02:34 Sound: Stock 02:56 Sound Lubed 08:49 Sound: MODified It sounds pretty close. Maybe a bit more hollow??? Clacky/ thin/ loose?Hearing this, I wouldn’t bother messing with the tape. Thanks for going through the effort, so I don’t have to. 09:15 Sound: Compare other board Sounds pretty good stock… Thanks for the video…

[@mikeytypes]

@@TwilightTypingASMR the stock does sound good as is for sure

Thank you!

Don’t ever stop doing those finger snaps.

[@mikeytypes]

Is it helpful? Not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing lol

[@tr1ksh0t88]

hey I don't know if you've tried the Aula f75 but how do you think they compare? Also would you say the white keycaps are visible on the GX87 in the dark?

[@mikeytypes]

@@tr1ksh0t88 I haven’t tried the Aula F75, but it’s quite different as it’s a plastic casing while the GX87 is CNC aluminum. With back lighting visible but it’s not a shine through keycap

[@ngeeee222]

Hello sir. Are those asian mchose gx87 bad? Or is it the same with the gx87 in the video with just screw

[@mikeytypes]

@@ngeeee222 I haven’t tried out the ones they sell in Asia, but from what I had saw it looks like the lite version of the GX87. Though MCHOSE had told me the one on Indiegogo was an updated version of the board

[@NightcoreVLX]

how does this board compare to the rainy75? btw thanks for the video it was really informative

[@mikeytypes]

honestly I got rid of my Rainy75, I was really unhappy with the customer service and quality control that even though it's a great keyboard and sounds amazing I just couldn't support it. The Rainy75 sounds amazing and I would even say it sounds better than this keyboard, but this one also sounds great and works really well and much easier to open up and has the usb dongle slot plus easier to change modes. I do wish the MCHOSE GX87 had some room for mods, but other than that it's really great. In Korea they call it the TKL version of the Rainy75

im about to buy this bcz of this video. my 1st hot swappable mechanical keyboard

[@mikeytypes]

@@jmy976 the GX87 Ultra has become my daily right now. It really is nice

[@jmy976]

@@mikeytypes have u tried this keyboard with the Akko v3 creamy yellow pro? im so torn btwn getting the max or the ultra one.

[@mikeytypes]

@@jmy976 I’m using the ultra and it is great the biggest difference between the two being the ball bearing latch. I would say the new Akko switches way better either rosewood or botany from what I tried

[@jmy976]

@@mikeytypes yes! i saw your video on the botany switches. I prefer how the rosewood sounds compared to the botany one. thank you for the recommendation!!

[@edzbigornia7370]

Just ordered it lol im so excited to play around with mods, im not a big fan of how foamy it sounds, so im hoping it sounds good without the foam

[@mikeytypes]

Awesome! That’s fair honestly though I think for not foamy sounding Neo80 is great for that. This one I do find though now as foamy sounding as others I’ve tried it’s like a middle ground

[@nichapakongpraisant6898]

Hi, do you know where can I get GX87 software? I've tried so hard to look for it.

[@mikeytypes]

@@nichapakongpraisant6898 yeah if you go to the MCHOSE website and go to the bottom of the site there is firmware the MCHOSE Hub works with the GX87 even though it’s not on the list there

[@TSTLTK0322]

What is the difference between the 3 versions Lite, Lite and Ultra? QMK/VIA supports all 3 versions, right?

[@mikeytypes]

The current information that I know of is that the Ultra will be with the KTT Vintage Switches, so the Lite and Max maybe with the Matcha switches and it would be battery size difference so Lite would be 4000mah. All three with QMK/VIA support

[@TSTLTK0322]

@@mikeytypes As far as I know GX87 has been released for sale before. So are these 3 versions any different from the versions sold before? Please answer my question because I really want to buy it

[@mikeytypes]

@@TSTLTK0322 this one is a different version as I had explained in the video the one in Asia is a screw in case while this one is the ball bearing mount. I had asked MCHOSE about this as well so right now in ASIA they have a SE one, but they are doing a new version for this global launch. The indegogo starts on July 23 it’ll hopefully a lot more information as they didn’t give me much more information 😊

[@haoyuanboss]

great video! you should review the weikav record alice👍

[@mikeytypes]

Thank you! I was thinking about doing the Weikav, but I got another Alice keyboard on the way right now which I'll review in the next month 😊

[@axiionn]

+1 on this, since i am planning to actually get one

[@mikeytypes]

@@axiionn I’ll have to take a look I know during the summer sale it was incredibly budget priced

[@haoyuanboss]

@@mikeytypes can’t wait!

[@mwong2659]

any eta on when the new hall effect switches arrive? I HATE MY LEKKERS

[@mikeytypes]

@@mwong2659 I have the switches, but haven’t had the chance to make a video on them yet. A lot of collabs coming in which I’m thankful for but not a lot of chances to make my own things. I’m thinking if I need to start posting more, but hopefully within August I can as the Wooting 80HE arrives maybe end of next month

[@dukeisdebeste1375]

On the begin what is the keyboard called en th left

[@mikeytypes]

@@dukeisdebeste1375 in the intro? It would my the Monsgeek M1V3

[@dreadfools4454]

If only their lite and max version had the same feature of detachable frame.

[@mikeytypes]

Yeah, the ultra is really nice though I’ve been using it as my daily now

[@thetrashman5258]

maybe you should've tried the Tape Mod + Car Dampener, was thinking of that since the board might sound a little thin due to the flex cuts of the PCB

[@mikeytypes]

That's true I could have removed the bottom foam already in the keyboard and do the mod, but I do like how this keyboard is with the foam. Adding tape mod I found helps with the stabilizer sounds though and using the Akko Rosewood with it is just a wow

[@thetrashman5258]

@@mikeytypes would like to hear that in a different sound test, maybe in a short?

[@mikeytypes]

@@thetrashman5258 that’s a good idea I make shorts to promote so the one I’m posting tomorrow with the unboxing I’ll do that or I’ll do it for the KTT Vintage White switches separately short that maybe better

[@thetrashman5258]

@@mikeytypes looking forward to it

[@mikeytypes]

@@thetrashman5258 so I tested it out not the best idea as it was effecting the pcb as it was very tightly pressing on it
