This Budget Keyboard Breaks all the Rules!! - Boyi GMK67 

I built one of these a few months ago. Tape mod, bandaid mod, thick mousepad foam, Akko screw-in stabs, BBK switches, and some purple gradient keys. It's a great base to build off of.

Completely agree - great video. I got a black GMK67 too. Added loads of extra foam, tape modded, Akko V3 Lavender Purple Pro switches and Drop + Biip MT3 Extended keycaps. It’s gorgeous.

imma buy this, thank you so much man. You deserve the recognition.

I got me one of those and I'm so happy, I did. For the price it sounds so good!!!

Underrated channel - your production is great. Just bought two colors and will be trying different mods for each ;)

thank you so much for the info helped a lot definitely

Hey man, in the market for a keyboard for my missus. Great recommendation! Keep it up 👍

sounds good man looks good to yea I might try this board very soon gave a like.

I love my GMK67 and i agree that I got it specifically because it can use PCB mounted stabs and has grrat customizability for sound. I first used the packing foam as PE foam but that was worse sound that thr included precut pe foam for me, so i ended up using it mostly stock, but with polished cherry mx blacks, staebies and xmi keycaps. Turned out to be a very balanced sound profile, neither too thocky nor too clacky, very balanced. Very happy with it and looking forward to the GMK87 or GMK81, I'll have to try one of them haha Edit: personally I tried tape mod but removed it quickly. For my ears it takes away too much from the balanced sound and all I could hear was the tape. Preference, of course.

W this guy is putting so much effort in his vids

Can this work without the battery? Only on USB power.

A weight mod gives a GMK65 a premium feel. Just stick those very flat adhesive wheel weights at te botttom of the case after getting rid of the case foam. The put polyfill on top of the weights. The board will be hefty and in weight close to a kilo. The sound enhances by the polyfill and weights and also the flex increases a bit.

I might get this and I am curious if you have to put together the pcb or any other thing because I think as a beginner in the custom keyboard market ( I have not bought one yet) I would like to know that. Thank you for your help

i smell underrated

great video! can you make a tutorial on how to mod those things(it's a lot of people's first keyboard... :).. )

I recently ordered this board for 39$ with 14$ caps and 20$ switches from AliExpress. Same bord in my country cost around 80$ alone. I can't wait to see delivery guy and assemble this beast.

GMK67-S has been going for around $40 on Ali and it eschews the knob but has VIA. Prices have really come down over the past few years.

How’s battery life for the gmk67?

I'd rather use the stock poron switch foam over the PE foam tbh. Since PE foam seems a bit overpowering and makes switches sound homogenous. I recommend trying the stock configuration but replacing the bottom case foam with polyfill sheet or goka foam instead, it made my gmk67 sound comfy, not saying it's better since it's a matter of preference but give it a shot, you might like it too.

Sold my Anne pro 2 for this one. I’m never looking back.

Is this via compatible?

how about mechwild's bb65

you did a double pe foam mod

great build man could you please tell me what is the polling rate of the keyboard ?

yo the quality of this video is unbelievable man like what is this video doing in a small channel like this, im so confused//// did you lose a million subs or something

whats the differnce between Boyi gmk 67 and zuoya gmk 67?

Please show the link for keycaps as well

would the jwick black linear v2 switch be better than the jwick black t1 v2 switch?

I got GMK67 for $37 shipped to US, some folks even got a better deal, I don't see any reasons to pay twice as much for a rebranded keyboard. Sugar65 is a better deal @$70 imo. Also, I wouldn't buy those keycaps from ETSY, identical one could be found elsewhere at half the price.

ok bought this board and mod it omg I love it I go the purple to lol I made it thocky. Vid drop tonight by the way i sub to friend. sounds good more thocky than mine lol

You payed 67?????? Dude ingot it last week for 30 bucks from Ali express

this keyboard is $29 in Aliexpress

hmm....the video is good and all but I would really implore you do some in depth research before stating quite a lot of misleading info and if I need to point out 1 in particular it would be your statement that most budget keyboards comes with aluminum plate are very very misleading, the accurate facts regarding that would be most budget keyboards comes with a cheap spray on steel plate which sounds horrible and not aluminum. There is a huge difference in material and also how the keyboard sounds from both aluminum and steel, So I think there is a need for me to point this out and address this particular statement in this video. I don't mean to come off as trying to be an expert or anything but seeing as this video has 21k views it might also mean potentially there are people of that amount who thinks their budget steel plate is an aluminum plate and can't tell the difference moving forward. Also pro tip you can actually test if the plate on your keyboard is aluminum or steel with a little magnet, if the magnet sticks on your plate then it's just a steel plate and not aluminum.

This budget keyboard sucks. You can find a kit at the cheaper price ( 35 bucks ), but with an aluminum case, damn good RBG, good gasket mount, and full case foam (case foam, PCB foam, tape too if you find the right model). The Xinmeng M71 has tri mode connections, and it has software too. ( metal knob included)

Man thats way too much foam. It makes it sound like doodoo was smeared inside the keyboard. Literally no identity.
