The New Standard for Budget Keyboards? | NEO65

DISCLAIMER: This board was sent over by Qwertykeys for the purpose of todays video, but all thoughts are my own, and they are seeing the video at the same time you are. Big thanks to Qwertykeys for the opportunity to check out the board!
Having a look today at one of the hottest new budget options in mechanical keyboards, the neo65 by qwertykeys, as well as the neo white switches which come pre-lubed and sound pretty damn clacky out the box. The board is hotswap, wireless compatible and utilises both gasket mount and o-ring mounting for only 80 dollars at a minimum. WILD.
Check out the board here: www.qwertykeys.com/products/n...
Worth noting regarding NEO collaboration with Qwertykeys: NEO is a subsidiary of Qwertykeys, while Cub65 and QK65 Stone Age are special collaborations.
Second PSA: Owlab have been around since 2020, ignore the reference to 2021 x

It's so interesting seeing the evolution of the budget market since the qk65 was released

[@raytruong1420]

Hobby has truly come a long way, I remember when the NK65 EE first came out and that was considered one of the best budget boards at the time. It also went OOS in like 5 minutes for the first drop 😅

[@Snafu_]

I've been on the lookout for an alice layout keyboard for a while as I've yet to add one to my collection... I think the Neo is going to be the one! Another great video man, one of the very select few youtubers I hit the alarm bell for

[@Charo.mp4]

For sure, it’s looking to be a nice one! Thanks so much, genuinely means a lot!!

[@hrolvnir]

i love what neo/qk/owlabs has been doing. best thing we can have for the future of the hobby

[@notjefflee]

I appreciate how you include historical context and comparisons to other boards/companies in your video. It makes your reviews much more interesting and informative as someone who is pretty casual to the hobby

[@Charo.mp4]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@ImOnMy116]

really enjoyed your take on this! I have both a bakeneko 60 and 65, the 65 definitely feels stiffer, I think it’s that blocker that’s really doing the o ring a disservice. That said, happy to see Neo designing around this and offering gummy o ring in the first place. I really hope to see more gummy o ring boards available in the future. I’d love a gummy o ring mounted 75 that’s in between the freebird and Tomo.

[@Charo.mp4]

Definitely agree with this!

[@tweetrey5737]

Love all you keyboard video man

[@Charo.mp4]

Thank you!!

[@szagii_9447]

deep dive in the budget switches(both tactile and linear) would be nice

[@reyhanpradantyo]

Still waiting for updates for mine (bought through ashkeeb), and these video reviews of this board is what keeps me alive welp

[@jammies701]

Nice vid mate, always bangers, love the history-keeping
One note is your audio is always kind of quiet. Often can't hear even on max if a fan is on or something

[@Charo.mp4]

Thank you! Ah got you, will keep that in mind for future, cheers!

[@albertko1]

I got a red with copper weight FR4 plate and put Pyga on it with KTT Darlings. Perfect clacky board for me... I'm so tempted to keep it though it was meant to be a Christmas gift.

[@zekedgtl]

I freakin love this board :)

[@Randomlosername]

The 50 Duro Gummy is def a lot stiffer than the gaskets, but I bought a 30 Duro as an extra and I think that it strikes the perfect balance between having bounce and flex during typing and a pretty good sound. Really enjoy this video!

[@Charo.mp4]

Thanks so much! Will have to try the 30 duro!

[@impointr]

I'm really amazed that this keyboard can be used plateless. Hearing how it sounds from other creators, I'm increasingly tempted to grab one...

[@andyderp6473]

QK75n review soonTM?

[@Redino20]

Would you make a review for the cycle7? :)

[@haybail7618]

I think it would be cool if you also did a cycle7 video when people get hold of the international units

[@Charo.mp4]

For sure!

[@shylocutus]

have mine with bsun bcps and cf plate, no foams and its a certified slapper

[@Charo.mp4]

Still need to try the bcps, heard very good things!

[@DamegedShadown]

What keycap set is this?

[@TrevorBronowicki]

I think it's GMK Red Alert Base kit + OG Numbers

[@psychedGROM-hu5jl]

will it work on Mac

[@Charo.mp4]

You shouldn’t have a problem with Mac compatibility!
