I do agree that the GMMK Pro does sound pretty muted no matter what switches you decide to go with. Luckily, I wanted a "silent" build, so I personally love my GMMK Pro with Boba U4 silent switches. Thanks for putting together an overview of so many keyboards in just 6 months :D
This video gave me an idea... a keyboard with a lever on the side that lets you flip between thocky and poppy. It would just be a mechanism to lift the plate slightly, applying more or less pressure to the chosen dampening inside the board... you could also have a dial to really fine tune it. Would this make a $1000 board? Of COURSE! But we're at the point we need innovation. I've loved mechanical keyboards for close to 15 years now, and while the advancement has been good, lots of conventional parts that interchange, the raw innovative items in a keyboard just hasn't been as quick. This would allow you to have two keyboards in one. We all know we have thocky and poppy days everybody, don't deny it.
I really really need this. Cause recently my friend got robbed inside their home in the middle of the night. And the robber took her gaming laptop and her mechanical keyboard which she just borrowed.... Now I want to help her to have a new mechanical keyboard (cause I don't have money for gaming laptop)
@enzofelipe3 the world is very very cruel. Why should I be cruel to people also. But I want to show my care for them. No matter how worse the situation is :3
I'm more surprised she didn't included Aliexpress specials like the TM680 or the Feker/IK/NextTime/NT/etc 75 which has blowing up for the sub $70 price range
@@z4k1_zaki65 and those are also already outdated! You should check the new CIY keyboard GAS67, it's basically a KBD67 Lite clone for 60-65€ with even better sound imo and huge flex, only downsides being north facing and non QMK/VIA pcb, but what are you getting in the kit is absolutely insane, they give you screw-in stabs and a freaking coiled cable too...
I litteraly just got done building my first custom board (The GMMK pro) yesterday and it is really good! The stock stabs are not great but i really like the features it come with and black inks sounds really nice in it.
I'm currently running my GMMK Pro with an alu plate, no bottom foam, tape modded, taped the inside of the bottom case aswell to remove reverb etc. It sounds pretty nice the way it is right now, not muted at all!
Very good recommendations. My personal favorite prebuilt under $100 is the Akko 3068B Plus. The switches that it comes with and the stabs are nice. The only thing I did was tape mod.
@@rocky216 I'm guessing he/she's referring to putting painter's/masking tape under the stabs for extra sound dampening. Atleast I saw Hipyo do it in the under $100 custom keyboard challenge
Personally, I would recommend some Akko boards like the Pro series, for example, all of them range from 90 to 120 dollars which includes their keycaps which are normally 40 to 60 dollars, and their cs Switches plus of Course the board itself.
Akko has the ability to make a really good entry level keyboard that's a bit more expensive like the qk65. The akko mod is decent but it could be way better
Can confirm that the Q1 V2 sounds pretty good out of the box. I am new to this rabbit hole/money pit, thinking I was the hot s*** with my DAS4 keyboard for the last embarrassing amount of years. I have the Q1 V2, I could only get the built version here, but already have soem keycaps and replacement switches on their way. I also bought painter's tape as I understand this to be the single most important technical advancement in keyboards in recent years. Love the channel and the site, I landed on 75% as my perfect form factor (for now) after watching a bunch of your videos and checking out the site, you're doing sterling work :) I wonder if you or any of your subscribers could recommend a decent portable option? I'd like to be able to take a keyboard to the office with me without feeling like I am carrying a brick.
The Keychron K7 is the one you're looking for. It's pretty slim and portable. If you want to keep the 75% format than the K3 is for you. Hope this helps
I'm quite satisfied with my Keychron Q3, especially when comparing the look to the K8 Pro. The upper part of the case goes all the way up and doesn't have that tray-ish look between the key blocks. It's heavy (2 kg) but I'm fine with that.
I think for TKL's the Tiger 80 by KBDfans is what the QK65 was to 65% but for the TKL market not to mention the "arctic sky" and "deep space" paint jobs are out of this world!
I’m so glad that this video came out, because my mother said that if she gets me the zoom 65, she wants to see it in a video saying that it’s really good. Thanks you Betty!
Many people who apreciate good switches, custom keycaps, gaskets and all that goodness also apreciate full size keyboards. Like programmers. Please don't ignore that part of the audiance!
Personally I wouldn't include keyboards such as QK65 and Zoom65 under in stock category. Because it just feels like bait, you could include other keyboards such as Bakeneko65 and Akko Mod which are great keyboards and in-stock currently, and constantly restocked.
Great coverage of alot of these in-stock/mostly in-stock boards. Lots of new people entering into the hobby and its awesome that so many options exist now!
I personally quite recently bought myself the Yunzii KC68 Pro, which should arrive this week! I did order switches too that arrived earlier today. This is my first ever hot-swap keyboard so i'm *hella* excited! 🙏🥰 I paid around 83€ for the keyboard itself with Gateron blues and i decided to go with Akko Starfish switches for around 43€ which in total would be like 125-ish euro. Pretty cheap for my first ever hot-swap keyboard!
Yeah, so far the keyboard has been really great! I'm still getting used to the weird layout though, but it's still great nonetheless. I swapped the switches almost immediately since the Gateron blues that it came with had some pretty intense stem wobble.
My first mechanical keyboard was a Leaven K550 with blue switches. It costs around $20. The next was a Dark Alien K84, which I won from a give away. Both still usable but I use the Leaven, saving the Dark Alien for the best part.
The Akko 3068b is a great binged 65 percent keyboard. It comes with pre lubed stabilisers, Bluetooth, wireless and wired, pbt double shot keycaps, Akko jelly switches (I have the jelly pinks) and it’s also hot swap and comes with novelty keycaps. All of this is 90 usd
I recently got my first mech, the Royal Kludge RK84 (I did initially see it locally in stock here in Western Australia, but ended up finding one BNIB 2nd hand at essentially the same price after they had sold out). Super happy with it, hotswap, RGB (which I didn't even think I'd use, but I actually like it on the lowest setting), tri-mode with BT, 2.4GHz (with a dongle that can be stored in the back of it) and USB-C. The magnetic feet probably aren't as good as those dual-height flip-out feet, but do the job. I specifically wanted the del, home, end, pgup, pgdn layout on the right hand side (I feel like this is the only sensible layout for those keys). A rotary endcoder would be nice, but you can use software to make you mouse wheel act like one, anyway. It did surprise me how often I went to use the scroll wheel that used to reside on the left-hand side of my old logitech membrane board, so now I'm thinking of ways I can hack the old board and use the rotary encoder and scroll wheel from it plugged into the USB ports of this board - Oh, did I mention the RK84 has two USB pass-through ports? Unfortunately they don't act as host and can't be used wirelessly, or you could just plug a knob or wheel or whatever you wanted into it, but at least you can do that plugged with USB (or use it as an excuse to get a wireless numpad with knob).
I have 2 c1s' that I have modded. 1 black and 1 grey with lubed reds, foam dampening and custom key caps. I love both of them and I think it the most affordable way to dip into the custom market without a custom board.
I have the Red Dragon K-617 that I bought as a budget keyboard until I customize my own. for the price it's pretty incredible and comfortable to type on. But I still watch your videos for build ideas in the future when I can get a new one. 😄
thanks so much for this video!! i'm building my friend a keyboard and he wants a tkl and i had no clue that the keychron k8 was that cheap!!! definitely going to go with that option for him!
Such a great video! You should do this every quarter b/c gosh there are so many changes all the time. Also, did you get a review unit of the GMMK numpad? =P
Awesome video and insanely good video quality / editing! I’ve been watching a lot lately since I’m dipping my toes into this hobby. For my first board I picked up the RK84, and plan to go with Gazzew Boba U4’s. I have no idea on keycaps yet. I’m super excited for the Dygma Defy though except the hefty price that comes along with it (not saying it’s not worth it).
I got the GMMK2 65% and it's pretty good :) Foam, 5 pin sockets, PBT caps, pretty good switches and QMK support for not much money :) For the rare full-size ppl, I think Glorious has the GMMK 1 and maybe keychron has a few options as well. Great video :D
I just got my Keychron K8 Pro. Only thing they had in stock was Gateron Blues. I did not like them. So after watching a few of your videos swapped them for Cherry MX clear Browns. Loving it now. Soon I will pull the switches and lube them as see what the difference is. Thanks so much for making these great videos.
I appreciate this keyboard who is planning to start in to this hobby. Hope to see more! Hope you can do like a similar video but all with knobs. Heehee. More power Betty, Jake and Switch and Click team!
Thank for the review. You helped me find the right keyboard that i want for typing. I am going to go with the Iqunix Keyboards. They have the look, keycaps, sound, and its 80% layout with 83 keys! Once i get one I will most likely be typing every day and most of the day. I'm very picking with my writing and i want a keyboard that is going to boost my writing creativity. Plus it won't disturb others while I and writing/typing! Thank you for time and sharing!
just wanted to say that I love watching your videos, even if I already own a great keyboard which I coincidentally found out about from your videos. Keep up the good work :)
CIY GAS67.. Around £50 off aliexpress. Just built one up with some gateron oil kings, lubed the stock screw in stabs and tape modded it and it sounds and feels amazing!
Awh, Betty you hearted my comment but I realised I made a typo, so I fixed it and now it's not hearted anymore :( it's okay though, I know you read it though 😁
Day 17: Review the Redragon k617 Fizz it's a 60% Hotswap keyboard it is just 36$ in my country it comes in white and grey, and white and pink it is a really good keyboard for its price.
Love my gmmk2 for competitive gaming, just lubed the stabs and put Jwk lilac with Glorious PBT keycaps, love the fact the market is evolving and we have more options in stock without waiting a year for group buys. I need a new keyboard now 😏
I wasn't able to find your video on the vissels, the form factor is something that I think suits my needs. However, I did find your video on the RK Royal Kludge 84. Would you recommend that or the Vissels 84? Thanks for the video!
Hey! There are A LOT of keyboards and a plethora of options for customization. Can you help us choosing the most versatile pcb, so we can have the most options for switches (and maybe cases).
I love your videos! Could you maybe do a review on a Hexgears keyboard? I’ve tried to do more research on them, but there is almost nothing!! Looks like a decent keyboard though and it’s $80 pre built
Should have mentioned the EPOMAKER K870T Hot Swappable or look into it as a video. Havent seen many keyboard youtubers look at this one and I use it as my main keyboard now with akko pink switchs and the honey and milk keycaps and upgraded stabs with electric tape mod on pcb and love it. Was about a $250 CAD build with switches keycaps and stabs. Keyboard is $109 cad on amazon (but I got it when there was a sale so like 80 cad plus free shipping and tax so $91) (Lubing switches took so long though lol cuz I have bad hands😂, 10 hours of suffering)
Awesome video. I've been out of the keyboard market for many years. I have 2 Realforce TK that a got like 15 years ago. One for home and one for the office. I thought I was crazy back then to by 2 $200+ keyboards & 2 different color key sets. But, I've been using them every day since then. Never did a thing to them. The market is considerably expanded in 15 year.
Thanks for this video and keep going with good work. One question, did you come across wireless keyboard with usb passthrough. I'm using yubikey a lot and that would be quite handy?
@Switch and Click , pls answer me .... Is the akko pc75b plus better or the 75%s that u mentioned in the keyboard better . And what are the best thocky non- full-size thocky keyboard u recommend ? Pls and thx , big fan...
I just bought the CIY Gas67 kit as my second keyboard build for a little over $40. Trust me, you get a lot more than what you pay for, probably comparable to kbd67 lite. The only complaint it might have is north-facing led and no wireless option atm (likely available in the future).
Assembled my Keychron Q1 this week and bought the K8 recently as well. Just not so sure I should have used Glorious Panda switches. Cherry MX Brown just seems to fit me better. But guess I'll need to try other options as well :)
Hi, new sub here.. I like what you do and helps us newbs A LOT in choosing keyboards... may I request if you can review Fantech's Maxfit67? I would love to hear your thoughts on this keyboard please... 😁 Thank you!
So many expensive options, civ tester 84 and others from the same manufacturer are cheap, hotswap, alumnium base, software for macros and rgb. Best cost benefit of them all. For 108k there's sk108 and eg108 which despite having a hard plastic case, they have an alumnium backplate as well.
Both Freebird 75 and QK 75 are currently or will soon be available and I"m really struggling to determine which would be a better option. The price isn't too big of a concern. There is also the Q1V2 but that is more of the 'if the others aren't available' option. Thanks for this video!
Hey fellow keyboard fans! Any suggestions for a great gaming keyboard? I'm using a Keychron K2V2 and am experiencing a lot of key input lag (wired and Bluetooth). What keyboards would everyone recommend for gaming?
i kind of disagree with the fb tkl being thocky, I actually think its more so on the clacky, sometimes even hollow sounding for those who are so used to the foamy boards...
We specifically picked keyboards that are either in stock or have the intention of being available over and over again. However, some may not be available right now, at this exact moment.
I use the sk61 but all of these are so cool
When will zoom65 or qk65 be back in stock do you think?
Cool
@@slayersebie3371 QK65 just ran an unlimited group buy these last few weeks. It just ended but extras will be available in two months or so
i have a recommendation, RED DRAGON FiZZ (Red Switches) 60% for 40 dollars.
This is one of the best overview vids I have seen in a while. Thank you for compiling these keyboards for 1/2 way through 2022.
Thank you! Means a lot

Day 17: Review the Redragon k617 Fizz it's a 60% Hotswap keyboard it is just 36$ in my country it comes in white and grey, and white and pink it is a really good keyboard for its price.
I’m surprise you haven’t review any varmillo keyboard because they are really pre builds and cool to do mod on
If you need a full size get the Keychron Q6
Love my gmmk2 for competitive gaming, just lubed the stabs and put Jwk lilac with Glorious PBT keycaps, love the fact the market is evolving and we have more options in stock without waiting a year for group buys.
I need a new keyboard now 😏
As far as in stock full size I thought I would mention the keychron q6 that is coming out soon.
Hi, enjoying your content and adore your personality! Question: have you done any reviews on just iqunix keyboards?
I wasn't able to find your video on the vissels, the form factor is something that I think suits my needs. However, I did find your video on the RK Royal Kludge 84. Would you recommend that or the Vissels 84? Thanks for the video!
Hey! There are A LOT of keyboards and a plethora of options for customization. Can you help us choosing the most versatile pcb, so we can have the most options for switches (and maybe cases).
I love your videos! Could you maybe do a review on a Hexgears keyboard? I’ve tried to do more research on them, but there is almost nothing!! Looks like a decent keyboard though and it’s $80 pre built
Can we also acknowledge the EVGA Z15? Great prebuilt board
The Keychron C1 was from upgrading 'the Most Underrated Keyboard EVER'
You forgot the Space65 and Space 80. They are really expensive but ... they are fantastic looking! :-D
Nice video. Although, I have a question: Why the sound of the keys is so important for some users?
Thanks, was planning on getting one
Should have mentioned the EPOMAKER K870T Hot Swappable or look into it as a video. Havent seen many keyboard youtubers look at this one and I use it as my main keyboard now with akko pink switchs and the honey and milk keycaps and upgraded stabs with electric tape mod on pcb and love it. Was about a $250 CAD build with switches keycaps and stabs. Keyboard is $109 cad on amazon (but I got it when there was a sale so like 80 cad plus free shipping and tax so $91)
(Lubing switches took so long though lol cuz I have bad hands😂, 10 hours of suffering)
A replacement for the kbd67 is the NK65 by Novelkeys. It doesn’t support screw in or clip in stabs but for 95$ USD, it’s hard to beat
Kbd67 lite regularly have discounts at $90 tho
@@z4k1_zaki65 didn’t know that. That’s awesome. Thank you for that info
Really appreciate the FF15 BGM you put in the video lol. Very informational vid!
thank you!
Awesome video. I've been out of the keyboard market for many years. I have 2 Realforce TK that a got like 15 years ago. One for home and one for the office. I thought I was crazy back then to by 2 $200+ keyboards & 2 different color key sets. But, I've been using them every day since then. Never did a thing to them. The market is considerably expanded in 15 year.
Great overview, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I only know this because the Freebird TKL is sitting in my shopping cart now lol. The base price is 240 and it’s on sale for 225 this weekend.
I need a full size for work and it seems like just about the literally only option on the entire market is the Keychron K10
Thanks for this video and keep going with good work. One question, did you come across wireless keyboard with usb passthrough. I'm using yubikey a lot and that would be quite handy?
From what I can tell the ciy gas67 is basically just the kbd67 lite but it has northfacing leds and is a third of the price.
Great vid! You should try out the KBDfans D84 sometime. It’s awesome (:
Great video.....Im just getting into the hobby. I'd like you opinion on the Keychron K2 Pro?
Thank you in advance!!!
My friend just built me an awesome keyboard with the gmmk 2 barebone, banan splits lubed with krytox, and durock smoke mount stabs. It sounds amazing.
Very nice!
@Switch and Click , pls answer me .... Is the akko pc75b plus better or the 75%s that u mentioned in the keyboard better . And what are the best thocky non- full-size thocky keyboard u recommend ? Pls and thx , big fan...
Love my K8 Pro. Also their Q0 Nimber Pad is a perfect match.
im surprised the epomaker ep84 wasnt on here
I like the cloud 9 split keyboard with cherry red switches.
I just bought the CIY Gas67 kit as my second keyboard build for a little over $40. Trust me, you get a lot more than what you pay for, probably comparable to kbd67 lite.
The only complaint it might have is north-facing led and no wireless option atm (likely available in the future).
that is a great keyboard from CIY. I want them to make a TKL version of Gas67.
Has there been any mention of a QK75 ever happening? The only answer I can seem to get is "we're focused on fulfilling QK65 orders right now".
Other than the kbd67 lite, you could definitely get the ciy gas67, its a literal banger for a cheaper price
What does the knob thing on the keyboard do
Great video, very useful :))
I would personally also recommend the keychron Q2 for people who like more compact layouts
Thanks for sharing!
when pockets empty:
Assembled my Keychron Q1 this week and bought the K8 recently as well. Just not so sure I should have used Glorious Panda switches. Cherry MX Brown just seems to fit me better. But guess I'll need to try other options as well :)
Gateron browns should do better. They jave pretty much thr same tactility except its just smoother and cheaper.
@@trolleybike63 Thanks for the suggestion. I do have one in a sample pack I guess I can plug in and try. :)
@@tubeincompetence I would suggest Gateron Pro Browns. They are pre lubed from the factory and cost about the same as the non lubed ones.
@@robothtml Thank you for the suggestion. :-)
Hi, new sub here.. I like what you do and helps us newbs A LOT in choosing keyboards... may I request if you can review Fantech's Maxfit67? I would love to hear your thoughts on this keyboard please... 😁
Thank you!
Great Preview!
Thanks!
So many expensive options, civ tester 84 and others from the same manufacturer are cheap, hotswap, alumnium base, software for macros and rgb. Best cost benefit of them all. For 108k there's sk108 and eg108 which despite having a hard plastic case, they have an alumnium backplate as well.
Still need my full size one
Both Freebird 75 and QK 75 are currently or will soon be available and I"m really struggling to determine which would be a better option. The price isn't too big of a concern. There is also the Q1V2 but that is more of the 'if the others aren't available' option. Thanks for this video!
Finally got my first web developer job so now I can upgrade my equipment
Can you do one for mac?
Hey fellow keyboard fans! Any suggestions for a great gaming keyboard? I'm using a Keychron K2V2 and am experiencing a lot of key input lag (wired and Bluetooth).
What keyboards would everyone recommend for gaming?
i kind of disagree with the fb tkl being thocky, I actually think its more so on the clacky, sometimes even hollow sounding for those who are so used to the foamy boards...
