Great review for an awesome keyboard. Interesting looking switches, kinda seem like the best of both worlds with a tactile hump but faster speeds like a linear. If I get this board I hear the pcb fits in standard 60% cases so I might upgrade the case and stabilisers later

[@Teknickel]

Yeah it does actually, but always double check on the cases for minor detail variations

[@animationcanceling]

One of the videos I referred to before buying my first keyboard. If you don't mind, could you give me the link to the magnetic cable?

@@Teknickel nice! thank you! Are you still using the gk64 or did you upgrade your keyboard?

[@eamesBot]

Wow, very informative details for the review!

[@ThomasWSmith-wm5xn]

please please pleeease make a video on the software.

[@Teknickel]

I'm going to have to think about it because I sold the keyboard already, and the software also drives me nuts

[@MagicIceMan]

Ty for review , got mine for 129$(117$ with coupon) from banggood with gateron brown switches, i think it's best deal for now like starter ... Gonna try dif stabs and switches on this for future more expensive builds

[@ezra6876]

Can you make the rgb any color?

[@Kizzster]

That left shift is a standard shift size right?

[@Teknickel]

Nooo, the left shift is the dumb, rare-ish 2U shift

[@westy5199]

can someone give me the link to the software i cant find it anywhere

[@ezraponnudurai]

This literally was the best review I could find for this keyboard. What's the other one you have your eye on?

[@Teknickel]

Right now, the Space65 Cyber Voyager, which I do have coming in soon. Also been eyeballing the IDOBAO ID80, as well as a budget 60% that I should have coming at some point.

did anyone figure out how to reprogram the lights

[@berryNtoast32]

He mentioned that the keyboard comes with a software to help with reprogramming the lights.

[@agoogleuser9025]

Been starting digging with the mechanical keyboard werld as well, I'd like to know if those switches are also "SMD" backlit compatible? I've got local markets selling ones with translucent housing but is tagged as "LED" compatible only not SMD lights.

[@hitz-_-4019]

i cant find the software anywhere. how do i get it?

[@Teknickel]

Yeah the company's kinda jank from the software side of things, but here's one spot to get the software: www.pc-100.com/downloads-mechanical-keyboard/

[@martydom9820]

Goes the pcb support plate mounted stabs?

[@Teknickel]

Like putting plate mount stabs on the PCB? That'll be a no. The PCB can support PCB mount stabs, because there are holes for them, BUT word on the street is that they don't support all kinds (also you might have to get a different plate to support the stabs). It's definitely safer to use some nicer plate mount stabs.

[@djr1003]

Can you swap out the stabilizers here?

[@Teknickel]

Yes, but only plate mount ones unfortunately

[@GentleUwU]

what plate is that?

[@Teknickel]

It's a gk64 plate which fits 60% boards. You can tell which one it is by the irregular shift key row being slight more left, causing the 3 rows of alphas to be evenly spaced, and the left shift key turning into a 2U key.

[@annedominiquecruz1157]

Hey! Did you put lube on your switches? ☺️

[@Teknickel]

Sorry, late reply, KZbin doesn't alert me on all my comments properly. Anyway, in the video, nope. Buuuut, nowadays I do lube at least the springs to reduce spring ping.

[@zfire8543]

Do you can put gmk Stabilizers on it ?

[@Teknickel]

you can if they're plate mount, i personally have not (i kinda sold it already)

[@catgirlow]

ur really underrated

[@tukus6855]

Does it come with the keycaps

[@Teknickel]

Not the ones I put on mine, the stock oens are really plain. Mostly greys and some red

[@tukus6855]

Teknickel ok thx

[@Red.exe7]

What angle is the case? 5 degrees?

[@Teknickel]

sorry for being dead for a while, it seems it sits around 7 degrees

[@Thoughtspresso]

i'm surprised that it's the 2u shift that bothers you, not the 1u shift on the right. Was it weird typing on that?

[@Grimmwoldds]

It's awkward to hit the right shift in the center if you don't have large hands(so no sweat with 1u, that's where people normally hit it), while the left shift doesn't even require a stretch. This is probably amplified by the slight repositioning of the QAZ stack(noticeably more vertical than a normal keyboard layout)

[@strix_7707]

I think it depend on how you typing.

[@jayden1164]

what type foam you get?

[@daviddang3458]

did you lube the switches?

[@Teknickel]

Nope

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I love sa keycaps if anyone out there doesnt at least own 1 set your missing out when typing something about it jusy feels good and reminds you of some older typewriters idl why but yeah good stuff I actually just ordered me the grey tofu with a brass plate and some cherry stabs and I also got some cherry mx blacks was going to get some zealios v2 but the price was already up there and 68 dollars on top was to much for me right now I did pay from some good blacks and some amazing lube that will make them almost identical to what I wanted and actually I prefer soem of the tones on a lubed cherry mx black seitch 100 prrcent one of the best sounds out there and for the price of the switches like 68 for 20 dollars is outstanding but yesh I also got some alright keycaps I will 100 percent be buying new keycaps next month probabaly the miami keycaps who knows either way its a fantastic build
