Mr. Geon really does not miss... The F1-8X V2 is so lovely. Between the V2 and the 722, I prefer the V2 myself. I haven't had the privilege of having an OG F1 grace my desk, but the V2 is comfy to type on.
It's always a good thing when I don't find myself thinking about the front height of a board.
I still don't have an F1 for myself, and am eagerly awaiting the F1 V2 GB. Thank you again to xsunnyd for letting me build through his impressive collection.
If you made it this far, I'll be at Keeblife in just a few days! Excited to see everyone and all the kewl boards 8)

Such a satisfying sound!
This sounds incredible
sounds so good
this board is purely eargasm!
wow it sounds so so nice
this board looks so sophisticated and classy
Fantastic!
this goes hard
fantastic spacebar
Wow the sound is phenomenon, I thought it was like some sort of clacky cherry but this is the one I was looking for. Bassed
thoughts on the half plate vs the standard full?
No thoughts since we just built with standard full!
The CEM PCB doesn’t have any flex cuts, so I imagine there would be more bounce but not a ton if we went half plate.
If this client wants to do a half plate build in the future, I’ll come back with our findings 🥸📝
Did you use the standard viton o ring that came with the board? if not which material and hardness did you use?
Standard o-ring!
nice deskmat!
geon only!
great build!
wish this client was better at lubing switches tho
just needs some extra break in!
👀👍!
thoughts on the tx ap long pole stabs?
I think they work well! I don’t really use long poles in my personal builds.
The only other time I’ve used TX LPs is in the Freedom TKL build with Zakus. These Geon Blacks are allegedly just a Zaku recolor, and the stabs do what they need to do 😎
plate v1.1 or 1.3?
Very nice, wonder if i should try these geon blacks over mx on w1
Geon Blacks are long pole so just keep that in mind!
They’re also Tecsee iirc - not sure how well the bottom housings fit for a plateless W1. If you use the align plate, it’s probably fine, but Cherry + Plateless is a cheat code
@@marshmellohs great points! Cheat code it is
I've been on the fence for months about which "end game" kb to get, and was leaning towards the Frog TKL since I like the idea of parts and accessories being readily available, and I loathe group buys. But thanks in no small part to this video, I am now in the FL-8X V2 group buy with a 10-12 month wait.😅 I hope mine will sound this amazing!
o7 It'll be worth the wait!!
Which version of the alu plate is this?
1.1
Which PCB do you have? sounds great
I believe it’s the CEM PCB! It was a grayish color
Hello. Which PCB are you using? FR4 or CEM3?
CEM3
the f1 v2's side profile is straight up stunning
geon be cookin
I still prefer the sound of og f1 though (though I definitely prefer the feel of the newer F1s, the og v1 is just way too bouncy)
OG F1 is still undefeated sound wise 😎
The lower front height on the V2 really sells it for me. I like my keyboards comfy ✨
I prefer Haven TKL style, but I agree it looks great
which geon black switch is it?
These are the ones manufactured by Tecsee! Not the Haimu ones
My favorite F1-8x is yours. I'd like to hommage your build.
I will build V2 very soon and It gonna be my first one.
Would you please tell me all of things what you used?
Plate is the F1 v1.1 full aluminum plate and the PCB is the h87nu CEM version
All the other specs you can find in the video description :)
Which Geon Blacks are these? I think there are like 2 variants so far?? Sounds great!!
These are the ones from Tecsee!
!build
any foam in the board? im guessing none?
no foam!
@@marshmellohs thats crazy
@@x3LightNinGno?
Alu plate v4?
v1.1
Is this hotswap and are the switches filmed?
Soldered, and I don't believe they were filmed
did you join the V2 group buy? there were almost 3000 units sold !
I ended up passing because I got an F1-8X OG instead 😗
Is this the v1 or v4 alu plate?
v1
Sounds soft
I just wish they would have put the usb-c/daughter board in the middle
Right
They’re so many TKL with centred usb-c port out there, the F2-84 is an example. The F1 supports so many aftermarket tkl pcbs like Hiney’s H87 which makes it special and convenient
