Disclaimer: This was NOT a sponsored stream, but Archetype did send an artisan keycap as a gift with the package to be transparent. That in NO way changes what I think about the boiard.
This is the Evolv from Archetype and designed by NathanAlphaMan. Some history with this, I bought into the original prototype run years ago, and it had a fair amount of issues but I just loved the design so much. It ended up being a fun board, but was damaged in transit and had a non working joy stock rotatory encoder due to tolerances being wrong.
Fast forward to today and we have the Evolv 2.0? 3.0? What ever it is, it's completely overhauled without losing what made it fun in the first place, those tendrils as feet. Quite frankly, I like this version and design WAY more. It's sleek.
Archetype also let me know the final price for the entry unit is now LOWER. The all alu builds will be starting at $372 now, which makes this project even better. The board is fun, sounds good leaning more to a louder bassy sound rather than a higher pitch "clack" like I usually like in my boards. The feet as of right now are good, and haven't really been problematic but they are getting better in the final round apparently!
Again with many boards I cover, there is always cheaper alternatives to a sound and layout you may be after. With these premium products you typically get a fun more complex design and sometimes some stand out features. This board has one of those! Using a Joystick encoder which is awesome.
