lol relax bro. He says it “starts at $110.” It’s not false advertising at all. Adding the shipping costs that comes with 99% of non Amazon customs into the board price to claim “fAlSe ADveTiSing.” 🤦♂️
Shipping is different for everyone though, and depends on vendor (of which there are multiple) location relative to your location. Doesn't make sense to include shipping when revealing the price. Not everyone lives in the same country.
I got this a few days ago and the keyboard is absolutely incredible. Build experience is top notch and you can build it a bunch of different ways to get the sound and feel you want.
I'm typing with the Neo80 right now. As someone who hadn't looked into the keyboard hobby for like 2-3 years, coming back and grabbing the Neo80, I've gotta say it's incredible that this board even exists. It sounds and feels incredible, and I'm also on the new mx2a switches that dropped somewhat recently lol. I'm in Cherry clack TKL heaven right now. Bless. Also this board is just so much fun to use, you can literally mess with the mount config in under 20 seconds. Still mind boggling to me that this is on my desk right now but here we are.
@@esseyhabte306 i lubed them with 205g0 (stem only, I avoided lubing the top of the slider on the stem in hopes of not muting the upstroke/top-out and used .15mm films) and swapped the springs with aftermarket 55g springs. For the record I’ve never tried jwks or any of the nicer aftermarket switches but the switches do feel consistently smooth and tbh it’s not like you run cherry switches for smoothness anyway. As for the config, the differences are most noticeable in the modifiers and the alphas imo are really subtle in change; I could only tell in person and not through recorded audio. However, the gasket dumbbells seem to make the alphas pop way more than the rest of the mounting styles, and they’re just really fun to listen to. Even the soft typing pops. Right now I have the top left and top right brass pillars on and everything else gasket dumbbells. The important thing that I noticed (and this may be just me) is that the poppy alphas seem to be present if the mounts at the bottom are all dumbbells. For the record, I’m on an aluminum plate, of course, lol. I ran with the boring ol’ cherry blacks on alu with the retro white case haha, almost ran a beige set too. Anyways, those are my answers. 205g0 lubed MX2As on aluminum, I prefer the dumbbell mount sound, and I built the board with no foam (though swapping the case foam in and out will literally take 15 seconds). Best part about this board is you can run through every config and combination of mounting styles you want to try in less than hour and figure everything out lol. Cheers!
Wow I cannot thank you enough for that juicy analysis, you are goated for that. I too, am a sucker for mx blacks on aluminum boards or even browns, but I was definitely having trouble deciding on what to choose before purchasing as well as the figuring out what mounting style I think would suit me the most. It seems to me that the gasket dumbells sound the best with sandwich mount sounding similar to top mount and o-ring mount not really sounding too great IMO. I think I will give your config a go and then pick up an extra PC plate to try some mx browns on. I do have another question though as someone who's also been out of the hobby for a couple years now, I have been looking ever so often at what's new and trending in terms of switches and there seems to have been so many new variations of switches that I could not, for the life of me, keep up with (which is probably why I'm ultimately going with browns or blacks in another build lol), so in terms of smoothness how would you rate the new mx2a switches? Also, as I grew in the hobby I realized I hate lubing as its just too time consuming for me, so I guess what I'm asking is were the switches worth lubing? If so, do you have any alternative recommendations for mx black-like switches or even brown-like switches?@@Vosian
@@esseyhabte306 for sure, if I were to have ordered an extra plate I definitely would’ve picked up a PC plate as well lol. I’ll be waiting for the extras sale. Uhhh I’m not gonna lie idk if I can help you with that second one LOL. I did try searching for how switches are because it’s definitely different now and, like…people rarely talk about switches these days it seems? They used to be all the rave. I think what happened is that you can just grab “pre-lubed JWK #837 strawberries” or whatever nowadays and be fine. But you know, seeing brand new variants of cherry switches during my search was definitely enticing haha, I had to go with that. Anyways, to actually answer: I think they were definitely worth lubing (man I really forgot how long it took to lube though) and they ended up pretty dang smooth. I noticed that the pre-lube job was very minimal on the stem but pretty liberal on the spring, with lube being visible there. I will say this, though: the classic cherry scratch sound is present in the switch’s stock form, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the stock browns on the PC plate might be a secret amazing build. As for alternatives if you really want smoothness and you don’t wanna lube? I can’t really help unfortunately haha. I do wanna pick up the BSUN BCPs sometime, though. It was a switch designed to imitate the BCP frakenswitch (as the name implies) and from I’ve heard it’s slightly different sounding, of course, but really really dang smooth and worth using stock if you enjoy BCP. Not sure if that’s your thing (also the stem travel is like 3.2mm which is crazy short, not gonna lie) but that’s all I got haha. edit: I’m also aware of light tactiles (browns) having more interest in the keeb hobby space these days, so if you want something really smooth with the cherry brown bump then you have options for that if you look. Anyways, gl!
enjoyed the skit as always, also feel you on those plastic bags that are so hard to open, haha! I’m not a huge fan of TKLs, but the Neo design language is super up my alley, and it’s great to see them putting out such stellar products at great price points for the masses.
This board at this price is BONKERS. If I could go back in time and, you know, just prostpone buying some of the boards that I did and ordering this instead, I'd do in in a heartbeat. Never stop your video-style, Scott! Also, it'd be rad if you could cover that new ball-bearing switch from KBDfans! :D
Nah that's about right. Getting on qwerty could come around $150-160 but shipping to the US is like $38, so it's a bit more on the vendor sites (~$180) but usually shipping included
I’m loving my neo80 so far. This is the first time I went with a cf plate and I’m somewhat regretting that decision because the spacebar sounds kinda hollow/resonates a ton throughout the case but the keyboard overall is fantastic. Just need those darn plate files to come out already🤞
They are smooth but not like you'd think from ball bearings. They are in par with smooth standard switches, but they achieve that out of the bag with no additional lube work
The skit was hilarious! Imagine a legal team with the keebs off to the side 🤣 The match of the ball catch system on the keyboard and the ball-bearing switches was interesting, is ball bearing the way to go for keebs now? 😆Thanks for the vid scott, this board definitely is a game changer, cant wait to see more of these board and your vids!
Would you recommend to build a silent keyboard with neo 80? Where it possible similar to ur Wind x98 built? Anyway ur Wind x98 is incredibly silent which i really like but think twice due to the prices 😂
As you were talking about the price and whether it was worth it or not, I remembered a new video from Hypio that I saw yesterday. He reviewed a plastic keyboard from a known ¨productivity¨ youtuber which has a sales price of $159 USD. This is your basic $30 USD plastic keyboard, without foams of any kind. So when you say that the NEO 80 costs $150 USD as you have it, I would say that YES, it is worth it!
Im stuck between the NEO80 and KBD8X MKIII not really sure which to go with the tri mode pcb might be the winner here. What people think? I understand the price difference that not really the issue its if the 8x is worth the extra money.
This is incredible. I have one suggestion if I may: it would be nice to add a bit of context to those reviews by saying just a couple words of comparison with some other similar keyboards. Not necessarily a ton of them, but like I would have love your point of view on how this Neo 80 compare to 2 or 3 key similar in the same layout.
Talking about Design, that Sisyphus65 is the most beautiful keyboard i've ever seen and it's not even close. I kinda regret not participating in the Group buy. Really hoping that Group (Maniac Rabbit?) creates some more interesting designs with some stories behind them.
There is that amazing dude called @Nexpo , he creates crazy stuff using a superflat board. I think a little collab like when Squashy made the board for Gigguk would be extremely cool. Like some retro MT3-set board would be the perfect thing to be seen on his desk and you are definitely the perfect guy to do that :)
Great review as always, I really like a lot of the points you touched on. I have to disagree on one [admittedly very subjective] point though - to me the Neo 80 just sounds super hollow. I know you didn't really use any foams in the builds, but tbh I'm kind of sick of boards that sound so hollow and empty if you don't use a ton of foam. It doesn't seem ping-ey at all, which is great, and I like literally every other aspect of the board. I just...I don't know. Maybe I'm just looking at the wrong boards lately Also, yes please do a more detailed video on the roller linears! In fact, you haven't really done any switch-only videos lately, I miss those cause in the past I've really appreciated your approach to switch reviews Anyway, thanks again - always appreciate your reviews!
I hope the Neo80 stab is not gonna be hit or miss. Cuz my Noe65 stab was great, but my recent Neo70 stab was so baddd! It is bad on every stab. I had done everything to them but they still sound so badd, they don't even fit well with the pcb that I think imma change them entirely
I actually bought one, still awaiting delivery which should be around april-may, but I'm actually debating ordering a second one, that way, I could have a clacky and a tocky keyboard at the same time 🤣
Between the magnetic connectors and how easy the case comes apart I'm going to have to get this at some point. I've got the Neo70 and it's been a blast to tinker with and sounds amazing. I look at all these different boards but I keep ending up with qwertykeys haha.
Great review and intro is on point as always! Would love to hear more about the switches. With boards becoming more and more OP, would love to hear some reviews of switches sprinkled in with your unique perspective. Also, was curious if you are watching the Flux Keyboard at all. Thanks again for all of your time and work on these reviews!
Almost bought Purploch when I first saw Scott use it but waited... sadly now you can't find it anywhere. Excellent review and I love my Neo65, just not a TKL guy but oddly enough still want this board just to build it it out! Definitely interested in those switches, how unique! The no ribbon cables is definitely a huge bonus!
Hi everyone. I was set on buying a QK80 in the next group buy but now I’m rethinking everything. Can anyone tell me the difference between the QK80 and the Neo 80 and which one would be the best buy?
i agree, that qwertykeys products are really good. but i just recently found out, that the qk75(n) and qk80 do not use qmk firmwares. they also use a proprietary micro controller, so you cant set up your own qmk firmware. the neo boards also dont come with qmk firmwares.. this is might be a problem, if you want to configure parameters as for example the tap&hold delay.
@@lllun4ryes, "based". that means, it will work with via(l) but the firmware is not maintained in theqmk_firmware repository. you will have to load the .json file every time and have a lot less configurability. also, the only way to change your keymap includes using a gui. I really don't mean to say, the qk/neo boards are bad (that would be stupid), i mean to inform about the firmware capabilities because this was quite disappointing to me.
In Europe the NEO80 sadly starts at around 200 bucks with one plate included so it becomes tougher to swallow. Otherwise, its my dream keyboard right now.
@@fnvfanMSPR you gotta add 25 a plate, 5-10 for shipping and 6-12 for the wired or wireless hot swap pcb. Also if you go to checkout it says 37 euros in extra tax (I guess it's import taxes) so the total with 1 plate and shipping comes out to 190 euros!
I think I understand this better now: the stabs that come with the kit snap into the PCB, but we could buy other stabs that do screw together using the same holes. I suppose that Scott K. probably lubed these stabs, but I'm wondering if he did any other modifications (band aid, holee)?
i gotta say your taste in keycaps and what you choose to put with each board is great. i’m always tempted to buy the ones you’ve chosen.
Which set of keycaps are on the keyboard on 6:36???
drop dcx dusk
The bags the neo acessories come in are fr kinda annoying
lmao... those damn bags.
I feel like saying the keyboard is $110 is somewhat false advertising, as with a hotswap PCB + plate + shipping the total comes out to $172 minimum.
this lol. a good barebones kit with this thing is like $155. still good though
lol relax bro. He says it “starts at $110.” It’s not false advertising at all. Adding the shipping costs that comes with 99% of non Amazon customs into the board price to claim “fAlSe ADveTiSing.” 🤦♂️

Shipping is different for everyone though, and depends on vendor (of which there are multiple) location relative to your location.
Doesn't make sense to include shipping when revealing the price. Not everyone lives in the same country.
It actually starts at $105 now with the RAW option. lol
Not too long ago, people were raving about an injection molded NK65/KBD67 Lite for this price. Nice to see how far this hobby has come
the tiger lite was a good kb at this price point just a couple years ago, it's crazy
Yes, please do review these switches in more depth!
Well, that comment about the parts bags is on point -- I basically ripped them all when opening them
Stick your nail in at the top to break the seal!
Or you can rub & slide the zip horizontally, it will pop open just like that!
I ripped all of mine on the neo70, guess we will see on the neo80 when it gets here.

How's the wireless mode performance on the Neo80?
This keyboard is definitely not $110
Please make a in depth video of the roller switches
I added to cart and it comes out to 180 after case (43), weight bar (58), plate (220, and PCB (57). Did I do something wrong?
Nah that's about right. Getting on qwerty could come around $150-160 but shipping to the US is like $38, so it's a bit more on the vendor sites (~$180) but usually shipping included
i just got a neo80 a couple days ago, and ive been loving it! in fact, i changed through 3 mounts during the duration of this vid haha
Neo80 vs JRIS80? 😅
Thanks for the video!
The price is misleading a bit. Once you add certain options it can up to $150 but still good value
I’m loving my neo80 so far. This is the first time I went with a cf plate and I’m somewhat regretting that decision because the spacebar sounds kinda hollow/resonates a ton throughout the case but the keyboard overall is fantastic. Just need those darn plate files to come out already🤞
hey Scott! Are these roller linear switches smoother than HMX switches?
They are smooth but not like you'd think from ball bearings. They are in par with smooth standard switches, but they achieve that out of the bag with no additional lube work
Just needs 1800 layout, per key rgb, knob, lcd...

OMG bro! LMAO!! “Prolly

I'm using NEO65 well. I want to buy NEO80 too😊😊
Wish there was a soundtest with the $110 config :(
How does this compare with the Kbd 8x mkiii?
how do i set up via with the keyboard help
love the board, too bad they dont ship to south africa..
Strange, I can't get the price to go down to $110. Cheapest I can't get it is $133 and that is without the Plate. With the plate, it is $155
Now it goes to 105$ except shipping, haha after the raw version was added
Great video! Thanks for showcasing the different sound profiles.

Are these shipping yet? Also what is WK and WKL?
they are indeed. I get mine tomorrow.

How would you compare this to the qk80?
Coming in a bit late but thumbs up on a review of the switches featured in this video for sure.
I'd rather wait for the Cycle8
this thing sounds exactly like the lego building sound effect. i have to get one

Thanks
Beginner here. The different builds here all lean towards the clacky side? TIA.
Really depends on the configuration. He used no foams in all of these but adding foams will change it to make it more thocky

Hi everyone. I was set on buying a QK80 in the next group buy but now I’m rethinking everything. Can anyone tell me the difference between the QK80 and the Neo 80 and which one would be the best buy?
QK boards have a bit more visual detail than the neo series. From what I noticed, the neos are more focused in keyboard basics and less embellishments

Also if you go to checkout it says 37 euros in extra tax (I guess it's import taxes)
so the total with 1 plate and shipping comes out to 190 euros!
@@Fabbyyy Taxes are already included in the price. The 134.99€ is the base price + DE tax included.

Hey Scoot the PCB flex or non ?

Good!
Very much so!
Am I seeing correctly that there is no option for screw-in stabs on this PCB? Anyone know why this is the case?
I think I understand this better now: the stabs that come with the kit snap into the PCB, but we could buy other stabs that do screw together using the same holes. I suppose that Scott K. probably lubed these stabs, but I'm wondering if he did any other modifications (band aid, holee)?
