It was very weird though. When I got it, it was sort of in a ”forced wireless” mode where the wired connection did not do anything bit give power to the keyboard. No matter which way I had the switch in the back, it could BT connect to my phone but did not register wire connection to my desktop. It was solved through Fn + Space (iirc) quickly - the command to disconnect BT. That made everything go back to how it should be. Weird indeed. Minor clicking on the right side of the left shift and otherwise quite consistent indeed. From my expectations and scarse reference base (to say the least) I’m indeed happy for what I got for the pay. Based on your comments here I wish it stays that way so I can avoid contact with an absent support 😂

As my previous comment it seemed to be in a sort of ”forced wireless” mode when I got it, and switch in the back did not to any difference but give power (it could still only be BT connected even if the switch in the back was off). In that process I noticed I got the RGB in BT wothout any wired connection. Iirc RGB still worked even when I sorted the ”forced mode” and did the wireless BT connection normally again. Can try again when I get back home and double check.

Most of your gripes are quite valid. Got myself the FinalKey variant of the v65 and it's been an awesome on-the-go work board so far. The heft and weight is still enough to make it feel premium while not being too unwieldy like other heavier aluminum keyboards. And for the price point... definitely still worth getting despite its clear design flaws.

sure, there may be tiny flaws here and there, but i dont think that any of these are fatal whatsoever (except for strike 2 maybe). for strike 3, most people buying this board are probably going for a retro theme on a budget, and rgb doesnt really fit with that at all and isnt that big of a deal. bluetooth also has a lot of latency and rgb can be considered more for gamers, which means they probably wouldnt use bluetooth if they wanted to use the board for games. for strike 1, the feet on top of the screws isnt that big of a deal, the feet are still gonna stick on somewhat cuz its sitting on a flat surface. it also makes the board look a bit sleeker and cleaner imo. i can see how it can be annoying for some people, but it definitely isnt a fatal flaw. for strike 2, the jst not being crimped was either bad quality control or a rare defect for ur unit, pretty unlucky considering ive never heard of anyone else running into this issue. even if this is a common quality control issue, i do feel like the value ur getting from this board is insanely good. ur pretty much getting a board with a full aluminum case, gasket mount, polycarbonate plate, decent prelubed switches, plate mount stabs that can easily be tuned to sound great, pbt cherry profile dye sub keycaps, and a knob, all for around $130... seems pretty good to me. keep in mind that this board is made out of aluminum and comes with all of these higher end keycaps and switches, for $130, and that most aluminum barebones kits like the keychron q1 can start at $150 or more.

> most people buying this board are probably going for a retro theme on a budget, and rgb doesnt really fit with that at all (sic) That's quite a subjective statement you are applying as objective. The rubber feet could have had a nipple piece to fit into the screw channel, not an adhesive which will loose it's ability to stick once removed and reapplied, losing one means a wobbly board. The JST connector is poor QA/QC, what else did they fail to test? Also, if you needed support or a warranty replacement, do you think you'd get one? These are just my opinions, I know people who have this kit and enjoy it, I personally did not feel the price was worth the compromises.

I did some digging in the manual online and found this line, "Note: In order to saving energy. Keyboard without backlighting under Bluetooth mode, unless plug in factory USB cable or power restoration." So it sounds like it's a "feature" to remove backlighting in BT mode. Not going to lie, I still ordered one. Depending on what I end up liking better between this and the Zoom65 (which still hasn't shipped yet) I'll make one of them my travel board and gift the other one to someone.

Well, built one for my mate and I would say it's good at this price point (only 88 bucks for a cnc aluminium kit in my country). But there're some flaws that I have to mention it here: First of, the switch used to switch between wired mode and bluetooth mode a lil bit loose (but thankfully it will be fix in the R2) Second, the aluminium surface feels...cheap. Yeah I know we can't really expect it's going to be the same as high-end kit but still it disappoints me a little bit Third, as you mentioned in the video, you can't use led on bluetooth mode, which is kinda weird (this is the first time I've ever seen a keyboard doesn't allow you to turn on led while using bluetooth lol) Last but not least, you can use VIA but still the firmware is buggy as hell. I tried to change the led color and you know what? It's literally flickering after changing the color (even after you change it for hours) and the fact that they don't test it properly after releasing the board made me feel frustrating (they said it will be fixed in the next update but still, ya know) So overall, I'll rate it 7/10 (It has some potential and hopefully they will improve it in the R2). Also I recommend you to have a glance on the Monsgeek M1 (also aluminium, released recently and it's a small brand apart from Akko). It uses the same pcb from the Mod007s and the case surface feels really nice with the price only at 69 bucks, and the GMK67 (literally a clone of the V65 [same layout], plastic, have 2 daughterboards, light af with the price at 40 bucks) ;)

I got this board a few weeks back and the exact same thing happened to me with the daughter board connector. Being new to the hobby it was scary, thought I ruined my board, the plastic connector kind of got deformed as I try to remove it from the socket and one of the pins popped out. Luckily I was able to wiggle it back in and the board works fine now. Will not be removing the socket again as it feels like I can further damage it.

Hi I'm back for some feedback. I bought V3 version and lights are allowed in wireless mode. With leds turn on the 3000mah battery can last a couple days if you not typing all day. Luckily I haven't gone through any bad experience! I hope it can be good in several years
