    Can’t even fathom how much time it took to put together all the sound tests, especially for a board with so many keys! It’s too big for me, but definitely want to continue to applaud QK for giving folks lots of plate / pcb customization in addition to all the cosmetics. If someone like QK can be doing this, it almost makes me surprised KBDFans (which presumably operates at a larger scale than QK/Owl Labs) doesn’t at least offer non-flex cuts PCBs in the new Tofu cases.

    although I'm waiting for the QK75 r2 (Copium, missed r1) I was looking forward to this from you, QK80 ping was too off putting to get but if I wasn't sold on size the QK100 sounds and looks so great imo.

    • @wolf-xf6hf
      @wolf-xf6hf 11 місяців тому

      You can actually fix the ping on the qk80 really easily. The trick is just doing 1 layer of a force break mod and then just leaving the keyboard to sit with the PCB, plate, and switches in it for like a day and it straightens out the plates and removes the ping entirely

    • @Akeynote
      @Akeynote  10 місяців тому +1

      I’m reviewing the cycle 7 now. I’m not done testing but I think I like the QK more sound wise, but the cycle 7 space bar is nuts and coating looks nicer IRL. As far as against the previous QK boards, pretty in line with the 80 but quality over all is the best. I feel like they try and make things feel more premium each time. I could just be thinking new shiny board equals more quality.

      It’s not really a fair comparison. Gmk is literally double the price, but you get what you pay for. Legending, feel and sound on these QK caps hit well above the asking price and somewhat a steal when included in the bundle. With that said, of course GMK’s legending is superior
