Great review and thoughts, I pretty much agree entirely. I think for what Neo is setting out to do, it knows its place in the market. The anodized baby blue is really gorgeous though, I really love the colour and case feel. ☺

Really appreciate the honesty on the final price that you have to pay to have the board in your hands

This was almost an insta buy for me. There are so few iso tkl's and especially hotswap versions. Got me a champagne one with a stone washed silver weight. Pretty excited for it

2:43 - I always struggled sometimes to determine what's "lacking" from the entry level kits versus something like an F1 or a Kage TKL, and you just described it perfectly. Decent sound profile, Clacky, but flat and dull. Somehow they do lack the brighter or lively sound that higher ends possibly can recreate. Neo80 is a great choice for the price nonetheless!

Im guess this alao supports VIA/QMK with a trimode PCB? That's one of the biggest selling points for me personally with the Neo boards. I love the Neo65 single piece, with VIA, and trimode connectivity. Honestly my favorite board.

You can tighten the ball latch system with screws iirc

Yeah, just thinking from the standpoint of someone who doesn’t want to whip out tools 🤷‍♂️ would have been nicer to have them be a bit more snug to begin with

Would you think you could get this sounding like 2 billiard balls knocking together? Whichsetup is closest to that?

@iantune 7 ай бұрын

you can actually tighten the ball latch using a screw

@TofuTypes 7 ай бұрын

Yeah you can, just from the perspective of someone who’s coming and wanting something to go without taking a tool, just would have been nicer if it was a big snug

@shiori8969 7 ай бұрын

To be honest, no one would treat their keyboard like this in real life. The drop test is more about letting others know that they can find the appropriate strength by loosening and tightening the screws.

👀👍! i think this would be great as a gift, but the ball latch system is still kinda sketch, since we don't really know how well it would stand up against the test of time in comparison to just plain old screws

How does the sound on this board compare to the TKD Cycle7? I missed out on the cycle7 and this seems to be the perfect alternative to that with the same ball catch system which I really want.

$38 US shipping so realistically starts at ~$180 Good value still, but with just OK sound it’s a tougher sell vs upcoming Cycle 8 or recent Luminkey80, KBD 8X, etc And no F13 😢 Great review as always!

I’m down with the simple aesthetic, bummer about the seemingly mediocre ball latch system! Still for the price, it’s hard to complain too much. What’s the recipe for your shoko frankenswitches?
