  • So I borrowed my friend's Sugar 65 to build for this video and I wasn't expecting the end results to be this good. For around $30, you're getting a alu keyboard with alot of features that you would typically see in higher end boards like an FR4 Plate and an engraving of the brand at the back of the case. Unfortunately, one of the dealbreakers is that there is no support for PCB-Mounted stabilizers so you can only use plate-mount stabilizers. The factory lube for the stabilizers was pretty good but I still retuned the spacebar stabs as there was some rattle. It was fun building this keyboard and I hope I can try out other different configurations that this keyboard has to offer.

    31/5/2024: Hi everyone!! To compensate my absence from TH-cam for 3 months, I decided to make a quick sound test of the latest configuration of this keyboard as it will be featured in an upcoming review. Thank for your overwhelming support and enjoy the new sound test!

    Okay this is absolutely insane, been in this hobby for years now and left it for a while because everything at the high end got kinda repeated at one point but damn dude look what a turn the budget keyboard market has taken. Back in the day it was hard to get a budget keyboard for around $100 now we got full alu keebs at that range. Absolutely insane, i love how things are going now

    my dream budget board for real! Great build, love the piano cs for such a budget-y price. Love this haha!

    yes i'm being serious, its actually $30 from Taobao
    Some clarifications:
    -The Piano Pros are long poles so they sound pretty high picthed in this build.
    -the kit is $30 excluding shipping. They'll vary based on where you live but in my case it was another 3 USD .
    - This is my first time showcasing a build on camera for a video so I apologize if I go off-angle as I didn't refer to my camera monitor all the time. I have done two other builds on stream before but it was on a fixed angle so everything went well. Let me know what you guys think of the production quality, cuz I want to improve the quality as best as possible.
    - The video noise increased due to the colour correction, I'll try to improve it for the next video.
    Also, thank you all for 500 subs! I am hoping to publish an additional 2 videos to wrap up 2023. With that said, thanks and have a great day!

      I'm debating between 3 barebones kits in my area (all priced the same). gmk67, sugar65, akko 5075s, which one of these do you think is the best barebones kit?

    • @RadeleonOS
      @RadeleonOS ปีที่แล้ว

      @@toad7395 AKKO 5075S if you want a 75% keyboard. I would say Sugar65 is better than GMK67. So it's between the Sugar65 or Akko 5075S.

      ​ @MotherBored unfortunately that's the truth for comments from the audience. You can look it up on Taobao which is where my friend got it from.
