Why on earth would they call a 75% keyboard the 65??!! My first instinct, too. Well said, Frank.

@matthiasweninger6205 3 ай бұрын

that makes perfect sense....its the 65 series....if you call it 75 what would you call the next version? ...graphics cards also have a series and different "sizes" (e.g. 4050, 4060, 4070)

I used Corsair for so many years and we have an Azoth that is great, especially with WS Morandi in it but this is all plastic at $159. While it's not out yet the new Lemokey P1 is going to be all AL at $99. From what I can tell it looks like a Q1 Max but with Cherry Caps and it's supposed to have enhanced acoustics (possibly the foam from the Keychron Acoustic upgrade kit?). Obviously they are going to have to cut costs somewhere but it's definitely an interesting proposition. After purchasing Drop I would have hoped for more custom integration sooner but it least they are on their way! Some DCX caps on this board would probably make a big sound difference as well.

So how does the keyboard function when wired. I prefer wired keyboards. I tried their k70 mini wireless but it had to be switched on/off even when used wired. I would like this keyboard but only if when wired it won’t have to be manually turned on and off. Would love thought if they release a wooting clone in this layout though.

@ucpmod 3 ай бұрын

I have gotten into the custom keyboard scene for the past year and have built a few 65%, 75%, and 96% keyboards. Because of that, I stopped paying attention to what companies like Corsair were bringing out. They all seemed like ¨cookie cutter¨ gaming keyboards. It´s nice to see that custom keyboards have actually influenced the big gaming keyboard companies to up their game a bit. I just might get the K65 and try different builds on it. I do have to say that I am surprised that since they kept the north facing LEDs, that they didn´t use shine through keycaps.

I haven't had a single issue with the wireless connection, and the battery life is good enough. My only gripe about the keyboard is the keycaps. I'll be replacing these with pudding keycaps because at night, you can't really read the legend on them since they're not shine-through. But other than that, it's a great no bs keyboard!
