Noir Spade65 Showcase
Noir Spade65 Aluminum Case Gasket Mount Color variant: Titanium Grey Original Switches: Comes with KTT KU Brown Tactile Original Keycaps: PBT Dyesub Plate: PC Connection: wired type c, bluetooth 5.0, wireless 2.4GHz Bonuses: - Carrying case - Neat little metal card with a link to their website - Coiled cable + straight cable - Filled with various foam layers, pretty much packed in with them, no need for additional modding - You have the option to change the PCB layout but you have to get new plates
Price for everything: Around 120 USD new, but I got it for 100 nearly new, only used for a review
Replaced switches with: TTC Neptune Linear (lubed) around 50 USD for 70 switches Replaced keycaps with: I don't remember, quite an old set that I bought long ago, as can be seen from the coloring on some of the keys lol
Overall, I'm very satisfied for $100 (or 120) even without the upgraded switches. I haven't really been in touch with the keyboard community in a few years until recently, so this was my first build in quite a while. It made me realize how far the community has come with prebuilt board. It feels premium, sounds amazing, multiple connection options, and comes with a bunch of goodies for only $120. I remember building a $200 keyboard from scratch (well, almost scratch) 5 years ago and this still sounds and feels better.
I'll post a sound test in the comments later because reddit doesn't seem to allow posts with both image and video for some reason.
