Your review videos are great. Can you make a video about xinmeng m75, and compare it with aula f75?

[@itssamueltan]

Thanks! I'll checkout the XinMeng M75

[@linhnhiphanthi]

@@itssamueltan Thank you very much.

[@12hebrewtribes]

I have mine coming today, but not pleased with the 3000mah battery. I might look at replacing it, if I plan to use this keyboard long term. I also do not like how they did not include the plastic cover for people like me that eat at their desk from time to time.

[@itssamueltan]

You can definitely swap the battery for a bigger one. I wish a plastic cover was included too

[@amazingd0206]

using it as I watch the video lol

[@itssamueltan]

It's good right 🤣

[@Dane01019]

Video on your whole keyboard collection?

[@itssamueltan]

Too many tbh 🥲 my channel is my collection

[@SgtStarSlayer]

would be cool if you did a ground up build like a gk64xs with a resin frame/case with non-oem parts like stab cushions and other parts.

[@itssamueltan]

Definitely would be interested if I have the time to study and build one

[@SgtStarSlayer]

@@itssamueltan yep, 60-65% pcb’s are the ones compatible.

[@comunicloud30]

Does it work on Mac? Where option key?

[@itssamueltan]

Yes, just set it in QMK/VIA

[@masud.samsung]

Extra Space Bar purchase link?

[@itssamueltan]

It's by Domikey, sorry I forgot about the link 🤣

[@luisfontinelles5834]

mine one sound so hollow 😩

[@itssamueltan]

Why tho 🥲

[@nguyentuan-br1kz]

mine doesnt work with VIA, do u have any solution?

[@itssamueltan]

Is yours VIA compatible? You just need to flash the Jsoj file a few times for it to work

[@nguyentuan-br1kz]

@@itssamueltan I downloaded the latest VIA version and usb json file from ciddo web but still didnt work, i have no idea what it needs

[@itssamueltan]

@@nguyentuan-br1kz you need to flash the Json file a few times in VIA

[@pescador7320]

@@nguyentuan-br1kz mine at first seemed like it wouldn`t work but after messing around the layout appeared, id just suggest trying alot

[@thestrongesticefairy]

1:49 i broke 3 unused credit card prying open the top case

[@itssamueltan]

Damn

[@12hebrewtribes]

That is cause that is not the right tool. You need some plastic pry tools like the one used on laptop cases. They are cheap to buy and do not bend like credit cards. You will see the reviewer using the correct tool.

[@shoop9274]

the button in the middle always ruins this layout for me, why would you put another key between the space bars

[@itssamueltan]

I think because it's out of the way? With an Alice layout your fingers don't really go there anyway

[@shoop9274]

@@itssamueltan I have big hands and use my left thumb to press the space bar. the alice layouts without that button are much better

[@muskit_]

what if you remap that left 'middle' button to be space? I do agree though that it would be cool if they offered lefty, righty, and ambidextrous spacebar versions

[@shoop9274]

@@muskit_ no the solution is to buy an alice keyboard that has both space bars next to each other there are plenty of those around.

[@muskit_]

@@shoop9274 for the price though? this is the cheapest alice I can find so far though I can understand: personal optimal layout > price, otherwise it's a waste of money if you hate using it no matter how cheap
