This keyboard was sent to me in exchange for my honest review. - Věda a technologie
This man is soooo underrated 😢❤❤
I haven’t tried this one, but I did order two of the AL71s and one of womier look alikes. I LOVE it. So solid and love the size too.
I have that same and I am very happy with it.
Great Review friend.
Glad to hear, thanks!
amazing video ( I watched the entire video)
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Nice vid mate
Thanks!
Great review and love r/budgetkeebs, would encourage everyone to check it out! On less expensive caps, not super cheap but mid-range, I've found many dye subs are actually thicker because the double-shot ones are starting to stop the second color halfway through the keycap making them sound thinner than the dye subs. I'm also with ya on the knobs, I've programmed some of my Neo65 keys for volume but don't have a mute on it and that is definitely a disadvantage. After your song comment I look at this keyboard and see "the eyes of a cat in black and blue" :)
"Shiny diamonds" ;)
Agreed on what I call top doubleshot, where it's really only at the inner top of the cap, which I feel should be labelled as such; until recently, doubleshot meant the entire body of the key. What, are they saving 0.001 cents per key?
Mute is a must, for me at least!
Thanks for the kind words about r/BudgetKeebs, we do our best to keep it fun and friendly, see you there, cheers!
Did you ever find out if you were able to change the keyboard rgb to one single color. Also, you are the most wholesome person I have ever heard with such a soothing voice. Definitely going to check out your other content
To get a static color use Fn + \| to cycle through effects until you come to a static one, then Fn + Enter to cycle colors.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoy my content, have an awesome day, cheers!
Have you figured out how to make the knob control volume? I hear fn + space for 3-5 seconds but it doesn't work for me.
Isn't it just press and hold the knob for ~3 seconds to switch between volume controls and RGB controls?
good review!
would this keyboard be good for gaming?
I don't see why not.
Very good sound on this board. And a great price for aluminium. Mad that they'll add switches and keycaps for $14, and they're good ones. Maybe they just hate selling naked boards! 😂
$14 for a set of switches and nice keys is not a bad deal at all, I could not see a real reason to go barebone when it's ready to go for such a small added amount.
Would it be possible to make this board sound more poppy and clacky? I tried putting HMX Hyacinth V2U on them and as expected, the board made them sound muted and bassy.
It's likely, but I can't give any direction until I actually get in there and see how it's built. Not for nothing, I loaded some MMD Princess switches in mine and it made a huge difference in sound level and poppiness.
Love the way the budget market is really starting to move more now. The new GMK87, the AL71 etc. It has really started to drive the price of boards down.
I just wish Yunzii had made this and the 71 QMK/VIA based and done away with the closed software. I find all the iffy gdrive links to drive software such a turn off on some of the cheaper boards and VIA support would remove all that problem, probably for a few $ price increase for the better MCU
Looks an interesting board though
Many manufacturers are coming to the realization that they will need to invest to get those MCUs and deliver open source software since Windows is not the only OS. Not only that, I think it would save them significant time in developing those closed source "drivers" as building QMK driver is not a complex process and should be able to be written and tested within a day or two per keyboard, even less if they develop templates, they'd just need to insert the matrix, build, and go.
I think we'll start to see a lot more of these affordable boards adopt it. Granted, it's not full VIA, but is a step in the right direction - the GMK67 was released with closed source software, but the GMK81/87 are "VIA" compatible, which is a good signal of what's yet to come.
@@MechKeyboards Yep, I am waiting on my GMK87, just left China from the tracking :)
So how did they manage VIA without QMK or they have basically provided a VIA wrapper over their existing code in the board.
Yep, building a QMK map from ground up is actually not that bad as really just a mirror of the wire traces. I am looking for a case at the mo to try my first hand wired build. I could see it would save them a load. Will be interesting to see how the year plays out now, I half expect a raft of interesting Aluminium boards in the space. I am sort of sorry to see CNC acrylic go out of fashion. I have an ACR Top 75 and love the case on that, wimilar to the little 40% you did recently but scaled up.
I guess once you move to cnc though then Alu is what people want now.
@@WarrenLeggatt my guess is that they did some USB capturing and built/modified the firmware to send out the VIA signals, I don't believe QMK is involved, especially when they are wireless, only one MCU that I know of works with both.
To be honest, I don't think acrylic is gone for good. Aluminum is the "material of choice" at the moment and there almost seems to be a race to the cheapest. Once everyone has one (or three), they'll cycle back to acrylic, wood, and other materials that will help them stand out from the pack. I enjoy acrylic as well, but all the other ones that I own are stacked acrylic, which is still decent, but I love that single CNC'd body and I want more! 😁
@@MechKeyboards Hopefully. I have come around to wood also recently. Just dropped one of my Minila layout boards into a wood case with 2mm silicon in the base (All that would fit lol) and that has a great sound profile to it. Has a far "warmer" sound profile to Alu I think
@@WarrenLeggatt I've yet to get a wooden case, but it's long been on my list. I know someone with a CNC and should just breakdown and buy me a nice slab of Rosewood and have him print me up a nice 65%.
Soon.
Cheers!
wonder if they have barebone version with FR4 plate
They do have a barebone variant but I've yet to see other plates.
Good review! Is the knob replaceable?
Yes, though it is a standard potentiometer, not a d-knob, and is of a much smaller diameter than others.
@@MechKeyboards where can i buy replacement knob for this that are as large as "d knobs"
@@Eli-ux5ob Amazon, AliExpress, music stores that sell guitars.
@@MechKeyboards sorry for all the questions but what keywords do i search?
@@Eli-ux5ob 6mm potentiometer knob.
What screws do I buy to replace these soft ones?
I'm sorry, I do not have the screw dimensions, you should reach out to Yunzii for an exact answer.
@@MechKeyboards good idea! thanks!
Which Keyboard out of the AL66, Cidoo V65 or Womier S-K71 no matter the price?
Honestly the AL66. Yes, the S-K71 sounds lovely as well, but I've incorporated having a knob into my workflow, not that I couldn't just use the knob on the numpad I use whenever I'm on a TKL or smaller board, but it much easier for my hands to find the knob when it's just a few keys away :)
I have a stack of six V65 V1/V2, every single one with issues. Cidoo is owned by Epomaker and I just cannot recommend their products.
@@MechKeyboards Alright, thanks for your rapid answer on the topic😅 Due to me living in Germany the Womier is about 110 Euro and Yunzii is 15 Euro cheaper. I don't care about the knob too much as I am going to use to keyboard mostly for casual gaming. Do you reckon it is going to be good and not gonna have any problems with latencies? Anyways keep up the good work and once again thank you for your fast answer you've earned a subscriber
@@sejkk1610 I've yet to have any issues with keyboards from either Yunzii or Womier, so I'd reckon you'll be fine and the keyboard should last you. I don't game but I have no issues with latency over BT5, though most gamers recommend 2.4g as they have a faster polling rate.
Thanks, glad I could help, cheers!
I plan to use the Keyboard wired anyways so the polling rate should be good Right?
@@sejkk1610 yes, I do believe it's higher over wired and 2.4g.
It all started last monday, all I wanted to do was replace my old Magic Keyboard for a cheap mechanical one from Amazon...this will be my 6th keyboard ordering 🤣🤣 I hate you guys 🤣🤣
😅 Welcome to the rabbit hole my friend, we've got hot coffee and tea, make yourself at home, cheers!
