good point at end, waste 500 to save thousands. i wonder if this board can fetch 100 nowadays. its a shame the sound isnt there even after modding. interesting to see how far boards have come in performance and price in a few years. thanks for the video, i love that yours are always from the heart and feelings surrounding the hobby that we all experience vs the technicals of a board

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

Well, I try my best to depict the feelings of a keyboard and the thought that goes behind it. I do cover technicals from time to time when that becomes the center point! About the Aella, I thought that since a foam kit isn't included, it would be perfect out the box! That was my main disappointment. At least give me some foam to tune the board, if the sound isn't going to be perfect.

If you buy boards just to have it sound nice, just buy the Aula F75. Its like 30 to 50 sgd from taobao. Comes pre modded and prebuilt with all the foam stuff u can think of. No need spend 500 bucks.

@benfromsg 3 месяца назад

It’s not just about sounding nice as I mentioned. It’s also the design and aesthetics that need to convince me that it’s worth that price.

To be fair FOMO drives 90% of this hobby. Nothing to feel bad about!

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the consolation. I'm glad there's people who understand (sobs).

@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken 4 месяца назад

Don´t feel bad about having bought this keyboard. Remember that this hobby is all about personal preference. I´m sure there are people out there that have bought this same keeb and are happy with their $500 buck purchase. You would have never found out if it was worth for you unless you bought it. Good thing is that if you really regret getting it, you can always sell it.

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

Good thing is that I don’t have major issues with the board. Just can’t find a reason to pay 500 bucks for it back then and today. And I definitely know people who appreciate the design details and willing to pay and support the designer

@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken 4 месяца назад

@@benfromsg There you go, see, you´ll get your money back. Plus now you know that you´re not missing out on anything. If you hadn´t bought it, you would still be wondering if you missed out or not.

"You would have never found out if it was worth for you unless you bought it." The copium is strong with this one.

This is HANDS-DOWN the most realistic, helpful, honest, and real review I've seen in a long time...and not just about the board but about the hobby in general. I got into the hobby later than some so I had the luxury of hours and hours of videos and written reviews of everything keyboard related. I made some FOMO mistakes but, for the most part, kept my wits about me. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm sitting here looking at the recommended videos as I write this and I'm literally staring at a half dozen different keyboards that look essentially the same. I appreciate that you took the time and effort and use so much photography magic to convey the message that many, many, many of us need to hear. Now, I'm going to go cry in a corner about my (not as expensive) Neo Ergo I'm waiting on. lol

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the compliment! Alot of keyboards do tend to look the same these days, huh. I've gotten wiser in how I spend money too, to really ask myself what do I LOVE (not like!) about this purchase that justify the 300-500 I am about to fork out. Offerings below 300 have gotten too good and too standardized (Neo Ergo as you mentioned) to justify most cult-like fandom!

@StillthatguyJake 4 месяца назад

@benfromsg You said it all. I definitely make wiser choices. I also missed the big hype train so I've had the luxury of the market getting saturated enough that people aren't afraid to be honest about companies or specific boards/switches/etc. And yes, were the Ergo a penny more, it would not have justified it at all.

@jona4934 4 месяца назад

Dude, I bought and regretted all of those boards you listed 😭. crazy how much our mindsets can change as we dive into this hobby. Fomo had such a grasp on my hobby choices back in 2020-2022. I'm at a point where I'm very picky about what I buy, and I no longer boards I am only "ok" with.

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

I get you man! It’s exactly where I’m at now! But haha, I didn’t regret my other purchase though! Loved all those boards because they each had something striking about them, Aella… not so much.

@hakumiino727 4 месяца назад

This editing is sooo good. I also want to learn how to make vids like you

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

You can! You just got to make mistakes and learn from it. Watch videos on scriptwriting, storyboarding and filmmaking techniques, those help a lot!

01:05 $500 😢 Preferences for me… 1. Feels exquisite to type on. 2. Does it sound pleasing. Aesthetics…considering I used to use what was available at big box stores, and all I ever checked for, because we didn’t have any options, was feel - aesthetics, although nice, is far less important. Also, I’ve seen some minimalist white boards that completely met requirements 1 and 2…so, if that suffices for aesthetics, anything beyond that is a bonus.

@benfromsg 4 месяца назад

I think what’s lacking is innovation. Part of the reason why the curvy profile was unique back then was that the Aella was one of the few to have it as a design feature. The boards back then were pretty rectangular, think TGR Jane and Rama U80. That was what the Aella was aiming to be.
