This Budget Keyboard is ALMOST Flawless
Am I retarded or the Alphine65 with no mod sounds the best?
I think it’s just me, I actually got tired of hearing the “creamy” sound because I hear it everyday and I’d prefer a new sound profile because of that
Guys do this at your risk. My keyboard started gliching and I can bearly type anymore on my keyboard. I dont know how but it started gliching and I decided to remove it but it did nothing.
These reviews built like a video essay goes hard 😭
AW hell naw!
Got this for 170€ from a retailer (versus 200€ on direct) for on-the-road usage (competitive games and studying), and it's been very satisfactory. Would definitely love to see more brands invest into innovation in the low profile space, but it's understandably a niche (within a niche).
Nice quality video. Love the shots 🔥. I have a question. That is a name of that mouse?
bro made a hollywood production about a keyboard
Used to get a good cheap kbd for $20, $100 is not budget
It's a custom board. You're in the wrong neighborhood talking about $20 keyboards. $100 is budget in the custom scene.
Sound 💓💗❤️❤️🔥
What does the finish of the neo80 feel like? I got a qk65 and didn't like that it felt like a chalk board, on the other hand the mode envoy is just insanely smooth and great to touch. So I'm on the fence about getting a neo board if it'll have the same type of finish as a qk series board
It sounds like the yunzii al66
is there any impact on the performance/latency?
Womier sk-75
Is the budget in the room with us
Is this available in the US/Canada? I've been looking for it but on the vendors for NA on the official website don't have the keyboard on their respective sites lol
Divinikey has it in the US.
freaky ah mod names 💀
why the fck i pay and have to assemble the damn thing as well
that is how custom keyboards work.
now compare it with Rainy75 with pros and cons of each.
idk which to get
@@stetchkov whichever sell in your local area. its risky to buy internationally and theare will be tax...
I want a thocky keyboard similar to the original QK75, any suggestions? If my ears serve me right, this QK75N sounds more on the clacky side of the spectrum. Am I right to say that? I wish I didn't miss the original QK75. I want a poppy thock.
do your fingers accidentally hit those light diffusers when you're typing?
Nice vid mate
It's funny that the box the bridge comes in is the exact same as the rainy
So many ignorant commenters lol! Anyways I really appreciate you shared your in depth thoughts on sound and feels.
no pcb mounted stabs support?
3:54 you can see holes for pcb mounted stabs on the pcb
Not a fan of the bright red button but the latch mechanism is cool
Hope u can do crush80 in the next video Love u vid ❤
Really nice video as usual! But why is it for you the best 75% right know? What about the Chilkey ND75 or the Womier SK75? They are all pretty similar, what sets the Bridge apart for you?
I don't know of any aluminum keyboard that offers an HE PCB at this price point, which is something I've been looking into. Hopefully the HE version delivers.
Eh board. There are better options imo at this price point
I'm in the market for a keyboard like this. Can you name those better options? I'm new to this hobby so I would like to choose carefully
@saviour7431 around 150? Theres a good amount of boards. The new nd75 is aight, the zoom75 and neo65 are all good boards that can be found within that range. Oh, the galaxy80 by epomaker is decent too
I owned and build hundreds of keyboard from budget to expensive. Nowadays budget keyboards are getting better and better. I ordered the ND75 from Chilkey, less than a $100usd. After watching couple of reviewers specially Scott from keybored, ND75 is bang for your buck, from sounds and customization, the only caveat (not actually) is no VIA and it has they’re owned software to remapping your keys and the shipping is takes a while specially with the non flex cut version.
@makata_pro1698 i agree with you. Its a great board. However the 1.2 mm flexcut just aint it for me, no matter how great a board is that will always be a complete deal breaker for me. I do still think its a great entry level board and it's all personal preference anyways
@makata_pro1698 i apparently just learned that there IS a 1.6mm non flex cut version. Yep this automatically puts the board on the top of the budget list, crazy!
meme cuts should be banned
Wheeeeeere can i buy this
I don’t know about the title. There are so many amazing 75% options in the $100-150 range that offer amazing value.
What would you say the best ones are in that price point? Aluminum case, via/qmk, multiple mounting options, hot swap
Try Chilkey ND75 Probably the one con is non-VIA/QMK, but has QK/Neo features
I personally don’t consider VIA/QMK support a must have at this price point. I run all my macro’s on a stream deck due to the display buttons and practically infinite layering so I tend to just set my keyboard’s firmware once to change the RGB to white and then forget it. With that in mind, I think the leobog hi75 is an excellent choice if you love your volume knobs like me. Otherwise the Chillkey ND75 also sticks out just due to how easy it is to disassemble and play around with. Both are ~$100 prebuilt and look excellent for the money.
The ND75 not using QMK/VIA or similar is an immediate no go for me. I've been down that path in the past and it's a deal breaker. There have been boards in this price range with VIA for a few years now (I bought a Cidoo V65 V2 full built for $85 for instance). Also the magnetic connectors are such an afterthought on that board it's crazy looking to me. Idk, I'd rather spend the money for a Neo if that's what I cared about. Personally I'd take this Bridge 75 over the ND75. Trading a afterthought magnetic connector and a rather pointless LCD (I'll take keys instead thanks).
@@jgould30 Completely understandable. I definitely do prefer open source software when available. I would probably consider it a requirement if I was shopping in the $200+ range or if I already had a larger collection of boards that I was trying to manage. I do find it kind of funny that my $40 AJAZZ AKS068 was able to include VIA support while many $100 keyboards are still holding on to proprietary firmware. The magnetic connectors on the ND75 may be an after thought, but I do find it to be a very convenient one for a constantly evolving board. I am still testing out what I like most in a keyboard so it makes a good experimental board. Though I definitely agree that the screen is pointless. Wish they had used that real estate to implement a knob instead.
I literally yelled out “oh shit!” As soon as the typing test started! I’m impressed
Ah, the foams make it sound so full
No love for ISO users...
thank goodnees 🙏
Apparently they're looking into making an EU version according to their discord.
Crazy to see this quality of boards at this price point, especially prebuilt! Bummer about the flexcut PCB, but it’s a huge win that these support VIA! QMK/VIA support needs to be the standard imo.
the flex cuts limit it far too much
These seem pretty good for the price!
The budget 75% layout scene is so competitive! Now, I don't know which to choose 😵💫
Second!!
First
ND75 will blow this keyboard to the water
LMAO Highest tech.. with no RGB or lighting? Not for me, but come on...
5:58 i think alice layouts should have 2 Ys as well, like the B.
Well… 150$ after taxes in EU… 💀
ok im just curious why is it that the people who aren't into keyboards, custom keyboards I mean, always show the same keyboard in every video. They'll have Grovemade, Orbitkey, Deltahub, Flexispot, Ergonofis and most of the time, prebuilts like Keychron, Iquinix, Nuphy, and Logitech, but then when it comes to custom keyboards, they always only show 1 particular keyboard brand, Mode keyboards. and sometimes Luminikey. Why is that? Is Mode somewhere being promoted on kickstarter or something. Literally every desk setup video i've seen, these people will have prebuilt keyboards and then the exception of Mode. Why is it that I only see Mode everywhere. It''s literally posted by everyone who isn't into keyboards for some reason. What I mean is you don't see Jelly Epoch, or FoxLab, or qk65, or zoom65, or time80, or space65, etc being seen. What makes the Mode so special? It's so bizarre. These desk setup youtubers always show the same exact products from one another and they always own the same product
From everything I've heard of this board, it definitely punches above its weight.
