboard,
hot swap PCB. What else have we got in this box? We got a Womere box with probably a cable. It is
wireless. It's got a 4,000 mAh battery and three different modes like all the good ones do.
But I am a cabled man myself. I don't like the cable very 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 ferrite bead here and it's
pretty long. I'll give them that. Oh yeah. Six foot cable? I'm not six foot. Typical USB A to C.
What else we got? We've got a bunch of bags here. We've got three extra switches.
I think these are their mint blizzard switches. Should be a nice palm linear.
Oh, that's nice. We got three of these. We got three extra keycaps. The only problem that I have
right now is these don't fit the color scheme at all. So I'm not going to use them. Just green,
red, yellow, command, command, opt. So if you want to use Mac, go ahead and swap these out so you
don't get confused when you're trying to find the right keys later. We've also got a nice keycap
and switch puller. This is always my favorite one for people to include because just these
little wires here are so good for getting keycaps off. Really easy. And then this is just a great
little switch puller. I don't know. I personally just really strongly prefer this type. So thank
you very much for including it. And then we've got, ooh, okay. Three other keycaps. These ones
actually do match the rest of our keyboard. It's a nice kind of like soft baby blue. Love to see it.
Looks like they're double shot PBT as well. Look at that. It matches our new Mac Address
Oxford shirt perfectly. This is a nice pastel blue with this keyboard. Oh my God. Okay. I'm more
serious. No, let's look at the keyboard itself. The only thing left in the box. It's heavy and
not just because it's an all aluminum chassis, but also because it's got a nice little cool
weight on the bottom. Does it do anything? No. Will you see it most of the time? No,
but damn it. Does it look cool when you look at the bottom of the board?
One really cool feature about the SK75 is that not only can you get this back weight
in a number of styles, but you can also get these cool accent frames in different styles.
So check this out. They actually sent us one. You could swap it out to something white with this
like granity rock kind of texture. I'm not sure what that one's called, but it's shiny and looks
pretty. Imagine the possibilities. They're endless. Well, they're not endless, but they have a lot of
different combinations that you can check out and choose from because this keyboard comes in a variety
of colors as well. So you can really kind of choose whatever you want that suits your own style or
your desk setup or whatever you're looking for. While we're looking at the back, we can see that
it's got four little rubber feet here. Works well enough. I like the little nubbin feet,
but if you want to keep it nice and flush with 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 don't actually see any kind of
switch anywhere to turn it on and off or toggle between the different wireless modes. And that's
because it's just got this USB-C plug at the top here. If you want to turn it on, you got to take
off the caps lock key and then here it is. You got this nice little toggle switch. Turn it on.
This is an aesthetic choice and I personally really like it because I'm the kind of person who doesn't
ever use the different wireless modes that are available. I tend to stay wired and if I am using
one, it's typically just 2.4 gigahertz because there's less latency involved. So if you're the
kind of person who's like actively switching all the time because you've got it hooked up to
different devices or you're traveling a lot with it, I don't think you should travel with this
thing because it's pretty heavy, but you do you. It could be kind of annoying. Is it hard to take
a single keycap off and then flick this switch? No, it's really not. You know, that takes all of
a couple seconds, but it's not always, especially with these really nice edges. It's actually really
hard to take this off with your fingers. So you've got to keep the keycap puller handy and I don't
think everyone's going to do that. You do you. It's your choice. I personally really like it and I
think it looks great. I think it's a fantastic way to hide certain things that kind of look a little
less desirable, but definitely something to think about and consider when you're making this purchase.
One thing that I didn't catch because it was jammed all the way in the back of the box there
is it does in fact come with a dongle. So don't worry if you do want to use 2.4 gigahertz,
you're set. Otherwise, for Bluetooth connectivity, it should work just fine. You just, you know,
turn it on, hit function tab. That's probably Bluetooth blinking blue. Such a sucker for heavy
keywords. I am a sucker all right. Oh, 1.8 kilos, baby. 4.1 pounds. Incredible. 65.8 ounces. Love
weighing everything in ounces. It's a little hard to see the internals without taking it apart,
but you can see here we've got this nice clear white plastic. It's a flex cut polypropylene plate
and this whole thing's gasket mounted with a ton of foam layers in between everything. And I've
got to say it sounds pretty good. I'd like it to be a little bit more marbly and creamy and deep,
but you could probably achieve that by modding it just a little bit. Honestly, for
a like zero rattle in the stabilizers, one of the nice things that I really like about 75%
boards that you don't really get with a 65% board is the FRO. I know that you can just hit function
five and it's the same as F5. I know that you can hit function alt four and it's the same as hitting
alt F4, but there's just something a bit more satisfying, but only using two fingers rather
than three and not needing this whole extra hand in there. I mean, I guess you can really like,
I can still technically hit alt F4 with one hand, but it's a little uncomfortable. So yeah,
personally, I prefer a 75% over 65%. The typing angle seems totally fine. Once again,
I'm going to complain a little bit that we don't have adjustable feet, but I get it, especially
when it comes to full aluminum chassis. It's not something people seem to really care about except
for me. So I'll just go home and cry at the end of the day when I don't get them. But otherwise,
this thing is pretty solid for being 110 bucks. The switches feel good. They're just
linear. The typing experience really is just solid right out of the box. I would like to
put a bit of spacebar foam in here just to make it a bit deeper to match the rest of the keys a
little bit, but it's not too far off. So it's not too bad. It's got a pretty nice PCB in here,
flex cut, FR4, hot swap, south facing RGB LEDs, pretty much everything you want. I'm not crazy
about flex cut because I like a really super consistent typing style, even if it's a little
firmer. Even actually, the gaskets don't feel... This is kind of firm out of the box. I actually
kind of like this. As for branding and stuff, you don't really get a lot. It's just a little
wombier symbol here in the bottom right, nicely embossed into the rest of the aluminum. Yeah,
there's no screws anywhere. So it's probably one of those ones where you have to take all the keycaps
off here. Let me just investigate. Do a little bit of investigation here. Yep, so we've got one
screw here. It's kind of... Okay, you know, people are divisive about this too, but I prefer when it's
all just the same little tiny Phillips head. I know that Allen keys are really good, 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 noticed they did not include with everything. So if you do want to fully 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 yeah, it's pretty simple. There's probably just like one here, one here, a couple here,
just around the board, probably like six or eight screws that you have to take off to then take the
whole thing apart, take all the keys off, take the switches off, all that. So we're not going to do
that though, because I think it types pretty good out of the box. I'm just going to connect it to a
computer and try to type on it. One thing I do appreciate is that the white really does match
the keycaps. I would love it if it was blue, but here we are. Another really nice thing to note is
that this does not have any proprietary software. It's all via controlled. So if you do want to
do any sort of customization, ooh, that RGB is really good. And I don't know if it's just the
strength of the LEDs that they've got on the PCB, or if it's just how clear the cases are on the
switches. But man, 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 is with the lights off. Looks pretty good. You're definitely
not going to miss anything in the dark. One thing about the RGB and the keycaps is that they're not
shine through. They're double shot PBT like I mentioned before. So if you want to like actually
see the light shine through the keycaps to form the letters, you're not going to get that here.
You're going to have to buy some extra keycaps, but you know, shine through keycaps aren't that
expensive. All right, let's type on it in a way we go. I did 110, 97%. I'm not super happy with it.
It feels really good to type on. It doesn't feel good to speed type on just because like how deep
everything goes. I've been typing on like short throw, uh, chicklet keyboards a lot recently on
my laptop, and I've gotten used to just like really kind of feather touching everything and
you know, barely having to press to type fast, but that's excuses. The reality is it sounded good.
It felt pretty good. I'm kind of into linears again. So I don't know. Do I take this thing back
to my desk? Honestly, maybe I mentioned that it's wireless earlier. The battery in here is 4,000
milliamp hours, which is not bad. The only thing I worry about personally is how long it actually
lasts with this RGB blasting at you. Cause like I said before, it's actually really bright and that's
typically what's going to kill your battery life on your keyboard more than anything else.
So maybe just be a little cognizant of that. Um, but otherwise, I think this thing is honestly
a really solid buy for like $110. There's a lot of keyboards around this price and so you do have
options these days, which is fantastic. Um, like I said at the start of this video, just a couple
of years back, that really wasn't the case. If you wanted to get something that's full aluminum,
RGB, wireless with a decent battery, hot swap, especially something fully built with switches
and keycaps, you were looking at at least $130, $150 minimum, if not in the, more in the $200
range. So it's actually really good to see something like this. That's the SK75 from
Womere. Thanks again for sponsoring this video. What do you guys think? What's your new favorite
ultimate tier budget board and not something that's, you know, a little cheap or plastic? I'm
talking full aluminum, full keyboard, RGB, hot swap, wireless. What do you got? Let me know in the
comments. Thanks for watching. Make sure you like and subscribe if you liked the video and see you later.
Editor, please stop me waving. You can just stop the video at any time. That's a really long one.
