Idobao ID87 crystal - Build & Review

[@parked7414]

this sounds very pog

[@aeron2321]

Such a quality vid. Hitting the subscribe and like button was no brainer, dude!!!

[@stefanfrank4715]

Thanks a lot! I‘ll try to make a new one shortly.

[@magicmulder]

Can’t wait for mine. My previous favorites all have one big disadvantage - the Drop Carina is too small at 60%, the Iqunix OG80 Wormhole is too hard to mod (opening the case is a nightmare), so I finally settled for this one (even though it’s not perfect since it has no wireless option).

[@stefanfrank4715]

This is a good board! You will have fun with it. I personally love the more bouncing feel of PC plates and more effective gaskets - but this keyboard just feels satisfying. Just stop by again and tell your opinion on it when you got it.

[@parleyking]

Hi, after using it for so long, will the crystal part turn yellowish or still looking as transparent? Thanks

[@stefanfrank4715]

I sold it after a few weeks but have seen one lately that was in use for a few month . It still looked pristine. Had a switch couture in transparent (also acrylic) for a year - also no yellowing.

@@stefanfrank4715 Thanks for reply, may I know what's the reason for selling it away? Is it not good to use or not worth the price or the material is bad? As I'm looking to build my own keyboard.

[@stefanfrank4715]

@@parleyking it is just a money thing. I like to try new boards. And if i have build it, i have a few days with it and sell it off to afford a different one. There is currently only one board i don`t sell and that is the mode eighty. I think it just takes a while to figure out what you like in a keyboard and what not. Doesn`t mean it is a bad board. The idabao is worth the price but there are so many good options in the budget space right now i would suggest waiting for the QK TKL that will be released early this year if you are starting out. The KBD Tiger80 in acryl is also there - this could be send directly and you don`t have to wait. What do you look for in a board?

[@parleyking]

@@stefanfrank4715 I just looking for an aesthetic keyboard base and of course, it is good to use also. There are too many different types of keyboard base brand which make me too confused hahah. I will take a look at the KBD Tiger 80 & AK QK TKL. Thanks

weird that your video didnt pop up when i searched idobao crystal, but now it did. Keep up with such a good content. really good channel :)

[@stefanfrank4715]

Thanks a lot! Maybe i got my tags wrong, i‘ll check it - hope i‘ll get found in the search more often. :)

[@hendog2737]

Does it come with a cable?

[@stefanfrank4715]

If I remember correctly, it does. But it has been over a year that I build and sold it.

[@BlasterDavo]

Great video mate!! Appreciate the time that went into this one.

[@stefanfrank4715]

A bit late from me, but thanks a lot! :)

[@Edements]

what switch pad did you use? would appreciate if you could provide the link!

[@stefanfrank4715]

These are the kbdfans switch pads. They are quite cheap

[@timwat]

Great walkthrough, good editing decisions. I appreciated the video and subscribed. Keep the content coming!

[@madisonfayem]

The video was great! I just discovered the Idobao Crystal cases, but now I can't find the ID87 anywhere for sale :( Such a bummer!

[@stefanfrank4715]

Thanks! :) The group buy was a few month ago, but i am sure they will bring a new iteration someday. The ID80 crystal came back too.

[@stefanfrank4715]

@@mainkilla i switched back and forth between the crystal and smokey one. Bet it is pretty in smoked.

[@FitLabb]

For a small new channel, this was a really high quality video! Now I know what you mean about the switch pads. Haven’t used anything like that on any of my builds yet. Do you think it makes a big difference in the sound or feel? PS: You should create a profile photo & channel art for your YT channel. Without it, I never would have thought you had a channel if you didn’t tell me you had one in the comments this morning. You’ll grow your channel a LOT more with those simple changes alone!

[@stefanfrank4715]

Thanks for the tips and suggestions! I‘ll make some changes when the next video goes up. Luckily he feel isn‘t influenced by the stab pads, so there is no mushy feeling but the sound got a little more pop to it. Slightly removes the higher pitch and centers the sound in the middle frequencies. I would recommend them in a more budget build. But then they elevate the sound.

[@tansrikeebs3533]

nice content i actually like it! Oh and also i hope u prepare english text because i dont understand a bit XD

[@stefanfrank4715]

Thanks a ton! Oh damn, not even a a little bit? XD Next time, i‘ll prepare something. New mic is also incoming.

[@tansrikeebs3533]

keycap infor please

[@stefanfrank4715]

Hi! These were some random keycaps from Amazon . But if you want something similar with higher quality, I would suggest epbt grey japanese.

[@mastergun3602]

maybe try the pc plate

[@stefanfrank4715]

I‘ll check if there is one. I am selling it right now, but if i can‘t get it to sell- i‘ll try a pc plate.

[@madisonfayem]

@@stefanfrank4715 Hey do you want to sell it to me? Hahaha!

[@stefanfrank4715]

@@madisonfayem Hey! Sure, i would. But i am selling only within europe right now. Don‘t want the hassle with international shipping. You could pm me if you are interested.
