"Sheeesh"
This red and copper gives me the unikorn vibe
Baby Unikorn anyone? Lol
I have been wanting to try an o-ring, and it looks like this may be the board to try since that foamless o-ring mount sounds pretty solid with those Owlab Lattes!
Thanks for your thoughts on the Cycle7 at the end. I'm considering getting both, but your video gave me some good insight.
No problem! Very nice board either way just some things to consider
Very detailed and fun video to watch! Now am a fan of ur channel! Keep up the good work man😃
Thank you for your support 🙌😌
dude this video is so well done. incredible. thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Picked up one of these just to try it out and it has honestly become my daily driver ever since. Got the pom and Fr4 plates and I have to say, with only plate foam and the Fr4 it sounds incredible. I am really loving the direction this hobby is going in terms of what you can get for the price. The gap between high end boards and so called "entry level" boards is getting smaller every day. Thanks for the review Zeke.
It's a perfect video from the real visual beauty to the sound. I watched and learned a lot!! I will visit you often in the future. Please upload a good video.
Thanks for watching! You are appreciated 🙏
Great video man, do you think you'll do anymore sound test? I'm curious what a o-ring all foam config would sound like.
Thanks Luis! I can try it out, I imagine it would sound pretty similar though. It’s very foamy sounding in person with all foams
Great video my man 💪🏾
Much love , thank you 🙏
AMAZING review! although i am not getting this board (maybe the next neo board?) this gives a lot of information and i'm excited for the owlab latte switch review
Thanks for tuning in! Yea I believe they have quite a few Neo boards on the horizon. Yea I’m loving these switches so far! Reviews almost done for those
Neo70 frl-tkl otw
That reviews out btw if you hadn’t caught yet! ua-cam.com/video/J422fnPr0BI/v-deo.html
They just announced the Neo70 too, looks pretty solid
Amazing review g
Thanks for watching 🙏
Dope review broooo.
Thanks for watching!
amazing video bro!! Is this going to be a group buy or is delivery going be quick?
This will be an instock release, more info at the end of the vid!
Thoughts on the lube job?
Inwas looking at the choice65 a few weeks back until o came across the neo65. Immediately knew this was the one on a budget. Going to end up with multiple because I can't decide. It reminds me so much of the Envoy but better value. Love that copper weight.
It be like that ha
How do I enable the bluetooth and 2.4 GHz mode because for some reason it's not working for me.
Hi thx for the video. Do you think I can reach a high pitched clack with no foam, Alu plate and the right switches (like Owlab neon switches)
Probably, it was pretty high pitch already with CF and Lattes foamless. I don’t have an alu to try but Neons pretty much clack on anything lol
does it come with stabs? i didnt hear anything about them.
Might have to cop. Entry gotten insane. Oring is fire. Still love my neko60. Simple but hard to beat.
Tell me about it lol 🤯
CF seems more harsh? The alu is the nice balance clack and I like it more
bet this would slap with oring mount and an alu plate
your level of production deserves more praise tho ngl
Thank you Phil. I’ll keep grinding for you guys
I wonder if there is some misunderstanding? it seems that latte switch comes from qwertykeys, and neo65 is made by a sub-team of qwertykeys, not neo studio?
So the Latte Switch is by Owlab and manufactured by SWK. These aren’t included in the Neo65 at all, just my switch of choice for the build.
Let me clarify though,
Ultimately QwertyKeys is a sister company of Owlab. Different owners but shared resources and aspects of production. Neo65 is designed by Neo of Neo Studio and fulfilled by QK. There’s a closer relationship between QK & Neo than Owlab, but all under the same umbrella from my understanding.
I honestly loved the all foam config the most out of these. Sue me, I love foam lol
Can’t hate on that ha
Is there something wrong with all foams? I'm pretty sure this hobby blossomed in popularity because of people uploading their all foam Creamy/marbly /Thocky builds ASMR sound tests videos on all socials and hence a lot of us got sucked into this rabbit hole, atleast that's how I've found myself into this.
Na it’s all preference, enjoy what you enjoy that’s what make custom keyboards so fun.
I think from a reviewers standpoint a lot us have become foamed out haha. You notice the sound of each case and sometimes some foam is better than just stuffing the thing 😂
Lately, there's a lot of people acting like foam sound is "cheap" and hating on it. There's trends in the keyboard hobby and those change over time@@emancipatedraws8549
@@grubbygeorge2117 That is very unfortunate, Imo I believe newbies generally get attracted into this rabbit hole because of "Thock" and the amazing mods that make keyboards sound like Marbles. I can't really wrap my head how that will go out of trend and be something to be sorry for even wanting to be a preference.
Here in my country, our main social hub is thru Facebook and a lot of keyboard modders are earning a lot of money thru commissions and it's always all foams.
I also personally rock 2 alu kits, Monsgeek M1 wireless and Cidoo v75 and it's always just a pleasant experience just typing when it sounds like bubble wrap.
They are coming out strong and fast and I am overwhelmed 😵💫
Story of my life lol 😂
Can you use screw in stabs with the gasket mount?
Yup I believe you're good there
What are the key differences in the o-ring and gasket mount?
Softness of the typing feel, the gaskets are much bouncier than the o-ring when I tried it. The o-ring was more stiff
Hope you can review the Cycle7 too :D
I never was able to get one :\ Maybe the next run/board
I love clacky, but I see that non foam does not give me the sound I want, it is quite low 😢😢
It truly does depend on your switch , the Owlab Latte used here isn’t even long pole so the possibilities for clack range far from this example lol.
note: the plateless config cannot do o-ring mount
True! With no plate you won’t be able to keep the oring mounted. Everyone should keep that in mind. Thanks QK
Great review commenting for algorithm haha
Thanks! you’re a real one for that lol 🙌
How is CF plate sounding fuller and less pingy than other plates in this lol
The CF being a stiffer material os probably amplifying some sound. Considering the single piece case design, 1.6mm PCB with no flex cuts, and people running an o-ring mount I'm thinking that people are trying to apply things from other keyboards to this when they are just not the same. Most the other boards are 1.2mm with some rype of flex cuts, dual peice case design, and poron gaskets or silicone plugs. Plus some reviewers, one in particular, used a really quiet switch and then said it was quiet lole thet was shocking. I'd suggest not taking reviews on sound all that seriously.
Do the Mode Envoy next :)
Id love to, haven’t tried it out yet so probably soon
"This time, I really mean it"
*Gets hit with the Cycle7
Depends on if you like the form factor 😅
Stabs aren't an issue for this. TX Stabs are Clip-ins
They worked, the o ring was nice and snug
This looks way to good for 65. Prebuilt mods officially dead.
U can get some double sided battery tape for phones.
its realy anoying that all the reviewers say that its an 80 dollar keyboard but build it with carbon fiber plate so its 105 dollars and they never build it plateless which is the most unique thing about this board
We only review one PCB config each because they’re prototypes until the actual sale starts. The plateless build is only recommended with the solder PCB. I preferred a hotswap personally since I wanted to display the oring - an option that is just as interesting if you ask me
Perfect until I saw no shipment to Spain...
The design is almost similar to my 4 year old Anne Pro 2. I'll skip this one
Um not quite lol 😅 but that is your decision to make
