This man actually water-pressed a legend onto each key. That's true commitment

[@TaeKeyboards]

yolo

[@SAVESAYSHELLO]

Could you show a more in depth process on how you got those legends onto the keycaps? They look soooooooo good, I want to do that myself

[@stanley909]

oh that? if you build model kits, that's pretty normal.

[@derkaiser9881]

The amount of effort you put into your builds is just staggering. Putting custom LEGENDS on a keycap set is not something I thought I'd ever see. That's just incredible.

[@mechendev6319]

I am here to say this. Well done!

[@LadBooboo]

This keyboard brought back memories of having that transparent gameboy all those years ago

[@tooethan8310]

It also reminds me of the see through green N64

Proof that you don't need a fancy GMK keycap set for your board to sound *chef's kiss*

[@matthewsoesito6041]

its so cool to see how ur production quality rose over the last couple years, i learned a lot ab keebs from ur vids! thanks for doing what u do :)

[@tophrii]

Your reviews are the most thorough and easy to digest among all the ikki review boards I've watched (and there has been a lot) thank you for your work :)

[@Zamm1n]

I'm so impressed with the way those keycaps turned out. Cost very little money and with the custom water transfers looks like a much more expensive set. The full clear build looks great, reminds me of the old school clear Game Boys and N64s. Fantastic work and thanks for the video/review!

[@SUNWUKONGMAX]

Thanks for the amazing vid once again. Glad you spent so much time on the GB I hopped on.

[@datjp]

Nice!!!!! Was definitely waiting for this. We heard you were going to get the Ikki68Aurora, and man, I'm super excited! Your setup definitely sounds super nice regarding the board, really digging it. :)

[@gilltoby64]

Thanks to your vids I just finished making my first mech, and i'm loving it! Keep up the great work man

[@buildingfilming]

This looks amazing I love the keycaps with the legends!

omg it just gets thockier the less gasket chips u have, i love it. i'm so excited for this board to come in.

[@BrianLee-it3py]

The dedication!! Amazing vid man.

[@Jacked153]

Awesome looking build, very unique. Keycaps are my favourite part actually - good job

[@gr.7media]

Honestly these videos are so relaxing

[@Fate025]

Went ahead and ordered a limited edition Devoted colourway Ikki68 right after watching your video! Nice video! And amazed at the work you put into making stickers for the keycaps :)

[@ogakun5080]

Can't wait for this to land on my desk, this is my very first keyboard group buy I am so excited

[@Clebby]

Great video! The amount of patience for this, and with a tight shedule. What a legend

[@TaeKeyboards]

:chae:

[@8bitsamurai6]

Damn the diy logo might just sold me and I love the layout of this board. So dope love that you labeled the caps.

[@SxpnthR]

Just got in on the GB for this, super excited

[@TheLoneGamerAce]

Tae actually made this video not to show off the board, but to promote Dahyun and Chaeyoung's Melody project playing in the background

[@diazsutan]

nice

[@DogHairDontCare]

That intense labor of putting on legends.... you sir, are THE legend

[@utubekebs]

I always like watching your videos. Great quality and presentation. Smooth and gentle pacing with a calm voice, true blue honesty on reviews. Very informative and hella creative too. :) Seldom do we get your type of review style in KZbin. We are truly blessed. Thanks Tae!

[@TaeKeyboards]

many many thanks 🥰

[@danieljolley9319]

I like the letters custom style! Like A real Pro... It's begin to reveal the ultimate detail of the hobby. I think it's a enjoyable hobby! Bravo way to go Sir sounds pretty good too

This board got so creative omg the joy custom was sweet! cant wait for the rest of the members lol

[@Edwin-mk2nz]

OMG, this is so good! and the thock on that spacebar!! Forget about the so call high-ends, I have all of them and none of them sound this good! And most importantly, this even has wireless lol. that's literally the best keyboard in the entire hobby right now.

[@SamA-ll2dt]

Can't wait for mine to arrive!

[@NyahEwan]

This board looks beautiful and sounds beautiful. Wow

[@formulabrian]

The build was complete when I realized that we were only half way through the vid. What a legend with the keycaps and all the diff configs.

[@spinkey4842]

[@metalunleashed]

Been watching your videos before this recent boom of keyboard content creators happened. I gotta say you're something special

[@jdoroz1870]

this man really made a build with $6 keycaps sound amazing

[@zynclori]

Got the Charcoal version of this kit and I'm super stoked! Can't wait to try it out for myself

[@zynclori]

Finally got mine just the other day, got around to building it today and it's an excellent board! It's my second keeb (first one was a gk61) and I'm loving the experience so far.

[@godzillaguy]

Looks very nice! Thanks for showing the logo chip more! Other videos haven't explained much about it

[@TaeKeyboards]

lol, yeh well the logo chip wasn't really ready at this point. and I don't think the other guys had LEDs there in the first place.

[@claporga]

The KBD67 Lite has the same issue when tightening the halves together because the gaskets protrude further than the screw threads. Causes that bowing on the case in between screw points. Awesome video as always, Tae!

[@eraserheadSH]

the custom legends are god's work. you're such an inspiration

[@christophergalvez6975]

Sounds so good with less gaskets and dampening

[@walkerstandard2373]

Those keycaps hold more value than most regular gmk sets in my eyes

[@SeoMoon1155]

The keycaps actually fit this keyboard EXTREMELY well

[@JustArcher19]

This sounded soooo amazinvt

[@Kurdtbro]

Those keycaps are fire lol. Fits very well with the aesthetic of the board

[@BenedictTanShanWen]

That's such a rad keycap idea. Might have to pick up a set of clears to try that out.

[@samdeur]

i joined the groupbuy 2 days ago.. so happy you got to tryout a proto.. You always cover points i like to hear and touch on things that are important to me.. excellent job. Btw i was ll ready to grab the charcoal one then my wife said.. No you already have black boards that's so boring.. As i can't argue with that logic i joined the mint GB... also bought an affordable green keycap set that looked good to me on aliexprex cherry profile.. Also added the brass weight and a 7+1 6.25 mint stab set.. i want to also tryout split spacebar never treid that...

[@TaeKeyboards]

haha, i think for a plastic board, it's fun to get a colour such a mint. It pairs really well with the whole plastic aesthetic imo.

[@samdeur]

@@TaeKeyboards good point never thought of it that way.. hahaha

[@sean5893]

reminds me of the old macs and keyboards from 15/20 years ago, the coloured translucent appearance aged well

Hey Tae i have been a fan of the channel for a while and i am currently expecting expecting a charcoal Aurora. I would love for you to do a detailed video on how you customized those keycaps and what are their characteristics, would the legends wear off after awhile? Maybe i will give shot with customizing a set of my own. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work!

[@handmademedal8005]

wowowowowow we need more see-through caps pls

Looks great, sounds great! Price point, I cannot afford. lol! For the lucky ones who got themselves one, enjoy!! :)

[@Triannosaurus]

Omg I’ve been using that keycap set for my custom key tester board and sometimes for accents pieces on my boards. I’ve always had the idea to add legends to them like you did! What process did you use for it? Looks awesome 👏
