This keyboard is so bad because I can't stop clicking it

[@samimurati4560]

So bad or good?

[@Blameclee]

@@samimurati4560good

[@Kirb77]

Right😢

[@satoruujj]

@@samimurati4560that’s a compliment

[@TheWorthlesss]

Fr its an addiction

[@daenanicodemus8070]

Thank you for your reviews. I really enjoy them and find them helpful. :)

[@Merkeebs]

Thank you for the support! Means alot~

[@lonrea2886]

i just came here to say that i love my pink al66! its my 1st 65% kb and im loving it soo much!

[@huffa8562]

Appreciate the comparison with the Sugar65. I've been looking for something budget that allows me to try split spacebars but the lack of wireless in todays' environment is a bit of a hard sell. I get most of the older premiums were wired only, and there's some purists out there but plenty of makers are able to build good BT capable keyboards (tri mode) in a solid metal case.

[@chiizuu752]

Now that the Sugar65 is dead, this is the only choice for me lmao

[@KyoruMizuruki]

Thanks for the sound test. Getting this board mainly for the Side RGB's (big plus for me)

[@ProIshaanPuri]

The entire video you didn't touch upon the volume knob? I hate that no youtubers ever talk about it, i want to know if its a premium tactial feel or not?

[@Fausto_moh]

I’m glad you made a video on it I just ordered it on Amazon and gonna give it a try. Hopefully it’s a keep

[@moon9106]

Sameee!!! This looks amazing especially since i got it on sale for 87$💸

[@TurboV8boi]

Did you keep it?

[@adrienjoshua6710]

How was it??

[@ChivesandOlives]

Thank god someone made a review on this board!!

[@mikeyyydaman8250]

Real

[@wsaddxyz9098]

amazing job

[@Speedygi81]

Just want to add, this keyboard is just an amazing board for the price. Those stabs are amazing even though they are plate-mounted.

[@olismart]

The keyboard software installer doesn't want to launch for me. Anyone know a fix for this?

[@kyladelacruz1915]

hey im just curious can i make the backlight just one solid colour?

[@darky1286]

i play allot of video games and i need a good keyboard is this keyboard good for gaming i mainly play fps games

[@Life_Is_A...]

Not a fan of the side LEDs.

[@KcCake]

Same as sugar 65 but almost 2x expensive.

[@Ssmm3712]

prebuilt with keycaps and switches though

[@KcCake]

@@Ssmm3712 barebones is $80

[@박정훈-f5c]

sugar65 is a SO messy and bad sound. like empty board sound. A66 is better

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

Wrong. Sugar65 doesnt have side lighting and isnt wireless.

[@KcCake]

@@TheOfficialFloridaMan sugar65 has the same side cutouts in the case

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

Ok here are your options: Xinmeng M71 (side lighting, no knob) Xinmeng A66 (no side lights, w/ knob) Xinmeng M67 (side lighting, no knob) Yunzii AL66 (side lighting, w/ knob) Sugar65 (no side lights, w/knob, wired only)

[@Ssmm3712]

xinmeng m66 w/knob

[@PhoenixKeebs]

And leobog hi75

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

@@PhoenixKeebs thats a completely different brand and style.

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

@@Ssmm3712 my number was off by one, its the M67. If you want the knob do A66

[@gameboyv1790]

Which one have qmk? I can’t fin the answer anywhere otn

[@DiaMondx2]

i really dont like the shiny sides

[@Diranobw]

deos the keyboard have the function for F11 etc or does it not work?

[@cxsnc]

I have a problem. I cannot use numbers and the ESC button. Please help 😢😢😢

[@RaGeDRaGoN100]

Does anyone know how to toggle the side light? I have it stuck on red :(

[@Zukiixx]

FN+ Spacebar

[@TWO_Nebb]

No RGB😍😍😍😍😍

[@AnberlinRoxxforeal]

I like the milk switches better, seriously the best switch I’ve ever felt.

[@milinmin6341]

Wanna know your thought about Yunzii AL66 vs Leobog HI8 😅

[@teelerplayz]

What size bit fits the screws holding the case together?

[@aramireu]

Thanks for the review. There is a simialr keyboard called Monka 6067. Care to review this one too?

[@danialahmad8912]

yunzii or akko ? xD

[@_mndb]

клавиатура шик, корпус, кейкапы, но стабилизаторы требуют доработки, свитчи же самые дешевые от оутему по ощущениям, их желательно бы сразу заменить

[@Comolokko293]

How can i press printscreen button ?

[@24kmetal99]

Pretty nice for the price but the keycaps look kind of dirty @8:55, can that be cleaned or it's contaminated during the manufacturing process?

[@Merkeebs]

Ah that's my bad, I'm having my studio construction done at the moment and didn't manage to place the dust cover over the top of the board which is why the keycaps look kind of dusty up close. In regular use this isn't a big deal. Board is just dirty cuz I left it in a construction zone lol

[@1700tt]

How is the latency in wireless?

[@Gaming.Trump.]

Does it work with xbox?

[@Sleepy_joe2697]

this looks better than the xingmeng a66

[@nightrunnerks]

Same board?

[@anikanawar5844]

​@@nightrunnerksyes, just with different branding.

[@ambasing69]

yeah it has sidelight

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

@@anikanawar5844wrong. A66 doesnt have side lighting. The software is different. The case is different. The keycaps are different. The switches are different.

[@paksoom8756]

Hi! How would you compare this to the Xinmeng M71?

[@youmi603]

Is there a way to turn off the red light indicator when the keyboard is in wired mode

[@Darkknight9035]

how do you edit the sideglow rgb?

[@jiyul-hwang]

Can I input ~ by pressing shift + esc?

[@Jae-Y]

I'm unsure about this particular model, but based on my experience with other 60 layout keyboards, "~" could usually be pressed by pressing "fn+shift+esc." Just so you know, my order for this keyboard is scheduled to arrive on Nov 20th. So, if you're still curious by then, give me a heads-up on this comment.

[@jiyul-hwang]

@@Jae-Y Ty for your reply . I finally ordered one too. I asked the same question to another reviewer and I got the answer that i can't keymaping with the own software but powerkeys program can. so im planning to use powerkeys.

[@Jae-Y]

@@jiyul-hwang Hey~ Just so you know, Fn+Shift+ESC works as a default, as I am typing this comment with AL66~

[@jiyul-hwang]

@@Jae-Y Thank you have a nice day!!

[@davidsilverfinger777]

is this a quite keyboard compared to other? ​@@Jae-Y

[@MinhTruong-g2k]

Does the side lightning has the function to light up following your key stroke? Thanks for the video!

[@PhoenixKeebs]

This or the Neo65?

[@Sleepy_joe2697]

this one if you are lazy af

[@Merkeebs]

If you have the budget for it, get the Neo65 lol I personally ordered one myself and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Though this board really isn't bad at all for a budget pick.

[@EnnoThieme]

how to chnage the rgb on the side of the board?

[@vinceabiera28]

This or xinmeng a66

[@ortxxxm]

In theory, since the form-factor of this board is extremely similar to other ones like gmk67, how possible would it be for a user to swap PCBs with this keyboard and a VIA/QMK compatible one? Extremely interested in your opinion, especially after I've seen you in the Al66 thread on r/mk :D

[@danyk821]

How fast is it ?

[@Frolov_voice]

Guys, which of these keyboards is better? Yunzii al66 or Xinmeng a66?

[@welee_9]

They are the same board. I'd go with the Yunzii al66 though simply because its easily available on amazon.

[@naturalglizzy4761]

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP my number keys arent work i tryed the hold down fn plus spacebar method but it dosent do anything

[@cxsnc]

How do I fix it? I have the problem 😢😢

[@fwconvex]

@@cxsnc Double tap the FN button to switch back to numbers.

[@milowong4635]

so the xinmeng and this board are exactly the same?

[@Merkeebs]

Yup based on my observations, they’re the same OEM board with the only difference being that the bottom accent piece is present on the xinmeng whereas this has nothing underneath.

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

⁠@@Merkeebsthats not true. The pcb is different. Xinmeng A66 doesnt have side lighting.

[@TheOfficialFloridaMan]

Xinmeng M71 (side lighting, no knob) Xinmeng A66 (no side lights, w/ knob) Xinmeng M67 (side lighting, no knob) Yunzii AL66 (side lighting, w/ knob) Sugar65 (no side lights, w/knob, wired only)

[@SlickNick19]

would you suggest this keyboard over the epomaker ek68?

[@Anonymous267-]

Yea

[@Anonymous267-]

And it has south facing

[@Drycamel67]

is it easy too press

[@jaben9654]

SHEEEESSHHH

[@jammies701]

Nice vid mate Don't know if 3+ minutes of sound test was necessary though. I'd have preferred that was separate and each example in the vid was 10 seconds, but it's your video, just saying

[@Dalton2v]

Gotta get that 10 minute video😂

[@matiasYarmuch]

Is it good for Fortnite?

[@jeffblank699]

Kinda. If you put speed switches in it, the board would perform a lot faster

[@Mies_RS]

3:36 just ah

[@RaGeDRaGoN100]

How do you get the knob to change volume?

[@Mike-of6lj]

Did you figure that out? Also wondering how to do that?

[@RaGeDRaGoN100]

No not yet. Maybe with the software but it doesnt work on mac@@Mike-of6lj

[@Mike-of6lj]

I think I figured it out, you have to hold down the knob for more than 3 seconds. @@RaGeDRaGoN100
