      "Entry Level" is kind of a misnomer. It's cheap for a custom, but any custom at all is potentially a normal person's endgame. There's not much more you could expect from a keyboard, maybe ESD protection and a different mounting style, and with TKC/Dixie/KBDFans/Rama going the NK65 route, you'll be able to get that for a decent price too,

    I think the kbd67lite will be a great contender for nk65. And with the screw in stabs, blocker on the bottom row in 67lite, it would be very awesome entry-level. It's just like a budget version of 67mkII..
    But well, let's see how the actual 67lite turns out.

  • @hucklejoko4838
    @hucklejoko4838 3 года назад

    U mean the $99, NK65-Cracked Edition? But for real, this is coming from someone who just got into mech keebs and was very excited into getting my first ever "entry enthusiast build".
    Keep in mind that there may be more micro cracks within the screw holes and it may lead to bigger cracks in the future. Mine only showed 1 crack near the top of the backspace key but after more than a month of using it daily, more cracks showed up in the corners and the hear the screw in the space-bar. While this is maybe covered in the acceptable quality standards of NovelKeys you are not guaranteed to have a perfect board in the long run. A lot of people in my local community who got the NK65 EE(2nd drop) has reported the same thing and its not an isolated case. I feel like NK really could have done a better QC. Just because they are offering one of the best budget products doesnt mean they could skimp out on their QC. With that said I actually have better hopes for the KBD67 Lite as they offer a plastic case and in proper use I cant see it cracking just as how polycarb does.

    AHHH if I had just watched this video just a week sooner I wouldn’t have spent a bunch of money on an albeit good but not premium Razer keyboard! $195 for a Razer board or even less for something better! Damn.
