A place where I can experiment with different mechanical keyboards and sounds. Everything from new boards to frankenswitches, all for that elusive endgame :)
I generally try to upload at least twice a week with different keycap/switches/plate materials so stay posted on the latest frankenswitches and sound test! If you have an idea in mind please do let me know!!!

Hey, a bit late to the party. Did you need to lube the leaf? i got a set and it seems like the leaf is ticking, might just be a bad batch, who knows.
@@sinnerairsoft8487 I do remember lubing behind the leaf but it wasn’t that bad from what I remember
@@TofuTypes thanks a lot for the answer imma do just that then
Damn what discord do I need to be in to find out about these events
@@CrispySenpai here’s the link to the NorCal discord group! discord.gg/XvFt34ub8c
90 pounds!?!? Mad respect
oh my god, those kodama keycaps
insane right???
Idk what’s more crazy furious keycult collection or that guys 100 pound artisan tray lol
I'm curious with the popu zykos. what's the difference between the zykos (panda top)?
zykos were histoically made with a zelios v2 bottom, halo clear stem and a cherry top. I swapped the cherry to popu tops since I wanted the opaque/ clear colorway. As far as sound goes it's a tad more of a muted upstroke but that's all I can say for them :)
@@TofuTypes thanks you! I'll try building one if I can find the parts in the market 😅 btw, I love the sound test of your popu zykos!!
@@TofuTypes Sorry, I have a follow-up question. Where exactly did you apply the films 'behind the leaf' I can't imagine where you applied them
@@vincentjohnrivera5906 for sure! and behind the leaf as in in between the housing and the leaf (so if you're looking at the back of the switch you'll see a small black piece)
How does this compare to the JRIS80?
one PIECE
Fantastic production value!
@@MartinAaberge thank you!!
👀👍! are the sword handle badges interchangable?
@@oakerface95 yup! They’re all on magnets :)
What is “HiFi” mean in switches? Is it clacky? Creamy? Thocky? I’ve read some description from aliexpress that it is “majong” sound. Butt there’s no info from Google. Can someone please shed some light? 🙏
Tofu has the same birthday as my wife!

@@TofuTypes amazing 🙏🏽 also looking forward to seeing ya at SFxMK’s event Saturday!
I love you tofu❤
@@CoffeeandKeebs love you too 💙
god im so happy seeing this be real. I remember when it was just renders. So hype to see it be real.
Can’t wait for this! Have a buddy who is super stoked for this board
I have no interest in One Piece either but I might go in it given how good the sides of the board look with the alu/Brass break up
the irony of a one piece themed board having what appeared to be a top, middle, and bottom case with what looked like three internal weights … dang! It sounded great imo, but maybe the ghost dragons and MX Blacks carried it. Price point and layout aren’t my jam, but hope the GB goes well for them!
LMAO it could have been designed in "one piece" I guess but I kind of dig the seam :P I like intentional seams! and same on my end I hope the appetite is still there :C
@@TofuTypesFor sure, I am down for a visible seam in a multipiece board!
how does this compare to the luminkey80 for sound
Amazing theming on this board, I hope that blocker on the right is removable since a lot of the benefit of 65% is having the extra bit of nav along with the arrows Gotta see more of these well executed themed boards on the market
you can take them off i've been told... I stand corrected LMAO *** previous: sadly while you can take off the blockers... it leaves those switches unusable :c***
You can take the clips off and have the nav row still there 😊
Bro found the One Piece... Keyboard ☠️
Mannn I really would’ve preferred to not have that handle as a blocker. It just looks weird imo. Which sucks bc I love every other aspect of the board and I’m not even a one piece fan lol.
it does throw off the symmetry but to each their own xD maybe they could have done like an extended 65 with the handles but ehh it is what it is :P
This is something we really struggled on. We tried so many variation, Toblerone hilts, all on the butt, on the sides. But aesthetically it just worked best on top. Thanks for the input though!!
@@squirrelystub yeah it was interesting seeing the different versions.
@@squirrelystub Yeah not mad at it all (this hobby is all preference) I think overall the board has a good aesthetic. I just wouldn’t be able to get used to the blocker lol. Totally a me thing.
Three Sword Style!
What's the white board with green keys? ❤
@@KevinZentner that’s my personal board! The TofuLove
That's a thing of beauty. What case is it? Have you posted a video of the build?
@@KevinZentner not yet! It's been show cased a bit here and there as I originally wanted to do a run of it but that died so I only have the proto's left haha
That sucks, love the dimensions from what I can see. Sell me a prototype. :)
I would love to try a nylon plate but I’m gonna have to get one of those sources. I could probably make my own…probably.
Sold out.
No aggressive board grab in video 0/10 review, very disappointed.
The visuals are really great and the sound is also good.
thank you!
Im soooo dead, I coudnt even pick between lighting strip or no lighting strippp, what is happening to meee lol
I was really happy they offered a version without the top accent, I was on the fence about ordering one of these till I saw that.
the top accent you mean is with lighting strip or no lighting strip?
@@user-pm5hq7vw2n top accent is with, they also offer a version without.
@@user-pm5hq7vw2n Don't know why CZcams didn't post my previous comment but top accent is with the strip. There is also an option without the strip/top accent.
What color is this? Cream?
Hello, thank you for the video about the cycle 8. I want to buy myself my first mechanical keyboard and am still unsure between the bridge75 (which i could get for 155€) and the cycle 8 (320€ everything included). Do you think its worth to pay double the price or should I stick to the Bridge? I am not gaming at all, but am working from home and typing quite a lot, also interested in learning to mod the keyboard, kind regards :)
Zen Pond looks so good on that board
miss you
me too, see you soon :3
Which is more comfortable to type on. Neo80 or this? On paper neo80 sits lower plus it has a lower angle so it should be more comfortable, is this true?
in theory yup, practically it kind of depends if you use a wrist rest or not (I do so it's a little negligible) but yeah I would say the noe80 is a td more comfortable to type on
@@TofuTypes alright thanks, thats a huge plus for me as i dont wanna use wrist rest, also i believe the keycaps sit a bit lower compared to the case
hi whats ur opinion on zoom75 compared to this ?
I like the rgb cut out I think it adds some uniqueness to the cycle8.
ngl I was waiting to see how you were gonna do the grab for this board
Still feel it's overrated just like the cycle7. Would stick with the Neo line over this.
totally understandable LOL
Cycle8 or neo80? @TofuTypes
i like the aesthetics of the cycle 8 more (without the RGB cutout) but feel and sound are pretty close to each other IMO. Just depends which one do you like the look of more
@TofuTypes I have the feeling that the neo is more thocky. But everyone says Cycle is better and I don't know why.
@@Carlosvila94 granted i couldn't throw all the foam in the cycle 8 so that thick isn't something I can try (nor is it how I prefer to build my boards) but better is super subjective LOL just go with one that you prefer more :P
@@TofuTypes I was curious why people said one was better than the other. Thnx for answering
@@Carlosvila94 yeah idk what to tell ya LOL I can maybe see the build process of the magnetic daughterboard on the neo80 is better? 🤷♂️
is it worth to add some money for this over the neo80?
Ultimately they both sound and feel pretty similar. Just depends if you enjoy the aesthetics of the cycle 8 more than the neo80
Sick camera work
thank you!
I typically don't pay for the extras like polished PVD weight and go the cheapest option but with my experience with the cycle 7, I'm to for the first time on a GB spend that extra and I agree about the RGB cut out but it makes the keyboard look a little more unique so I might go for it
oh for sure by all means :3 I hope you enjoy!
does the bottom fall off when lifted with top half like neo80 with ball catch mechanism ?
it's pretty snug in there, if you pulled REALLY hard it would separate
@@TofuTypes thanks for sharing
is it lunar color?
yup!
It would be funny if someone made a mod to make the led lights slot into a sd card reader
LMAOO i think it would be too big xD the cutout is a tad tooo small to fit an SD card
The top accent for this is actually optional! So that’s kinda a huge W. Definitely a good looking and sounding board for the price
👀👍! no grab today :(
sadly no grab :C next time tho :3
