Is the wiki down? I haven't been able to access it for a while now Oo .

Today I have something quite special; the new Round 4 version of the Hyper7 keyboard! I've been looking forward a lot to reviewing this, and I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I enjoyed working on this project .

Today we look at a keyboard packed with interesting features - exactly the sort of thing I like to dive into . Hope you enjoy the video!

Today we look at something interesting; a keyboard with a bigass screen in it! Or more specifically, a big dot-matrix display with RGB LEDs. Hope you enjoy the video!

Today we look at a late '80s Hall effect keyboard from Czechoslovakia, the Zbrojovka Brno or Tesla Consul 262.3 keyboard. A pretty cool piece, if on the rusty side. I took extra special care to properly convert to Imperial units this time - hope you enjoy the video!

Wait, DT has advertising cookies now? xD

Today we look at another keycap set; something cool again! These are metal (I suspect it's zamak) and have a quite unique feel and sound to them. Hope you enjoy the video!

Today we look at something different; a keycap set! When I first spotted them, I immediately suspected they had great sound potential, and they look awesome to boot. It was supposed to only be a sound test, but I guess I couldn't help myself and did a mini-review as well. Hope you enjoy the video! :...

In this video, I ramble on about contactless keyboards! Hope you enjoy the video!

Doh, you're right... Dunno what happened, my eyes deceived me, sorry

TBH until not long ago I was sure your nick on YT was "Chyrosan22" so...

You're not the only one dude, like I said, for some reason everyone seems to misread it .

They shortened the article (it used to span 2 pages) and it is correct now. But but but, it isn't? xD "The keyboard enthusiast known as Chryosran22 on YouTube shared a video examining a Commodore 64 keyboard's switches, which included external coil springs and used a PCB. He described the switches ...

Ars Technica has reviewed a Commodore-themed one . (They even linked to a YT video of Chyros reviewing an original C64 keyboard in the article) This model explains why the shape of the power-LED was shaped like the C64's on the NES-themed keyboard: it was planned all along but with they didn't want...

Today we look at not just a vintage keyboard, but a whole computer! A Bondwell B310 Superslim laptop from 1990, to be precise. This model happens to come with a full-travel mechanical keyboard with very rare Cherry MX switches, as it happens. Hope you enjoy the video!

Quite excited for this review; we take a look at the 8BitDo keyboard! With the new Kailh Box White v2 switches in it, no less. Next week I'll be putting out a TDXL video of this board with Clickiez in it, that should be good too ^^ . Hope you like the video!

You’d better bring a heavy escort, Chyros. So many of your DT viewers seem to have a bone to pick with you.

At some point you get dulled to the death threats, this is why I don't visit DT much anymore these days :p .

I'll be there as well .

Today we look at the Keychron V6, a mid-budget offering that I hope will be a good recommendation for someone's first keyboard! Plus we also take a look at the highly requested gAteron Melodic switch, a click leaf switch. Hope you enjoy the video!

This keyboard ticks a lot of boxes for me for gaming. But, damn, why do gaming peripheral companies always go overboard with the CYBER AF aesthetic. I will never buy a keyboard for gaming, that looks gamery. Though I agree the gaming look can be really bad, I do have to acknowledge that it's the ga...

Today we're doing a follow-up of the previous Keydous keyboard; the NJ98-CP Pro, with magnetic instead of contact-based switches! Hope you like the video!

Very interesting! Those Northgate labels were put in the top left to my knowledge, not in the nav. The way the paper label is slapped on kind of makes it look like they fell off and someone just put them back on. I've done a whole piece on the history of Focus and Northgate in one of my videos but i...

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Today we look at the Corsair K70 Max, the polar opposite of the keyboard I reviewed last time, also a K70 from Corsair. 2024 has a lot of good stuff coming up it seems, so stay tuned!

Lol, super cool. These switches are whack xD .

Cortron still exist and still produce ruggedised keyboards, though nowadays it's foam and foil if I remember correctly, but it's been so long since I looked into it that my memory might be failing. ITW are the ones who patented the switch originally. I think Cortron were the ones who actually made t...

Is it me that's out of touch or is it them? xD

Great job, I love projects like this .

Today we look at the NJ98, a hotswap keyboard with an integrated calculator, of all things! One can only hope these become more commonplace again. Hope you enjoy the video!

Very nice find! Always love it when stuff like this emerges ^^ .

Returning to Chyros's review: Is the QMK model wireless/Bluetooth like the "triple mode" model? Their website 's pretty pictures aren't matched by cogent text. Try clicking on "Specification." :lol: In any case, facing the "no Control key!?!" situation Chyros did, I'd have remapped Caps Lock to Con...

Today we look at a retro keyboard inspired by an Apple icon; the Vortex M0110! Not a true 1:1 replica of the original, but instead a modern reimagining. Hope you enjoy the video!

And yeah, it doesn't sound the same as blue Alps. But then again, nothing modern ever will xD . Aye, I know, that's just me in reverse salesman mode: making reasons *not* to buy this tempting board. ;) I can live with different clicky switches, really; I’m having my first day ever with NEC blue ova...
