What material do you use for holee mod? i tried bandaids, tape, eletrical tape.... and even TFLON tape. none of them seems to work on my k8 stock stabs, it stops being rattle but gets too mushy or the wire doesnt even fit in the housing
@@ForDreeam The tape could be hanging out too much off the edge, or folding in some places. I know exactly what you mean... maybe the width of the tape you were using was too wide? Hard to say. I used athletic tape and was thinking of trying out electrical tape next since there should be less friction.
I’m very excited for mine to come in! I’ve got Ink Black V2s (Krytox 205g0 + Deskeys) w/ Durok V2 stabs (Krytox 205g0). Super stoked to put it all together!
Your vids popping up in recommended is what made me look in to the hobby. Got a transparent black 67ltie on the way with Gat black inks, durock v2s, 205g0, KAT Eternal and a custom Eternal theme cable. Already been using the keycaps and cable on my Anne Pro 2 but can't wait to build my own custom.
Some points to note: R2 has standoffs on the plate itself, which is injection moulded not cnc'd. R2 is slightly more stiff but sounds a little thockier as well.
As someone who's been irresponsibly collecting keebs for like five years now, I don't think you could have made a better choice. ABS plastic case and all, this thing absolutely dumps on the rest of my stable when it comes to sound and feel. It's just so good!
Great review as always! The professionalism of your videos is unbelievable and you can tell by just watching the intros that you put a lot of effort into them. I do think you could work on your masking as it's distracting to see such flawless shots and compositions while the masks clip into the objects. It may not really impact the video as a whole but I think that it's something you should look into for that extra flare. It may be really tedious but if done in small bursts, it will pay off in the long run. Good stuff and I hope you have a speedy recovery!
Hey! Great video overall but I would suggest using your right hand to test the stabilizers on the right side. When you were doing the sound test your hand was blocking the view of the right side stabilizers. Small thing but it would make it slightly better. Great video, much love ❤️
I ordered this board few days ago, with durocks v2, so excited! :D This will be my first true custom, although I started modding some off-shelf boards that I have, and it's also a fun experience. Learned a lot (and messed up one of the boards that I had for long time and liked it :
@@andrewmartin1829 I wasn't that impressed at first, but that was not an issue with the case itself. It's cool for its price and I daily drive it now :)
My mum requires Bluetooth for her boards so the battery option is definitely welcome even if you have to trade out VIA; we were originally trying to do a hot swap 65% iso Bluetooth board, but iso took the hit in favour of the other things. If capsunlocked gave a battery option (or we'd waited a bit for the new Ikki) shed have joined me on the GB
great video as always, i definitely recommend the kbd67 lite over the nk65 mainly due to the quality of the board, my nk65 had cracks when it first arrived and i didnt like that so i returned it, when i saw the kbd67 lite had screw in stabs, im sold
Personally I would like a bluetooth feature on my boards. I always use a cable when I'm using it with my PC but having bluetooth is very versatile when you want to use the keyboard with other gadgets like an ipad, phone or smart TVs. Too bad most of the high end kits don't offer this.
I’m new to this channel, and keyboards in general, but I think it’d be really cool if you made random subscriber a custom keyboard. Just an idea. Love the videos!
Glasses did that. I personally don't think that'll happen unless everything gets shipped to him. Also shipping can be expensive. Some countries you will need a middle person for shipping. It seems like a good idea, but pricing really gets annoying.
I just actually picked up this kit today here in Taipei. Looking forward to building up my first custom. Looking at switches and caps now, and stabs too.
bluetooth definitely super important to me, I get into the hobby cause I was looking for nice bluetooth keyboard for my ipad ended up with rk84 and modded it real nice with anegao keycaps (y)
They now sell silicone for the bottom of the case that is sold as a extra and not included in the kit. It cost $18 extra but I think it’s definitely worth the extra cost.
This actually makes the NK EE so useless. Screw in stabs + the blocker make it so much more worth it. They really really REALLY should keep it in stock. And not just group buys
I'm in love with this keyboard and thats saying alot since I don't even have it but I love it especially with the linears and the way you made it sound
@@sEaNoYeAh i like those switches like gateron inks with the deeper sounds so I’m not sure if I wanna get some rose red switches. From what I heard they sound pretty good but I’m not sure if it’ll fit what I like
Wow that first shot of the keeb and the carambit was very nice good work my friend you caught my attention hella hard now time for the rest of the vid😋😁
The reason this board has the gasket mount implementation it does, is due to the Rama Works' U80-A "mute" design that was introduced when it was being designed. Most of Kbdfans stuff is ripped from other designers -- the Tofu being a clone of the Mekanisk Klippe for instance. I have a hard time supporting Kbdfans and other Chinese designers/vendors as they take good original ideas from designers that have become popular, clone them, and use their country's cheap labor (relative to US and Europe) to sell ton's of boards at non competitive prices.
Eid mubarak! even tho i'm new to the channel and discord i live your videos, your amazing keep it up lots of love being sent to you and your family have a great year :).
Hey guys, I do just want to add that with the holee mod, I used 205g0 and NOT XHT BDZ, I’m sorry for not making that clearer!
it fine
still sounds like heaven
Used your holee mod tutorial to mod my friend’s keyboard the other week. Worked like a charm 🐙
What material do you use for holee mod? i tried bandaids, tape, eletrical tape.... and even TFLON tape.

@Aaron J. Widjaja the only downside of the KBD67lite vs NK65 EE is the case material, ABS VS PC, other than that the KBD67lite wins.
Hamaji made me find a new addiction i cant stop watching these

Rip our wallets

Your intros are getting better and better man. Keep up the good work, and don't forget to take a break every now and then :)
WHO ARE YOU
The intros and scenery just keeps getting better
Im building this exact keyboard when the parts arrive! Same keycaps, switches and the 67 Lite.
Epic preview of what it’s going to be
You getting the tactiles or the linears?
What keycaps are those..? The link he provided is not working/error 404.

you lucky bastard its sold out right now
I love the black and white contrast on that :D
Awesome review hamaji, conveyed great info and in a clear manner. Board sounds great as well👍
Tip: Use the stabilizer foam for holee modding. Super effective!

I've been waiting for this for so long thank you
My wallet already hurts, hamaji. Why must you do this to me
Because I’m going to eat you
“budget” and “custom” dont always come together so this is such great news!!
that spacebar sound... holy moly thats so asmr xD
This was a very well done review. Your edits are always so good.

Just got one for my first mechanical keyboard ever and you're absolutely right IT'S SO GOOD! lol.
my god the editing is crispy as fuck
I just actually picked up this kit today here in Taipei. Looking forward to building up my first custom. Looking at switches and caps now, and stabs too.
ok the fact that it comes with good stabs and a case AND FOAM makes sells me on buying this
I got the r1 and recently changed my switches from gat yellow to the alpacas and it sounds amazing! Such a great budget board!
the entire premiere chat spammed SHEEEEEESH during the sound test lol

bluetooth definitely super important to me, I get into the hobby cause I was looking for nice bluetooth keyboard for my ipad

just for your Information - I just received mine and now the have a braided USB C Wire :)
Video getting better man! Great job!
I’ve gotta be honest, out of all the you tubers I’ve seen that do keyboard builds you are the best. Keep up the good work my man👍👍
They now sell silicone for the bottom of the case that is sold as a extra and not included in the kit. It cost $18 extra but I think it’s definitely worth the extra cost.
would you be able to make a tier list ranking all of the keyboards you found interesting in the past 2-3 years from S to D tier?
I just lubed housings of stabs while on board and my stabs are best stock I've ever used.
Loved that number line to compare the prices
This actually makes the NK EE so useless. Screw in stabs + the blocker make it so much more worth it.
They really really REALLY should keep it in stock. And not just group buys
this should be on the news he is so crazy how he could do this keep up the good work
i just love how clean the finished product looks
everybody gangsta until hamaji neo just casually has a karambit on his desk
OMG the THOCK on that backspace! Gave me chills!
Yes you finally did a video on this board thank you.

Can you do a review of the Akko cs switches? This keyboard sounds so nice
I've been super impressed with the Akko CS switches. Like, super impressed. Might be just me but I like the ocean blue tactiles more than zealios.
@@sEaNoYeAh i like those switches like gateron inks with the deeper sounds so I’m not sure if I wanna get some rose red switches. From what I heard they sound pretty good but I’m not sure if it’ll fit what I like
Glad I ordered this ngl so excited
Sounds very nice, recommend tape modding and lubing switches, makes it sound thocky
KBDFans made a lite version of D60, it has HHKB layout and true gasket-mounting
Patiently waiting for mine to arrive
Wow that first shot of the keeb and the carambit was very nice good work my friend you caught my attention hella hard now time for the rest of the vid😋😁
hey hamaji! awesome video - I was just wondering, do you know what deskmat you used in the thumbnail? It looks awesome!
Just picked one up before watching this review. Crazy coincidence! Thanks
The sound profile really said "THOCC"
Id love to see a top ten DIY kits from you
Nothing better than a hamaji neo video before sleeping
I love my kbd67 lite! I have kiwis lubed with 205g0 filmed with deskeys and it feels great on gmk laser.
Waiting for mine to arrive! Goodluck on securing a slot..

Hamaji Neo, make a tutorial for wire balancing please
You should see the Kprepublic BM65! Good beginner board + pcb mount but north facing switches. PCB only for ~$60
Hamaji Neo: you won't see the kbdfans logo while using it anyway
Mode 80 users: i love my shiny bottom
BRO THAT INTRO IS INSANE WTH
i wish all stock stabs sounds like that
ehhh depends
loved the review, can't wait to get mine
Everyone: I love the keyboard!
Me: why tf is there a karambit on the desk
Hamaji just has a karambit slaughter laying around
Hamaji neo u inspired me to make my own keyboard it’s a ducky12 mini with black switches purple tang keycaps and extra lubbeeeee
More budget board reviews please!!!
I love how the 70 dollar gk61xs alluminium case kit comes with alluminium case and plate but this 110 dollar one doesn lol
R3 is happening right now, will probs get this
0:19 Bacon Karambit LMAo
One of my fav keyboard vids👍🏻❤️
I love the red karambit!
clean af like always
Ive only built two board both with plate mounted stabs so I'm not to suprised but the stock cherry stabs sound better than mine which I spent hours on
The Japanese symbol key caps would look great on that!
KuroShiro?
good lord that intro was nice
damn the stock stabs r insane
holy crap that sounds amazing, cracked budget board
You can't go wrong with this keyboard
good video brotha, but pretty sure filleted is pronounce fil ayed not fil et ed
What’s your favorite switch? Trying to get a few to try them out
Strange question but does anyone know where I can buy that teal coloured tray he has on his desk
Hey Hamaji, just curious about your right hand ring... where did you get it? :)
What is the difference between custom keyboards and prebuilt?
To imagine if I could've had a board this affordable and nice when I first got into boards...
The KAT Profile is amazing!
So this video premieres right when my class starts. So do I watch the video or go to class? Eh, English can wait I wanna watch some keyboard shit
Backspace tho 🤤🤤… Best marbly build ever?
I missed the group buy :(
That karambit looks good where can I buy it
