Who would WANT a Keyboard like this? – Chassepot C1000 Review
Many gamers prefer to use 10 keyless keyboards because Lopping off the numpad gives you a few more inches of desk real estate for your mouse hand along with improved ergonomics The only problem is that well, sometimes you’ve really do miss those buttons Fortunately the good people at Chassepot have come up with a sensible solution Why not take all those keys over there and move them over there? How did nobody think of this before? So here it is the Chassepot C1000 A beautiful 114 key keyboard with an innovative design that I love and hate Let’s talk about why after this message from our sponsor Madrinas, Madrinas coffee blends specialty cold brew coffees in to 15 ounces, grab-and-go cans for your convenience Check them out and use offer code, Linus, to save 40% today Closed Caption is provided by: FireStarz, and other community contributors Chassepot, a company apparently named by someone who’s really into 19th-century French rifles says the C1000 design was guided by three principles. respecting users input habits, reducing finger travel and twisting, and increasing efficiency with shortcut keys. At least that’s what I think this sentence is trying to say but there are some problems here, like that the first two principles happen To be in direct conflict with one another. for example One of the most dramatic breaks from convention on this layout aside from having the numpad, function keys and most of the navigation keys up top here is the decision to move the arrow keys to the left side of the board. Now they claimed that they did this for gamers But in reality, I think they just had nowhere else to put them, not only do these buttons offer no clear advantage over WASD Which happened to also be surrounded by useful keys for your pinky and your thumb to strike but their placement here really screws up regular old typing. That’s the exact thing they said they weren’t going to do. because the up key is between the Z and Shift keys, which are normally neighbors It is super easy to accidentally move your cursor mid-sentence Especially if you’re coming from an ortho linear layout like the ergo docks, which you can check it over here and if you’re really unlucky You’ll also hit shift at the same time as up highlighting and then overwriting everything you just typed But wait There’s more, now that there’s three arrow keys on the bottom row some other buttons had to move Like the Windows key get the f**k out of here You’re going to the left of the tab now Now that one actually doesn’t bother me too much because at least it’s still accessible with the pinkie key which I already use to strike it but it is going to mess with any muscle memory that you’ve built up for windows hotkeys As will the slightly increased distance between left ctrl and the alphabet keys like Sacrebleu Chassepot Pourquoi m’envoies tu ça, si tu sais que le rarssourie ne fonctionnons pas There’s also some changes for the right hand, They actually shortened the spacebar and added a second backspace key next to it for some reason and then they went put delete over here too – instead of function, which is Super-sized and way the crap, ah, yes up here because of that. They had to move the tilde key putting it Where the question mark should be and again moving shift further away. Honestly Chassepot, I’m starting to feel like this was designed by someone who’s only ever read about keyboards in a book now in fairness, at least you can remap almost all of the keys in the fairly robust Chassepot Power Console software almost so these extra switches look like Remappable macro buttons that just happen to be set by default to show desktop file explorer and task manager Unfortunately, they along with the lock screen button And this nifty double zero key are the only buttons that you may not remap basically the exact buttons that you’d be most likely to want to remap are the ones that you Cannot remap. Now to be clear over time I could probably get used to all these little quirks and changes but they raise an important question. Why should I bother? Okay, so here’s why. The C1000 is a pretty sweet keyboard The UV coated key caps are made of ABS plastic with a laser etched legend that looks techy without being over-the-top. The round corners thin bezels and the integrated carry handle give it a sleek geek chic look and the steel top plate precludes any kind of dec flex and and gives the C1000 a comfortable weight of 1022 grams also comfortable by the way this hoody head to lttstore.com and get it on your skin ASAP. Now the board is available in two versions the C1000 go has a white LED backlight and blue Outemu switches while the pro is full RGB with your choice of blue red Or brown switches the instruction manual mentions that Cherry MX switches are available But apparently that’s only if you email support wait 20 business days And pay an extra $50 and that’s a pretty challenging thing because for 50 bucks This G.skill KM 360 10 keyless with Cherry MX switches is available. We actually have one in the mail right now So make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss that review Another advantage of the C1000 though is that it can be paired wirelessly over Bluetooth to up to 3 devices thanks to its 1860 milliamp hour lithium-ion battery which Chassepot claims will last for 90 hours with the backlight off or fifteen hours with RGB blasting full pony power the keyboard charges in three-and-a-half hours via USB type-c But if you’re not into that, you can also just operate it in Wired mode to take advantage of its USB pass-through So should you buy this keyboard then? Honestly I’m pretty disappointed by Chassepot’s decision to place some buttons in a way that prevents this product from being Completely plug and play with a minimal learning curve. They said that was one of their goals, but to me what it looks like Is they prioritized having a sleek-looking symmetrical keyboard layout so they like put all the keys on in a cool attractive way and then decided which keys did what I mean, why else would they do something like Separating the home and end keys and making one of them twice as big. Next there’s the price $200 actually, isn’t that steep for a wireless? Mechanical full RGB keyboard, especially from a young company that’s producing small runs, but it does sting a little that We’re not getting cherry switches at that price. I think even a drop of just Twenty dollars would make it a little less top-heavy And then at that point if you can get past its shortcomings it is a well made keyboard in a form factor That makes sense on the desk and it will definitely turn heads at your next LAN party #SHAMELESSPLUGFORLTX2020 Speaking of shameless. You could call the C Sonic prime ultra titanium the creme de la creme of power supplies It’s got ultra high efficiency with an 80 plus titanium rating It’s fully modular and it includes a PSU tester in the box Which is really useful if you’re trying to custom liquid cool. The prime ultra titanium also has fluid dynamic fan bearings hybrid fan control to control the overall fan noise and a 50,000 hour life Expectancy with a 12 year warranty so buy it today at the links in the video description. So thanks for watching guys. See ya

Chassepot: We will move the Numpad.

Chassepot: Eeeverythiiiing……

When you try to move the photo in your document but everything moves
Look mom, its a chopping board
Asus Claymore solves the problem of number pad, just cause is detachable.
rarssourie XD
Hearing Linus speak french makes me feel like I'm watching the wrong Linus.
Okay that french was a nighmare
French Rifle for Sale, fired little, never seen battle,has been dropped a few times.
It looks like they tried to arrange the home/end/pgup/pgdn keys like arrow keys… but with left and right swapped.
This is so shit 😂😂😂😂
Please forgive me Linus (and company) becuse I always skip your paid advertisements at the beginning of your kids.
Why is LTT being sponsored by coffee
Это Фиаско Братан
anyone notice the logo for the url shortcut to the ltt store is linus only in undies??
You get a thumbs up for mentioning it's the name of a french rifle!
I still like the idea but I agree the keyboard layer its too much different.
I dont get it. Why not just move that whole area to the left.
one earing ok, 4??? PULeeze
Lol wtf, I'm not relearning an entirely different keyboard
Linus: look at this keyboard we just got
Taran: I want 4, give them to me now strange editor noises
D100: Who are you?
C1000: I'm you but stronger.
(¡JOKE AHEAD!)
When the designers take a joke too far.
apart from remapping the keys, can I also change the keycaps accordingly?
Wonder what Chyrosran22 would think of this layout lmao
ill stick with my 75% vortex race mx silver, right side of mouse mx silver numpad and mx silver remapable keyboard above it
When French make keyboards….
Well uh… the lights are nice
When your Canadian and wanna flex on Americans by speaking French
"This damn cable on my Keyboard is always getting tangled up during my amazing flickshots I can't wait to get a wireless one" -No Gamer ever.
"By someone who's only ever read about
blankin a book" is one of my favorite insults, too! Now we're like twinsies!Lol nice try to place french here xD
need a little more training 😀
French is not my native language but for what i know, that french was horrible! 😀 tu dois pratiquer plus copain! 😀
Using Chassepot is a hilariously appropriate name. The rifle was innovative, kinda worked, but almost instantly obsolete and pretty clunky.
I love my numpad
Isn't [| ] between [Shift] and [Z]?

SHROUD: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My mouse is on the left side… macro keys on the left fuck me more lmfao
You could use it for ETS2 to give each key a function like setting the indicator etc
Nice looking piece of junk
You give them too much credit… It looks like a keyboard designed by someone who's neighbour's daughter had a "speak and spell"… and threw up on it… and ate the buttons and threw half of them up again, and pooped the others out, and the designers only experience of keyboards was the doctors notes, in illegible doctor handwriting… while drunk-driving…and with no fingers… or eyes… It's pukecrap is what I'm saying.
This video is hilarious!
For a brief moment, it was brilliant. The more I heard – especially the price – the more "nah" it got.
Actuallyyy, i live in belgium so we have an AZERTY keyboard as a standard. Soooo wasd gaming SUCKS!! They are so messed up! So the arrows to the left is nice
There's like 3 games I would love the arrow keys on the left for, otherwise that would mess me up so much
Price!?
0:43 Wow LUL
worst keyboard ever
Pour a monster on it and send it
Why cant PC gamers buy a keyboard of the the Magic Eagle by Havit.
"Sacrebleu Chassepot. Pourquoi m'envoies-tu ça si tu sais que les raccourcis ne fonctionnent pas ?" 😂
my eyes are bleeding
Impressive, I never knew I could actually get angry by a keyboard design. Congrats.
WHY do you have editors that cannot even properly spell check or find spelling errors. It is a constant in these videos.
Is the mute button even centered
2:56 sorry but I'm not Spanish, I don't understand
A mop wow player 😂
2:59 Quick question to people who live in B.C, do they teach French in B.C? Because Linus sounds like he has never uttered a word of French before. Just curious to see if that is not just something us weird Atlantic Canadians do.
When linus's random Macbeth quote makes you realize you have a Macbeth essay due tomorrow
This hurts me
NO
Omg the background is rainbow… I think linus is coming out!!
Get this on your skin
"who would want a keyboard like this?"
*looks at Taran
wtf is this
I love to hear linus speak french <3
but even if i'm french i didn't understand anything x)
Their issue is that they tried to reinvent the keyboard. Only one company has managed to reinvent a product well.
The best keyboard i see is HHKB
Nope….
Why not just put the numb pad on the left like?
Dumb kids who think it gives them some sort of magical advantage.
sacre bleu chassepot
*me at 1:40
Alright imma head out
That is kinda dope 😀
Am I really the only idiot that has the indicator on W, the middle finger on A and the other 3 fingers on other keys and none on D?
lmao just get the anne pro 2 and use the function key lol
my sidewinder x6 have the better solution
Hi guys, thanks for tuning into another video on Forgottenwea- I mean Linus Tech Tips….
Your editor is drooling looking at it 😂
When you look at it that way where’s the price it’s a kind day
It’s worth it because it has RGB.
this gives me a headache to watch as the keyboard looks upside down and backwards
who the fuck has the money to spend over $100 on a keyboard
7:36 – I heard "fifty-thousand hour life expectancy," and had to do the math… It didn't sound impressive until the math showed just over 5.7 years.
Actually a lot of keyboards already have a button between Z and left Shift
taran would enjoy this
IMA SHOOT CHASSEPOT WITH A CHASSEPOT
2:33 That sounds AWFUL, imagine trying to flash the scoreboard and you hit the Windows key. Even with windows lock it would still be really annoying.
"With the pinky key" linus is an android confirmed.
why is the caps lock key bigger than enter?
I never miss those buttons
Who always watches this but
Never buys anything😂😂
i speak french and what he said was awfull
that was a cool add
linus' "raccourci" is more like "rat-souris"
So in other words, it's a well built keyboard with the shittiest design ever.
More like Scheissepot
Ya he said the name right
I’d like to say a way to stop knocking your mouse on the keyboard is use your mouse on 16000dpi
