Now this keyboard is a true gamer key board

[@lilricemuncher09]

It is and I love it!! I can't wait to swap out these switches. About to do that and post a sound test video!

I still appreciate it greatly 🙏

Love you!!!

[@Instinct0425]

Now this is a great prebuilt for enthusiasts since you can lube switches, stabilizers, and have an all around great keyboard

[@lilricemuncher09]

It really is!! I just swapped the cherry mx red switches for C3 tangerines and lubed those. I also lubed the stabs and should be dropping a sound test either later today or tomorrow!

Dude swirl would make an awesome nightlight for my kids lol. Even though I personally would need a full size keyboard I can fully appreciate this smaller yet well rounded one.

[@lilricemuncher09]

The swirl effect looks really good on this keyboard for sure! I think you would like 65% keyboards too.

Overall from your review, I would say it’s solid. Something I would definitely buy if I didn’t already have a keyboard

[@lilricemuncher09]

Thanks LaZe_Nano! Sorry i didn't see your comment until now. It's a solid keyboard for sure and currently my main gaming one. We'll see if it sticks but so far so good!

Hey! Thank you so much and the keycaps are OEM profile.

I will be getting this soon. I also need a replacement LE version..I love that heavy beast..I have one in blues which I don't like any longer..

@@lilricemuncher09 Hi, are you going to pick up the Ducky x OneofZero? if so please do a review, looks nice.

[@lilricemuncher09]

@@balcaide87 Heyy! Thank you for the suggestion. I actually watched Badseed's review on it yesterday and it looks so nice. I really like the transparent bottom housing and the switch options the most. I think it's limited to 1000 copies and I'm not sure if I want to review it with it being so limited edition. I can't see many people benefitting from it. I did review the radiant series mecha sf (which is also LE and 2000 copies), but i'm certain Ducky will be launching more Mecha SF's in the near future.

[@TMDangerMouse]

Hey, Thanks for the video. I know it's been about a year since posting this video but can anyone tell me if the stabilizers are replaceable, I'm thinking of using Durock v2s?

[@ronniedizon9519]

Hey brother! Would you be able to shed some light on how to switch the board to the Mac layout? I have been staring at the manual for an hour and it still isn't clear, so i am definitely overlooking something lol.

[@ronniedizon9519]

Nevermind I figured it out. For anyone who wants to switch to a MAC OS layout, it's Pn + \| key. I was reading the manual wrong and doing Pn + Tab which is switching layouts, not operations systems.

Yo may i just ask what free bonus did u pick while u ordering frozen llama v2?

[@lilricemuncher09]

Hey! So sorry I didn't see this until now but I got an MK pin!! It's nothing special so if there's something else catching your eye, i might go with that. I think the silver and silent red switch models are completely out of stock for good now so if you're interested in getting one, you need to order asap!

[@betaflame3418]

This is decent and all. But the new id67, Drop alt low profile, and many others are more affordable and better options. Especially because they have arrow keys too. But great vid all the same. (I'm really hyped for the id67)

[@lilricemuncher09]

The Alt is not more affordable and it seems that the id67 hasn't shipped yet so I'm not sure why you're saying it's a better option. Also, 60% , 65, tkl, etc is a preference so I don't think it's fair to knock on this keyboard for not having arrow keys. The ID67 does look good though and I may review it.

[@betaflame3418]

@@lilricemuncher09 That's a fair point, but I still feel $160 is pretty expensive for this kind of keyboard.

[@lilricemuncher09]

For sure. I do agree it is a bit expensive.

Ola! are the stabilizers screw in?? are they easier to replace if ever you wanted to?

[@mikeykun4320]

Idk i still love frozen llama v2🥺

[@lilricemuncher09]

I still looooooooove that keyboard and it's my go to gaming keyboard at the moment but that might be changing soon.

[@monokrome]

I got this thing as an upgrade as a long time POK3R fan, but it is honestly underwhelming in comparison. The RGB mode won't work no matter what, even though configuring the keys works fine. Once I go out of configuration, the lights never turn on no matter what I do. On top of this, there's no obvious way to move Fn to the caps lock key like the POK3R had. The only option that I can find for that is horrible for coders, because it also replaces the / key with an inconvenient arrow that isn't even worth using. The manual shows a Fn_swap button, but is incredibly non-descript on how to use it. The design here is extremely lacking.

[@gabrieltrono9834]

Can i ask if its ok to use a type c to type c cable to connect it to my PC and laptop?

[@lilricemuncher09]

Yeah, that should be okay. I don't see the problem.

@@lilricemuncher09 oh was a little worried coz the type c cable is promoted for phone use

I don't have much to compare it to as this is my first board with front-facing legends. I kinda like it. When it comes to gaming, i like the oem profile but DSA is definitely good for productivity in my experience.

@@lilricemuncher09 It not so much the forward facing. Im just not a fan of the gamer font. Looks tacky imo. It's Allright but a clean nice font is where it's at for me :).
