Great review and awesome keyboard. Now that is definitely something new! That top frame removal is just so damn good and I hope other keyboard manufacturers would use it as well.

Yo Lewis! This board and keycaps looks solid and cool! It sounds so good. Deep sound and thocky too. The feature where the top easily comes off is awesome. Makes it easy to mod. Nice video content bro

I'm poor, so this is still out of my budget, but compared to when I first started glancing at custom keyboards a couple of years ago, this is a hell of a deal. It's amazing what some of these companies are putting out for the price these days. You can get so much more for your money lately and it's awesome!

Whooeww thanks for featuring this greatness!

Have you tried the gk75 I just got it and it has some of the smoothest switches out of box and the stabs are super nice with no clack. Its only $60 and already feels better than my $200 custom keyboard.

hey so i found a really good ~$100 pre built board id recommend trying. its a yunzii board and its really nice. its hotswap and comes with the switches pre lubed. its not hollow and has some nice dampening. i find it pretty decent for the price.

Hey Lewis, are you using black pvd wieght? It looks nice.

Does it have via compatibility?

It's a very nice keyboard but how the heck would you work without the F1-F12 keys? How would you access the BIOS if you need to fix something (for most OS:s it's the DEL key but for some it can be F5 or F8 or F11, if I remember correctly) and many softwares use the F keys for shortcuts and mandatory functions. I can live without the NUM pad but you gotta have the F keys (well, maybe not necessary if you just do typing in general but for coding and more specific tasks you need the F keys). Other than the missing keys it looks and sounds very nice! 😊

Hotswap lets you remove and replace switches without the need of soldering. I would suggest for you to get hotswap as it would be your first custom, which also could be handy when you have new switches to try out. As for the wireless and wired, it's all up to your preferences and needs.

Doubtful. There is nothing in this that hasn't already been done tbh. The latching mechanism has been done in multiple other keyboards and done better looking IMO (JRIS75 first to mind). What you will find is that this latching mechanism ends up making the top and bottom of the case look a certain way from the side profile (top overhangs the bottom). Or at least every one that uses it I've seen looks that way and I think that's due to how it works and tolerances. So, you won't see this in a lot of other case designs that are sleeker and more elegant looking. Beyond that the different mounting mechanisms are common in most group buy boards. The layout is, IMO, not popular (luckily click clack has said they should be releasing this similar design in other layouts in the future). The other problem is once again a group buy board is unable to offer a wireless PCB with QMK/VIA support even though it's CLEARLY possible. It's definitely a good value, at least before shipping, but I think it's being overblown how great this is. Feels like the same thing that happens with a keyboard ever 3 months.

yo finally

What colour is that one? Is that the Void Elf colour? It looks a LOT darker in the shop images. But there are no other purple colour other than the Lavender so I guess it must be? Anyways, cool board and nice vid as always dude.

still would've liked a no-foam sound comparison.

Rather than F-Rowless, I'd prefer navless (60% + F-Row, aka 70%).

don't want to be too much of a buzzkill but if ur in the US it is also $50 shipping so add $50 to the cost of whatever configuration you want
