Found this in an estate sale with a ton of software and stereo gear. Never seen one like it and have not had any luck finding others like it online.

My first soldered PCB build. Initially terrified I was going to ruin it but actually an enjoyable process and love the end result. Sounds amazing and delicious to type on.

Just finished my first custom keyboard build with Gateron Oil Kings on an aluminum plate. The assembly was a fun learning experience, and I love the smooth switches, solid feel, and crisp sound.

I finished this build today very proud of it.

Base: CNC’d Forged Carbon fiber
Plate: Lazer cut Carbon fiber plate
Switches: Hand lubed Gateron Oil king
Keycaps: Forged carbon fiber texture double shot PBT.
Foam: 3 layers PORON

The PCB is terrible and needs to be replaced at some point but for now it works.
The Stab rattle is crazy and needs to be addressed.
But damn it looks awesome.

Keycaps Mix

Im looking for my 3rd unit on Silver, I hope you like them as much as I do.

First couple of months were fun and flawless. Until the stabilizers kept sounding pingy inconsistent and just bad in general. So I had to upgrade the stabilizers then a month later I went and upgraded the cheap abs keycaps and since then its been flawless

On another note is that the keyboard software is kind of really bad and just finicky. I hate the silver metal top plate because my keyboard is black it looks bad. Since the top plate is metal it kind of makes everything sound a little worst. the remainder is good tho the switches sound like what they did a year ago its he and aluminum.

would I buy it again? no.. it costed me like 120 when I bought it and then I had to upgrade stabilizers and get new keycaps. It was definitely a bad idea and I strongly believe in looking for other companies and keyboards. 20000%

let me know if you have any other questions ill try answering

I've been wanting EVO75 First Light for almost a year, absolutely loved the silver tint on their ads.

So I finally saved enough to buy it, and was so excited when it arrives. But the color turned out was so off. It was more of a rose or pink tinted rather than silver, which felt closer to Sand Gold, its another line.

So disappointed...

Around 2020-2021 during quarantine, I discovered custom keyboards for the first time and I was longing for one, but however was way too expensive (because I was young). In around 2023 I bought my first "mechanical" keyboard (The drunkdeer a75 pro, the middle right one) and I loved it, around mid 2025, I bought the lucky 65 as my first budget custom and I loved it even more. Around this year I finally decided to buy my first premium board, the mode sonnet black sesame 2026 version and my first GMK set (GMK ZX), and since then I've been on a roll buying keyboards.

From top left to right

1. Neo60cu (Retro white, copper bottom) with GMK Monochrome r2 that was discolored + pbt Rainbow 7u pbt spacebar with HMX yoghurt S linears.

2. Lucky 65 (silver), with stock pbt keycaps and Holy Pandas.

3. Mode Sonnet 2026 Version (Black Sesame) with GMK ZX and Keygeek PA's with HMX yoghurt s linears on the spacebar.

4. Drunkdeer a75 pro (Black), with random pbt 9009 keycaps and stock HE switches.

5. Ramaworks U80-a (soy) with GMK Tiramisu and HMX Cloud v1s

6. Smurve 80 (Sandstone) with MMD princess v4 tactiles, PBT rainbow + GMK monochrome 7u spacebar (wasn't discolored) and a cat paw artisan.

Just wanted to report this here in case anybody else like me tries to google the issue.

I bought the Evo80 (PP + Neo) a little over a month ago and was really confused with the RGB modes as the lighting was super inconsistent, constantly flickering, and the top row wouldn't turn off when turning the backlight off. Eventually I figured it was just a defect so I returned it for a full refund and ordered another one.

I just got it today and.... it has the same issues. Constant flickering lights at random intervals BUT at least I can actually turn off the backlight and the patterns actually do seem to work somewhat. Just wish the issues with the lighting wasn't so jarring.

Otherwise I do love the feel of the keyboard, I'm coming from the Keychron Q6 MAX and in terms of typing experience this is a personal upgrade for me. I'm frankly not willing to pay for shipping again so unfortunately don't plan on going through a second return. The QC issue definitely is warding me away from ever purchasing another one!

Hello my friend.

Soma immediately changed the plan. Instead of attacking NOXEYE head on, he ordered Renko and Morphex to keep moving in different directions, forcing hundreds of eyes to constantly shift their focus. For a brief instant, the creature's attention scattered, exposing the silent eye hidden at its center. The three warriors unleashed everything they had into a single strike that pierced through the enormous mouth and shattered the unmoving eye. Instantly, every other eye cracked apart, and NOXEYE's body collapsed into ash. The underworld began to crumble, and a black crystal known as the NOXEYE Core floated toward Renko as the reward for defeating the ancient entity. Oridus' ship roared back to life and escaped the collapsing dimension. As the stars came back into view, a mysterious signal appeared far beyond the horizon of space, silently pointing them toward their next adventure.

Thank you all so much for always supporting and standing by the team!

My first full custom build with the Athena 75, partly foamed, carbon fibre plate, PBC mount stabs, gasket mount PCB, Gateron banana smoothie pre lubed switches, topped off with PBTfans purpolch r4 keycaps and a awekeys copper accent key.

An abomination.

* Tofu60 Redux Acrylic O-ring mount

* Waffling60 solder pcb

* TX stabs

* Amazon aluminum plate

* Kbdfans Roller V2

* GMK Windbreaker

* Sneakbox 15u

I accidentally purchased the nontray mount pcb and had to switch to oring...so to keep the ring stretched out to the edges, I used the bottom housing of some sacrificial milky yellows. Removed the contact points and snipped the side rails for clearance.

Surprisingly, the spacebar is pretty leveled and even with a 7u stabilizer. No ticking at all. Just used more lube and grease.

Hope y'all like it.

They look like Minecraft wolves and rabbits. 2 bunnies even look like they pissed themselves.

Prior to obtaining the foundation base kit, I was convinced this was not gonna look that good without accents. Now I can’t bring myself to put them on there. So clean. Also, I’m sure somebody knows what to call this toy that came in a package from China last week. Any ideas? You push its bonnet down and its face changes.

The new wireless Init40 keyboard was kindly provided to me by Chosfox for hardware and software testing and review purposes so I added the promotional tag. All views expressed are however my own and I received no other compensation than the keyboard. These are my early impressions of this little keyboard.

The Init40 has the same solid brick feeling as the Geonix Rev. 2.5, which most people who have picked up my keyboards comment on. The case is CNC'd out of one block of aluminium, and the keyboard is heavier than it looks. Overall it gives a very premium and solid impression. I like the look of the "grille" on the left side of the case. The "grille" is also functional since the RGB inside can e.g. be set to indicate which layer is active.

The layout of Init40 has 42 keys, and the Init40 firmware comes with 6 programmable layers as standard instead of the more common 4. I only need 4 layers though. The layers are easy to program in the VIAL web browser interface. 

Aside from programmable layers, the VIAL interface also gives access to QMK's more advanced programming features like Tapdance and Combos, which comes in handy with a smaller keyboard like this.

Interestingly the case of the Init40 has a built-in angle of 5 degrees. For me this is great, since I usually have to attach hard black foam pieces on most of my 40-50% keyboards in order to get a comfortable typing angle. I do not have to do this on the Init40. The angled case also makes the front edge of the Init40 lower than the Geonix Rev. 2.5. 

To me the Init40 sounds really good. Surprisingly the typing sound of the Init40 is even more solid than the Geonix Rev. 2.5. Maybe due to the angled design which creates less inner volume. I have different switches in these two keyboards, which makes the comparison harder. My Init40 has linear White Rain switches and my Geonix Rev. 2.5 has tactical Black Cloud switches. I like both switches, but in spite of usually going with heavy tacticals, I prefer the linear option in this case.

Overall I have really enjoyed using and configuring the Init40, and it will definitely be part of my rotation. Personally I think the Init40 is crazy good value at approx. 115 USD. Perfect for anyone who wants to try a smaller keyboard while not breaking the bank.

Important to note is that the keyboard comes with a really good compact semi-hard case that perfectly fits the keyboard, which is great when you want to bring the keyboard along to do work in a coffee shop or elsewhere.

There really are not many companies who make 40% keyboards that are easy to get hold of, and I am really grateful that Chosfox is repeatedly designing and launching new and innovative products that are competitively priced in this keyboard category. Thanks again to Chosfox for providing a free review sample of the Init40.
