Darn it! I really was wanting the Flow but the lack of VIA support ends that. I can’t deal with where the command key usually is as I’m used to typing on Japanese keyboards now and I just can’t seem to get over that one difference. Ah well, guess I’m going with Nuphy again. I had their F1 and it was “ok” but thankfully what bothered me about it, being the two stem Gateron switches, has been taken care of here.

Nicely done! Probably gonna try this!

Is there anyone who made a keychron k2v2 version of this, i really want to make a custom case for my k2v2

Nice vid mate

I really like the aesthetic design of it, but from the look of the flex test and the sound tests, I think the gasket design could use a lot of work, or rather simply, just removing a lot of the plastic in the way and using foam gasket strips instead of the printed ones. If you look at 3:14, those gasket cups basically only allow for like 1mm maybe 2mm of flex space, and the base weight of the PCB resting in there is probably already fully compressing them letting the plate contact the case thus transferring all of those vibrations. One illustrative test you can try for your own understanding, is setting the tape-modded PCB alone on a hand towel on your desk, and seeing what the board sounds like then. That test shows basically what a perfect gasket and perfect foams, the case generating zero unwanted noise at all, could sound like. Attaining that fully is unlikely in most consumer boards, but they can still get much closer than your original design, simply through much more flexible gaskets. In a heavy aluminum case some vibration getting through is less of an issue, but in a plastic one, especially without very well through out construction that prevents rigid points of contact, will produce tons of generally unpleasant vibration/rumbling/rattling sounds, and that stiffness reverberates back up into the switches making them sound worse as well on top of the case noise. Your dyesub keycaps are suited towards a deeper/softer sound profile, so they can be fine depending on what you're going for, but the switches can be VASTLY improved for very little cost. Basically top-end astoundingly good sounding switches that are genuinely like nothing you've ever experienced before, with great stock lube so zero effort is required, are under 30 cents each, less than half of what "the best" unlubed switches from just a couple years ago cost, that now sound so cheap and low quality in comparison. HMX, Vertex V1, some of the newer Gateron releases, Bsun, etc. An HMX, Vertex, Morandi etc pickup would make a pretty night and day difference to this board or really any you put them in.

Thanks for this review. Am interested in this product. But how is the longevity of the keycaps? I have the OG azio rck compact in gunmetal and the keycaps faded after a few months of use :(

This is crazy awesome mate

You are an excellent reviewer. I am most likely going to purchase this keyboard in barebones format. That said, are the new profile keycaps that Keychron includes worth getting? I have a nice set of dye-sub PBT keycaps in Cherry format. Do you personally prefer the new keycap height/format over the standard cherry profile? How do they compare in typing experience. Do they take a while to get used to?

Thank you for positng this. It is a simple, yet effective idea. I've just gotten myself a box of 30 tags for US$5 from Aliexpress.

how to disable sleep mode?

MsBtn label looks sus 🤨

I recently received a Rocket Book as part of a set of swag from an event. I was initially skeptical about it, but as I used it, I am really glad that it exists. I've been using that Rocket Book each and every time and I am really pleased. THanks for the links to the alternative means to create the pages. Those make a lot of sense.

Amazing video and design. Super cool to see people in the community offering open source setups such as yours. Thank you so much for sharing and can’t wait to see how this develops in the community!

Which color switch feels the most like a membrane keyboard?

Genuinely curious what the point of a backlight is when the keycaps aren’t shine-through. There are double shot PBT keycaps with shine-through. These keyboards look dumb with the lights on.

Hi Jake, if I were to change the key caps like the enter and backspace, what would you recommend?

I'm not into custom keyboards but wow this one sounds so good

I love reviews like this... no faces, to people, only the keyboard! There are videos in which 99% of the video is just a face speaking, and no keyboard! Yours is the way I want.

Where can we get that theme? The only ones i can find are in grey and black

Just remember not to use the pen "rubber" as it takes the coat off the pages better to just use the cloth and water

Thank you very much❤

Thanks for the video man, still current today in 2024 as it was 4 years ago! Side Note: The pens are important also. I would love a marker style finish, the steel tip ones I use now are fine, but there have been some orders of pens, that are horrible ie. dry out, ink is tooooo light etc -

This is a great video..... thank you.!

Now they cost $320...thanks Biden.

This is the best review I’ve seen of this product. Your conclusion is totally on point and validated my hesitation about buying a cheaper cover. I want a cover to protect my Scribe but, since I’ll rarely be transporting it and the device itself is so large, I want a cover that’s easily removable because the cover will only come into play when I’m not using the device.

Nice video. Do you still have stl files for 3D printed feet for q1 max ?

We don’t want edge. We want flow v2.

Absolutely gutted that they switched from the old Gateron switches; loved my BBK to bits. Any info as to why they changed the default switch options?

Would you recommend core or fusion🙂?

what does the knob do?

The fact they used the Greek L for A makes it 1000 times cringe.

Just got my board with lemon switches. I love the board but I was a bit disappointed by the lemon switches. They sound great and feel super smooth but I guess I've been spoiled by tactiles with strong bumps because the bump on these may as well be nonexistent. It's so light it may as well be linear. Frankly not for me but I could see this being a fun switch for those who enjoy linears but want to try a soft tactile switch.

i don't use ebooks at all but i am looking for a good note taking device, I have been looking at the scribe and the remarkable 2, I am more learning towards the remarkable 2 becaue the writing experience is exceptional, and the software is amazingly good. Is there anything a scribe can do that is a better writing experience than the remarkable be side it being cheaper.

I have only one question about the tool you are using to keep the camera under the screen. Where can I buy it? Thank you.

In terms of noise, which switch has the most/least? I don't want silent, but i dont want overly loud, just in the sort of mid point comparable to Keychron's Red/brown switches

It's nice from nuphy to add Cherry Mx's silent red option.

I love the V Max series but the color combination is.....

I just got my Halo75 V2 in black with the Raspberry switches. I love the feel, I started with Browns in my first keyboard and then like the Moss on the air series, but the raspberry is a pretty moderate feeling linear. I ordered rose glaciers in case I didn’t like them but the raspberries came on top for me. Good review!

Honestly never comment, but some credit due for a great review just ordered a Mint

Man thank you! What a great review! Sound test 10/10

I’d rather the gem 80

Are the Aloe switches that Nuphy sells compatible with the Keychron?

Does the Edge have the thocky feeling as the Flow?

What do you recommend for a macbook? I heard that lofree has problems with MacOs.

Their screws not bolts but nitpik aside great video, great editing, and great sound test not to mention a thorough review. I'd likely choose the Raspberry switches. I really like a strong bump in my keypresses but it really slows my typing down and gives poor gaming performance so a linear switch is the best option for me as long as it's not too light.

I'm not sure why, but in this video you can't see how eye searingly bright the LEDs for numlock, OS mode and battery indicator are. Love the keyboard otherwise though, especially with the mint switches - I was looking for a wired alternative to MX Keys and I'm very happy with this combination.

I can’t thank you enough for testing all the new switches in one video, for a new customer like me this is a really big factor for me as I’d want to have a good representation of what each switch sounds like!
