 So today we're here at Hardware Sugar and we're going to take a look at possibly one of the best na work from home, upgrades na yung can get. And this is yung budget na TKL from Havid. We review natin siya, we're going to be daily driving it and titing na natin kung anong benefits ng makukuhuha mo sa pag-switch to mechanical keyboards. And alam mo yung isa pa na makukuhuha ng maralong benefits yung ating sponsor CDKoffers.com Hindi nilig anong PC, mga 90 kailaw na Windows. Pero saan kung puan ng legit Windows?

Check out CDKoffers.com So for transparency lang, this was sent to us for free by Havid specifically for review. Pero siyempre, being hardware sugar and being trustworthy na YouTube content creators na nakilala nyo, we're going to be really honest and we're not obliged to say only the good things about this, although there's a lot of good things about this. Also yung review format natin, would be kakailanganan natin ng time machine and we'd have to go back 1.5 months sa past. And kilingan natin yung first reactions ko, first impressions, sa first time napag bukas ko dito sa keyboard na yung. So here we go. First thing na I noticed right out of the box was yung kanyang weight. It feels surprisingly heavy. It feels solid. Another thing is yung kanyang deck flex. Virtually wala siyang deck flex. That means na solid yung build quality nya. Considering na plastic yung kanyang outer housing. So let's go with typing. Okay first impressions, it's very smooth. Surprisingly hindi nakakainis yung tunog niya. So right out of the box it's very smooth. The keycaps are smooth also. Sabi nila PBT daw ito and like they feel okay naman. Waitaw. May wala ka. Dima talaga tayo dapat mag-expect na lubto out of the box. Since this is a budget mechanical keyboard talaga. The alphas are really smooth. They sound nice. Yung long keys, the ones that require stabs, medyo kina niya kak. Medyo maingay siya in ratli. Yung sakin din medyo ratli. But not as loud as. Like I'm barely hitting it. Pero as in sobrang loud niya. But yung niya between this and my office keyboard. Like wala. First impressions over all it's very like it's surprising. It's surprisingly solid, surprisingly smooth. I can't get over with this sa smoothness no kanyang keys. Keycaps are okay. Oh and before we go, pwede natin tingnan yung switches niya. So okay. So it's red. I don't know kung anong brand do. I haven't looked at the specs. Pero yung spec kasi ng Cherry MX is that it's linear and this is linear. Wala nang taktayad bang whatsoever. 45 grams yung actuation course. But etong specific na red na do. Hindi ko along kung ano. I'm 100% sure na yung day siya 45 grams. Kasi this is much heavier than this. Etong gateron browns which is supposedly is 55 grams actuation force. Etong mas mambigat. So I'm thinking like they preserved yung linearity no reds. Pero hindi nila kinopya yung actuation force which is dapat 45. So yun I've prerecorded this na and we're going to go back in one and a half months where I'm going to be using it. So yung review ko sa kanya would be I'll be using this alongside my GMMK. Tatapos ilalabas ko din yung aking office keyboard yung KV120 which is a membrane like basic super basic na keyboard. Just to compare yung performance nila and like the experience. Let's fast forward using our editor's video magic into one and a half months in the future. Let's go. Okay so one and a half months later eto na tayo and din daily drive ko na siya for one and a half months nya. Okay so specs mo na tawad dito would be the Havid KV487L. It's a mechanical 89 key keyboard. It's got ginsham red switches, PBK keycaps, and the basic layers for multimedia piece. It also has a braided cable but not detachable. No RGB and the PCB is not hatswalkable. What's special about this though is the presence of the numpad while still retaining the TKL form. Mamaya makikita natin like yung mubakit yung yung very noteworthy niya na feature. Again, I daily drove the Havid keyboard alongside my GMMK1 and a membrane keyboard para mako-pair mo sila. I would pull with it both scripts and ideas. Of course, I gain pala. So eto na yung review. So let's start with the pros and marami-marami pros actually. Start tayo sa build quality. Although plastic, the case in the board itself is super solid and even has some weight to it. Work flex is basically non-existent and it doesn't feel cheap and flimsy. I'd be confident to lock in this around on my backpack even without nang saksulin yung ginaw ako para makapung tao dito. Nakanasam bag lang talaga siya. So for solid and confident ako nang di siya mas sila. The board is a bit on the thick side so even without cropping up the legs, it's got quite a high typing angle which I generally found comfortable and passable. Okay na siya. The keycaps are PBT so they feel really nice and premium to the touch. Di ko yung actually inexpect yun. They don't have that powdery unpleasant texture that some budget keycaps have and I do love the off-white and muted orange combination with the black case. So it's very, you know, it's striking and I catch him without being overpailing in OA. Please do have the cherry style switches so replacing and customizing this kung ba may baka pang gusto na haul away yun sa preferred na keycaps mo madali lang kasi super popular ng cherry style switches. So for the most important spec na typing feel, the switches are surprisingly really smooth for a budget keyboard and it di ko actually nasahan yun. That's enough to warrant a recommendation from me especially kung galing ang asa mga membrane keyboard. They're satisfying to type with and while not completely silent, they do sound pleasant enough that your coworkers or in many cases or housemates wouldn't mind. They're called reds but they don't feel like what one would expect from a cherry red copy. They're linear and smooth and accurate parang reds talaga but they require significantly more force to actuate even more so than my gateron rounds. Cherry reds usually have around 45 grams of actuation force while these I'd estimate have around 60. Now if you don't have any experience with reds or MKBs in general, this wouldn't bother you. It's still smooth and watery and miles better than any membrane keyboard. Okay so do na tayo sa TKL kanina. Again the most noteworthy feature this thing has is the inclusion of a numpad. TKL stands for 10 keyless, 10 being the number pad so no numpad and that's usually what this weights people from trying out MKBs. And have it seems to have found a clever way of addressing this by replacing part of the navigation keys then insert, hold, delete, et cetera with the numpad. That comes really handy especially for office professionals who work with figures, spreadsheets or if you're really just used to having the numpad. Now for the bad and I say bad but I do understand that this is a budget keyboard and this is coming from an MKB enthusiast. And siyempre kaya na maging honest talaga tayo and ayun na, hindi naman siya like bad na parang deal breaker so here we go. Okay number one, this would have been amazing with a detachable keyboard. I know expert in manufacturing economics or business but would it have hiked the prices too high by including that? An extra 400 pesos may be on top of the current price at most. This may seem ka artehan and while the included cable is braided and solid and for some reason these brakes are going to need soldering skills to repair it or have it looked at by someone who does instead of just getting another usb cable. So alam yung mat maliit na pagay lang ayun siguro mas making mainget ka na lang ang doon sa paghapit sa kanya and at the same time it's also solid naman so okay lang siya. My number two, the numlock and cops lock indicators are almost invisible. Instead of a normal that this keyboard lights up the cops lock e and the whole numpad while in respective states. While visible with the numlock it's really difficult to see at a glance whether you're on cops lock or not due to the very faint LED plus the solid keycap. An RGB keycap would have been better para makikalalo na nakuon nga yung cops lock kasi ngayon ano siyang as in solid siya hindi siya see through. Okay so number three is personal so you can actually disregard this. I often use the navigation keys that the numpad replaces here and this is a word code. I code for hardware sugar and sometimes I write copy for posts and youtube video scripts and I miss those keys a lot when using the habit keyboard. Although not gone completely I still found paging around the shift key plus yung corresponding and serve or whatever um medyo cumbersome pa rin siya. So for people na kailangan talaga yung navigation keys to sit past dito, mayan lang siyang learning curve. So just be aware of that. Okay number four while this wouldn't apply to those with no mechanical keyboard experience, in essence yung market na mint pala dito sa keyboard na dito. The switches are fairly inconsistent. Some keys are harder to press than the others while some are so like for example the left shift key that I wasn't sure if they're engaged or not especially in gaming. The long keys like the space bar, the ships also rattle and are a lot noisier than the alpha keys. Again this is me an elitist na mechanical keyboards na and in everything na I said it's still such a better experience than membrane keyboards or like basic na keyboards na. So an dami mo sinabi na bad in parang dung experience ko. Pero it's still I still recommend it especially dung sumang mga first timers yung first na foreing nyo sa mechanical keyboards or kasagustyo na lang na mas magandang experience of what time. Okay so in conclusion, the habit keyboard is a lot of keyboard for its asking friends and its intended buyers. If you've been watching our videos bukong bibig ko puro mechanical keyboards kasi na sir Anton and sir Raki na ano ko, midin na dungun nyo ko. Moving from a membrane keyboard to an MPV was such a game changer for me and my fingers and I haven't looked back since. And now I do understand that most people aren't as enthusiastic and PTSD when it comes to peripherals. Some of us just want to have something that would make our daily eight to five grind a little bit bearable and of course you won't be able to justify spending five thousand just for a keyboard and I think have it just has it all. Mora siya, meron siyang compromise for yung mga professionals na hindi naman sa naidun sa ETL. So yun, it's cheap at two thousand one hundred fifty. It's smooth, it's solid, it's got all the features you'd need if you're just starting out on MPVs and the addition of the numpad eliminates the need to relearn and adjust your typing habits. This keyboard quite frankly is a great working man's gateway keyboard into the world of mechanical keyboards. We highly recommend this for folks looking to significantly upgrade their current setup especially for those working at home at day and gaming later at night.
