Hey man! There are a lot of Keyboard creators out there, feel free to reach out to any of us if you need additional info on them!
There's a lot of keyboards out there and NZXT is a start, but definitely not the end!

I think its pretty good to do videos like this every couple years. Refresher for veterans (who can chime in) and gets newer folks informed on what to look for in their peripherals. Tech changes so fast that if you aren't an enthusiast you just fall out of touch with what you might actually be looking for but get something that sounds familiar. Appreciate the vid to give me something to jump off of and look into getting a keyboard to suit my preferences.

So, just to help out a little, the Cherry Profile actually refers to the height and shape of the keycaps, the "cross" is the MX Style of keycap. You were really close on this, but I didn't want people to get confused.
The "doing" noise can be fixed if you pop the switch itself open and use some lube on the sides and a little on the ends of the spring (or a lighter lube on the whole spring).
There's also Hall Effect switch keyboards and this is the real gamer keyboard. It has even more adjustability on the actuation. The famous one is the Wooting60 and the new comer with a great HE keyboard is the Zoom75 HE keyboard. You may wanna look into that in comparison to Optical.

Wait till Jay finds out about HE boards like Wooting, Arbiter & Boog75 lol

Coming from years deep in the custom keyboard hobby i can only say a few things:
1. Inform yourself well, don't buy these "gamer" oriented brands and boards. You will not get the value and quality you'd want.
2. It's all preference and you will only know by trying and testing yourself - Don't let anyone talk down on your likes.
3. Don't be surprised by prices, it's a luxury goods hobby

I got into the keyboard hobby a few months ago and I have learned so much. To the point where I have built three custom keyboards so far. There is an endless combination of switches, keycaps, stabilizers and so on. What I really love about this hobby is that no two keyboards are the same, since we all combine different switches, keycaps, keyboard cases ect. Not only do they all look different, they all sound and feel different as well. And that is very satisfying. They are kinda like custom PCs. Sure they all have the same basic components, but you will never see two custom PCs that are exactly alike. I used to be like Jay and thought that I could never use anything but a full size keyboard. But when I got into the hobby, I built a 65% keyboard (no F row and no number pad on the right side), but it still has the arrow keys and I loved it. I realized that I never, ever use the F keys and I only use the number pad when I have to word in Excel. So when I am not working, the 65% board works just fine for me. I hope that more people look into custom keyboards. There are so a many other boards out there that are better and even cheaper than the traditional pre-built keybords from gaming companies.

I love my G915, as well. The low profile switches and keycaps are a massive plus for me personally as I have early onset arthritis and it allows for a much more comfortable feel as opposed to full size switches and keycaps with less inclination in the wrist and less bending of the knuckles.

Good video, pretty good info for beginners. Something to note, with mechanical keyboards, if you want to adjust your actuation point you can, you just have to swap out different switches. "Speed" switches generally have a 1-1.2 mm actuation point, standard switches have actuation at 2 mm, and there are various in betweens. You can also get switches with shorter or longer travel, the standard is 4mm while there are short-travel switches with around 3mm travel, and again all types in between. If being able to change actuation point is truly important to someone, though, I'd suggest Hall-effect magnetic switches.

Something I’ve learned is that stabilizers make a huge difference! I’ve only used a couple different mechanical keyboards: I started with a ducky one 2 SF, and ended with a Dygma raise, and both have been phenomenal (but don’t get me started on the Raise not coming with the tenting kit, and being sold out on their website… It’s literally the reason for the name of the product). In the middle, I built my own GMMK Pro. I absolutely love the switch and keycap combo that I came up with, and the board is overall amazing… Except for the fact that the stock stabilizers literally make it garbage. When the keys are depressed, they stick, and sometimes take a few seconds to release. I know it’s just a matter of stock lube, being too heavy, but it seriously destroys the entire typing experience. I can’t believe that they would’ve even shipped boards like that, or not had a recall. Took such an amazing product, and now I just hang it on my wall because I can’t stand using it.

Excellent explanations for all this stuff as always. I have delved into the keyboard stuff and did a handful of mods to keyboards that I like using for different things but it definitely gets complex.

Given that Jay mentioned the Logitech G915, I just wanted to say my job requires me to literally type ALL day, and my keyboard for close to 3 years now has been a refurbished G915. I absolutely love the feel of it and it doesn't hurt my hands at all to type. In fact, it's the opposite and has been the best keyboard I've ever used in terms of hand cramps. 10/10 would recommend!

I love my G915, which I bought when you talked about it a couple of years back.

What a great video to lay out the basics of Keyboards as a single place to get a good idea what all of the different 'specs' are for getting a new keyboard. Thanks.

I used Logitech for years, loved them, but I bought a SteelSeries Apex Pro a couple years ago and the key feel has been a life changer. The magnetic key switches are smooth and you can adjust the activation distance can be adjusted on a per key basis. Basically, analog keys. The LCD screen built in has been fun as well.

Literally was looking for an explained video for keyboards! Thanks Jay

hall effect magnetic switches are the wave rn Jay

Thanks jay for being practical rather than what ever is most expensive.

This was great to watch, I've been wanting to get a new keyboard and mouse for a few months now as they are pretty basic and starting to wear down after a few years. So NZXTs entries make me consider them now for a 100% full keyboard, probably an optical one.

very informative i have heard all kinds of terms on gaming keyboards and mice had no clue

I’ve been into PC gaming for 30 years now. Never understood all the keyboard lingo. This was much appreciated. Thanks Jay!
