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.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Really good to see that some of these crazy ideas are being used and actually helping! It's a great community and everyone shares so much!
Keybored deserve to be in the million sub club! I hope your content by then just keep on getting better and better. I love the sound you're trying to achieve in each video, and your scientific approach to achieving them.
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.
I don't think many got the privilege. The Tiger 80's better colors are out of stock, and all of the Lite's versions are also out of stock. God knows when they'll have more supply... I need a good TKL.
Favorite part: "let's make it better". Very good stuff from kbdfans, really into the lite version price point, if only they could make it readily available not future group buy... Keycaps actually look interesting too. Nice video as usual
Ordered the Tiger 80 Alu with the ABS plastic case as well, hoping to use the aluminum top plate and the plastic bottom, with the tape mod, etc. and then I'm hoping most of the ping will be taken care of by that. Very excited to build it and see how it sounds.
i’ve gotta say it is flexy as hell, butttttt the mode boards with half plates are just incredible, out of every board i’ve tried, there is no typing experience like it, it’s amazing
Yup! The crazy thing is that this is going to be $125 haha. I don't think there is anything else out there in this price that can deliver like the Tiger can! It's like KBD67 LITE price, but better
Lol. "Tame". This is great, Scott. Led me to quickly go to their site and order one. 66k subscribers don't do your channel justice! You should be reaching 1M soon. Try looking at keywords for searches. Monitor your impressions and CTR. Do some AB tests as well. More views should lead to more subscribers soon. Hope this helps as much as your vids help me!
@@Keybored hit me up, happy to help you for free. I specialize in growth. We need more scientific-driven keyboard videos (and who knows, you might find yourself another hobby, lol), and keeping you on a positive growth would help a lot of us here.
@@Keybored So I followed this build, Scott. Using the Durock Poms with the Tiger 80. Tried it with the polyfill. I just switched the configuration to a Poron case foam, thin poron foam that is. It makes the Durock POMs sound more poppy. Using a GMK set and it sounds heavenly. It didn't compromise the flex of the board!
Technical superb "geekiness", clear to-all-audience presentation, subtle and relevant sense of humour, playful and surprising creativity - Scott you are definitely one favourite personas in the keyboard community among all of us!
I have been using tiger 80 for a while and really loved it, i like typing on this one! do you have other keyboard with similar typing feels? much appreciated
I love everything about this board except the plate. Not a fan of PC plates in any board. Wish they would've had more plate options or release the dimension file so we can have one made. Great video as always Scott!
The mx brown ASMR search killed me, might have been better off searching for Shoobs (less obvious, haha). Really enjoyed the vid, ended up picking a half plate Sonnet75 and am planning to do the top mount with the gasket socks, seems this mounting style (or styles like it) are becoming more widespread, and it’s so so cool to see this at lower price points. I love my tofu, but dang what’s available now vs. even just two years ago is insane!
After all this time and nemerous gaterons after. I am glad Durock Pom still has a place in your heart :) I recently put lubed durock pom inside an Akko Alice Plus and it's nice 👍
This thing recently went on sale at divinikey for $105 with free shipping! At that price, it's pretty hard to argue against. I picked one up to see what the ruckus was about.
I watched this video just after ordering my tiger 80 alongside a pack of 90 tecsee carrot switches (short pole). Fortunately i have 70 broken in novel keys creams so I'll just use them for the main board and fill out the rest with the carrots.
I think I'm gonna hold out for the ABS simply because of the see-through bottom. I mean why have the extra custom tape feature , if you can't see it?? Hah..
Hi Keybored, can I suggest you doing a comparison video between a Zoom TKL and Tiger80 Lite? Both seem to be at similar price points and are good in its own right, I am confused between the two... which should I choose?
Is there a 75% keyboard kit you would recommend that is similar in sound profile to the Tiger Lite? I picked up the Lite on the BFCM sale and built it w/ Gat Silver Pro 2.0 and NicePBT keycaps + all foams and absolutely love the sound profile, especially considering the price. Greatly enjoy and appreciate your content!
I always go back to this video to tell myself I want the lite. I think Mr Suit's parts are kinda compatible with the Tiger 80. I saw a video of someone using the Suits' plate in this. Maybe worth a try 🤔
we are getting ever so dangerously close to jelly epoch territory while paying the price of a tofu. This is some serious progress for the keyboard community!
How to remove the pinging sound and the at the letter P on tiger80? Already do the force break mod, use a little poron at the bottom of the switch but it still have a ping sound. 😑
O ring mount boards are very lively and vibrant in color. So if you want something like that, fb TKL is a good fit. The new silicone gasket sock boards like tiger straddle between o ring and traditional poron gasket boards I feel
This keyboard seems like such a good deal! The only thing turning me off is the sound signature. Everywhere I look, the tiger seems to have a pe foam/low pitched sound signature, I was wondering if it's possible to make it clack/high pitched?
Does anyone have an idea what i can do to my tofu60 to make my spacebar sound even? The right side always sounds higher pitched for some reason... Its holee modded and lubed, the case had foam and is oring mounted
@@Keybored yeah i have one but what do i do with it? :/ Do i just compleatly remove the screw or drill out the stand off? Thanks for the fast replie tho
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.
@@Keybored On an unrelated note, your channel has become one of my favorites. I love your scientific and analytical approach to an otherwise pretty subjective hobby. Thanks for making these videos!
Will have to check out some of Novelkeys stuff. I reached out them before but nothing really came out of it for collaboration. I think NK typically works with bigger content creators
@@Keybored gasket mount 65% keyboard from KeebMonkey, and it's only $69. A lot of people are saying it's one of the best entry points into the hobby currently.
Wasn't even thinking about buying a new KB but man that sounded sexy. Sadly I'm inn the process of rebuilding the home lab, a new KB will have to wait. Great video as always though.
Great video! When you said you used a second layer of tape, did you use a second layer of the included tape that comes with the Tiger 80? Meaning one layer default tape design and one layer of your custom tape. Or did you use masking tape or something like that for the second layer?
@@Keybored Yep and that's good! Cause it'll start showing to more and more people that you don't need to blow up your wallet to get a high-quality product you use 4 to 8+ hours a day for many days out of the week/month/year that'll easily last you years to come.
Hey Scott! I recently took your advice when building the tiger 80 lite for my new work board! I have a question though - My spacebar sounds very hollow for some reason (unlike yours). Did you mod the spacebar at all, or do you have any idea why my spacebar is the only key that is sounding hollow? I double tape modded and used polyfill as well.
How heavy is the Tiger80 lite? Thinking of buying it to bring around with me. Also would you say it’s only good for beginners or a good addition to a collection? Thanks!
Hi Scott, this is a fab video thank you! Would you be able to do a comparison video between these keyboards and the FreebirdTKL? Similar to how you compared the Zoom65 and QK65? ☺️🙏🏻
@@Keybored nuuuuu. In your opinion, for someone like me who who like to try an 80%, which out of the three would you recommend? I’ve only used 65% so I don’t know if I’m going to like it haha but I want to try! ☺️
Hey Scott! Great video. Been loving your content recently. Is polyfill safe for keyboards? I’ve heard mixed things about tape so wanted to see your thoughts. Thanks!
I heard anything and everything can cause static electricity to impact the PCB... so use everything at your discretion. However, I have so many boards with so much of these "prohibited" materials, and have not had any issues so far... knock on wood!
does anyone know what the mod and switches used in the sound test @ 1:35? that's the sound that i'm trying to go for with my Keychron Q1. thanks in advance!
Gonna order the qk65 today. Want this or the freebirdtkl? Which is better in ur opinion? Def want to get a tkl for the rotation. Not a kbd67 fan but really digging this didnt know there was a lite one.
Your content is solid, have been seen some but first time commenting, can you help me out giving me a recommendation for the regular tiger 80 against the Keychron Q1/Q3. Im debating wich one to get, the tiger is more expensive...like 50$ at least for me, about the looks idk, I like both pretty much haha
Hi Keybored, as a newbie planning to start my keyboard journey, would like to ask, is it worth it to choose the tiger 80 instead of the tiger 80 lite, considering the large gap in price?
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?
Why so many reviewers acting like plate forms or chopsticks don’t exist? It’s really not that difficult to build with a flexible plate… plate foam is fine, but not necessary for building
Hey keybored, love your content, based on your recomendations i was waiting on the qk65 r2 drop, but sadly it wont be shipping to my region, what other alternatives would you recomend?
This or qk65? Assuming no preference for the different form factors Im thinking qk65 for the weight, price, sound, and premium look. Tiger 80 seems to be better in flex only
@@Keybored Fair enough. Though for most people "entering" the hobby I would assume the primary concern would be price vs features (aka value). That's why I'd currently consider the qk65 the best "entry" to the hobby. But if we are going for the ultimate entry price point/value, the one you modded from Amazon with gummy o ring, that has to take the cake
Excellent review. Love the commentary about the purple throwback to Nintendo.
Can't miss the chance to throw in Nintendo! Miss those good old days

Definitely a board that won't be just a stepping stone. It's legit good enough to last a while
I KNOW 🥲
right? they were so expensive when i started and kinda shit. not complaining though getting back into the hobby
I don't think many got the privilege. The Tiger 80's better colors are out of stock, and all of the Lite's versions are also out of stock. God knows when they'll have more supply... I need a good TKL.

I hope this board comes an in stock keyboard!
I would love to see this board in a 60% form factor. I’m definitely looking to pick up an Alu one with the Burgundy color. Excellent review!
I hope they bring out more sizes
Ordered the Tiger 80 Alu with the ABS plastic case as well, hoping to use the aluminum top plate and the plastic bottom, with the tape mod, etc. and then I'm hoping most of the ping will be taken care of by that. Very excited to build it and see how it sounds.
Love the Durock POM set up. It’s poppin! The ABS one still has the lingering plastic twang.
:) I realized that polyfill in the ABS one also helps fix that also
i’ve gotta say it is flexy as hell, butttttt the mode boards with half plates are just incredible, out of every board i’ve tried, there is no typing experience like it, it’s amazing
Yup! The crazy thing is that this is going to be $125 haha. I don't think there is anything else out there in this price that can deliver like the Tiger can! It's like KBD67 LITE price, but better

I feel that this board with an aluminum plate/FR4 may actually be more fun. It's so soft that you don't need the plate to be crazy soft like PC.

Ugh, just bought a 1st batch NK87 and it hasn’t even arrived yet, but guess I gotta buy this tiger lite too xd.
I neeed the flex in my life.
Same wtf, got atomic purple last night 😭
The Tiger is definitely a great board to go after... especially in the LITE guise
@@chaikey lol I saw the 1st batch for the alu and figured that if I didn’t like it, I could probably still sell it and recoup most of what I spent
@@Keybored yeah, if I grab a tiger, it’d def be the lite. The sound is superior, and I’m really interested for that flex PCB, which comes with either.
After all this time and nemerous gaterons after. I am glad Durock Pom still has a place in your heart :)
I recently put lubed durock pom inside an Akko Alice Plus and it's nice 👍
Still love me lots of JWK switches! Pom, the Quartz, Tangies, still use quite a bit of them!
@@Keybored what about the lavender switches
The incentive to buy the tiger 80 lite is huge for something that sounds that good for that price. Would have been a killer if it was also wireless.
and in stock right away haha
This board, at this price point, with this flex & sound??? It's too good 🥴🥴🥴
I know right? I hope it was ok for me to reveal the price on the LITE haha
@@Keybored Definitely want the Lite for the Gameboy/N64 look! I assume it'll include everything that comes with the 80 too I'd hope 👍🏻
Really hope they make a 75% of this design. I'd jump on it without a moment's hesitation.
Would be interesting to see them make multiple form factors
This thing recently went on sale at divinikey for $105 with free shipping! At that price, it's pretty hard to argue against. I picked one up to see what the ruckus was about.
and just when I thought I didn't need another keyboard LOL. this is super helpful...will be keeping an eye out on the tiger boards
They're a great deal for sure!
I watched this video just after ordering my tiger 80 alongside a pack of 90 tecsee carrot switches (short pole). Fortunately i have 70 broken in novel keys creams so I'll just use them for the main board and fill out the rest with the carrots.
3:24 Hipyo mod makes your keyboard extra cringey, got it. 😆
:) hahaha
Is there an exploded 75% board around that competes in value with the tiger80 lite? That things sounds nuts but prefer the 75% form factor :/
Been watching you since your gk61 o-ring vid and been hooked to your content. Respect to you man
Thank you so much Herm!
You honestly make the most in depth reviews and make super entertaining vids! KEEP IT UP SCOTT! Goat content

Which kind of keyboard do you prefer?: Plastic or alu keeb, the pros and cons of each and why you prefer it. Thanks!

I wish someone had given you recommendations, I have the same question lol
Kbdfans needs to revise the d65 (and the other sizes)
The D65 is very antiquated... and even the Tiger is now more advanced than it
You should do a comparison between the Tiger 80 and the qk65
The QK65 still in a different league. The case quality and feel is just unmatched
@@Keybored omg I was just about to ask that question thanks scott
@@Keybored gotcha, that makes sense
a lot of people chase after the premium metal boards, but honestly a lot of cheap abs cases sound better imo
In this case, the ABS definitely sounds better to my ears
I always go back to this video to tell myself I want the lite. I think Mr Suit's parts are kinda compatible with the Tiger 80. I saw a video of someone using the Suits' plate in this. Maybe worth a try 🤔
Would the Tiger 80 Lite be a better budget option for the price compared to the bakeneko65/kbd67 lite/qk65?

Idk if anyone's told you this but you have fantastic hair! also great video. Glad there are more TKLs in this price range

The only thing turning me off is the sound signature. Everywhere I look, the tiger seems to have a pe foam/low pitched sound signature, I was wondering if it's possible to make it clack/high pitched?
Its easy to make a clacky board..he has a video on it.
Yup! You can always adjust components to make it clack or thock!
@@xSabinx1 I saw that, I'm just too dumb to utilize the knowledge
Remove the eva foam, add a ton of foam and u have a clacky board but no flex
Alright so next we need a keyboard with that image of Scott on the underside of the case
Does anyone have an idea what i can do to my tofu60 to make my spacebar sound even? The right side always sounds higher pitched for some reason... Its holee modded and lubed, the case had foam and is oring mounted
Hmm... sometimes if you have a stand-off by the spacebar, that will skew the sound to one side. Check it out!
@@Keybored yeah i have one but what do i do with it? :/ Do i just compleatly remove the screw or drill out the stand off? Thanks for the fast replie tho
I have a keychron q3, and tiger 80 lite. The ladder is by far my favorite
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.

Thank you so much! When you're ready to go, the Tiger80 should be an in-stock I hope!
Nice video Scott! This or the fbtkl? i think a video on that similar to zoom vs qk65 vid could help many people decide!
The only flex bigger than the tiger 80 is having Scott's face dye subbed onto keycaps.
Hahaha, like what Glarses did with the Pewdiepie's face
The new gasket socks looks quite flexy
Very very flexy haha
the pbtfans neons are so nice
Great video! When you said you used a second layer of tape, did you use a second layer of the included tape that comes with the Tiger 80? Meaning one layer default tape design and one layer of your custom tape. Or did you use masking tape or something like that for the second layer?
Early bird woohooo!
Fantastic review btw! Definitely a good buy for a low/medium priced build that punches way above it's weight.
So many keyboards are sooo good now for the price! Custom keyboards are starting to go mass market!
@@Keybored Yep and that's good! Cause it'll start showing to more and more people that you don't need to blow up your wallet to get a high-quality product you use 4 to 8+ hours a day for many days out of the week/month/year that'll easily last you years to come.
I always thought abs/polycarbonate cased sounded lower pitches compared to aluminium cases
They typically do, because of the softness of the material!
Hey Scott! I recently took your advice when building the tiger 80 lite for my new work board! I have a question though - My spacebar sounds very hollow for some reason (unlike yours). Did you mod the spacebar at all, or do you have any idea why my spacebar is the only key that is sounding hollow? I double tape modded and used polyfill as well.
Do you have experience using a plate support fork? I wonder how much easier it is putting in switches on a flexy plate with one. Thanks!
Great review! Always my go to reviewer regarding custom keyboards
Thank you! :)
sorry what is the meeting of on background regarding JWK?
I like the 7u SPAPCE bar
I do too. They are a bit harder to get sounding perfect due to their sheer size
@@Keybored haha I was referring to the misspelled printing on the PCB. But I am surprised KBDfans has put out a competitive and compelling keyboard
I'm looking forward to the Kbdfans Rabbit60 and Dragon1800 in the next 2 years.
Don't forget the Rat65!
Can you use durock v2 stabs on the tiger lite
How heavy is the Tiger80 lite? Thinking of buying it to bring around with me.
Also would you say it’s only good for beginners or a good addition to a collection? Thanks!
What a shame they don't offer a soldered version that supports stepped caps
Jesus this mans wpm have got to be 200+!
so if you have other more expensive kbs the alu is not worth the spend? sounds nice on your video, and i guess you cannot have enough tkls.
is the clacky high pitch sound profile obtainable with the tiger 80 lite?
Hi Scott, this is a fab video thank you! Would you be able to do a comparison video between these keyboards and the FreebirdTKL? Similar to how you compared the Zoom65 and QK65? ☺️🙏🏻

Spacebar sounds hollow, but the rest is very nice.
I think the spacebar could be fixed with some fill :)
How do plastic keebs sound so good!? I know metal is the premium material but plastic always trumps it on sound.
How cool would the tiger 80 kb be with year of the tiger keycaps from osume! Tiger themed keyboard
man every keybored video is always such a banger

The durock pom is lubed amd filmed? Or lubed only
Did you use nk cream stem in oil king housing for the stabs I'm kinda curious
Nope, I used NK cream stem on a JWK JWICK housing with the Cherry MX top. The BCP is JWK bottom, cream stem and Cherry top
If I already have kbd8x mkii, does it make sense to get the tiger?
hey scot! have you heard about the simpler60 keyboard from ilumkb? i really interested on what you can do with that board
I have not. There are so many great suggestions from the comments for me to check out!
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
Hey been watching ur vids since the tofu days, it would be nice to add a camera mic perspective as well!
Thanks for the feedback! And thank you for the continued support!
Does the Lite kit include all the foams/accessories that are in the alu kit?
I was told that it comes as a kit! But it only had 1 foam for the plate for the alu one so it wouldn't be too much for them to include that.
Why so many reviewers acting like plate forms or chopsticks don’t exist? It’s really not that difficult to build with a flexible plate… plate foam is fine, but not necessary for building
Hey keybored, love your content, based on your recomendations i was waiting on the qk65 r2 drop, but sadly it wont be shipping to my region, what other alternatives would you recomend?
Dang... the QK65 is really not a entry board... it's right up there with many $300 boards for reals
This or qk65? Assuming no preference for the different form factors
Im thinking qk65 for the weight, price, sound, and premium look. Tiger 80 seems to be better in flex only
QK65 shouldn't really be considered entry imo... It's underclassed
@@Keybored Fair enough. Though for most people "entering" the hobby I would assume the primary concern would be price vs features (aka value). That's why I'd currently consider the qk65 the best "entry" to the hobby.
But if we are going for the ultimate entry price point/value, the one you modded from Amazon with gummy o ring, that has to take the cake
hair looking great scott
Haha thanks! The "Market Guy" hair
