- This keyboard costs $600, yes you heard that right, $600. Is the keyboard worth the hefty price tag? Let's take a closer look at the Niz Duo 82.

For everyone that may be confused, it's not a "membrane" keyboard, but is an Electro capacitive one. Just like topre!
Nice way of saying membrane. I mean, I too sould say that to justify the price lmao
@@grudgepew3797 as someone with 4 topre boards, I'm well past needing to justify lmao
@@grudgepew3797 it is not a membrane.
You know a membrane is a "rubber-ish" form of a PCB?
Topre, niz, etc. have got a regular pcb.
How is this a membrane
@@grudgepew3797 Tell me you don't know what Topre switches are without saying you don't know what Topre switches are :P
@@TimSheehan Nice one, snob!
**sees the price**
my eyes watered a little.
yes
Why?
@@stonksagent9040 money no ez to get

i can't even get money on my first custom that i want to build for 500$(35$ from this is for delivery)
(kbdfans d60/d65 kit on fr4 plate, gateron black inks v2, kbdfans MA PBT sub-dye keycaps for 33$, aviator cable for 30$, all from Ali, because i'm russian)
Ohhh an EC switch keyboard with custom keyboard vibe
:3C 🥰🥰🥰
Their Atom68 aluminum edition was nice too 👍
Hey :3ildcat
Wildcat you are a champ
:3 cute cat:3
I love the deep sound you get from these sorts of switches but man do these sound scratchy as hell. I'd sacrifice a bit of thock for smother sounding switches anyday
id love to see another typing test in a couple months to see if they break in
Varmilo has a mechanical ec switch
Yeah. It sounds like you are typing on the keyboard you took to the beach
(Actually took my keyboard to the beach. This sound worse)
It sounds like you type on sand.
@@adriancioroianu1704 and they’re actually smooth but the actual spund of the switch is really auiet making 5e scratch audible
Wow Betty, I love hearing the confidence in your delivery lately. You’ve really come into your own and have developed the personality and sense of humor of your channel. It’s great and getting even better keep up the great work!
Second this!
Third this!
Fourth this!

5:42 Just for reference, a membrane keyboard should mean that it uses a floppy pressure-activated membrane in place of a PCB. This keyboard has a PCB, not a membrane. That silicone mat is more properly called rubber domes. Most cheapo generic keyboards use a combination of rubber domes and a membrane because it's the cheapest possible combination of technologies. This keyboard, however, is an example of electro-capacitive rubber domes, the most well-known example of which is Topre, which is definitely not a cheap keyboard technology, hence the price. EC rubber domes are far more refined in feel over your typical generic rubber dome keyboard, and are also far more durable.
respect. its a common mistake, but thankfully there are people around to correct it while also being nice
Sounds like digging dirt in minecraft or spamming blocks
I made a mistake, these are not membrane. They are rubber dome. Also, join the Discord here: discord.gg/CGAcdAfx

I'm loving watching the development of this channel! Voiceover was excellent and so was the writing. Adore all of the B-roll too!
Glad you enjoy it!
switch and click is fire ong no cap
I honestly love your confidence on this platform and I love all of your videos and your skills
Legitimately a badass build and video! The format and production value are definitely on point. Keep crushing it!
Thanks! Will do!
the music around 4 mins is perfect for the mood haha, always love the video editing! Great video
Congrats on 100k I found your channel recently it's very interesting and shows good depth of knowledge
I feel like "scratchy" has such a negative connotation. In my opinion, these "scratches" add extra characteristics/sounds to the switch rather than a bad thing. For example, linear switche like the Novelkey Cream have this distinct scratch(sounds not feels - when lubed ofc). Instead of being a perfectly smooth and silent stroke represent by an empty clear sky, the extra sounds add a mid-profile represent by adding some clouds in the blue sky. This of course comes down to personal preference. "Scratchy" is not bad, please don't downplay characteristics of a product like Glarses did to the browns. Let the newcomer experience and learn what they like. Cream does sound like you're whipping cream foam.
If you prefer completely smooth silent linear switch with nice thoccs, don't go to novel key cream switches videos/reviews or any simliar switches and say it's scratchy/trash. It's their signature.
rattly stabs, pinging, overlubing, etc are bad ofc.
@@Jojifans it’s scratchy and I don’t like it.
Some people may. I don’t
novel keycreams are said to be smooth yet their scratchy. Thats why their trash and always will be. Change my mind.
they*re
I’m into the mechanical hobby, but I have to admit I’m a lover of all keyboards... (yes, even some mushy membranes). This looks super cool, and I knew it had to have been similar to topre because that very unique sound it has! Would love to see more custom keebs with different switch types. Also a super cool detail that this one is MX keycap compatible-that black-on-white set you used looks great and I bet the whole board would still look good with just that set alone!
Love it! Huge improvement, plenty of info.
I really like the style of this video, hope to see more of this style in the future
Your channel has been growing so fast recently! Congrats! 🎉
you have gained 1.3k in 40 minutes
congrats on 100k, i watched a full add without skipping because i enjoy your content :)
Noooo, just skip the ad. I do appreciate it though but I want you to just enjoy the content haha
the videos are getting better and better!
I have the Niz Plum 68 Atom with RGB, it's an amazing board and a unique typing experience. I also relubed the stabs with krytox and changed the stock keycaps to the white Drop Skylight keycap set and it's so nice.
congrats on 100k! keep it up 👍🏽
I have the niz micro 82. I added bke redux domes and topre silencing rings (shoutout to keyclack). One cool thing about the bke domes is that you can add different weights on different fingers. I like the heavy ones, but they're not too practical for pinkies. That's where the lights and ultra lights come in. I just got a couple sample packs of all four weights to round out my large order of heavies.
In addition, the software for this keyboard is really easy to work with to customize different layouts. And you can switch between your custom layout and a standard layout on the fly by pressing function and delete. Pretty handy!

Congratulations in advance for 100k subscribers! ❤
I've been watching you for a month now and u are one of my fav youtubers. U deserve more subs.
Such well done videos ANOTHA AWESOME ONE!
Hey betty, congrats on 100k subs! Can't wait for your next upload~
That is a REALLY high typing angle. Almost looks more like some sort of industrial input device when you are typing on it lol.
Drop Artifact Bloom caps are a really good value for the money IMO. Did your R2 Alphas have a slightly more coarse texture than the other caps? I've had two sets of them so far that both have the same issue to varying degrees.
This board looks legit really awesome!
I love the dramatic music in the backround
Yayy Congrats On 100K! Hope You Hit 1M Soon! :). Glad to be a fan!
Thank you!
Wooo!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial You have to do a video showing the plaque off! :)
Hey! I love your vids your so inspiring. I have never had a custom keyboard and made one but you inspired me to make one thanks so much !
the black, white, gray and yellow go together really nicely
The channel is actually doing pretty good 👍…..its no surprise coz the content is top notch ❤️
When are you gonna do the mods on the keychron c1/c2? I've been waiting for it since forever.
I literally don't care about keyboards...but I found your channel when I was building my PC and I wanted some information before buying a keyboard.
I stuck around because you talk so confident and knowledgeable and it's like listening to a podcast
Anyway I think slowly through following you I might care a little more about keyboards and may fix mine up soon
JEEZ THESE CHANNEL IS GROWING SO FAST
HERE WHEN YOU WERE AT 30K
I'd love to see you dive into the 96% list. With the Royal Kludge RK100, the Epomaker GK96, the Keychron K4 the YMDK96, and a few others, it's a pretty solid market, and I think it deserves more attention!
That thing is really sweet. I don't see myself ever spending that much, and it's not my layout, but I like the style and I don't mind a decent membrane keyboard.
im pretty sure this channel was at 40k when i last saw it, jesus christ consistent growth
It sounds great! The price is quite high tho. I also don’t really like the case, but still great build
For me it sounds like slime
your channel is fire ong no capd
Great video Betty! Too bad it was a bit late as the group buy ended a couple days ago.
That's the most intense keyboard sound I've ever heard.
CONGRATS ON 100K!
I'd love to see u review the new Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini, I might get it!
Interested but the GB finished yesterday. The timing is a bit sad. Love your channel ;) Got à Niz Micro82 this week as my first “mechanical” keyboard since a loooong time. It’s fantastic.
You pht so much work into this grea TV vids pls keep making these vids
Hey!! been really loved watching you video alot recently !!
I especially like the ducky one 2 varmilo miya pro panda. Its one of the cutest keyboard I ever see!
I'm actually into watching some live stream of you modding keyboard.. wonder if you would do it in the future for the content?
they sound so smooth but still, kinda weird and deep
Great video! Was wondering if you have any tkl or full size hotswappable kb recommendations? Thanks!
Actually there is a better way to totally eliminate the rattle for this kind of stabs, fill the gap of the stabs insert clip thingy with grease and it will sounds absolutely perfect
Loving the 80’s console design 🕹🖨💻🕹….PS1/Commodore 64 vide and the sound 🦻🏼🦻🏼💃🕺of seniors shuffling feet📽🎥🎞📻🎙📺 in a nursing home from the keyboard!
idk how you are doing this but you are growing so fast, ggs
Would like to try one of these sometime. I like the feel of rubber dome switches and scissor switches, and it's hard to get that from cherry-style switches.
(but holy panda and ttc bluish white gets close)
I love your videos! Maybe you can do some razer or logitech keyboards?
sounds similar to silent reds, good work!
CONGRATS ON 100K
Mixing Epbt caps is what makes their price point so good!
FYI, EnjoyPBT actually sells a black and white keycap set just like this. No need to mix and match.
wooaah im early nice vid!! thats soo cool!
im a fan of membranes
Great video and the keyboard looks awesome but soooooo exp. I personally have more than 5 keyboards (some I paid for myself Durgod Taurus K320 - Cherry Browns, Logitech G915 TKL, Logitech K780, Logitech K380, Logitech G413, Ducky One 2 Mini Cherry Brown, Epomaker Anne Pro 2 60% Cherry Brown and a bunch of free Dell/Asus/Acer and HP keyboards) and I am still not fully happy with any of them. Personally I like the Durgod Targus but its non wireless and no back-lighting so makes it a bit more difficult to use at night. Would you have any recommendations for something similarly well built with back-lighting and wireless options TKL ideally without breaking the bank?
Hello Switch and Click ! I was searching around on the internet and couldn't find any reviews on keychron switches that I was thinking about getting with the c1 due to the gateron version being sold out and wanted to know if the switches were any good. I thought that this would be a cool video idea so thats why I'm commenting! anyways have a great day
This channel deserves way more subscribers.🤩
Thanks for the video!
Can you review the Royal Kludge RK G68?
I'm glad I found this channel :D
So I’ve seen some of your videos of making your own mechanical keyboards. I know that 60% is the standard for customs but I was wondering if you have any suggestions for a starter 10 keyless kit. Thank you!
This channel is so underrated
Congrats for 100k subs
That keyboard sounds so beautiful, i wish i can afford something like it one day
Congrats for 100k
You are almost at 100k!
would love to see you make videos about keyboard with non mx style switches
I really do hope that it comes with a variable weighting option...
Cool vid as always... hated the sound of the final product...
Heyy love your videos!! Btw which model was the corsair one??
K55
Hard to beat the classic black on white combos. I picked up both sets of blanks for my HHKB for the same reason, endless fun. Also obligatory RUBREH DOMEH.
Any plan to review Redragon K599 Deimos soon? For just a little increase in price from the K552 Kumara, there's quite a lot more, and no branding. 😄
For years I had SteelSeries Apex 100 Membrane Keyboard. At the time it cost me $50 and it was super dope. After buying my first mechanical for home I still used that one at work.
Of course, I had to leave both of them in the evacuation and now I sit on the keyboard of my work laptop, and CZcams recommends me these keyboard videos to hurt me more, I guess.
The sound reminded me of COD running through mud while it’s raining
Congrats on 100k
It just SOUNDS so good and THOCKY!!
love the sound of it
Any chance you could look at modding the vicsting 96% keyboard? I bought it and was wondering what kind of upgrades would be good for it.
I’ve always liked the tactility of membrane keyboards but the quality of mechanicals
keep up the good work :D
Thank you!
I love my topre keyboard with upgraded domes.
Stepping through snow with this board
Sounds really good.
Have you ever done a review on the hp gaming keyboard k500f? Its a pretty good membrane keyboard
It sounds perfect!
Hey! Been watching you for a while, please tell recommend a red switch linear mechanical keyboard that is good in stock version under 80$. 1. I am stuck between akko 3068 / rk84 or rk61/ hyperx alloy fps pro. I dont really need the bluetooth. 2. And if so, is there any difference between the feelings of rk61 and rk84 in terms of quality of the caps/switches?
what keycaps were those? A possible link please if you can, thank you!
I think it's a mistake to call this a membrane. It's an electro-capacitive rubber dome keyboard over a PCB. Whereas the membrane on a membrane keyboard is the sensing matrix, with the separate actuating conductor on the rubber domes. But I guess that's kinda just technical semantics. _Edit: looks like someone already pointed this out, sorry_
I love the way the way NiZ switches sound. I definitely prefer it over the sound of Topre switches and that, combined with how relatively inexpensive NiZ keyboards are, I would take it over a Topre any day. Especially if I see myself in an office environment any time soon.
Can't wait for more custom 3rd party cases and PCBs for NiZ. I think the platform has a lot of potential.
I think the first membrane keyboard you used was the Corsair k55 RGB because the macro keys on the left side and I have that keyboard
Hello, I posted a comment on the 23$ keyboard video. Idk if you are going to see that comment, so I copied and pasted it here. (I have that same keyboard as the 23$ one. I am looking to upgraded it as well, but I am looking to put Gateron yellows in it. I don't know if they are compatible with this pcb, so I am wondering if you do. Also, what would be a good lube for the yellows, and should I get new stabilizers? If so do you have any budget recommendations?
I love ur videos, but could u consider changing ur deskmat cuz it is a bit overwelming
Hi just wondering if I should buy the Anne pro 2 or the keychron k6. They are around the same price but don't know which one is better.
Your channel is growing so much. Keep up the great work Betty!
Thank you! You too!
Is it PBT white on black or GMK because i only see GMK. Also where did you find the windows key for the keycaps?
