To the ppl losing their chill in the comments… "gold standard" in this context means the benchmark by which others are compared.

Like them or not, as a staple feature of high quality keyboards for DECADES, we use Cherry MX switches as a point of reference to describe products that are both better and worse.
I agree we could have worded it better, but the pitchforks were an overkill solution :p
TIL that different types of mechanical keyboards are a thing lol
The White mouse at 6:32 is good for gaming? Which Brand?
Hmmm what does a pinned comment look like
Logitech's membrane G15 forever!
PLEASE do a switch review!
Maximum simultaneous keypresses? All USB keyboards stink at that compared to PS/2

DAMN STRAIGHT
This is weird to say but shouldn't Linus himself be a participant himself. That would have been totally fun though
I got as far as "mechanical keyboard" then left, not interested 😛
where is the damn keyboard?
When you say i have a mechanical keyboard and Everyone in ts says its to loud…
It has since gone WAY up in price, but when I bought my Gigabyte K-83 (with 10-key!) with Cherry MX Blues last year, it was $39.99 brand new from Amazon.
people may not be able to tell from feel however, performance and reliability is a different story.
So basically a 50$ aliexpress outsourced keyboard with g.skill logo on it. Got it.
Just love these ltt mech. keyboard videos
And here i am rocking alps switches from the 90's… yep this video is not targeted to me..
Also proves some other points that audiophiles have been struggling with for years where if you get a bunch of people that don't know any better to run your test then your results will be inconclusive.
Same thing as wine testing. its all down to taste and your all wrong.
Imo, cherry housings are good, but all their stems are terrible. It's only meeting a gold standard because they're the most mass produced and isn't compared to almost any other switch. Clone switches shouldn't even be mentioned in my opinion
Maybe outemu to
Is that a pewdiepie reference 😂
Loving these anonymous test vids. Thanks.
Imagine thinking that making a switch is super hard tech.
Please, we need an Realforce 87u review!
Try rakk gears keyboards and mice
Id stick with ajazz ak33
Yeah now that $49.99 is up to $79.99
“A deep dive into keyboard preferences ft the LTT Staff” next episode 🤞🏻

Kailhs know much better than before, many big companies use them.
I will not buy a keyboard without a numpad
Kailh Box Jade/Navy for me. Cherry while still decent is not the king any more. The times when an automatic assumption that's not cherry is worse have passed. Sure there are worse but there's plenty better ones. And using terminology gold standard as a benchmarking reference would be as to compare CPU coolers and take stock cooler as a gold standard. Just because it's the thing that they are measured against does not mean what gold standard implies.
LOL, I still use an old Compaq keyboard that has the windows 3.1 logo on it, its built like a tank and has fell off my bed literally 1000's of times over the years and hasn't fell apart or broken like a cheap modern keyboard….old shit for the win!, i also don't like the way some of the "switch" keyboards feel or sound, I personally feel their marketed toward the same type of young people that are likely to put the loudest and most obnoxious ear splitting exhaust on their Honda Civic that they can find.
I just learned, i can adjust the brightness of my Trust GXT 865 keyboard
Cherry’s are super scratchy lmao
Tecware Phantom. Highly underrated
That keyboard is rubbish right out of the box. Wait even in the box. Im left handed and a numpad and anti ghost and rollover on every key on the right side is mandatory. So nope not a keyboard thats even usable.
I just bought HyperX Alloy FPS Pro. It almost the same! but it has media control via function key.
No cherry mx switches? The Gold Standard?
This aint 2015
it seems cheap to base quality on keyboards on liniar MXred switches, which also are the simplest switch, therefor the cheapest
