as have been asking me to check out some cheap keyboards on either Aliexpress or eBay saying that they were really good Bay for money so recently I decided to buy three of these keyboards and put them to the test and see if they're worth your money welcome back to tech yes City this is Brian the yes man coming to you guys today with a video on cheap mechanical keyboard off eBay now the first contender we have up here is the e blue k7 5/3 I picked this off the 25 US dollars shipped to my door so incredibly cheap and it features blue switches which is from a brand called jwh very weird brand never heard of the switches before and then the next contender we have up here is the s100 this features brown switches and the switch of the design from a company called a long wire again never heard of this brand before and it features unique key caps because I wanted to try something a little bit different for my money and then the last contender we have up here is the zero this features switches from a company called C a so all these switches in these keyboards today never heard of them before though the first keyboard we're going to talk a little bit more in-depth about is the e blue k7 5/3 which comes in at $25 and from what I've seen the prices can fluctuate between 25 to 35 dollars and now this is a full 104 key keyboard with the numpad on the end and why I'm going to be recommending this keyboard is that it is so consistent I was shocked at not only how consistently actuation was on the kids themselves but also how thick the ABS key caps were for a $25.00 keyboard the blue switches are from a company called jwh whom i've never heard of before but they did the job and did so very well never missing a stroke and only actuated after the double feedback on the blue switch was realized the backlighting was a rainbow like effect and had a different color of LEDs through each rose which went coupled with the translucent key caps allowed seeing letters and numbers at night very easy the keyboard also had four different levels of brightness and had different hardware controlled mode lighting effects and the anti-ghosting if that proved to be okay when I did my full yes-man BAM test when pulling off the key caps the keys themselves had support on both left and right sides of the switches which I believed help with the rigidity of the key to overall very impressive this keyboard and easily one of the best blue switch keyboards I have typed on so not only is it a bargain but it is a quality product in itself it even came with a braided cable and key cap puller on the rear of the keyboard though the only drawback to the e blue itself was the switch is being used and that's the blue switches which will be very loud so if you need a quiet switch then you might want to avoid this keyboard the next keyboard we have up here is the brown switched s100 which is a 10 keyless design and cost 36 dollars delivered to my door also opted to try out the new key caps which were a little bit funky but honestly we're probably not for everyday typing the brown switches which have one level of feedback but from a company called wah wah again never heard of it but in practice this worked quite well and when typing I noticed that the keys were pretty consistent not as good as the Blues that's still pretty solid there were some times actuated and missing the click after actuated but when they were pressed more than 2/3 of the way down they never missed a beat also the anti a ghosting effects work is intended to and after the infamous yes-men spam test it again never missed a stroke the s100 also comes with white LED backlighting which has three different levels of brightness and also has different lighting effects though not too shabby in practice and certainly not for the money though I found the s100 implementation of the brown switches were not as good as the original Cherry MX browns so with this keyboard really what you're getting is a mediocre keyboard at a budget price and now the last keyboard we have up here is by far the worst this is the zero which came in at 35 USD posted to my door it is a 10 keyless design with red switches from a company called CA never heard of the company and honestly after this never wish I did as this was the loosest red switch I have ever typed on in my life typos were plenty abound and to top that off the key caps with the cheapest and thinnest abs caps I have ever seen in my life which just made the keys feel like you were typing on cloud nine - the nine so cloud zero the backlighting was a rainbow like effect with translucent key caps that had three different levels of brightness and had different Hardware controlled effects and modes actuation was a little inconsistent and the keys had the most flex out of any keyboard I have around my house the last Kinder Surprise again - the kinder was the fact the zero couldn't survive the yes man spam test missing keys regularly during the test so for $35 in my opinion the zero is not even worth that so in conclusion to sum up these three keyboards the zero well that lived up to its name scoring a well deserved zero yes 100 that was pretty mediocre and in my opinion would be more suited to someone looking for more of a fashion accessory that's decent for typing or for traveling as all the keyboards here today were pretty lightweight coming in around 600 to 750 grams in total with the e blue being the heaviest at around about 750 grams though the star of the show was that a blue K 75 3 which really punched above its weight it's a full 104 mechanical key keyboard and has a really nice feel to it and the switches and key caps were really consistent this is the only keyboard of the group that I can properly recommend and also if you are looking for a cheap wrist rest and aliexpress does have these $4 wrist rests that work really well in practice so if you're looking for a budget keyboard to type on 24/7 and also game on then the K 75 3 plus the wrist rest definitely gets the victory out of today's video anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bye just now do something do something whatever do whatever so dad man do you want to try three keyboards today and then tell everyone which one do you think is the best yes I would like to do that okay keyboard number one just press a few buttons okay yep keyboard number two for number two right okay so which one did you like the best I like keyboard number three simply because you don't have to be a weightlifter to lift it and you've got the springboard effect fantastic
