      I just have to point out that you switched U and C. Awesome video though, I've used XDA for about 6 months and I love them. Even for gaming, I don't move my fingers around a lot (MMO mouse) so it's a non issue for me personally!

    2:11 I have these keycaps, and wen putting them on my board I noticed thatif you turn the key cap around there is a tiny cutout to signify the bottom of the keycap, basically u put the C and U key in the wrong spots cause they look similar, but the U font is slightly slimmer than the C. Overall I am really enjoying the comort of these keycaps

      @HipyoTech  Před 3 lety +4

      Honestly didn't change too much, but I use this keyboard on and off whenever I need a small and light keyboard on my desk (e.g while filming) I would say XDA can be a bit of a doozy at first if coming from a taller profile but won't take long to get used to
