You guys have your nose on the ground sniffing out the latest trends in mechs, but end up executing things in the most tone-deaf fashion. No self-respecting keyboard enthusiast wants a kit with switches and caps included and almost everyone who actually wants switches and keycaps included doesn't even know what a gasket mount is. You could've kept the overpriced switches and BoW caps off and at least tried to match the taobao prices with a barebones kit, but here we are again.

And well beware, too many experts can kill a hobby.... Some people here obviously missed the point they could get the barebones kit directly from IDOBAO after all. Why complain about a kit that wasn't meant for them. Just saying.

PrimeDefendrI'm have to order something from them to get a feel for myself. This kit is ok for people getting into the hobby a tad expensive though.

Looks kind of cheap, like breakable. And $300+ is way to much for ugly looking keyboard. Clearly this is not for me, not only because price tag but the looks, the layout also is not one of my favorites. I can´t see why anyone want to spend $300 on this, there is beautiful and more practical kits out there, even here on Drop.

DaeronicusI promise you, the Poly is a more durable plastic than ABS. But more expensive. Look at the Mode SixtyFive for instance... The poly build cost $35 more than the full alum build... Poly allows for a deeper sound signature as well. Even ABS cases allow for a more thocky sound than any alum board I've heard thus far. Look at a KBD67 Lite and compare it to the KBD67 V3 case. I have owned both and I prefer the ABS case > the Alum case solely based on the flex and sound signature the ABS case had that the Alum case did not... Also; the switches alone cost nearly $100. This is a steal...

kahlilncI prefer a wooden case over ABS, because of the sound and feel, but I do prefer modding the case to achieve the sound I like over buying overpriced kits. I understand this is a niche and you will pay premium tax for something unique, but I am like those guys that change keycaps, switches and cases all the time, I cant use one mix for too long. Also my wallet doesn´t allow me to dive much deeper into this hobby so I have to use what I can. Usually I pick a kit under 100 usd with all the characteristics that i need and one or two cases that I would like to use, then I focus on switches and keycaps, I already have the core so now I can focus on typing. To try new switches, a nice keycap set and I'm done.
This kit may be a deal for some of you and thats is valid because it adjust to your needs, maybe is just one more for the collection. I am not into that, I don´t collect keyboards, but I do occasionally buy cases/keycaps that I could put together to spice up my keyboard. What I am most interested of all is the pcb, that's is the one piece that will allow me to have a better experience at building and using the keyboard and It may be this way for a lot of you guys here.
The point here, and I know it may be upsetting, is why I should spent 300+ in something that I would not be using that much anyway, this hobby is about customization, there is not one keyboard to rule them all, is all about personal taste. So if this keyboard is to your liking then buy it, but take in consideration why, I think if you pay 300+ usd for a keyboard you better use it. Not the same for keycaps, keycaps are love.

ThomasXThe plastic is very smooth and clear, which looks pretty awesome irl. It's really hard to take photos to show off the plastic's clarity.

Dude $300 for IDOBAO poly board?. You have to be kidding, that thing looks so cheap it's laughable. Even the new Keychron Q1 seems leagues better.

Would love to see a GLASS moulded keyboard case here. Even Crystal faceted design with thick edges should indeed make it one of the heaviest keyboards around ; )
GLASS would indeed be unique due to its ability (more so for the moulder) to manipulate the glass into a rectangle shape, like glassblowing. Without the blowing here, unless we have some who works in that field to chime in.
Imagine having a keyboard case that would last for centuries or thousands of years, even when radiative dust is piled upon it in the near future.....

Did they fix the gasket mount issue? What I heard is the gaskets on this board are not thick enough to hold the case?

I like the wrist rest and the switches. But not the keycaps. Possible if you provide an option to exclude the caps set?

YojoUnfortunately the bundle is how we were able to negotiate and land at the competitive price. I understand it's not ideal, but keycaps can always be changed out ;)

If you are ok with longer shipping times you can buy this same kit for $50 less (at time of writing) on Idobao's website. https://www.idobao.net/products/idobao-transparent-acrylic-id80-keyboard-kit?variant=34240839975043
