Sounds really good for the price! I was looking at the Sugar65 for a gift to my friend, but this seems like a solid upgrade. Too bad they don't have the Pink color, I guess I'll settle for the Milky White one. Lack of VIA is a non issue to me, considering it's wireless and I'll probably just set it up once and forget about it.
I'll share some facts about this keyboard as not everyone may be aware of. I ordered 2 units. 1st unit didn't want to connect 2.4gHz and keys didn't want to change in software. In the 2nd it works, however! 2.4.gHz is completely useless as it's not responsive and has massive delay! Not for gamers then! And the total red flag for me is you can't change the FN key layout in the software. Yes it's beautiful keyboard that feels and looks premium, but I have to take aways few points for not being practical.
Not having an “irish” green colorway seems like a missed opportunity. The lack of VIA and the 1.2mm pcb probably makes this a miss for me, mostly because the budget 65% space is already pretty crowded with decent boards. Nothing really makes it stand out.
Trueee! An Irish green would have been so good for this board + GMK Dandy 🍀 But yeah, the lack of Via compatibility and the thin PCB really isn't for everyone.
Terrible take. This is by far the best aluminum wireless 65% keyboard. Cleanest design, amazing sound w/ no LED in random colors telling you you're on wifi/bluetooth/wired or ugly side lights w/ diffuser. Just pure perfection in a clean design.
in total I ordered 6 units of blue one. Of 6 units only one was unfaulty. 1 came scratched, 1 came without support rubber on the bottom, 1 came without rgb on capslock and delete key, and other 2 came without working software - couldn't change key layout. Half of them all didn't have working 2.4gHz connection. In one unit after replacing the spacebar stabilizer the whole keyboard stopped working.. It looks so good but the quality is such a distaster that's it's hard to recommend.
How's the typing angle? is the front height seems fairly low so it seems Ok to use without a wrist rest. Still... I know it's a budget board but having that mounting point right by the spacebar means it mutes the sound there.
Hey quick question, I just got the cloud linear for this board, lubed them already, but the space bar has a has a bit of a hollow sound. Did you do anything to it? It's not my keycaps or lubing since the keycaps are DCX BOW which are decent.
You should review the Xinmeng M67 next, it's another contender for the 65% budget board. Here in the Philippines, you can buy one here for as low as $70 when converted to USD
I believe I reviewed a similar board from the same manufacturer with the Yunzii AL66. Yeah, can totally agree that board is up there as one of the better ones I've checked out in the budget space :)
@@makmakg242 For the most part yes, but this Lucky65 just feels noticeably more premium with how the case is manufactured. Stay tuned though cuz I'll be reviewing the Womier SK65, which is basically the same board as this, but pre-built with a volume knob hehe
Hello, nice review ;) I've bought this keeb first impression was great but I am facing a major flaw that there is no way to configure right alt key with the software, I was able to put in the Sugar65 the right alt in the original FN place and the FN key in the Right Ctrl in the sugar with his software, but it seems that in this keyboard with it's own software is imposible, I configure the keys in the soft as I have in the Sugar65 and save and nothing happens... Somebody with the same problem?
I say don't fall for the render just yet, I would wait until you find a review of someone with a Violet unit. I believe Keybored, Wabi Sabi, and Milkcloud are receiving Violet review units :)
Dude I've got a problem. It came today and I installed their software but I can't can't change the mapping of certain keys. Most of the keys don't want to be changed in their app while others do. I can't change FN to be alt or alt to be FN but also I can't change most of normal keys. Any suggestions?
How did you manage to connenct it to the software? I've just built mine and im attempting to connect it but it keeps showing up with the 'No Devices' screen. Really not sure what to do
@@inserthere44 this keyboard is really random. I had to send back my 1st unit because although it did connect with the software it didn't want to change any keys layout. Only rgb...
Waste of time keyboard lacks QMK/VIA sick of these manufacturers thinking everyone owns just one keyboard. When you own multiple and multiple brands you don't want to install every single manufacturers software. Just support at least via even cheap $36 dollar Keychrons are. Why make all these great keyboards and many of your buyers want QMK/VIA that is why its even pointed out on the site that its not supported.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but one of the main reasons is the lack of wireless support for QMK. ZMK is an option but isn't as common or popular. Any wireless board that isn't a keychron or nuphy has a jank JSON via support which isn't as good as true QMK/via. If the QMK maintainers allowed keychrons fork into the main repo it might be a different story. Hope this clarifies why some budget keebs need their own software! Blame the QMK maintainers!
@@nightrunnerks That is good insight I am cool with just VIA support at least I can maintain all my boards with one piece of software. Cidoo, Epomaker, Feker boards are now at least offer VIA support. I don't like using wireless anyway. I have so many boards that I wire them all in anyway and pull the batteries. If phones explode I am sure eventually these batteries will have quality issues at some point as well on cheap manufactured boards. So not worth risking my house for wireless connectivity.
