Taobao has their own shipping service so it can ship to the US now for people wondering
OH WHAT
to europe aswell or just US?
@@dropiix9834 Pretty sure they can ship to Europe too
@@neil5679 Superbuy
@@neil5679 It’s just a right click away from translating, don’t be lazy.
The Reason I loved this kit is due to the fact that it is super easy build, Ticks a lot of top tier features and most importantly it sounds good ! Good option for newbies into the hobby.
exactly
Sadly it is not wireless like the tester 68
@@Hi-qk9fj To be fair I don't mind. Yes wireless connectivity is a plus in my eyes but for most, this could be the ideal starter kit.
@babybot thanks
@@Hi-qk9fj Funny enough some people deem the wireless nature of tester 68 a 'con' lol, and asked for wires instead
I think u should carry on doing the more budget builds from taobao because ppl in UK and US can usually get whatever kit u get from aliexpress anyways
truee
However, there's a huge caveat in your logic. CIY GAS 67 on aliexpress is $20 more, and like 80% of the time the kits aren't even there. The CIY GAS 67, after rummaging around for an hour, was $48.49, which was the absolute cheapest which I could find.
A good way to fix interference in boards is to fit a small piece of paper into the row which has interference in the stem of the keycap. This prevents the interference.
but the amount of paper you put in there will vary so all the keycaps will be a slightly different height
@@_origami_ i usually just put one layer of paper in there so it's good, normally it's just a small square of it
@@_origami_ or you can measure the amount of paper by the size
One layer normally does it right? And does it work with any switch
@@QuickE23 one layer does the job well, and it works for pretty much any switch I think
i love that you put your most expensive switches on a $30 kit. Chaotic Lewis
xd
Hey Lewis,
You should consider doing manual focus when filming yourself- the autofocus is on the microphone in front of you
With manual you won't need to worry about not being in focus since you do it right one time and it stays that way :)
ah yes
I was waiting for this. I bet the keycaps cost more than the keeb itself lol
2 seconds ago lol
probably does
No its doudle cuz they are 59.99
Iits very cool to see the ciy gas67 in drop, it deserves more recognition
yes
Nice, I love the way it sounds. Thanks for this awesome find.
thanks!
Finally somebody is actually going to review the gas67. Thank u so much bro
appreciate the support
i do office work where i use different softwares and having the physical function keys row is crucial, i really wish there's a 75% layout version of this keyboard
Second setup is top stuff, well done. Nice to see more decent budget options
for the budget the sound is really good
right
Lewis Toenail, I am the guy who commented a while back asking for your blessing to prevent rain from coming when I went to Luna Park. Now I am going to MovieWorld tomorrow and I really want your blessing to prevent rain.
i hope there is no rain!
Tyttytty it worked there was no rain
Funny thing is this keyboard was on sale 2 to 3 months ago and only now it starts to gain recognition
ikr, wanted to get it for so long but didn't have access to taobao
Heard Box Inks doesn't have interferance with cherry profile switches so it could be a good alternative premium linear switch for north facing boards.
CJ and Oil Kings also don't have interference since they all use gateron's new top housing molds.
I just bought my first kit! Came across your channel ☺️ thanks! Great videos for beginners
nice! glad to hear it helped
I’m actually in China and ur Taobao budget board videos helped a lot lol
nice
Ciy Gas 67 ..lets goo
yesss
you can still use oil kings with cherry profile caps because of a little notch on the top housing of almost all gateron switches
will try cherry profile
I like the lighting in this video, very cozy
nice
pretty sure gateron oil kings have a housing that prevents cherry profile interference so u could have still used sum cherry keycaps
That sounds amazing tho!
this kit is so easy to build with the graphics on the instruction manual. and with that budget you can get a poron gasket.
yes!!!
LETS GOO MORE BUDGET BUILDS
LETS GOO
the only problem about this build is the north facing leds
but holy, for 30 dollars!?
yes thats why asa profiled keycaps
yes, it's the ciy gas 67!!😍
yes!
I hope this blows up because there's a fix to this north-facing PCB, and it's not changing your switches or keycaps
Parallel, 65% PCB, is south facing PCB, which is compatible with this
No, this is not an advertisement
more budget boards yaesssss!
yesss
BRING BACK ODD SWITCHH
no........
@@LewisToh why not tho...
plsssss, bring it back
Actually if Gateron oil kings is used, u don’t have to worry about the interference because oil kings are long pole switches
Err what? Since when Oil Kings are long poles?
CIY Gas67 with Akko keycaps. Nice Combo Indeed. A budget KBD67 Lite killer Though!
oo wait till u hear it
@@LewisToh waiting for the premiere
As soon as a TH-camr says "new budget board" the price skyrockets
Dude I wish keyboard parts weren’t so expensive in the UK. Even a cheap switch would be almost double the price compared to US
just did a build myself with the black and gold keycaps! I love them so much :)
nicee
Any reason you installed the gaskets on the plate instead of the top and bottom case?
no reason, just prefer that
What kind of foam did you use and where can I get them? Thanks mate!
you shld try out aflion blue sky ktechs selling rn its prelubed linear switch 90 cents per switch.
Great review, Do you know the shortcut of how to change the Profiles on this CIY GAS67 ?
Does it have any cherry profile interference?
yes
lesgooo more budget builds screw taobao haters
yes
Was this the board used for the titan heart switch short cause of yeah god damn that thock
yes but i didnt use it in this video
oddly enough Oil Kings top housing is a slightly different shape and does not have north facing interference
oh i'll give cherry profile a shot
i wonder if 3 pin switches can fit this board? i was thinking of getting momoka frogs and thinking if it fits the gas68.
it will!
Is the keys and layer remappable on this board?
My problem is that I need a keyboard that is iso layout because I'm from Sweden, so if a get any iso profile board and put on some Swedish keycaps it works normal. But I have trouble finding a good sounding keyboard that is iso
your best bet would be kbd67 lite
Hi great video, do jwick black v2s have long poles? I just need to know which switch to get. thanks
When I first started looking at mechanical boards a few years ago, most of the cheap ones were absolute trash. There were no hot swap options, they came with the cheapest possible switches (quality wise, not just price, just not good), and modding them was not much of an option for most people. Now, man, there are so many options out there. Either kits for $50 or less, or even just easy to mod, hot swap, full built boards can be found for as little as like $25 bucks these days. Sure, you're going to spend more if you want different switches, do some mods, etc, but even stock, many of them come with decent switches and even have several options to choose from, so you can at least get started with a set of switches you probably won't hate, so you have time to save up before you try and change things up a bit.
Do u have recomendation for budget barebone or full 65%? Under or 100$
Hi, I am having trouble choosing between this and GMK67. Do you have a review of that keyboard? Or, can I request that you review it. Thanks!!!
DAMN the value for money is insane
yessu
What switch did you use for the modded sound test? And what’s mods were applied?
I'm just starting to learn about building keyboards. What kind of foam did he use and where can I get it?
Very thocky. Nice vid!
thanks!
@@LewisToh but why do I feel like this is thockier than your thocky keyboard video
are you planning to do a video on the qk65 anytime soon??
nope
This board seems to be so good. Would've loved to get it, but unfortunately it ain't Bluetooth/wireless compatible
The sound brooooooo sheeshhh
same
Didn't Gateron change the housing shape of the Oil Kings to avoid the interference?
yeah figured that out later
Like your low budge takes. As a fellow asian who no longer is based in the US I'd like to pull budget parts from Taobao.
Can I ask where are you based? How easy / difficult is it for you to order/ get stuff from Taobao?
My gas67 doesn't close properly, like the case doesn't wanna stay in fully but I can force it in and just plug in the wire. Is that normal because of the mount or is something wrong with my one?
I think oil-kings avoid interference (they have the new gateron molds), you should test this out
I thought the oil kings were molded to counter interference?
Also would the long pole stem of switches like akko cs negate it too?
Which mods were used for the marbly sound? I love that sound.
probably that pe foam sheet i left in
The thumbnail actually looks sick tho
thanks g
For the stabs did you just use krytox 205g0 or did you use dialectic grease on the wires or anything?
just good ol krytox
Someone in the comments probably: “If 30 dollars is budget I’m officially broke.”
Hey Lewis,
What kind of foam material did you use in this video? And thickness too. I really like this sound signature and I really want to recreate your build
Lewis, how does it compare to Akko ACR67?
Im thinking either going acrylic or going with flexy gasket
i prefer flexy gasket cause stacked acrylic produces a weird sound profile im not a huge fan of
I haven't seen too many reviews on this board, but an issue I had with mine was that the switches would never properly go in the pcb and the stabilizers, especially the backspace didn't spring back up. Is there a fix that you know?
Omg so many videos the best keyboard channel I ever seen
thanks man
there are no interference when im using Akko cs silver pom switch, but yeah maybe different keycaps brand has interference but at least mine is not
what are different profile keycaps instead of cherry, because all i find are cherry profile.
xda, mda, sa, dsa, osa, asa
That sounds very…. Thonk ⌨️
ayy
Hey what was the background music that you used
if money ain't really a problem do you think the kbd67lite is worth the premium over this?
Did you pay the full shipping for the keycaps? It's pretty expensive for shipping to sg
if ure from sg, u should order from shopee or taobao, akko has vendors that sell them
I actually moaned out loud when I heard it type…
HAHAHAHAHA WHAT
@@LewisToh 😂
Mine is on the way
The specs are
Black CIY GAS67 30$
Akko radiant reds (lubed) 16$ (90)
GMK Fleuriste clones 25$
nice
where do u get lubed radiant reds for that cheap
Wow this board is nice! Also, I thought oil kings don’t have interference because they changed the mould of the top housing 😳
not too sure
@@LewisToh wow! Good to know!
I also saw this in a video about gat oil kings, can't remember where though.
oil kings sound soooooooo good
yess
Which budget keyboard do you like the best out of all the ones you have reviewed?
What pegboard do you have in the background holding your keyboards?
ikea skadis
What is this wizardry? Excellent find on this budget board. Sound doesn't sound budget.
rightt???
I built my keyboard when tofu was the only affordable option. do you think this would be a step up, even beeing that much cheaper?
No, the build quality we'll be far apart since the tufo is a nice peice of aluminum and this is cheap plastic,
If you haven't yet just o ring mount your tofu.
yeah i would get this as a for fun kinda thing, like just to play around with
just wanna ask if there would be any interferences with cherry keycaps?
there actually is
Does this kit support MacOS?
Warning: Do not put too much foam in the case since the case is made of acrylics. When I got my kit all the screws stripped the inside of the case and it wouldnt screw in.
does removing the silicone dampener actually give the keyboard more thocc? :0
According to Keybored, yes. You would want no plate dampener and thin case foam. Because thinner foams absorb high-pitch sound more than low-pitch ones, the lower sound gets amplified relatively.
Just curious how heavy is the whole build?
Yoooo the gas67!!!
yessss
I am just curious why most keyboard youtubers use linear switches more often that tactile switches for their builds
bc people like them more
Sheesh it actually really good ...I mean as for me not a keyboard builder I using a cheap keyboard(around 2usd) for long time so this cheap as a kind of brilliant in my way .
Me: no way this sounds good stock
also me: :O wow
really nice! The man did it again!
i was just as shocked
the feker ik75 costs like 54$ in my country and the ciy gas67 is like 50$ here, which one is better?
idk actually, knob or nah
i was waiting for this one because i am going to buy it but nowere online is a real proper review
iam sure you do a great job in reviewing .
i hope so xd
Planning to get this. Does this have a 1000hz polling rate? I would love to use this for rhythm games like osu. Great review btw!!
hi can i get some recommendations for cheaper sgd priced asa profile keycaps? currently starting to get interested in building a keyboard but dont wanna spend too much on my first keyboard. therefore possible if you can give me some cheap sgd priced asa profile keycaps?
my mouth dropped in the stock test lmao
i was just as shocked
can you review prevail epsilon switches?
Any recommendation for 40 % under 150$?
