@mr.guillotine3766 7 месяцев назад

I love how there are so many more affordable options coming out that are actually good. I don't really have the budget for most of them, but they are the types of boards that I could maybe save up for, which was never going to happen with a $300+ option...I just couldn't find any possible way to justify paying that much..but when I'm now seeing options in the $80-$120 range...well that's different. I could maybe rationalize that expense and not feel too bad about it.

@mr.guillotine3766 7 месяцев назад

Also, please keep showing your cat in your videos, hell, show more of her!

@HimmelWeint 7 месяцев назад

Another really good budget custom is the Neo65 it's cheaper than the board shown on the video but it is also a 65% as opposed to a 75% shown which layout you prefer is up to you but if you like 65% have a look at that.

@Kidownzus 6 месяцев назад

Bought the monsgeek m1w fully assembled. Modded it a bit. It's good enough for me. Lol

@Video_Fiend 6 месяцев назад

I bought the "Techware phantom 87 plus elite" (a bit of a tongue twister). However, I really don't regret buying it. the keyboard has held up well and sounds quite good especially with the "tape mod". I chose the brown switches which are made by Techware, and they have also held up pretty well (feeling, quality, and sound wise). But if anyone got this specific keyboard, I would recommend the tape mod, and also to mod the space bar and a few other keys by putting double sided tape in the keys for a more THOCKY experience. I hope this helped, if not sorry for wasting your time. (BTW: it cost about 80 U.S dollars)

The slower pace is quite nice. i like how indepth you went. Both keyboards end up looking great but its interesting how the barebones just doesnt save you money. Like at all. The switches are always gonna cost you more than 10 dollars (unless your a keyboard youtuber with a closet full of switches) and its the same for keycaps. Its kinda wild.

@Dajan456 7 месяцев назад

I picked the 65 version out for my friend and these boards are really good value. I like that there are other options than the keychrons in terms of design.

@lECiFeR. День назад

Hey, a little late on a comment, but if I buy the prebuilt, do you recommend swapping switches at all? Because I ordered switches (Vertex V1's) and I am thinking about buying the Cidoo V75. It sounds good stock but I think I may change the switches. Did you change the switches at all?

@MarbsMusic 7 месяцев назад

I've picked up a number of GMK67s from Ali recently and they all have that plastic, just poke holes and go it makes them sound much deeper compared to previous version I had. Been looking at building one of these, definitely have to check it out now! I picked up those switches in the prebuilt, Matte I'm assuming, as someone suggested a comparison to my WS Morandi but with less stem wobble. They are definitely smooth but also louder and a little higher pitched than the Morandi. Still I was very impressed as they were about half the price.

@advancegeo2986 7 месяцев назад

The keyboard I'm most excited for is the keychron q1he it's basically the q1 pro series but with hall effect switches like a wooting or steelseries board and yes there are other options out there for hall effect keyboards ive become use to the great build quality you get from keychron I like it when it feels like I could fight someone with my keyboard before it broke

@lilpain1997 7 месяцев назад

honestly that looks nice. Might have to buy it simply due to me being a collector lol. Sounds is really not that bad for a budget board, about what you expect with a lot of foam which is fine as I do like that sound. Another board I am looking at is the new QK75N as a potential to replace my main board. Keep up with great content man

@albertko1 7 месяцев назад

I believe the keyboard with the screen is being sold as the V75 PLUS and is also sold as the Finalkey V81 PLUS. So basically, if you see PLUS it's got a screen. Hoping Hipyo can get a hold of a Leobog Hi75 and the AI75. These are really pushing the lower end of the hobby forward. Plus the Hi75 uses a PP plate... heheh, PP.

So I don't have this exact board, but I do have the v65 r1 which is basically this board but with a few quality of life things that don't really affect feel or sound.

For the problem with the switches, something quite similar happened to me. I had a keyboard with lubed switches (I lubed them myself), and after traveling by plane in my checked-in luggage, some switches were dead. Not idea whether the lubricant is responsible or just the transport (might have something to do with temperature difference in a plane? Or pressure?), but yeah, switches don't seem to like this so much (never had any issue when traveling in cabin luggage though)

@softhusky 7 месяцев назад

maybe the keyboard was just handled rough and the leaves inside the switches folded?

@leksandro1459 7 месяцев назад

Got zoom75 and cidoo v65, and I can't say that cidoo is a zoom killer - v65 feels cheaper, sounds much worse out of the box than zoom, keycaps are not for everyone (I immediately replaced the stock ones cause they hurt my eyes plenty), flex so-so. Guess 75 is not far from 65, but yes - cidoo is cheaper, can be modded and available right now, unlike zoom, which you can't buy just like that. Now my zoom is almost perfect and cidoo will be rebuilt completley in an attempt to reach the level of zoom

@switchdoctorau 7 месяцев назад

This is identical to the V81 plus which I built on stream recently. Must be the same manu. I was actually really impressed, even with the stabs. It’s actually not bad without foam. But I found that it was pretty good with the plate foam at least. The case foam does help a tad though.

@ShisoKun 7 месяцев назад

I have the Finalkey v81 plus which is basically the same keyboard but with more color options and proper software and via support, really great for the price of $130. 100% recommend for anyone trying to get into custom keyboards. the only thing I dislike is the lack of plate options

@evan-4039 7 месяцев назад

the Cidoo V75 Plus also has VIA support, wdym by proper software? is it for the LCD screen? u could try contacting FinalKey for the plate file, they're pretty accommodating when i requested for their V65 plate file and got myself a customized alu plate

@Brunnen_Gee 7 месяцев назад

I have a project for you (if you haven't done it already). Instead of spending that much on tiny amounts of expensive lube, get some Super Lube silicone PTFE grease. It's what I've always used on switches and stabs, and IMO it works great. Be warned though, if you lube switches with it, use an _extremely_ light coating. It's cheap and you can get a big tube of it. Enough for a lifetime of keyboards.

7:30 Keychron switches are only $16 for a full set and they're prelubed. I just got the Mints or Mint pros or whatever they're called, and I don't even remember them mentioning lube on the website, so I started pulling all the switches apart and about halfway in I noticed they were prelubed. There's very minimal lube on them and none on the springs so if that's not your preference maybe don't get them, but you'll always be making that kind of tradeoff with prelubed switches so I can't really complain. The switches feel really good imo.
