Typing sound check!
I used to be a Razer guy but when I bought my first custom mechanical keyboard, Epomaker TH80, the rest was history. I am still new to the custom mechanical keyboard community who prefers 65%, 75%, (sweet spot) and TKL. I do simple videos of unboxing, mostly typing, and just about anything techy I guess as repository.
Started this hobby Q4 of 2023 so let's both learn and have fun with the journey!

These are one of my old switches when I used to be a big fan of thocc. They were the ones that I got from CannonKeys mystery switches.
Old video here:

They were mostly mounted on foamy builds. Never realized that these are really scratchy sounding switches. That sound profile is not for everyone.

The third Neo80 has joined the collection. This time in the unique "RAW" colorway and WKL layout. I guess it's safe to say that this board goes to the top of my list. This is my first WKL and I find the two blockers to be aesthetically pleasing. I know I'm late to the party. The FR4 plate is also new to me. I did not expect that it would sound amazing especially with the space bar. Not sure how...

What mods did you do on the keyboard and switch I want them all lol
Lol I appreciate the compliment. There are no modifiers, but there is an internal stainless steel weight which makes a huge difference.
that underglow really has that board POPPING
Yeah even if you go with the minimal BoW it still pops
Have the same set on my zoom75 and was debating on getting the pc envoy as well for the rgb blue to match the blue/red neon theme. I would be curious to see the effects with the caps if you think you could throw something up. Would def save me a lot of money if I didn't end up liking it 🤣🤣
Sure, I could definitely do that for you tonight when I get home. It’ll be in a form of short if that works.
@@DadTech1981 that'd be awesome I appreciate it
I like that color scheme
Yes attractive set!
ISO TOP FOR THE WIN!!! 🥇
💯
My Neo80 w/ PP plate and Xinhai sounds exactly like that.
It's a win
I like the Morandi better in general, but I honestly love the way Curry sound in just about anything! Distinct and lively!
Fair enough!
Would like to see Metropolis update for 2024 with Kabuki cho r2 jelly keys
That would be insane!
Do you mistype a lot on these switches? I like the sound btw. Very clacky.
Don't think so. Well, this is my dedicated board for gaming and not much typing. Indeed, it is very clacky.
Hi! Do knight stabs wires lubed with dielectric feel fine? Most ppl recommend 205g0 only. I plan to use knight on next build and I prefer thicker lube on wires too
Hello, thanks for visiting my little channel. Yes, everything is fine I even applied a good amount of dielectric grease on the wires. Good luck on your next build!
Oh man, this build clacks so hard! I'm actually working on a Neo80 Raw build video for my channel as well. Hopefully it comes out as good as yours!
I'll check it out. I appreciate you stopping by!
I absolutely LOVE THE FINISH on the RAW Neo 80. LOOKS SO CLEAN, win keyless, I see you 👀
I take back what I said about WKL lol it's not actually that big of an adjustment although I haven't used this layout that much.
@@DadTech1981 haha yeah the Qk 80 is the only win keyless I have, and it’s not bad by any means, even help me NOT bring up a whole windows tab when in the middle of a game lol
Aside from the aesthetic aspect, I realized its benefit when gaming too. Although I have already disabled the windows key even before.
@@DadTech1981 lol i hear you on that. One less thing we'll have to do when it comes setting in windows for gaming ! >:D
@@DestenSheng this would probably be my dedicated gaming board. Can't use this for work as I take screenshots endlessly in a day.
Factory lubed?
Slightly lubed. Eventually, I had to hand lube the V4.
@@DadTech1981 thank🖤
oooooo that is cleaaan! is there an audible difference between the neo80 with copper weight and without?
Don't know if its placebo effect but feels like this one with copper weight sounds full and more solid. My other 2 Neo80 just have the aluminum weight. They still sound good IMHO.
What is your favorite plate for the neo 80?
It's a tie between CF and PP!
@DadTech1981 interesting! I would have thought CF would sound hollow or pingy. Should give it a shot. After PP of course :)
@@saadkabbani65 actually, the CF does sound a bit hollow but not crazy enough to bother me.
@DadTech1981 I did notice the hollowness in some other neo80 cf build videos, the plate that has me extra curious is the FR4. Haven't seen 1 neo80 sound test where the Fr4 hasn't slapped. Might be worth a try for you and ur fans? 😊
Wow! ua-cam.com/video/-Y2AbSMf6TM/v-deo.htmlsi=6xG3B4jVUkjFjr8K
picked this set up myself recently as it seemed like it was back in store in some stores. currently waiting for it to arrive. I plan to put it on a wooting 80HE for my second build. it definitely went well with that board
Thanks! I know they were out of stock for a while. Hope you enjoy the set!
@@DadTech1981 can you tell me if the teal blue keys are glossy by default? the R2 version of this set is ABS if I remember correctly but at least from what I've seen it looks pretty resistant
@@aidencraft32 They seem glossy by default because of the alpha key's semi-transparent material.Yes, they are double shot ABS while the R1 is PBT.
This seems to be one of those builds that really shows how much leaf noise sswr v2 has. Its unfortunate, v1 was fantastic. They should have released this as a whole new switch with different colors imo.
Sometimes the v2 does not really mean an upgrade to some. Haven't tried the v1 though. But yes I hear you. Prolly a "feature" and I'm not really bothered by it.
Which set is the clackiest? And which the least?
Very slight difference to be honest but I would say GMK being the clackiest and PBTfans would be the least.
MZ Y1 sound so good
It actually does. I wish I got to try the Z1 but was out of stock. My only gripe would be the bottom out force of 57g. Kinda used to lighter switches these days.
How does this compare to the neo65? Would you recommend for someone who already has the neo65, qk65v2, etc?
Can't speak for the QK65V2 as I don't personally have it. The Neo65 is very hard to beat especially with its ability to run various configurations with or without foams and multiple mounting options. The Tofu65 is good if you like foamy builds. To answer your question, no I do not recommend it because you already have those banger boards.
PC has a slightly deeper tone, I’m feeling the PP plate more, which is ironic because I’ve been building PC for the last few builds I’ve gone with
Wait 'til you get your hands on those. Pretty sure you're gonna like it.
interesting, pp sounds kinda better
I agree!
dang i thought the softer the plate the deeper it sounds but dang pp is so clacky
Sounds full and more solid to my ears
Lookin good! 😮
Thank you! Cheers!
I still need to try a pp plate
For less than 20 bucks do it lol this and the CF has become my favorite
@@DadTech1981 I just cant decide what board to try it on. Some boards don't have a cheap option like the neo stuff does. Maybe neo65?
Neo65 would be a good start! Lemme know how you like it
The Hyperboring PP okay definitely gotta pick it up now 😂 Sounds so good, how is it on the typing experience?
It's fairly cheap too! In terms of typing feel, it is a soft material comparable to pc/pom.
....These are a few of my favorite things! lol Absolutely love everything about this combo and the sound test came out fantastic!
I appreciate the kind words! PP does not disappoint.
@@DadTech1981 tis what she said?
ah yes xinhai on pp! the classic hmx ear breaking sound hahaha i am convinced that some of the frequencies are higher than what the human ear can pick up
Ear breaking lol indeed, they're really loud IRL.
Because of you, I just cart out from Hyperboring.
Free marketing for them lol
@@DadTech1981 for sure
WOW
🥂
This sounds wild. Love it
Thanks! I remember our conversation with this keycap few months ago.
PP sounds so good!
It definitely lives up to the hype!
Anything and everything sounds so good in the Neo’s 🔥🔥🔥
No one will disagree with you. King of budget 65!
is the qk65v2 screen edition as good as the neo65?
Can't say much about the qk65v2 as I don't own one. But based on experience, qwertykeys is doing an amazing job producing quality budget boards.
PC bottom coming in with the hard carry once again. Super nice. I have always preferred the sonnet with plate foam personally
That's not a bad thing to be honest. Personally, I admire boards that could run in various configurations without sounding thin and hollow. Btw, I agree that the PC bottom is carrying this board. The alu bottom is just collecting dust lol
@@DadTech1981 I am just accepting that my sonnet won't ever be perfect. I don't know how other people make their non-pc bottoms sound so great, but whatever. I can get it sounding solid enough at least.
@@justanotherpxrson Honestly, I was about to give up on this board. Still not perfect, but I am satisfied in its current state.... fortunately
@@DadTech1981 I was almost there at one point too honestly
This is that full sounding Sonnet we all want 🤪🔥 Sounds as lively as those keycaps look!
Tried other switches as well and they sound decent. The BSUN Tai Chi stands out. Moreso, I think the missing piece was the PC bottom. I can finally say that I am enjoying this board with no foams.
😊
Thanks for stopping by!
Currently typing on these at this very moment! Lol is the O Ring growing on you? 😏
I could definitely appreciate the O ring as it gives you a slightly different typing feel and sound especially the SB. However, I miss the typing feel of dumbell gasket mount.
Flow like Starky and Hutch. Killing it in the Keycap game man!
That's what happens if you let yourself get deep down the rabbit hole lol
smoothies on that PC plate sounds phenomenal !
I'm really surprised it turned out so good!
Which sounds more thocky?
This build is not meant to be thocky. But, to answer your question, the non flex cut would give you a rounded and more solid sound with or without foams. The flex cut PCB tends to sound thin but softer typing feel.
Slappin
Yeah especially if I have low expectations LOL kinda surprised
this sounds incredible
I really appreciate the constant support brother!
@@DadTech1981 np lol im addicted to keyboards 💀
@@justanotherpxrson you are not the only one 👏
akhh that sounds so good.. i'm also considering getting this switch. somehow I'm tired with the high pitch sound sig from hmx .. hahaha.... but does this thing still have a good amount of volume ? (also need this switch on Neo board with CF.. so I know how it will sound in my board too ..hahah)
Yes, not as high pitched as HMX but decent amount of clack. My only gripe is the inconsistent factory lube. I had to crack open some and wipe off lube. Overall, I can see why it's a popular switch. Bang for the buck and typing feel is very smooth.
@@DadTech1981 yeah... i've heard people had an issue with that prelube amount... and people telling me to get gateron sea salt instead ( the heavier in spring version, and shorter stem... with better prelube ). sound wise, almost the same I dunno which one I 'd get in the future, but thank you for sharing your opinion and experience ...hahah
I don't have the sea salt to compare it with. I guess it's worth the try and lemme know! Welcome and thanks for watching my videos
@@faizduriat4427 I have some smoothies and first they feel and sound great but after some time they feel super slugish and sound super muted
I get what you mean. It tends to sound a little muted if your ears are used to high pitched clack especially if you compare it with HMX (sound and factory lube)
mika growing on me, at first i thought it was too close to serika, but i really been enjoying seeing it on boards
I've yet to unbox my Serika but I do think they're pretty similar. You have a soft spot for man's best friend?
@@DadTech1981 i dont recall ever hearing gat switch clack like on this build. sounds great. pc plate too. great build
@@shylocutus Exactly! It surprised me how loud and clacky in turned out to be. Honestly, I am starting to not like the PC with HMX so I ordered our favorite PP and should be here soon.
What would be the name for this sound? Clack?
I'd like to say somewhere in the middle but leaning toward clack if that makes sense 😁
that thing got some pretty bright rgb
It does! Sometimes I like my RGB every now and then.
wow that looks sooo cool! love it
Thank you! Cheers! 🙌🏼
Oh man, I wish I was able to grab one of these with the transparent case before they went out of stock. Seems like such a banger board for only $50!
The second release had 1.6mm non flex cut and sold out pretty quick! They still have the beige though if you want that
@@DadTech1981goddamn, wonder how it performs foamless
@@ZeroChoices check this out: ua-cam.com/video/O9Ew4hrT-LU/v-deo.html
@@DadTech1981 1.6mm non flex cut might be really good value for foamless
@@ZeroChoices really curious how it'll affect the sound
