It’s crazy how you spend a lot of time making these high quality videos and only few people watch. I am not here to demotivate you, i am here to tell you keep on going. Don’t stop you will make it brotha.
Thanks bro ☺️ I'm sure the viewer's will come in time, until them I'm blessed with awesome subscribers like you along for the ride! Got some big plans for next year so excited to share those video's with you 😁👍
Geez this is literally the best review that I’ve seen on this keyboard, and it only has so many views?! You definitely deserve more than that seeing that the quality and information in this video is better than any popular tech CZcamsr had!
I subscribed you because you are absolutely deserving subscription and all of our support. Don't give up on your production. You ROCK!
Great vid been looking for a cheap mech keyboard for a while
Keep the great vids up
Yeah it's a great price and packed with features! Thanks for watching Faris, appreciate it 👍
Ur editing is insane
Thanks man! Really appreciate it 😍
Hi cam. How tf are you such a small channel with a production quality like that?
Aww dude thanks 😍 I'm working on it haha. I put in the same amount of effort into a vid today as I would if I had a million subscribers. I don't see a sub number as a determining factor of video value, so I'd rather someone find a video which helps them regardless of my channel status :) but it would be nice to see the channel grow larger, can't lie haha 😉
When I started watching the video I legit thoutgh this was another great, big, foreign tech channel that I didn't know of. But when I scrolled down to see the comments, I noticed the views and subs. I was quite shocked lol definetly deserves more recognition, and if you keep this level of quality up, that you shall get! Cheers from Brazil! Great work @cam shand
I own one, and it definitely is one of the best budget mechanical keyboards out there. Good software, hardware, and build quality for $36 (in my area)
That's great to hear! and yeah the $60 figure is AUD, so it'll be cheaper in US, and probably also cheaper with shipping. Either way, for it's price it's a solid unit 😍
Man 2 videos within 7days! What do we owe this pleasure! Great video as always mate, are you using it as your daily now? 👍
haha finally dusting off the Video ideas book and ploughing through them :P and naah not for my main PC, that'll still be my K95 platinum but I've been using the KB1 with my iPad pretty often at home, and once back in the office I'll use it there as my daily. I really dig it, honestly can't believe its price!
Watching the video, I though you have, like, half a million subs or something bruh. Your videos are so good, you deserve more yo, also, I'm so glad I found this keyboard. I was about to buy RK61, when I accidentally came across this blitzwolf, and now I just saved myself what could have been a regretful decision.
Thanks bro, too kind 😍 glad you found it, it's quite the underdog. So many features for such a little price! Enjoy
Wow. Same bro
You, my friend have earned a sub.
Good review. Can you change the keycaps to fit the nordic and german ISO and change the language in the software?
Thanks for the review, I'm waiting for mine to be delivered. I hope you get more subs and views, keep up the good work. :)
Thank you Roren, appreciate you checking out my review
Hey! Is it still in good condition?
I just ordered mine in white with brown switches. Thanks bro!
How is the keyboard now ?
@@bluecyrusgaming4397 it’s not bad. LED s are still really cool. Some of the keys are a little squeaky. But not too noticeable. And it’s a very cool keyboard
@@gabrielperri9906 thanks for the reply, I though you'd not reply
I ordered one last week! Amazing review. Was it hard for you to get used to the different layout with the smaller shift and added arrows?
Naah I got used to it pretty quick man, plus there's a combo in the instructions to switch the shift and ? Key natively with using the software on your PC. That can be useful if you keep making typos or switch between multiple keyboards
it is a good keyboard? what you think bout it after months?
i know i'm late but..man your video is awesome..new sub here!
God dammit man you went through anything about the keyboard and had an excellent sound test, excellent edits, and excellent specifications. Somehow come you only got 5k views.
i have one and it sounds amazing!! the led lights are so vibrant!
They're bright aren't they! Also yes do love the sound of a mechanical keyboard 😍 what switches did you get?
@@camshand red!
@@ipris9118 Nice! I'd guess you play a few games then 😀?
@@camshand i'm not a gard core gamer tho..lol! but i lke to play fps on roblox and among us! i only got the red ones because everyone was raving in the reviews about how smooth they were!
Hey! Is it still in good condition?
Tremenda edicion papaaaa
I’m a bit late, waiting for mine to arrive but are the switches scratchy at all?
what budget keycaps can u recommend with that kb? nice video man!
A normal 60% layout cap set won't fit as you've got the odd sized right shift key, and right alt + fn, so you'd probably need to buy a full set with modifiers.
I have TaiHao caps on my Corsair K95, using a vintage white colourway, and I know they make sets that should include the extra keys you'd want. Issue is you'll have a lot of unused keys left over :S
@@camshand oh i see, thank you very much man, that's a ton helpful
Great video and great review!
However, I have a small correction to something you say in the video. The plate that holds the keys in place is actually aluminum.
I just got the keyboard and it seems the software was already fixed regarding the colors of the LEDs.
And my keyboard does not wobble without the feet extended. Guess you just got unlucky there.
Thanks for the insights Gabriel! Awesome to hear yours doesn't wobble, maybe my aluminum was a bit warped, might try pulling it apart and looking.
Good to hear there's since been an update to solve the little RGB bug too 😊👍
bruh, this is the one i want so now i'm probably gonna get it. and this also was the one i added to my wishist on banggood. SO TRACKING AM I RIGHT
Is there a way to adjust computer volume with this keyboard? Also was there any latency while gaming/typing?
can you set it to one colour (blue) without using the desktop driver because i have a chromebook and i dont think you can download drivers on there
Nice review.....👍
Thanks Rama, have you got a mechanical keyboard? Or looking to get one? 😊
@@camshand I recently purchased Logitech MX Keys so that I can connect to my Mac and Work laptop. In past I did used CoolerMaster mechanical keyboard I purchased from CentreCom
@@ramaachalla6316 great buy, that looks like a awesome keyboard, especially if you're used to chiplet keys. I had a Razer Deathstalker as was used to the low profile keys of a laptop. The MX Keys would be great for keeping that muscle memory of short travel distance!
This one looks good
Yeah mate it's a great find. Not many other products at this price point with as many features 👌
in England it is £40
you can't beat mechanical keys. Owning 3 IBM model M's they are unbeatable.
They must be awesome! I've never tried buckling springs but heard they're quite the typing experience. Once I got my first mechanical keyboard I could never go back 🤣
You can switch between cable and bluetooth mod by a short cut? I like a concept to to switch to bt for answer my sms and switch to pc to play again
Yes, Fn+TAB toggles between Bluetooth mode and Wired, and Fn+Q-T changes up to 5 paired devices 👍 quite handy for the use you've described, I switched between my PC and iPad effortlessly 😁
@@camshand Oh nice, thanks a lot :)
would you recommnd this over the rk61?
The "?" KEY IS THE PROBLEM
Which one did you end up getting?
The '/?' key is the only reason why I won't buy this reason, as I'd use it for coding mostly. I am sad for that:/ Do you have some other recommendation instead of this keyboard? You can put an affiliate link so you can get some money from that
Hey mate, I haven't tried it personally but I see the Royal Kludge rk61 as a very popular model too.
LINK: geni.us/QPho
Only thing you might struggle with is it doesn't have dedicated function keys, they're available through a modifier, which is why the KB1 has the /? in a weird spot. However there is a toggle in the instructions I found that lets you change at the board level, the right shift to be that key, and it to be a SHIFT, so depending on how often you use right shift that may be a better trade off to have all arrows.
Just ordered one of these I got it in white though because I think it looks better
Great choice, I love the look of the white, such a refreshing colour for a mechanical keyboard
Hey! Is it still in good condition?
@@Drewjosephwoliver21wetherbyuk yeah why?
Hello, can you give me a direct link to download the software for this product? I can't find it anywhere
Hey Benja,
I've put a link in the description, here's what it was👇
Keyboard Drivers/Software/Manual (Search KB1): www.blitzwolf.com/support.html
I want to upgrade from my current keyboard to this one, however the only thing holding me back is the question as to whether or not this keyboard would work with the HyperX pudding keycaps. I’m assuming it won’t because of the shorter shift key, but just wondering if anyone can help me out.
That is a good question, you could possibly use a different key in its place, but I do not have them to test the layout. Hopefully someone else can comment
It seem a little better than the Anne Pro 2
Yeah the Anne does have PBT caps out the box, but is a traditional 60% layout without arrow keys. So the price of the BW-KB1 is crazy cheap, and it also has Bluetooth 5.0 which would make its battery life longer in comparison.
That kaws shirt tho 😏
nice spot 😉 love his work, was fortunate to be able to go check out the exhibition in Australia, was really cool to see some of his original sketches, and progression from Graffiti style into the characters we see today
can you put hyperx pudding keycaps on it?
You can but the bottom row might not fit right. Being a slightly modified layout you'll need a kit with many modifiers or just use some. My Corsiar K95 has a strange layout so have only used the letter key caps custom. So although they have standard MX switch mounts, you'll run into size differences
This or RK61? Pls help me decide which one should I buy. TQVM :)
to my knowledge, the RK61 isn't RGB so there's that factor, but it does have the traditional 60% layout so the "?" key isn't in a strange spot. However you can just remap it in the KB1 software like I showed in the video.
The KB1 can also pair with 5 bluetooth devices over the RK61's 3 memory store.
Other than that, if you can get the mechanical switch type you prefer they seem pretty similar :)
the real doubt is, this one or GK61 (has optical hot swappable switches)
Man, my Blitzwolf KB1 keeps the space bar light on while connect on cable even if the battery is fully charged. So, annoying! Does anyone knows how to fix it?
Hmm that's weird, it should turn off once fully charged.
It is annoying that it's front and center of view though, can ruin the aesthetic of other RGB combo's.
hey, cam! this review is a masterpiece, thanks! l actually from Brazil and l use the layout abtn2, can u tell me if is possible and how use ' ç ~ ^ `´ ' in this keyboard?
Hey Dan, sorry missed your comment, Honestly I have no idea how you'd modify keys to be those stokes unless it's within your Operating System by setting the language pack.
The keyboard does have the custom key mapping option so you might have luck there changing a general keystroke to a specific symbol.
But yeah, I would have presumed you'd just change the text input language setting within Windows or Mac OS
Do the keys sound like they do in real life?
well yeah, not as loud as the video given the microphone is right near them but mechanical keyboards always have the more "clunky" sound than a membrane.
pls can you give me software link?
Hey mate, there's links in the description to the support pages with software downloads :)
How can posible ???
The Gateron switches would help getting costs low, and using plastic for the base makes a difference. But I'd be happy to use it every day, feels and operates just like you'd expect, great deal
The software doesn't work, does anyone know why?
Are you just getting a Security message when trying to install? you'll need to click the "more options" text on the UAC prompt to approve the install
Typing this comment on my BW-KB1, super nice and would reccomend
what can you tell me about the durability? i'd like to buy this keyboard
@@lucasgadelha137 I have only had this keyboard for a few weeks so I couldn’t say if it is durable, but I can say that for the price it is a great deal, especially compared to name brands, like razer and logitech.
Hey! Is it still in good condition?
@@Drewjosephwoliver21wetherbyuk Yeah it feels still brand new and have had no issues so far
How do I get the software?
There's a link in the description, either have to scroll down to find it or just search BW-KB1 to filter the list 👍
Wait. 7K subscribers? Just. How.
You can help make it reach 8K 😊✌️
Why does banggood have a 61% bad reviews on trust pilot? I was about to buy it until I saw reviews about that website.
I had a look through, to me it seems like mostly complaints about warranty claims and having to ship it back to china.
Personally, I've bought from them multiple times over the past few years and had no issues. One time I had a LCD Touchscreen for my Raspberry Pi arrive broken, damaged in shipping, I took a photo, opened a case on their portal and received a refund within a couple days. Of course everyone's experience will be different, and there's no doubt a lot more cheaply made products on the site as opposed to the keyboard in the review. remember people are more inclined to leave a bad review than good, and final advice is just use PayPal, whenever I see a store with a PayPal checkout I don't stress as have buyers protection there with a middle man to sort out any issues if they were to ever occur. 😁👍
A very bad idea from Blitzwolf related to the replacement of the key with the question mark (?). This key should stay in the standard position, as it is very often used by people who write texts. In contrast, the right Shift key is rarely used and may have been moved to the far right edge of the keyboard. I'm very disappointed. The right shift keypad cannot be replaced with the question mark keypad as it is too large compared to the question mark keys. I want a keyboard with the standard position of the question mark (?) key. In the next keyboard model, Blitzwolf should fix its mistake. In addition, the performance of the keyboard software should be improved. The disadvantage of this keyboard is intense, irritating green backlight while charging the battery.
you can't physically switch it, but you can in the software and there is a key combo in the manual to change it as well. So yeah although the keycap will say "shift" still, it'll function as the "?" key, just strange they didn't by default have it the other way around as you're right, can't remember the last time I used the right shift key.
@@camshand Thank you. Yes, I know about this possibility. But I would like the standard key position. Just like on the Royal Kludge RK61 keyboard
I just ordered an RK61 and I just found out about this keyboard :(
Still a fantastic keyboard, the only main difference is the arrow keys. In which the RK61 has a normal "?" Key placement anyway being preferable for most ☺️
So brown is fast than blue and red?
Red are considered the fastest in the standard lineup because there's no resistance with actuation. But there's many other switches out there which are faster again but you need to build a custom board.
I choose brown as it gives me that bump which is much preferred for typing and doing work. If you're only ever gaming and light typing, then Red's are a popular choice.
@@camshand i want for typing. I'm web designer and i typing so much. So brown you recommend for me?
@@Leonidas-mx7lx oh yes brown for sure then, they're the same as blue but don't make the loud click sound, much more pleasant for work :)
@@camshand thank you shand :)
Hmmm. On aliexpress it is 44$
The prices I listed are Australian Dollar, so just check who has the cheapest, and for your local country :)
Hi, I bought this keyboard of eBay, will it still be the same or is it a scam?
JUST STOP LET ME GET ONE BEFORE
I hate brown switches so I got triggered when I seen those
Atleast its not blue 😂
