This is the AL75 Pro by
A $110 tri-mode wireless capable pre-built mechanical keyboard that comes ready to use right out of the box

The case is made of a very nicely finished smooth CNC aluminum
it’s got some high quality doubleshot PBT keycaps,
some very clacky Yunzii Cocoa Cream V2 linear switches,
well factory lubed plate mounted stabilizers,
and is fully hotswappable with support for 5 pin switches and PCB mount stabilizers

For its price, the AL75 Pro really brings a lot to the table and I can easily see this being a popular pick for newbies wanting to get into the hobby or for anyone just in the market for a nice feeling and sounding keyboard that’s gonna last

It does have some cons some people might not like
Like the board lacking QMK/VIA compatibility instead using it’s own thirdparty software from Yunzii and it only comes with a 1.2mm flex cut PCB which can sorta thin out the sound for certain switches

But other than those 2 nitpicks, it’s a solid performer that honestly sounds and types great out of the box

Check it out over on Yunzii’s website (Linked in bio) 😁

Just hit 9000 subscribers over on my YouTube channel!
Huge huge thank you to everyone for all the support 😁

Honestly speaking, I haven't posted much on my main socials in a bit because I've honestly been feeling a little bit burnt out because I've been working on videos pretty much non-stop for a really good while

Acting as a one man production team is definitely doable but it isn't the easiest 😅

The backlog of stuff I have on-hand in need of video production is a bit huge and I've still got a whole bunch of videos to work on but I am definitely not complaining one bit! Having this be what I do on a day to day basis is definitely a privilege that I don't take for granted~

I'm super grateful to all the brand sponsors and partners I've made so far and I'm doing my best to make sure each video is made with the same level of care and detail as everything I've put out so far 😊

To my audience and everyone following, I wanna give some extra thanks to you guys for the support and sticking around so far
So stay tuned for a few giveaway posts real soon!

And as soon as the channel hits 10,000 subscribers I'll also be giving away some big items in partnership with some brands and some boards from my personal collection so some of you guys can get your hands on some awesome stuff!

I’m on a new years trip in Taiwan at the moment and I wanted a compact lens to bring with me without taking up too much room in my bag so for this trip all I’ve got with me is my .official /.ph 28mm F4.5 Full Frame pancake lens a.k.a “Chip”

I picked it up for a little under $100 during Viltrox’s kickstarter and paired with my A7CII it makes for a perfect little compact point and shoot travel camera setup that lets me quickly snap photos without all the bulk of carrying a large zoom lens

When I need a bit of a zoom though, cropping into APS-C mode or even using Sony’s clear image zoom really comes in clutch for when I want that nice and cropped in shot

Will definitely consider picking up more light and compact lenses in the future

Happy New Year y’all!
2024 was an absolutely massive year for myself and the channel and I just wanted to thank everyone for all the support!

Some highlights of the year include:
- Hosting my very first keeb meetup in collaboration with fellow content creator
- being flown out to Hong Kong to a tech trade show by Wuque Studio
- collaborating with exciting established and new brands on countless videos
- expanding my content beyond mechanical keyboards and branching into reviewing hall effect gaming boards, gaming mice, and microphones
- boothing at this years with my friends and rehomed a ton of boards (thank you once again everyone who bought boards, you know who you are 😁)
- and so so so much more

I really wanted to get more videos pushed out for December but technical difficulties and just being super exhausted has me cooked from all the happenings the last few weeks haha

But anyways, I already have some stuff planned for 2025 and I can’t wait to see what next year has to offer

So yeah, once again thank you to all of you who watch my stuff and are genuinely just fans of the stuff I do and content I create
And thank you to all the brands I’ve worked with and collaborated with
Because without your support, I wouldn’t be able to make this my job~

So with that, that’s 2024 😁
Happy new year guys!

Celebrating Keebmas and the holidays with some Spanish Latte Gingerbread Bottles from 🎁🎄

Heyo just a quick little update
Videos might be put on hold for awhile because of some electrical issues here at home

So basically, the electrical meter melted because of an overload and there’s no power throughout the entire house making my home studio pretty much unusable - but at least the meter melting seems to be all the damage done
It definitely could’ve been worse and started some kind of electrical fire but yeah, thankfully that didn’t happen 😅

So for the time being I’ve had to temporarily relocate while things get sorted out and all the house wiring and the meter gets replaced
In the meantime I’ll try and finish up work on editing pre-existing footage of some up and coming releases

Hopefully my brand partners, sponsors, and of course you guys can understand why uploads might have a bit of a gap this month

Could take awhile without any estimate on when things get sorted out so hope you guys understand 🙏

I was gifted a 3D printer for Christmas and I’m afraid it’ll be the start of another new and expensive hobby 🤡

But hey, least I can make goofy looking toys at home 😅

Porter Robinson’s Manila concert was so much friggin fun

From listening to all his songs on loop for years to finally seeing the dude live in person, and to be right next to the stage, was just an awesome experience

My legs are dead from standing around for over 3 hours but it was totally worth it
It truly was a gathering of chronically online weebs and nerds in the best way possible - 10/10 already wanna see another show

W show, W band, W crowd, W fanbase, W’s all around! 😀
Thank you !!!

I just picked up this Transition Lite TKL because I was curious to see just how much value this barebones kit offered for its $50 price tag and so far I’m incredibly impressed with what the board is capable of

I got my hands on the transparent injection molded polycarbonate case with the 1.6mm non-flex cut PCB and Tsangan bottom row and it just looks great paired with PBTFans XRay designed by .musings

It is a little bit foam dependent because after trying it totally foamless, the casing just sounded too thin and hollow to make the most out of any build, so if you do put this together yourself I highly recommend using the plate foam as a bare minimum

The board is in-stock over on Swagkeys site and some regional vendors worldwide so if you wanna get your hands on one, no need to wait on a group buy or anything (always a good thing 😅)

Attended the launch event for collaboration with hosted by - the Quiccs x Pulsar Xlite V4 Quiccs Edition

It was a chill night of trying out virtual golf, product showcases from Pulsar and Quiccs’ team, and I was even lucky enough to win a TEQ63 pillow from the giveaway at the event 😅

The collaboration mouse looks even better in person and if you’re someone that already owns Quiccs’ collaboration keyboard from Wuque Studio, the Mammoth75, picking up this collab mouse to pair with it shouldn’t even be a 2nd thought 👀

Sharing some photos of the newly released Talan Aero from RAKK Gears

It’s a budget symmetrical shaped gaming mouse with a solid performing pixart 3395 sensor, Huano blue shell pink dot switches, weighs 56g, and has a hot-swappable removable 300mAh battery that’s upgradable to an affordable wireless charging battery

As someone who really enjoys using small symmetrical shaped gaming mice, this Talan Aero is a comfortable fit if you’re someone that’s in the market for a shape similar to the Viper Mini

Check out the Rakk Talan Aero available at EASY PC
Full review coming soon on the channel 😌

Sharing some shots I took of the OG87

In homage to some of the first mechanical keyboards like the IBM Model M Space Saving Keyboard, the OG87 is a modern take in a retro looking body with a lot of the modern features people look for in a custom mechanical keyboard 👀

It's hot-swappable, fully RGB backlit, tri-mode wireless capable, gasket mounted, packed to the brim with foams + case silicone, comes with some very high quality old school looking dye-sub PBT keycaps to really fit the old school keyboard aesthetic, and comes with Ice Mint V2 factory lubed linear switches

Full review should be up on the channel soon so stay tuned for it! 😁
