- Apple, we all know it's expensive, it's luxurious,
and they sell their own accessories,
in fact, everything is Apple.
So I have an iPad.
Yes, it's got a lot of shube stickers on it
and I don't have a keyboard that matches my iPad
or works with my iPad.
But today that all will change because I proudly-
Eh, am I proud, am I proud of this?
I proudly bought the Apple Magic Keyboard.
And let me tell you it was not cheap.
I hope it's good, I hope it's good.
I have everything right here.
It's so beautiful, even the plastic wrap is still on it.
I haven't removed the plastic.
Mm, wonderful Apple feels.
I need to decide how I will unbox this beautiful thing.
I have a knife, but you know, knives are boring.
There's gotta be better options.
So I saw a video and it had a thumbnail
and it was a dude that was unboxing something.
But the only thing that mattered was that he had an ax.
I want an ax.
So I went on to Etsy.
I did something that I am not quite proud of.
I spent a couple hundred dollars on,
on a few accessories that make me happy
or make you happy.
I hope it makes you happy.
And I bought an X.
I mean look at this thing.
But that, wasn't the only thing that I bought.
I also got one of these bad boys.
This thing's massive.
You know, sometimes we purchase things
that we're not proud of, sometimes.
But then I saw something else
and it was ultra cute.
A knife that goes on your wrist.
And I was like, "Whoa, that's cute."
And it's, it's really sharp as well.
So I bought a bunch of things to unbox things.
So now I'm really excited about unboxing things.
Okay, iPad, be prepared.
There we go.
Fancy.
Fancy, but kind of dangerous.
I'm gonna say extremely dangerous and put it on the floor.
So Apple, you know, their packaging is always so pristine.
It makes me feel like I'm fancy
and I don't own anything else Apple related,
except for this iPad for work.
Beautiful, oh recyclable.
Wow, that's it.
How does this work?
This seems like instructions.
So there's three dots here and I'm assuming
that is the part that connects to your iPad.
I'll have to sacrifice my, my shubes case.
No, not the shubes case.
So three dots, three dots here.
You just smash it on there.
What do you think?
Is that cool?
Does it close?
Whoa, this thing's heavy duty.
It feels much more heavier
than just the magnetic folio case.
It doesn't go any higher than this though,
this is as far as it tilts.
So just this angle here
and then close sort of nice, sort of nice.
Do I think this is worth what I paid for it?
Not yet, but I don't know yet.
So let's see how much this thing costs.
$300, I think with tax and shipping, it was 350.
So about 350.
I hope it sounds good.
(computer clicks)
I don't even know if you could hear that.
Could you hear that?
Though I don't hate it, it's very thin.
Very, very thin.
And you sort of just have to slam your fingers
onto it to really get it to be responsive.
It reminds me a lots of MacBooks and how they type,
except the keys don't go down as much as on a laptop.
The return is tiny, the delete is tiny, the right bracket,
whatever that key is, that's tiny.
So that's really weird.
And then of course, you've got your normal arrows.
You have a tiny Option here on the right.
A, a Windows key, uh, I'm not too well versed with Mac.
It's just a weird experience.
It feels like everything is cramped together.
Compared to a normal keyboard, it's much closer in there.
It takes a lot of learning.
Oh, it doesn't just automatically connect either.
Oh, I broke it.
Did I break it?
Okay, there we go.
Okay, you have to make sure the three holes actually align
or else it doesn't work.
The cool thing is this.
It's kinda like a touch pad thing.
I didn't even know that I was there.
Instead of using your fingers
you can be like, "Ooh, I have a mouse."
Ooh, and the mouse clicks.
That's the most impressive part.
Listen to this.
(mouse clicks)
You've got a stocky mouse click.
Wow, very nice.
These are probably their butterfly switches goes back on.
So it's an experience.
It's not like mind blowing, you know?
I, I thought it would be more life changing, almost.
The case is nice, it looks nice.
Ooh, there's the charging port.
Try and charge it.
Wait, you know how I have to charge it?
It didn't come with a cable.
So I have to provide my own charging cable.
If you plugged the USB-C in here,
it actually charges the iPad.
I thought that you had to charge the keyboard
but the keyboard just takes battery from the iPad.
So now you're charging the iPad.
Sorta cool.
Lube it.
I don't think it needs any lubing.
I'm not too impressed.
I don't know if this makes me feel like I wasted my money
or if it's like the best thing on the market.
Don't think I'd use it.
I feel like this next keyboard actually will be impressive.
This is the Nuphy Air60 also known as the Waifu keyboard.
Cause you get this Waifu.
It's also wireless.
It's mechanical.
Something that we really like here.
It has all these fancy things,
I'll have to take a look at it.
And it sort of looks like that.
It's ultra slim.
It doesn't need to be right on the keyboard,
like this thing.
This thing you can put anywhere you want,
you can have your iPad laying five feet away from you
and you'll be like, "Oh, I'm typing on my iPad."
This time I'm using baby knife.
I like baby knife.
Trash is out.
It's one of the sleeves where you have to pull it out.
This, oh wow, I didn't even see.
I have the brown switch, a space gray frame,
and it was manufactured last month.
So very new.
Nice sleeve.
I hope they give me a poster.
I need, I need a Waifu poster.
It's the most important thing.
It's got a nice like, sleek look to it.
Freshness guarantee.
Nice mint color.
The instruction guides are in plastic.
Don't think we need more plastic,
but well you do get Waifu stickers.
Very cute.
Does this fit on my iPad case?
Right here, perhaps?
I like it.
I think it's gonna fit right there.
I'm gonna go for it, please no one judge me.
I've always wanted more stickers for my iPad.
Ah, yes.
Wow, what could-
Feel this.
This is like exquisite.
This paper is fancier than like wedding invitations.
Hey, Waifu poster!
How would you feel, okay, if this was hung out on the,
on the door right there?
What do you think?
Would that'd be cool or no?
Maybe it's not cool.
She's got a lot, a lot of a thigh action going on.
And then we've got instructions on the back.
I'll keep this just in case.
Ooh, this color is (clicks tongue).
I'm liking it already.
There's also a peel here, I think.
You can see yourself.
There you go.
Ooh, that's shiny.
Wow.
Dang, this thing's pretty.
Wow, I'm digging it.
(computer clicks)
Ooh, you need to hear it
and then I can try to connect it to my iPad, but dang!
(computer clicks)
Does it stock though?
The only thing that's slightly off is maybe the space part
but I think some dielectric grease can fix that right up.
First tool of the day, a different kind of key cap puller
and switch puller combined, integrated,
different than what I'm used to seeing.
However, this key cap end, I think is a bit too big,
a little too wide.
It's pretty wide.
So it's super low profile.
Let me get the other board so we can compare.
This is, this is the Apple keyboard, it's so thin.
I don't think this mechanical keyboard can
ever compare to the Apple keyboard.
It's like not even fair,
but compared to a normal keyboard, it's really thin.
A lot of thinness going on, much less angle.
See I've got some extra switches, too.
Small, tiny low-profile blue.
These are Gateron Low-Profile Switches.
Very cute.
You get extra feet on the back.
That's nice.
That's a nice addition.
I don't think the feet will ever come off.
Here is the red linear
and the brown is what I have in the keyboard right now.
Of course, a 2.4 gigahertz dongle,
in case I want to use it wireless and put it inside my PC.
And what are these?
An alt and I'm assuming this would be a,
probably a Windows key in some way,
in case you want to use it for PC instead of Apple.
You get two nice orange rubbery, sort of silicon-y,
magnetic feet to go on the back.
Are they magnetic?
I don't, I don't think they're magnetic.
They're not, I lied, I lied.
It doesn't stay though.
I feel like it, it could fall really easily.
Yeah, I mean it just falls right out.
It's not magnetic, we're done!
Look at this tiny, at least it's braided.
You've got a braided USB-C to USB-C cable.
Very nice.
A right angle, USB-C to a USB-A cable.
You can't just use an iPad
and put it here cause then it'll just fall.
But they do sell a stand individually.
Ooh, it's called the NuFolio V2!
A cool logo.
I dig that.
I dig that, like the recyclable packaging.
Very nice.
The NuFolio.
The packaging is not nearly as nice as Apple,
but is recyclable.
Unbutton this, peel off the plastic.
All right, so how does this work?
Is this not magnetic either?
Are you kidding me?
What?
How can nothing be magnetic?
I'm feeling cheated.
You know, it looks nice, other than the no magnets part.
I've done it like this and then take your iPad,
put it down like that.
That's not bad.
Are you sure the keyboard is magnetic?
It might be the keyboard.
The Nuphy Air60 hasn't been officially released yet.
This is a prototype model, I'm assuming,
so there's no magnets.
And that hap-
If there were magnets, I don't think that would've happened.
Let's just pretend.
We're just gonna pretend in an ideal world,
your Nuphy keyboard goes here.
Your iPad goes there.
Nothing slides out.
Let's turn on wireless, FN-Q, Bluetooth on.
It's paired, it's ready to go.
It works perfectly, it sounds nice.
The only thing wrong with it,
and I don't think it's their fault,
is that there are no magnets.
Literally, that's it.
And there's no touch pad, but I think the touch pad
makes it really expensive.
Everything about this keyboard's experience was really good.
They also sent me their Coast PBT Keycaps,
but I believe that these are the exact same key caps
as whatever is on the keyboard right now.
So there's no need to change them.
But in case you do wanna see what they look like
and I'll pull it out.
These are PBT, cross-shape stems,
pretty flat, and dye sub legends.
So I'm gonna put the red in for one of these keys,
just so we see what it's like.
These, please just fit.
That was harder than I expected.
Put the blue in too so we can hear all three.
Wow, these switches are hard to put in.
Okay, I've got all three switch types in here.
Red, blue and brown.
Here's red, (computer clicks)
brown, (computer clicks)
and blue. (computer clicks)
- Red definitely sounds the best.
I don't mind the tactility in brown.
It's not terrible, still pretty decent.
I'm changing this back.
This isn't worth it.
Get outta here, we don't need you no more.
So while taking out my blue switch, I happen to, I guess,
take off the top housing.
I think it's stuck.
It's stuck.
It's completely stuck.
Maybe the lesson of the day is don't go changing
out your low-profile switches.
Oh, there we go.
Get out of there.
After long days of hard work,
I have removed the bottom housing
and I will never do that ever again.
I'm gonna put all the browns back in
and then not mess with it anymore.
It's beautiful the way it is.
Okay, let's go to the Air 60.
Right here, coming soon.
Two magnetic foots right there.
I knew it.
Okay, I cannot decide which one I like more.
I think I need an outside opinion.
And who else do I have than my cats?
Just kidding, I have Jake.
Jake will decide.
He will come in.
This one's definitely more intuitive.
This one takes a little bit more work.
We'll see which one he likes more.
This is Jake.
He's very tall.
- Hello.
Oh, so this is the Apple keyboard.
- Tell me how you feel about it.
- Like I kind of wish that you could like,
like move it more.
I don't know.
And like I'm tall, right?
So like I can't tilt it enough.
How much was this?
- 300
- Whoo!
That's so expensive. - I know.
- And you actually bought it for 300?
- Yeah, they shipped it overnight, so that's a plus.
- I feel like it's constructed nicely though.
Like I don't feel like you can break it.
- I mean, I wouldn't try to break it.
It's $300.
- How's it sound?
More tactile than I thought it would be.
- Yeah, it's not bad. - It's not bad.
Okay, I'm not super impressed by it.
I wish it would move more though.
- Got a mouse pad.
- Oh, a track pad.
- Yeah, you got a track pad and it's stocky.
- Oh it is.
- It's stocky.
- It's like the, that sound in Minecraft.
- When you hit trees, - When you hit trees, yeah.
- Chop, chop, chop, chop. - Yeah.
Okay, and then you have this keyboard too, right?
- So that was your experience number one.
Just pretend everything has magnets, it doesn't.
- Okay.
- But just pretend it's- - Why am I pretending?
- Because it doesn't because it's a prototype
and they forgot magnets.
(people laugh)
- Okay, so they, they just forgot.
So this one's Bluetooth, right?
- This one's Bluetooth.
- But the other one, is it Bluetooth?
- No, it just connects.
- Oh, that's kind of cool.
Just like the three dots right here.
So this one only has one angle, right?
- No, you can slide it back.
(people laugh)
- I think the magnets would probably help a lot.
- It doesn't have magnets.
- Well, you said it's supposed to have magnets.
- It's supposed to.
- With this one, you just like pop it on
and then like, you're good to go.
But with this one you have to like connect it.
How much is like this one?
- This one's 110 for the keyboard by itself,
plus $20 for the case.
- So 130 for this whole get up.
And then this one's like three times the price.
What's the profile on this?
- It's flat.
What do you mean the profile?
- Yeah, the key caps are flat,
but they're like rounded on the edges.
Typing, it's not horrible.
I don't mean to be that guy, but it's a little hollow.
It's not bad though.
Oh, that stabilizer's not good though.
Okay, it's not, it's not bad, it's not bad.
- So what do you think?
- I feel like without magnets, it's like almost not fair.
- I know it's almost unbearable.
- It's not bad.
(people laugh)
- If there were magnets.
- Okay, well, if there was magnets,
I feel like it wouldn't be too bad.
There you go, all right, have fun.
- Okay, they failed us.
In other words, if we had magnets, I'd pick the Nuphy.
All in all I give the Apple Magic Keyboard,
a, maybe a six outta 10.
Could be better.
For the price, I think they could have done better
and they should have you, you know?
It's expensive.
Nuphy, I would've loved it if I had magnets.
Now they've gotten my opinion, Jake's opinion.
It's time for you to make a decision.
70% of people voting for the Nuphy Air60.
I'm assuming that they say that if it had magnets
but it could also be a pricing.
It's very, it's, it's affordable.
It's cheaper.
They give you this, stickers you can put everywhere.
If you get the Air60,
you even get the NuFolio V2 included at no additional cost.
There's a lot of wins here, except magnets.
I will consider this poster for long term use.
