The Class80 from MM Studio is a huge, heavy piece of retro goodness. Dripped in full beige, it sports a buzzer, a solenoid, and an aesthetic that just won't quit. The group buy is open now, but if that's not your jam, we'll also look at the Vortex KBt RE: 68 that gives you the same vibes for a lot less money AND wait time.

Ok so as LagSpike pointed out, they make plates in both pcb-mount AND plate-mount stab options which would have never dawned on me. So ignore the part about the plate not working w the stabs. Super weird choice but it got right by me.

@lw8882 2 года назад

Yeah looking at the closeup of the plate at 1:06 you can see the left side of the spacebar. It has those dumbbell flanges you see around plate mount stabilizers so it's definitely a plate mount stab arrangement. It really defies logic. "Here's an option for putting worse stabilizers on your board that only adds to confusion for newcomers to the hobby and increases our overheads and production costs." Edit: just realized it sounds like I'm saying you're a newcomer which I'm not lol. I meant for people buying their first mid tier board.

@santiago.ordonez 2 года назад

I wonder, why would they take that much time? I just know that’s a feature of GB: loooong waiting times and quite expensive price.

@praetorxyn 2 года назад

@@santiago.ordonez It's mostly due to economies of scale. Most group buys are for limited runs. They have to have all the money up front to be able to arrange for the manufacturing to take place, and the outfits capable of manufacturing these things probably have a schedule at least a year in advance. If these keyboards were being manufactured by Corsair or something they'd be done immediately, because Corsair has the money to throw at it and has probably already reserved manufacturing space / time. Likewise, the price is high for the same reason. Corsair et al buy switches and such in such bulk that they get big discounts. Group Buys don't get such discounts, which automatically raises the price, and for custom keyboards most of them are solid anodized aluminum in much thicker sizes, so the price is just going up for this build quality too.

@luispadilla2842 2 года назад

I love how much you’ve adapted to the keyboard hobby from not caring about how pcb looks, to caring the colour of your stabilizers

@MrVocab10 2 года назад

For the stabilizers being tight on the plate, I believe you were probably using the plate mounted version of the FR4. The stab cutouts for the plate and the pcb mounted plates are different, and honestly not sure why they included a plate mount to begin with in the box. Alexotos had the same problem of his stabs being too tight, and was informed later on he was using the wrong plate version for the stabilizers. Just something for people to be aware of if they choose to go into the group buy.

@badseedtech 2 года назад

Could be - they just included some REALLY random stuff in my kit. There’s even a Class65 pcb in here lol And only one FR4 plate option

Whoa. That Vortex you sneaked in at the end -- really compelling. I've already got a Class 65, pretty compelled by the 80 in red -- but that Vortex with its curves is an out-of-nowhere looker, too. And with Bluetooth at under $200? Super tempting. By the way, loved your shots with the window shade lighting.

@WastingDrip 2 года назад

I have the Vortex and it also has 2.4ghz connection! :D

@profosist 2 года назад

As someone who owns one it blew my mind and impressed me how good it was, especially for a pre-built. I bought it 100% for the looks since it's made after the PBM PC 66. The unboxing experience is second to none, nostalgia vibes were off the chart. I'm already on the list for their next board which is based on the model M.

@MarcoCarag 2 года назад

Man, I really let custom keyboards draw my attention away from the old school masters. Vortex unsurprisingly has evolved since the Pok3r days. How's the typing feel on these?

I love the case and design but I'm not spending $300+ on keyboards anymore lol. The solenoid sounds weak but maybe it's the mic setup, on the Model F it's loud because the impact echoes through the case but this kb is full of foam and weights which would minimize it (or maybe I'm way off).

With this kind of money you can get a reproduction Model F keyboard which has capacitive buckling spring and die-cast zinc casing. The extra weight of the Model F actually provides better structural integrity and the switch is optimized for typing, while the switch on this board is generic and the brass weight does nothing other than increase the weight. This thing is a disgrace IMO.
