It's like Top Gear, but for keyboards, and without punching anyone in the face. Why I bet James May fancies keyboards as well.

You're just assuming nobody got punched in the face. I bet somebody did get punched in the face, but it has all been hushed up.

Also, you might not have seen it, but Chyros types "Falklands 1982" in one of the typing tests.

Chyros reviews are much more reputable than anything top gear has ever done. Top gear is top gunk.

Thank you very much for these videos. I enjoy listening to your voice :D. I really like how you've put in extra information, little anecdotes, history, comparisons with other keyboards.

Knowing several friends who are or were employed by Tesla Motors: yes.

Tesla cars are starting to show up here in Germany. It's so obvious German car manufacturers are avoiding alternatives to gasoline. Pathetic.

YouTube itself drives his traffic, I'm sure. Nothing stopping the incorrigible completists among us doing the embeds here for themselves. Nudge, etc. :roll:
