Bought another keyboard from taobao.

This time is the leobog hi75. Together with mmd princess v2 tactile switches. Really like this tactile feel and the sounds of the keys is very marbly and loud. Much louder than the Aula f75.

Another red version coming next few days.
Probably will pair that with mmd princess linear switches or graywood v3 switches.

Cheap aluminum board sounds damn good

yea its amazing right? its quite heavy for a plastic board at 1.2kg due to the dampening layers that come with the board, other plastic keyboards weigh about 700gram to 800 gram i believe. U like the sounds from it?

how much u paid for it?

i mean if u buy via shopee/lazada, probably cost $60 to $80.

If u have access to taobao, it can cost between $30 to $40 plus. really a steal. I enjoy typing on it.

You can just swap out the keycaps to a nicer keycap style/color/profile and it will look premium already.
any reputable taobao link? Which key caps do you recommend?

any good for value keyboard to recommend that is not noisy?

I have two Cherry Silent Red keyboards at home, one of which is at the corner of my bedroom though work desk is somewhat partitioned. Do note that the bottoming out is more mushed less clicky tactile, but still a good deal more feel than membranous ones.

I use browns in office, and a blue in my mancave so I can feel alive and annoy the s**t out of myself. :crazy:

Aula F75. Quite viral promoting in tiktok and youtube. U can go search.

Cheap board that comes already with all the necessary mod that most ppl do, so only thing u can change are keycaps and switches. But their default linear switches are good if u like thocky sound signature. The ice vein and reaper switches are linear and thocky.

i just ordered the reaper from taobao

ice vein hard to find too popular already

currently now after i use hi75, comparing it to Aula F75,

i prefer the sound signature of the Hi75, i guess the dampening layers use in hi75 coupled with the aluminium board makes each key presses sound abit louder.

I bought 2 sets of Hi75. Use MMD Princess V2 Linear switch on one set and MMD Princess V2 Tactile swtiches on another HI75. those switches are generally also louder on its own. I also use those switches on the Aula F75 and its louder than both reaper and ice vein. I kinda like these MMD princess switches now and have been using the Hi75 more often than the Aula especially for work where i type alot.

I will change to the Aula F75 when fps gaming as the Ice Vein switches require lesser force to press. i believe operating force of 26 grams only so its easier when strafing in fps games where one need to constantly press A and D.

Great board, using Hi75 myself too.
If you don't like that big red knob, can easily replace it with a replacement, taobao selling bundle less than 4dollars have 4 knobs options transparent, white, black, etc
