I’ve never seen a small KZhead channel this good man, like cmon dude ur explanation is 10/10
Nativenugget stop… you’re making me blush. Thanks for watching the video man, I really appreciate it! Have a great day and happy typing!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha He's actually right, this channel is underated, definitely deserves more. Clear and Expressive explenations. Well Done!
@@ImAMaleCatOfficial 😁😁😁
@@chukwubuikemoguagha mechanical are inferior to membrane lol ive opened brand new mechanical keyboards and the keys dont even work when they click and you gotta mush it all way down just to respond. the complexity of em makes em more failure prone than membrane.
Aged well
No background music. No ads. Straight into the point.
Lol thank you Epic, I try. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
there is
@@chukwubuikemoguaghaLol thank you Chukwubuikem oguagha, I try. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
but there's background music

I give u 2 years and you will be a huge channel on KZhead. Mark my word. Great explanation, good charisma on camera, professional speaker ect. Ect. Ect. Good job bro. Keep grindn and perfecting your craft & dont limit yourself on solely gaming. Get a dope 3 sec intro for the same video everytime. Watched a few of your vids. U underrated an need more exposure. Good vid man
YO THANKS MAN! I really appreciate that, you know sometimes i think to myself “Am i really doing this well” but thanks for reassuring me. That definitely is great motivation for me to go harder and do more. Thanks so much HODChief!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha yeah man you’re doing great fr. Maybe eq the lows& compress the audio in post recording too. Its slight but details like that separate you from the amateurs. People love watching Quality videos all around.. felt like i was watching a pro who just could use a lil constructive criticism. Don’t shy away from paying for promo on KZhead to reach more people other than who is searching for a specific video too. I could go on an on.. just wanted to say you’re doing great bro. Focus on the little things now. I subbed an looking forward to seeing more vids & the progression!
Thanks so much for the support im keeping ALL of this in mind, i really needed it. God Bless you man, have a great day!

we are halfway there
This helped A LOT for my search in the "perfect" keyboard for me. Thanks so much
Great video! I love how he gave equal arguments for every type of keyboard without being biased. 👍
Thanks Haybail, yea they all have their pros and cons, definitely had to be fair lol. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
Great video man! explaining well and talking like a friend. Thank you for explaining ♥
Good work bro!! No. of people subscribed doesn't conclude the quality of video. This video is an example of that.
I don't know when you started your channel-- I just clicked on your video by chance, but you honestly deserve way more views and subscribers. I was trying to figure out what kind of keyboard to get, and thanks to your informative vid, I figured out I wanted both a membrane and mechanical keyboard. Membrane one for work (cause I do lots of online teaching/video calls, so I don't want ppl hearing me and getting annoyed while tying lol), and a mechanical one because I purely enjoy typing and like that tactile and audible feedback (so I can switch to this one whenever I'm just typing docs or when I'm on break). Thanks again man, and I appreciate you splitting up your vids based on what you're discussing. Some content creators don't consider that stuff. Good luck with everything!
Hey Jerri, sorry about the late reply but thank you soooooooooooo much for your appreciation. I'm so happy I was able to help you and that you took notice of some of the little things on my channel, I really appreciate that! I hope you type to your hearts content man, happy to help anytime. Thanks for watching the video and supporting the channel! Have a great day man, happy typing!
I haven't continued the vid but I already love the energy
You cleared up alot of things for me, I just got my first mechanical keyboard. Pretty happy with the decision now. Cheers mate good video👍
Thanks Jake! Im happy I was able to help man, thanks for watching and enjoy your keyboard!

dude, i really love your personality and how you talk in the video. Subscribe🗣🗣🔥🔥
thanks ive been trying to learn about keyboards to one day make my own and this video has been the most helpoful
yo that Intro got me hyped up :D
Underrated video you need more recognition. Keep it up
Thank you Bijon, i really appreciate that! Have a great day man!
I was used to membrane keyboards because of school and I didn't like them because of the feel of them (like 5 years ago), but I thought all the keyboards that look like those were going to feel the same, I liked laptop keyboards more and I decided to go with MX Keys but my fingers started to feel tired after a day of work, I used it for 4 months then I started to search for alternatives and found the different types of keyboards, now I'm using keychron Q1 and it's been great, feels great and sounds great if you're willing to mod it. You really deserve more views, Subscribed.
Thanks for telling your story, I loved reading it! Yea finding the perfect keyboard is a journey for sure and we're all usually introduced to keyboards with crappy ones lol but I'm happy to see you got one that you like. I was thinking of getting the Keychron as well, funny enough. If I ever do I'll probably make a video about that. Thanks for subscribing as well it truly means a lot to me! Welcome to the community, thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
Great video, just right into the point!
Thanks Andreas! Happy I was able to help! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day man, happy typing!
Super underrated, wish I'd found it sooner, but awesome in-depth video dude
Thanks R4KON, I'm happy you liked the video! I hope with this new info you get the keyboard of your dreams haha, have a great day man!
i gotta say u deserve a 1million subs dude ur underated thanks i understand everything i have membrane keyboard for 4 years desiciding to change to mechanical for gaming i think i am gonna make on my own custom one thanks a lot
Im very happy this video was able to help you man, thats what i do it for! Hope you enjoy whatever keyboard you get, have a great day and happy typing!
Very informative video, thank you
this is surprisingly so good explanation for video of 1k views, you should have 100x times that at least, you explained it simply and so good. i dont care about customization and rgb, but i preffer fastest stuff and durable, so kinda optical sounds like my type, hope ill find wireless and silent keyboard
Thanks Nostalgic that comment means a lot. I hope I 100x one day lol. And you'll definitely find a wireless silent one, there are great options out there. Or you could even mod the keyboard if youd like, which is very doable. Thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
Nice explanation man 👍👍
great video! Earned a sub. Keep it up.
AYYYE, thanks Chaz, welcome to the community! Happy you liked the video, hope I make more videos for you to enjoy. Thanks for watching and have a great day, happy gaming!

@@chukwubuikemoguagha same to you pal c;
omg CJ explaining about keyboard!
Very good video. Subbed
bro your editing is on point!
Thanks Michael, I try😅 Have a great day man, happy typing!
It's my first time watching your video and although I already knew about the keyboard types, I truly loved your presentation. Great video (I subscribed) and I look forward to seeing more. Keep up the awesome work! :D
Id like to note that mechanical keybaords can bee wayy more silent than membranes. They also are more silent than opticals as there are no optical silent switches yet. Also mechanical boards can be alot easier to press than membrane ones. Great video :)
Yooooooooo thank you for all those clarifications Stickman! You just taught me so much and i needed it lol. If you know anything else please feel free to tell me and/or correct me, its the only way I'll get better. I'd like the next time I talk about keyboards to be a more well versed video!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha glad that i could help! Ima watch ur other videos when i have time on the weekend!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha (sorry for my bad english) but you could know too that there were alot of tests to see if optical keyboards were actually better for gaming than mechanical ones and the improvement was super minimal
@@stickmananimations2297 Ahh I see, do you have a link to those tests/studies I'd love to see them, if not then thats fine I'll research them on my own as well
@@stickmananimations2297 Awesome, thanks man!
I loved this video. Great explanation of all the keyboards. I had a membrane in my early years, and it had to be replaced often. I am a very heavy typer, on the computer all the time. I went from that, to my very first mechanical keyboard, which was blue switches. I loved it, even loved the sound. The feel was so much superior for me over the membrane. My E cap was wearing down, and replacing the keycaps were just too much for me, as it cost the same as the keyboard, so I opted to replace it with an optical switch keyboard. Mine is the Apex Pro by SteelSeries. There is one thing about optical you did not mention that I thought I would bring up here. Since the keyboard relies on light in order to actuate, the actuation point can be adjusted. You can have it set so that an extremely light tap of the key so it barely moves will actuate it, or, you can make it so that you have to bottom the key out in order to actuate it. That is how the SteelSeries Apex Pro works. I love it. So during games, I can have my WASD keys very sensitive, yet, I can make the key for throwing a bomb require a further press so that I do not accidently press it. You can even set one key to do two different things with "Dual actuation", which the SteelSeries has. Not all keyboards with optical switches have these features though. There are a few limitations though to such a setup. First, since you can adjust the actuation, these keyboards do not come in the brown or blue style switches. They are all in the style of reds (AKA linear). For me, I find if I set the key to be 100 percent bottom out requirement, sometimes they won't register. Similarly, if I set it to completely sensitive, I find the keys will easily accidentally register. So having them at the extremes is not the best idea. It's amazing how far keyboards have come from the late 90's. I love it!
dude that intro was amazing.
Great explanation. Thanks.
No problem Aayush, happy this video was able to help you. Thanks for watching it and have a great day! Happy Typing!
Great Video!. Thanks🙂
Very well done
I was about to buy a membrane keyboard and i didn't had an idea about it, now i know what to pick. Thanks for the informations! Greetings from Tunisia!
Hey Zinelabidine, greetings from New York! Great to hear that my video helped you man, can't believe the video made it all the way to Tunisia lol, thats awesome! Thanks for watching the video brother, happy I was able to help. Have a great day and Happy Typing!
Hi fellow tunisian. What store/site is the best for price in pcs/components/mouse,keyboard,screen headphones and that stuff
Great Video i Feel like i learned a lot , going to get a mechanical key board
Great video, I learned a lot. I just bought my first mechanical keyboard, a Corsair K95 with blue clicky keys. I love it! It's time to toss all my old Dell membrane keyboards collected over the years.
LMAO, I remember the day I did the same Mr Tunapie. (What a great username btw lol. It sounds like it should be a song. "Aint no guy like Mr Tunapie" I can literally hear it now 😂) The Corsair K95 is a GREAT keyboard. I know you'll love it for years to come. Happy you enjoyed my video, thanks for watching and have a great day Mr Tunapie!
I just got a mechanical and I love it’s clicky switches. I didn’t even know about optical keyboards. Thanks for the run down and not using a bunch words I don’t understand lol!
Playboi!!!! Bro I wish I had some of these videos when I was building my PC and picking my keyboard. Got input from my peeps that said mechanical. But didn’t really tell me why. Great vids as always! We gotta run a game sometime, if you not busy with the content creation of course.
Bro of course, I'll add you on PSN. I just found it on your twitch and I'll give you a follow there too. I'm not really on twitch like that but I'm always down to support how I can!
See that is why I fwu! I appreciate that! Same goes here boss!
Useful video. Thanks.
No problem SaintSanti, happy to help man! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day! Happy Gaming!

Such a great explanation. You definitely will grow to 100K or 1M if you keep trying.
YO THANKS FOR THE LOVE QWERTY! With support like yours we can make it happen, thanks man! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day, happy typing!
@@chukwubuikemoguagha No problem. You deserve it as your videos are really good. Keep growing!
good guide easy to understand
I never knew the differences between the two until about a day ago. However when I first got a quiet keyboard it was such relief.
what keyboard did you get? I too am looking for a quiet keyboard.
Why doesn't this have more views?? Your video is so much more informative than videos with higher views out there.
I wish I'd found this video earlier and saved myself the hassel of doing a lot of searching about keyboards. Great video mate. I ordered myself a HyperX alloy origins full size with red linear. What are your thoughts on this?
SO SORRY ABOUT THE LATE REPLY, I try to answer comments like these as early as possible but I guess yours fell through the cracks. Thats a fine keyboard to get and definitely a great starter to intermediate one at that. I'm sure by now you already bought it, feel free to lmk how you like it so far! Thanks for watching the video, have a great day and happy typing!
Very good video, thank you
Thank you Manchitas😊, have a great day!
I don’t even have a computer but when I have I’ll watch your vid again, Thanks
Lol
good vid bro
You deserve way more subscribers.😊
Thanks Shayan, with your support I know I’ll get more. Have a great day brother!
very good explanation.
Thanks Claire, i wanted to be as clear as possible. Happy I was able to help, thanks for watching and have a great day. Happy typing!
love this guy just subbed to him
Thanks man, love you too😁! Welcome to the community and have a great day!
Great vid for noobs like me trying to figure out what keyboard i need! continued success!....
Good video covering the 3 most common variants. You forgot Hall Effect switches though - i.e. Lekker switches from Wooting or the Flux keyboards (granted the later is brand new and didn't exist a year ago) - also brand new in this matter DrunkDeer with budget keyboards using Hall Effect switches...
Holy smoke M.L, thanks for updating me. I was unaware of the new stuff tbh. I have to go check those out. And yea I knew about the hall effect switches but I figured they were too rare at the time to add to the video but if I ever update this video I'll make sure to put them in. Thanks for watching the video brother, have a great day and Happy Typing!
Only 10K subscribers? Your channel is underrated
Good video dude
Thanks Balram, I appreciate that, it means a lot! Thanks for watching the video and have a great day!
