as someone from asia, i truly appreciate your channel. Your videos on actual budget keyboards with in-depth analysis and reviews are really helpful. I planning to buy my first DIY keyboard and I was hoping to get a aluminium keyboard.
This thing totally blow me away, it is on par with my other high end boards, the only thing I dislike is that little metal logo on the right side, it makes the whole board look cheap.
@@a15bionic59 if you compared purely the value of what you're paying for, yea it kinda makes sense. For the price of a high end board you could have gotten 2-3 V75
If you listen you can tell it sounds a bit dead. That could be due to the copious amount of foam inside or the switches. I don't think its on par but for something readily available you could probably do worse.
I'm surprised i haven't seen anyone customize the little usb dongle cover. Seems like an obvious and easy thing. Could 3D print something in plastic. Or even very easily make something with metal. It's only a small steaight piece so you could cut a metal strip from your local hardware store in stell, brass, etc. Polish it, paint it, anodize, etc. Get a laser engraving. Hecl you coild probably get something really fancy made from someone if you provide dimensions lole those badges you see on $500 group buy boards.
It's actually quite alot just for a small badge that doesn't do anything much. So maybe people just have better things to do than that. But if I had the machines and skills I would definitely make one
@@itssamueltan Oh but it does not have 2.4ghz only the 75% version has it. th66, esc66, gmk67, lychee g66, which one would be ur second preference? Sorry for the trouble!
Hey no worries! I would get this tbh I like the knob and the layout. As for the HE I think it's more of a performance/gaming first keyboard so if you're into FPS or fast paced games that would be more suitable
Any tips for deepening the spacebar (make lower pitched and thockier) sound through a minimally invasive method? (Prefer not to open up board as I'm inexperienced and don't want to accidentally damage the keyboard)
Sooo I got both the V75 and V65 v2 to compare, and there's actually a bit of a difference in sound and feel. The V65 feels a lot more 'creamy' and satisfying to type on, kinda like a creamy clack fron playing with Legos. The V75 sounds 'deeper', but also louder and hollower, like it has a 'wooden' quality about it. It didn't feel sturdy and premium. In fact, I ordered another V65 because the first one was opened up already (possibly an Amazon return) and had some minor cosmetic issues. Even the two V65s I had showed a lot of difference! So the QC doesn't seem very good and it's on luck whether your particular unit will sound and feel good. The volume knob on the V75 is larger and ribbed-textured around the circumference, so it's objectively better because it rotates more robustly. However, the strip of light on the V75, while fun and nice to look at, ruins the retro aesthetic. But it's not that big of an issue since you can turn it off. The worst offender is the metal wolf cover of the USB receiver; makes the whole unit look cheap. I also personally dislike the tall appearance with the function row, but I want the dedicated tilde button. If only I can have a V65 form factor with a tilde and better volume knob.
@@jlee9360 not a fan of TKL layout (only want 65% or at most 75%), and the aesthetics don't appeal to me. i rather like the retro look of the Cidoo series. the cycle7 is not a better board overall because it lacks the volume knob and looks cheap/tacky. the cidoo V65 (not the V75, which I admit has a metallic receiver cover that looks cheap) is affordably priced while looking and feeling way more expensive. anyway, the after-sales support is better with a known company like Cidoo/Epomaker, but I'd never heard of cycle7 until your comment (so, before your comment. the Cidoo was the best value option and may still be).
yeah exactly the same except for the color this is milky white. this keebz is hard to beat for its price most of group buy doesnt have the per key rgb and tri mode at the same time except for the zoom75
Dang! That was the one "critique" i saw keeping me from getting it. Maybe they updated it. Hope the one I ordered has the same capabilities. Sorry, bank account lol
@@vickytasblock V75 has a matte powder coat finish and the M1 is Anodised CNC aluminium. I just like a more matte texture and the V75 has wireless too and sound better to me
Just got this off taobao, it really sounds and feels AMAZING, highly recommended!
Awesome!

02:49 The PCB is South Facing. I said it wrongly in the video. Hehe
This thing totally blow me away, it is on par with my other high end boards, the only thing I dislike is that little metal logo on the right side, it makes the whole board look cheap.
It does tbh and I'm not even sure what it stands for or represents 😅
How tf is it on par with high end boards?

@@jlee9360 "Sounds dead" is just your opinion and people can always take out some of the damping material to make the sound pop.
turning the spacebar around to do superglides makes this man a real apex gamer haha keep up the good work bro nice vid!
Only true gamers will understand and thanks for the support!
another good bang for buck board.
Yes indeed
Is the sound from the video the same as the actual sound?
Yea straight from the keyboard
Perfect, but why this awful color and not plain black?
I'm not sure too kinda sad right? I wish they would make more colourways
I think this is a south facing PCB
because the socket is on the top
Yeap it's south facing, I just said it wrongly in the video :c
What sound does this keyboard have? Creamy or Clacky or Thocky?
I would say it's more clacky and Thocky
@@itssamueltan How can you achieve creamy and thocky in it?
I'm having a hard time whether I should get Keych Q1 or this one😭. Would love to know which one you'd prefer
I prefer this tbh
Can you remove the battery so always wired?
Yeap
2:49 north facing?
South facing, I totally mentioned it wrongly 🥲

Between the th66, esc66, v65, gmk67, lychee g66, which one would you recommend? Thanks
V65 has a metal body and I prefer that over the plastic cases
@@itssamueltan may I ask if the Bluetooth in v65 is enough for gaming
@@foot7025 use the 2.4ghz it's much better than the BT
@@itssamueltan Thanks master

Same
Cuál es el modelo del Mousepad?
Es un tapete de escritorio personalizado que se vende aquí en Malasia. facebook.com/100089985764410/videos/143197628735216
Switches sound like typical every run of the mill keyboard these days (like shit)
Switches only play a small part tbh, the mods are what changes the sound of the keyboard
your mic is clipping
Yea I know, but I think I configured it out now 🥲
can we use this with iPad?
Yes with Bluetooth
@@itssamueltan thanks sir
Sorry to bother you. Thanks for the review. Would you get this or the Wooting HE?
Hey no worries! I would get this tbh I like the knob and the layout. As for the HE I think it's more of a performance/gaming first keyboard so if you're into FPS or fast paced games that would be more suitable

You could try adding some foam / tape to spacebar keycap to dampen the sound
Thanks for your swift reply! Btw, can the V75 RGB work wirelessly?
@@natphil8377 yeappp
I use blu tac and it works great
@@kenny8865 yes that's a great way too
If possible, I really appreciate if you comment and add flex test in future video since we are talking about the gasket mount keyboard
Understandable, I did show and mention the flex of the Pc plate, but I think doing a flex test before the typing would be great too
there is barely any flex. i have to press down very hard to see any movement

For that price you could have gotten a cycle7 which probably is a better board overall.

I believe this board is the lmk81 it looks too similar
Yeap, same OEM, so it's the same as the LMK81 and FinalKey V81 Plus
yeah exactly the same except for the color this is milky white. this keebz is hard to beat for its price most of group buy doesnt have the per key rgb and tri mode at the same time except for the zoom75
@@cyclode9584not exactly the same. The case is a different design. V75 is more boxy while the lmk81 has rounded edges.
hello friend, can you tell me the diameter of the volume knob? I would like to buy one in a different color, but I don't know where to find it.
Hello I'm not sure 🥲
around 1.6cm
17 mm
this or monsgeek m1?
Depends if you want wireless or not
@@itssamueltan if thats not my concern then which one should i go for..because there is also a M1W
@@Zenith_1234 honestly I like the look and feel of V75 more, but the Monsgeek is more high quality
thanks, i have decided to go for tha M1 as i can buy the barebones kit and personalize the feel and looks
This one or Nuphy Halo 75?
I prefer CIDOOs Case design
the switch are lubed when u buy or u lube them?
:O
Came lubed
Such a nice review
Thanks!
Can you try this with other switch?
Like upload another typing sound test?
@@itssamueltan oh yea. Maybe a short will do. Just wanna see if any other high end switch sounds good on this budget case hahahaha

Cidoo for me if wireless
@@itssamueltan what about by buildquality, RGB, and features?
Are you using the RGB on wireless mode? A lot of reviews say that RGB is only able to be turned on in Wired Mode.
Yea mine is on during Wireless, for me it works with BT and 2.4ghz with no problems
Dang! That was the one "critique" i saw keeping me from getting it. Maybe they updated it. Hope the one I ordered has the same capabilities. Sorry, bank account lol
@@pltravsi think that was a problem on the v65 but the v75 works not sure. Did you confirm this when you got your keeb?
Is it an aluminum chassis?
Yes CNC and powder coated
Which one is, m1 or v75?
