I guess this is the Copper Eagle by Awekeys.

Yup, its the awekeys set. Dunno if these released yet or if this was a review set

They don’t lol

Thanks!

Cool

I think the weight just helps make the sound slightly fuller and helps with resonance. I don’t think the stainless weight will sound different from the brass weights. I’ve heard the cover makes more of a difference sound wise with the brass sounding deeper than the stainless steel cover. Someone with a unit from the china gb was talking about it in the clickclack discord. But I believe blacksimon had both stainless steel and brass covers to compare. You can find his vods on youtube

Solder is mostly just if there’s a specific layout you want thats not offered on the hotswap pcb. There isn’t really a difference in feel or sound

@@arpeykeys thank you i see that i only need the basic tkl layout so i will decide on hotswap thank you for the advice :)

WOW

Bro no way

Yeah he did a lot of really good sound tests

Me too

Haha, thanks I appreciate it!

His subscribers are so cool

You’re too cool for school

Yeah I like it too

Bro you are crazy

Gmk lavender (rabenda)

Thanks! They’re Domikey great artist lotus, the clear base kit. I believe I got these from swagkeys or whoever the korean vendor was for them.

haha yea, waiting is part of the hobby unfortunately. Didn't realize you guys sold split boards as well, but I'll definitely keep you guys in mind when I eventually want to try one!

@@arpeykeys Hehehe yes! We are an ergonomic keyboard company; the KZbin channel is a sidegig to educate the world on the benefits of ergo keyboards 😊

Thanks! Yea you can turn off the LEDs in via. QK actually recommends it for plateless builds on their info page lol

@@arpeykeys awesome, thank you. Is that GMK Mizu?

Gmk Oni actually

@@arpeykeys it’s gorgeous

By default you can toggle the LEDs with function + Z. It goes from all LEDs on -> corner LEDs on only -> spacer LEDs on only -> all LEDs off.

yea, split tented is something I've always wanted to try but I just never committed to buying one over a regular board lol

@@arpeykeys yeah, feel like when I can get a full kit (case+PCB) for $50 then I’d be willing to go for it, but I just haven’t sen anything that cheap myself

Yea. I don’t remember if thats just how the top mount is with a cf plate or if I tightened the case screws too much.

Thats just how i played growing up lol.

@@arpeykeys I gotcha, it stuck out in my mind bc the dpad is actually easier to use but it was a good video all the same 💜.

Yea, i don’t think there’s much at all if any prelube on the stem. All the lube is just at the bottom of the spring

@@arpeykeys In your opinion, what lubricant, film, and spring should I use to have the best experience with Cherry's switches?

@@truongvuonghuy6760 205g0 is pretty standard. I don't think there's any point in using anything thinner since the switch is already so scratchy even with 205g0. Deskey films, or anything made of poron foam will make them sound a little fuller, but if you prefer clack then use tx films or films made with polycarbonate. and springs are purely preference. I like long springs or double stage springs in mine.

@@arpeykeys Thank you very much for your comments :) very helpful

I agree. I think the range of prices that constitute "budget" at this point has shifted pretty significantly downwards. From what I can see here in the video though, I think the board's price point is justified. The complexity and quality of machining seems to be higher than what I've seen on, for example, the Rainy75 or nd75. (Edit:) Or on other budget TKLs like the Feker Galaxy...

Its a fair point. The term is subjective. And kinda relative to how much you would be willing to spend I guess. I just think before I got into the hobby, a $200 board was outrageous. And then after looking at a bunch of different customs, $200 doesn’t seem bad. Especially for a tkl, the size alone makes things more expensive. Compared to the tiger80 which came out like 2 years ago, this board is cheaper and offers way more, so with the tiger80 being considered budget back then, it just makes sense for an aluminum tkl with more features at a lower price to still be considered budget. But I get $200 is a lot for a lot of people.

Nk had a switch that has changeable stem inserts but it's still pretty novel

Yup. The classic ‘I spent money so you don’t have to’ lol

No, its an older color called aloe. They only offered it in the first 2 rounds

@@arpeykeysMight just be the lighting but I thought they were grey lol

Yea its a shame for how cool the stem is. But 70 cent switches should never be a thing again honestly

The wait is over!

Needs a passthrough adapter like a mayflash
