No foams with the gaskets sounds amazing
Nice vid mate
I really like the raw copper weight. There are some people that have flame painted it and it looks spectacular.
I would love to flame paint mine, looks amazing!
Seems to sound better with the gasket mounts, still waiting on mine to arrive... been about a month so hopefully soon! Great video, thank you for displaying the sounds! I ordered the more expensive weight after seeing that on the website but you are right, I don't think I have seen any other reviewer mention it!
No worries! Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I think i prefer the gasket mounts now too, they are easier when removing the pcb and typically stay in the plate with zero effort. Hope you enjoy the keyboard!
Thanks for the warning on the weight, I hadn't even thought about that when I bought it. Mine should be here in a few days, I think I'll use some ceramic coating.
Love your videos as always, surprised you dont have more subs
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them
another banger
can confirm we have turtle wax in the US at least! Appreciate the review! Maybe it’s just a subset of crazy folks, but I gather that there are some people who actually really enjoy a weight with patina. Regardless, it’s wild to think about what’s available at this price point now vs. a few years ago (when we’d have been looking at maybe a bakeneko with a powder coated finish or some sort of tray mount). Really like the slim bezels and color options on this board!
Haha I do see the appeal, in that case maybe its an upgrade not to have the weight spray coated from the factory 😂. I’ve seen some nice flame patina fades too, would be keen to try that, just need to get my hands on a blowtorch 🤔.
@@dill-keebs I bet Mode made a killing selling flame patina accents for the Sonnet!
Board is a certified slapper
Indeed it is!
Planning to put Gmk striker on this green case , Do you think it would fit the theme ?
I love my neo65. It was my first build. I actually want another as I bought the red which I don't really care for but the green looks great.
I was so close to buying one myself but missed the group buy window here in aus, so i'm super grateful I was able to review it! I've seen that the 70% neo is getting released soon so I'd be keen to own a few different sizes if they continue to be this good and cheap!
@@dill-keebs I didn't realize they were going to release a 70. I will definitely pick one of those up when they release. I used to be a 100% kind of guy until I tried the 65%. I am surprised you can't get the neo65 in AUS as it is an in stock board
Yeah unfortunately Australia was limited to buy the neo through an aus vendor I believe, and they only ran the neo65 for two weeks. Unless qk changed the process for the neo?
@@dill-keebs Never understood the issues shipping to AUS. Seems silly in the modern world but I may be spoiled in the US. They don't have anything saying they don't ship to AUS except that they need to use a local carrier which probably means more money.
How is it compare to the jris65 sound wise?
Hey I have a question. I’d like to start reviewing keyboards but how do I get companies to send me keyboard? Most people need 10k or more but you got it at 1k. Do u have any tips?
Hey man, i am currently considering buying a Neo65 mainly for the wireless 2.4 gHz usage.
I have read some reviews of people struggeling to get it to work with the adapter.
Have you had some issues with the adapter connecting to the keyboard ?
Help greatly appreciated
sincerely charlie
Hey mate! I did have this issue as well, however it only occurred when initially trying to pair the keyboard to the receiver. On the Neo65 Build Guide Notion they have a few different methods to try and connect the two together, and after messing around for about 10 minutes I was finally able to connect the two by removing the other dongles I had in my PC (one for my mouse and another keyboard) and it was able to successfully connect. Since then I have had no issues with the 2.4ghz connection itself, and I can have both my mouse and my keyboard receivers plugged in right next to each other with no issues.
Totally understand the concern, but I think its just the initial pairing between the keyboard and the receiver with other potential bluetooth wireless connection methods interfering with the signal.
Hope this helps!
2 years now of wishing any of these damn things would come with a proper split spacebar… even the Zoom's have that weird layout instead of the 1.25/2.25/2.75
Hahaha hopefully one day! With the way pcbs are going its only a matter of time
Does it sound same in real life?
yes it does, heavenly
I think patina could look pretty cool too on a keyboard.
Totally! i was thinking of doing this but I don’t think it would look as good with the green case. If I had the cream or white case I would!
@@dill-keebs Yeah patina on white would look great.

So... I don't really understand why people like to put fancy mirrored weights on the BOTTOM side of the keyboard. Like... that's nice and all, but it's on the bottom side of my keyboard. The side that faces my desk. Just give me whatever's cheapest and I'll deal with the oxidation, thanks.
When will you review the real gamechanger, the Razer BlackWidow? Hundreds are begging for it. Who are you to deny their cries?
Send me your black widow
foam = skill issue
fake..
it literally is, you are just making a board sound generic by killing frequencies with foam. @@creationfied
and if you are shoving foam into your keyboard just because you cant make it sound good it speaks about your building skills, it could be that you are bad at tunning stabs, bad at lubing, bad at soldering or bad at making a good choices in switches like for example buying JWK recolors for 0.75$ a switch@@creationfied
or like you could be wrong@@T3mina
ok, explain why @@creationfied
I'm not asking how $80 is possible, I'm asking how you think $80 is budget is possible💀
average keyboard enthusiasts standard
Lmao if u think 80 dollars is expensive go get ur life sorted out. Instead of looking for things to please yourself u should be figuring out how to survive. An average grocery run is 80 to 100 if you can’t even afford a grocery run u shouldn’t Be looking at keyboards
