Description

Here are the best keyboards and mouse for Photoshop. In this video, you'll learn how proper keyboards and mouse can significantly improve your workflow and productivity.

People tend to use the free keyboard and mouse that their computer came with. But those are usually not the best. For a software like Photoshop where you need precise mouse movements, a high-quality mouse is a must-have – especially if you’re working on a high-res display. Photoshop also has a lot of tools and commands so a keyboard with extra macro keys will improve your productivity significantly.

Now just to be clear, this video isn’t about buying peripherals that will make you look like a professional. The stuff I’m going to recommend to you is based on how practical they are – not how professional they look. Most of the products are designed for gamers. But don’t be fooled into thinking that gaming products aren’t good enough for professional work. Manufactures market their products for gamers simply because there are way more gamers than photographers and digital artists. Gaming keyboards and mouse are some of the best performing and well-built products you can buy and they make using Photoshop so much better. So don’t worry if the products make you look like a gamer, it’s all about being more productive.

much better so don't worry if the

0:01:12.840,0:01:18.960
products make you look like a gamer it's

0:01:14.520,0:01:20.430
all about being more productive let's

0:01:18.960,0:01:22.530
start off by talking about your keyboard

0:01:20.430,0:01:24.930
a good keyboard is a 100-percent

0:01:22.530,0:01:26.520
necessary for photoshop most of the

0:01:24.930,0:01:28.470
features are for your own comfort and

0:01:26.520,0:01:30.210
personal preference but there are some

0:01:28.470,0:01:33.540
practical features that make them a good

0:01:30.210,0:01:35.340
investment one of the biggest features

0:01:33.540,0:01:37.409
that might make you more money or macro

0:01:35.340,0:01:38.790
keys these are extra keys on your

0:01:37.409,0:01:41.340
keyboard that you can program to any

0:01:38.790,0:01:44.640
hotkey keystroke combinations and more

0:01:41.340,0:01:46.380
it's incredibly useful your productivity

0:01:44.640,0:01:48.659
will improve so much once you start

0:01:46.380,0:01:50.640
using it if you want to add a hotkey in

0:01:48.659,0:01:53.040
Photoshop you can do it by going to edit

0:01:50.640,0:01:54.570
keyboard shortcuts but you're going to

0:01:53.040,0:01:56.850
have a tough time finding a hockey

0:01:54.570,0:01:59.729
that's not already taken a better

0:01:56.850,0:02:01.619
solution is to use macros for example i

0:01:59.729,0:02:04.439
have a macro for converting a layer to a

0:02:01.619,0:02:07.360
smart object what does macro does is a

0:02:04.439,0:02:09.789
process the combinations all L as

0:02:07.360,0:02:12.670
s which basically loads a command from

0:02:09.789,0:02:15.160
the menu on max is more complicated but

0:02:12.670,0:02:16.960
still possible I don't use max anymore

0:02:15.160,0:02:18.760
but from what I remember you had to

0:02:16.960,0:02:20.290
press something like command f2 and then

0:02:18.760,0:02:22.630
use the arrow keys on keyboard to

0:02:20.290,0:02:24.730
navigate around new menus it sounds like

0:02:22.630,0:02:26.410
a lot of keystrokes but you can record

0:02:24.730,0:02:28.030
your macros with no delays and I'll

0:02:26.410,0:02:31.150
place so fast that it feels like you're

0:02:28.030,0:02:33.130
pressing a hotkey I use macros all the

0:02:31.150,0:02:34.540
time and have a set so that the macro

0:02:33.130,0:02:36.910
keys will change depending on which

0:02:34.540,0:02:39.070
software i'm currently using time is

0:02:36.910,0:02:41.380
money if you're not using macros yet I

0:02:39.070,0:02:43.360
highly recommend you try it out once

0:02:41.380,0:02:44.920
again get a habit of using it and you

0:02:43.360,0:02:48.100
build your own profiles you'll get

0:02:44.920,0:02:49.600
things done so much faster once you

0:02:48.100,0:02:51.580
start using macros you're going to run

0:02:49.600,0:02:53.290
into another problem when you have so

0:02:51.580,0:02:55.870
many macro set it's hard to remember

0:02:53.290,0:02:58.180
which one does what and this is what RGB

0:02:55.870,0:02:59.770
lighting comes in look for keyboards

0:02:58.180,0:03:02.410
that let you set the colors for every

0:02:59.770,0:03:04.630
individual key like the corsair k90 5

0:03:02.410,0:03:06.820
keyboard some keyboards will say that

0:03:04.630,0:03:08.230
they have RGB lighting but they only let

0:03:06.820,0:03:10.510
you have one color for your entire

0:03:08.230,0:03:12.280
keyboard or for a couple stones in your

0:03:10.510,0:03:14.230
keyboard and not the individual keys

0:03:12.280,0:03:18.519
make sure that the keyboard you're

0:03:14.230,0:03:21.010
buying has perky RGB lighting i'm

0:03:18.519,0:03:23.560
currently using a coarser k95 keyboard

0:03:21.010,0:03:25.720
it has 18 macro keys and I use all of it

0:03:23.560,0:03:28.510
in fact it's not enough for me so I have

0:03:25.720,0:03:30.670
a second macro pad the Logitech g13 I

0:03:28.510,0:03:32.530
recommend us if you need more macro keys

0:03:30.670,0:03:34.590
or if you're using a laptop and don't

0:03:32.530,0:03:37.030
want to carry around a gigantic keyboard

0:03:34.590,0:03:38.950
there are other options like this crazy

0:03:37.030,0:03:40.930
cherry keyboard with more keys than you

0:03:38.950,0:03:42.370
ever need but I don't recommend this

0:03:40.930,0:03:44.440
because the software is quite outdated

0:03:42.370,0:03:46.780
and it's not as flexible as the other

0:03:44.440,0:03:48.640
software from other manufacturers so

0:03:46.780,0:03:52.420
which keyboard do I recommend here are

0:03:48.640,0:03:54.670
my top five recommendations the razer

0:03:52.420,0:03:56.799
orbweaver is a macro pad with 20 keys in

0:03:54.670,0:03:59.950
the main area and additional keys around

0:03:56.799,0:04:02.080
it it has perky RGB lighting great build

0:03:59.950,0:04:03.910
quality and software that lets you set

0:04:02.080,0:04:06.310
customizable macros with unlimited

0:04:03.910,0:04:08.350
profiles I recommend this if you are

0:04:06.310,0:04:09.750
using a laptop or if you need a lot

0:04:08.350,0:04:12.420
macro keys

0:04:09.750,0:04:15.480
if you don't need too perky RGB lighting

0:04:12.420,0:04:17.130
the Logitech g13 is a better choice its

0:04:15.480,0:04:19.829
price laura and has some of its own

0:04:17.130,0:04:22.200
unique benefits it gives you 22 macro

0:04:19.829,0:04:24.810
keys three dedicated profile switching

0:04:22.200,0:04:27.180
buttons and a dedicated on-the-fly macro

0:04:24.810,0:04:29.130
recording button it doesn't have perky

0:04:27.180,0:04:31.440
RGB lighting like the eraser or reverb

0:04:29.130,0:04:33.180
chroma but it does have a LCD which is

0:04:31.440,0:04:36.180
useful for displaying your CPU and RAM

0:04:33.180,0:04:38.790
usage if you use a lot of photoshop

0:04:36.180,0:04:40.430
actions the steelseries apex to 350 is a

0:04:38.790,0:04:43.470
great keyboard that's not too expensive

0:04:40.430,0:04:45.390
has plenty of macro keys but what I like

0:04:43.470,0:04:48.270
most about it rd macro keys above the

0:04:45.390,0:04:50.669
f12 12 buttons they're great for mapping

0:04:48.270,0:04:52.140
your favorite photoshop actions the cons

0:04:50.669,0:04:53.820
for this keyboard is that the keys

0:04:52.140,0:04:55.980
aren't mechanical and you can only set

0:04:53.820,0:04:59.700
the colors based on a couple zones not

0:04:55.980,0:05:01.260
the individual keys the logitech g9 10

0:04:59.700,0:05:04.020
is a great mechanical keyboard with

0:05:01.260,0:05:05.669
perky RGB lighting it has nine macro

0:05:04.020,0:05:07.440
keys which isn't many but they're

0:05:05.669,0:05:08.940
located on the left and top side which

0:05:07.440,0:05:11.490
is useful if you like to have two sets

0:05:08.940,0:05:13.140
of macro keys for example on the top

0:05:11.490,0:05:14.940
macro keys you can use that to store

0:05:13.140,0:05:17.310
your favorite photoshop actions and

0:05:14.940,0:05:19.080
besides you can use that for a common

0:05:17.310,0:05:23.250
photoshop commands like rearranging your

0:05:19.080,0:05:24.990
layers my top recommendation is also the

0:05:23.250,0:05:28.290
keyboard that i'm currently using the

0:05:24.990,0:05:30.990
corsair k90 5 RGB has a whopping 18

0:05:28.290,0:05:33.360
macro keys a dedicated on-the-fly macro

0:05:30.990,0:05:36.120
recording button three dedicated profile

0:05:33.360,0:05:38.700
switching buttons and perky RGB lighting

0:05:36.120,0:05:40.650
it also has a best build quality I've

0:05:38.700,0:05:43.380
ever seen in a keyboard and the software

0:05:40.650,0:05:44.880
is very very customizable anything you

0:05:43.380,0:05:47.040
can think of you can probably do any

0:05:44.880,0:05:48.900
corsair software it's not as user

0:05:47.040,0:05:50.850
friendly as other software like logitech

0:05:48.900,0:05:52.530
but if you can use photoshop then you'll

0:05:50.850,0:05:54.900
have no problems learning how to use the

0:05:52.530,0:05:56.820
coarser software the only downside is

0:05:54.900,0:05:58.770
that once in a while the macros will

0:05:56.820,0:06:00.600
just stop working but once you open

0:05:58.770,0:06:03.540
décor server software it'll fix itself

0:06:00.600,0:06:05.430
immediately as I so many software issues

0:06:03.540,0:06:06.300
this is the best keyboard you can get

0:06:05.430,0:06:07.649
for photoshop

0:06:06.300,0:06:09.699
[Music]

0:06:07.649,0:06:12.520
now let's talk about something more

0:06:09.699,0:06:14.529
important your mouse I see people doing

0:06:12.520,0:06:16.479
professional work that requires precise

0:06:14.529,0:06:18.459
movements and they're using a cheap most

0:06:16.479,0:06:21.009
usually the free most that comes with a

0:06:18.459,0:06:22.389
computer a good most makes a huge

0:06:21.009,0:06:26.529
difference especially if you're working

0:06:22.389,0:06:27.759
on a high res display have you ever

0:06:26.529,0:06:30.039
switched from neumos and found that

0:06:27.759,0:06:31.779
you're not used to it you can tweak the

0:06:30.039,0:06:34.149
DPI settings are you want but it never

0:06:31.779,0:06:36.669
feels like your old mouse it's probably

0:06:34.149,0:06:39.279
because of the sensor position on this

0:06:36.669,0:06:41.050
g700 most the sensor is located near the

0:06:39.279,0:06:43.209
front of the most while on this course

0:06:41.050,0:06:45.069
or similar MOS is located at the center

0:06:43.209,0:06:46.889
look at the bottom of your mouth and

0:06:45.069,0:06:48.969
notice where the sensor is positioned I

0:06:46.889,0:06:50.379
realized that this sensor precision

0:06:48.969,0:06:53.709
changes the way that I hold the most

0:06:50.379,0:06:54.819
Omri g700s my palm would be resting on

0:06:53.709,0:06:57.219
your mouth which makes it very

0:06:54.819,0:06:58.749
comfortable to use well on my cursor

0:06:57.219,0:07:00.729
most I tend to hold it like a claw

0:06:58.749,0:07:02.349
because I'm used to holding my mouth so

0:07:00.729,0:07:04.449
that your fingers are precision nearly

0:07:02.349,0:07:06.639
sensor if you want something that feels

0:07:04.449,0:07:08.379
like your old mouse try to find a most

0:07:06.639,0:07:11.830
worthy sense of position is roughly the

0:07:08.379,0:07:13.779
same as your old one the main reason for

0:07:11.830,0:07:16.930
getting a gaming mouse is the adjustable

0:07:13.779,0:07:18.819
DPI setting and improve polling rate DPI

0:07:16.930,0:07:20.529
stands for dots per inch and it's

0:07:18.819,0:07:23.050
basically a measurement of how sensitive

0:07:20.529,0:07:24.729
your Moses a higher DPI setting will

0:07:23.050,0:07:27.430
move your cursors more pixels per inch

0:07:24.729,0:07:29.319
the quick gist is that all gaming most

0:07:27.430,0:07:32.199
have more divided than you need even on

0:07:29.319,0:07:34.180
a 4k display normal non-gaming most

0:07:32.199,0:07:36.909
however will typically have a fixed deep

0:07:34.180,0:07:38.979
I between 800 and 1200 which is

0:07:36.909,0:07:40.719
sufficient for low res display but if

0:07:38.979,0:07:42.309
you have a 4k display you should really

0:07:40.719,0:07:45.909
be getting a gaming mouse with at least

0:07:42.309,0:07:48.249
2,000 DPI anything over 6,000 deep is

0:07:45.909,0:07:50.469
excessive there's no harm in getting a

0:07:48.249,0:07:51.369
most with a very high DPI setting but

0:07:50.469,0:07:53.110
just make sure that you're not

0:07:51.369,0:07:54.910
specifically spending money for that

0:07:53.110,0:07:57.970
extra feature

0:07:54.910,0:08:00.280
on my 40 inch 4k monitor I have my most

0:07:57.970,0:08:01.900
such a 2000 deep I which will move it

0:08:00.280,0:08:04.240
roughly halfway across the screen for

0:08:01.900,0:08:06.310
every one inch of movement if you're

0:08:04.240,0:08:07.810
used to using a low DPI it will take

0:08:06.310,0:08:09.730
some time to adapt your higher DPI

0:08:07.810,0:08:11.370
settings and this is where the d5

0:08:09.730,0:08:13.630
buttons on your mouse will come in handy

0:08:11.370,0:08:15.970
most gaming mouse will have buttons for

0:08:13.630,0:08:17.410
you to increase or decrease the DPI so

0:08:15.970,0:08:19.270
if you need more precision you can

0:08:17.410,0:08:21.490
simply press the button to lower GDP I

0:08:19.270,0:08:23.110
and make your most lower if you want

0:08:21.490,0:08:25.750
your most move faster you can press a

0:08:23.110,0:08:28.660
button to increase the DPI it's a very

0:08:25.750,0:08:30.240
handy feature finally polling rate is

0:08:28.660,0:08:32.349
the other reason to buy gaming mouse

0:08:30.240,0:08:34.390
polling rate is a measurement of how

0:08:32.349,0:08:36.340
often your most reports this position to

0:08:34.390,0:08:38.110
your computer a higher polling rate

0:08:36.340,0:08:40.090
means that your most is more responsive

0:08:38.110,0:08:42.880
normal non-gaming most will have a

0:08:40.090,0:08:44.490
polling rate of 125 hertz which means it

0:08:42.880,0:08:46.990
reports its position to your computer

0:08:44.490,0:08:49.420
125 times the second or every 8

0:08:46.990,0:08:51.940
milliseconds gaming most will typically

0:08:49.420,0:08:55.810
have higher polling rates such as 250

0:08:51.940,0:08:57.250
Hertz 500 Hertz and 1000 Hertz you will

0:08:55.810,0:08:59.470
notice the difference going from a non

0:08:57.250,0:09:02.740
gaming mouse with a polling rate of 125

0:08:59.470,0:09:04.840
hertz to a gaming most of 500 Hertz the

0:09:02.740,0:09:08.380
difference between 500 and 1,000 Hertz

0:09:04.840,0:09:09.850
however is not very noticeable just like

0:09:08.380,0:09:11.620
how we can buy a keyboard with macro

0:09:09.850,0:09:13.630
buttons you can buy a most of macro

0:09:11.620,0:09:16.120
buttons too it's a great way to improve

0:09:13.630,0:09:17.470
your productivity the benefit to macro

0:09:16.120,0:09:18.850
buttons on your most compared to a

0:09:17.470,0:09:21.040
keyboard is that you don't need to let

0:09:18.850,0:09:23.590
go of your mouth so often I have my

0:09:21.040,0:09:26.260
mouth set to switch tabs zoom in and out

0:09:23.590,0:09:29.050
close a document and scroll up and down

0:09:26.260,0:09:31.240
a panel in Photoshop for some reason to

0:09:29.050,0:09:33.730
page up down home and end keys don't

0:09:31.240,0:09:35.950
work in new panels using the scroll

0:09:33.730,0:09:37.720
wheel is very slow so what I did was I

0:09:35.950,0:09:43.240
mean a macro that lets me scroll faster

0:09:37.720,0:09:44.830
like this an even faster like this by

0:09:43.240,0:09:46.840
the way don't forget to use a mouse pad

0:09:44.830,0:09:48.730
I used to use the most on a bare surface

0:09:46.840,0:09:50.080
of my dad's but i've been using a most

0:09:48.730,0:09:52.300
high for a couple months now and it

0:09:50.080,0:09:54.160
makes a huge difference it's a lot

0:09:52.300,0:09:57.100
smoother and it also extends the life of

0:09:54.160,0:09:59.080
the most fee it's hard to get a gaming

0:09:57.100,0:10:00.760
mouse that isn't good any gaming mouse

0:09:59.080,0:10:02.800
will be a huge improvement over a non

0:10:00.760,0:10:05.440
gaming mouse but here are my top picks

0:10:02.800,0:10:07.510
the Corsair scimitar RGB is amosa i'm

0:10:05.440,0:10:09.820
currently using it's a wired mouse with

0:10:07.510,0:10:12.070
12 macro keys on site and too deep I

0:10:09.820,0:10:13.960
buttons on the top the position of the

0:10:12.070,0:10:16.330
side buttons can be adjusted and I have

0:10:13.960,0:10:17.980
mine set to very front it's a very

0:10:16.330,0:10:19.810
comfortable most and just like with the

0:10:17.980,0:10:22.210
corsair keyboard the build quality is

0:10:19.810,0:10:23.830
awesome the downside is that the scroll

0:10:22.210,0:10:26.980
wheel doesn't tilt so you can't scroll

0:10:23.830,0:10:29.080
horizontally if you like the courser

0:10:26.980,0:10:30.690
most but wish it was wireless the Razer

0:10:29.080,0:10:33.310
Naga epic chroma is a great alternative

0:10:30.690,0:10:35.050
the side buttons are fixed so you can

0:10:33.310,0:10:36.760
adjust the position of it but it does

0:10:35.050,0:10:38.830
have a toast for a wheel and it comes

0:10:36.760,0:10:41.260
with a charging base it's a great mouse

0:10:38.830,0:10:44.380
but is also quite pricey at 130 US

0:10:41.260,0:10:46.150
dollars the Logitech g600 is a wired

0:10:44.380,0:10:48.040
mouse and just like the previous two MOS

0:10:46.150,0:10:51.010
it has 12 macro buttons on the side and

0:10:48.040,0:10:52.690
two deep I buttons on the top but unlike

0:10:51.010,0:10:55.030
the two it has a third mouse button

0:10:52.690,0:10:56.560
which is very cool you can set the spine

0:10:55.030,0:10:58.480
inside if you hold on to it it will

0:10:56.560,0:11:00.700
lower the DPI and give you slower mouse

0:10:58.480,0:11:02.530
movements I personally haven't gotten

0:11:00.700,0:11:04.720
used to that and I find that using the

0:11:02.530,0:11:06.280
DPI abundance it's easier but if you can

0:11:04.720,0:11:07.780
get used to it or you have ways of

0:11:06.280,0:11:10.330
making use of the third mouse button

0:11:07.780,0:11:11.710
then this is a great choice the best

0:11:10.330,0:11:13.300
thing I like about this mouse is that

0:11:11.710,0:11:15.130
the side buttons have an angle to them

0:11:13.300,0:11:18.610
which makes it very easy to feel which

0:11:15.130,0:11:23.020
budding you're pressing coming in second

0:11:18.610,0:11:24.790
place is the logitech c910 it's super

0:11:23.020,0:11:27.100
lightweight as the most advanced optical

0:11:24.790,0:11:28.990
sensor the fastest response time for a

0:11:27.100,0:11:31.510
wireless mouse and it even has a built

0:11:28.990,0:11:34.089
in 32-bit ARM Cortex processor to power

0:11:31.510,0:11:35.440
all of this essentially is the best most

0:11:34.089,0:11:36.940
you can get but the reason why this

0:11:35.440,0:11:38.800
doesn't win the first place is because

0:11:36.940,0:11:41.440
it's overkill for photography work and

0:11:38.800,0:11:43.000
for 150 US dollars is not cheap I

0:11:41.440,0:11:44.680
recommend this most if you're

0:11:43.000,0:11:46.360
left-handed or if you just want the best

0:11:44.680,0:11:48.490
most that you can get and money is not a

0:11:46.360,0:11:49.470
concern however keep in mind that this

0:11:48.490,0:11:51.000
doesn't have as many

0:11:49.470,0:11:54.330
abundance as the previous three months

0:11:51.000,0:11:56.850
we mentioned the number one mouse is the

0:11:54.330,0:11:58.620
logitech g700s I've been using this

0:11:56.850,0:12:00.000
mouse for a long time and although it

0:11:58.620,0:12:02.280
doesn't have as many buttons as his

0:12:00.000,0:12:04.830
first three dimension it has in position

0:12:02.280,0:12:06.450
in better places one of the issues with

0:12:04.830,0:12:07.980
having so many buttons crammed onto his

0:12:06.450,0:12:10.200
side is that it's easy to press the

0:12:07.980,0:12:12.210
wrong one this mouse has four buttons on

0:12:10.200,0:12:15.210
the side three under left mouse button

0:12:12.210,0:12:16.560
and one in the center the other benefit

0:12:15.210,0:12:18.840
is that this is an incredibly

0:12:16.560,0:12:21.150
comfortable most i've used this most for

0:12:18.840,0:12:22.860
over five years and i love it the only

0:12:21.150,0:12:25.170
reason why switch away from this most is

0:12:22.860,0:12:27.660
for productivity reasons I simply needed

0:12:25.170,0:12:28.920
a mouse with war buttons the downside

0:12:27.660,0:12:30.690
with this most is that is not very

0:12:28.920,0:12:32.610
durable and went through three

0:12:30.690,0:12:34.170
replacements twice because the scroll

0:12:32.610,0:12:36.360
wheel broke and once because the left

0:12:34.170,0:12:38.100
mouse button broke however lodge text

0:12:36.360,0:12:40.170
customer support was awesome and he sent

0:12:38.100,0:12:41.760
me replacements for free and you can see

0:12:40.170,0:12:43.470
it online is already showing signs of

0:12:41.760,0:12:46.080
wear and tear it's still the most

0:12:43.470,0:12:48.150
comfortable mouse it's also wireless low

0:12:46.080,0:12:50.940
price and has a lot of buttons and

0:12:48.150,0:12:54.170
that's why the logitech g700s is the

0:12:50.940,0:12:54.170
best most for photoshop

0:13:00.959,0:13:04.749
hey thanks for watching this video you

Hello and welcome to this episode of

0:00:08.639,0:00:10.620
Denny's tips. Today I'll be showing you

0:00:10.620,0:00:12.389
what the best keyboard and mouse is for

0:00:12.389,0:00:14.429
Photoshop or other productivity and

0:00:14.429,0:00:16.650
creative work. People tend to use the

0:00:16.650,0:00:18.060
free keyboard and mouse that their computer

0:00:18.060,0:00:19.980
came with, but those are usually not the

0:00:19.980,0:00:22.590
best. For a software like Photoshop where

0:00:22.590,0:00:24.570
you need precise most movements, a

0:00:24.570,0:00:26.310
high-quality mouse is a must-have,

0:00:26.310,0:00:27.930
especially if you're working on a high

0:00:27.930,0:00:30.029
res display. More on that later.

0:00:30.029,0:00:32.160
Photoshop also has a lot of tools and

0:00:32.160,0:00:34.200
commands, so a keyboard with extra macro

0:00:34.200,0:00:35.370
keys will improve your workflow

0:00:35.370,0:00:38.250
significantly. In this video you'll learn

0:00:38.250,0:00:39.719
how to pick the best keyboard and mouse

0:00:39.719,0:00:43.500
to improve your productivity. Now just to be

0:00:43.500,0:00:45.059
clear, this video isn't about buying

0:00:45.059,0:00:46.680
peripherals that will make you look like

0:00:46.680,0:00:48.660
a professional. The stuff I'm going to

0:00:48.660,0:00:50.039
recommend to you is based on how

0:00:50.039,0:00:51.930
practical they are, not how professional

0:00:51.930,0:00:53.910
they look. Most of the products are

0:00:53.910,0:00:55.590
designed for gamers but don't be fooled

0:00:55.590,0:00:57.059
into thinking that gaming products

0:00:57.059,0:00:58.680
aren't good enough for professional work.

0:00:58.680,0:01:01.079
Manufacturers market your products for

0:01:01.079,0:01:02.969
gamers simply because there are way more gamers

0:01:02.969,0:01:04.860
than photographers and digital artists.

0:01:04.860,0:01:07.049
Gaming keyboards and mouse are some of the

0:01:07.049,0:01:08.820
best-performing and well built products that

0:01:08.820,0:01:10.380
you can buy and they make using

0:01:10.380,0:01:12.510
Photoshop so much better. So don't worry

0:01:12.510,0:01:13.950
if the products make you look like a

0:01:13.950,0:01:14.490
gamer,

0:01:14.490,0:01:17.610
it's all about being more productive.

0:01:17.610,0:01:20.009
Let's start off by talking about your

0:01:20.009,0:01:22.110
keyboard, a good keyboard is a hundred

0:01:22.110,0:01:24.810
percent necessary for Photoshop. Most of

0:01:24.810,0:01:26.189
the features are for your own comfort

0:01:26.189,0:01:28.290
and personal preference, but there are

0:01:28.290,0:01:29.939
some practical features that make them a

0:01:29.939,0:01:31.290
good investment.

0:01:31.290,0:01:33.840
One of the biggest features that might

0:01:33.840,0:01:34.890
make you more money

0:01:34.890,0:01:37.320
are macro keys. These are extra keys on

0:01:37.320,0:01:38.610
your keyboard that you can program to

0:01:38.610,0:01:41.070
any hot key, keys stroke combinations and

0:01:41.070,0:01:44.189
more. It's incredibly useful. Your

0:01:44.189,0:01:46.049
productivity will improve so much once

0:01:46.049,0:01:48.180
you start using it. If you want to add a

0:01:48.180,0:01:49.979
hotkey in Photoshop you can do it by

0:01:49.979,0:01:52.680
going to "Edit" -> "Keyboard Shortcuts" but

0:01:52.680,0:01:53.640
you're going to have a tough time

0:01:53.640,0:01:55.560
finding hotkey that's not already taken.

0:01:55.560,0:01:59.009
A better solution is to use macros. For

0:01:59.009,0:02:01.049
example, I have a macro for converting a

0:02:01.049,0:02:03.600
layer to a Smart Object. What this macro

0:02:03.600,0:02:07.110
does is it process the combinations ALT + L

0:02:07.110,0:02:09.750
S + S which basically loads a command from

0:02:09.750,0:02:12.630
the menu. On Macs it's more complicated but

0:02:12.630,0:02:14.820
it's still possible. I don't use Macs

0:02:14.820,0:02:16.710
anymore but from what I remember, you

0:02:16.710,0:02:18.390
have to press something like Command + F2

0:02:18.390,0:02:19.950
and then use the arrow keys on keyboard

0:02:19.950,0:02:22.560
to navigate around the menus. It sounds

0:02:22.560,0:02:24.450
like a lot of keystrokes but you can

0:02:24.450,0:02:26.250
record your macros with no delays and

0:02:26.250,0:02:27.870
it'll play so fast that it feels like

0:02:27.870,0:02:30.540
you're pressing a hotkey. I use macros

0:02:30.540,0:02:32.760
all the time and I have it set so the

0:02:32.760,0:02:34.260
macro keys will change depending on

0:02:34.260,0:02:36.870
which software I'm currently using. Time is

0:02:36.870,0:02:39.000
money, if you're not using macros yet I

0:02:39.000,0:02:41.400
highly recommend you try it out. Once you

0:02:41.400,0:02:43.380
get into a habit of using it, and you

0:02:43.380,0:02:45.209
build your own profiles you'll get things

0:02:45.209,0:02:48.450
done so much faster. Once you start using

0:02:48.450,0:02:50.010
macros, you're going to run into another

0:02:50.010,0:02:52.590
problem when you have so many macro set,

0:02:52.590,0:02:54.030
it's hard to remember which one does

0:02:54.030,0:02:56.459
what. And this is where RGB lighting comes

0:02:56.459,0:02:57.120
in.

0:02:57.120,0:02:58.830
Look for keywords that let you set the

0:02:58.830,0:03:01.170
colors for every individual key like the

0:03:01.170,0:03:04.290
Corsair K95 keyboard. Some keyboards will

0:03:04.290,0:03:06.390
say that they have RGB lighting but they

0:03:06.390,0:03:07.860
only let you have one color for your

0:03:07.860,0:03:10.110
entire keyboard or for a couple zones

0:03:10.110,0:03:11.970
in your keyboard and not the individual

0:03:11.970,0:03:14.220
keys. Make sure that the keyboard you're

0:03:14.220,0:03:18.660
buying has per key RGB lighting. I'm

0:03:18.660,0:03:21.420
currently using a Corsair K95 keyboard. It

0:03:21.420,0:03:24.030
has 18 macro keys and I use all of it. In

0:03:24.030,0:03:25.799
fact, it's not enough for me so I have a

0:03:25.799,0:03:28.860
second macro pad, the Logitech G13. I

0:03:28.860,0:03:30.690
recommend this if you need more macro keys

0:03:30.690,0:03:32.519
or if you're using a laptop and don't

0:03:32.519,0:03:34.530
want to carry around a gigantic keyboard.

0:03:34.530,0:03:36.989
There are other options like this crazy

0:03:36.989,0:03:38.940
Cherry keyboard with more keys than you'll

0:03:38.940,0:03:40.890
ever need. But i don't recommend this

0:03:40.890,0:03:42.450
because the software is quite outdated,

0:03:42.450,0:03:44.430
and it's not as flexible as the other

0:03:44.430,0:03:46.799
software from other manufacturers. So

0:03:46.799,0:03:48.720
which keyboard do I recommend? Here are my

0:03:48.720,0:03:52.530
top five recommendations: The razer

0:03:52.530,0:03:54.540
orbweaver is a macro packed with 20 keys

0:03:54.540,0:03:56.549
in the main area and additional keys

0:03:56.549,0:03:59.040
around it. It has per key RGB lighting,

0:03:59.040,0:04:01.530
great build quality and software that

0:04:01.530,0:04:03.480
lets you set customizable macros with

0:04:03.480,0:04:06.150
unlimited profiles. I recommend this if

0:04:06.150,0:04:08.160
you are using a laptop or if you need a

0:04:08.160,0:04:09.590
lot of macro keys.

0:04:09.590,0:04:12.440
If you don't need the per key RGB lighting

0:04:12.440,0:04:15.560
the Logitech G13 is a better choice. Its

0:04:15.560,0:04:17.150
price's lower and has some of its own

0:04:17.150,0:04:19.820
unique benefits. It gives you 22 macro

0:04:19.820,0:04:22.190
keys, three dedicated profile switching

0:04:22.190,0:04:24.770
buttons, and a dedicated on-the-fly macro

0:04:24.770,0:04:27.139
recording button. It doesn't have per key

0:04:27.139,0:04:29.120
RGB lighting like the razor or weaver

0:04:29.120,0:04:31.430
chroma but it does have an LCD which is

0:04:31.430,0:04:33.229
useful for displaying your CPU and RAM

0:04:33.229,0:04:36.199
usage. If you use a lot of Photoshop

0:04:36.199,0:04:38.840
actions the Steelseries Apex 350 is a

0:04:38.840,0:04:40.280
great keyboard that's not too expensive.

0:04:40.280,0:04:43.490
It has plenty of macro keys, but, what I like

0:04:43.490,0:04:44.330
most about it

0:04:44.330,0:04:47.360
are the macro keys above the f1 to 12 buttons.

0:04:47.360,0:04:48.830
They're great for mapping your favorite

0:04:48.830,0:04:51.380
Photoshop actions. The con of this keyboard

0:04:51.380,0:04:53.180
is that the keys aren't mechanical and

0:04:53.180,0:04:54.830
you can only set the colors based on a

0:04:54.830,0:04:57.050
couple zones, not the individual keys.

0:04:58.560,0:05:00.680
The logitech G190 is a great mechanical

0:05:00.680,0:05:03.320
keyboard with per key RGB lighting. It has

0:05:03.320,0:05:05.479
nine macro keys which isn't many but

0:05:05.479,0:05:07.220
they're located on the left and top side

0:05:07.220,0:05:08.720
which is useful if you like to have two

0:05:08.720,0:05:11.210
sets of macro keys. For example, on the

0:05:11.210,0:05:13.190
top macro keys you can use that to store

0:05:13.190,0:05:15.440
your favorite Photoshop actions and the

0:05:15.440,0:05:17.270
sides - you can use that for a common

0:05:17.270,0:05:19.070
Photoshop commands like rearranging your

0:05:19.070,0:05:23.210
layers. My top recommendation is also the

0:05:23.210,0:05:24.979
keyboard that I'm currently using. The

0:05:24.979,0:05:28.580
Corsair K95 RGB. It has a whopping 18 macro

0:05:28.580,0:05:30.950
keys. A dedicated on-the-fly macro

0:05:30.950,0:05:33.380
recording button, three dedicated profile

0:05:33.380,0:05:36.139
switching buttons and per key RGB lighting.

0:05:36.139,0:05:38.690
It also has the best build quality I've

0:05:38.690,0:05:40.610
ever seen in a keyboard and the software

0:05:40.610,0:05:43.340
is very very customizable. Anything you

0:05:43.340,0:05:44.810
can think of, you can probably do in the

0:05:44.810,0:05:47.150
Corsair software. It's not as user friendly

0:05:47.150,0:05:49.520
as other software like Logitech, but if you

0:05:49.520,0:05:51.289
can use Photoshop, then you'll have no

0:05:51.289,0:05:52.729
problems learning how to use the Corsair

0:05:52.729,0:05:53.840
software.

0:05:53.840,0:05:55.700
The only downside is that once in awhile,

0:05:55.700,0:05:58.340
the macros will just stop working but

0:05:58.340,0:06:00.169
once you open the Corsair software, it'll

0:06:00.169,0:06:02.720
fix itself immediately. Aside from the

0:06:02.720,0:06:03.860
software issues,

0:06:03.860,0:06:05.450
this is the best keyboard you can get

0:06:05.450,0:06:07.420
for Photoshop.

0:06:07.420,0:06:09.730
Now let's talk about something more

0:06:09.730,0:06:12.490
important, your mouse. I see people doing

0:06:12.490,0:06:14.560
professional work that requires precise

0:06:14.560,0:06:16.570
movement and they're using a cheap mouse,

0:06:16.570,0:06:18.430
usually the free mouse that comes with a

0:06:18.430,0:06:20.920
computer. A good mouse makes a huge

0:06:20.920,0:06:22.390
difference especially if you're working

0:06:22.390,0:06:25.870
on a high-res display.

0:06:25.870,0:06:27.520
Have you ever switch to a new mouse and

0:06:27.520,0:06:29.650
found that you're not used to it? You can

0:06:29.650,0:06:31.510
tweak the DPI settings all you want but

0:06:31.510,0:06:33.850
it never feels like your old mouse. It's

0:06:33.850,0:06:35.110
probably because of the sensor

0:06:35.110,0:06:38.290
position. On this G700s mouse, these

0:06:38.290,0:06:39.760
sensors located near the front of the

0:06:39.760,0:06:41.680
mouse while on this Corsair Scimitar

0:06:41.680,0:06:44.200
mouse, it's located at the center. Look at

0:06:44.200,0:06:45.550
the bottom of your mouse and notice where

0:06:45.550,0:06:48.130
the sensor is positioned. I realize that the

0:06:48.130,0:06:49.780
sensor position changes the way that I

0:06:49.780,0:06:52.870
hold the mouse. On the g700s, my palm

0:06:52.870,0:06:54.400
would be resting on the mouse which

0:06:54.400,0:06:56.710
makes it very comfortable to use. But on

0:06:56.710,0:06:58.420
my Corsair mouse, I tend to hold it like

0:06:58.420,0:07:00.280
a claw because I'm used to holding my

0:07:00.280,0:07:02.050
mouse so that the fingers are positioned

0:07:02.050,0:07:04.390
near the sensor. If you want something that

0:07:04.390,0:07:06.400
feels like your old mouse, try to find a

0:07:06.400,0:07:08.350
mouse where the sensor position is roughly

0:07:08.350,0:07:09.820
the same as your old one.

0:07:09.820,0:07:12.880
The main reason for getting a gaming mouse

0:07:12.880,0:07:14.980
is the adjustable DPI setting and

0:07:14.980,0:07:17.800
improve polling rate. DPI stands for dots

0:07:17.800,0:07:19.300
per inch and it's basically a

0:07:19.300,0:07:20.950
measurement of how sensitive your mouse

0:07:20.950,0:07:23.350
is. A higher DPI mouse will move your

0:07:23.350,0:07:25.900
cursors more pixels per inch. The quick

0:07:25.900,0:07:27.910
gist is that all gaming mouse have more

0:07:27.910,0:07:29.650
DPI than you need even on a 4k

0:07:29.650,0:07:32.440
display. Normal non-gaming mouse however,

0:07:32.440,0:07:34.330
will typically have a fixed DPI

0:07:34.330,0:07:37.360
between 800 and 1200 which is sufficient

0:07:37.360,0:07:39.640
for low res display. But if you have a 4k

0:07:39.640,0:07:41.290
display, you should really be getting a

0:07:41.290,0:07:43.330
gaming mouse with at least 2,000 DPI.

0:07:43.330,0:07:46.630
Anything over 6,000 DPI is excessive.

0:07:46.630,0:07:48.610
There's no harm in getting the most with

0:07:48.610,0:07:50.800
a very high DPI setting but just make

0:07:50.800,0:07:52.330
sure you're not specifically spending

0:07:52.330,0:07:54.770
money for that extra feature.

0:07:54.770,0:07:58.009
On my 40 inch 4k monitor, I have my mouse

0:07:58.009,0:08:00.259
set to 2000 DPI which will move it

0:08:00.259,0:08:01.849
roughly halfway across the screen for

0:08:01.849,0:08:04.250
every one inch of movement. If you're

0:08:04.250,0:08:06.470
used to using a low DPI, it'll will take some

0:08:06.470,0:08:08.810
time to adapt to a higher DPI settings and

0:08:08.810,0:08:10.580
this is where the DPI buttons on your mouse

0:08:10.580,0:08:13.009
will come in handy. Most gaming mouse will

0:08:13.009,0:08:14.360
have buttons to increase or

0:08:14.360,0:08:16.430
decrease the DPI so if you need more

0:08:16.430,0:08:18.020
precision, you can simply press the

0:08:18.020,0:08:20.090
button to lower the DPI and make your mouse

0:08:20.090,0:08:22.460
slower. If you want your mouse to move faster,

0:08:22.460,0:08:24.110
you can press the button to increase

0:08:24.110,0:08:26.419
the DPI. It's a very handy feature.

0:08:26.419,0:08:29.389
Finally, polling rate is the other reason

0:08:29.389,0:08:31.550
to buy a gaming mouse. Polling rate is a

0:08:31.550,0:08:33.169
measurement of how often your mouse

0:08:33.169,0:08:35.539
reports its position to your computer. A

0:08:35.539,0:08:36.829
higher polling rate means that your

0:08:36.829,0:08:39.050
mouse is more responsive. Normal

0:08:39.050,0:08:40.610
non-gaming most will have a polling rate

0:08:40.610,0:08:42.770
of a hundred 125 Hertz which means,

0:08:42.770,0:08:44.690
it reports its possession to a computer

0:08:44.690,0:08:46.459
125 times a second or

0:08:46.459,0:08:48.980
every 8 milliseconds. Gaming mouse

0:08:48.980,0:08:50.630
will typically have higher polling rates

0:08:50.630,0:08:54.170
such as 250 Hertz, 500 Hertz, and 1000

0:08:54.170,0:08:56.240
Hertz. You will notice the difference

0:08:56.240,0:08:58.070
going from a non-gaming mouse with a

0:08:58.070,0:08:59.420
polling rate of a 125

0:08:59.420,0:09:02.720
Hertz to a gaming mouse with 500 Hertz. The

0:09:02.720,0:09:04.850
difference between 500 and 1,000 Hertz

0:09:04.850,0:09:08.360
however is not very noticeable. Just like

0:09:08.360,0:09:09.829
how you can buy a keyboard with macro

0:09:09.829,0:09:11.600
buttons, you can buy a mouse with macro

0:09:11.600,0:09:13.610
buttons too. It's a great way to improve

0:09:13.610,0:09:16.100
your productivity. The benefit to macro

0:09:16.100,0:09:17.870
buttons on your mouse compared to a keyboard

0:09:17.870,0:09:19.190
is that you don't need to let go of your

0:09:19.190,0:09:21.589
mouse so often. I have my mouse set to

0:09:21.589,0:09:24.560
switch tabs, zoom in and out, close a

0:09:24.560,0:09:26.930
document, and scroll up and down a panel.

0:09:26.930,0:09:29.630
In Photoshop, for some reason the page up,

0:09:29.630,0:09:31.640
down, home, and end keys don't work in the

0:09:31.640,0:09:34.430
panels. Using the scroll wheel is very

0:09:34.430,0:09:35.089
slow.

0:09:35.089,0:09:36.620
So what I did was I made a macro to

0:09:36.620,0:09:38.430
let me scroll faster like this

0:09:38.430,0:09:43.410
and even faster like this. By the way,

0:09:43.410,0:09:45.540
don't forget to use a mouse pad. I used

0:09:45.540,0:09:47.160
to use the mouse on a bare surface of my

0:09:47.160,0:09:48.839
desk but I've been using a mouse pad

0:09:48.839,0:09:50.310
for a couple months now and it makes a

0:09:50.310,0:09:51.600
huge difference.

0:09:51.600,0:09:53.760
It's a lot smoother and it also extends

0:09:53.760,0:09:56.550
the life of the mouse feet. It's hard to

0:09:56.550,0:09:58.440
get a gaming mouse that isn't good.

0:09:58.440,0:09:59.610
Any gaming mouse will be a huge

0:09:59.610,0:10:01.860
improvement over a non-gaming mouse but

0:10:01.860,0:10:03.810
here are my top picks. The Corsair Scimitar

0:10:03.810,0:10:05.640
RGB is the one I'm currently

0:10:05.640,0:10:08.100
using. It's a wired mouse with 12 macro

0:10:08.100,0:10:10.320
keys on the side and two DPI buttons on

0:10:10.320,0:10:12.630
the top. The position of the side buttons

0:10:12.630,0:10:14.490
can be adjusted and I have mine set to

0:10:14.490,0:10:17.040
very front. It's a very comfortable mouse

0:10:17.040,0:10:18.779
and just like with the corsair keyboard,

0:10:18.779,0:10:21.630
the build quality is awesome. The downside

0:10:21.630,0:10:23.279
is that the scroll wheel doesn't tilt so

0:10:23.279,0:10:26.490
you can't scroll horizontally. If you like

0:10:26.490,0:10:27.959
the Corsair mouse but wish it was

0:10:27.959,0:10:30.300
wireless, the Razer Naga Epic Chroma is a

0:10:30.300,0:10:32.580
great alternative. The side buttons are fixed

0:10:32.580,0:10:34.800
so you can't adjust the position of it. But,

0:10:34.800,0:10:36.570
it does have a tilt-scroll wheel and it

0:10:36.570,0:10:38.640
comes with a charging base. It's a great

0:10:38.640,0:10:40.649
mouse, but it's also quite pricey at around

0:10:40.649,0:10:44.070
130 US dollars. The Logitech G600 is a

0:10:44.070,0:10:45.570
wired mouse and just like the previous

0:10:45.570,0:10:47.610
two mouses, it has 12 macro buttons on the

0:10:47.610,0:10:49.740
side and two DPI buttons on the top.

0:10:49.740,0:10:52.589
But unlike the two, it has a third mouse button

0:10:52.589,0:10:54.779
which is very cool. You can set the

0:10:54.779,0:10:56.760
button so that if you hold onto, it will lower

0:10:56.760,0:10:59.700
the DPI and give you slower most movements.

0:10:59.700,0:11:01.200
I personally haven't gotten used to that

0:11:01.200,0:11:03.240
and I find that using the DPI buttons

0:11:03.240,0:11:05.160
it's easier. But if you can get used to

0:11:05.160,0:11:06.959
it or you have ways of making use of the

0:11:06.959,0:11:08.850
third mouse button, then this is a great

0:11:08.850,0:11:09.480
choice.

0:11:09.480,0:11:11.339
The best thing I like about this mouse

0:11:11.339,0:11:13.020
is that the side buttons have an angle to

0:11:13.020,0:11:14.820
them which makes it very easy to feel

0:11:14.820,0:11:17.410
which button you're pressing.

0:11:17.410,0:11:19.509
Coming in second place is the Logitech

0:11:19.509,0:11:22.120
G930. It is the best wireless mouse you can

0:11:22.120,0:11:23.980
get. It's super lightweight, has the most

0:11:23.980,0:11:26.290
advanced optical sensor, the fastest

0:11:26.290,0:11:28.029
response time for a wireless mouse, and

0:11:28.029,0:11:30.459
it even has a built-in 32-bit ARM Cortex

0:11:30.459,0:11:32.019
processor to power all of this.

0:11:32.019,0:11:34.420
Essentially as the best mouse you can get

0:11:34.420,0:11:36.069
but the reason why this doesn't win the

0:11:36.069,0:11:37.779
first place is because it's overkill for

0:11:37.779,0:11:40.720
photography work and for 150 US dollars,

0:11:40.720,0:11:43.000
It's not cheap. I recommend this mouse if you're

0:11:43.000,0:11:44.410
left handed or if you just want the

0:11:44.410,0:11:46.149
best mouse that you can get and money is

0:11:46.149,0:11:48.250
not a concern. However, keep in mind that

0:11:48.250,0:11:49.870
this doesn't have as many macro buttons

0:11:49.870,0:11:51.220
as the previous three mouses that we

0:11:51.220,0:11:54.250
mentioned. The number one mouse is the

0:11:54.250,0:11:57.129
Logitech G700s. I've been using this mouse

0:11:57.129,0:11:58.779
for a long time and although it doesn't

0:11:58.779,0:12:00.459
have as many buttons as this first three

0:12:00.459,0:12:02.709
mouses, it has them positioned in better

0:12:02.709,0:12:05.259
places. One of the issues with having so

0:12:05.259,0:12:06.879
many buttons crammed onto the side is

0:12:06.879,0:12:08.740
that it's easy to press the wrong one.

0:12:08.740,0:12:11.410
This mouse has four buttons on the side, 3 on the

0:12:11.410,0:12:13.600
left mouse button, and one in the center.

0:12:13.600,0:12:15.910
The other benefit is that this is an

0:12:15.910,0:12:18.339
incredibly comfortable mouse. I've used

0:12:18.339,0:12:20.170
this mouse for over five years and I love it.

0:12:20.620,0:12:22.420
The only reason why I switch away from this

0:12:22.420,0:12:24.550
mouse is for productivity reasons.

0:12:24.550,0:12:26.410
I simply needed a mouse with more buttons.

0:12:26.410,0:12:28.899
The downside with this mouse is that it is not

0:12:28.899,0:12:30.670
very durable. I went through three

0:12:30.670,0:12:32.620
replacements - twice because the scroll

0:12:32.620,0:12:34.180
wheel broke and once because the left

0:12:34.180,0:12:35.170
mouse button broke.

0:12:35.170,0:12:37.180
However, Logitech's customer support was

0:12:37.180,0:12:38.800
awesome and they sent me replacements for

0:12:38.800,0:12:40.899
free. And you can see on mine is already

0:12:40.899,0:12:42.730
showing signs of wear and tear.

0:12:42.730,0:12:44.920
It's still the most comfortable mouse, it's

0:12:44.920,0:12:47.470
also wireless, low priced, and has a lot of

0:12:47.470,0:12:49.660
buttons. And that's why the Logitech

0:12:49.660,0:12:53.710
G700s is the best most for Photoshop.

0:12:53.710,0:13:03.520
