Seems like the firmware upgrade page is down, so for the time being, you'll have to join their discord server and find it there 💀
-
Great review as usual, this is the first one I've seen that mentions the lube leaking out and changing the sound over time. Definitely very important point as the hype seems to be around how good it sounds and that seems temporary
-
I just want to say based off personal experience the akko mod007b HE with kailh sakura pink switches sound WAY better than the cream yellows. Not sure how Akko dropped the ball with their own switches but definitely give the kailh switches a try if you ever get the chance
-
AFAIK there have been people that have bricked this keyboard already
-
your channel is insane what the heck, good review
-
heard what you said about this video's performance from the Akko HE video and thought I should let you know this review was greatly appreciated as someone who had a toss up between the boog and the wooting for my first rapid trigger board , as I decided to go with the boog for various reasons you listed
-
I really appreciate your review! It's the first time I've heard some constructive criticisms of the Boog75. I'm really curious, about the key failures you mention.... I cannot find any information on the state of KS37B, frequency of it dying, or any kind of replacement part. Assuming that a replacement DOES arrive at some point (KS37C or something else), do you think it's likely to be user-replacable? Do you still feel the same way about waiting? Does something maybe exist already?
-
Thanks for telling us about the noise getting worse over time. It kind of sucks honestly as its one of the main reasons to get this so whats the point. Hopefully in the future it will be compatible with a switch that doensn't have this issue.
-
Great review Jake!! I've always had the BOOG75 in my sight but money is tight. One day though, it'll be on my desk
-
Know you're not going to answer, but want to know what MCU(s) does this keyboard use.
-
It's hard to review rapid triggers as you have to experience it to know the difference lol but good review as always Jake, btw when is the Incott GHero review coming? Still torn between that or the VXE R1 Pro Max as I already have a Lamzu Atlantis so I'm skeptical of having another claw grip mouse. The ones included in my rotation right now is the Xlite V2 Mini, Mchose A5 Pro Max and the Lamzu Atlantis OG.
-
Were you able to do any measurements of power requirements with those little USB tools? I wonder if it's just the power requirements. These RGB+sensor combination IC the KS37 uses are connected to each other in series, so I think it's more likely that one or more break and break the chain. We've heard these IC are quite fragile compared to separate sensor.
-
Banger video as usual, also, will ghero get a review of his own?!? 🧐🧐🧐🧐
-
seen a couple of your videos and i can tell you its just a matter of time untill your channel grows...keep it up man
-
i wish there was wireless version. Is there anything with lower front height, steeper typing angle, also he, and wireless (layout: non expoled 65 or 70 with macros / 75 / "75" like odin75 / 80)? Or maybe i could get some he internals and the case separately?
-
I steel prefer 60%/65% like size....i also tried wooting 60he despite doesn't have an aluminum case included and is very great ... the software and also the customization are good......i bought tofu60 like aluminum case....if you is it compatible with steelseries apex pro mini? boog75 has a good sound but i I heard they offer zero customer support and i don't like the rgb with those keycaps
-
So funny… my boog75 asd keys sound different and it’s brand new… were they gaming with it before shipping?
-
You usually don't use a lot of lube for switches anyway, so the amount of lube that leaves the switch is just the excess. What you hear should be how the switch sounds with a proper amount of lube and it would still sound weak AF anyway because of the holes. Using the switches over time will wear the plastic down to a smoother state so it's all good. Also, if you do switch back to mechanical implementation, I would recommend trying to keep the SOLID NON-FLEX CUT plate that came with the HE pcb. Better sound without ever needing foam. Flex cuts are terrible for sound and getting any flex on an aluminum plate sounds like a meme.
-
hi, and if you do not turn on the RGB backlight on the atk 68, this may help to avoid the problem?
-
This or the akko mod007v3 HE year of the dragon?
