The Best Silent Keyboard I've Ever Built | The NK65 - Entry Edition

This NK65 - Entry Edition Keyboard from NovelKeys checks a lot of boxes for me. Amazing retro, yet modern look, incredible feel, and a silent sound. When designing this build, I took heavy inspiration from Nintendo items, specifically the purple/ indigo color-vibe gameboy advance. And I think this is the best keyboard I've ever built to-date.

Really great video! I love the vibe. Just a few suggestions that I think could be helpful - to keep more of the tactile bump, Tribosys 3203 is generally recommended for tactiles. Krytox 205g0 is usually used on linears. Of course, it’s all preference though! It’s also always a good idea to support the back of the hotswap sockets when putting switches into the PCB so that you don’t damage any.

great production quality ngl, i also wanted to make a kb recently with the u4s' crazy coincidence lol

This literally sounds like a topre board! Great build...

Awesome build! PBTFans Atomic Purple would be perfect if you're looking to go all-in on the nostalgia factor.

With production value this high you could make the 2015 MacBook Pro butterfly keyboard look good.

Great video for newbies like myself. What do you think of the U4s, as I’m also considering those, and the sound you’ve created? Did you achieve the sound you were after?

[madebynt]

What backdrop is this and what did you use to hold it on? You should also add it to your description :(
