QK65v2 Classic - I Finally Got To Try This...

the goat posts again

[@alexotos]

Nah youre the goat

[@nicholasdao1201]

symbiote on a white board looks so good 😍

[@cebukitty]

i have the qk65 v2 paired with lubed KTT mints and it sounds so poppy.

[@BobbIehead]

Wow I just got mine yesterday, what a coincidence. I wish it used the ball catch system but otherwise its really good

[@locolama]

The badge on the back is so ugly, that and the plastic latches/clamps are what kept me from preordering.

[@GOTTHEDAWGINME]

It's not terribly bad, it's tolerable for me, but I like alice/ergo keyboards now😂

[@do_dah1072]

the badge for the dongle is great it odd but super cool honestly

[@reidersdigest]

I built the qk65v2 a while back, I’m a sucker for a screen… absolute banger

[@gudboic1208]

One of my favorite keebs

[@sxnthwave]

Didn't know that combo was forbidden, guess I have to try it now

[@재백이-g9s]

Goodd

[@KorsaKing]

I've been doubtful about pogo pins for a while. They have to make contact with the PCB, ergo, interference with PCB movement, unlikena wired connection where the cable can give/compress in ways impossible to practically detect. Put another way, the concept, although convenient, seems too rigid?

[@alexotos]

@@KorsaKing on this particular config I feel like it was implemented much too stiff but they’ve done it better in the past which is what’s confusing to me

[@qwertykeys2119]

@@alexotos yeah it's stiffer than neo70 i think; basically it's a fpc cable connected underneath with foam surrounding the pins themselves; it's just that there wasn't much height (in terms of room) to work with so users may feel harder when compared to other projects like neo80, ergo and 70

[@makmakg242]

Please do a Top Mount build and review of Rakk Hanan Ultra, because its literally the cheapest Top Mount Aluminum board the Philippines have in stock rn

[@jakemartins949]

@alexotos If you randomly package 2 of your "standard cables" taking up space in your storage, us noobies might buy the two for $25 or something.

[@Derply]

the comment on the cable, switch puller and keycap puller. a qk board was my first board and that switch puller is goated. i never used the cable, but thats only because i dont like coiled cables, and the keycap puller works well enough to keep

[@rocketsyncing]

Between this and KRUSH65, which one should I get if I want a nice clacky, poppy, no foam, nice typing feel?

[@leftcoastfunk]

I like the optional stuff for many reasons. Sure, at home I have my setup pretty well established and have everything I need. But say I want to bring a different board to work than the one I usually do, or to a friend's house or whatever - it's nice to just be able to grab the case knowing that there's already cheap cable and tools in there and don't have to worry about it. If it was optional and was only gonna save me 5 bucks or so, I would probably add it every time. If it was a $20 add-on that would make me think twice

[@SevericK_BooM]

If it’s 5 for all that stuff i absolutely want that stuff. I have like 8 keebs and am still using my qk cables. Most of my keebs haven’t came with cables.

[@iiJayNedo]

Hi Alex! I’ve been trying to find a cable like yours. Could you tell me where I can get one?

[@calvinenrico2311]

Are you going to review the luminkey lx60?

[@banksy1.618]

Which keyboard do you think has the best design for the top housing?

[@iuridacunha]

ISO sold out, sad day for the EU kids (like me)

[@do_dah1072]

I love these videos but I slowly have realized more and more how much different taste in switches I have compared to the goat because I hate the sound personally on this build but the build itself is pretty solid.

[@HDKALLDAY]

nice!

[@alexotos]

Thank you!!!

[@crisisza4133]

Hi alex juat wanted to know since i see you use iem's, but what woukd you say is kinda a good iem for a good budget or if you dont know which ones do you use?

[@S7ORM3X]

if it was my first board that probs mean i dont have any tools and for 5 bucks to have those inside its pretty neat

[@rtakak]

It also has a top mount option

[@zekeviews]

gmk symbiote

[@pr33tu_]

Hi Alex!! What do you think about the look of the board compared to the v1? The bezels on the v1 are a bit more substantial imo. Do you think this version brings the board into a more modern era?

[@alexotos]

@@pr33tu_ visually I like this one more! The previous one just felt cheap looking and I think it’s mostly preference but the shape here is nicer

[@zhenyangdai2681]

What’s the difference between this and original qk65?❤

[@z4k1_zaki65]

New mounting, thinner bezels, new magnetic pogo-pin daughter board, new weight, new bottom case, magnetic badge, screwless assembly

[@zhenyangdai2681]

@@z4k1_zaki65 Thanks！

[@ekish]

Man I wish they went with these small side borders on the OG QK65. Looks so good!

[@qwertykeys2119]

that's neo65 basically

[@ekish]

@@qwertykeys2119 true.

[@TastelessStew]

The plastic latches on this board is extremely terrible, it gets loose really easily and the board is just not solid as a whole. Sound and feel wise is ok but definitely cannot recommend this board to anyone

[@TastelessStew]

Really shame, waste of a potentially really good board

[@qwertykeys2119]

@@TastelessStew there should be two more backups in the bag as replacements - the gaps can me micro-adjusted with the screws on the latches

[@impointr]

I really wish they'd have gone with ball catches for this board rather than plastic clips honestly, at least if they really wanted to make it a screwless assembly. I know that lately QK wants to try new stuff for the sake of it but this is where they shouldn't have. Like some people in chat said, if those breaks you're done unless QK sell replacements for it. With ball catches you can just find which specs the board is using and just order them from any manufacturers or hardware stores that sell them. :/

[@qwertykeys2119]

1. we've put extra clips in the kit for replacements 2. when 65v2 and 65v2classic were out, there are multiple solutions out there for fast assembly - back then we wouldn't know which one is preferred by western market, so we used different approaches on different keyboards (neo vs. qk) 3. we always try new stuff for the sake of it, just that the route that didn't win the market would end up as "unnecessary" attempts but it's all hindsight 4. most ball-catch systems are customized (as the room between cases are minimal) and i doubt you can find it in a random hardware store hopefully this would clear your concerns. cheers!

[@dcchen4319]

I broke one the plastic clips and i can't fully close it anymoreNOOO great video as always anyway goat

[@qwertykeys2119]

there should be two more backups in the bag

[@Ewanger]

The plastic clips for the case really ruined this board for me, but I hear that they help with cleaner sound 🪥
