Joanne's Top 5 Favorite Gaming Keyboards!

2015-02-07
hi everyone i'm joanne from joanne tackle over here for Elric with tech tomorrow and he looks much better now and i'm really glad to see that he's up and walking and smiling and just full of energy and also i show a little and kill cute huh anyway I'm back today for an episode on my top five favorite keyboards so let's get started the first keyboard on my mind is the k70 RGB and I know it was like super super like highly anticipated last year and it doesn't disappoint so I really really love the RGB lighting of course I mean that was I believe at the time the only keyboard of its kind to do that and the soft floor does need a bit of tweaking as in the group lighting effect is still you know not as user-friendly but I have to say that being able to program the rainbow any kind of rainbow effect that you want and the speed as well as the type of effect like wave ripple I mean that's just really sick I mean it's probably the only keyboard of his kind that is that complicated in its lighting effects and unlike the original k 7d the RGB does come with a fully programmable board which is always cool especially if you play a lot of games and you just have to set a lot of macros things like that it's also very complex but I'd say complex in a good way now what I do wish it had were pbt keycaps I know they used to be very popular but I think they should start bringing them back however I did replace my current set with a whole set of white vortex ppt caps and LEDs look amazing with it next up on the list is another RGB keyboard the Razer BlackWidow chroma and I have to say the how bright you know the lighting is how intense it is it was very impressive and I don't know how they were able to do it but it's just one bulb on top of the housing whereas the case 70 the bulb is there bulbs are under this clear housing and also really like how simple the software is it's very user friendly but you know on the other hand it's a bit too simple in some ways as in there weren't enough lighting effects you couldn't add you know certain lighting effects to a certain group however I believe they've changed up and I don't have it on me today I'm sorry but you could definitely check it out on my channel the full review anyway but yeah that's the Razer BlackWidow chroma and let's move away from RGB lighting tutto praise that was also a big deal in the last year even though topiaries aren't exactly new but I think Coolermaster made them a bit more mainstream last year anyway so I'm gonna talk about the Coolermaster nova touch what i like about it is that it's got this stealth look to it not too many logos and the top reefs which is more of a silent variant if you compare it next to them around for example they should be more quiet and also with this top price which you get a faster debounce time that means quick responses so for gaming it's really good and for a Tofurky board they do include I believe media keys and the windows lock and that wasn't heard of anyway until I saw that and as for cons I think that of course there's no LED backlighting however once again bringing back the vortex pvt keycaps it is possible to have clear legends so hopefully they'll introduce them and one last thing is that no programmability so no macros or anything like that but you know maybe some of you don't need it for gaming so next up like Kula roster this one came before it this is the real force 87 you it's a white tank ILA's top or a keyboard and oh my goodness it feels like butter it's like your fingers are gliding on but it's a quite amazing and I would say it's even more silent than the Nova touch which for some of you might be a perk and also it's compact but I know some of you you know need a numpad kind of like me I crunch numbers anyway and they do have a dedicated numpad in a very interesting location like congi like middle set of keys I believe and they're on the lower key cap their only key kept put on the bottom edge and it works I mean you know and I just thought that was a really unique and that stood out to me also I love that it's PBT keycaps I mean that's quality right there quality and as for the clones like the Nova touch the real force 87 you that one also doesn't have LED backlighting I mean maybe for the caps lock but like overall or you know any macro programmability function but tape like I said not for everybody and last not least does the ducky shine floor also really really exciting keyboard from last year I believe it released November 2014 but do not quote me on that and with ducky it is all about the lighting whereas even the sound all of that the thing is about the bass anyway so it's all about the light and what's cool about it is you don't need software to run it although it's a little bit complicated in that you have to kind of remember memorize that function and what keys go with what in order to get the lighting effect that you want with the lighting profile that you want and well let's just say once you play with it a bit it becomes a lot easier and also I really really love some of the effects that ducky has it's different from what I've seen on other keyboards for example a lot of keyboards have ripple or wave but ducky has something called what does I call the ringing effect it's like pitter-pattering on your keyboard and it looks like it's raining but different colors so that is really cool but unfortunately it's not RGB because they only gave you two colors red and blue but I'm hoping or thinking that by next year are by the end of this year they will bring out the RGB version meaning they're just gonna introduce you know a green you know LED switch so that you can adjust the red and the blue and the Greens to the intensity level that you want to achieve the color that you want however it's probably not gonna be true RGB you know 16.8 million colors or anything like that but total thing is gonna be pretty fun I mean with the naked eye help you know most people can't tell anyway but yeah and also as for the lighting effects I think it might be less complicated if they did have some software but there aren't too many cause of Ducky's I think they are also really solid keyboard in terms of quality as in dual air PCB solid steel things like that one kind of annoying con for the ducky shine for if you're a gamer and use the windows lock key a lot is that you'll have to flip a dip switch on the bottom of the keyboard in order to lock windows no one wants that I mean it would be nice if it was just on the keyboard even if it was just a function key but yeah that's that's what I have to say about to be a shy boy well I guess that wraps up my personal look at the top five favorite keyboards of I guess you could say 2014 and hey buddy I think you've shed like 10 pounds of fur on me that's a great way to go isn't it all righty I hope you enjoyed this video and if you want to see more about these keyboards go ahead and check
