I really love this keyboard, and everything that I was able to make out of it. I got mine in Coyote, with SA Drop+T0mb3ry Carbon keycaps paired with KPRepbulic Cherry MX Ergo Clear switches, I couldn't ask for a better feel and sound. The look and feel is just simply amazing. I did run into a slight issue in which I am going to try and work out with Drop in which after about 12 days, all but 1 RGB underglow LEDs quit working. I searched the internet to find out that several other people are experiencing the same issue, which seemed to have been purchased around the same time as mine, I wonder if there was a bad batch of PCB's, so just keep that in mind, I cant give it 5 stars for this reason, as after spending the money I spend to build out this board I would expect that the LEDs would stay working for longer than 12 days.
I was eyeing this keyboard for a while now.
I really liked the Coyote color and when i saw that some one put some WoB keycaps on it, i was reminded that i had some DOMIKEY WoB keycaps that i never ended up using for a build.
The only thing that was holding me back was the HHKB layout. I never used it, i love my big ass ISO Enter, so i couldn't justify spending the money for a keyboard that i might end up hating.
At the end of March i ended up with some extra money, and with a discount i was able to buy it for $100.
The kit itself is nice, with some extra screws and stuff.
This build was my fastest so far and after 5-10 minutes of fine tuning in VIA i was ready to go.
I saw that the PCB has per switch LEDholes, in the future i might end up adding some, but with a quick hot swap build i couldn't bother picking up the soldering iron.
So far i really like it, i need to get used to the layout and the Kailh Hako Royal Clears.
Also get the diffuser.
If you are looking for an easy build at an extremely reasonable price point, this is your board. For being an aluminum body, the Tokyo60 is super lightweight. It is very much plug and play once built, and super easy to customize with VIA. I am surprised the acrylic RGB diffuser didn’t come as standard, as you can’t see the under lights at all without it when built. I ended up grabbing that component afterwards from Amazon. All in all, it’s a very nice board. Definitely lube the included stabilizers. I paired my Tokyo60 with silent switches, based on previous reviews of loudness.
Great looks and the blue is gorgeous. Definitely get the diffuser. As others have written, it is stiff and hollow. Looking forward to experimenting with different switches, keycaps and polyfill to change up the feel and sound.
I really love it, especially the LED insert which looks so nice :D
So far I've been using the UK layout with small tweaks, but I'm (slowly) getting used to the HHKB one. Namely, the 7U spacebar still feels weird. Obviously, this has nothing to do with the keyboard, which I really love. Programming it with qmk works great, no worries there.,.
This board is old school in the sense that it’s stiff and hollow. This board has been around for ages and hasn’t implemented modern meta of soft springy boards.
that being said it’s exactly what I wanted! I have since added silicone plate dampeners and polyfill to fill the empty space internally and it now sounds how I like it with, currently using silent tactiles and it feels like it’s akin to an HHKB which is neat.
ano is good. Machining could be a bit better though especially the current offering from budget boards like neo and tofu in a similar price range.
