this is why the bakeneko is actually 90% of a unikorn

The first thing in his video is ofcourse he explained he was not holding a yellow tofu

[@oImagine]

Banger video once again, I've actually tried something interesting. I used a Unikorn R2.2 pcb assembly with vintage blacks on alu and popped that assembly into the bakeneko. The sound was I'd say up to 90% the same with a slightly weaker spacebar and mods. But I think for someone who hasn't tried a Unikorn or aren't able to experience one, this is as close as you'd get. I'm assuming that the H60 pcb and an alu plate will help A LOT for the bakeneko rather than the stock plates. Also solder PCB will sound fuller than hotswap from my experience. Therefore, I reckon that the main issue for the bakeneko isn't the case difference, it's the PCB assembly that's bringing it down, Unikorn with MX Blacks on FR4 slaps so hard but just doesn't seem to slap as hard in the bakeneko too so.. Oh and one last thing, graveshift grey oring (medium) 70A iirc, makes the board more lively in terms of sound when compared to the stock oring.

I really like the fact Andy is trying to help people get the Unikorn experience without breaking the bank. Most Unikorn owners would not compare it to something as cheap as Bakeneko to validate their purchase. Big kudos to you my man.

[@hypekeyboards]

Thanks for the shoutout. I’m actually a big fan so I really appreciate it coming from you. Keep up the good work btw! ❤

[@veritas9664]

how do i make my ciel60 spacebar sound louder/poppier? my ciel spacebar isn't the greatest i know , but is there anything i can do to make it louder?

[@nguyenphu3416]

some one plssss give me the link of "shelf liner" cause i dont think i know exactly the material of that one :((((

[@Clau5380]

Had a neko for a long time now. I must say, this is one of the best sounding boards I’ve ever owned. Really a banger board up to this day!!

[@wandervibe]

would be interesting if you can compare the Tofu FA since it's a o-ring mount Tofu and been hearing great things about it.

[@dannyman5751]

Can you do a comparison between the Neo65 and bakeneko? I don’t really know the differences between all these budget aluminum 65% kits

[@whnkeys-soundtests1424]

A friend of me ran a GB for a stainless steel version of the Halineko. That thing is real dope.

[@RiaN47]

Hey Andy! What shelf liner did you use?

[@ROEVVVAN]

Weird question Andy, where can I buy those cardboard you put in unikorn

[@coleydotmp4]

the bakeneko is a classic and i always go back to my 65. Haven't tried that layer of tape yet, might need to pull this apart and give it a fresh update. RN i have voyagers in there but I see a few comments here talking about hyperglide blacks. Just did a spring swap of my set so i think its time to make some updates.

[@zaphyy]

Had a Bakeneko when I first got into the hobby and loved it alot. Definitely agree with switching to a 7u layout. Not a fan of the stock FR4 plate but once you have any other kind of plate it sounds miles better

[@Nateabolic]

This was my 3rd keyboard build into the hobby & it’s my main one still, I love it & I also got the CNC one

[@livelaughlucass]

3 vids in a row js crazy i’m feeling so blessed right now

[@M0rg3nT]

Bakeneko still budget goat after all these years

[@user-kg6uj6ji5p]

What u think of custom bakeneko vs unikorn ?

[@moomz6388]

Hello andy, what pcb did u used on the bakeneko?
