@Consumer Tech Review Can you make a video about the best keyboard under $100? A lot of new keyboards have been released since the last time you made a tier list.
This keyboard is amazing and im so happy they quickly improved from the CK721 board. On another note, CTR could you try getting your hands on some of the BAREBONES Redragon keyboards sold exclusively from Micro Center? They're all 5-pin hotswap with removable type-c cables and pre-installed dampening between the steel plate and PCB. I use the BBK552 myself but they also have the BBK530 (Pro) and the BBK556 Devarajas.
@@maildump4395 I ask someone who uses Akko cs silver (cuz that's what I'm using) he said that cherry profile on a north-facing pcb and using Akko cs silver switches don't have interference.
You posted a video a year ago about your top 10 accessories for your desk. A lot of people were asking what desk you had and I also was very interested. Don’t think you listed it in the description. Do you mind sharing? Thank you ❤
i have it and i love it but one big thing is the right shift key is 1.5u and i cant find any shift key that size! they could have just used 1.75 !! also if they ever come out with different plates then honesty will be a perfect keyboard for the price plus im pairing it with the mm712 mouse
Thanks for covering the more budget friendly options man. A lot of the other keyboard youtubers I follow lean more towards the enthusiast grade stuff which is cool and all but not really for everybody especially since there's also a lot of good stuff in this less expensive price range like you've shown
They are not called box switched because of the stem. They are called box switches because the actuation mechanism of the switch is enclosed inside a box, the very white box because of which you advised not to lube the switches by hand.
Just bought the CK721, regarding the USBC connectivity being recesses, Its own supplied USBC cable would not fit unless I shaved the sides. Why the recess that to be a such a tight fit is just silly as now I can only charge it with that shaved cable.
for this price range i would pick fantech maxfit67 it has better keycaps and spare keycaps and it's south facing and its wireless. please do a review on it.
Was interested in the AC067 until i found out that the mode switch is under the spacebar, which kindda sucks. The budget goto 65% aluminum right now is the finalkey v65 which ticks all features. Its basically a budget zoom65/qk65.
I got it "used" on amazon under a like new condition and it was brand new! The box had never been opened. The price was insane at $32! I was able to customize it and make it my own for well under the full price.
I don't have twitter or reddit unfortunately so I've missed the past few giveaways, but as always I really enjoyed this week's vid. I appreciate the thoroughness of your reviews and the clarity with which you articulate product comparisons (I'm a big fan of the TH66 and TH80). The budget custom keyboard community is a better place with you in it. Keep up the great work man!
Cool that they updated it. Many people were looking forward to the 721 and then they took so long to get it to market that everyone had become more used to boards with hot swap and other features being more common as Akko etc became popular. So I saw a lot of people telling CM the original model was too little too late. Just recently found out they've updated it now with hot swap and dampening inside. Almost want to give it a try now.
I like CM but their custom keeb line is wasted. I still dont understand why they release the ck720 (lacks wireless) and the mk721 (non hotswap) - instead of just one kb with all the features in it.
I hate that they don't include the right numpad like they did the master keys pro M white where numpad and arrow section of the keyboard are merged. Also, don't buy Microsoft products as Microsoft Office apps are online and free on their official MS website. Your documents are stored in a cloud too.
For me its still more on the gamer gamer pre-built kb side than custom board. Custom is buying just a kit and putting whatever brand or type of switches and keycaps you prefer. Just my thoughts.
Hey so I recently got gifted my first mechanical keyboard and I’ve been obsessed with trying to find the best mods for it. It’s a keychron k8 with brown switches. The first think I did was a silicone mold which went great but now I want to change out the switches for a quieter linear that comes pre lubed. Any suggestions? Also I use the keyboard primarily for typing and I want a set of key caps that will help maximize my productivity, should I stick with cherry profile?
Damn, those stabs have no play between the plate and stab housing. They look like they could almost pass as PCB mounted. For 100 USD it seems to be a really nice keyboard and will likely be much easier to find in stock than something like the Keychron V2.
A new budget keebs has entered the market named monsgeek m1 (akko sub brand) which is aluminum 75% (same as the mod 007s v2)and it is like $70 for the baresbone kit. hoped you could review it soon 🎉
The shocking this is that you're recommending this over keychron. I don't know if there's a single area this beats a v1 other than that swappable face plate.
Lost me at the plastic body... I suppose it'll be good for travel since it's lighter. But it's not even BT/wireless. I think there are better options out there.
Hey Los, I tried to follow the giveaway instructions, I have the necessary accounts and followed instructions but cant seem to find the required post to comment to. I must admit I am not as savvy with some of these social media as I wish I was lol. love the vids and just getting into this..must have watched at least 50 vids in the past week. very well done. side note: I haven't seen anyone use or mention Plastidip as an option for dampening,
Great vid! Btw you should check on royal kludge's pro keyboard series. Insane value with the aluminum case I'm currently building an rk68 pro with custom spray paint, double shot abs keycaps and feker matcha switches and it all costs me less than 200$ !
Los, seems that there are scammers tagging onto your channel using the giveaway as a means of contacting people. I for one had a Telegram message which I now believe wasn't you
It's an LK67 clone... So I'll see what the price is... Ok, comes with foam, 5 pin hotswap, a nice knob, moddable top plate. 100 bucks is straight value. 25-50 on better switches and tapemod will be perfect.
Its not straight value though, that kit is about 50-60 euro or even less i imagine, for the remaining 40 euro you can buy any 70 switches of your liking and also choose a decent pbt keycap set
@@starplatinumrqm I guess it depends on what your time is worth. Comes with case and plate foam. A metal knob. Switches and caps. A fully built lk67 is 88 on Amazon. A kit is closer to 50 on ali but again, what is your time worth + the supplies to mod yourself.
Had some microphone issues this video…I do apologize, should be fixed for all future videos.
No Prob We love you ❤
Could hardly notice
Review the new Akko Switches
it's okay since you are so handsome i will forgive everything about you
@Consumer Tech Review Can you make a video about the best keyboard under $100? A lot of new keyboards have been released since the last time you made a tier list.
I dont think This needs to be modded if I get this I may only change the switches because this looks good
Wish there are other layout options for those who like other layout options.

those switch internals look exactly like kaihl box royals, even the scratchiness you are describing is similar to stock box royals.
You know it's sponsored when you hear rattle immediately, but still says they're good. 🤣
Looks kinda cool! (no pun intended)
Switches with long pole stems work fine with little to no interference on North Facing PCBs. It's a good workaround.
How long does the stem have to be to a long pole?

Can we switch to another colour buttons? Like blues in your video ...
been using on screen keyboard for 2 days because I can't decide which one to get. someone decide for me. nice video

Definitely going to check that out!
Hey, are the royal kludge pbt double shot keycaps good/worth it?
So is the ck720 the updated version or the ck721?
you should definitely review the Ajazz AC067, it is insane value for the price!
Was interested in the AC067 until i found out that the mode switch is under the spacebar, which kindda sucks. The budget goto 65% aluminum right now is the finalkey v65 which ticks all features. Its basically a budget zoom65/qk65.
@@law2xoliver isnt it the cidoo v65?
@@Centicc yep. Lots of folks waiting for r2 as well.
I’m wanting to be in the giveaway but I have no social media and was wondering if there was any other ways you could do the giveaway without twitter
Another way to customize the metal cover is to use it under a colored light, it'll reflect the lights color!
The problem with the 721 when changing keycap is the R-shift is not standard sized, I think it's a 1.5u
I NEED HELP PLS! Akko 3086B vs Royal Kludge RK84. which one should i choose?
I got it "used" on amazon under a like new condition and it was brand new! The box had never been opened. The price was insane at $32! I was able to customize it and make it my own for well under the full price.

Are you going to review Akko pom switches?
why the sound on the vid feels kinda muted
nice vid bro. Keep it up

do you know the akko PC75B v2 Plus Air???
You should review the new akko v3 cream switches
I like the additional nod function they provide, but I still prefer the sound of my nj80 over this keyboard.
I hate that they don't include the right numpad like they did the master keys pro M white where numpad and arrow section of the keyboard are merged.

at 12:08 what was on the stabilizers🤔🤔🤔🤔
Man, you gotta use your twitter more often!
That audio!?

If you like clackines go with Akko cs crystal wine red
Also they are super cheap 16 dollars per 45 pack
That spacebar sounds absolutely awful! Is there any way to fix that?
this is insane value for the price, but i wish the entire board was aluminum
Audio?
Damn, those stabs have no play between the plate and stab housing. They look like they could almost pass as PCB mounted. For 100 USD it seems to be a really nice keyboard and will likely be much easier to find in stock than something like the Keychron V2.
Audio is killing me
I feel like there many bootleg aliexpress keebs that perform better than this one, but I salute the idea that big brands go custom.
Looking for you Akko 5078B review 👀
A new budget keebs has entered the market named monsgeek m1 (akko sub brand) which is aluminum 75% (same as the mod 007s v2)and it is like $70 for the baresbone kit. hoped you could review it soon 🎉
review the ilovbee i61! its 30 bucks and its great for its price
Can you please review the Akko Pc75bv2

SHOCKING

he is looking like 2005 Triple H lmfao
I see a notification I click!
Why is the keyboards never ever on amazon??? why do more makers skip thats stage???
is the last entry a poll? from 2021? linear gang btw.
They're getting there!
The case needs refinement, they need to move on from tray-mount, and then maybe it'll finally be in my radar.
Below average board, still quite far from akko, keychron and such

another garbage keyboard from gaming brand 😂
Any recommendations for a tkl with rgb and it's white? My cousin is looking for options
Tecware Veil 87, MK870. Both good budget options with RGB (no side leds), south facing and hotswap.
CIY TETSER 84 offer the same features for 35 bucks just no nob
