helloooooo~~!! Its been a hot minute since I've uploaded a long-form video here haha but thankfully my spring semester is over and Ill have the whole summer to film and edit keeb vids for yall :D
For this build, unikeyboards.com was kind enough to send me both the switches and keycaps! Unikeyboards has an IMMENSE selection of switches from a variety of manufacturers including HMK BSUN JWK and more I highly recommend you check them out!
This isn't too popular of a board compared to brands like Neo, QK, or Zoom, and its not at the price level of other budget alu TKLs like the Nuphy Gem80 or Epomaker x Feker Galaxy80, but I love how this board looks and feels more premium and luxurious. The stainless steel weight bar is SUPER HEAVY which easily makes it my heaviest board apart from my Zoom98. The design and smol light bar on the side is super sleek and I'm very pleased with the end result :D I'll probably end up changing out the switches since the Agarwoods have a slight scratch to them though.
For a price point of $209.00 USD I feel like this board isn't too expensive for what it offers but there are definitely cheaper options available on the market! I personally already have a lot of the more well-known budget-friendly boards already and wanted to try something that wasn't as commonly seen on social media.
If you like really hefty boards and are willing to pay a little more for luxury I think it's worth giving this keeb a try! See you soon :D
