Considering the price of cerakey keycaps, a full pre-built board for this price is a pretty good deal honestly. I don't know if I'm just blinded by being an enthusiast or not but the value is definitely there
Seems like the $160 nada 65 only comes in a single color scheme while cerakey offers a dozen different keycap styles at $120. You're paying for flexibility. On the other hand black isn't bad, but I'd be all over the 'blue crazed' with a metal shell. Would probably weigh 8 pounds though. Lol.
I actually purchased a set of Cerakeys V2 white with black legends keycaps and am using it on a Keychron Q6 Max keyboard with Kailh Jellyfish Y switches along with some clear Glorious o-rings. The sounds of the keycaps are very silent with maybe a slight ping noise but the overall feel of the caps are a bit awkward only because of how smooth the ceramic material is. The one gripe I have is the F and J keycaps have no homing bars, you would have to purchaser a separate set for $5 plus shipping. other than that I think these are very nice. Also the material allows the RGB on the board to shine through with the help of the clear switches.
@@cerakey if you make a full white keycaps variant or a full black one I would instantly buy it. I dont really like the partly white/black and I think others would like it much more too if they had a choice colorwise
Got mine yesterday. Love it so far. I was curious how it sounds on vertex switches but I can't really hear the difference. The only complain I've got is there is no battery check combination.
One day i hope a company/more companies come into the competition and start selling slightly budget ceramic keycaps. Just like how it is for the keyboard market now.
Love this video! I was wondering if I could have some help in finding good keycaps for my Keeb I currently use a Tecware Phantom+ Elite w/ white and grey doubleshot keycaps. I do wish to find some custom keycaps where they dont look too simple, and the colors matches with the white board. What sets do you recommend? Apologies for the loaded info T^T
Which switches are the most creamy sounding matched with the cerakeys? My mic isn't picking up the difference, all I hear is slightly higher or lower pitch.
Great video, I'm curious what you would think of this keyboard with akko rosewood switches, they are very thocky, more so then the vertex v1 from my testing with ceramic keycaps
Hey Lewis! Thanks again for the amazing review! Do you know the name of the yellow switches that they use (in the space bar)? More specifically the design name of that switch.
Most of that price is from the keycaps though, you're getting a solid deal kinda. I mean everything else looks bottom of the barrel, but it sounds good so there's that. You're essentially paying $24 for the keyboard xD 3
nobody seems to get that (based on the weight) you have to use a 100g spring for the spacebar. not only does this fix the sound issue - but in my opinion you don't have a usabie built before that (from a haptic perspective) clipping a 150g als works if push comes to shove (writing this on one)
Heard cerakey is plagued with crooked/loose stems. What are your thoughts on the value at this price point when other premium budget boards like TKD cycles and Neo series exists?
yeah that was the v1 versions i have this keyboard and with the keycaps i noticed on my one that the bigger keys can tilt to a side if you put enough pressure on it
Also heard v2 has issue with stem alignment affecting twisting and crookedness. Reviews all over reddit unfortunately doesn't inspire much confidence - it's a shame since they look so great in some shots/review videos Almost seems like cerakey sends out perfectly QCed sets to reviewers only
Can you imagine the price what would it be then? Easly 3x more expensive that this. It was actually pretty clever to go with plastic because they could make it shiny and it goes well with shiny keycaps. Yeah you get somewhat imitation of ceramic/glossy case, but considering the price it was the best option to go. I can imagine they try to make full ceramic board in the future as they grow quite nice, but for beginning it's a very solid board, quite fairly prices.
@@maxchopin409 And? I've put in more than 700$ into the keyboard I'm currently using, in the keyboard hobby price isn't a huge problem for those that want it.
@@tukuiPat Yeah, but fortunetely they are kindly enough to not make products only for people that "really want it and willing to pay extra" but also for average consumers that want to try something unique
You should do a review and Top/Bottom Mount build of Rakk Hanan Ultra, that prebuild has taken over Akko ACR in being the cheapest Aluminum Top/Bottom Mount keyboard being sold. Yeah it has gaskets but it also had holes for top/bottomount too, they didnt provide the screws for it for some unknown reasons.
@@alanbanh any porcelain manufacturer could do it easily, fck I bet they just ordered their caps from some manufacturer in China for less than a dollar per cap

this is amazing. just wish they were a bit cheaper 😔😔
for ceramic keycaps, might take awhile for them to lower their price, BUT if they manage to do it the board would go crazy
an A and B set is less than $100 right now bc of black friday
if you can pick some up now it’s a steal!

Hi, that's very cool!
Looking to get a similar set up, able to get in connect with you see some pic of this Board.
Thank you
I wanted to get a ceramic set for a while now. I might order from them soon. I love the video thanks for making it
sounds like the perfect time for you
Thank you soooooo much for create such great content featuring our Nada 65 Panda!!
can you provide it with different color keycaps?
@@joschels Thanks for your interest! We will take it into consideration! :>
@@cerakey if you make a full white keycaps variant or a full black one I would instantly buy it. I dont really like the partly white/black and I think others would like it much more too if they had a choice colorwise
Very fair price considering the manufacturing costs that the keycaps must have
frfr
I really don't understand the fuss about the price considering there is none if you are GMK and put the same tag on ABS.
Can you use these key caps on an HE style board?
As long as the switches are cherry switches they will fit these key caps. Key caps have nothing to do with HE keyboard operations.
Got mine yesterday. Love it so far. I was curious how it sounds on vertex switches but I can't really hear the difference. The only complain I've got is there is no battery check combination.

Really nice quality video!
thanks!

5:07-5:10 The keyboard was so good little bro had a stroke or something.
☠️☠️☠️
Sounds pretty damn good.
yes sir
I ordered this keyboard about 3 weeks ago, its supposed to come soon. Im very excited.
banger
They have 15% off of the panda 65 now I bought one and cannot wait
Thx for the vid
Cheers all
I like the sound of the white keycaps better. They're more creamy whereas the black keycaps sound more thocky
Do you know what switch is used for the spacebar??

are the keycaps cold to touch tho ??? genuinely curious cuz i want ceramic keycaps but idk if they're cold or what
I read very often that they are yes :)
Yup are cold to touch
Which Holy Pandas did you test with?

oooo that might be a banger
hey lewis, great vid! wanna ask if it is worth it to switch to these ceramic keycaps from doubleshot abs ones? thanks
Hey Lewis! Thanks again for the amazing review! Do you know the name of the yellow switches that they use (in the space bar)? More specifically the design name of that switch.
I just got my keyboard, does anyone know where am I suppose to out the USB? Can I plug it into somewhere on the keyboard? Please help
Mine is on the airplane right now I’m so excited 🎉. This is shipped from china
the price tho
Omg its so marbly and thocky , tho wish it was cheaper tho
maybe if they figure out how to produce these keycaps at a lower price!
Most of that price is from the keycaps though, you're getting a solid deal kinda. I mean everything else looks bottom of the barrel, but it sounds good so there's that. You're essentially paying $24 for the keyboard xD 3
LOL
I love the song at the beginning of the video, anybody knows what its name is?
I wish that ceramic key caps were cheaper
everyones mutual wish
Marbles😭😭😭 isn’t it mah jong
yes
yooo all of that for only 159? thats a steal but the spacebar is kind of mushy type of sound
spacebar is always tough but its kinda insane still

What next? Chicken?
Heard cerakey is plagued with crooked/loose stems. What are your thoughts on the value at this price point when other premium budget boards like TKD cycles and Neo series exists?
They fixed that in the V2 keycaps
yeah that was the v1 versions i have this keyboard and with the keycaps i noticed on my one that the bigger keys can tilt to a side if you put enough pressure on it
idk but one review said the cracked ice ines had fit issues becsuse of the extra glaze layer, tho i thinkbthose ones are the prettiest keycaps
Also heard v2 has issue with stem alignment affecting twisting and crookedness. Reviews all over reddit unfortunately doesn't inspire much confidence - it's a shame since they look so great in some shots/review videos

Wooo
can you tell me the best keyboard creamy keyboard that is 65%? i am very broke so i need it cheap like under 50 pounds, thank you
@Gravoli im in the uk my currency is pounds not dollars
Not possible
you "needing it" doesn't make it possible though.
that's the money's part on which your holding an insufficent amount of.
@@CinceTheDay i have a budget of 110 now
The problem I have with ceramic keys is the spacebar is heavy and never sounds right IMO, I own cerakeys and they look/feel very high quality.
Cerakey always sends 2 87g switches for the spacebar.
@@Angelaaa1111 yes they do
the spacebar sounds weirdly thuddy and as if its plastic :(
but the rest is nice sounding
They definitely missed the opportunity to make the case out of ceramic as well rather than cheaping out and going with plastic.

So sad they still just have ansi Layout…

nada means nothing in spanish lol the nothing65
the music is so loud its hard to hear the review
little ceramic shits shouldn't be that expensive
lmao
How about you mold the keycaps, chuck it in a kiln and add lettering and glaze and ensure each one is perfect
