Things You Need to Know About The Zoom65 V2

[@CaviteTechnology]

Love the review AJ! Got the Teal variant to review and I agree with all your points as well :D Appreciate the work you did with the sound test. I know how long that took you! 🤣💙

[@Akeynote]

Dude CaviteTech wasuuuup!!! I figured as much. I seen your vid too and it was solid lol! Thanks for coming through.

[@siegekeebs]

Man, the amount of work you put into this stuff - your production quality is great, you're super informative and you're interactive and fun to watch on camera. You have the talent and put in the work! Don't forget about me once you finally blow up like you deserve!

[@Akeynote]

Brah… you know I got you! Thanks for the kinda words. I actually wasn’t super happy with this since I was rushing to get it out before the bonus gift ended. It’s nice to know you still felt it was high enough quality!

[@JavierLe171]

i really like the word you used to describe the zoom65 series. Yes, 'pioneer'!

[@Akeynote]

I really like your comment! lol

[@jonorebi]

Can't imagine how long it took for all the configurations. Thanks for all the effort you put in, I'm def going to check this one out!

[@Akeynote]

Brother you have no idea lol. I’m glad I could bring you some value!

[@turtlepregnancy]

Damn, these are some good videos man. Good job! Also, the teal is phenomenal!

[@Akeynote]

wow thanks so much man. I wish they sent the teal sadge

[@ImOnMy116]

Yo this is the definitive review with all those sound tests, dang man, gotta commend you for your time on that! Realize they’re totally different boards, but seems like the Mode Envoy (at a similar starting price point) or the arc 60 (for another $100 or so) would be more compelling to me, but the color / aesthetic customization certainly is unmatched.

[@Akeynote]

You are a person of culture. Maybe next time I should through in some other keebs for a value proposition. I pretty much agree lol.

[@ImOnMy116]

@@Akeynote Haha, thank you man! It’s nuts trying to keep track of all these boards coming out all the time, but for sure wouldn’t turn down any comparisons you had to offer in a video like this! Alexotos (one of the seemingly few who already has a Mode Envoy) said he’d pick it over an arc60! If I could use a 60 for work, I’d probably lean towards the arc, but I need the arrows/ navigation on the right to function.

[@Akeynote]

Yeah same. I have an Arc60 in the queue but they sent it kinda late so haven’t checked it out yet.

[@ImOnMy116]

@@Akeynote Will definitely look forward to your take if/when it makes its way to the top of the queue!

[@GelatinSkeleton]

thanks so much for this! can’t imagine how long all those configurations took to build and shoot, huge thank you as someone new to the hobby. ❤ hope you’re having an awesome day!

[@Akeynote]

Anytime! I’m glad you got something from the video. Your comment has made my day amazing and hope you do as well!

[@mihneagogu1389]

really good content on this channel, well-thought, well explained and interactive. Great job!

[@Akeynote]

🙏 I appreciate it. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything I could for future videos!

[@andrewbohata5804]

This video is awesome - as someone pretty new to the hobby, I don't know a whole lot about how plates effect the sound of your keyboard besides the generalization of "pc thocky fr4 clacky." Having the back to back sound tests with the insane amount of configurations was super helpful, and I can't imagine how long it took to shoot all of those

[@Akeynote]

Welcome to the hobby! I used to wish people did this back when I started so what better way to help the community. Appreciate you stopping by!!

[@dangoniko]

i also got the ivory cream! it honestly looks so elegant and clean... and sounds great too. thanks for making all these sound tests available!

[@Akeynote]

Nice I like the weight the most. It’s like a creamy mint color lol

[@Manboyking22]

Just wanna say you've got a great energy as an entertainer or presenter of some kind. Came for the keyboard review subbed to see your skills grow👍

[@Akeynote]

Wow thanks for the high praise! I appreciate you, and thanks for the sub 👍🏽

[@ecsqueeshi]

Thanks for all the sound profiles on builds! Huge help to confirm that I picked the right parts!

[@Akeynote]

Nice! Hope you enjoy

[@minidapirate]

Respect. Thank you for the amount of work you do. I loved the sound differences one by one. You're great :)

[@minidapirate]

subbed just for the sound differences vid

[@Akeynote]

That’s wasup I appreciate you!

[@GalenCrayn]

What a great video. You have a new subscriber!

[@Akeynote]

Ssiiick thanks. Running a giveaway, check out the qk80 video!

[@leonard.nicolae]

Nice to make all the sound tests. Big thanks!

[@Akeynote]

Anytime! I always felt like creators needed to do this, so here I am lol

[@muCephei_]

Enjoyed your video AJ! Off topic, I love the screensaver/live wallpaper? on your display

[@Akeynote]

I appreciate it! You can find it on steam. Just type in pixelated anime it should show up lol. I also didn’t complain about how many builds I had to do this time lol.

[@jammies701]

How do you feel about the Quartz switches? Heard good things about the stock performance

[@Akeynote]

I only use stock switches now lol. I feel like if their not good enough stock why use them. These are definitely in the rotation now. Didn’t sound good with carbon fiber tho. Much better with pc and Ali.

[@jammies701]

Love the video, always great vibes

[@Akeynote]

Thank you 🙌

[@TheNEpatriotsrule1]

I'm not as interested in this board but absolutely love that you went through all the plates and foam configs. Great video.

[@Akeynote]

I appreciate you brah

[@sta7icz388]

Sick review thank you so much can't wait to get mine. What is your mousepad love it??

[@Akeynote]

Thanks! It’s a mousepad from red bubble. The seller doesn’t sell it anymore

[@BlueSaturnn]

Thanks for this! Needed to hear some different plate options! I Decided to go for a Carbon Fiber plate as extra instead of Alu!

[@Akeynote]

Anytime!

[@karstenk.6067]

Top Video Thanks !

[@Akeynote]

Top comment you the best!

[@mailmanclips4126]

Great vid really appreciated the sound comparison format at the end, you're the only person I've seen with the alu plate could you tell me what the flex is like/ how its different compared to the pc?

[@Akeynote]

Super different. The Alu is pretty stiff in comparison. As a whole it’s not the stiffest Alu keyboard I’ve tried. If flex is what your looking for I’d avoid Alu as a general rule. Some boards have bigger gaskets so it’s it’s ok but that’s not the case here.

[@MachoLiz]

great review!! do you think they'll be doing another round of assembled versions like they did with the TKL?

[@Akeynote]

Thanks! This is pretty much an assembled version. No keycaps and switches for this and As of now this will be the last iteration. Meletrix will be moving on to newer projects.

[@9fd]

Do all these foams come standard with the keyboard or did you buy the 20 dollar dampener kit?

[@Akeynote]

They come with!

[@9fd]

@@Akeynotethank you!

[@DerpMESTER]

Im looking over the preoders for it and I was wondering what the Sea Shipping and Air shipping was since I never seen those on preorders.

[@Akeynote]

I would send over a email to the vendor your going to use. It’ll depend on various things only they would know.

[@coyotex850]

Basically that determines the shipping method they use to get the boards from their factory or warehouse to the vendors such as connonkeys etc...air shipping is faster but its more costly

[@fable9958]

How did you get split keycaps on Zoom65 V2?

[@Akeynote]

Hot swap supports the layout

[@skolrandom]

Wait, isn't POM plate softer than PC one? Other than that, great video, as always!

[@Akeynote]

PC is a much less dense material. So it has more flex.

[@skolrandom]

@@Akeynote well damn, I googled for a bit and it sure looks like it, not that much less dense, but still less. however I'm pretty sure I've heard many times from content creators that POM is more flexible and creates deeper sound, than PC. thanks, gonna fall into another rabbit hole!

[@Akeynote]

@@skolrandom to each their own! I’m sure there are some boards out there that this may be the case, definitely not this one though. At least the sound part is pretty much true across the board lol. Thanks for checking out the vid though!

[@xoison4299]

How to get a 3-piece space bar? Can you do this hotswap or does it need to be soldered

[@Akeynote]

Hot swap pcb supports the layout. No need to solder 👍🏽

[@LS-is5ob]

love the zoom65 back but the top of the board is what makes me not wanna buy it... i think the knob looks weird and the overall top view is just idk i can't describe it.

[@Akeynote]

That’s alright! To each their own definitely.

[@ninjaskills103]

hi, does anyone know how to toggle the rgb settings or change the color and what not. i tried to map a key using via but nothing worked.

[@Akeynote]

in via You have to map RGB toggle on, RGB mode+, sat+,sat-, bright+,bright- on dedicated keys. I use Q-U to make it simple. Then you’ll have access to all the different lighting options.

[@clickaclacka4202]

the amount of work to try all the foam configs with different plates deserved a like

[@Akeynote]

Thanks 🙏 and thanks 🙏. You deserve a like 😝
