@Kokos_Gadgets how did you get the pcb out of the stock case? was the usb side hard to get out? also does your usb port feel loose where it disconnects with the slightest touch or is that just my unit
@@BeSly23 There is 8 screws that holds the pcb, after that turn the whole thing upside down and it should drop out from the case, or you can try to help to pull out with your hands located from the bottom where near the spacebar is.
Hi, I just came to ask, have you seen the VGN A75 keyboard? It's from the same people behind ATK68, and I'm wondering if you're planning to cover that keyboard (the VGN A75)
@@oIivears Sorry but I dont have plans for getting an atk/vgn board. It seems, for now, their products fall behind of performance quite a lot especially if we mention their latest top tier atk rs7 compare to other rapid trigger keyboards.

@@oIivears Haven't experienced much good between this price range so maybe the best is for you to get what youre really likes. The irok na87 pro (65~85$ range) seems promising to me but dont know if is their any major qc improvements over the irok nd75(those ones had random trigger issues for some of users).
Koko mate, needs your advice on how to remove the board from the plastic case as it is too tight on the left side near the usb C port, too scarfed to pull it by force as it might break the usb port. Really appreciate if u can advise it on details where to begin first adter all of the 6 screws had been removed. Just finished build the Neo Ergo,,,,and need to settle this asap,,,TQ
@@xynewave Yes, you can use it. The hm keycaps are cherry profile tho. Mine uses a quite rare profile and it was no problem to use it as well, so I think any keycap is compatible with.
@@Kokos_Gadgets why not ... is it because the depth of tofu case is smaller than the original case.....as I;m trying different case than tofu as I already using the tofu for my wooting
I just received this keyboard and had configured the SOCD but I wonder why did u use the Cover function for the SOCD. Do I need to bind those SOCD keys with the cover function. I'm planning to mod to new aluminium base too, and any particular thing should I take into consideration during the mod. TQ
Dont use the socd here, it works differently in this keyboard. It only applies on the bottoming out, but the cover function prioritizes the last input no matter how much you pressed down the key. Well on modding you are kinda limited on filling the case since the pcb is sensitive to any pressure you dont wanna fill it too much or otherwise you can have some weird behavior when pressing the keys.
Really appreciate for your quick reply. Should I u group those SOCD keys and start using the cover function. Any guide how should I do about it especially for the WASD keys
"Press" is the key you pressing and the "clear" you wanna choose the opposite direction of the movement. So for an example "A" is have to be selected on clear as "D", and on "W" you have to select the clear as "S" and vice versa. A-D, D-A, W-S, S-W
@@Ninja-qi5td the wooting 60he getting far behind in terms of performance compare to this board. The hm66 has much less deadzone, better accuracy, less latency, and 8k polling. But it doesnt have macro section and web based software. It have both the rappy snappy and socd just with different names. Wooting rappy snappy --> socd function Wooting socd --> cover function
Was very easy to install, fits perfectly in the case, however there is now less screw that holds the pcb in place so its not as "secure"(I mean it flexes a bit more) than what the old case have(there was 8 screws now it only has 6). And I know people like when the whole keyboard moves a bit down for a better typing experience but in here dealing with the magnetic attractions Im not sure.
@@Silen5er Nothing really, just sharing my thoughts what Im experiencing with this case. But If the pcb still moves down quite a bit after the tofu installation you can always fill with something the case to make it more rigid but not too much!
@@djemmittslowfpv7099 it looks nice, software remind me of the raven68, but this one has better build quality and might be better for future updates. pcb very likely the same for both.

just turn it upside down and make sure you hold with your hands when the pcb drop out from the case, thats how I did it
but what, there is 8 screws on the stock board you need to remove, not 6, six is on tofu case that is have

The so call QC pass label..lol

Hello. I have a sikakeyb castle hm66 keyboard. Can I remove only the plastic case of this keyboard and install all the parts on tofu60?
Yes, you can put everything into the tofu case except the silicone bottom pad

And I recommend to get some ixpe switch pads, it helps to stabilize the switches in the plate(less switch fluctuation)

@@Silen5er Just dont apply the socd. It overrides the cover functionality and it will be not as good. Copy paste the way that mine was on the screen.
