The Zoom75 sounds good without foam, the QK arguably does not - to me at least. I agree with your thoughts on the design though, I like the QK a lot better in the regard.
in terms of sound, if you like that marbly sound then qk is the only thing you need and it will be the best at it on this price range. the zoom is much more versatile and it sounds great on a lot more configuration, with or without foam.
I got the QK75 as my first custom keyboard and I am not at all disappointed, tho the final build cost me around the $550 mark due to all the high shipping and import charges.
Making any keyboard sound good is stupid easy. The problem is the quality of the board itself, its case, and the components in the kit. The problem with these Chinese owned companies is the software you need to run on your PC for that screen to do squat. The second ASUS offers an all aluminum case and hall-effect switches they will own the gamer keyboard market segment. Also, I hate when a USB is dead center of the keyboard. I'm right-handed so I want it on the left.
Funny that you've got the kabukicho keycaps on the qk, I picked up a set for the teal zoom 75 I ordered. Pretty excited for it. Out of the big 3, jris qk and zoom, zoom 75 was the only one I could order with zero compromise. Full tri mode, full rgb, and ISO support
Hey CG! Do you remember me from your Zoom75 Livestream? I was suggesting you put some Akko v3 Jelly Blues in there. I'd still love to see that, but this was a great video!
One thing to consider too is dimensions and typing angle. Qk75 has 8 degree typing angle vs Zoom 75 which is 5 degree typing angle. That can be a big deciding factor for some.
I prefer the format and styling of the QK75, exploded keebs ftw. Plus the Canadian Meletrix vendor is pretty terrible at handling GBs, to the point that I wasn't even willing to consider the zoom75 even though the colors are way more attractive, I did look at direct buy from Meletrix but it was something like $100 more expensive so hard no on that.
Really want to see you branch out into things on other than keyboards. You’re an interesting and intelligent dude and even though your interest in keyboards in decreasing Id still love to get content that you are passionate about.
I ordered both even though I have the Sonnet and other endgames boards (lol). Insane value for money and the explosion of this hobby led us to this price point, it's a great time for anyone to enter the hobby now!
I'm in camp that dislikes exploded, I like the tighter, more monolithic aesthetic of non-exploded arrow keys and nav. I kinda wanted to try a midrange board before going all in on a Sonnet or Tomo. Exploded on the QK looks like a giant letter "I"
"I'm not gonna waste your time with random facts" proceeds to point out every single feature in the zoom75 we've all heard about in dozens of zoom75 videos. Even with a "are you ready for this? It has a screen" like woah dude omg really? You don't say!
Brother.. what do you want me to say? Sorry that I didn’t do exactly what you wanted me to.. and that a talked about the best part of the keyboard.. oh and by the way did you know the zoom75 has a screen? It’s sick!
@@AustinPegoda lol i know man. I got into the GB back in april, was it? anyways, i just found funny how you said you were cutting right into the meat of things and then you didn't. Loved the video.
