  • DISCLAIMER: This board was sent over by Qwertykeys for the purpose of todays video, but all thoughts are my own, and they are seeing the video at the same time you are. Big thanks to Qwertykeys for sending it over to have a look at.
    Having a look today at one of the hottest new budget options in mechanical keyboards, the neo70 by qwertykeys - using magnetic connectors for the pcb, two separate daughterboards and a completely screwless exterior. I have genuinely really enjoyed this board, and hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it!
    The board will be available IN STOCK from Wednesday 22nd November over on the Qwertykeys site.
    Check out the board here in the meantime: qwertykeys.notion.site/Neo70-...

    I feel like the Neo boards from QK will be the final catalyst to separate the price brackets even further as a step to break into the mainstream. Let's be honest, even in the state it is at now, it's still a niche hobby. Acessibility will open up the market for EVERYONE. You can argue customizing a plastic board worth $40 is good enough, but there's the thought of going the extra mile for the feel of cold metal.
    QK and other brands can hold down the budget segment, while individual designers and manufacturers can keep experimenting with new concepts at a higher pricepoint. It creates a compromise for those that want a premium keyboard, and those that want functional art pieces. At least it's not some sort of vacuum anymore, where you'll get sucked in to spend $400 as an entry fee.

    @HubertTheMad 7 месяцев назад +10

    I was shocked at how good the ano felt on the Neo65, and really happy with the plateless config. I'm interested in getting a 70 to compare with the Cycle7 when it starts shipping (and selling the one that I don't like as much)!
    Imagine if Neo continues its product line to cover all layouts. Really insane. The Chinese keeb market is so competitive that I think we will really benefit from a lot more Cycles and Neos in the future (basic-ish boards that hit way above their price tag).
    That doesn't mean that there won't be room for unique boards, it's just that these companies really are dialing in quality, sound, and feel with a crazy good price.

    • @poppy69420
      @poppy69420 7 месяцев назад +1

    • @TM-zo1nz
      @TM-zo1nz 6 месяцев назад +1

      Both TKD and Neo will continue to roll out new layouts with competitive pricing for sure.
      Neo will release more products yearly than TKD, and mostly in-stock items.
      Looking forward to Neo Alice and Neo pad in 2024.

All my current boards are WK and planning to get a new tkl or frl keeb and idk which one to get lol.

    really love the content and appreciate the review! Curious how the gummy o ring config felt, I gathered most reviewers didn’t really like it for the neo 65, but I’ve personally been hoping for a more premium finish / better sounding bakeneko60.

    • @Charo.mp4
      @Charo.mp4  7 месяцев назад +1

      @@Charo.mp4fantastic, that’s really encouraging! Here’s to hoping they can bring a 60% product to market! I recognize it’s sort of fallen out of favor in the sea of 65s/75s, and this seems to be the year of the FRL TKLs.

    Quick tip I discovered myself when you don't have a plate fork!
    If you insert the switch and then push it forward while pressing down makes it snap in place nicely even on the softest plates! Just put your PCB flat on the table.

      @@Charo.mp4 of course! Let me know if it works for you. I also suggest to alternate the spots where you put them in and go in diagonal rows. It makes it so they give support to the switches you put in and the plate is less likely to pop down.
