julimgSo it turns out you have to flash the keyboard with the hex file containing the full factory feature set yourself. After that you can change the RGB settings.
Bought this direct from Idobao’s website when I just started in the hobby. This thing has an integrated plate so any switch you put on it will sound the same.. It has a very hollow sound and using foam won’t do much. The cutouts for the stabilizer are very small. I used durock v2 and they wouldn’t fix so I had to file down the stabs. A slow and painstaking process. There are a lot better options out there, look elsewhere.
I just read about a crystal version of this board - just like the ID80 that's currently for sale on Drop, but TKL. I wonder if Drop will get that version at some point, or a kit version.
Somewhat. It depends on how thick you pour it. I did it on my son's Tofu 60 acrylic case and it came out nice but that is frosted (not fully translucent). Still, if you're careful and tape things off well, DIY silicone dampening comes out very nice.
I feel like with Glorious GMMK Pro being $170 all the TKL over that price are really hard to recommend unless you really need a red, or purple board.
If this was before GMMK Pro this would be great.
You're completely right about the foam. The integrated plate is stable and rigid but the sound is very loud and hollow without something to manage it. The ID80 has a similar design and the same issue. It's manageable with foam or similar, but the extra work is something to consider when making a decision for sure.
That said, this isn't a bad choice. It looks good and will probably behave itself. I've been happy with the ID80 and this is a good price for what it is and if you want to build and tinker with a board it's a decent option.
