QK80 & Gateron X R1 on Hype Alu
Keyboard: QK80 (Taeha giveaway win)
Gaskets: Black (none at sb)
Plate: Red Alu from Hypekeyboards
Keycaps: GMK Deepwell
Switches: Gateron X R1
Lube: 205g0
Films: TX .15
Springs: Geon 18mm 60g?
Stabilizers: Durock?
Mods: Force break
Cleaning switches with bits of paper towel never gets less tedious but gotta do what you gotta do for one of my fav switches. Now they sound very crisp and don't feel oily anymore. I had black bottom milky yellow before and while these two may look similar, they sound quite different. Gat x is more like mx blacks with how clacky they can be. Love it.
You may have noticed the artisan tray and the gold cable in the vid. I actually won both at a meetup yesterday! Had some raffle luck and guessing-the-cable-length skills lol. NRD nest xxl fits perfectly in front of the monitor, although I kinda wish it was a more subdued color.

Once I start using it, I don't wanna switch off. Perhaps I feel compelled to retain the renewed muscle memory of the compact layout. Anyway this is sounding real goood. I love how the artisan blends in too.

Martingale & Leobog Kayking on PP (trimmed poles)
I thought uv is why those keycaps are yellowing?
it can also be reversed by uv with the help of hydrogen peroxide
yea but I read on a forum that someone bleached their keys under direct sunlight. idk the science behind it but I'll try the simplest method before buying stuff like retrobright
definitely sounds compressed or lower bitrate, but the visual definition is a nice upgrade. Colors seem to be different as well though
true I think the colors are more accurate. sucks that the mic is holding it back. I think the best option is to return to the old phone unfortunately as I prioritize sound over visuals
@@alceray fair enough. Perhaps just use this phone for thumbnail photos lol
Love your vid, the way you describe things and the way you unboxed it, so detailed. Subscribed :)
@@touchdafishy you have no idea how much that means to me. I'm always critical of my voice/speech and no one has ever complimented it before. I appreciate the overwhelming love bro. I might make more voiceover reviews in the future who knows
That smaller Apple keyboard is the best. I used the Extended Keyboard II for decades but this model still sounds better. It was fun back in the day because things used the keyboard mainly, so you'd be pressing one key at a time hard to proceed, and hear the lovely resonance.
sangeo spacebar is always goated
always
ye this def sounds better than the other vid
I feel like im the only one experiencing this but the wirless just wont work, it worked this morning when i got it and plugged it in, came home from work and its just not working. I used a wire and it works fine but when I unplugged it, it just disconnects ig. In bluetooth it still says conected tho what should i do?
how to reset this keyboard please?
og plastic goes hard
Where did you get the plate file?
hype had it alr so I just ordered assuming it was on the list
why mx speedsilver
why not, it's cherry and it's underrated, both things I like
this qk has gotten so much milage and love from you. its like an adopted child
haha it's grown on me sm. the vids arent indicative of my daily drivers tho. like I use my soldered boards often but cant make more than one vid on them yk lol
@@alceray i do know, thats true, most of my daily rotation is soldered as well, only have a couple of boards i can swap switches easily for soundtests atm too
Your QK80 sounds great! Is that because of the custom plate? Or do you think a stock qk80 alu would perform similarly?
I dont have the stock alu plate but I think it also sounds great with the stock pom. ofc this is better but I think any non flex cut plate could sound like this
hey! i just got a cstc 40 a month ago and i really like it, I have struggled a bit with some loose switches (mostly a,s,z,x, .. that area), i think it might be because of the plate it came with, im just wondering if you had any trouble with it like me or if its just my unit did you buy a separate plate or are you using the stock one it came with? thanks for the videos, really pushed me to buy one!
I'm using the stock plate and yes I struggle with that too. you either have to use a switch fork or hold the plate up with your fingers when you press in switches, like I do. you know it's secure when you hear it clip in. unfortunately doesnt always work but I live with it
Thumb for Pepe Desk Mat😂
SSW v1 is frickin sweet. I wish I had more than 27 🤣
hows the non staggered. i tried non ortho at mini meet and couldnt type on it at all. did it take long acclimate?
I didn't find ortho very challenging. started off day 1 like -50 average wpm and went up to -10 wpm in a few weeks. however the bottom left keys (z/x/c/v) took longer to adjust to and I still sometimes mispress them in daily use 2 years later
Is there a standard plate option for the keyboard? I don’t want a flex plate
they're on aliexpress
which meteor white variant is this?
v2
emos are great, similar tone to xinahi but not as loud.
tx 57L endgame spring
i find this switch loves pc plate, about the only time i run a pc plate
its lit
Really planning on picking these up one day but how would you rate their smoothness? is there a noticible scratch with the factory lube?
it's glassy smooth, not a hint of scratch
sleeves go hard
Do you have any recommendations for boards that typing feels like the Unikorn?
Bakeneko is basically the unikorn without a weight afaik
nothing rly close but any bakeneko-like oring board would feel similar
whats the verdict on the board. im thinking of borrowing one as well to test other builds.
it lives up to the hype imo. consistent sound and feel, no hollowness, relatively hefty weight. idk if I'd pay over 1k for it but it'd be up there
@@alceray damn, thats both good and bad news haha. but good to know it lives up to the hype.
exact same build? this one sounds a lot clackier than the other video. sunshine boost?
I just closed the curtains for the other vid. I thought I heard a difference too. It's the sun buff.
Sounds pretty good, how does it compare to other drop in 60s you have tried
Only sinanju was comparable but korn is much better, even with the flexcut holding it back. It's well balanced in looks, sound, and feel, whereas sinanju was carried by the looks. It sounded weirdly dense and lacked character. Korn's jst cable is also out of the way and doesn't interfere with the feel. The design is much more intentional and nothing like a bakeneko clone.
I have a Freya Ultra and ended up ordering an outer Nylon plate to go with my PP inner plate. PP has deeper alphas, yet nylon has a deeper spacebar. So interesting! Great video comparison 😁
Which foam(s) did you use?
none
Hope they release a 65% pro
Its been so long and there is still no better board in this price range
Great vid! do you have a link on where I can buy the kit? thanks
did the leobog browns fall off for you?
not rly, more like my preference has shifted to light tactiles. leobog brown is still a top tier medium tactile
Hmm what if we put these stems into cherry housings
good question. I'll try it sometime
So progressive 55g is your thing?
idk what you mean by progressive but it depends on many factors, including length, weight, and brand. I'd say my favs so far are this chyna one, tx 57g short (for mx browns), and tx 55g medium (for linear full travels)
More Creamy Keyboard please hehe
I'm not a fan of creamy :(
have you tried topre?
yep I had a hhkb pro classic a while ago. modded it with silencing rings. I tried to like it but the sound and feel weren't for me so I sold it. much prefer orange alps.
sick build. What did you do for the cable?? it looks cool
it's a braided cable from 15cables. highly recommend, they have some high quality cables
sounds great. im a fan of the sbl
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The KB sound is so satisfying. Sort of Thocky sound.
deepwell on brown is hot
Who cares. Not a Singa board
I gotta buy another pcb because my velvet shipped with a messed up jst port
kailh bcps are nice. I need to grab some one of these years 🤣
What exactly do you mean by "taped bottom case"? Is it a force break between the bottom case and the external weight?
masking tape was applied on the whole bottom case, over the weight and everything, and a jst hole was cut out
this looks nice but your frog mini with deepwell is a legendary combo
yessir
🔥
want the bcps?
@@alceray yeah….. they aren’t the loudest switch but I like em. Have you tried them on carbon fibre?
@@ericseguin2421 no but I can
this might be one of the most pleasant top mount builds i have ever heard ngl
