    Can I just say that I love that you do latency tests, you are the only keyboard enthusiast that actually does that on UA-cam, you just earned a subscription :)

    Quite a number of nice upgrades over the Lucky65! I really like this sound as well! If it's not VIA, which I don't think this is (but I could be wrong) I definitely prefer a knob as otherwise I would want to mod some keys for vol adjustment. Great soothing review as always!

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  28 днів тому +1

      I absolutely agree with this! It's not VIA, even though their just-released SK75 does support VIA. These differences are always interesting, I guess it has to do something with the available PCBs for the production, or it might be just a wild guess ^^ Thank you so much!

    Love the review as always, you always make them so informative and aesthetic! I had a question about the wireless-wired switch tho, I watched some other reviews that say you can just press FN+Tab to turn it from wireless to wired as well so you don't need to remove the keycap every time. Do you know if that actually works?

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  24 дні тому +1

      Yes, it works, but this way the keyboard is constantly looking for the 'wake-up' key combination (hence minimally draining the battery), and it can be triggered while traveling with the keyboard. So I still prefer a physical switch.

    Very good review. Essentially, this is a version of the Lucky65 with a knob. I have the Lucky65 and I really like it. I might get the SK65 just to have knob version lol

    I insta-ordered their SK75 aluminum keyboard that as just announced. Then I realized how much it looks just like my Rainy75. Good thing I love that keyboard! I'm wondering if you'll get a unit to review soon? I've been really impressed by the quality of Womier products these days. I have a number of their double-shot PBT keycap sets that are very very good for the price. They've come a long way in the last few years! One of my first mechanical keyboards was a Womier K68 layered acrylic but it was never very good, no matter how hard I tried modding it.

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  28 днів тому +1

      I agree, Womier has improved quite a lot in recent months! (Oh my, so many changes in the past months on the mech keyboard market, isn't it?)
      Oh, nice, which color did you choose? Yes, another Beige unit is on its way to me! ^^ The similarities to the Rainy75 are undeniable (there are so many keyboards looking almost identical that I can't believe they're not connected somehow - or maybe the designers realized that it's the most popular layout...?.. Who knows. :))

      @@nebulazykbs Oh, beige twins then! ^^ One of the main reasons I got into custom keyboards is that I had enough of the standard black keyboards (originally I was into white or pink, but I ended up with a bunch of colors LOL), so I totally see your point there!

    Did Glarses designed the Lucky65 keycaps? The fonts looked like it was written by the same marker he used where he re-map all the keys to only input the letter A.

    Is it possible for you to redo the latency test on the Lucky65 and SK65 friend? People compared their PCBs and apart from a different number they are actually the same, even with holes for a knob

    • @thoccnology
      @thoccnology  14 днів тому

      The different numbers actually mean it's a different PCB. Even the flex-cuts are completely different.

      They make the sound profile poppier - also it's said that with ixpe foam all builds ' sound the same' - I find this a bit exaggerating, but it's true that it gives off a foamy sound no matter the switch.
