KBD67 Lite Review - The ULTIMATE Budget Custom Keyboard?

[@hamajineo]

Hey guys, I do just want to add that with the holee mod, I used 205g0 and NOT XHT BDZ, I’m sorry for not making that clearer!

[@user-zu3il2rr5t]

it fine still sounds like heaven

[@takoyakeys]

Used your holee mod tutorial to mod my friend’s keyboard the other week. Worked like a charm 🐙

[@ForDreeam]

What material do you use for holee mod? i tried bandaids, tape, eletrical tape.... and even TFLON tape. none of them seems to work on my k8 stock stabs, it stops being rattle but gets too mushy or the wire doesnt even fit in the housing

[@takoyakeys]

@@ForDreeam The tape could be hanging out too much off the edge, or folding in some places. I know exactly what you mean... maybe the width of the tape you were using was too wide? Hard to say. I used athletic tape and was thinking of trying out electrical tape next since there should be less friction.

[@Gandi2000]

@Aaron J. Widjaja the only downside of the KBD67lite vs NK65 EE is the case material, ABS VS PC, other than that the KBD67lite wins.

I’m surprised the factory lubed stabs were that consistent and actually performed decently compared to other stabilizer brands. Inclusion of stock cherry screw ins is a definite win in my books. And we now also know that holee works with xht bdz, very nice ^^

Some points to note: R2 has standoffs on the plate itself, which is injection moulded not cnc'd. R2 is slightly more stiff but sounds a little thockier as well.

[@bennyjackson5149]

Great review as always! The professionalism of your videos is unbelievable and you can tell by just watching the intros that you put a lot of effort into them. I do think you could work on your masking as it's distracting to see such flawless shots and compositions while the masks clip into the objects. It may not really impact the video as a whole but I think that it's something you should look into for that extra flare. It may be really tedious but if done in small bursts, it will pay off in the long run. Good stuff and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

As someone who's been irresponsibly collecting keebs for like five years now, I don't think you could have made a better choice. ABS plastic case and all, this thing absolutely dumps on the rest of my stable when it comes to sound and feel. It's just so good!

Hey! Great video overall but I would suggest using your right hand to test the stabilizers on the right side. When you were doing the sound test your hand was blocking the view of the right side stabilizers. Small thing but it would make it slightly better. Great video, much love ❤️

Copped a transparent one two days ago on Mechanical Keyboards and added to the order some Durock's V2 stabs. Going to put some NK Creams lubed with krytox 205g0 and filmed with the NK Vaporwave keycaps. Can't be more impatient about it really.

My mum requires Bluetooth for her boards so the battery option is definitely welcome even if you have to trade out VIA; we were originally trying to do a hot swap 65% iso Bluetooth board, but iso took the hit in favour of the other things.

[@cineensegundos]

that spacebar sound... holy moly thats so asmr xD

[@n3lls81]

Personally I would like a bluetooth feature on my boards. I always use a cable when I'm using it with my PC but having bluetooth is very versatile when you want to use the keyboard with other gadgets like an ipad, phone or smart TVs. Too bad most of the high end kits don't offer this.

I just lubed housings of stabs while on board and my stabs are best stock I've ever used.

[@_fatalruin]

The reason this board has the gasket mount implementation it does, is due to the Rama Works' U80-A "mute" design that was introduced when it was being designed. Most of Kbdfans stuff is ripped from other designers -- the Tofu being a clone of the Mekanisk Klippe for instance. I have a hard time supporting Kbdfans and other Chinese designers/vendors as they take good original ideas from designers that have become popular, clone them, and use their country's cheap labor (relative to US and Europe) to sell ton's of boards at non competitive prices.
