Thank you for the review Andy! I really appreciate your honest review on this video as it will be valuable for the community before joining the GB I just read all the comments and I will take any feedback for future improvement especially for the upcoming project Would love to work together again for review on future projects! *regarding PC case, yes we planned to add inserts for better longetivity!

[@robr640]

Call me crusty all you want, I'll never stop loving a good well done top mount board! Awesome video man!

[@AndyVNguyen]

My Eros top mount with diamond polished mx blacks is very nice and satisfies that itch for me. Too bad we could not get that to gb

[@prestonvarner611]

i like may others when i first got into the hobby. just slammed the boards with foam, thocc crap. and just kept doing that over and over. finally got some nicer boards and realized every board i had sounded and felt the same. transitioned into the no foam. 1.6mm pcb top mount. oh man its so nice.

[@lenguyenquangvinh2684]

So did I. I know people have preferences. But I just absolutely despise any keyboard sound test that stuff the pe foam in. All I hear is foam. I want to gear the combo of switches and case design.

[@AndyVNguyen]

1.6mm pcb is the bare minimum for me. need that full sound!

[@AquaPeet]

I somehow always end up with an Akko Piano Pro under my spacebar! It's just not too loud, no bottoming out of stabs horrors, a short travel.... so nice. 6 of my 7 boards have it.

[@GorKeys]

I agree with less plate material on space bar sounds better. Just like the kohaku.

[@AndyVNguyen]

Thanks for confirming!

Great video. As someone who has a mix of 65's (Forever65, TGR 910 ME V2, Typ65+, Neo65, QK65 V2 Classic, TX-65 PC and a Zoom65 V1), I could see my self adding this to my collection. Though I am still looking for a great deal on a smoke or imperial red Kohaku. :-) Oh, BTW. Spot on about Mode. I have nothing against them but Mode has a cult following and they talk like it's the best keyboard manufacturer/studio around. LOL They just aiiight.

[@ammaramgad3094]

@acabreros Heey nice 65 collection! I am actually looking for my first 65, would you mind giving me your thoughts about the neo65 vs qk65v2 vs envoy? They are all in stock and I am looking for something that sounds bright without the foam. I could also go for the this void but I don’t see myself waiting for 6 months haha Anyways will appreciate your help!

I live mode I’m new though but I’m not a fan of satiating months for a ground buy and with the risks that come with

[@riceshakes]

I'd totally buy this if I wasn't invested in my 910. You're entirely right, the 910 needs the SS or copper back weight and that was an extra 100ish. Then add the pp plate for 30ish and it's already $830 assuming you got it retail like I did. Love the end result but if this board is even 90% of that for almost half the price, it's a no brainer purchase for someone looking for a high end top mount 65%. Now if only they'd add threaded inserts for the PC version...

[@AndyVNguyen]

Dang didn’t know it added up to so much. I really considered it if I could get it in red. I think they added threaded inserts for pc based on geekhack.

*Kind of starts at $280.... lol. Even at the price optioned the way most would want it it's not a deal. Just seems a bit scummy that they lock the weight(s) behind a big upcharge.

[@tylerolinde]

I appreciate the craftmanship of keyboards in this tier. However the I feel the aesthetics of the back profile are kinda wasted since 98% of the time you are looking top-down or displaying caps forward on a stand. I'm all for a good weight that functions as the "bottom" but I'd like to see details on the "visible" side - as in front or top facing...maybe side - something akin to the Luminkey 65 with subtle details, maybe a badge, maybe an optional light indicator/diffuser. Again this is a beautiful keyboard and definitely eyeing the PC. Also thanks @andyvnguyen for the S+ Tier reviews.

[@AndyVNguyen]

Definitely valid commentary. It’s why it appeals to the old school enthusiast. Minimal design. The current trends have super fancy designs. I actually enjoy the paper80 design the most lol. I can see cool stuff from every angle.

[@arpeykeys]

did you have it in top mount at keeblife? I didn't even realize top mount was an option and honestly felt disappointed by the sound and feel cuz it was a board I was considering. but if it was top mount that really explains it lol. Ended up joining the paper80 after trying yours out though!

[@AndyVNguyen]

Yes it was in top mount at KL. This comment is exactly what I was referring to in the video lol. If you’re expecting or want gasket sound/feel then top mount won’t do it. You’re gonna love the paper80!

[@arpeykeys]

@@AndyVNguyen I might still get it for the o-ring. I always liked the feel of o-rings at meetups but never owned one yet. I figure that's not stiff feeling in comparison to top mount?

If you could only have either this or the forever (if they do a rerun) which one would you pick? I know one is gasket and one is top, but can only afford one or the other. I do like the top right blocker of forever, just something to make the keyboard stand out but the spacebar is too clean in the void

[@AndyVNguyen]

I like the aesthetic of this one way more and the assembly is easier. But forever gasket is very nice. So whichever you value more

[@SuperKMao]

Top right blocker vs no blocker is very different aesthetically Toblerone weight and back plate vs very minimalist outward appearing internal weight Forever spacebar wasn't great and I had to tinker quite a lot to get it to sound right. But I don't think you can go wrong with either.

[@SuperKMao]

@@ulqi thanks. That's a helpful start but all these designers have made many boards. I wanted to know which boards you specifically enjoyed. This is a huge variety of different aesthetics. Merisi is super simple and understated. Lin works can be crazy.

[@ulqi]

@@SuperKMao That comment started as a joke but if you wanna get into that, I guess we can talk about it. English is not my first language so excuse my grammar. My favourite board of all time is the jane v2 (and CE with backplate swapped because I hate the carbon fiber, I have a forged carbon one on mine and it looks really good!), but I also love the 910 gaf and gsk from yuktsi. Alice and 910/CE looks good from the front but I don't really like the back design (or rather, it has nothing special and is quite boring). Everything about the jane v2 is what I like, angle radius, side profile, bezel size, backplate design (dual tone on the v2 is gorgeos), toblerone weight and everything. I hate what they did on the ME tho. Long rubber feet ruins the aesthetic of the backplate, and I don't like the fact that it's screwless. The worst thing of all is the way the backplate is mounted, with the little gap to put the tool under. Overall, yuktsi design are most of the time at least good and sometimes just brilliant to me. Not a fan of the Tomo and Lena tho. For the 910/CE, top-right blocker is awesome but I'm not sure if yuktsi was the first one to do it so I won't give them credit for it just in case. Top-right blocker boards are my favourite 65%, with the Kyuu, Tsukuyomi and Haus beig my favourite. Unfortunately, Kyuu is overall quite a bad sounding board even tho it looks gorgeous, and Tsukuyomi and Haus' back looks boring as hell. From merisi, what I like in the sessantacinque/ottanquatro/dodici is the backplate design, the double chamfer is absolutely gorgeous, the logo is good looking and the brushed alu finish looks very nice. Side and front profile is also perfect to me, even tho it could be considered very classic. Baion experiments a lot with finishes and stuff, and is doing quite refreshing things. The OBJ1 and EX.23 looks insane, the finishes are very pretty and I like that they're trying something new because I'm starting to get tired of regular ano and cerakoting. Bias is also quite cool although very classic in it's design. I don't really like any other board they did. I like the kohaku and korn from elaine (tho idk how much yuktsi contributed in the korn, prob backplate design), haku has a beautiful backweight with glass and the way the fish has accents is very cool. I'm usually not a fan of thick bezels but somehome like it on that one. Unikorn is also, to me, almost perfect in it's design if it wasn't for the big UNIKORN logo on the side. Backplate looks like jane v2 so obviously I'm a big fan, the unicorn looks good, and the front and side of the board are once again just what I like. Plain, simple and nicely chose bezel width and angle radius. I absolutely love the Dolphin and EM8 from Linworks, even tho I'm usually not a fan of crazy looking boards like that. The curves are insane and I would love to put one of that thing on my desk. Back design is quite bad unfortunately, but I guess you're not buying these for the back. As you can see I love simple and sleek design most the time, and that's the reason I don't like the void. It's design philosophy reminds me of gamery kind of patterns, some sort of futuristic curves on the backplate and weight, dual tone on the board andy has doesn't look right, side profile is awful, and I'm not a fan of front lip but that's just personal (and the only thing I don't like about the jjw derivative as well, otherwhise wonderful board). Don't get me wrong, it seems like it's a wonderful board for the price, but to me that design is just a no-go and nothing I call endgame, you could've told me it was a new Neo board that I would've believe you.
