IDOBAO ID80 - One of Nicest Looking Budget Boards in the Market Except...

[@derickhochinfai]

Interesting. My unit had no gasket issues and the plate rests properly. There are 2 thickness of gaskets, thicker for the bottom and thinner for the top, it was shipped with my crystal, packed and label seperately labelled for top case, bottom case.

wait, $300 is a budget board? Am I just poor? D':

[@onepoh4680]

well...

[@niko1even]

i wouldn't exactly call that a budget board, but it's close to budget.

[@aidantreap]

The idea of budget has reeaaallly shifted as the community has gotten more and more intense/popular.

[@iitsjer5ic]

Relative to rest of the market yeah it's a budget

[@Hahnck750i]

they had revised the design and is now using a different gasket all together. it's like a silicone strip instead and it's pretty stiff.

[@rampagechampion]

Great review like anyways

Cant wait for next post!

[@majinkeyboards]

Someone needs a smack for putting “budget” on this. Can’t wait till someone makes you cry by saying a Geist Maschine keyboard is “Budget”.

[@AsianAnimeRuLe]

I really like the looks of this keyboard, it's a shame that it didn't work out

[@Keebnator]

Hello, Nice video! Can you give me some advice, im between this one and and Keychron q1 version 2 with the knob. I already saw you reviewed at least the first version of the Keychron. Wich one would you recommend more? This one is also 100$ more expensive but looks more unique maybe and I like the back of it, however probably the keychron is better out of the box and also cheaper. Would love any advice!! Thanks

[@onepoh4680]

any alternatives to this board on incoming gb?

[@beefy256]

If this is a "budget" keybaord, I don't want to know what your enthusiast definitions are.

[@darren9752]

This board with Infinikey Cafe or GMK Olivia would be perfection

[@AdamRashid-e3d]

hipyotech uses infinikey cafe keycaps for his id80 crystal!

[@champfisk5613]

So it comes already assembled? Also were the discrepancies fixed that you mentioned at current date?

[@BBTTech]

It doesn't come assembled from what I know. It does seem they have fixed the issue on later units but this was the way mine was shipped and they did acknowledge the issue and I have new gaskets now

[@champfisk5613]

@@BBTTech so you assembled and did an unboxing after?

[@coleonoscopy69]

Uh how are the internals supported if not by the gaskets? It looks like there isn't a gasket underneath the plate on the side view that you showed.

[@BBTTech]

The gaskets on my unit were super shallow. The PCB is just resting on the bottom of the case. Does seem they fixed it in newer models though so this shouldn't be an issue anymore
