So back in 2022, the QK65 was pretty much THE keyboard that everyone was raving about. Then it sold out and people were sad... But if you missed the QK65 and still want something similar, Qwertykeys teamed up with Cub Studio to bring out the new QK65... I mean the Cub65. Check it out!

As THE guy who advocates for budget boards crushing expensive boards, I’m shocked you haven’t made a video on the envoy yet
What’s the best keyboard for 100$?
@@gameboyv1790monsgeek m series
prob not affiliates
@@gameboyv1790 no such thing as a BEST board, but KeyChron has boards in stock and pretty fast shipping. Their cases have some pretty bad pinging but that's easily fixed
if mode didn’t send it how is he supposed to to review it
Thanks, always rely on you giving me the heads-up. 👍😎👍
Wow the explanation on this keyboard was so helpful! I ordered this keyboard after watching this video! By the way, it will arrive in September. Thank you!!!😊😊
I would love to see a sound test comparison of a taped flex cut pcb vs the non flex cut pcb to see how effective taping is!
The FR4 build sounds incredible!
I think what makes the QK65 sound the way it does is the lower case design and the huge silicon wedge in the bottom case. After using the QK65 for almost a year and loving it I purchased a QK75 and if it had that wedge I think it would sound a lot better but sadly it just doesn’t sound as good as the OG.
Thanks for the video on the cub, Scott!
I'm looking forward to the "new" qk65 at the end of the year. I'm interested to see what qk will change!
There Def will be improvements!
Nice vid mate, love it
Gorgeous. Would have gone for this but I went for JRIS65 after missing the QK65. So many other good keebs came out before I even received my JRIS -_-
Ayy first❤❤ love the vids man, keep it up.
Thank you!
Looks like my Bear65 is gonna have a Cub in several months! 🐻❄️
Regarding the warm off-white color, that seem to be a constant among qwertykeys white boards, which is imo the main downside of qwertykeys boards. Got that on the qk65, got that on the qk75 as well
Nice to see an ISO option! Already ordered a Zoom75, but might have to unshackle the bank account once more...
Thanks for the review Scott! Huge credit to QK starting to offer non-flex cut PCBs for their boards! I also saw the JRIS 65 R2 is looking to add 1.6mm non-flex cut PCB, great to see manufacturers responding to community feedback!
Yup! Always good to see manufacturers taking feedback!
New to this hobby. Can you explain the benefit of a 1.6mm non flex cut PCB? I have the R1 Jris 65 but I actually need to get a new PCB for it since I messed mine up. My first board lol. So I was going to buy just a PCB.
@@joelman1989 Flex cut PCBs tend to have a more airy / less full sound. Less rigid PCBs (like a 1.2 mm vs. 1.6mm) also translate less vibration from the PCB / plate assembly to the case, and tend to be quieter. Keybored has a video with a Thera75 v2 where he tapes the flex cuts and does a before and after!
That said, sound is also going to be affected by the given case / switches / plate type. I’d say if you want something with as soft a typing experience as possible and don’t want to solder, get a polycarbonate or POM plate and a 1.2 mm flex cut PCB. You can get an even softer typing experience if you’re willing to solder a plateless build. Otherwise, you’ll very likely get a fuller sound at the expense of some softness in the typing experience with a 1.6 mm think pcb with no flex cuts. Also if you’re going for a stiffer plate (e.g. FR4, Carbon Fiber, Aluminum) I think the flex cuts will offer even less benefit.
I’d also highly recommend picking up an extra daughterboard/jst cable! I actually just bought one (even though my R1 version works fine) because the original JST cable was so dang short.
after all those expensive boards I hope next video is about the Q1 Pro :)
QK65 R2 is releasing at the end of the year. Cub65 is a separate product line and is not the successor to the QK65.
I know haha. But they are so close because of the qk collab
Nope, QK65 R2 is complete. QK65 v2 is coming this year.
@@packetauditor My bad, that's what I meant.
i like the purple color (2:40) and rounded corners. finally a place for my hangwa caps, i was gonna put it on my current board but they didn't match the color at all
Key cap matching can be tough!
I received this in white and I absolutely love it! I realised that illumkb has Zoom65 EE R2 in stock. Is it worth buying the Zoom65 when I already have this? I remember banging my head when I missed the GB of zoom in lilac colour. I always want lilac or pink but I end up getting neutral colour and think that I should get one in pretty colours…
Weird that they didn't give an option to put in a knob instead of the badge.
Great video! looks like I missed the gb. Would it be possible for you to recommend a 65 keyboard that is in stock? Thanks!🙂
10:06 size is everything... when it comes to keyboards.
Exactly... Cant take up to much desk space ;)
Amazing Content!!. Well here are my thoughts after owning a QK65. Honestly the board felt so dead without the PE Foam, I tried tons of switches, configs, and mods. I could never make this board clack like the sound signature I always wanted. Overall it is still an amazing board! If you are into marbly/creamy sounding board, you cant go wrong with a qk65 and this new board right here.
The Cub65 comes with a non-flex cut PCB option, unlike the QK65 though. So hopefully that will help with the sound. Curious to see reviewers test this out with the non-flex PCB in the future to see if this board will be capable of some clack!
Try the zoom65 it’s clacky sounding
@@BreathOfDust Thanks for this!! I was actually searching for one in the marketplace. Though I might not get one since I traded my QK65 to a neko60 and im really satisfied!!
@@claud2755 oh yeah the bakeneko goes hard I totally forgot about it
I also missed the Cub65 group buy.
just wondering if the white on the cub65 is as white as the jris65?
Kinda wish they were selling the weights separately as well
Hi! Please review a low budget board again pls try the ik65 ☺️
Wish i got my hands on the pbtfans deep sea predator :c it's so beautiful
tbh I don't like the sound of tapping on hollow aluminum, which is what this sounds like to me. I'm happy with my jris65 and never thought twice about not getting the QK65 lol
let me know when the TKL comes around again. Ill probably buy it. god I hate group buys.
Man im gonna miss this too can't even get this when im from Serbia. The reason is always shpping fee and sometimes tax fee and serbia isn't an eu country. 😔😢
Animal themed BADGERS?
I am just waiting for a qk100
Wonder when companies will start making their popular boards like the qk65 an in stock item?
They need to upfront the cost now rather than making us the consumers go through a GB process again.
the key here is the customization options - obviously can't offer that much flexibility if it's in-stock. At least not for small companies like us.
The only real competitor for the qk65/cub65 that you can still order in stock is the mode envoy
the Tofu65 2.0 though.......
The new tofu is pretty mid imo it doesn’t sound very good probably because of the flex cuts
Nothing to do with this video but not sure If I'll ever jump to any group order boards ever. Decided to go with QK75 as my first custom board and still waiting here in EU. Meanwhile they came out with TKL board which had late group order at Candykeys. Also new version of QK65 coming out. Either Qwertykeys isn't shipping any to EU or something is up with Candykeys.
It’s possible it’s getting sent to CandyKeys before getting shipped to you. Supposedly, the qk75 should have started shipping recently.
@@AAButtery Yep, I know that it’s shipped trough Candykeys. They first said that they’ll receive them in April when I asked in February and then they said first week of May in April. So hopefully they have actually received them from Qwertykeys and they’re shipping them.
@@Simon_Denmark I bought the QK80 myself, and I’m really hoping to get it before July lol. Their current deadline is mid June
@@AAButtery The group order for the QK80 was late in their site wasn't it? I would have went with the QK80 instead of 75 If I knew that it was coming. Hopefully you get yours soon.
Candykeys seems to be slow with fulfilling any of their orders in general
The qk65 will be doing another gb but I think that'll be next year
yup - a revamped design
@@qwertykeys2119 oh nice i did not expect confirmation like this. since I have you here,
are there plans for a rerun of the qk75 too?
I hopped on it and i got the wrong colour 😭and I realised too late so now i cant get a replacement board and only a refund
Where do i buy this from in the UK?
You don't. That's your punishment for being British 🤮
I think there are a list of vendors on that link!
Whale or dolphin that is the real question
you gon look at the m2 or m3?
Mneva
The cars or the keyboards?
@@Keybored the cars
How is it sold out already 😢
not started yet my friend - sale starts on 19th
@qwertykeys2119 you know what that makes complete sense my bad 🤪 LOL
@@wolfsid00196 live now!
Another gasket mount with foam and flex cuts 😔
I still prefer QK65.. Great video, as always.
Sounds good!
Yea why spend $600 on a 65% when you can get this. Most of the time you can't see the bottom of your board anyways and most 65% look the same
That is definitely a dolphin and not a whale lol.
How is the QK65 going for $400? It literally defeats the whole point that it is a budget keyboard. So many other keyboards are mid to high-end that cost that much. Just get one of those instead.
probably aftermarket prices ?
@qwertykeys2119 yes, but i was saying that it's not worth that price. Just get something else at that point.
Getting this one for my fiance, it looks great
Perhaps some flowers too? 🌹
Can I marry you instead
If she's lucky 😂😉
your fiance hates you btw
@@frogguy1178 of course bro!
This? Or Mode Envoy?
mode envoy solos all
Solos all? I dont understand. chatGPT doesnt either
The phrase "mode envoy solos all" is not a common English expression or command. Without additional context, it is difficult to determine its precise meaning.
However, "mode" generally refers to a specific setting or configuration, while "envoy" can refer to a person who is sent on a diplomatic mission. "Solos" may refer to a musical performance where a single musician plays without accompaniment.
It is possible that this phrase could be a technical or musical command that is specific to a particular software, hardware, or musical instrument. Without more context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning of this phrase.
@@0xBULLgogi boi what the hell boi
The envoy costs twice or even three times as much as this. Of course it's going to be better in pretty much every way.
@@onehitking9124 LOL i was just saying i dont really understand what "solos" means. And i tried to use chatGPT to figure it out and it doesnt know either 💀
like the sound but dont like the rounded edges that much
7:39 9:22
should've been named round boi 65
Hiiii Scott :)
Hi
Hiya
lol that translates to shame on you
Haha
Guess who missed The Cub65 GB too?
I'm banging my head on the table for not dicovering this video sooner! :/
Not a fan of the design of this board
it's so cute tho
Always great content 🎉🎉🎉. Hey Scott which of these three 75% Keyboard is good and worth to buy
KBD Odin 75 , JRIS 75 or Moonsgeek? Your opinion is really important.. thanks so much. Anyone can help me out please as well ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹.
I didn’t know how much longer I could take without a new keybored vid 🥹
It's been a minute haha
