bought the sugar65 after watching lewis' video on it. cost me roughly SGD$50 incl shipping for the kit. total with a keycap set and mz z1 switches i paid less than $SGD110. just for comparison, my previous tm680 build cost me roughly $180. sugar65 was better in every aspect.
Cycle8 (TKL) got announced on zFrontier about a week or 2 ago. It's looking like a cycle7 repeat in all the best ways, I know for sure I'm going to snag one for myself. The layout was the only thing keeping me from picking up a cycle7, so the same board in a TKL layout is an absolute slam dunk for me.
Ordered the Sugar65 on Taobao after seeing your video, and got some Evangelion keycaps and MZ Z1 switches for it on Taobao as well. Overall it came out to around $70 SGD, and still waiting for the kit itself to arrive. Looking forward to it :)
thanks for this year in review video! I’d say for gummy o ring, I think 65% boards do that mounting style a disservice because you lose some of the bounciness / feel because of having to wrap the o ring around the blocker. a 60% gummy o ring definitely feels more comfortable than a 65% in my experience! It’s not a mounting style that lends itself to lower pitched / muted sounds like a plate mounted gasket, but it can sound very clean imo!
Hey guys. I use Mac software and i'm not sure what keyboard to buy. I have a Keychron Q1 Pro right now but i'm looking to expand my collection! Please leave suggestions below if you can.
It's not misleading. He DID do his top 5 switches. Also, everything is time-stamped, so just jump to the part with the switches, if that's what you're interested in. If you want more sound test without him talking, go watch the videos where he reviews the switches specifically... Feedback addressed! You're welcome!
i just bought the hi75 like yesterday, im new to the keyboard scene, i didnt know it was a good keyboard for its price, i picked it up due to its sound ( a store in my city had them on display for me to try to type on it ), im pretty happy with my decision, now i just want a switch that can thock and fast for gaming, i was recommended to use the leobog graywood v4, so im using that for now, but if there are even faster switches that thock as well, pls recommend
The Glacier80 is one of those boards that I am kind of bummed on missing out on. Now that I have more money, I am considering picking it up off the grey market. Also can you not get a replacement LCD screen for the Zoom75?
i've tried switches like gateron ink blackv2, aquakings, boba LT but have sold them off cuz theyre mid. rn i have the prevail epsilons(super thocky and deep), prevail nebulas(smoother lighter version that isnt as thocky) but my FAVORITE SWITCH OF THIS YEAR HAS TO BE THE nlandkeys/ BSUN flower shadow switches. theyre entirely made of LY and is super duper smooth, light, bouncy/ responsive and thocky/ creamy. im using them stock(factory prelubed) and theyre as good as or even better than all the other switches i've mentioned above, u should def give them a try!!!!!!! it deserves more hype and recognition
Feedback: might want to provide text graphics labeling the keyboard/switches you are talking about, you talk so fast and with the accent I heard very few keyboard/switch names clearly. Thanks for the video, nonetheless!
Question about Vertex v1 studio switches... Are they can pass rgb light through? I like how they sound but I need rgb coz I often play games or work in a dark room.
So I need to look on something else. What switches you reccomend for low tocky sound that support RGB well? And are they need lubing or not? Thank you very much in advance. 👍
@@DuskoJovic For the same budget price range as Vertex, I would recommend Gateron G Pro 3.0. Not only they are super RGB friendly but also, they have pre-lubed for instant use if you don't have time or tools for modding.
@@DuskoJovic Red, Black, Yellow, White is Linear. They operate the same, just different in term of force. Brown on the other hand is Tactile. Silver is Linear, but it's a bit different from the rest of those Linear above because it's a switch designed for gaming with short travel and light force. Hoped this help you :D.

SHIIIII I NEED IT
@@LewisToh6:06 China GB starts tomorrow till Jan 6th
Lots of amazing colors and this will be the last of the cycle series
I feel like the missing F13 is the biggest downside of the Cycle8
@@TemProduction Do you know if there will be a later GB for Europe?
@@BlueSaturnn yes international GB will happen maybe around March or April
That's my guess
I actually looked up ur 2022 video yesterday and now the new version pops up! Good luck with your yt adventure
Vertex v1 with 205g0 are my endgame switches so far. Deep, smooth, little wobble, and affordable. Great time to be in the hobby
yes, fellow enjoyer

Look for QK65 V2 or wait for Neo80
Please look at the AULA F75. I think you will love it
Thank you for putting theses amazing switches my vertex v1 are shipping out soon! thank you.

Great vid and just in time for my first keyboard build! Thanks for the video!
Lewis you are the goat
The production quality of these videos is absolutely insane, great work!!
thanks man!
Just make the videos you want, most of us will enjoy your videos anyway!
thank you ❤️
Video title starts at 9:43 btw
@11:36 if that is your board and you lubed the stabilizers, then there is way too much lube on them !
You should def try the Loga ChaThai/NomYen switches, rlly nice.
my favourite switches are the mdd princess tactile at the time, i love the short heavy bump
Apparently, Cycle8 is coming out soon, it's a TKL and the images they released are really cool 😫
GRRRR
Cooool. Thanks for you opinion. ❤
For people in Europe: HI75 is available to us at around 100EUR shipped. Sugar 65 is not available.
those transitions were insane
nice vid! are you gonna review the qk65v2? looks interesting
What is the best budget keyboard of 2023 ?
Leobog hi75
Sugar65
Potentially the new Rainy75
infi75 as well
If you don't mind Alice layout record alice is great
I joined the neo65 gb after joining the cycle7 groupbuy, can't wait for both to arrive!
I just got mine yesterday! It’s gorgeous
have you tried yunzii AL66/71? Hope to see a review on it!
Will you end up reviewing Polar 65 anytime soon?
Dangg was hoping for neo65 to have its appearance here 🥹 but still awesome content 🤙🏻
happy new year.

which switches did you use for the glacier80?
the SOTC switches
the sugar 65 in US cost around 70$ and it has 50$ shipping.
you should try rainy 75, it's crazy.
i should
What's your keycaps with bunny?
The Glacier80 is one of those boards that I am kind of bummed on missing out on. Now that I have more money, I am considering picking it up off the grey market.
Also can you not get a replacement LCD screen for the Zoom75?
The glacier 80 was nice when i had it but theres a major issue. The middle seam is horrible by todays seamless/screweless standards.
i would appreciate if you would make a best budget keyboard video similar to boardzy's best budget mouse video!
Your personal channel link doesn't seem to be working?
thank you for this it is very good to know
my vertex switches just came in today 😮 i also bought a sugar65 for a friend 😅

@@lenospre from taobao

@@lenospre you can search the term 'V1 轴"
Did u try the ws morandi switches? Or should I get the vertex v1s
man what about the rainy 75 haha
i've tried switches like gateron ink blackv2, aquakings, boba LT but have sold them off cuz theyre mid. rn i have the prevail epsilons(super thocky and deep), prevail nebulas(smoother lighter version that isnt as thocky) but my FAVORITE SWITCH OF THIS YEAR HAS TO BE THE nlandkeys/ BSUN flower shadow switches. theyre entirely made of LY and is super duper smooth, light, bouncy/ responsive and thocky/ creamy. im using them stock(factory prelubed) and theyre as good as or even better than all the other switches i've mentioned above, u should def give them a try!!!!!!! it deserves more hype and recognition
U should try m71 is full aluminium and budget friendly with gasket
Better mounting styles than Gummy Oring? Yeah right.
I see more and more LCD keyboards. incoming trend?
for sure
what the keyboard brand name for 7:33 ?
How does the vertex v1 sound compared to other thocky switches like the gateron ink blacks?
Great video! I am trying to build keyboard myself.
You should!
@@LewisToh I have a question. Do you know a good store with parts for a keyboard that ships to eu with no import fees?
Hi Lewis pls review the Cidoo abm066? Its the budget Alice keyboard
Any thoughts on FNK V81 plus? :)
bro said switches and were yapping about keyboards for 9 min out of 13 min long video
My Cycle7 shipping schedule is in mid-January and now there's Cycle8 that has TKL layout 😅
where did you find that?
how do you have a top switches video without the names/text of said switches ANYWHERE?
holyy what are those keycaps on 7:40 ?
GMK Bushido
Can u recommand me a good set of keycaps with english and japanese letters , purple,pink or blue color under 40$ ?
yo lewis can you review the mz z1 switches? its super cheap at only 0.15 usd per switch
where can i buy the vertex v1 switches ive looked everywhere and dont want to buy them from amazon ;-;
Love the video please try the monsgeel ice75 its a full clear polycarbate keyboard for $70 with a unique sound profile

Still waiting for my Cycle7 to ship :(
how do people find sugar65 on $30 lol its like $50 (SGD$66) here
I purchase the sugar 65 after I watch the video I am going to filming them for my channel
i saw the sugar65 for 219 yuan (thus 30 dollars)
my guy
The Epomaker TH80 SE is a really good keyboard, its wired/wireless with usb-c. I got it with the gateron pro blacks, and it sounds wonderful!
Nah, the hyacinth v2u beat the vertex v1 in every way possible
👍
Aite time to buy more op from you
Question about Vertex v1 studio switches... Are they can pass rgb light through? I like how they sound but I need rgb coz I often play games or work in a dark room.
RGB light can pass but not very strong, unfortunately. Vertex V1's housing is not RGB friendly due to it housing design and color.

Is this the wrong video for the title?
Bro you have to put the switch names on screen. NO ONE can tell wtf you’re saying when you spit the switch name out so fast
