BadSeedTech: Recent Episodes
Brian Phillips
Straight forward reviews and commentary about PC gaming peripherals, audio hardware, and custom keyboards. Everything you need to know, and nothing you don't.
I got the opportunity to sit down with Calder Limmen, Co-founder and CEO of Wooting while I was in Taipei recently for Computex. This is nearly 2 hours uncut with the mind behind one of the most impactful PC gaming peripherals of the past few years.
Looking at a range of IEMs today from $50-$1000 for music listening, casual gaming, and competitive gaming use cases. If you're on a budget or a beginner to the IEM space, this is a great place to start.

The Class80 from MM Studio is a huge, heavy piece of retro goodness. Dripped in full beige, it sports a buzzer, a solenoid, and an aesthetic that just won't quit. The group buy is open now, but if that's not your jam, we'll also look at the Vortex KBt RE: 68 that gives you the same vibes for a lot less money AND wait time.

Deep dive into the outstanding Wooting 60HE keyboard. This has a lot of things going on I've never seen in a keyboard and solves a lot of the issues people have with prior analog keyboards. There are plenty of features here that work in all games, but if you play Valorant or Fortnite especially, this is worth a look.

Razer has made some significant shape changes to the classic Deathadder for the first time in 16 years with the Deathadder v3 Pro. Does the new shape make the cut? Is it still even a Deathadder?

Checking out the new compact 75% keyboard from Mode Designs - the Sonnet. With a starting price more in line with the SIXTYFIVE than the EIGHTY, it has solid components, great design, and a wide variety of price points based on materials.

Mountain Keyboards has just unveiled the Everest 60. It's a slim-downed version of the Everest Max that we looked at previously. This allows you to move the numpad to the left or right side of the board or remove it entirely. It's got a host of improvements that all add up to one of the best pre-built 60% solutions on the market right now.

Check out the review of the Space65 III (r3) from Graystudio. They always make some amazing boards and this one is no exception.

Checking out the insanely under-priced QK65 from Qwertykeys, a new sister company of Owlab. Focusing on fundamentals, this board is my new recommendation for someone wanting to get into the custom space, provided you're ok with a basic 65% layout. If you're considering Mode SixtyFive, Bakeneko65, or Zoom65 - this is well worth a look.

Checking out 4 different models from Iqunix today - the A80 Explorer, L80 Formula, L80 Cosmic Traveler with some updated Cherry Stabs, as well as the newest OG80 Wormhole with CoStar and a custom 1 of 1 model with Cherry Stabilizers. These represent great boards for someone looking for a mechanical keyboard, but not necessarily wanting a new hobby. We'll also talk about how easy they are to mod and whether the tape mod is worth it.

Checking out the impressive Mammoth75. This is an early model and subject to some frustration during the build process, but the end result is a gorgeous, flexy, beast of a custom 75% worthy of the name MAMMOTH. Sound tests for both configurations and with/without the PE Sheet are included.

Finally got to review a Bakeneko from CannonKeys but surprisingly, its a 65%. Decided to put the sound test up against a Bak60 as well as a Singa Unikorn just to see how close they landed. Also did a ton of sound tests with various configs with both the silicon and the zinc weight. It packs a big punch for the price point.

Check out the review of the new Zoom65 Olivia from Meletrix. This is a new entry level sub brand of Wuque Studio and the Zoom65 represents what a company can do when they attempt an entry level complete kit that definitely doesn't look entry level at first glance.

So Keychron is back with the Q2. And they've added a knob, and made some tweaks. All good stuff. Never get tired of brands listening to feedback and implementing it - in this case, VERY quickly. The world of 65% boards is definitely heating up. See if the Q2 is right for you.

Checking out the upcoming TKL releases from Novelkeys. We've got the NK87 Aluminum Edition and the full polycarb NK87 Entry Edition at a shockingly low price point. PCB Mount stabilizers, south facing hotswap, with per key RGB. Not a lot of flexibility in the layout, but it executes well at an accessible price point.

Its confusing sometimes to watch reviews of SUPER expensive headphones and then wonder if that's what you actually need for gaming. I definitely have my opinions, but I wondered what headphones other actual audiophiles use and recommend for gaming.

The Ducky One 2 Mini is probably THE most popular pre-built keyboard of the past few years and now they're back with the revision we've been waiting for with the One 3 Series. We have the SF or 65% version in house today and we're going to walk through all the changes and see if its the right board for you. We'll also answer Ducky One 3 Sf or Streak 65 LP?
After looking at the very early prototype of this board back in May, we see almost a complete design overhaul on the Nova65 from Odin Gaming. Is this the 65% board you've been waiting for?
Checking out the new 2021 refresh of last year's Streak65 - the Streak65 LP. Now with PBT keycaps, a coiled cable, noise dampening, and all the same things to love about the prior version, the Streak65 LP is basically a perfect 65% low-profile portable gaming keyboard.
OK...I'll admit it. I didn't give you guys a very good conclusion when it came to the first review on the Keychron Q1. Most people just wanted to know which they should pick between it and the GMMK Pro and the ending left a lot of you feeling cold. So I reached out to Alexotos and got his pro tips on how to do some cheap, easy , and SUPER effective mods to the Q1 and it really helps solve the dilemma - Keychron Q1 or Glorious GMMK Pro.
Checking out the Elon Musk Cybertruck inspired keyboard from Angry Miao - the Cyberboard R3. It packs a lot of features but a big price tag that may leave you feeling a shorted in a couple important areas.
Checking out the new DT 700 PRO X and DT 900 PRO X from Beyerdynamic. Priced at $299, they make up an interesting new tier in the lineup. We'll talk about choosing between the 700 and 900 as well comparison versus the 770, 880, 990, Tygr 300 R, and DT 1990 Pro to help you decide which is the right move.
I had high hopes when I heard that 100 Thieves was releasing a keyboard. This one from Higround is not it - not yet anyway. But it does give me hope for future releases now that 100T is involved with hardware.
Finally checking out the MODE SIXTYFIVE. This build has the titanium top piece, the mirror chrome bottom, and a half plate FR4. Its one of my favorite builds I've used so far AND its only a 3 month presale to get your hands on one.
