I Used an Ortholinear Keyboard for 30 Days...

Video Description

Ortholinear keyboards were once said to be "the next thing". It was popular all over Youtube. However, now in 2023, it has seemingly disappeared into oblivion. I will be spending 30 Days with this keyboard to try and answer the simple question: Why is this the case and should you try one? Video Information: This was done over about 30 days, through which the middle I took a trip to Canada. On that flight I decided for fun to beat Glarses in the “World’s ‘Fastest’ Typist” which you can see here: https://youtu.be/M9SI1xIBvao The narration is split about 50/50 live commentary, and reflection (usually about the day after each). I used a BM40 40% Ortholinear Keyboard and I AM NOT sponsored or given this keyboard by KPRepublic. I bought it myself. (Although I’d love to collab on a molded mechanical keyboard *heart*) Angled brackets are not allowed lol :v Alas, only the carbon fiber plate is still on Amazon, so this is an Amazon associate link :) https://amzn.to/3ppGpPr The microphone I use [AT2020] (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3RVlFYH Modding kit I use (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3B21Ib Credits: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com Music by MBB | https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial https://www.youtube.com/c/MBBMUSIC https://www.instagram.com/mbb_music Buy Music Licenses at www.mbb-music.com Timestamps: 0:00 Intro/Overview 0:44 Week 1: Building/Keyboard Specs 2:10 Firmware Bug/Instructions 4:00 Week 1: First Attempts/Impressions 7:20 Week 2: Real-World Tests #1 (Writing) 9:02 Week 2: Real-World Tests #2 (Basic Video Editing) 10:32 Week 3: Real-World Tests #3 (Gaming) 18:57 Week 4: Typing Tests #1 (Sentences/Typing-Tube) 23:46 Potential Latency WARNING 24:12 Week 4: Typing Tests #1 Continued... 25:23 Week 4: Typing Tests #2 (Speedtyping/Monkeytype) 29:58 Week 4: 15s Typing Test Result (Monketype) & Thoughts 31:31 Week 4: 60s Typing Test Result (Monketype) & Thoughts 32:12 30 Day PB (15s) & Concluding Thoughts 33:48 Suggestions Chart (if you want to try) 33:58 30 Day PB (15s) Result
