Ikki68 Aurora - Affordable Gasket Mount Mechanical Keyboard!

[@andrewy2830]

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

Soz on the colours with this vid, some may be off, was playing around with settings. Thanks joy ❤️

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 :)

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@legoantstar]

Amazing wheel to wheel racing at 15:01. Glad you got this done. Now we can get to more important matters...

[@TaeKeyboards]

let me be please, i have a family to feed

[@SUNWUKONGMAX]

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

[@stevenxw]

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

[@tytylerclae]

I love this so much, especially the key that says "Delet"

[@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.

[@TheDredgenProject]

I'm happy I'm not the only one with that big drawer for my keeb stuff.

[@walkerstandard2373]

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

[@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

[@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. :)

[@orvarl-o2554]

regarding gaskets: symmetry is aestheticly pleasing, but if there is problems with vibration: asymmetry is your friend (reducing nr of 'eigen-frequencies')

[@TaeKeyboards]

ooo cool cool

[@jcat187]

Modal analysis would verify that.

[@jordangoh4775]

What does this mean? Do you mean we should alternate the gasket chips in both sides? Or is there no noticeable difference?

[@jcat187]

@@jordangoh4775 Modal analysis would verify all of the natural frequencies through numerical means.

[@orvarl-o2554]

@@jordangoh4775 don't know for the speciffic case. Just a comment on the assumption in the video that only symmetric mountings are relevant to consider. May not be any tangable effects for this case...

[@jdoroz1870]

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

[@MidoriShiro]

1:35 Switch to me ver of Chaeyoung and Dahyun :D Can't wait for the Twice themed keyboard!

[@Yeoul77]

The keycaps actually fit this keyboard EXTREMELY well

[@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!

[@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:

[@asmophane1232]

SOOOOBOOTIFUL Thanks for the quality content man!

[@metalunleashed]

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

[@VamosGamingSys]

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 :)

[@DogHairDontCare]

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

[@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.

[@jakeyzkrueger6634]

bought it from daily clack, really needed this in depth review. thanks again!

[@wrxsubaru02]

I liked how it sounded with all the gaskets in there.

[@sean5893]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@spinkey4842]

the keycap set, surprisingly sounds good

[@soul6858]

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

[@BrianLee-it3py]

The dedication!! Amazing vid man.

[@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.

[@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!

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

Side gaskets with no silicone under the pcb sounds amazing. It sounded deeper with more thock, the spacebar was more pronounced

Hey Tae i have been a fan of the channel for a while and i am currently expecting expecting a charcoal Aurora.
