- Hey guys! Today we're going to be taking a look at a board that Banggood has kindly sent to me, the Feker IK75. It is a hot swappable 75% keyboard with a rotary knob, which seems to be a really popular layout lately. Stay tuned to hear my take on this keyboard! Thank you guys so much for the support!

Packaging looks really clean, also nice broll shots 👌 that gong before the soundtest tho haha nice touch!
Nice review bro enjoyed that chill unboxing!
Thank you for watching and the kind words!
Well produced video! Earned my sub for sure and look forward to watching more of your content in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words and I really appreciate the sub! I look forwards to making more content for y'all in the future!
ive been using the Feker IK75 for about a month and i think its one the best budget board out in the market
I'm glad you think so!
with a proper modding, it will become a very great keyboard to use .
I truly agree ^_^
This sounds really solid! Great stabs especially
Hey thanks for watching! The board's sound wasn't for me personally but I agree the stabs we're pretty good!
nice video/ thanks for sharing with us. I have a question what would you recommend between this one and keydous nj80 let me know your thought. thanks a lot
nice stuff! keep up the good work
Ty for watching!
Fantastic Video! I really love it and it's inspired me to build my own. I really want to use this board along with Gateron Pro Milky Yellow Linear Switches along with Japan Sakura Shadow Keycaps. Do you think I'd face north-facing interference with that combination? It seems like you managed to not have it which is amazing!
Wow, what the heck. Why do you have so few subscribers?? This is top grade content. Production quality is top notch. Hope you get more subscribers soon. *Subscribed
Thanks so much for the kind words! I put a lot of effort into my videos so I appreciate your sub!
I like that mini gong! so cute haha
the mini gong is such a great touch to your setup! links to buy?
also another great video, cant wait to see your future products!

I'm trying to get my first keyboard and this was one of my options, what other keyboards do you reccomend that's 75% and has a rotary knob? Also rlly high quality video btw! U deserve more subs!
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to watch the video! I just want to say first off that this board isn't a bad choice at all, it's very functional and will get the job done no problem, but for roughly $93 (in the USA), its a bit high of a price point given that the gasket mount isn't the greatest, the north facing switch orientation will give you interference issues should you want to get a cherry profile keycap set, and I just wasn't impressed by the sound (this is subjective). So if you like the look of the keyboard and the fact that it has a knob and an f-row, maybe you should still consider it! I know many people also enjoy the Keychron Q1 Knob version (even though it is more expensive) but if it's in your budget I would consider that one as well. And finally, the Akko Mod007 seems like a very similar layout that you might also be interested in! Best of luck on your first board!
I'm not sure why he gave this board such a harsh review. I see he mentioned the Q1 from keychron and the Akko Mod 007, theyre great boards with roughly a $80 price increase, however the hard part about the Q1 and the akko mod 007 is theyre not hard to get because theyre sold out constantly.
If youre just getting into keyboards, I feel like this is a safe bet, i havent personally come across another blown up 75% kayboard thats also wireless thats available at this price point. I think its cheap enough to test as a first board...
Hope you find something you love!
@@MichaelMariscal Thank you for the input! It's all about preference in this hobby and I appreciate the effort to help anyone get into their first board!
hi! i got the akko mod007 recently, and i absolutely love it. Although it isn’t always in stock, akko does restock it quite frequently and will contact you if you’re in the waiting list.
As for the board itself, they provide an FR4 plate along w the aluminium plate, therefore the flex for the board overall is pretty good. The akko mod007 is known for the reallly good aluminium finishing for the case itself, on the inside and the outside.
overall i really love the akko mod007, for its price point($149), it’s a pretty good board.
I have another option, which is keydous nj80 which is around $90 and comes in steel/brass plate options. It has great stock stabs but the downside is that it's sandwhich mounted if that aren't your preferences.
amazing video! can you please link the keycap set you bought? I am pretty interested to take a look at them
Which screws did you use to install the standoffs and PC plate?
My unit must have came with the wrong screws because the standoffs were too short, the extra screws were too small for the PCB holes and stems were too long. The only way I could make it work was to shorten the metal plate screws by 50% using a wire cutter. My experience was pretty awful but I got it done in the end.
the same in my case
8:47 which other boards would you recommend that are also are 75% exploded layout? Budget and for a little bit more
UNDER RATED
Have you also tried the nt75? And if you have, which of the two would you recommend?
what should i do those included screws or standoffs for the pc plate didnt come with the feker i got
this is such a nice review, made me second guess because of the north facing leds tho. also it's fairly cheap in my country, around USD65-70.
dude 65-70 is a steal! over here its like 110
There's plenty of switches that don't have the north facing issue nowadays, although it still limits your switch options if you want to go for cherry profile keycaps.
@@flyingsquid2.094 its aroud 50 usd here in Philippines
@@anaepeot dang...
Hey I have this keyboard and have had wireless problems. When I opened device manager the device that I believe is the receiver says that it initializes but then it says deleted. Other than that the keyboard is fine, I just don't know how to fix this and wondered if u knew how to.
how did you get the underglow to be a solid color? i cant find it in the driver
Can you tell me what size is the right shift key please?and left shift too,trying to figure out if a akko keycap set will support
How do you make it stay a static purple all the time? I can’t figure it out in the software
looks and sounds awesome B)
Any interference with the north facing switches and cherry profile tho?
Hey! Thanks for watching! And yes, there will be north facing interference if you decide to go with Cherry profile keycaps. However, I avoided this issue by using Holy Boba switches, which has a longer stem, and therefore it avoids north facing switch interference. I believe there are other switches you can use to avoid this issue as well such as the Boba U4T!
@@via.vincee7686 thanks...ended up copping it lol
what alternatives do you recommend?
I picked up the wired version for $45 so for that price it’s pretty decent
I don't know if I get this one or Akko ACR 75 V2 ....
Can you o-ring the pcb and polycarbonate together?
i like the gong
Hi I would just like to ask if you know the firmware version of Kefer IK75? I’m having some issues on the firmware of mine. Thanks in advance.
can you link the keycap set you bought? thanks
So what recommendations do you have that are on amazon
Nice vid
How would you compare this to the CIY Tester84?
oki i'm buying it.
So is the plate aliuminum or steel? I've heard both.
Can you notice the flickering or does that only happen while recording?
how to change to purple light ?
Can you switch between wired and wireless (2.4g) easily or do you need to toggle the switch underneath? I'd like to connect to my desktop and laptop.
There is a switch underneath the board that you have to change in order to change modes!
i just pre ordered the ik75 v5. Am i the only person buying this or something because there's no content on it at all. I would've thought that some people would've got early access or something right?
U deserve 10k subs bro
Thank you that means a lot!
underglow keyboard look really beautiful hope the case was more clear not milk transparent
Any opinions on the Keydous NJ80? Similar boards, and I'm trying to choose between the two.
Hello thanks for watching and to answer your question although I havent had a first hand experience on the NJ80 it seems like an interesting alternative. For roughly $95 in the US, it does address some of the issues that I had with this Feker IK75, which is the south facing RGB, so you wont have to worry about keycap interference on the NJ80. Also the NJ80 is a clamp mount rather than the Feker's "gasket mount", however the feker was pretty stiff and I didn't notice the "gasket mount" too much. I hope this helps (I would personally more likely go with the NJ80, but make sure you are happy with what you end up going with).
Isn't the last sample switch Feker Pandas?
Just a dumb though, would it be possible to cut off the plastic stand offs from the base (I think I saw 3)? I don't know if it will make the whole keyboard broken and cannot be re-assembled back but removing the stand-offs + removing the battery would maybe give it more room to flex? Again, probably a dumb idea but I'm almost tempted to buy one and risk it. Please let me know your thoughts.
Should we test it out 👀
@@via.vincee7686 Hahaha .. I hope you do try it out. That will be an interesting follow-up video.
@@noloboy I'll save you the money and I'll try it out hahahah just gonna take a minute for the video to be made but stay tuned!
@@via.vincee7686 god tier ytber right there, ill be waiting too
@@via.vincee7686 Searched for specifically this! Really want to know if it works out as I wanna give more space to flex but scared of risking breaking the keeb. Looking forward to the video!
what other wireless 75% board with 2.4 ghz would you recommend if not this??
If you really make use of your F-row for daily work, I would say this keyboard would fit your needs. To be fair to the board, it is really functional and good looking, however the sound profile just wasn't my taste! If you don't really use your F-row, I really like the Gamakay LK67, as it has many of the same features as this board, just minus the F-row at a lower price !
@@via.vincee7686 didn’t know about the gamakay. Just what I was looking for, but is there an ISO version of it ?
nice vid
What do the standoffs do in the case?
А где можно купить отдельно поликарбонат пластину ?
I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t care about a softer typing experience lol. Might actually buy this keyboard
what would you recommend at a similar price point? i currently have the tom680 and im looking for an upgrade. Pref 67 or 75 layout :) Thanks
I really enjoy the kbd67lite! Great bang for your buck!
What do you think of the akko mod005? Have you tried it? If I don't mind the north facing will it be a good option? Kbd67lite r3 is out of stock here in my country. :(
@@drew9429 i just built my first build with the mod005 (i have sound test on my channel) and I genuinely love it. Gotta foam and tape mod up because of the aluminium but I really think the build quality is really great and I love the way it sounds and it feels so much more premium compared to a plastic case.
@@via.vincee7686 you guys are crazy, reviewed a 50$ budget boat and recomanding something 3x the price
they all built in the same factory in china, only change is the foam, you can upgrade for cheap
there is no point buying 100+ dollar board, the only thing that increases is not quality, it is the profit the sellers are making
i defo did agree with your statement of this keyboard not really sounding good... until i used some neoprene foam i had lying around and more or less filled the keyboard all the way just enough that i can put the pcb back and holy shit
this keybaord legit sounds like a jelly epoch, try it if you don't believe me, this thing sounds amazing!!!!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll guess I have to try it out now hahaa.
definitely wanna try this mod out if i get this keyboard! how thick was your foam and did you cut out slots for the battery wires?
class video
Thank you so much for watching!
@@via.vincee7686 no stress man ! Look forward to more
it sounds and weighs better with the silicone case and plate foam package available in bangood
Hey! Any idea what polling rate does this keyboard have? Pretty important factor for me as I play a lot of rhythm games.
Hey! I'm not too sure about the polling rate of the board, however when I tried gaming on it wirelessly (valorant) I noticed a bit of lag which caused a but of frustration on my end. Wired in was a bit better! I hope this helps!
@@via.vincee7686 Thanks for the answer!
@@via.vincee7686 Was this bluetooth or using the dongle?
@@MageLordZephyr using the dongle!
apparently it’s 125 hz . i wanna get this but that polling rate bothering me
What are the other keyboards you would recommend that have this same layout?
If you dont need your F-row, I would recommend the Gamakay LK67! If you do need a 75, and have the funds, perhaps the keychron q1 knob edition or even Akko Mod007!
@@via.vincee7686 Only issue with the recommendations is the fact that theyre always sold out and at a higher price point.
@@MichaelMariscal You make a good point, if you want a keyboard "now", this board would absolutely fulfill your needs. But if you have slightly extra funds for something a little nicer, waiting on the aforementioned options wouldn't be a bad idea either.
but do you have 88 wpm on monkey type
Driver does not work to me :/
really pretty keycap
I agree! I just wish that they were not blatant copies of the artists' original work.
@@via.vincee7686 but we have a cheap price :D
are you forget the bottom foam in case before pcb ? 4:15
There are 3 foams that I was aware of, one between the plate and PCB, one directly under the pcb, and one on the bottom case.
I wish it had south facing rgb :(
You didn't mention anything about battery life and wireless performance
Good point! I cannot attest to the battery life as I use the keyboard wired in for most of the day. However as for the connectivity, I noticed sporadic lagging when I would type fast, or even mid-game. Thank you for bringing this up.
For sure is overpriced in your country maybe that is why your review is kinda harsh and why the alternatives you offer don't make sense to some since the recommendations for the same layout with a knob are almost double the price. In the Philippines this board costs 68 USD tops (including shipping from China).
Another thing to consider is that according to Akko, the reason why budget boards from China are still dominantly north facing is that cherry profile keycaps are not that popular there, they prefer OEM or taller profile keycaps.
Yea Im seeing many people comment that it is significantly more affordable in other countries. Had the board been available in the US for $68 I would have absolutely no complaints. It would be a great value actually! Sadly here in the US at almost $100, I cant say that I would buy one, had i not been sent one out to review. Also, thank you for the information on the north facing pcb I actually had no idea!
@@via.vincee7686 bro these are available on AliExpress with free shipping to USA for $70 all day. I’ve had my white one for a few months now and recently ordered a blue one for the same price. I own a Mod 007 and GMMK pro and while they definitely have a more solid feel, no way are they(especially the glorious) over 2x better value.
Where can i find the switches?
Holy Bobas are a Frankenswitch, made of a holy panda stem inside of a Boba U4T housing! Hope this helps!
@@via.vincee7686 ahh thanks! Those should be some pretty expensive switches then! They sound sooo good
Not a big deal but I was hella triggered that during the sound test for the modifier keys you didn't do the backspace key and instead went to the arrow keys.
You're right! I totally forgot to hit the backspace. I'll keep that in mind for the next video.
@@via.vincee7686 production quality is always superb. Thanks for the videos!
Those Fekers sent you the wrong color! I just ordered a "Next Time 75" board which I think is related but wired and has a metal plate only.
This board is like 60$ in my country
$60 seems a lot more reasonable for this keyboard! Do you think it's worth it?
Yikes. I picked it up fully built for like $50 on Walmart’s website. Completely new.
7:18
uh.. lol so no, but yes
im too broke to even achieve this keyboard 🤦🏻♂️
Perhaps the Gamakay LK67 is up your ally?? It's a great budget option!
Yeah, right now this board is $153 - $166 CAD on Amazon vs. the Epomaker Skyline 75 which is only $99. You do get the PC plate with the Feker but still. I went with the Skyline and used the savings for switches and keycaps.
what? I got my ik75 Pro for 50usd here in Philippines
