I Bought 10 Weird Keyboards from AliExpress

If they made the pocket keybpard transparent with the same sound as a gamer keyboard, and RGB, Id buy. I am interested in smaller portable, tech.

cool

I literally got chills when I heard "segne"

the half keyboard is good for gaming,, i for one use wide hand motion for shooter games or screen scale movement for RTS, the keyboard is only either for macro or movement

So, that Typewriter Macropad appears to be just for that: macros. I could easily see that being used by a podcaster or twitch streamer to activate commonly used programs, files, etc., on the fly without having to look for them and activate them manually. I don't know why it's advertised for "gamers," since that seems to be of limited value to gamers, but it could certainly be a useful product, presuming that it functions as one would expect. The hot-swappability is nice, too, since you could put silent switches in there if you're recording live and want to be quiet about activating whatever it is you're activating.

The laser keyboard is so different that you'd need at least a full week to properly learn how to type with it.

The silicone covers (I call them "keyboard condoms") are something that has come up as a standard around 2020-2021 public and/or shared PC in work spaces.
Basically, it allows you to use a keyboard, then clean it up, after usage, with regular cleaning soft supplies without damaging (with a bit of care) the actual keyboard.
Due to the nature of each keyboard having different keys emplacement, the keyboard manufacturers are shipping their keyboard with the pre-designed cover for each particular models they are selling. In early 2021, Walmart, for example, has replaced added those silicone covers on all of their employees keyboards that were used by 2 or more employees in a day and implemented a directive that you had to clean it up after each use before someone uses it afterward.

You made me try that monkeytype site. Between 118 and 136 wpm in 4 tries... nice.

granted the one you tested was really shitty, but silicone waterproof keyboards actually have been widely adopted in the healthcare sector because you can just pour desinfectant over them and they dont give a damn

Please, respect the hardware and the companies behind it by not throwing it from the desk.

I used some of them more than 15 years ago. Rubber keyboard is really good at workshop with lot of metal or/and sawdust. Back on days we didn't have every CNC etc stuff networked. Laser keyboard was just for fun.

Activate Windows :)

Linus has let us all down and even the feedback from his own employees speaks loudly about the crunch work environment he has instilled all of these years. When people are making videos are aren't proud of or even invested in because they have to get right to the next several videos then there's going be problems. Also, take ownership of any issues and make a plan to improve. No excuse, reasons or backhanded apologies.

That game pad would server well for Character designers/3D sculptors on Blneder/Zbrush.

Wow, that towel is more expensive than that keyboard....

Linus must try 500-1000$ keyboards

Try out a Fake HHKB Pro 2

A little surprised no one in either video or the comments mentioned the use-case for the macropad (made specifically for rhythm games like Osu! or even just art program shortcuts) where you do not need more than 2-6 inputs. He didnt knock it, but by the end, Linus still seemed confused as to what the controller would actually be used for.

That one would be great for native trainer on gta five

Also I've never met a trackpad I didn't disable immediately. Do people actually use those?

Imma just stick with my logitech K360 for my pc and the k480 for everything else....

20 years ago, I used a Palm III with an accordion-folding keyboard not much bigger than the Palm III itself when folded. It was a workhorse on long flights around the country.

Lol I have two of these (Laser and the half keyboard).

I had an unexpected ton of fun watching this. Thanks, guys ❤️

I'm waiting for a bt typewriter that instead of printing letters on paper presses mechanical buttons where the sheet would be

my teacher had one of these.

The fooldable one should have a half number pad on each side, Yes it would be weird at first but you would be centered then and it would feel much nicer on the hands. You'd also then be able to use your pinkies for numbers at that point.

I actually have one of those cheap touchscreen keyboards 😂I got it for controlling videos from my bed but I literally never use it. I just found the adapter for it while vacuuming the floor which says it all hahah. To be honest I don't tend to consume media from my bed anyway. It's one of those things that you sort of think will be nice like playing the Xbox while laying on bed but realistically I never end up doing that. I just sit at my desk

I don't usually get concerned about stuff like this but for some reason the idea of a 100 watt passthrough going through a keyboard from a dubious source at best with an aluminium construction seems a bit dodgy to me. I understand that a lot of laptops are also aluminium and handle a lot of power but atleast you know they're following safety guidelines because people don't tend to buy aliexpress laptops for obvious security reasons so any aluminium laptops are going to be from a reliable manufacture that follows all the latest guidelines and has inspectors visit etc.

Aliexpress is 4.8 stars or more. People give 5 starts for just receiving the product

I picked up a Bluetooth keyboard that's basically the same layout without the folding and track pad. Works great, got for like four bucks in a resale store. It's definitely cool having cross device compatibility!

Cyberdeck builders unite!

Okay I need to bring someone's attention to this app I found that connects to your PC with Bluetooth and let's your phone act as a Bluetooth touchpad or keyboard

I can fit an entire paspberry laptop in this DOQO keyboard though

For the Laser keyb I recommend chyrosran22-s review, hillarious as always :D

did he just admit that his towel is expensive

Lol we had these waterproof keyboards in the mid to late 2000s. They were pretty cool together with the waterproof mouse when you were in a pool and watched pirated films on kino and similar sites. A towel beside the laptop would have done it too though lol.

What keyboard was he talking about that has the gyro mouse?

That last keyboard had some nice clickity-clacks. My clickity-clacks would be MUCH slower, but I'd still enjoy hearing them. I'd have to go with a color other than baby food pea green.

That last one looks pretty decent, I have considered bringing one of my spare keyboards to work to do a typing test while at work vs at home because there's a theory around the office that I type much faster than on the typing tests when i'm not doing the typing test xD

Bro it’s nose candy not finger candy what’s you’re address I will send some and some instructions- side note to fbi I’m joking

Hacked a simple Android successful y

bro dabbed

I had one of those horrible rubber keyboards in college... It worked is the only thing i can say for it. Not well. Just worked.
