Hi! I'm looking for advice on which keyboard to buy. I've never assembled a custom keyboard before, and as far as I understand it, all the components I need to buy are either the "boards" or the "base" for the keyboard. I'm not sure what else I'll need to purchase. It's possible that I'll need only switches and keycaps, but I'm not sure. I have four options to choose from: 1. The Week Lucky65 V2 keyboard costs $70. 2. The EPOMAKER x Faker Galaxy 80 costs $60. 3. The ZOYA GMK87 costs $50. 4. The KBD fans Tiger Lite ISO costs $115. I'm buying that from aliexpress btw)( so... I would appreciate any help or advice on which option is the best for me. Thx
Hello! I would be happy to give you advice. First question tho, what size do you want to have? Would you prefer a 65% like the Lucky65? Or a TKL like the rest of the boards? I have only had the chance to look at the lucky65 v2 and a kbdfans tiger80. Both are good for the price. But between these, id prefer the lucky65 because of the form factor and the fact that it has alu case. I have not had a chance to check the Epomaker x Faker Galaxy nor the Zuoya GMK87 but if I were to choose, id pick the Epomaker one as because of the case which is alu still. All the keyboards you have on your list are fine keebs from good brand. So ultimately, I think the form factor would be the determining factor. Also note that the Lucky65V2 has a more foamy sound and sounds a bit quieter without it.
@@XaclainRecords Thank you for your answer. I think the 80% format is preferable. In a couple of days, I came across an interesting option - a used Neo80 keyboard that, according to the seller, had been in use for three months. The price is $120, but the keyboard is without switches and keycaps. What do you think of this option?
Ohh! The neo80 is a really good keyboard. A friend of mine has it. If you have a little bit more to spend on, I would go this route. I have a Neo65 and I love it. It’s one of my favorites boards in the collection. If your worried about the switches and keycaps, right now, you can get budget stuff for now. Then slowly build your way to a GMK Keycap set and your ideal switches.
@@XaclainRecords Thanks for the advice! I think I'll buy it. However, there is one more question I have. This model has a PCB that is attached to magnets ( maybe all Neo models have this feature). I'm not sure if a special PCB is needed for this model. Is it possible to buy another PCB to replace this one? Do I need a specific Neo model or can I use any other one? I haven't had a chance to assemble a keyboard yet. I think I need a special PCB with magnets, but I'm not sure how often they can be found. If something happens, I might never be able to replace them.
Youre welcome! Here in the Philippines, there are companies creating a PC plate for the Lucky65. If you do consider buying this, at least it might be an option in the future.
Ohh! Its a bit confusing to use at first. Make sure to do the following: 1. Load the JSON File 2. Go to Layer 1 to change the functions you want from Multimedia to F1 to F12. 3. Save it if you want a copy of it :D Let me know if it still doesn't work. I just checked mine now and it works! :)
vertex v1 switches are good with most keyboards and will give u a nice deep thock. i BELIEVE there are videos of vertex v1 and lucky65 v1 sound tests on utube but u'll have to verify that urself with a quick search. I would recommend tho if ur willing to spend the extra money on vertex v1, u can also try HMX cheese switches if it piques ur interest or ktt kang whites if ur looking for more budget (although ktt kang whites almost always need u to hand lube if ur subconscious about scratchiness)
Hii! Yes. I think it is compatible! Ohhhh! Thats a fine choice for switches. What keycaps are you planning to use? Also good luck on the build! The Lucky65 V2 really is very easy to build. You will enjoy it!
Hello! I have not had the chance to check out the GX87 but from the looks of it, the keyboard is greatly priced. I think this will boil down to whether or not you like the form factor which is TKL. Either is good tbh but depending on where you are, the Lucky65 V2 is definitely cheaper. For the price, its via compatible already too!
Hey thanks for answering,I think your opinion is Fair and I think I’ll go for the gx87 because I value f row and it has some features that I like but for me I don’t think the price will be changing that much because I’ll get the bare bone kit for lucky 65v2 and cost around 110sr (30 usd) More for the gx87 but for the full build I think gx87 will be better
Hello! Unfortunately I don't use macros so I h8ave not tested this. When you say you can't use it, do you mean the one you have saved is not accessible during 2.4ghz mode?
@@sheikh_m_naim Oh that sucks :( I should try testing macros from keyboards. I have no idea if this is an isolated case or if this is for every keyboard with macro capability.
Hello! Ohhh thats a bit more expensive. I think it would still be worth it. The only downside of the this is the fact that we can’t use screw in stabs. That’s it. Other than that, it’s such a nice board. The finish is great, the latch system doesn’t have any issues. Its good to have!
At that price point you can probably find a used Neo65 in your local community, but I think Lucky's still worth it just not the best value at that price
Yeah thats true! I will be giving this to my wife once I take photos of it. If she would want to just stick to wired mode, I might just detach the battery.
but the foam is a 3pin...why dont you show it and tell ppl youre using 3pin or 5pin switches....it is very important for beginner, this will make them confuse
Hello! I actually showed the PCB in the video where it clearly shows the 5 pins at 2:25 of the video. I tend to not mention if a switch is 3 pin or 5 pins as if the PCB is already 5-pin then whatever switch you use, regardless of 3 pin or 5 pin will work.
immediately bought after seeing this video! good work lad
Heyy! Nicee! Im happy you were able to buy this. What color did you get and what switches and keycaps are you planning to build with?
wow your video quality and angle is so good i hope one day i can afford to buy a camera to improve my video quality good luck from vietnam 😘😘

Will this give a thoccky sound with boba u4t? It has fr4 plate. It will be more clacky!?
Hello! If you use all the foam, yes. It does give a thocky sound profile.
@@XaclainRecords I was always a PC plate user. So, this fr4 is new to me. It gives the neutral sound. Thanks though.

What's a VIA?
Hi! VIA is an App or web app you can use to change key functions or layouts of your keyboard. Not all keyboards support VIA but the Lucky65 V2 does!
I have an issue with mine I just got it today, when I press the fn+1 it only use the multimedia functions. How do I use it as f1 key?
Hello! You might need to set it up on VIA. Have you tried that yet?
@@XaclainRecords I tried but it still doesn't register orrrr I just dont know how to use VIA lmao Im just new with VIA
Ohh! Its a bit confusing to use at first. Make sure to do the following:
1. Load the JSON File
2. Go to Layer 1 to change the functions you want from Multimedia to F1 to F12.
3. Save it if you want a copy of it :D
Let me know if it still doesn't work. I just checked mine now and it works! :)
@@iracalma2963 fn + left ctrl that triggers it, Try it. When you press those combo. It enables the deafult F1 functions.
Do you think the vertex v1s will be compatible with this? Im building the lucky65 v2 as my first custom keyboard!
vertex v1 switches are good with most keyboards and will give u a nice deep thock. i BELIEVE there are videos of vertex v1 and lucky65 v1 sound tests on utube but u'll have to verify that urself with a quick search.
I would recommend tho if ur willing to spend the extra money on vertex v1, u can also try HMX cheese switches if it piques ur interest or ktt kang whites if ur looking for more budget (although ktt kang whites almost always need u to hand lube if ur subconscious about scratchiness)
Hii! Yes. I think it is compatible!
Ohhhh! Thats a fine choice for switches. What keycaps are you planning to use?
Also good luck on the build! The Lucky65 V2 really is very easy to build. You will enjoy it!
@@XaclainRecords Hello! Thank you very much for your assistance. For my keycaps I’ll be using the GMK Earth tones was given to me😄
You're welcome! Those are amazing keycaps! Good luck on the build!
@@XaclainRecords Thank you! Looking forward to your future uploads!
What do you recommend more gx87 or lucky 65v2 I’ve been on the fence for these two

More for the gx87 but for the full build I think gx87 will be better
Noiceee! Im excited for your build! I think thats a good choice too!
Show me a pic of your full build once you’re done and good luck!
I will
Could tell you the specs
Where did you buy that keycaps?
Hello! I got the keycap set here:

I have a question, I can't use macro on 2.4ghz, Macros are working only on wired mode in VIA. DId you try any? Please, do let me know.
Hello! Unfortunately I don't use macros so I h8ave not tested this. When you say you can't use it, do you mean the one you have saved is not accessible during 2.4ghz mode?
@@XaclainRecords Yes, only works at wired mode. Not 2.4ghz

Hello Fellow Cebuano!!
Helllloooooo! Tara Siomai! Haha.
80 USD here in the US... worth?

Ohhh. Thats nice! I didnt think of the neo65 as in the second hand market here in the Philippines, the Neo65 still costs a bit more than 100 usd. XD
you forgot one other con, the on and off switch 😭, its really annoying but regardless of that i still love it
Hello! Oh yeah! You are right! That is really annoying xD But it's not that big of a deal tbh.
@@XaclainRecords true but its kinda annoying to bring a switch puller, and my fingers hurt when taking it off without the puller
I 1000% agree! That's why if I use the Lucky65, I use it in wired mode xD
@@XaclainRecords i forgot about that, but then we would have to charge it
Yeah thats true! I will be giving this to my wife once I take photos of it. If she would want to just stick to wired mode, I might just detach the battery.

realisticly you can just cut the 2 plastic pins off the side without effecting the switch too much
