You guys should definitely keep it going and up the price more. I am a (very small baby level) keyboard enthusiast so it's fun to watch these and see the cheaper options! It's also nice to not hear "thock" every 5 seconds
Man u guys are killing it with the new video releases. Keep em coming!
Prime day saves me so much for my keyboard I got the rk61 for 45$ with a coiled cable
Isn't it 50?
I'm currently using the Reddragon Ryze (K633) and I like it a lot. It's 68% size, it has arrow keys, switch and keypads are good and it has an extra set of keycaps to customize it a little. I also like its black color and it doesn't have a frame, so it has that suspended keys look.
such an good video. thumbs up👍
I have an E Yooso Z88. I paid $24 for it and I dig it. Full rgb and hot swappable. I think it's strange there aren't more videos on it. I really enjoy money and would suggest it to anyone trying to save a few bucks
The Red dragon sounded the best surprisingly to me. It had a less high pitched sound and the stabilizers were much better than the other options. Great lineup! Please continue this series!
Redragon is offbrand
@@liamlevanwhat do you mean? I have owned a redragon keyboard and mouse and it is amazing
I have two wireless red dragon keyboards, I love them both, first mechanic keyboards tho, so I have nothing to compare it to
Using the Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, find for cost they're a good value, have gone through two Hyper X keyboards (@$80 bucks ea. on sale), that after sort usage the layering for the keys used in gaming wore completely off, followed with malfunctioning keys, stripping one to keep the other functional, but that didn't last longer, while the Red Dragon keyboards at half the cost, which I owned before the Hyper X and used are still going strong, proves cost of gear isn't everything!
My primary keyboard is an Asus Azoth (one of the best keyboards ever) but I picked up a RedDragon K530 Pro (60%) with browns and dang is it nice! I bought it to travel with and practicing mod on but I'm not sure I'll mod this. I may oil the switches but the stabilizers are great and the switches are nice and tactile but pretty quite, definitely more quite than the HyperX TKL (great keyboard just not quite). The RedDragon is currently on sale for $10 off so less then $50 as well and it's bluetooth, cable or 2.4Ghz. This was a great round up, going to pickup the IROK to test out soon!
I bought a Black Shark RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for 39.99 on Amazon and I love it.
I had a similar experience through Amazon Renew! I bought a Logitech G910 (I still want one) through them, and half the keyboard was sticky! My GF tried to clean it up but it was a no go, and I ended up sending it back. I'd still love to get that keyboard though.
Reddragon K556 for me! I like it so much I bought a second one on sale for $35 US...
I was planning on buying the surmen but now i seen the vid imma instantly buy 1
Still hoping you guys pick a Tezarre board. The TK61 has been harder to find recently, but it was a great deal for a hot swap board that uses Gateron Optical switches that was often on sale for like $20..others from them are still only around the $40 range quite often.
I had a tezarre board that broke within 3 months. Every once in a while the keys would just press themselves and my control key would often get stuck. I think there were some major issues with the PCB in the board, as none of the switches were sticking themselves down when the key caps were off. One day out of the blue it just died.
@@FinanaFan_69 I've had mine for a few months now, and even with my cat sometimes knocking it off my table, I've had no issues with it. Things can be hit or miss though with almost any brand and it does sound like you got a bad PCB in yours.
@@mr.guillotine3766 well I've had a red dragon 60% for a long while now and I've loved it, haven't had any issues with it at all. Its good to hear that you're not having any issues with yours. It's just the risk you run when buying cheaper keyboards i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@FinanaFan_69 Yeah, and Red Dragon has really come a long way over the last few years. They had quality control issues early on but improved a lot. I'm not sure how long ago you had a Tezarre board, but I've seen that they made improvements on the model I have just in the last like year (used to have no foam, unlubed switches, etc, now there's some case foam, plate foam, factory lubed Gateron switches, etc, but without a huge price inrease). I almost got a Red Dragon, but I wanted the optical switches (I also wanted a black switch because I'm heavier typer so I wanted that stiffer/heavir spring) and was having a hard time finding a heavy switch in other cheaper boards. I think I paid $30 for TK61. Overall, cheap boards can have quality control issues, but it does seem like a lot of companies are at least trying to improve them. If I were more in the $100 budget range, I would strongly consider the new boards from Montech. They make pretty solid budget products (mainly PC cases) and they do seem to be focused on putting out good products people don't have to pay a fortune for...but I'm poor, so I'm probably just gonna spend like $30 and mod my Tezarre instead lol
I'm feeling the Redragon. I love 95% and 75% boards as they're much rarer & you get Full Size & TKL functionality in a smaller size The "Purpleberry" is too weird for my tastes, K65's broken, and my life is incomplete without arrow keys, so it's the Redragon and the white, TKL option for me ✌️
"my life is complete without arrow keys" tell someone to put it on your gravestone.
im looking at the listing for the corsair and it says it's refurbished so im not surprised it looks like it had something spilled on it
the royal kludge rk61 not being on here is crazy
Mine just broke I've had it for about a month and it doesn't connect to my computer
I bought a $35 red dragon (s-101) I think, I expected to pay like $200 on a keyboard/ mouse, maybe this would last till I decide what I am going to get, well that was Feb of this year after I built my 1st pc, I play about 15 hours a week, it works fine, I love it, maybe in the future , I will up grade, but for now, this is way fine.
Red dragon has really come up. Ingot my coworjmker a 70 dollar rgb mechanical keyboard with 2.4 and wirless. It sounds a feela amazing
i'm not really a keyboard snob, but i have several that i have built... first of all, thanks for making these videos, they're great, i send them to my friends that want to get into keyboard, but don't want to spend 300 bucks on one like i do... anyways, some of these keyboards you unboxed have really nice things, and you guys kinda glance over them... like the first keyboard with the white switches, they are outemu i think and are prelubed... there's a pretty big difference between a scratchy loud raw switch, and a lubed switch... they're butter smooth, and sometimes sound way better... that keyboard also has a foam to deaden the sound, and is pretty thocky by the sound of it... just with those lubed switches should've been in first place... even though it's very ugly... HAHA... but like i said, keep these videos coming... they're great...
I am a little surprised y'all dont know about keycap profiles. You know, curved vs flat and cap height. Its a pretty big deal in buying mechanical keyboards. Nearly all sellers will tell which profile they are providing: SA, OEM, Cherry, XDA, etc. OEM is the most popular, but also has a large curved profile that harkens back to vintage keyboards, before Apple chiklets and mass market flat keys (which are cheaper). I just did this research and picked up a $25 brown switch, OEM profile, non-swappable switch keyboard and figuring out the keycap profile was important to me. I now want to try some different keycaps, maybe even going for the really old school, high height caps called SA. Anyways, i think y'all should talk about keycap profile in your next keyboard review. Which could be budget mechanical (non swappable switches). Mins cost $25 off Amazon and its a huge pleasure to type with - and some are even cheaper!
i got the razer blackwidow chroma call of duty keyboard (worth 200$) for only 27$ and got a free glorious model d wireless with it! (both used)
Royal Kludge is still my favorite budget keyboard
Thank you!!! You said usb 2 instead of usb a! I’m so sick of KZheadrs calling it usb a!!!
Womier clearly wins the sound and smell test.
Can you use the surmen with the wire rather than Bluetooth
3:49 nice b roll
i dont mind red dragon stuff ive had a pair of their headphones for almost 2years a mouse i wanna say its an m901 impact or something like that has the numbers on the side of the mouse and a snupurdi kb
I wanna see yall cover the TNSpectre..
Gateron Yellows are my favorite.
I am looking for headphones and not just gaming ones for gaming I would like studio one under 50
i use the corsair k65 i like the keyboard. it does the job that i need it to and the icue software is pretty good idk if you guys r gonna test it a lot at all but over time this keyboard literally just doesnt like type. the keyboard will just like not work at all. it happened to me in a game of apex and i was absolutely pissed! im about to take this back to best buy where i bought it and switch to a different keyboard. idk if im the only one that has this issue. ive exchanged it 4 times already for a new one and the same thing happens. i tried to see if it was my pc and tested it on another one and it did the same thing.
keyboard 1: smells like soda keyboard 2: w h i t e keyboard 3: built in sticky keys
can you please review the irok fe75pro? i just got it and wanted you guys to review it on a video!❤
I have the same keyboard. It's good for modding. I recently did mine with all new switches, keycaps, and the tape mod. It sounds so much better than it did stock.
@@DeadGambit i really wanna do those mods but idk how to disassemble the keyboard😭
It's not as hard as it seems, but it will require a little bit of force. What I did was remove the space bar and pull the top shell toward me over the edge of the base until I had an opening. Then I just stuck a pick under the space and moved it around the until the shell was completely detached. After that i bekieve there are 3 screws in total that need to he removed. The far left and right side of the board have 1 screw each (I forgot witch keys they're under) but the middle screw can be found under the Y, U, and H key. To completely remove the pcb, you'll have to remove the cable that connects it to the battery. I used some tweezers to remove it since it's pretty small. After that you're all set.
@@DeadGambit heyy just seen your video modding it! i will for sure try to follow that video and do a tape mod
@@dacreatorrbrxinley Cool I hope everything goes well!
Picking up a K65 today for $20
guys i want you guys to take a look at the langtu LT84 tri mode with the gif screen
Pity some of these keyboards turn out to be much more expensive in other countries. The Womier W-K68 for example is priced at £90 in the U.K on Amazon.
Yeah same i was surprised. Uk problems 😭
The Redragons are pretty cheap on AliX, just need to wait a bit longer. I got a Fizz for 30 quid
same for the surmen at £94
This guy has stolen my search history 2 times by this point
i use the rk 71 which my friend bought for me from malaysia for 44 dollars....this keyboard feels like the g502 of keyboards honestly....i find much more expensive ones in tech shops and none of them feel as good
irok is on sell for 29$ for the next 2 hrs thats a stea
You said that the red dragon keyboard dose not have a name and their naming of the keyboards are bad. but all their keyboards have names mine is the redragon k530 60% keyboard when buying off of Amazon may not be a real branded keyboard
Stick it in the dishwasher and then out in the sun for a bit and let it dry good. I've done it before. Cleans it good
🤨
Doesn't the dishwasher melt the hell out of it?😢
@@harveybirdman2674 top rack and don't use heated dry
You need to start adding switch compatibility in these reviews. The Red Dragon only supports 3 pin switches, so most (and all best) switches won't work without modding. The keyboard should be second to last by default (above the corsair amazon mistake) since the other 3 support all switch types. It should also be worth mentioning that the switches in the Womier are pre-lubed, the Irok has a detachable faceplate to have a normal or 'exposed' type of key layout, and the Surmen has bluetooth capability. Those are all great unique features when trying to decide which board to go with.
Agreed. I'd like to see them maybe collab with a keyboard focused creator to give some more insight, maybe show how to do some of the easier mods so people can get the best feel/sound out of their cheap boards (some of us can't afford to buy one that's more than like $35-$50, but so many are hot swap now, easy to mod, etc that you can still end up with a really good board without breaking the bank!). Knowing what is compatible for people who are just starting out would be a big help.
@@mr.guillotine3766Agreed. I personally follow Switch & Click, Hipyo Tech, and Glarses. I took a cheap Womier TKL and a cheap Meko Blink 60% (both under $100 at the time) and modified both with their advice. The Womier is using Glorious Pandas and the Meko has Boba U4s with a bunch of foam, etc to make it quiet as possible for work office use.
@mr.guillotine3766 maybe Hipyo or Betty from Switch and Click, there are others of course.
I understand it's all about options, but having a 3 pin switch keyboard isn't that bad, Akko has 3 pin options and their switches are good and they also sell some lubed options, but of course it's good to know it beforehand. Overall I agree, maybe they don't go too deep into the keyboard features to not make a longer video, but explaining or showing every keyboard feature it's important so viewers can make a more educated choice.
@@varkin794 Not sure who is on the same side of the U.S. as them, but pretty sure Hipyo is a bit far away for an in person collab but yeah, I feel like there are a few who would make a really fun collab.
My fav part of this vid “it smells pretty😍”
18:11... I think those are actually rebranded outemu switches... Also, I always wondered, is it pronounced as "Red Dragon" or more like "Re-Dragon"? ... I mean because of the spelling... 🤷♂
anyone have any good like reliable keyboards for gaming under 40? thats wired only
12:38 I still have that sound
This video: keyboards under 50 dollars Also surmen gt61: costs 60 dollars on amazon, being 10 dollars over the budget.
First also, u should do a cheapest keyboards video
9:41 I still have that keyboard and I'm using it :)
Can you do another 30 dollar keyboard rewiew
in my opinion red switches are good for gaming but dont have a nice sound
next time you buy a gaming pc off of amazon can u try and play the game rust?
i need help man i have 800euro and idk where to buy a good pc
Best gaming keyboards, let´s do a type test. 😂😂😂😂
redragon all the way
Prob not first
HipyoTech viewers crying:
exactly
That Surmen is a cheap rip off of a BOYI keyboard with joker theam, they run about $75 on Amazon and are very similar to a Ducky
Saw a few others give pretty good reviews on BOYI boards. Of course, that would have been way over budget for this video and there are quite a few boards out there under $50 these days, but yeah, if you have a bigger budget, you can get something a little better without needing to mod it too much (you still can of course)
@@mr.guillotine3766 The USB C cord was crap, I got a new one for mine but other then that it's been a nice keyboard, has red hot swappable switches, I bought some extra black keycaps for it, I kinda got sick of the joker theme but it still looks really nice with black keys and a white base with my white build.
@@piecingtogethergamingpcs Yeah, those are some pretty easy and cheap ways to improve on things. I was surprised that the cable that came with my cheap Tezarre TK61 wasn't total garbage tbh (not high end, but braided cable, decent length, right angle good fit). Mine came with the Gateron Optical blacks (so limited on what I can change those out too...basically other Gateron optical only), which I choose because I wanted a heavier switch. When I got it, you could choose from the Optical blacks, blues, reds, browns, and maybe yellows? I know there were like 4 or 5 options and there are even models of it that came with standard mechanical switches, so that would have given more options, but I wanted the optical so it works for me. I am not a big fan of my current keycaps, so it's on the list of things I want to change at some point (they are pudding keycaps, which aren't horrible, but not a big fan of the look, though they do look sort of nice when the RGB is on I guess lol). I'll probably take it apart, maybe lube the switches a little bit better (they were factory lubed at least), lube the stabs, and maybe play around with some extra foam to see if I prefer the sound of it. Probably do it all in stages and maybe start with keycaps if I find a set I really like that isn't too expensive.

The best gaming keyboards from Shein?
The more I watch your videos the more I realize you guys don't know much about keyboards.
Not a single one is under 50 don’t waste time if u live in uk and you have a hard budget
Redragon gang
The corsair keyboard is junk My escape button had the same damn problem. After like a few months that thing craps key start getting stuck I do not recommend it.
Hi 😊
Royal Kludge, and HK Gaming GK61 are way better than most of these.
1 - drink every time they say rgb 2 - dont download the software on that irok!! Maaaallllllllware!!
hi
The best gaming keyboards are USED, I've saved hundreds buying razer black widow V3 pro, razer huntsman 60%, rater tartarus pro, Logitech 915 to name but a few all arrived in perfect condition and still going today.

For all those looking for genuine good advice with keyboards, you should never listen to anyone who uses the term "cherry knockoff". Such a term shows that someone is truly out out touch and has no idea what they're talking about. Actual cherry switches are the bottom of the barrel these days. They're dogshit. And they lost their patent almost 2 decades ago.
i see irokkk ppl dont like the soft but its the besst under $50 imo
I just love it when I get a notification saying "Someone liked your comment!" or "Someone has just subscribed!!!" That really makes my day!!!!🆓❤🥰
Ok it's so fun
