Nice vid mate

No case weight. Cant order.

the do I look like a trendy person comment really got me for whatever reason! This is definitely the most interesting low profile board I’ve seen yet! offering top mount and multiple plate options seems pretty novel in the low profile space. That said, not sure low profile is for me given my preference for full travel switches. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Do pandas glow?

haha its pretty cute, but I'm not a fan of sandwich mount or steel plates or proprietary key mapping programs

Why is it that Ben only have 880 subscribers? When that N*rd HippyoTech got bunch of subs???? Ben #1 ❤️😭

great vid

I have none tho…

The intro was hilarious, reminds me of some of keybored’s intros in the best way! Definitely interesting marketing/branding, but to each their own!

:)

Why bother with sound tests if you’re going to fill the board with foam.😂😂😂 it’s not going to tell us anything useful..having a good baseline to distinguish a board no foam sound test is needed afterwards modding is allowed

where can i get my hands on these, I wanted to try one out...

From the company that forgot to switch account to praise their own brand?

As cool and available of a product like Awekeys is, their behavior as a company is shady. Your video is excellent quality and I'm sure is genuine from your POV, but I would not recommend this product. From what I've seen, people have been receiving broken products with poor customer service and at the same time, they engaged in falsifying their reviews - recently, on r/mk, they used AI to generate a false review while forgetting they were commenting with their literal brand account. It's a shame and wouldn't encourage anyone to buy this.

This? Not gateron's metal keycaps?? Not alluvia?

If you are interested in our full conversation, do check the link in the description!

Great insights from the inside

Any idea for 2th hand market? Im looking for kohaku, a keybord thats sold out. Im from Belgium, Europe. A discord server or FB selling group possibly?

That was a really insightful interview! Really cool to hear about the vendor side of the hobby and how things work behind the scene

this was super interesting, really appreciate the thoughtful questions and responses, also super generous of you to ask my question! Couple highlights for me were your jokes made at the expense of clicky switch enjoyers and the commentary around how transparency can be a double edged sword for vendors. Seems like there’s so much to juggle on their end, gotta be thankful for the folks that have both the commitment to customers and capability to do it well!

Looking forward to this conversation!!

Why your finger using condom's?

osume is one of my recent most favourite keycaps sellers. would recommend them

How is the latency in 2.4g? Not all are thee same :(

Can I ask if R1 and R2 are much different in terms of typing feel and aesthetics?

why the fingers condom tho ?

How does the neo 65 compare with the zoom65v3?

I love 65% keyboards. Havent tried out the neo65 since i already have the vega and a mode envoy but I do have a neo80 and the neo80 is an absolutely amazing board for the price. Can only imagine it sounds similar or even better than the neo65

GMK is just ridiculous. I’ll never buy any set of keycaps that costs more than my keyboard, while waiting up to a year. You say clones are bad, but clones are the reason kailh, and countless other new switches exist. Do you tell people to only buy cherry because they’re the original top dog like GMK? It’s the same with keycaps. Clones are getting good now. More and more good custom keyboards are coming from china with really affordable prices. I think they could handle producing some plastic keycaps without messing up.

i have a krush65 PC otw soon cant wait for that.

[ 7:26 ] 60cents/ switch is diabolical.

i hope one day someone makes a full size keyboard video cause i need to find one to make for my partner XD

been really getting into 65% keebs recently after using 75% for a while. thanks for the comparison video, very informative and loving the stylish/chill vibes :)

Brother this keyboard is $305 someone who doesn’t care about keyboards is going to buy this

My favorite layout as well

Before I got into the keyboard hobby, I was one of those that used a 100% board for the longest time. Once I got into the hobby, my first custom board was still a 96%, because I thought I could never live without the num pad. But then I decided to get a 65% just ti try it out and I loved it. I realized that I don´t use the num pad that much and that I never, ever used the f-keys. The 65% board has been a perfect fit for me. Out of my 10 keebs, 9 are 65%, I just keep the 96% board around for when I have to use Excel. I thought about getting a TKL or a 75% board, but I have decided against it since I have no use for the f-keys. Good video BTW.

I want to hear a sound test of a aluminum top with a polycarbonate bottom

How were you able to change the rgb lighting in the back of the keeb?

Thanks but I have to mute the video and turn on the subtitles to understand this singlish

Ayo bro loved ur breakdown of the custrom keyboard hobby as fellow Singaporean recently getting into the rabbit hole myself! Tht being said I hv to comment: many custom keyboard hobby discord grps, like SG MK discord grp(idk abt others im only talking from my experience) are rlly toxic. Idk why but everytime i ask how is switch like on diff keyboards i get things like "i lost so many braincells reading ur question; u know its subjective right?" Like to me its jsut wtf, im only asking abt their experiences with diff keyboard switches...and even when i ask wht stabs u recommend they give one liners as if im stupid. maybe im being a bit too sensitive but shouldnt the mechanical keyboard hobby be abt curiosity and exploring? why then this need for elitism and such arrogant behavior.... Honestly im disappointed as of now how toxic custom keyboard hobbyists can be, esp online when the simplest and most innocent of questions get flamed . And the worst part is when i talked to other keyboard enthusaists from other groups and in other countries they nvr responded in the toxic manner that the Sg kb grps showed to me. But what do you think?

Being a left handed numpad but the 0 is on the right handed side is a deal breaker especially for a $300 board that has limited customizability. Some will even use the numpad for all macro.

👀👍! i think clicky switches are very fun, and give a very clear audible feedback of each keypress, which i like a lot. however, to each their own. I'd recommend lichicx silent tactiles and linears, as they don't feel mushy even though they have some sort of rubber or silicone in the switch.

Saw a few videos and you are doing a great job. Really pleasant experience to hear and watch. Wonder how i never got you recommended until now :)

lol bro apparently forgot about the "Tab" key while using Excel 🤣 Southpaw may be good for southpawed people but otherwise nahhhh

Did some research for those interested: The Case/PCB of this is over $300, without switches. Keychron makes the Q12 for $200. Same layout but, after buying switches for the product in this video and paying taxes on all of it, effectively half the price.

Wouldn't most hard code excel people use the keyboard almost exclusively to navigate anyway, making it pointless to switch it to the other side?

The colleague: "Wait, where are the F keys? I use those every single day! Also who the actual f*** would rather have no F keys and the number keys TWICE? Wait, it costs HOW MUCH?!" @benfromsg: "but it's southpaw! And it has a little RGB above the arrow keys!", probably.

To anyone not wanting to get taken advantage of, you can get an 80% keyboard and 20% numpad separately, then put the numpad on the left for less than half the cost. And it will sound just as good.

So, how to buy the exact keyboard you have? Please tell me what steps you taken to buy this. Found it, and neverminded. 300$+ is not my budget. Thanks for the video thought
