@patiszejuicebox Год назад

If they can make a LINK series with more layouts, I think Owlabs would make more bangers. Having the choice between a closed-cell and opened-celled build is actually pretty cool, as you can rock either a more dense or more spread-out sound.

@PWzhouster Год назад

The open/closed headphone analogy is actually brilliant. Though I won't be joining on the Link (joined QK65 R2), the meticulous detail as to how all the components are individually designed and then mesh together is pretty incredible to see. I know Alex wasn't a huge fan of the sound without the foam, and generally doesn't love the PE-foam sound signature; but I'm sure many people will be very happy with their PE foam-ed up boards and hearing the QK/Link back to back really does illustrate that even similar boards (from the same company same form-factor, with all that foam) will have nuanced differences!

@Keybored Год назад

Definitely! As long as companies start to understand the individual effects of all these foams, etc., they can start to shape the keyboard sound to a certain direction they want to hit. Hope we see more of it in the future!

@musangbeku Год назад

@glassper6002 Год назад

Love this video, with your complete explanation of what made this keyboard unique. I originally didn't care much for this board as I saw it as just another version of the QK65, but this video changed my opinion on that. I completely agree with you on this keyboard being one of the most innovative technically designed keyboards as of late, with the incorporation of knowledge from the audiophile scene. I always felt that keyboard design needed to mesh knowledge gained from the audio scene to expand on keyboard sound profiles. I also want to ask, while this keyboard is able to produce the open back type of sound like you described, is it also able to be configured to have a closed back type sound like the QK65?

@reviewforthetube6485 Год назад

Fr4 plate actually sounds absolutely amazing tbh. I'm so happy it's higher pitch nobody can say it sounds like a normal pe foam board lol. We have all been saying we want that airy sound again! But this is still different then the normal airy sounding boards lol.

@mntish Год назад

That idea for adjustable springs... true innovator... Owlabs should be really proud you've got this keyboard.

@Keybored Год назад

That would be awesome I think. Imagine changing up the feel by swapping out the springs... kind of like car modding haha

@Boyetto-san Год назад

Interesting that you brought up the parallel with open and closed headphones. I would point out that there are many closed back headphones that manage to sound open and wide, but I can definitely see what you mean on the level of basic acoustics. But just like how it's very much possible to get a wide sounding closed headphone and a narrow sounding open headphone, you definitely got the LINK65 to sound on the deeper side. In that sense, maybe the more open air design helps emphasize the sound characteristics of the other components, whereas a more closed design tends to sort of lay over a specific sound over the sound of the other components?

If you want thick just wait for qk65, don't waste money on this link65.

@KittySneeze Год назад

You mention the benefits of “matching” switches to specific keyboards/configurations to maximize the end product. I feel like this would be a great subject to cover as a follow-up video to your “thock vs clack” video. Maybe the start of a series dedicated to keyboard “sound.” From my experience, This is a process is currently founded on trial-and-error or anecdotal evidence. Basically, you’ve got to try different switches on a board to see which one you like or watch a typing test with your keyboard specific parts to approximate the differences.

@Keybored Год назад

Unfortunately, a lot of the matching is that trial and error. I realized that some great switches just sound terrible on certain boards, and some really stand out. For this Link, putting in a more bassy, heavy sounding switch like the oil king kind of fought against the higher pitched, snappy sound of the Link. But putting in a long stem SOTC really helped to emphasize the snappy clack, and really made the board come alive. It's crazy all the different levers you can pull to shape the keyboard sound

Super interesting content. The headphone analogy was great, and the idea of a switch matching a keyboard is fascinating. I would love to hear a little more about this and how to match switches to boards. 👏👏 Edit: Oh I see you replied to someone saying it's trial and error. Still, it would be interesting to know your "matches" for other boards

@Keybored Год назад

:) I usually start by putting in a switch that I know how it typically sounds. If the board allows that switch to sound like it should, it's a pretty neutral board and can take most switches fine. Some boards sound deeper and some sound higher. Some sound muted and some sound loud. Then you get a pretty good idea. If the board is overly muted, then grab a set of switches that are a bit too loud, vice versa. Then at the end of the day, you can get that exact sound you're looking for

@@Keybored that is true, I appreciated the comparison and I'm sure others will too. I don't agree with your comparison to headphones though, it would be the same thing if the case was open.

I love the sound of these board all you guys do, but most of you use linear switches. And I get it. You're all really advanced typists that don't need any feedback to type really fast. I on the other hand, while I do type at "above average" (according to the simple test when you type is "typing test"), I still need some feedback and I still need to look down from time to time. Not a lot. But sometimes. That's why I use side printed caps. It gives the look of a blank cap while still having the symbol or letter if you really need it.

I would like to say that some headphones sound wildly differently than others while sharing open-back or closed-back characteristics (e.g. hd600 has almost no soundstage, but the haymonicdyne zeus for about the same cost has tons of soundstage), but the comparison to keyboards for how sound travels in terms of the science is done very well.

@vedantk.8824 Год назад

hey scott great video! just had a quick question. do you think the PCB limits/deadens the sound of the keyboard, especially without foam?

@Keybored Год назад

More than deadening it, they're small little segments so that there is less material to "resonate" at each key press. In addition, there are a lot of openings where air and sound can go in and out of, so the board overall has a more airy sound, and can translate to a more "thinner" or "sharper" kind of sound as well.

@Keybored Год назад

The Spring feels "firmer?" thank the Link. I think how the 2 segments are separate in the spring is making it feel that way. The sound of the Link definitely is on the higher end, more open, less central and sharper than the spring.

@shynnsup8383 Год назад

I actually wanted the Voice65 but just heard they will not restock it again. I don't know where this aversion for screws comes from, screws are good, they give me security. All this effort to have no screws seems overdone and I am actually afraid of committing to this keyboard because of all those unnecessary things like with the PCB board. Who needs it to wrap like that? Oh well... Thanks for the review tho, it was awesome!

Very cool board actually even tho I dont really like that sound signature

@Keybored Год назад

It's a very open, sharper, higher pitched and "clackier" sound signature for sure

@tinyotter3339 Год назад

Can you do a sound test without the weird white foams?

@JohnnyTsunami_ Год назад

Wow PBTfans twist looks so amazing

@Keybored Год назад

I know right? Didn't think about it too much, and then when all installed, it was like wow

@JohnnyTsunami_ Год назад

@@Keybored I need a grey board just got these haha

@124kon Год назад

If you used the black foam with pom plate, would it be more thocky?

@Keybored Год назад

The Pom plate would make it seem more "thocky." But the black foam will dampen the sound a bit more, since it's a denser material and sound waves will lose more energy as it travels through it. Also, denser materials have the ability to dampen more lower frequency sound as well.

@@Keybored im new to keyboard world, and i never thought Im going to like this keyboard thing, specially when i made my first modded keyboard (Akko acr 75 pro) first it was very intimidating, but when i start getting the rhythm watching youtube specially on your channel and betty (Switch and click) etc. Im like wow, i never thought i can build decent from scratch as a beginner specially, the sound it kills me, im like looking for more and still not satisfied 😁😁😁, again thank you so much,, never regret and tbh, im so excited to other board and stuff coming very soon that i already ordered. Oops, sorry for long response,,.

6:50 is that a reference to the andy v nguyen video: recreating my end game keyboard

@Keybored Год назад

Haha, did he say that during his video? Maybe it stuck with me subconsciously :)

@fshizl2918 Год назад

Scott, what color did you get for your sample?

@Keybored Год назад

I believe mine is the "Grey Black"

@simplymahbi2251 Год назад

Petition for a 1hr sound test of Link65 with SOTCs. I need my ASMR therapy. 🤤

@Keybored Год назад

:) That would be something I can look into... my fingers might break off after tho lol

@philipp594 Год назад

Does the clip design essentially give it a build in force break mod?

@Keybored Год назад

I'm sure it's doing all sorts of things. The case itself didn't have much ping at all!

@jimmyt9283 Год назад

Would you ever consider making a discord / topre board review

@chongzterz Год назад

Could you modified QK with the airy foam and improve the sound like the link 65?

@Keybored Год назад

I'm sure the QK with more open plates, clackier switches can get close to it. But also just the design of the link I think makes this sound the way it does

@chongzterz Год назад

@@Keybored Thank you. Your review of Link 65 is indeed great. Sound is subjective. If one could modify a cheap board to sound premium, that wld be an art.
