GMK67 BUILD l AKKO V3 CREAM YELLOW

[@vlimited2506]

It's actually the build i wanted to do after hearing the Akko switches, thanks for giving me the perfect instructions to build my first keyboard.

[@Fajowski50]

I looooove how much you do for your typing tests. One of the best of all the keyboard channels on KZbin and I’m subbed to over 50 of them. Please keep it up with the long typing sound segments. I could listen to you tap around on your keyboards for hours. Thank you!

😍😍 Thank you so much !! I'm very very happy for this and I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching my videos 🥰

[@marshallmaia8130]

I can't get over how aesthetic the white board and black keycaps look, I keep clicking this video whenever it appears on my feed lol.

Same 😂

[@matheusdiasd]

I got this board this week and I'm already using it. It's my first board but it's surprising how good it sounds stock, with the mods I hope it sounds this good.

[@PJVC]

I have no regrets having this board. It's really surprisingly worth it. Try to mod yours and you will really love it 😃

[@tiffanyw6977]

That's good to hear! I'm thinking of getting this board too, but I'm worried it'll feel light and cheap. How much do you think it weighs?

[@PJVC]

@@tiffanyw6977 It's light but not really. about the feels, it doesn't feel cheap. the sound profile is on point and the design is clean. I don't currently have weighing scale but for sure this is under 1kg . Tbh this is my daily keyboard now :D

Good review! My GMK67 is coming soon and I have the Akko cream yellow V3 switches too. Definitely a good budget switch!

[@PJVC]

Same and a very nice combination! you will not regret :D happy typing !

[@ElliGold12]

Im doing the same build with some cherry profile switches that look super good im so exited for it to arive❤😊

[@losav96]

Sadly it's difficult to find Akko v3 cream yellow, nowadays you will always find the v3 pro version. They are good, pretty similar to v3, but the curve is slightly different. And if you search a comparison v3 cream yellow vs v3 pro cream yellow, you will find a deeper sound. For my ears, that deeper sound is not as good as the v3 cream yellow. Maybe for someone else, can be. For creamy sounds, surely Akko v3 cream yellow, Gateron milky yellow and WS Morandi are the best choices to start, and for budget keyboards. Of course you need to lubricate in the correct way, and use good keycaps (usually PBT/ABS doubleshot). And tape mod can a lifesaver in some builds. My fav profiles are XDA and MOA, because I love rounded keys, but sometimes the profile can make a difference (for example OEM or highers, because they are pretty tall)

[@UncleIroh.]

i wanna see some content of you doing two sound profile in one board.. for example, this GMK67 in THOCK profile and another content for CLACK profile. that would be nice. i think thats kinda unique content. and i know some audience are kinda curious too.

[@PJVC]

Ohhhhhh!! What a nice suggestion I'll take note of this :D

[@ElliGold12]

Agreed @Unclelroh.

[@zerocool2233]

love this build, after building tactile on the gmk67 I build pretty much this into the gmk87 and it sounds just as nice, still not sure if im a fan of the akko cream yellow pros yet though.

[@akosinatoy8842]

Oorder na ko same board and switches hoping na ganyan din kalabasan hahaha.

[@Defiancy]

Why is it that some peoples GMK67’s sound so much better than others? I only rlly see the tape mod done after the board is opened up and it sounds so much better than just dropping switches straight in.

[@LeoIBP]

It sounds fantastic! I'm waiting for my gmk67 to arrive but I have jelly black switches, I wish I had seen your video before buying the switches and chose cream yellows instead lol. Do you think this kb will sound good with jelly blacks? I really like how poppy and creamy your keyboard sounds and I don't know if mine will have a similar sound profile with my switches.

[@PJVC]

I also like jelly black switches since I have tested them, so there's no need to worry about them. But for me, the creams really just sound creamier. it might sound different but it is really sound preference :) I'm sure jelly blacks will not disappoint you also

[@niazkhn]

Hi, amazing keyboard! Does the cherry profile keycaps have interference with the akko cream yellows?

[@PJVC]

no since the board has south facing led so there is no interference with cherry profile keycaps

[@goonfish]

@@PJVC Just an FYI, but there are details **other** than switch-orientation that can cause modern switches to interfere with Cherry profile caps; like the shape of the light condenser/diffuser that more & more switch manu's are including in designs (Kailh's squared-off LED insert used in switches like Kailh BOX Bullets, for example). Also, the first round of Cherry Hyperglide top-housings didn't have the little "divot" on the N/S faces which would catch on GMK stems, causing scratches & affecting the feel! Just these two examples on top of the fact that all of the various manufacturers of Cherry profiles have different physical qualities, internal/external shaping & thicknesses, structers & tolerances, etc. - it's a valid question. Not implying any of these are what OP was-or-wasn't referencing, but just some things to keep in-mind when new switch molds & designs are concerned. 👍🏽

[@madhavmanocha4999]

I have never had a mechanical keyboard before. I have been thinking of getting a prebuild like Nuphy Halo65 or Keychron. But halo65 would have to be imported and would cost 2-3 times the Gmk65. Can you suggest me if I should get this barebones, and build myself, is it beginner friendly? Tips from fellow viewers is appreciated as well.

[@PJVC]

This barebone is very beginner friendly. It is also fun to do mod. As you can see in my video it's a very basic mod but it turns out pretty well. So if you have time to build and mod a board then I highly suggest this kind of setup for you :)

[@RespiteofChampions]

Also, what mods and keycaps would you suggest on this kit to get more of the creamy sound profile? Thanks!

This is just my preference. For me I like the cream yellows v3 of akko. This switch is my new daily favorite :D just lube them and you're all set!

which one do you prefer? gmk67 or finalkey v65? im not sure if i should spend more money for v65 or not.

GMK67 is like the plastic version of finalkey v65. With your question, for me i will 100% get the v65 (if possible) since i like aluminum cases hehehe. but it doesn't mean gmk67 is not good it's just you have to choose between plastic or aluminum they both have different sound profile, I also have video of v65 you can check it out on my channel. tbh my daily drive keyboard since this video is made up until now is GMK67 :D
