today’s video is sponsored by luster male i’ve been attempting to get my hands on among these for a minute now this is the r1 i have today i am in for the r2 too as well as we will certainly talk about some essential distinctions in the process i’m mosting likely to inform you everything you need to understand about this board as well as we will speak about it along with the tkc veranda as well as the nk65 access edition as well you prepared let’s go [Songs] so the kbd67 lite r1 originally chose like 105 bucks when you can discover one it currently chooses regarding 135 us putting it well above the nk 65 entry and over the walkway also for transparency i acquired this one today surprising i recognize yet mechanicalkeyboards.com obtained a surprise shipment of these r1’s in that i guess have remained in transportation for a very long time so i was quick to leap on that i was additionally rather shocked to locate out they obtain stuff provided from kbd fans on a rather regular basis different
components like instances pcbs stuff that you require for diy construct so if you can not discover it at kbd fans make certain you examine mechanicalkeyboards.com i will certainly leave an associate web link down in the summary this board gets here in a zippered tough covering situation which have to just be a thing now for access degree boards this is the very best one i’ve seen yet it’s terry fabric lined it feels truly great inside you’ll find some devices spare parts and also some cautions regarding assembly plus a link to the construct guide you’ll also locate a usb 8 a usbc cable too the very same coiled telephone design cable television that we have actually seen with a whole lot of these boards this feels a little thicker than the majority of though i don’t assume any person truly likes these i believe it’s quite secure to say they can quit including them and certainly you get the board itself this is the clear instance materials abs plastic the round one comes completely constructed
prepared to go minus buttons as well as caps i’m not a big follower of this logo on the back however you’re not really mosting likely to be seeing it in operation it’s honestly a toss-up between this and also the walkway batch i really like the geometry on this situation it is a 6 level keying angle it’s basic but the side profile behaves we do get blocking on the arrows you get 4 little bump ons to maintain the board in position and also being so light it does not truly move around on a desk mat however it definitely moves about on like an ikea desktop it uses its own device to reverse the instance top from the base as these are customized screws t6 not a big follower of this but like the veranda there are metal standoffs sunk in the situation which i am a fan of one of the possible concerns with the nk65 is that after you disassemble and also reconstruct the board a couple of times you risk of stripping the threads due to the
fact that those screws go straight right into the plastic inside the board we find a split configuration with foam on the back of the pcb it’s obtained a great thickness seems like the poron strips we see in other boards i like it home plate below is polycarb it’s actually flexible does a good task of diffusing the rgb and the r1 it’s a cnc machined version pcb utilized below is the kbd67 mk2 rgb v2 evidence it’s a great matte black warm swap outlets or kale certainly we have 5-pin assistance southern dealing with sockets as well as per-key rgb however no down-firing leds for underglow wire connection is usb-c it’s left-side installed it is recessed a little some of my wires still have the adapter visible some don’t the r1 features cherry stabilizers pcb install and they do come lubed from the factory resembles a light quantity on the real estate as
well as a reasonable amount of greater thickness grease on the wire it’s rather much impulse now to just quickly pull stock stabs and also either mod or replace them yet i decided to evaluate these before doing a complete construct as well as i was actually amazed like remarkably good right from the factory these even arrive pre-clipped they additionally include some stabilizer pads in package if you want i know that r2 is delivering with kbd’s very own stabs so hopefully the high quality and the experience will be similar word is they start shipping this month i know it can be frustrating when you’re seeing videos such as this that every single time you go to acquire something you see it’s marketed out or it’s just not gettable i additionally comprehend you may be at a point in your budget where 135 bucks for a bare bones doesn’t exactly seem like entry level if you’re totally brand-new to the world of mechanicals i actually recommend you inspect out the webby award-winning radiance the sponsor these days’s video brilliancy is a purchasing tool and browser extension that consolidates item details rates as well as

board a gasket place which is one of the biggest buzzwords we have actually seen come out of custom-made mechanicals over the previous few months we have actually seen it carried out to differing levels of success some excellent some not so a lot this one’s a little bit different in that we’ve obtained a solitary item of silicone that rests in between the plate and also the pcb as well as that offers the gaskets too so it resembles a changed gasket mount the top of the situation likewise has some silicone bumpers placed in there too for this build i opted to choose some penguin tactiles from kinetic labs tactile gang what’s up these are a light mid bump tactile 67 gram springtime weight produced by durock these are hand stem polycarb top and nylon bottom they arrive on lube so i chose some 205 quality zero and gpo 105 on the springs it’s honestly a little thick if i had it to do over once more i ‘d probably opt for something a little thinner specifically if you’re utilizing the lighter 63.5
gram springtimes i have actually truly been focusing on touch keying lately as well as i intended to choose something one-of-a-kind so i got a white on black mt3 set from decline so wow i truly have extremely little unfavorable to claim below in all this may be one of my favored board switch and also cap combos i have actually heard in a while i indicate my only bit of comments is that you’ll probably wish to revisit the stabilizers if you’re mosting likely to run them lengthy term the left change did begin to get some tick on the best side after a few days of typing in regards to the inputting experience the modified gasket place they’re utilizing below does not supply the very same degree of flex that we see in the veranda however unlike something like the redemption it’s not really evident while you’re keying particularly if you’re not hammering on the tricks like the walkway it’s an actually dampened sound as well as a really comfortable keying feel and i don’t obtain a great deal of instance
vibration or hollow noise yet the walkway has like a soft plasticy noise it’s actually clean yet it’s sort of lifeless practically no matter your button or cap combo it manages to take the considered of a few of my thunkiest buttons as well as the nk 65 has that huge deep reduced end which i personally still get a little bit of below it’s possibly assisted by that mt3 account which i have actually actually been delighting in for typing not video gaming it is close yet i think i ‘d personally take this over the portico for two main reasons leading kbd fans truly recognizes their method around how to manufacture a keyboard as well as a pcb they do this a great deal so i assume i would certainly rely on the quality assurance of kbd followers over tkc and also number 2 i simply truly like the acoustics of this board walkway does have underglow which does not truly hit doesn’t really offer you that full impact you do obtain color matched c3 equal stabilizers though i assume the kbd67 light has the far
better looking plate both have using as well as qmk support both have screw in stabs both have blocking on the arrows so it is quite close and i ran the walkway in normal rotation for some time too i simply personally really feel like this board edges the porter code because of acoustics and also the much more appealing instance geometry like that side account there however extra fairly i do not really believe you can go wrong either means that leaves the mk65 presently routing the pack with its absence of steel situation equipment no stopping or spacing on the arrowheads and it’s plate place stabs it is worth claiming that the nk 65 was initially to the event on these entry-level plastic 65 boards so it should schedule for a refresh and also i still have yet to obtain my hands on the icky 68 aurora yet i need to have one arriving truly soon as always links down below for whatever we discussed today any kind of inquiries hit me in the remarks and that’s it for this moment i’m brian p many thanks so a lot for viewing do not neglect to strike that like switch hit that sub button and until next time stay up you
