Life is simple. I see Andy video, i click.

life's simple whenever i see your comments on Andy video i like

[@HoaiNguyen-mm9ze]

Someone better give Wei better naming ideas

[@AndyVNguyen]

wei crazy for this one

[@ThePolarPanda]

I mean this in the most respectful and non-offensive way possible. Your name sounds like a Court case: *Class-Action \ Andy V Nguyen / Supreme Court Proceedings 2023*

[@AndyVNguyen]

Lmao

[@DvineDragoon]

Man i wish my qk75 didnt have exploded arrow cluster. It looks so much better stuck together.

[@AndyVNguyen]

Wholeheartedly agree!

[@EBSPITSBARZ]

Like a nj80?

[@M0rg3nT]

Nice to know we have similar tastes in layout, priorities, and preferences. Let's me trust you as a reviewer yay.

[@minhquanvu2944]

Monsgeek releashed the M1W 1 month ago and you won't belive the price of it. The official price of the full keyboard including akko's cream pro switches and "usable" keycap is 100$, but with the first 3 weeks of releash in TaoBao, the price gone down to 60~70$. The anodization is a little bit better than the previeus "main land china" version which doesn't support Via, the sound profile is much more clackier somehow

[@AndyVNguyen]

That’s just absolutely wild and clacky too??

[@minhquanvu2944]

@@AndyVNguyen yeah, it got supper popular in Vietnam thanks to every vendor started to pre ordering them. It's back to 100$ now but still very worth the price. Only complaints i can say about it is although the pcb is 1.1mm thin, Monsgeek put in 1.6mm pcb mount stab and the knob can't mute volumn. (3 modes version comes with oem software)

[@akyasu2295]

Hello đồng râm:3

[@ikono.]

if this was released in 2020 it would sell out so fast

[@AndyVNguyen]

Tbf everything sold out fast 2020

[@bosenngantor9160]

everything will sell out damn fast in 2020, oh and also, in 2020 everything would be double or triple the price on aftermarket even for a midtier board...when no one working outside and everyone trying to hit this hobby just for fomo

[@Stoic_Cat_]

Like the kb but wish the weight wasn't taco. Do they offer blank weight maybe?

[@AndyVNguyen]

I feel the same way. Not sure if they’d offer blank weights.. they have never done it before

[@izurou]

My favorite 75% layout, just dont know what you'd call it so its hard to find boards similar

[@AndyVNguyen]

yeah i can't think of the exact name either

[@gmprez17]

It's a compact 75% layout, so far keebs that carry the same layout tend to be more expensive than the exploded 75% keeb counterpart.

[@albertko1]

Really curious about how this stacked up vs the Zoom75 in typing feel since sound for the Zoom seems to be quite good. I do similarly prefer the Taco's version of the 75% layout for work

[@AndyVNguyen]

I like to this feel more but zoom spacebar is a littleee better

[@HenriG-i6g]

If you think the keyboard doesnt sound too good,why dont u ut in the foams?

[@wills.junks7]

Andy likes his spacebar long and thick

[@AndyVNguyen]

Yesssirrrr

[@manceirvin7068]

Where can I find those keycaps?

[@winitypes]

Andy why you don't have a review for JRIS65 & JRIS75 ? I think they are good boards for budget

[@AndyVNguyen]

Bc they didn’t send me one and I’m broke

[@DvineDragoon]

First time someone ever put cookies and cream on a taco😅

[@AndyVNguyen]

I’m an innovator

[@V1ntx_x]

Choco taco

[@ImOnMy116]

I do think there’s something quite humorous here when I think about a Chinese company designing / selling a keyboard called the taco with a sombrero on the weight. Seems like a solid price point for the build quality, but that’s a bummer about the space bar. Glad to see KBDfans offering both 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm PCBs with no flex cuts!!

[@PedroVictor-ck3ez]

How comes Andy is the only guy in the whole KZbin talking about this keyboard?

[@AndyVNguyen]

I know of at least a few other names that have it or have it coming. Guess the gb start wasn’t that important to them

[@Typell]

"I like em long & thick, I mean long, I mean yeah."

[@BlazinWolfz]

I was confused why it would be called Taco. I saw why it is called Taco and I am still confused

[@AndyVNguyen]

You’re telling me man I’m still confused too

[@Charlotte_Duong]

Taco no foam vs sonnet no foam, which 1 is ur choice Andy ???

[@AndyVNguyen]

sonnet but it's more exp

[@thuanphatchau1269]

@@AndyVNguyen Right now is 2024, and do you still think this board price is good for mid-range tier ?

thank you! maybe he'll return one day if i clean that suit first lmao

[@herhardt]

Hey! Which color is that? Burgundy or Grey Purple?

[@AndyVNguyen]

Burgundy

[@enki1584]

does it come with the switches when you order it?

[@AndyVNguyen]

Does not come with switches

[@woobinlee2602]

this or tufu 65 2.0? the only difference between two is just a size? or tacos performancr is better than tofu?

[@AndyVNguyen]

Layout and design. This design has a bigger weight and better acoustics

[@woobinlee2602]

@AndyVNguyen I see when you say acoustics you mean the sound keyboard is making compared to tofu?

[@AndyVNguyen]

it's just a heavier weight so it sounds a bit more substantial. the alphas are better. the spacebar is a little weak just like the tofu 2.0 though

[@woobinlee2602]

@@AndyVNguyen thks mate

[@TrevorBronowicki]

Dang this actually kinda slaps... Great vid.

[@AndyVNguyen]

Thanks felor! I wanna try diff plates and maybe just someee foam to try to beef up spacebar

[@luisOrtega-vk6io]

What stabilizers do you use?

[@AndyVNguyen]

in general tx ap or gateron v2

[@luisOrtega-vk6io]

@@AndyVNguyen thanks! TX stabilizers are god

[@WASDKap]

​@@luisOrtega-vk6io No, they are overrated. There is no godly stab, only stab that are suitable with your switch. Example, Tx stab sucks so bad on HB but Neo65 stock stab does the job so freaking well. So, stop praising TX stab.

[@sturdybutter]

So you can do top mount or bowl mount on this?

[@AndyVNguyen]

Yes

[@ryelo5448]

Honestly based, carne aseda goes hard

[@AndyVNguyen]

It’s my favorite aseda

[@markpew8111]

From a technical standpoint, I really like this board. It's a really nice 75%. But for me, and this is purely subjective, the taco name and engraving runes it for me. Other boards like the the Oden, the Pluto, the Yeti are named after Gods, planets and monsters. It has a certain cool factor. I love tacos as a food, but I just don't feel excited about buying one to type on. If this had a different name I feel like I'd be more excited. The keyboard itself looks awesome, I must just be weird, LOL.

[@kaeroseon]

Honestly I felt the same for the tofu. It just seemed out of place for a sharp looking tray mount. With the new 2.0 I feel the name fits better. But the taco takes it wayyy too far with the food naming scheme. It’s just odd.

[@onlyonestevie]

Looking forward to the KBD Fans Filet Mignon

I’d buy the shit out of that

[@hantuan107]

why flipped SB tho 👀

[@dcsoda1]

It’s kind of nice having enough different layout options that there’s ones I’m absolutely not interested in haha. Really don’t like the smashed together layout on a 75%, looks way too crammed.

[@AndyVNguyen]

Hahha true. So this layout is this smashed together or are you talking about the fully smashed no gaps lol

[@jumpoi]

This is built for red samurai keycaps

[@AndyVNguyen]

shooot yeah it is

[@xirxirxir]

might pick one up as a for fun board ngl

[@AndyVNguyen]

It’s def fun. That design is just so nice

[@bao1964]

this should have been named Ironman75 lmao, that side profile and colorway has nothing to do with Taco and EVERYTHING to do with the Mark 85 suit

[@AndyVNguyen]

Lmao that’s so true when someone mentioned on stream I couldn’t unsee it

[@AnhBoyDad]

It is good to get into hobbies this year 😂😂😂😂.

[@Ojas.mediratta]

Imo the spacebar is weaker in the top compared to bowl. It’s louder and higher pitched in top

ah i can see that yeah

After looking at reviews for about 10,000 keyboards ALL of which are pre order or group buy or you can never buy this fucking keyboard again status, I think maybe I'll just buy a fucking razer keyboard (that I can actually buy) and call it a day.
