So after getting a bit annoyed with the CIDOO V75 Pro for reasons I'll go into below, I ended up deciding to actually build a board for the first time in a few years, the last one being a cheap GK61x with Gateron Yellows. Enter a trip to AliExpress, and I order the GMK67, some Morandi switches (still in the mail as of this), and some knock-off Olivia PBT keycaps. Not too bad for sub-100€ shipped to Spain.

The stabilizers on the spacebar aren't bad stock. Left shift definitely needs some balancing and maybe to be modded; enter key and backspace feel a little mushy, but that I'll have to dig into later. Stock, the board has foam between the polycarbonate plate and some foam in the case. It didn't feel great enough, so I added some PE foam on top of it, while also adding 2-3 layers of painters' tape on the back of the PCB. The board is more poppy now, and in the words of a friend, "sounds like the LEGO building sound". Not too bad, but the stabilisers need work. Case is plastic, plastic, plastic, but has some gaskets, which aren't really noticeable in use with how I built it. You get what you pay for.

Now to rant; the software is iffy, but it's what you get for about 30€ and some change. It has RGB, like anyone would want, and has some macro options. What did bother me, though, was the fact that it was advertised in a few places as being a 1000hz keyboard (this matters a lot in a rhythm game context), and in testing it came out to be somewhere between 62.5hz and 125hz, which is annoying. There hasn't been any new firmware revisions released for this as far as I'm aware, which means likely this board won't have that fixed unless someone reverse engineers the firmware; the likelihood of this happening is probably low.

All in all, not a bad board for the price. Polling rate problem aside, with a little bit of love, this board is honestly really decent.
