The Neo65 Starts At $79 and It's Awesome.

Ғылым және технология

Sponsored content. While this is a paid review, it does not impact my thoughts about the product. All these thoughts are my own and the company/vendor does not get to see these edits to the video nor can see the streams due to the nature of it being a live stream.
MY THOUGHTS:
The Neo65 by Qwertykeys is a board that starts at a crazy price of $79.99 USD with it's plateless variant and $99 with the plate (plus shipping). Today we are trying the $99 dollar version, but after using it, I can definitely say the plateless version will also be a winner.
It offers a lot. Multiple mounting styles, a quality case finish, a weight (mind you it's thing), wireless, and an attractive classic design for the case. Thin bezels are a plus for me.
The two mounting methods found on the Neo65 are o-ring and 'gasket'. I'm going to be honest, the gasket acts as this sort of in-between of an o-ring and gasket which makes it perfect for sound. I preferred everything about the gasket design, and it almost makes the o-ring feel like an after thought, but it's all preference.
What I didn't love about the Neo65 was one thing about the build experience, and it's a VERY minor nitpick here. The batteries we're... awkward. I wish these sort of fit in differently to secure them better but they don't work that way. But thats really it. Thats my only nitpick
Sound wise I found it's not as "clacky" as some other boards but instead falls perfectly in the middle to feel more balanced. It's also soft or firmer depending on what mounting style you use.
Final verdict? It's a win. They listed to a lot of feedback from past projects and put it in to this one. We finally get a board that doesn't absolutely need foam to sound good but instead acts as a modifier for people who enjoy that sound signature, which is great and means everyone wins. Especially at such an attractive price point.

    "We finally get a board that doesn't absolutely need foam to sound good but instead acts as a modifier for people who enjoy that sound signature" This is so on point! Foam kits should be offered even for designer premium boards, its about the user not the designer and w/e they intended.

I have high hopes their take on a TKL would sound as amazing as this and would even compete with the pricey TKL's we know ($300-500$) like the Jane, Line friends, Mr Suit, etc..

    Honestly I felt that the o-ring mount fell very very short in nearLucid's video of it, the plateless gasket mount sounded a lot nicer to my ears. But Snayee's build with Meteor v3s and the alu plate + o-ring sounded quite nice, so who knows. If they do a Neo60, I might pick one up in the cheapest config just for fun, but it'll depend on how it goes and if they stick with the plateless gasket/o-ring dual mounting style for the 60% version. They should also include a larger weight for versions that don't have wireless sicne the batteries are pointless if you're using it wired, but taking them out means hollow space under the weight that negatively impacts the sound.

    OH MAN OK YOU WENT WITH CLACKY PLATES. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS FURTHER THE GASKIT MOUNT AND PC OR POM DOES IN FACT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, ALSO NO FOAM AND OFC A NON HOT SWAP PCB WILL ALSO MAKE IT MOAR THOCK. I KNOW PC IS GENREALLY MOAR THOCK THAN POM BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THE POM PLATE AS IMHO IT HAS MORE CHARACTER AND STILL HAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF THOCK, EITHER WAY HUGE DIFFERENCE FROM THE ALUMINUM AND FR4 THEY ARE LIKE SUPER-CLACK. ALSO, SWITCHES WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE OFC. I BELIEVE I WILL BE RUNNING GATORON OIL KINGS THOUGH I DO HAVE A THING FOR MX HYPERGLIDES ONCE YOU BREAK THEM IN AND BASICALLY DROWN THEM IN 205G0.

    Definitely much higher value than rnvoy and similar feel/sound options, side profile, little-no dependence on foam, and neo has tri mode with the option for pvd weights as well and it comes with pretty good stabilizers in the box, so it should be much better than the envoy if your concerning what you get for the price
