The Raw Neo80 - Build & Showcase

[@keebtunes]

I totally didn't realize that one of my clips show "proxy" on it 😅not sure how that happened tbh....i'm such a noob

[@triplethea8176]

Noo you’re great! I love your cinematography

[@keebtunes]

@@triplethea8176 thank you so much, and if you have any advice, don't hesitate to let me know!! I'm trying to improve with every video

[@TridentLuckIsReal]

What switches did u use?

[@keebtunes]

@SBGOPS I used the aklo matcha green, which is a little more subdued for this kind of board but I was going for a certain sound profile with this one

[@TridentLuckIsReal]

@@keebtunes oh thanks for telling me, I’m getting a neo 80 soon so I’m not sure what switches I’m getting.

[@SpicyD_]

Hands down the best video and tutorial regarding this keyboard and overall assembly and types of plates. You deserve a lot more subs and likes. Thank you so much!

[@keebtunes]

Having to hear compliments like this from you means so much to me! I do this for the love of the hobby, so I'm just glad that people like you take the time to drop some love for me 🤩

[@roz1091]

Omg.. this is by far the most educational and thoughtful review of the neo80 I've seen. Installers dream.

[@keebtunes]

this is such a huge compliment and I really appreciate you!!!!

[@AquaPeet]

Thank you SO much for this extensive and very helpful video!!!! I followed the build and got everything done so I paused and tested with wire, YAY! Then I took the keeb and flopped onto the couch and... oh no... I couldn't get the wireless to pair!!! until I unpaused the video and you explained how to do it :D

[@keebtunes]

Thank you so much for showing your love and support! I love your fun response! 😂

[@tactaillike]

Building a Neo80 in a few days, and this is the most helpful video I've seen when it comes to actually building it- great video

[@keebtunes]

Thank you so much for watching this! I hope that it'll be helpful to you 🙂🙏

[@scottb7240]

How'd the build go?!

[@JoeBarloww]

Those stabs are so quiet! Sounds incredible, beautiful build.

[@keebtunes]

omg thank you so much!!!!!

[@Yamiyogami]

Holy... the oring mount sounds phenomenal on this

[@keebtunes]

It sounds crispy

[@avflune]

W intro, loved the quality and this new style ngl

[@keebtunes]

Yoooo thank you so much bro! I'm glad that you liked it 😁

[@JosePto]

Just got this kit with all plates and a second board for switching from one setup to another in just a few seconds, I would have liked to have individual o-rings or maglev mounting options too.

[@keebtunes]

what's your impression of the board so far?

[@JosePto]

@@keebtunes well I pre-ordered it yesterday in a GB, it will be months until it arrives sadly...

[@keebtunes]

@JosePto I hate GB wait time...

[@JosePto]

@@keebtunes it sucks but it's the only way to get a full custom unit here in Spain...

[@iancameron1495]

I haven't been able to find even pictures of another of these in RAW... and raw aluminum seems to be very rare in keyboards in general. I'm really falling for it partly because it is so unique. Any update on how the finish is aging/oxidizing after a couple of weeks?

[@keebtunes]

hi there! Yea, i think they're pretty rare because people probably like the finishing more, but there's a nice appeal to this. As I also mentioned though, they're smudge magnets, but no oxidization so far - just don't use any harsh cleaning solutions on them!

[@jeremygoh2747]

Nice build. Can't wait to put some "personality" into my raw 80!

[@keebtunes]

Ahaha! I think that's what'll make your board a bit more special than the rest

[@tea.2]

Love this keyboard! Once most of the kit is built out, it's actually pretty easy to assemble and take apart. Not that a normie like me could ever do that, but I can dream 😅. Thanks for another great video! ❤

[@keebtunes]

I made this vid for normies too

[@Sensates85]

How does it look now after a couple months? I'll be interested if you can share some pics somewhere..

[@keebtunes]

Of course! I've recently put the metal keycaps on it, and it's still smudgy but once you have it plopped down at your desk, there's not much moving it around, and you wouldn't be touching all over it either. I will post a picture of the keyboard with the metal keycaps!

[@jjopsu]

Watching this made me really want to buy this keyboard just so i could follow along and build it lol. Also the kequing keycaps are so cute.

[@keebtunes]

thank you so much for watching it!! So many build options on this one that even I was a bit overwhelmed with the editing lol...i also had these keycaps for about a year and have been wanting to use it so badly LOL

[@scottb7240]

Which stabs did you use for this build?

[@keebtunes]

i used the stabs that came included with the kit

[@scottb7240]

@@keebtunes Derp. Which plate/mounting combo do you think yielded the deepest sound signature? Bout to buy :D

[@keebtunes]

@scottb7240 I think the gasket dumbbells gave the best sound!!it's a great board...

[@MrMartin627]

Will there be a Neo100?

[@keebtunes]

I would love to get my hands on one if there was! This was such an improvement over the Neo65 that I hope that they keep on innovating.

[@Manjai122]

bro which mount(s) is/are your favourite and why?

[@keebtunes]

I love the magnetic mount because it's incredibly unique and it has a lot of mini flex all around...but aside from that, my 2nd fav is the spring mount from the Akko SPR series

[@Manjai122]

@@keebtunes oh wait i meant on the neo80 haha

[@keebtunes]

@usmanmohammad7417 ohhhh, then for sure it's the magnetic...it's the coolest mount I've ever used and it has nice bounce

[@keebtunes]

Bro!! I freaking goofed with my previous response, I had this board mixed up with the zoom65 when talking about the mounting styles...this one does not have the magnetic mount so if I confused you, I am terribly sorry. But yeah, I like the gasket jacket the most on this board because it had the softest flex and felt the best when typing. Totally my preference though.

[@Manjai122]

@@keebtunes yes yes hahaha i almost thought it was a bot replying, i gave up lolol. but yes gasket jacket is p good

[@morgan3625]

does it have LEDs are they south facing?

[@keebtunes]

No, none of the PCB versions for this board has LEDs, other than the ones that are put in as indicators for connections-mode.

[@keebtunes]

no these versions don't - the only LEDs are the indicators showing active connection mode

[@morgan3625]

@@keebtunes thanks

[@Poggy]

much to pingy for me. love the idea of a metal chassis, but plastic sounds so much nicer to me.

[@keebtunes]

Some modding would fix that pretty quickly but yeah it's got a flatter clack

[@D0ggo608]

Love it sm

[@keebtunes]

love your comment sm
