honestly I was a longtime holdout and cherry agnostic, but ended up buying a feng break in machine and have sent a few batches of blacks and a batch of browns through, and I have been converted. When not overlubed, there is something special about the cherry sound. I don’t think it’s worth it for the overwhelming majority of folks in the hobby, and even broken in, they’re still scratchier than most any other switch I’ve used, but I dig them a lot!

It's impossible to argue for value, because that's not even a talking point when it comes to boards like this. I see it as a "super enthusiast" product. Marketed towards those that only stick to a select number of brands or are just looking to blow their money on the most expensive thing they can get their hands on.

Yeah, nowadays I go for aesthetics or because I like the designer more than the sound and feel aspect of boards. Especially since you can almost always tweak sound/feel (to a certain extent), but it's much harder to tweak aesthetics

Welcome back Andy! Been a month haha

I just sold my 910 ME as it was honestly very underwhelming. Great Video Andy.

I think at a certain price point beyond a threshold, sound and value for money in terms of as much bells and whistles you get for the price takes a back seat, and emotions / feelings would come into play instead, and that's ok! I don't think you can really even ask that question "is it worth for 700+", obviously there will be those that favour price to performance from the likes of Qk65 V2 or the Cycle8, and there will be those that will defend the TGR GSK 910 for what it is Just buy what you like honestly, at the end of the day, if you like it, you like it. satisfaction or enjoyment is immeasurable with objective factors sometimes (e.g., knobs / screen / 8 mounting styles packed in one board). Unless it's outright getting scammed I had the experience of such boards with the Time80 RE. Sure, for the price I paid for it, it's probably one of the worst deals of all time (no brass weights for my configuration, top mount, internal design is basically the same as the 2017 TIME TKL) and it does sound objectively worse, but it has brought me the most smiles when I type on it. I have sentimental reasons to keep the board (grail since entering the hobby some years ago, only able to snag one BNIB at a good price recently) and the sound it makes is fun, meaty and raw - a stark contrast from the recent flock of gasket boards and 1.2mm pcbs. TLDR - Just buy what you like

Honestly, with the market as it is right now, especially for secondhand market, with that kind of money I am getting a full patina/treated brass back weight board that still sound decently good. There's definitely a market still for overkill products that are like "just right". I'm lucky in that mine turns out to be the jjw cloudline, which is admittedly in 2023-2024 terms is closer to that end of the hobby, but there's something about it that hits JUST right, and i think there's definitely a group of people who will feel the same way about the GSK 910, just not me.

I like owning boards that are made by solo or small group designers. I made a list of designers I still have yet to own; Singa, BaionLenja, Saevus, Helheim to name a few. I think it’s almost like owning a piece of history!

Didn't try this one yet but I have my 910 ME built with an custom cut aluminum plate and honestly, the typing feel and sound is the the same as the GAF (which I think shares the same design as this GSK). So yeah, if you care more about the value, just get the 910 ME and a custom aluminum plate (or even steal a GAF plate lol). If you care about GSK and wanting to own a very expensive board then sure, this is for you.

For that price it'd better come with an artisan at least.

I agree it’s expensive. But when I saw it I just desperately wanted one. I ended up finding one in Japan for significantly less than the prices on r/mm due to the weak Yen. It was probably overpriced from the start, but I’m going to have it on my desk on a stand and just look at it.

Its very pretty and sounds great. I just wish some keebs like this were cheaper. I'd understand if it was 400 maybe even low 500.

They put copper and aluminum touching in the same board?? Have they never heard of mixed metal corrosion??

Where can i buy the artisan?

Way too many interesting and unique boards out there to drop stacks on "basic" boards like this.

I think the problem with a lot of these boards is that they were all in the pipeline before TKD and Neo brought high quality minimal design boards with innovative assembly to the market.

I'm more excited for the low profile kits coming out now. Most keyboard designs have hit a ceiling except for a few I have seen recently Event Horizon, Geistmaschine and Baion.

This is way too expensive for what it is. You can get a commision for 1k, and you can do a one off for 200-300 with a factory directly.

I've been using browns and they have been really good man, the keeb also seems great. Been in the hobby for 3 years and still haven't bought a real high end board, maybe the time is now

Bro you need to make a video on the QK60 yesterday is you’re gonna say this sort of stuff

this board looks phenomenal, not sure how they could make it sound better here.

What are your main recommendations for a TKL right now?

mx browns on pc is truly the goat

how does it compare to the gaf910?

Was this board a raffle board on Monokei?

Lets go Fuji. The board looks pretty and sounds decent, but that bish is expensive.

700 usd and you need to use weird cheap rubber suction cup meanwhile 150usd boards are offering magnet connections and ball catch mechanisms 😂

Selling my 910me helped me justify the purchase/upgrade

Damn I was trying to get a 910 for 6 years but I even lost the monokei raffle. Maybe some things are not meant to be together…

That’s a pretty expensive board for what you’re getting, even more expensive when you factor in possible Toll and VAT costs, the base price of the keyboard shipped would be 974 dollars if you live in Sweden.

I appreciate the art concept of the board but the price? Nah - plain robbery

should i get the f1-8x v2 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

$1100 for a board with in my opinion a badly done rgb light, it’s way too bright and a bit cliche. Ontop of that, it sounds like nothing special at all. I think u should do a blind sound test with it using same switches plate and keycaps, but switch between boards and try and have us guess which one is which.

Nice show piece you got there man! C'mon we people buying this either to flip or show. Not for using. Buyer typing from neo65😂

ngl keyboard was mid thank you Andy for the review

yeah i think i’d just commission a board at price point sheeesh

mx browns still going strong>>>>

AHHHH I NEED TO RETURN TO THE HOBBY IVE BEEN GONE TOO LONG

i have a 2300$USD one of one custom keycult but I still daily drive my tester68 that I built 3yrs ago 😅 may not be the best but it has a special place in my heart❤️

me here just watching contents about enthusiast boards knowing that im just dreaming and will never get my hands on any of them (probably not even the one that they say its "budget board")

looking at all the sad flippers unable to sell the gsk910 on mm, clearly it is not worth it

i don't like a blocker on such a small board.

You can almost buy 2 PlayStation 5 Digital versions for that price. And, all that keyboard can do is type lol

bro did you gain weight? big boi.

Good luck getting one though lmao Raffle is such a scam

TGR tax. That's an insane amount to overpay just for the name of the board. I was able to get a fully kitted out OwlLabs Neo 65 including caps, stabs and switches for just over $200USD. Unfortunately, it's not 2020 anymore, the market has moved quickly on to higher volume producers, and these "high end" makers are just getting by on antiquated reputations and fools who value showing off how much they wasted on meh products.

anh này ng vn à :v

A 910 is a 910.

gib keyby pliz

neo65 beats this🤣

I don't know why but it sounds wet and sticky for me, easy pass.

Well if you're going to ask for my opinion in the comment section, here it is: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! I thought this board might be $300 top, even though it sounds like a $90 board, and the price is actually way higher than that?? If you like the aesthetic, and have money to throw around, then have at it. But I wouldn't recommend this board to anyone.

Way overpriced. After all your work it had a hollow sound, like clicky. For that price it should look like my Tesla. I would feel foolish buying that board.
