sound tests: stock(case, plate and pe foam) - 3:22 no case foam with gmk spacebar - 10:21 no foam with gmk dandy - 13:11, tuned spacebar - 14:10 / 15:25 nixie switch spacebar - 16:35
I have this board and it is extraordinary. I'm a budget board guy, so this is my most expensive board, I bought the barebones version in scarlet red because I didn't care for the keycaps and Sylva switches.
This is my latest purchase and I'm quite satisfied with it. I have the creamy white version and a retro looking keycap set looks great with it. It also sounds good with or without foam, depending on your preferences. I got the aluminum plate so that I'd be able to use PCB mounted stabilizers and have the extra option for other layouts. I opted to do ISO with 7u spacebar. Overall, this is my favorite board so far, after my Bakenekogo.
This seems to be a pretty decent option versus the Neo65 and MKC65. It seems VERY similar to a Neo65 but with a two piece case so very reasonable. Edit: I think you can get a similar sound profile with a Neo using the FR4 plate. Totally would love to see Luminkey80 vs Neo80. If you can get a Chosfox Leo80 added to that mix for comparison would be perfect.
This checks all the boxes for me; - tri-mode hot swap PCB (1.6mm) - low front height (17.28mm) - thin side bezel - nice side profile - ISO layout - stepped caps lock There is NOTHING on the market that can compete for ME personaly. Have the cream, black is coming, thinking bout the silver.
I'm getting bored of all these new boards lately. Only one that has even come close to catching my attention is some of the raffle like ones. Can't afford them anyway. Love your videos. Love how honest you are. Thanks. Keep them coming alex~!
@@parisgiovanos766 yeah absolutely. This might be very unpopular opinion, but since jris65 or qk65...every entry level 65% boards looks more or less the same, everything, and the budget boundary makes these boards can't be any prettier (pretty in the budget boards means boring). Sure it sounds better and more configurable, but idk how many boards with these same looks will enter market again...I mean, just run the neo65 production forever (as long as possible) and we can get enough of these same looking entry level boards coming again and again, just go on the higher tier keyboards! or maybe...radical change of how these entry level boards should looks. Even kbd67 lite is stupidly looks similar than these newer boards, who knows that somebody out there still pleased enough by kbd67 lite, but at least it still looks similar
Even as someone who hates the box-on-box kind of side profile, I think I am fine with this one due to that little bit of extra piece on the side. Although I don't like the rotated switches. Some of my switch/keycap combination doesn't play well with rotated switch orientations. :( Luminkey, Neo, and the latest Rainy75...are we entering a new era of custom keyboards where entry level aluminium customs are even cheaper than some big-name mass produced plastic prebuilts?
What’s your favourite linear switch? Just bought a Wind x98 R2 and trying to figure out what switches to put in it. Looking for a clacky but not too loud build.
@@MMMM-vh5wl PC plates are usually lower pitched, I'd definitely go long pole if you want to brighten it up. I've enjoyed Zenclack switches personally but I've also heard good things about Durock Pianos

Entry level boards are getting SO good.
Big agree with this
As much as I will always enjoy building and tinkering, it's nice that we're starting tp see prebuilts I can recommend to people
You surprised me too. Finally glad to hear you to share Luminkey65. That’s great if you can compare to Neo65.

The Leo80 Ill be taking a look at VERY soon! But i agree, i think a demo with all the boards at once could be very cool and helpful
As a person who built a chosfox i dont think that its good for the price especially since shipping is $38 so its $164 barebones
The cover shot is perfect

Very pretty. I'm just waiting for the 75% version to restock.

Yep they look the same feel the same hahahah

Can i use it with ISO layout?
Even as someone who hates the box-on-box kind of side profile, I think I am fine with this one due to that little bit of extra piece on the side. Although I don't like the rotated switches. Some of my switch/keycap combination doesn't play well with rotated switch orientations. :(

Get one LK65, but encounter an error when I load a saved layout with VIA. Anybody else encounter this?
When is comparison of Leo80, Neon80 and Luminkey80?
Did u gonna review the MKC65 ?
Sorry, I’m new here. But what’s so special about GMK keycaps (the space bar here) which make such a huge different?
General build quality and materials used makes different/ better quality sounds
Can we go plateless on this?
which grey color mouse are u using ?
what board is that in the top left? the 65 w/ xt
Does the dumbbell gasket also "force-break" mod the board?
a bit late but i did notice a difference after forcebreaking my luminkey 65
Dandy stays on top
Opinions on Luminkey65 vs Neo65?
I would take luminkey

What plate material? That's going to have more of an effect on sound than switches are
@@AislingPhoenix That’s true. It comes with a PC plate.

@@AislingPhoenix That’s what I’m realizing. Thanks though.
@@MMMM-vh5wl It looks like they still have aluminum plates in stock if you look under the accessories tab on their website
Is luminkey65 better that tofu65 2.0?
for sure
@@kert4249 thx man, its pretty hard to search a solid board on ali
@@kert4249thanks man,its pretty hard to search a solid board on Ali
Do u think its better that the neo?
I prefer the sound signature over the Neo, but it's purely preference for that.
which headphones u use?

woah
So far best 65
