I'm over the budget space. Once you have one you're done. Compared to 300+ boards or even the mode envoy most 100dollar ish boards are just too similar to one another. I would much rather sell all my budget builds and have a 3 or 4 awesome board rotation.
The prebuilt version they sent you sounds amazing for what you're paying, wow. Stabs were a pleasant surprise, even if plate-mounted. Hopefully it is just as easy for buyers to achieve similarly decent-sounding stabs. I'm definitely going to recommend this to some friends who I know are interested in getting a custom keyboard of their own.
I want to ask, do you get stab caps on the final version? Because i see the photo from the website it doesn't look like there's one but all the reviews (including yours) has an option for stab caps
in total I ordered 6 units of blue one. Of 6 units only one was unfaulty. 1 came scratched, 1 came without support rubber on the bottom, 1 came without rgb on capslock and delete key, and other 2 came without working software - couldn't change key layout. Half of them all didn't have working 2.4gHz connection. In one unit after replacing the spacebar stabilizer the whole keyboard stopped working.. It looks so good but the quality is such a distaster that's it's hard to recommend.
probably the pre-production units, I saw somewhere in reddit this guy said that he got his unit in a very bad state, the box came smashed, stabs were horrible, rough and sharp edges, etc. the one i got is excellent, finishing is very good, stabs are perfectly tuned, no rattle whatsoever, and it doesn't sound thin at all. I have QK65 and i think this board offers more value compared to the QK.
I'd be fine with the thinner PCB, after all they gotta cut costs somewhere, but the flex-cuts really ruin the whole thing, they just make the board sound so thin and inconsistent.
@@hmuy0608 actually 1.2mm and 1.6mm pcb arent priced differently, i have had these OEM to manufacture my pcb for quite sometime now and they are the same, it has more to do with the trending and stuffs, these chinese boards can be so cheap because they all use the pcb came from specific OEMs hence why alot of these PCB looks similar and has similar model number. it depends on the OEM which manufactured these pcb, imo they think making these considerably more difficult to make in budget price is more appealling to buyers (for example u can see how chinese do with their smartphones all flashy tech that was meant for flagship line are put into budget line). 1.2mm flex cut pcb is harder to make, yes, because its harder to wire all the traces around those flex cuts and still get them to pass some standard pcb tests, trust me its not as easy as just wire them around the corners there are factors to consider. many early chinese flex cut pcbs i found eventually skip these tests to cut down costs thus leading to some weird failures during daily usage which is unacceptable, they are just as inconsistent as those keyboards made by some random hobbyist which they cant afford to do proper pcb testing
Dude idk how you always come out with such awesome content consistently. But keep it up man

Plate mounted stabs is a non issue considering they're included and good enough anyway. My only gripe is the lack of pink color lol

Did you get the new Neo Ergo yet? Tented Alice for that price seems reeeeaaaally interesting.
It only cost about $40 when ordering on taobao! Great board anyway
How to order from it everything is in Chinese xd
w/ shipping price included?
My first came with no wireless mode working. Second with scratches and not working rgb on some keys. The quality is really poor
adding foam to a flex cur pcb is fucking pointless
I'm kinda new to the hobby so can you please elaborate why?

quality content, i saw your interest check on their website lol
Aye!! Another vid
second
How are the coconut latte switches? they seem very competitively priced
KTT's newest linear. Very smooth and clacky (so much better than Kang Whites, people still recommend those Jesus) quite loud though
@@Sylveighty thanks for info, I’m deciding between them and the MZ Z1. Kinda prefer the sound of MZ Z1 for clack
if you're buying MZ Z1s might as well go for their MZ Y1s or MZ Studio x HMX Deep Navy for a little bit more
@@Sylveighty thanks for the info, I'll definitely give them a look
1.2mm PCB with flex-cuts? No, thanks. All these beautiful, budget aluminium boards ruined by foam and flex-cuts
Cry about it
@@lordzeus6127 Why would I cry over this?

@@hmuy0608 1.2 gets a pass but flex-cuts should be banned
