- Keyboard #1 Ikki68 Aurora:
It goes up for sale pretty regularly and is my personal favorite. Tons of ways to customize the build without the need to buy extra stuff, like gaskets, foam, etc. This particular layout may not be for everyone though! It's also hotswap & lightweight.
Keyboard #2 QK65: PS I LOOKED AT THE WRONG PRICE FOR THIS its 150, see the pinned comment!
The new hype for budget custom keyboards. By far the prettiest build & it also features lots of stuff in the box to help customize the board. This was the nicest sounding board out of the three and easiest to build. I also loved the finishes it comes in.
Keyboard #3 Zoom65:
To me, this was the weakest of the three boards as I found you almost needed the included foam to reduce the thin sound profile when using no foam. It did have a nice typing feel and cool finish, but it didn't feel as premium as the other boards.
I MADE A BOO BOO AND LOOKED AT EURO INSTEAD OF USD FOR QK65 ITS 150 (before shipping)
I AM SO SORRY 😢
U good
where did u get that gold badge on the top right of the qk65
@@gavnwitane8189 it's a knob
@@gavnwitane8189 its just an artist keycap I'm pretty sure
what switches are those
3 budget out of stock keebs. :)
Ikki is in stock brother
@@ts99forever where? it's a gb already closed and out of stock on most vendors I know.
@@iM7SnaKe wuque studios but only blue and wireless
My local vendors have them regularly instock, might need to check who’s your local vendors that works with Wuque
@@z4k1_zaki65 how does one find a local vendor
sheaa personally im a fan of ikki and qk65. Keep pumping out content alexotos, we love your videos
AHHH I HATE SEEING NICE KEYBOARDS AND LOOKING THEM UP ONLY TO SEE THAT THEY WERE FOR SALE A FULL YEAR AGO
Bruh, that badge on ikki is so cleaaaaan!
You know a hobby is expensive when 200$ is budget
budget really means your limit on what you're gonna spend tbh
@@rab6325so the content is useless
@@AxelS5304 not really. You can go way under 200 and get a really nice keyboard. it's just relatively speaking, compared to people who spend 500 or upwards of 1000 for their custom keyboards, which is a good chunk of the premium customs.
@@rab6325 yeah but that has nothing to do with what I said
actual "budget" is more like 100 dollars
I'm really happy that they're all 65% keebs cause that's my fav size but they're all out of stock 😭 I probably would've gone with the zoom65 purely for that volume knob tho, so much practicality in it
Do 75% keyboards next thanks
underrated comment
Dang ok ok!
@@alexotos I love your vids BRO and ty
@@Zarazkowy overrated *
TKLs after 75%
70%! I need more obscure layout shorts!
69% master race
Eyy I got the same colours for my QK65, I just have to wait for my missing gaskets to arrive lmao
Hoping GMK Botanical 2 (desert alphas) will look perfect on it, when it eventually gets to me.
My question is: Why is the Ikki68 better than the QK65 if the QK has better typing feel and sound, and still has lots of customizability?
I mean feel and sound is preference but idk why he said that lol. Ikki should be a flexier experience and the qk is a stiffer experience and the sounds are different entirely
On some usb-c boards, the cable requires an adapter for the phone. Usb-c to usb-c doesn't necessarily work because of the wire config. That means the board doesn't have a true usb-c controller, just a traditional USB hacked to the port. Cheaper boards will do this. A detail very difficult to discover until after purchase.
The keyboard community literally doesn’t know the word “Midrange” exists.
Midrange is around $500 in the keyboard community, so yes, they do know what it means.
@@immfi then why have I never once heard a keyboard RUclipsr say it
@@leapfork just because someone doesn't say something doesn't at all mean they don't know what it means.
@@leapfork keyboard youtubers also unnecessarily push budget keyboards
@@immfi that’s so true, it is a great way too get into the hobby though
A unique one that is also in this price range in the bakaneko, with it's o-ring mounting style.
ikki ended, zoom ended, qk wont leave me with enough money to buy keycaps bc shipping is hell. So i’m just going with the bakeneko and seeing what i can do with that 🤷♂️
The zoom is gonna have another drop
@@playingwithfrosty3219 do you know when ? 👌🏼
QK will have another unlimited release as well. I'm guessing this month.
Went with the Zoom for the Bluetooth, but have been recommending the QK65
if you prefer bluetooth, go with zoom65 imo
Can't wait for my QK65!! 😀
Also, that deskmat is beautiful. Where did you get it?
Its the pastel clouds deskmat from kinetic labs
Or from etsi
Skeleton shivering
Bro the ikki sounds like mr krabs walking
Amazing keyboard
My personal favorite is the QK65.
Are custom keyboards good for gaming? All i want is a higher polling rate and a creamy sound
polling rate is such a marketing term. Don’t fall for those petty slogans about how fast something is. Get a wooting for gaming, which is an actual game changer
The Ikki68 Aurora is really cool, I just wished they made a full metal case.
What keycaps did you put on the Zoom65?
all.caps Starter pbt
@@SteashEdits omg thanks, couldnt find it by searching "all green keycaps" lol
@@wojwesoly hahah yeah I had to ask in a discord
what is that badge you have on your qk65? :o
His own logo
I accidentally purchased 2 extra "Tromso" Bluetooth 5.1 PCBs for the Wuque Studio ikki68 Aurora if anyone needs/wants one.
Extremely well made with compatibility for just about every key configuration like option to use stepped Caps Lock key or regular caps lock.
It's hotswap, per key RGB LED back lit, JST connector for a common Li-Ion battery that just plugs right in.
Late to the game lol, do you still have the extra ? I’m ok with buying it if you have it, had a small accident in my home and my old pcb got fried :(
Baby it’s the black business, it’s the black business.
Build a ikki68 r2 right now can’t wait it’s nice oh and stabilizers don’t come with it so you know..
Only bummer is that these are not tkl 80%. I would never get a 65% board.
Ye these keyboard sound all good but when i want to build a qk65 well get ready for expensive shipping to serbia
Sounds like building in lego games
What are the keycaps called for the zoom65?
Alex no toes got that youtube voice on point!
Dude the switches you used and did you use all foam with zoom 65. Mine sounds way way better than that.
Is there any budget keyboard that has a bluetooth option, stepped caps support and is not the Zoom 65 or the 68 Aurora?
And imo the QK65 looks MEGA in white with blue weight.
Alex, what's that little pyramid artisan you had on the QK65?
I really need one of these keyboards just to have some outemu blues
What are the matcha keycaps on the last keyboard?
They all sounds like Mr.Krabs walking 😂😂
waiting for that q65 restock. how about budget keycaps that aren’t gmk 2 year wait time
Alex, would you recommend zoom 65 over keychron q2 which also has a knob?
They needto bring ikki68 mizu back
The cheapest you can get a qk65 is like 150 dollars I think, and with shipping comes around to 210 dollars
Yeah I may have looked at the wrong sheet for pricing but with shipping to me it was around 195 - technically with all of these with shipping and tax they are all over 200 for me. Too many factors for that depending on location :
Any 60% keyboards that sound and look amazing like these ?
even though it is 65%, i can recommend the kbd67 lite r3
What cable do you use I love it!
What keycaps did you put on the zoom 65?
200 dallaaaa... you do not need to mod it at that price range, they better make them that.
What do u think of swift65 or sequence65? is better than qk or zoom?
What's your mouse pad it looks super clean.
Best keyboards between $200-$300
Is this the keyboard just by itself? Or did you mod it
Dude the first one sounds like cartoon bones rattling
3 great Alice boards :')
Can i have the exact spec for the QK65? I loveeeee that clacky sound
have u figured dit out?
can you find one with a wooden case pls lol i want a wooden case very bad because it makes the sound waaaay better in my opinion.
knob rules
Makes me feel a bit better going for the ikki68 over the Zoom65
I just got used ikki zen pond edition, but was thinking if i made the right choice as zoom is really good out of the box. I'm not super happy with my current ikki setup as it sounds very muted and maybe too bouncy, so I'll definitely need to play around. This video gave me confidence tho. Just hope to find some tips for ikki tuning
Where can I get the metal keycap on the qk65
QK65 keycaps?
I'm having a hard time deciding between the zoom65 essentials edition vs the qk65, what are your thoughts? Right now it's aesthetics (Navy blue zoom) vs quality (qk)
Qk
I'm waiting for my Zoom65, after ordering it I noticed Qk65. I think I prefer kb without knob, ano is better than pvd, but I like that 'iron cast' finish on zoom65. Also, zoom is arriving with more things, cause switches plus pbt olivia set.
ayo i saw you asking abt this in the hippyo discord a few times, good luck with your decision, I personally think about whether or not you would regret missing the aesthetic or the quality after getting one or the other
@@LeorioForPres ya I'm just asking for everyone's opinions, tbh what you said is true
How did you get the QK65 to sound clacky?
I think you got the price wrong for the qk65, but still good video nonetheless
Thanks! Yeah come to think of it I may have looked at an old document so that’s on me! It’s still under 200 dollars tho!
@@alexotos yeah, the one I ordered came out to $200 flat with shipping included but still such a good board, with or without shipping
@@the_maximaal yeah it’s amazing and I see what I did wrong I looked at the euro column for pricing LOL 😂 brain fart
@@alexotos all good man haha, this is gonna be my first enthusiast board so I'm hyped
@@the_maximaal I’m so stoked for you! It’s honestly amazing for what it is and I’ve been using it pretty frequently
Any 100% keyboards?
About the Zoom65, what is the color of the keycaps? Plz
Anyone else hate how these sound?
What are the switches on the ikki 68?
Is that a number pad over there at the top right corner?
Is the neo 65 hood?
How about sugar65?
Build on the ikki?
What are those keycaps on the zoom65?
Olivia pbt, licensed, shipping with whole build
@@Zarazkowy nah the green ones
Oh sure, my bad @alexotos could tell
@@Zarazkowy apparently it is all.caps Starter pbt
I don’t know why but I read it like 200 budget keyboards under 3 dollars
whats the full spec of the ikki
How do these compare to the tiger80 lite and gas67
Keycaps?
Are there any of them at black and white
Hey may I know where you got the qk65 blocker?
can you do 100 bucks or lower
Ah yes, budget
What are those green keycaps???
R these good for gaming?
Under $200 if you already have the other parts to finish the build. I bought the Zoom65 v2 for $230 (tax + shipping included), then had to spend more on switches and keycap set since this if my first custom keyboard. Probably my last too since they're so expensive and I personally don't see the need for more than one.
WHAT SWITCHES ARE THOSE?! (I need to know)
Are they all mechanical ?
which edition of the ikki68 aurora is that tho??
Are you going to be trying the parallel sequence?
how on earth does one buy a zoom 65 :
Where did you get the green keycaps?
Name of the Keycap set on the zoom65?
sigh why do i have all 3 on order..?
Cool but why does no keeb youtubers do tkl
What keycaps on the qk65?
Do you know what budget means
so nice
what is your colorway and badge of your ikki68
I have a question for the zoom65 does it come with everything needed to assemble
There is a variant of the zoom65 that comes with switches and keycaps but there are also barebones kits. they aren't constantly available but there are restocks decently often. That being said I think there was a restock recently so it might be a while. I would check with the studio.
The essential edition of the zoom65, which is/was the latest version on sale, does/did NOT include switches and keycaps.
The olivia and dark olivia edition came with keycaps and jwick switches but did not have the bluetooth feature added.
can someone tell me the name of the backgroung song that is playing?
What are the switches on the first one.
Shats your sound amp?
How can i get the QK65 i cannot find it anywhere
