The Most BIG BRAIN Keyboard - Owlab LINK 65

[@munemshahriar3127]

While everyone was bashing this board for looking the same as QK65 bla bla my man comes up with this brilliant video explaining that much more than just the look ! Loved the video as usual !

[@Keybored]

:) Thanks! I mean, if people are looking for QK65, should buy a QK65 haha

[@givemesubspls6407]

The origin of this board came from the voice65, which came out over a year before the qk65, im guessing most people didnt know this which is why they were talking bad about it too

[@givemesubspls6407]

@@BoatJacker2 its not just that he does it because hes paid for it, theres multiple factors that you arent counting in, 1st there has to be the idea, the the product, and then the marketing, reviews could be made to help share informatin about something you like doing or maybe it is just for money, however most hobbyists here do it for the fun of it and to get their opinions out there, it shows how much people differ from one another and its really a great thing to see

[@MatthewEncina]

Loved the headphone analogy at the end. Very helpful. Interesting to see this type of porus foam enter the space.

[@Keybored]

:) Thanks Matthew! It was just really cool seeing manufacturers trying to engineer and innovate. A lot of "the same" kind of keyboards out there right now, and always good to see progress. Thanks for stopping by!

[@patiszejuicebox]

If they can make a LINK series with more layouts, I think Owlabs would make more bangers. Having the choice between a closed-cell and opened-celled build is actually pretty cool, as you can rock either a more dense or more spread-out sound.

[@ivovass195]

Man, the engineering in this board is impressive. Looks overcomplicated but they achieved a simplified assembly, very cool stuff. With this uncommon design I think more experimentation is required to find a likeable result as its behavior is different than most boards out there. Thank you for sharing

[@Keybored]

Absolutely! I just like the fact that manufacturers are trying new things and trying to innovate. I feel like a lot of new boards have been copies of others and it's good to see some progress!

[@ivovass195]

@@Keybored yes gotta appreciate innovative ideas indeed

[@KittySneeze]

You mention the benefits of “matching” switches to specific keyboards/configurations to maximize the end product. I feel like this would be a great subject to cover as a follow-up video to your “thock vs clack” video. Maybe the start of a series dedicated to keyboard “sound.” From my experience, This is a process is currently founded on trial-and-error or anecdotal evidence. Basically, you’ve got to try different switches on a board to see which one you like or watch a typing test with your keyboard specific parts to approximate the differences.

[@Keybored]

Unfortunately, a lot of the matching is that trial and error. I realized that some great switches just sound terrible on certain boards, and some really stand out. For this Link, putting in a more bassy, heavy sounding switch like the oil king kind of fought against the higher pitched, snappy sound of the Link. But putting in a long stem SOTC really helped to emphasize the snappy clack, and really made the board come alive. It's crazy all the different levers you can pull to shape the keyboard sound

[@Th0rNe]

It would make for an interesting video indeed. I second that request.

[@PWzhouster]

The open/closed headphone analogy is actually brilliant. Though I won't be joining on the Link (joined QK65 R2), the meticulous detail as to how all the components are individually designed and then mesh together is pretty incredible to see. I know Alex wasn't a huge fan of the sound without the foam, and generally doesn't love the PE-foam sound signature; but I'm sure many people will be very happy with their PE foam-ed up boards and hearing the QK/Link back to back really does illustrate that even similar boards (from the same company same form-factor, with all that foam) will have nuanced differences!

[@Keybored]

Definitely! As long as companies start to understand the individual effects of all these foams, etc., they can start to shape the keyboard sound to a certain direction they want to hit. Hope we see more of it in the future!

[@danielp121]

I like the comparison between the QK being closed back and LINK being open back. That's a pretty accurate analysis.

[@Misamaa_]

This is the exact review I was looking for to help me decide whether or not I wanted to get the LINK65! Such great details, thanks!

[@Keybored]

You're very welcome!

[@sadmochineko]

i love the unique engineering of this board, always looking for something that has an interesting design! but my question is: is it possible to make it thock instead? im still learning about materials and how it affects the sound, but i assume the metal casing in boards result in a clackier sound.

[@Keybored]

I feel like given its design, this keyboard will be mainly a clack board

[@pogcat3773]

poron and pe foam + pc plate will get you there

[@sadmochineko]

@@pogcat3773 would the pc plate really make so much of a difference?

[@pogcat3773]

@@sadmochineko it has no flex cuts, and PC is a deeper sounding material. The different foam would be doing most of the work to make it sound deeper but the PC plate would help a bit. Pom would work too.

I totally wrote this board off because it was a 30min group buy on a day I worked in the middle of my shift. Then I had a late break and walking to my car I look at my phone and see it's 6:27pm and it clicks out of no where that this GB had 3 minutes left. With my phone I was able to get to qwerty's site, select the grey case with chroma back and ordered in the last minute of the GB. I'm so excited.

That idea for adjustable springs... true innovator... Owlabs should be really proud you've got this keyboard.

[@HybRidChrome]

"The g-string of plates," really had me going lol

[@Boyetto-san]

Interesting that you brought up the parallel with open and closed headphones. I would point out that there are many closed back headphones that manage to sound open and wide, but I can definitely see what you mean on the level of basic acoustics. But just like how it's very much possible to get a wide sounding closed headphone and a narrow sounding open headphone, you definitely got the LINK65 to sound on the deeper side. In that sense, maybe the more open air design helps emphasize the sound characteristics of the other components, whereas a more closed design tends to sort of lay over a specific sound over the sound of the other components?

[@darthollpheist1156]

I love the sound of these board all you guys do, but most of you use linear switches. And I get it. You're all really advanced typists that don't need any feedback to type really fast. I on the other hand, while I do type at "above average" (according to the simple test when you type is "typing test"), I still need some feedback and I still need to look down from time to time. Not a lot. But sometimes. That's why I use side printed caps. It gives the look of a blank cap while still having the symbol or letter if you really need it.

[@JadedJawnee]

Amazing video! Just want to recommend perhaps excluding PE foam next time so that we can get a better feel for the character of each of the boards. I know that's an owlabs specialty, but it was hard to compare this board to others (even in the same brand) when PE foam is involved. I wanted to see the character of the link vs. qk65, not the nature of PE foam in different boards. Just a suggestion!

[@Keybored]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@MrElariv]

Might have been a request from Owlabs since there are a couple of videos without the PE foam already. Spoiler though, without PE foam, since the pcb has very large flex cuts, there's even less resonance in the board so it sounds more quiet (not muted). I think Owlab really designed the Link around the 2 white foams + pe foam.

[@zhieson]

Good suggestion. I am a Ownlab/foam fan but this is a good point. Foam does even the playing field and make the nuances hard to hear.

[@z4k1_zaki65]

I honestly wouldnt know if the double cost is really worth the difference in sound between qk65 and link65. Maybe what's more important would be the FEEL. If the link65 is way more comfortable to type on in extended periods of time without user getting tired, and does this better than the qk65, then it's gotta be worth it

[@TyrellW]

damn, if I didn't have a QK65 already I would've definitely got a Link. I really like that you compared them though.

:) They sound very different. When I go back and forth, it makes me do a double take

[@TyrellW]

​@@Keybored that is true, I appreciated the comparison and I'm sure others will too. I don't agree with your comparison to headphones though, it would be the same thing if the case was open. I am guessing there's less resonance from the plate and pcb, so the emphasis is on the sound of the switch resonating throughout the case, like you said. very interesting board, I really like Owlab's innovating

Love this video, with your complete explanation of what made this keyboard unique. I originally didn't care much for this board as I saw it as just another version of the QK65, but this video changed my opinion on that. I completely agree with you on this keyboard being one of the most innovative technically designed keyboards as of late, with the incorporation of knowledge from the audiophile scene. I always felt that keyboard design needed to mesh knowledge gained from the audio scene to expand on keyboard sound profiles. I also want to ask, while this keyboard is able to produce the open back type of sound like you described, is it also able to be configured to have a closed back type sound like the QK65?

Yup, QK is definitely more "Bassy" and resonant than the Link. Very different sound signatures indeed. It's like when I first got an AKG K701 back in the day, connected through a DAC/AMP... then I played something like Kanye West on it and thought it sounded terrible... But then I played something like Fleetwood Mac and then was blown away... very different signatures indeed

[@looksrarekeyboards2994]

[@chongzterz]

Could you modified QK with the airy foam and improve the sound like the link 65?

[@Keybored]

I'm sure the QK with more open plates, clackier switches can get close to it. But also just the design of the link I think makes this sound the way it does

[@chongzterz]

@@Keybored Thank you. Your review of Link 65 is indeed great. Sound is subjective. If one could modify a cheap board to sound premium, that wld be an art.

[@atypicalaudio]

I would like to say that some headphones sound wildly differently than others while sharing open-back or closed-back characteristics (e.g. hd600 has almost no soundstage, but the haymonicdyne zeus for about the same cost has tons of soundstage), but the comparison to keyboards for how sound travels in terms of the science is done very well. Another quality video, as always!

Super interesting content. The headphone analogy was great, and the idea of a switch matching a keyboard is fascinating. I would love to hear a little more about this and how to match switches to boards. 👏👏 Edit: Oh I see you replied to someone saying it's trial and error. Still, it would be interesting to know your "matches" for other boards

[@Keybored]

:) I usually start by putting in a switch that I know how it typically sounds. If the board allows that switch to sound like it should, it's a pretty neutral board and can take most switches fine. Some boards sound deeper and some sound higher. Some sound muted and some sound loud. Then you get a pretty good idea. If the board is overly muted, then grab a set of switches that are a bit too loud, vice versa. Then at the end of the day, you can get that exact sound you're looking for

[@bakeraus]

Sounds like another PE foam filled board, which I'm not mad at all because people have that preference. Owlabs and QWERTY are pushing price and design which is awesome to see.

[@christianklement]

sweet comparison, thanks a lot

[@Keybored]

No problem!

[@albertko1]

Leaf springs are a pretty reliable a proven suspension solution... I would love to see this idea taken to the nth degree... some madlad engineering full dampeners on it. A coilover pushrod suspension system... Not just sprung but also damped for compression and rebound.

[@2b2c1d2]

So the real question is, IS IT BETTER THAN THE QK65 imo the sound of the qk65 is better, though it might be more fun for typing on the link65. I think I would still stick to the qk65 because the r2 version already has pcb cuts and it's flexy enough

[@shynnsup8383]

I actually wanted the Voice65 but just heard they will not restock it again. I don't know where this aversion for screws comes from, screws are good, they give me security.

L is lubed and f is filmed. These are for switches. There is 1 plate for each build and pbt is the material of the key caps. Hope that helps

[@124kon]

If you used the black foam with pom plate, would it be more thocky?

[@Keybored]

The Pom plate would make it seem more "thocky." But the black foam will dampen the sound a bit more, since it's a denser material and sound waves will lose more energy as it travels through it. Also, denser materials have the ability to dampen more lower frequency sound as well.
