DISCLAIMER: This board was sent over by Qwertykeys for the purpose of todays video, but all thoughts are my own, and they are seeing the video at the same time you are. Big thanks to Qwertykeys for sending it over to have a look at.
Having a look today at one of the hottest new budget options in mechanical keyboards, the neo70 by qwertykeys - using magnetic connectors for the pcb, two separate daughterboards and a completely screwless exterior. I have genuinely really enjoyed this board, and hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it!
The board will be available IN STOCK from Wednesday 22nd November over on the Qwertykeys site.
Check out the board here in the meantime: qwertykeys.notion.site/Neo70-...

Loved the vid! The magnetic connectors is a really cool idea! I'm hoping that these budget brands eventually tackle top mounts since its my favorite mounting style

I feel like the Neo boards from QK will be the final catalyst to separate the price brackets even further as a step to break into the mainstream. Let's be honest, even in the state it is at now, it's still a niche hobby. Acessibility will open up the market for EVERYONE. You can argue customizing a plastic board worth $40 is good enough, but there's the thought of going the extra mile for the feel of cold metal. QK and other brands can hold down the budget segment, while individual designers and manufacturers can keep experimenting with new concepts at a higher pricepoint. It creates a compromise for those that want a premium keyboard, and those that want functional art pieces. At least it's not some sort of vacuum anymore, where you'll get sucked in to spend $400 as an entry fee.

Magnetic badges, removable portion over arrow cluster, Avocado color are all options from older Matrix boards, add in the excellent ano for the Neo then this really seems like a Matrix lite! Love it

@HubertTheMad 8 ай бұрын

I was shocked at how good the ano felt on the Neo65, and really happy with the plateless config. I'm interested in getting a 70 to compare with the Cycle7 when it starts shipping (and selling the one that I don't like as much)! Imagine if Neo continues its product line to cover all layouts. Really insane. The Chinese keeb market is so competitive that I think we will really benefit from a lot more Cycles and Neos in the future (basic-ish boards that hit way above their price tag). That doesn't mean that there won't be room for unique boards, it's just that these companies really are dialing in quality, sound, and feel with a crazy good price.

@poppy69420 7 ай бұрын

I think they are gonna cover all layouts; there's already an Alice, arisu, and 75 on their notion page

@TM-zo1nz 6 ай бұрын

Both TKD and Neo will continue to roll out new layouts with competitive pricing for sure. Neo will release more products yearly than TKD, and mostly in-stock items. Looking forward to Neo Alice and Neo pad in 2024.

@poppy69420 6 ай бұрын

@@TM-zo1nz agree 100%, each appeal to slightly different people, both looking for budget boards, but one for patient people who got used to GB times and the other for people who just want to get their keeb and are tired of GBs.

@@poppy69420 Exactly, I got both Cycle7 and Neo70, and they feel quite different apart from the FRL layout. Cycle7 is a Fr4 plate with foam, ANSI, anodized purple, WKL Neo70 is an Alu plate without foam, ISO, spray-coated red, WK

@poppy69420 6 ай бұрын

@@TM-zo1nz Exactly what I expected, both sound great, just for difference audiences/sound profiles (heard cycle is a bit on the quieter side). Also, one question, this will vary from person to person, I know, but I need some opinions, do you prefer wkl or wk? All my current boards are WK and planning to get a new tkl or frl keeb and idk which one to get lol.

really love the content and appreciate the review! Curious how the gummy o ring config felt, I gathered most reviewers didn’t really like it for the neo 65, but I’ve personally been hoping for a more premium finish / better sounding bakeneko60.

@Charo.mp4 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! Honestly much better on this than the 65 in my opinion - the separate pcbs made it feel like a solid 60% o ring

@ImOnMy116 8 ай бұрын

@@Charo.mp4fantastic, that’s really encouraging! Here’s to hoping they can bring a 60% product to market! I recognize it’s sort of fallen out of favor in the sea of 65s/75s, and this seems to be the year of the FRL TKLs.

@MsToshi1990 8 ай бұрын

Quick tip I discovered myself when you don't have a plate fork! If you insert the switch and then push it forward while pressing down makes it snap in place nicely even on the softest plates! Just put your PCB flat on the table.

@Charo.mp4 8 ай бұрын

Oh fantastic, thank you!

@MsToshi1990 8 ай бұрын

@@Charo.mp4 of course! Let me know if it works for you. I also suggest to alternate the spots where you put them in and go in diagonal rows. It makes it so they give support to the switches you put in and the plate is less likely to pop down.

What's next for budget boards is larger layouts. People are starting to want their numpads back and some companies are already getting on it.

@thepopeofkeke 8 ай бұрын

I would like to understand why the “cool board man” trend is all 60,65, and 75’s? Is it just because it dropped the number pad so it was different?

@JojoDigitalArtist 8 ай бұрын

@@thepopeofkeke probably cause a lot of people don't super use a numpad in general and it's cheaper to produce smaller keyboards. But now people who do use numpad are in the hobby so it's being added more

The best way to describe how the neo70 magnetic connectors work is by using the immortal words of the russian bajur “How do magnets work? Really well. Really fucking well”
