$150 Budget Hotswap Custom Keyboard - Idobao ID80 V1

[@hamajineo]

Two things, they do have backlight capabilities, I messed up, sorry about that :( and $150 refers to the price of the ID80. I made that clear at the very start of the video, hope that helps. Thanks! Also, go to: nordvpn.com/hamajineo or use code hamajineo to get a 2-year plan with a huge discount plus 1 additional month for free ! Thanks guys, see you in the next video!

[@QuackZack]

Because GMK sets are limited-run and hyped sets can go up to outrageous flip prices. It's at $400 because well, ballin' hobbyists pay that much for it. GMK sets during Group Buy stage (Group buys suck, I know, but it is miles better than flip pricing) are the most 'budget' friendly, considering they sell at their cheapest of around $110-150 (base kit). You can also find decent in-stock (non-GMK) sets for around $50-100 (you get what you pay for). ePBT is a solid non-flipped alternative.

[@QuackZack]

Asterisks near the ePBT because they have limited run sets like GMK and already do have flipped sets. They do have basic in-stock sets running about $80-90, they make very solid ABS doubleshot or PBT dyesub.

[@nicolasgruat1842]

Hi Neo, i 've picked the ID87 TKL... with White Leds, same design same comments : must have screw- in stabs and foam : but i added the idobao optional foam between the plate and the PCB same problem with the angled design at the bottom, couldn't close the back chassis 1st time and crushed a resistance components, so spacebar led is not working anymore The TKL is heavier than the 80 and no problem about that + beautiful black anodized aluminum True for the price it's a nice starter kit, $199 for the TKL, now at $179 but when you add switches and caps, and are looking at a +300$ keyboard. Mine has Zeal (expensive) linears and TaiHao double shot PBT caps, plus i added the stainless steel caps for gaming : incredible feeling > as a result $390 ! Nice overall sound with silent linears , especially the metal caps are exceptionnals , PBT caps are a bit "dry" to the ear - only sound that i had to improve was the spacebar ! Put it reversed did the trick, annd is really better at use for gaming! here are my feelings and opinion about this keyboard Nick

[@jasonwang9002]

Hey I was just wondering if there were any differences in between the ID80 and the ID87. I was planning to buy the ID87 however I haven't come across many people who bought it, but rather bought the ID80. I am just afraid if there any differences between the 2 boards as it looks the same, just obviously a different layout.

[@nicolasgruat1842]

@@jasonwang9002 if you wanna go for the ID87 just do it, but be careful mounting the pcb and fixing the sandwitch design, especially with foam. i'm building a Drop CTRL high profile,,, nice pcb but only 3 pins,,, i had to cut my expensive 5 pins Zeal ;( and BIG problem with stabs plate mounted! i'll order the cherry soon , instead of everglide ... but perfect quality alu chassis, and RGB looks incredible

I have this keyboard and really like it. One thing you didn’t mention is your post that has really bummed me out about it is the limiting layout of the keyboard specifically for APPLE users who care to have correct keycaps. Most keycap sets you see do not provide a 1.5u GUI key (Command key on a Mac). I didn’t realize this when I bought the keyboard and have found some sets that support my needs that I really like but it has taken a lot of hunting around. Regardless I do not regret purchasing this keyboard and I use it every day.
