I Tried a $35 Budget Custom Keyboard…

[@Trilucan]

The knob can be removed with a little bit of extra force (I use two rulers to pry it off) and you can find opaque and clear replacements online.

[@alonsoball8889]

What brand of knobs would fit? Not a fan of the red so I’ll probably look for a replacement hahaha

[@Trilucan]

You can pull the knob out, you just need alot of grip strength. But after pulling it out a few times, it get easier.

sup y’all, for removing the knob, the trick is to rock it back and forth(towards and away from the letter keys) and it’ll loosen up after a few aggressive rocks, then u can pull it out easier

[@ikky_mkb]

there are tons TONS of super great affordable boards on taobao leobog hi75, VGN VXE75, weikav sugar65, just to name a few (all aluminum btw and all under 55 USD) the keyboard scene matured in china so much so quickly, and every manufacturer is trying to kill one another in terms of price and quality

[@thatFarHunt]

That tactile knob thou 😍 we need that in more boards

[@LewisToh]

o yes

[@ciaojay7025]

The switches are prelubed. But it's too little lube. I have other 2 Leobog switches and they're really smooth, even their full pom tactile switch which is the Leobog Juggle V2

[@LewisToh]

its p good though

[@ciaojay7025]

@@LewisToh yes they are. And they're pretty cheap too.

[@txhalcyon]

I am in the US and just received my white hi75 kit today. I got it for around $57. Love the way it types and sounds. It is currently stock. I added KTT Macaron green linear switches and epomaker airy clear black keycaps.

do u guys know what the website for it is? because for me it said 75 USD dollars

[@MarcoH72]

It’s usually $75 in the US

[@otter2077]

Bought this all the way back in June and ppl on discord didnt believe me when I said it's a good keyboard under 40$ btw u can remove the knob, needs more force than ur usual knob. Leobog even sells replacement knobs if u think the logo+red is too ugly

[@LewisToh]

it’s crazy

[@kaeroseon]

unfortunate that it doesnt support pcb mounted stabs and an ugly (subjective) non standard knob. I've tried a lot of their switches and all of them are really great value but there are so many good switches for cheap these days.

[@Trilucan]

The logo on the knob definetely isnt pretty but luckily there are replacements that can be found online.

[@LewisToh]

sad

[@rinnoX1]

which leobog switches have you tried?

[@renkirigasaki]

yea, that knob are crazy hard to pull, I ended up leaves a bit of scratch mark on the body lol

[@byonibear]

what is the keycaps name? and where did you get it?

[@bradenwlf]

that keycap set is very nice, where did you purchase it?

[@mr.guillotine1312]

I wish I could get one of these. It sounds so much better than the cheap one I got for $35. I have a Tezarre TK61 and I've added a little foam to it and still need to do some more mods at some point. I do love the feel of mine at least, though I'd like heavier switches...but they're optical, so I'd have to Frankenstein something since I'm already using the Gateron Blacks, which, as far as I know, are the heaviest optical switch you can get otherwise. Another great video!

[@pvtpy1e]

I have those switches. I have them for my gaming keyboard builds.

[@jacquesguevarra9145]
