So I thought that might feel annoying at even lower angles, but this wasn't the case at all. It took probably 70+ deg. before I noticed anything. So to answer your question, yes, but it isn't as bad as I thought it would feel.

I will see about it. I have it bookmarked. I don't usually go for alice style, but I'll let you know if / when I get to it. it'll be a couple months minimum, as I've got other videos I'm doing first

@@ireakhavok Thank you

I don't think so. To my knowledge e-yooso boards do not have programable chips. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Thank you! I don't know what my favorite part is, the anodization, or the keycaps. :) So clear, and aesthetic.

HMU, let's do a collab sometime. DADS UNITE.

you know, I definitely feel that. It is a little bit more clacky than expected, even after I swapped out the stabs and used a carbon plate. maybe some electric tape added to the plate will make it more of a gasket mount? you should mod it a little further and report back! :P

@@ireakhavok yeah for sure I'm also gonna work on the foam to dampen the case further... maybe I'll swap out the switches... I love how they feel when lubed but they might somewhat be the problem.

That could be arranged... stay tuned and I can do a quick foamless video - it might have to be members only or sent through the discord as a private video, but I'll keep you updated. Just looked at the pluto. What a good looking board. That color would be perfect for this set just judging by the renders. I'd just hope that the renders were close to the actual color. Thanks for the suggestions.

You need to download and use VIA. It should work with VIA right out the box, but you may have to flash it if it doesn't appear after unplugging it and plugging it back in. I have a tutorial on how to flash your keyboard using QMK (it should already be flashed) and VIA.

@@ireakhavok i dnt find any ajazz software and VIA software cant find my device. if u hv a link fr the software plz share

@@ireakhavok what is flash?

@@hridoyridoy epomaker.com/blogs/via-json/ajazz-aks068-pro-usb-json-file?_pos=3&_sid=c7e997153&_ss=r This is the JSON file you need to load into VIA once you enable layout mode in settings tab. Once that is loaded, unplug your keyboard, and plug it back in or toggle it from usb to 2.4 and back. Once it starts lighting up, press and hold the S key. This allows the firmware to be accessible to the computer. From there the via screen should refresh. It might take some trying several times, but it should show up when you get the hang of it. Just did It on my computer.

step 1 Download VIA 3.0 step 2 open via and enable layout mode step 3 load the above json file, and toggle the switch enable reading 2.0 definitions step 4 turn on / plug in keyboard. once it starts to light up, press S key and hold. It should show up now on far left tab. make sure you save the layout when you're done, but you should be able to keep whatever changes you make on the fly. I just tested it, it's a little convoluted, but works.

WHAT BRO?? THAT'S A STEAL. Cool! Congrats!

Honestly it depends on specifics. They are probably very close to the same quality, however. I am the type of person that prefers brass or copper plates, not so much POM or PC, so, my personal preference would be to go with the KBD8X just on preference choices. The other I would suggest for you to look at is the Novelkeys NK87. Ultimately, get any of the three of those, and you're killing it. I do also know the KBD8X works through the KVM and the NK87 does not. So keep that in mind, that some PCB's don't talk nice through KVM's

@@ireakhavok I havent had any experiences with neither so thank you for sharing your thoughts! The neo 80 seems better for the value, i will probably get a carbon fibre plate for it since i also prefer the higher pitch noises! plus it does have a 1.6mm pcb for a more fuller high pitched clack sound.

@@medal_pedal "sounds" great! Take a video, I'd like to hear your build!

@@ireakhavok I might not be able to since im planning on getting it at the next sale, trying to save as much as i could

@@medal_pedal understood! Good luck!

I agree, honestly, the first thing I think I'm going to change is the switches, not that these are bad, - same with the stabs, they sound really great, but I'm still going going to look at the stabs and maybe order some more, if they are PCB mount. What would you like to see for mods?

I personally didnt mod it but what I would recommend to try is tape mod and lubing. It will probably make the keyboard thock more!

@@ShaharGaming the switches are already factory lubed, and I honestly don't recommend the tape mod over time. I do understand that it helps as a low pass filter, but honestly the foam and the silicone do the same thing and are superior at doing so! I'd rather put higher quality switches in if I were to go through the several hour process of lubing them! That being said, I'll think about your suggestions, and see what else I can do to make it a nicer, lower thock, because I do agree. It could be a lot thockier.

I used a tape mod on a cheap AliExpress keyboard and it really helped and you have great idea 💡😁

@@ShaharGaming I put some hmx canglan switches in mine and it sounds and feels incredible

lmao, that's a win for persistance

Thanks!!! Yeah I've been really happy with KBD fans and how good the quality is. Not just with the keyboard themselves, like that case is fantastic

Honestly, I'm used to standard layout, but, I definitely should have, TBH

What spec are you doing?

Thanks man!

then play the video x2 speed.

@@ireakhavok thats 0.5x engagement for you

@@Slurpee_Burger fine by me. This is a relaxing hobby for me, man, not tryna feel cracked. I change it up how I'm feeling that day

I owned a samsung a few years ago and loved it. Great phones for sure, but I do have to say that I don't believe that Google is advertising them as waterproof, even if they meet the standards. I use mine to check my email in the shower pretty much every morning, so I'd agree that it is 100% waterproof. Maybe the issue was that it was dropped into a toilet bowl at the same time? Feel sorry for your buddy, but I haven't had a problem with mine. I love my phone. I hope that he had insurance!!!

I should have done that for sure. At the time I didn't feel like it needed it, but after doing several more since then, I agree totally! just use some really thin foam when you do it!

Thanks a ton!

No, they are not, sadly.

What? Not welled?

@@ireakhavok sorry concaved “welled inward”

@@RatherBeCancelledThanHandled yeah, it's not curved, sure. I prefer the flat! to each their own!

I'm sorry that happened! I would let it sit longer in rice. do you live in a humid climate? you may want to pre-dry the rice just by heating it up slightly before you put the phone in, but not too hot to the touch.

so, yes. The Black keycaps will absorb instead of reflect the light, like the white keycaps. I would definitely suggest getting the white pudding keycaps if you need some bright letters. you could also look up some switches like the Durock Blue Lotus that use a form of fibre optics to "pipe" the light to the keycap.

@@ireakhavok The Durock Blue Lotus do look and sound nice but i can not find any video how the lightning looks like. At the front is some defused window? How does the licht of the led at the back of the key will go to the front? Does this not lower the lightning at the back of the keycap? Could you link me to a video with Durock Blue Lotus lightning?

@@fvheel so for your keyboard, which is North facing, the window will be at the back, by the legends. The keyswitch is rotated 180 degrees. some other boards will use south facing sockets, which puts the light at the front. I'm assuming that you have the Mountain Everest, yes?

so without VIA compatible firmware, it won't load into VIA. I do use the QMK tool box in the video. you can customize the keyboard on the fly without having to code it out. It makes it much easier to customize your keybindings.

I actually just bought a second one in alien green.... Build video coming for that one too! Thanks for the comments!

If you can't find a specific color that matches what you want, you could also look at the kbdfans kbd8x mk3, but you lose out on RGB. I feel that this board, the nk87, is of slightly higher features, while the kbdfans is more for an enthusiast trying to get a specific aesthetic. There's availability yo coming out soon on the KBD fans as well. Kbdfans, first them an update to uhk, then the alien green nk87.

@@ireakhavok yeah I will just get this board then. It will be my first ever mechanical keyboard and it perfectly fits my needs. Thanks for the response!

@@ireakhavok I have an odd request. On your next building video would you perhaps be able to slow down the process when you lube the stabilizers? Since I have no experience building keyboards your guide is all I will have. You don’t have to slow the Timelapse down a lot it would be nice if it’s just enough to easily watch in 0.5 playback speed.

@@RayanAhmad-v9c absolutely, I'll do that. And tag you

Yes, but you have to get the same type of low profile switches. There is a K70 version that is not low profile, as well, that would be good for standard MX switches, but you can't switch from low profile to high profile or visa versa

It is 5 pin.

They are for connecting the keyboard from that port, so like if your computer is to the right or left side, or if you need more room for a mouse pad on either side, it just helps to route the cables one way or the other!

@@ireakhavok gotcha. Thanks!

Glad to have you! GL on getting the black phat, sir

@@ireakhavok You too! 🫡

Absolutely! It has been a fantastic experience using this keyboard. So happy with it. Please reach out with future projects, keyboard or not! It was a great experience to work with you.

Sorry, on this keyboard, I don't believe it has a programmable microcontroller or volatile memory, if I remember right. it's not practical. I could be wrong, but I'm sorry I can't help you. I don't even have this board anymore.

Yes. I love my phone.

Now 3 months later how do you feel about the pixel

I agree, as this is a flagship phone, however, we have to keep in mind that faster charging, and a faster processor usually means less battery life in one way or another. I prefer efficiency, combined with efficient processor power, and a device that will last me another 4 years, like my pixel 4 XL did

@@ireakhavok true. im also hoping to use my pixel 6a for the next 3-4 years :)

actually it's not flagship phone, it's just foldable phone@@ireakhavok

If there is no original software, or you flashed an incompatible version onto it. The only thing that you can try to do is reflash it in QMK with a version that is compatible. I would do more searching for binaries? I don't know what to tell you. I know for sure that the chip isn't permanently brickable. People have re-flashed reddragons before.

same situation damn, did you find any solution? my kb is K636

anytime! my heart was definitely going while I did it, lol not many people are willing to do that to a $2k phone, lol

Are there any specific parts that are prone to damage?

@@muhaha003 other than the spot where the USB cord clips in(which might have been my fault), it's build quality is fantastic. It doesn't rattle or creak. The metal guide rods that hold the modules or the two halves together are extremely sturdy. You can easily pick up the board without it flexing when it's together. I feel like the build quality could only be surpassed by a metal frame. As for a plastic case it's one of the best plastic cases in regards to quality that I've seen. The metal reinforcements and wooden wrist rest also make it heavier than expected.

Thanks for sharing. Could I ask more about the durability of pcb and hot swap soldering …etc?

And the durability of modules, module sockets?

@@muhaha003 yep, no problem. Stellar construction. Sometimes the models can be hard to slide on because of the tight tolerances but those tight tolerances also make it really good and sturdy.

Thank you! I definitely agree.

lmao, I did. but I blame the new mouse, video soon ;)

Join the discord and hit me up! Congrats on the new PC!

So they just updated to Agent 2.0, which was literally extremely easy to upgrade the firmware, just a FYI. But this is still one area that it could improve. The layers are the only thing that control the RGB, currently, except for brightness. you can adjust the brightness of alpha's separately from other keys, then you can also adjust the brightness of the LED that displays the type of layout. Not much! I don't mind that much, but he did say some years ago that he would be implementing more control over it. I do not know when, so this may be something we can bring up in either his monthly blogs or directly reach out to them and ask, to see if it's on the roadmap.

Honestly he is just catching up on production as of a month or two ago, and he is always very vocal on any updates he is working on, and to my knowledge he is not making current updates to it. If he does eventually make updates to it, it would be minor and you could update your case or build with the new components. There were some big changes to the V2 of the build, and I honestly don't see new changes coming any time soon. You can also reach out to him directly or on his website and he could address any of your concerns personally. I am VERY happy with this keyboard. If I were you, I wouldn't wait. but if there is something that you really want to see, reach out and let him know, now would be the time to do so.

Yes absolutely. I do switch it out sometimes, But because I sit for such long hours at my computer this is probably my primary keyboard.

@@ireakhavok reassuring to hear, sometimes it's hard to tell whether a product made significant impact or was genuinely useful, thanks for the response!

Sadly they are not compatible. :/ However they do make a k70 that is not low profile that has basically the exact same top plate. I would try to sell the low profile and just buy the standard
