Awesome video Lewis!! I really like how you approach reviews (providing different sounds from different mics, stock vs. mod tests, etc.) Even though I am not really a beginner (since I have been in the hobby for years) I don't really purchase a ton of keyboards and keyboard parts, so these minor accomodations that you do help a lot in putting things in perspective. I especially like how you've been using Gateron Yellows, those were my first switches and are still a great way to gauge how a keyboard sounds. Job well done!

WHY DOES IT SOUND SO GOOD!!??
I got this and the neo65, honestly this sounds just as good as that board without any of the hassle
Can't go wrong with Morandi! The WS Heavy Tactiles give a nice deep sound to me but the Morandi are perfect for that board! Great work!

I really liked that you removed the foam. I'm a huge fan of clacky boards. I love seeing if budget boards are able to sound good without foams and with clacky switches. I actually think this one sounded decent! Keep up the good work, buddy!

Just got this keyboard. Overall I like it but I can’t seem to figure out how to get to the volume controls
Good video Lewis! I just ordered my Lucky65 today. I´m going to do a foam-less build on it. Lewis, if you want to do a foam-less build on a PCB and plate with flex cuts, consider getting a plate fork. That is what I am going to use in order to install the switches (AKKO Cream Blue Pro) without bending the plate itself when pushing down on the switches. I can´t wait for it to arrive and add it to my collection!

Where did you order yours? Mine's coming in mid May, $74 shipped to US is such a steal...so I bought 2 lol, one all foam and one foam-less.
01:36 before switch mod 03:02 after switch mod 04:15 custom mod In case anyone wants to compare back and forth Clacky just sounds to piercing for me. It just cuts through everything. I prefer the dark, low sound out of the box or the custom. Honestly, the difference between custom and out of box is so close, I’d keep it stock. Thanks very much for the video. Sincerely appreciate it - it was entertaining and informative! All the best!

Hello, nice review ;) I've bought this keeb first impression was great but I am facing a major flaw that there is no way to configure right alt key with the software, I was able to put in the Sugar65 the right alt in the original FN place and the FN key in the Right Ctrl in the sugar with his software, but it seems that in this keyboard with it's own software is imposible, I configure the keys in the soft as I have in the Sugar65 and save and nothing happens... Somebody with the same problem?
Great video! Future recommended for a board to review is the Womier SK65! I think the SK71 was pretty goated as a fully built MKB so it's has a lot of potential!
@hmuy0608

Hi Lewis! Love your chill video styles. Comparing this with the GMK67/67s, would you say the metal case is worth nearly double the cost for the GMK boards? What actual difference is there when it comes to feel and sound? Thanks!

Well duh... All you get is difference in weight and sound... Cause it's aluminium and that's it.
I don’t understand the whole screw in stabilizers if the plate mounted sounds great? I was going to get the tofu65 but i just went with this because its $100 less. I think outside the 1.2mm flex cut pcb with plate mounted stabs, the keyboard is basically the same. Easy to take apart. It comes with an aluminum weight instead of brass but thats it. Brass weight vs aluminum and screw in stabs that you need to lube because stock theyre terrible.
Lewis I'm looking to build a 75% keyboard with TTC Frozen V2 switches but I'm having a really hard time finding a DIY kit that is all around good for around $60. Also looking for keycaps that are just black and white almost like an office membrane keyboard is impossible. Please help
im confused cause it says in stock and gb both on the product page

Hey can you change FN key in the software?
lewis, is this on sale on taobao?
Dude I've got a problem. It came today and I installed their software but I can't can't change the mapping of certain keys. Most of the keys don't want to be changed in their app while others do. I can't change FN to be alt or alt to be FN but also I can't change most of normal keys. Any suggestions?

Anybody that picked this up have their spacebar hang up and not return to its resting position?
Such a missed opportunity that it's called lucky, has a four leaf clover, but no green color! Good overview, but I'd recommend you to mention when you're given a product for free just to be transparent to your viewers. Also, you forgot to mention that it has plate mounted stabs (included). Other than that, good video. Also nice haircut!
Morandi are like 4x more expensive than gateron
Imagine this was on the market in 2020. It would be $300 minimum
did anyone realized that this is less than $30 on taobao
ngl this iss good but is not good as possible as the qk65

:( im just unlucky ... again an Keyboard that i cant by from Germany
Bought mine for 52€ cant really go wrong with that low of a price
I'll share some facts about this keyboard as not everyone may be aware of. I ordered 2 units. 1st unit didn't want to connect 2.4gHz and keys didn't want to change in software. In the 2nd it works, however! 2.4.gHz is completely useless as it's not responsive and has massive delay! Not for gamers then! And the total red flag for me is you can't change the FN key layout in the software. Yes it's beautiful keyboard that feels and looks premium, but I have to take aways few points for not being practical.
Anyone know anything more creamy than this???

Is this video sponsored? I clicked on your link and saw your video was embedded in the product page already, even though you only posted this an hour ago. I don't see any mention in your video or description that you were paid for this video, or the keyboard was sent for free, or that your link is an affiliate link. You are required to disclose sponsorships by law and KZread policy, but please also do so for transparency and out of respect for your viewers. It's hard to trust your perspective when we don't know whether a video is an ad or genuine review.

Seems like it’s not sponsored
They failed us all! Only if we had been "Lucky" enough that it would support QMK/VIA or VIAL the world would have been a better place. But no collectors are stuck with yet another board they will never buy because adding yet another board that supports their own software would just plain suck. Realize manufacturers we don't want 30 boards plus 30 pieces of software. I think keyboard KZreadrs should refuse reviews for the community until these manufacturers help us all out and support via or vial at least. Drives me insane to even watch a board I can't and will never add to my collection. People don't realize the hassle when you get to 10 boards of installing potentially 10+ manufacturers software. I finally stopped my insanity and started my collection over selling the ones that did not support at least VIA or VIAL. It's no longer acceptable please stop the madness.
Can someone please guide me how to connect this keyboard to my Mac ? Both wireless and wired would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
