guys you can turn off the LEDs... 🤣
Great board overall. However the diffuser is a weird one. If only you guys can provide updated diffusers in the future which are shorter, around half height of the current ones that would be great. Or even just flat blanks would be nice.
@@nsa5the diffusers are supposed to go under the plate but I think he put them on top for the build
Another banger video. I love that you go into the history of keyboards and layouts. Really sets your review videos apart. Top shelf stuff brother
thank you sir, really appreciate that!!
Nice. Been waiting for your take on this. Well done vid as always
Legend, thank you so much!
This board is so handsome, I wish someone would work out a layout though that doesn't have right shift on the wrong side of the arrows like that.
Also thank you for contributing to The Key Source! Excited for future issues.
Definitely agree with that, and thanks man! An exciting project that I am glad to have been a part of!
Cidoo ABM066 has the arrow cluster to the right of the right shift, but that shifts the layout a bit wider as a result. However they've added a screen and knob on top of it to balance it out. It's my daily driver at work and I like it a lot.
Color is gorgeous, loved the video!
Thank you so much!!
Had to switch from my phone to computer to watch this one. As usual good work man!
Legend!! Thanks alot man
@@Charo.mp4 no problem! Looking forward to the next one.
Any day that a new Charo video comes out is a good day. I was particularly excited to see you were covering this one though. Having gone down the ergo rabbit hole out of necessity due to carpel tunnel and other RSI, I am glad that there is a more mainstream budget offering for those that can't commit to a split ergo. I can't justify buying it myself so I will just live vicariously through those that do and watch from afar while typing on my little 36 key split. lol Thanks for another awesome video with a little history lesson at the start, those are my favorite.
Wow, thanks so much for the kind words - I really appreciate it!
great editing, i always like the history portion in beginning of video. will be picking one up. the hardest part is decision paralysis with the configurator
I hear you, thanks so much!
Yeah, definitely gonna be covering the led’s at the key splits
I also don’t know how I’m going to feel about the LEDs. Personally I think it takes away from the premium look. But black tape to cover them? Can’t you just turn them off in via?
He means the physical LEDs not the light they give off
As above you can still see the physical LEDs! Owlab had a nice sticker to cover the gaps on the Spring so ideally want to do something similar
i wonder when and if we will se an 1800 frl layout with no separated arrow cluster like an wind x made by QwertyKeys/Neo, basing on NeoErgo this keyboard would be rly intresting, deffo would buy one
he's back ‼‼
I have the same color coming, either going to put GMK Botanical 2 or Osume Matcha, probably used Baby Ks but might go with my standard WS Heavy Tactiles depending on the sound. Yours sounds great!
can you not disable the leds in via? also what foams were in your sound test?
you can - or just use fn+z
what do you think should i choose between these two, zoom 65 v3 or krush 65? both have their pros and cons like the aesthetics on krush but zoom 65 has more mounting options than any keyboard i know right now
krush65 is so much better than zoom65v3 in every way unless you NEED wireless, 2 great mounting styles > 8 mid mounting styles
I have heard alot of good things about the krush65!
do you think the wrist rest is necessary?
For me personally, I much prefer it but definitely isn't necessary - I do like my front heights low though!
0:29 Before I saw this video, I just happened to see a patent from 1964 (IBM British Patent 1,016,993) for a keyboard with pretty much all of the ergonomic features: dactyl-like keywells, tenting, columnar stagger and splay, and a split design.
forgive me, but I’m mostly distracted by how great those Gateron Type S switches sounded in this build (and I think at least one other build you’ve featured)! Up for sharing your thoughts on those switches vs. a common reference point (say MX blacks maybe)? Really enjoyed the content and historical background!!
I have a soft spot for good Gateron switches - definitely one to try if you like a slightly higher pitched sounding switch! They come pre-lubed but my batch definitely had some switches that required a bit of TLC to get them perfect
@@Charo.mp4awesome, thank you very much! I pretty much spring swap / hand lube all my switches since I’m picky about spring weight. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Have had my fair share of gateron switches through the years (KS-3 yellows, box black ink, cream sodas, and CJs), and liked all of them except the box black inks (too muted for my taste).
Is this the green or the avocado color?
I do remember wrote a comment on this video but where is it, did you or TH-cam delete it ?
that’s very strange! do you mind writing it again? I haven’t deleted it so not too sure
@@Charo.mp4 yep, the comment was about me asking you to make video about Moogle bottom row profile (1 x 6,25 u + 7 x 1.25 u), like the history of it
While i don't really think alice layout is ergonomic for me. It's really amazing twist to alice layout (mounting, led, etc) it'll be intresting if neo go for othet layout. Maybe true split keyboard but still stagered. Who knows. But good video
For sure, thanks alot!
what batteries does it use?
The up arrow to the left of the right shift is no bueno
I think you have to install those dissfuser under the plate, not on top of them …
thank you - yes the documentation has been made clearer since I built this up I believe!
Yooooo neo!
It’s interesting to see the hate for those LED’s in the middle. The Matrix Faukwa had the same thing and for the most part it looked like people didn’t mind or even liked their implementation of it. It’s tasteful if you use it with the right colors I think? But I guess ya can’t win everyone over.
I agree, I think it can definitely be utilised tastefully - but as you say I guess it all comes down to preference!
10/10
Is it VIA compatible??
Only wired version, wireless pcb uses proprietary software
Dam i was thinking about buying it but that led diffuser between the keys is extremely ugly ngl 💔
You can always cover it up but then again, as said in the vid, wish neo provided some sort of rubber cover for those who don't wanna put in the diffusers.
My goodness... why did they insist on unnecessarily occupying space with LEDs? This board, by all accounts, would've been a must-have. But, I'll admit -- the LEDs have put a damper on that for me.
Yknow what, I LOVE those in-board lights. I think they’re novel and cool looking
:keksmile:
@@mjpty :stab:
I was reading the comments about the LED being ugly, and I was thinking to myself that the little 3 dots on the left corner were a nice tasteful touch. Then I went back and saw the LEDs inside the 'alice gap'; what were they thinking? Hideous.
There's an off button
