Solid review Andy, best wishes and congrats on the upcoming wedding!

Great video as usual. Enjoy the time leading up to your wedding and the actual day itself dude!

Take care of yourself buddy. Really appreciate you. Wish you the best with the wedding and beyond.

Another excellent video!!! I am really excited about this board and hearing it compares to a Vega?!?!!! EVEN BETTER!!! I am holding out hope that I can get my hands on a Vega (...someday), but this is for sure a "must buy".

Loving the reviews so far, very thorough yet straight to the point. I'm not the biggest fan of the look but this board definitely seems like great value for both sound and feel. Also congrats on the upcoming wedding! Take care of yourself and be careful with burnout.

Amazing contents as always! and congrats on winning them KBBQ, it must've been so deli...yum :p

Good luck with the wedding!!!

I'm definitely one of those who'd prefer PE foam in because I like that glassy sound. But I can understand where you're coming from where especially if you have more than one keyboard, it'd suck if they all just sound the same.

This keyboard would look PERFECT with GMK Botanical

Love how the bezels look! Obsessed with that green too. If i didnt have so many 65s I’d definitely consider copping one!

Mate your mental health and wedding and relationship are far more important than being 'productive' and satisfying the demands of online strangers. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better about making content soon, not for our sake but for your own enjoyment and needs

Great content Andy 👌

A keyboard that sounds good with PE foam, is an okay keyboard. A keyboard that sounds good without PE foam, is a good keyboard. A keyboard that sounds good in both configurations, is an awesome keyboard.

That looks super smooth

Oh shit! This keyboard is cleeeeean, I'm going to try and pair this with KAT Space Dust! Thanks for the heads up! Love the idea of a cheaper 65 that sounds similar to the Jelly Epoch!

E-white copper Ginkgo so lit, would build it with no foam because it sounds joyless with anything more than plate or case foam

Very happy to see it sounds good without the pe and pcb foam for me i would probably use the pcb and case foam and call it a day but it's very nice even without that's always great what I love is even adding the pe foam it didn't take away from the switches finally as people see they are finding ways to add it and not take away anything just add a nice sound to it lol

Thanks and enjoy the wedding! Have a good break! Would this work better with Linear or Tactile switches?

i'd say linear since it's bouncy feel. For tactile to really feel the bump, usually you'll want stiffer board

The board that uses pe foam yet somehow doesn't sound like it. But I mean this in a good way it just added more pop to it which I loved. It retains the switches sound fully tbh lol.

I kove how even when you added the pe foam it didn't sound like pe foam just allowed a little more pop through just shows these companies are learning how to add pe foam without changing the sound to much it retains the switch sound alot

Kinda sad nobody built the board with aluminum plate yet, I'd be curious about the sound profile difference compared to the stock PC and FR4.

I really want to find this board and get one.

Its really sounds "PE foamed" with PE foam. Actually PE foam ain't bad for both KZread typing test and actual typing sound, just as he said, its sound pretty similar. Without PE foam less snappy but I like the more unique sound (probably more fun on choosing different switches with really different sounds like old days). I vote for without PE foam.

Definitely without pe foam it sounds quite good, especially for thst price. Very interested

It's great that this can compare to the vega, especially at this price point. Sound-wise, do you think it bears any resemblance to the Vega?

The green color is difficult to grasp from pictures and the video here. Some sequences like around 5:43 make it look deep lush green, somewhat sparkly, where like on the typing tests it looked mat and dull like an old military tank would be painted green. So what is the actual color? Or would it be safer to just get the black?

@AndyVNguyen

The green isn’t sparkly. The shot from the sound test is an indoor setting. It’s mostly darker. Green no matter what the lighting is hard to match. Get black if you’re concerned with matching and don’t have a plan
