So... KBDfans launched a new TKL called the Tiger 80. I initially thought it might be a new KBD8X... well it's not. It's an entry level board that brings nice gasket socks and included mods into a fantastic package. The Tiger 80 Aluminum is $225, while the LITE will be around $125 I'm told. At that price... Not sure there is anything better!

Your videos are always very informative and to the point. I don't even plan on buying any new keyboards for now, but I always end up coming back to your videos just to see what's new in the space, simply because your videos are just that well made. On another note, from what I can see, your force-break/keybored mod seems to be working it's genius on a bunch of different keyboards. It's the simple but ingenious stuff like that pulled me into this hobby in the first place, and you seem to always find new ways to innovate the modding space. Thank you for all of the videos and I hope you get more attention for your amazing work for this community.

I personally preferred the sound signature of the Lite, though I will say that with both boards the spacebar is unpleasant for some reason, not as bad with the Lite but still not a great sound. I am considering picking up a lite just to try a keyboard that is that flexible. I love my heavily modded GMMK pro, but this keyboard is intriguing and at a good price point to play with. Thank you for the great video.

How does a long pole stem switch affect sound on a keyboard?

@Keybored 2 жыл бұрын

It bottoms out on a smaller surface, which concentrates the force and sound down the center. A standard switch will bottom out against 2 surfaces, effectively spreading out the force around the housing. Generally this creates a more "muted" sound. It's like this... if you took a metal pole and poked someone with it, it'll be unpleasant. If you took a metal pole and shaved it down into a point and stabbed someone with it, that person will take on much more harm

Hey Scott, have you considered taking a look at the CIY GAS67? I’ve heard a lot of good things about it and it’s definitely at a budget that would be interesting to watch.

You know, you're the second person in this video comments that mentioned that. I'll definitely have to look that keyboard up!

If I end up getting this board, I will HAVE to go with Gateron Oil Kings with Oil King review screen grab tape mod. 5:00 is that a typo on the PCB I see?

It's funny, they use "X" instead of "U" for all of them. 1X, 2.75X, 2.25X, etc. Not sure why

I know that the form factor isn't the same but how does it compare to the qk65

@Keybored 2 жыл бұрын

QK65 I still feel belongs in a slightly different league. The flex, sound, etc. all comparable, but the case construction of the QK65 seriously is not a sub $200 board... it's just built way too well to be "entry."
