I started doing content creation in December 2019. It is and always will be my goal to create a fun and welcoming community, all while having fun and making a supportive group of people for everyone to hang out with.
I was on the brink of buying this but then they apparently use an OEM solution for the firmware and software, which I have decided to stay away from. So in the end I look at it as a better version of Logitech Mechanical Mini, and didn't buy it. I do think I would have bought it if I had a need for portability, though.
Those legends are a deal breaker for sure. If they went with a solid body like you suggested and had some kind of white on black keycap set with better legends it'd be an instant buy.
hello alex, I can explain why this sounds so good, I've designed a board myself with the same concept, it's the open-to-air back. makes resonance basically non-existent and basically only has plate and switch sounds, it's very clean sound.
Edit: Received mine today and am watching this while I build it up. Great video. On the difficult bags, try opening them with one hand using your thumb & index finger in a "snapping" motion. The friction opens the seal easily every time and you avoid tearing the bags up. I actually like these bags.
if you put that face down on a desk i'd think thats the back of a laptop....it looks nice and this is by far one of the best sounding low profiles ive ever heard
I've been using it off and on since I got it in, I'm just more shocked that this sounds good out of the box. My experience with low profile has typically been rather meh.
i left the discord. they were pitchforking over spacebar placement. i am left handed. this board was not for me. enjoying the neo ergo. agree with you on the weight alex.
10:02 It's because you can take out the plate mount stabs without dissasembeling the board. You just take out a switch and there's space to take out the entire stab. Even the spacebar which is why there's that line cut into the plate.
Things have changed so much in the hobby since I bought the original sonnet and 350+ for a 75% just seems in insane in 2024... especially when cycle8 will be sub $200. Mode is middle-tier at best... they need to price accordingly.
I look for a good custom for 300 dollars but i'm lost with all model in this channel, which is the best quality and good sounding, or your top3 ? thank you vey much.
I uhhh don't think the acrylic was meant to be cut. Pretty sure the parts you cut off were meant to act as light pipes so the lighting from under the pcb would easily show up on the outer portion.
like many others, I'm not a fan of proprietary software compared to opensource software like QMK/VIA/VIAL. being able to adjust a keyboard's layout on the fly, like on a work computer or my iPad on the go, is sooo nice. however, I will say the best of all the proprietary software I've used is the obinslab on for the Anne Pro 2. it was surprisingly pretty intuitive and worked without any hiccups. great video as always!
With so many people out there speaking good/ill of products or software they've never used before, I do really appreciate you backing your opinions with real user experience, and not regurgitate "popular" opinions. 👌
I feel like they used plate mounted stabs so that you could remove them without having to open the board and void the warranty. What other reasonings have you heard?
@@alexotos i usually prefer GMK abs sound/colors as well, but for a gaming board I usually slap a epbt set on. Cheap abs sets are usually worse than cheap pbt in my experience. Nothing worse than the shine through abs being inconsistent due to keycap wear, I've had black cheap shine through ABS start smearing before.
sounds pretty good stock though the competition and variety has raised hopes too much nowadays. Thanks for the modding tips. Happy summer holidays and plenty of actual rest :-)
I did an overhaul of an ikbc CD108 V2 (original cherry yucky brownies). It was just a test to see what can be done.. That MOFO came out so good, that I wanted to keep it... but it was promised as gift. Now, there's a colleague of that guy I did the Keeb for that wants exactly the same! I have no idea why but that's that. Some peeps just want a standard, reliable keeb that just sounds and feels good. So, these overhaulin' exercises is something all enthusiasts should try! If it goes again, I'll try on a video. Kudos!
2:00 havent had much experience with it myself, but id say wootility might just be more user friendly than via, pre ordered the 80HE so when that arrives ill be able to say for certain but it is still the only one that come relatively close to via
