In this video, we dissect #KBDFans incredibly successful #KBD67lite (R3): an entry-level 65%, “quasi” gasket-mounted, hot-swappable injection molded mechanical keyboard targeted at enthusiasts on a budget. ⭐⭐⭐This video is sponsored by PCBWay⭐⭐⭐ When you're ready to produce your next custom keyboard's PCB, plate, metal or injection molded case, PCBWay can bring your designs to life! 👉Get $5 off your first PCBWay order by using my affiliate link: https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=486900 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Welcome to another I/O Sam "endeavor"! Today we’ll break the KBD67 Lite from @KBDfans to its core (design, features, quality, software and sound) and try to answer the question: after 1 and 1/2 year and four group-buys later, is this keyboard still worth its $110~$130 price in today’s custom keyboard's entry-level market? In the sound test chapters, we’ll try it with both linear (CIY Red) and tactile (Gazzew Boba U4T) lubed switches, as well as ABS (Domikey Triple-shot WoB) and PBT (KAT Dice) keycaps. We’ll also try a DIY silicone mod to see how that affects the sound and typing feel of this keyboard. Kick back, relax and come along on yet another I/O Sam voyage into the ever more fascinating world of #MechanicalKeyboards! 🟠 MAIN FEATURED PRODUCTS: KBDFans Lite R4: (KBDFans)👉 https://kbdfans.com/r?id=mvk5ui KBDFans Lite R3: (MechanicalKeyboards.com)👉 https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9072&creator=iosam (creator code: "iosam" ) KBDfans PE Foam Pads: World (KBDFans)👉 https://kbdfans.com/r?id=l6oo5c US (Divinikey)👉 https://bit.ly/kbdfanspe CIY Evolution Red Linear Switches👉 https://fave.co/3aR1Gdk Gazzew Boba U4T👉 https://fave.co/3MIseKV Wowstick Electric Screwdriver: (Bangood)👉 https://www.banggood.com/custlink/3DGEOqG8uy (Amazon)👉 https://amzn.to/3iiArsC 🟠 SOCIAL LINKS: Web: https://www.iosamfranco.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/iosamfranco Mastodon: https://bitbang.social/@iosam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iosamfranco Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/io_sam Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iosamfranco YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/iosam 🟠 PARTIAL LIST OF PRODUCTS LINKS: - Domikey WoB Cherry Profile ABS keycap: https://amzn.to/3zCJSNy - Wooden Palm Rest for Keychron Q1/Q2: https://amzn.to/3qWXkq6 - Mstone Black Crystal Wrist Rest: https://fave.co/3btN2WA - Krytox 205 grade 2: https://amzn.to/3GDHAkk | https://ebay.us/zttJch - Krytox 205 grade 0: https://bit.ly/3FS1nw1 | https://fave.co/413mV19 - Krytox 105: https://amzn.to/2NjBSuB | https://ebay.us/L2Bf31 - Krytox XHT-BDZ: https://bit.ly/xhtbdz2 - Micro Brushes (for lubing switches): https://amzn.to/3iUsQkr - Nylon Hair Brush Set: https://amzn.to/3rUYMr1 - Mstone Acrylic Switch Lube Station: https://fave.co/37Ne21h - Aluminium Switch Opener -- Kailh/MX Type: https://amzn.to/2Uq4ohu - KBDFANS X AI03 2-IN-1 Aluminum Switch Opener: https://kbdfans.com/r?id=rpgrn0 - Silicone Mold Making Kit: https://amzn.to/3mHffi6 - Xool Tweezers Set: https://amzn.to/3rPrE3X - Jeweler Pick-Up Tool: https://amzn.to/3b01qFq - Cutting Mat: https://amzn.to/3qgNHjS - Gazzew Boba U4 (silent): https://fave.co/3MLLqYs - Glorious Panda: https://gloriousgaming.pxf.io/panda | https://amzn.to/39ithTR - Drop Holy Panda: https://fave.co/3mcRvDs | https://amzn.to/38GeG4d 🟠 FULL LIST OF FEATURED PRODUCTS LINKS: 👉 https://www.iosamfranco.com/post/kbd67-lite 🟠 MY KEYBOARD TYPING SOUND RECORDING SETUP: 👉 https://bit.ly/iosamtyping 🟠 REFERENCE VIDEOS MENTIONED: My Tech Fun - Ultimate comparison: Polymaker PolyLite filaments👉 https://youtu.be/HMXTeuhShaA @optimumtech - My Best Sounding Keyboard - NK65 Entry Cream👉 https://youtu.be/5iOoGitWXDY 🟠 REFERENCE LINKS: KBDFans warranty👉 https://kbdfans.com/policies/refund-policy 🟠 TIME CODES: 00:00 - 1) Intro 02:06 - 1.1) Video briefing 02:51 - 1.2) Disclaimers 03:30 - 2) KBD67 Lite R3 05:43 - Sponsored Content: https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=486900 06:44 - 3) The layout 07:21 - 4) The build quality and design 07:26 - 4.1) The case 08:24 - 4.2) The PCB 09:29 - 4.3) The lighting 11:02 - 4.4) The software (QMK & VIA) 12:09 - 4.5) The sound damping 13:21 - 4.6) The plate 15:29 - 4.7) The stabs 16:43 - 5) The assembly 19:02 - 6) The measurements 19:54 - 7) The looks 20:43 - 8) Configurations tested 24:03 - 9) Stock (+ PE foam pads) typing sound test 25:29 - 9.1) Typing sound test analysis (stock + PE foam pads) 27:32 - 10) Modding the KBD67 Lite 28:32 - 11) Modded typing sound tests 29:08 - 11.1) Typing sound test analysis (modded) 29:36 - 12) Conclusion 29:41 - 12.1) Feel and sound 30:34 - 12.2) Overall quality, price and value 31:51 - 12.3) Availability 33:21 - 12.4) Competitive analysis 35:28 - 12.5) Target market 36:50 - 13) Outro
