cycle8 has much smaller quick-release mechanism allow the board to be thinner around the edges. I love how it sounds and the new anodized color it offers. Interesting TKL worth checking out.
@@sorryfoo oh no not again. I just saw a post as well saying TKD is looking for new manufacturer of their new design pcb with better ESD protection for their Cycle7.
They haven't release any info regarding the international group buy i think, only GB prices&shipping so everything on youtube by far is from CN GB Edit: Haven't seen any info on the GB in VN nor from Clickclack
The thing I'm wondering for a while is, can you really feel the difference between screw-in stabilizers and plate mounted stabilizers or are they so good these days that it is purely psychological? :)
it is more about the convenience of installation and reliability. Plate mounted ones are usually easy to install but requires more precisely cutted plates. Plate stabilizers do not have a common dimension which also cause problems when using universal plates.
@@drheystudio Great info to gobble up, thanks for your reply! :) I think I stick to plate mounted unless the wobbliness is feelable. It's so easy to remove and (re)tune.
This will be selling like hot cakes again. Dang! such a good time being in a hobby right now.
Masterpiece editing, Love it
Thank man!
Hopefully this one doesn’t have pcb issue. Here in my community TKD now means The Keyboard Defective.
Was reading a thread yesterday about how the Chinese group buy for this went and issues/complaints surrounding it. Doesn't sound good

my PCB has issues too. i just got my pcb replacement last week.
Dang. Should I even consider buying this now? 😢
Was this unit from the Chinese group buy?

yep. TKD tells me that International sample units are being sent out. GB is very close.
@@drheystudio that’s good to know!
what's the best color of cycle 8, peacock or aloe?

@@AquaPeet no problem. It is cheaper too. Try Jwick plate mounted stabilizer. IT is a godsend.
That's the sunset gleam switch, right?
yes you are right. did not notice they changed the name...
Hi, which battery cover are you using? Alu or Brass?
aluminum.
Is it safe to say it's the best sub 200$ tkl keeb yet?
Have not tried them all so I would not swear by it. It is definitely worth its price.
should I use FR4 or aluminium for clack build bro?
For clack, Aluminum plate for sure
ooh this in a 75 layout would be sick
TKD did unveil a prototype 75% they've been working on as their next project
@@GSixFiveFourThreeFourDashTwo good to know
Hope they do a 65
angle65 they did
eventually yeah next one might be Alice
Nope,a top structure 75%, showed two months ago and a 104 jointly-designed
@@PljIo-fu5bj you are right, yes. Totally forgot these two are not released yet.
