A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to review the uniquely styled Leobog K81 and was quite impressed with the board. Leobog have reached out again, this time with their Hi-75 board. While the K81 featured a thick plastic frame, this board features a weighty powder coated aluminum housing, giving the board a similarly super solid and put together feel but with a touch of luxury. Blank space between the escape and function keys is filled in by a small metal button with the Leobog astronaut logo, which turned out to be detachable as it is held on by magnetism. I thought this was a creative touc ..read more

A few weeks ago Cerakey reached out to me and offered me the chance to test some of their V2 Ceramic Keycaps. Well now they are here, and I’m writing my review on them as we speak. One of the main things that stands out is how cool (literally) the keycaps are as they are quite refreshing to type on especially as my palms tend to get a little bit hot. I chose the green and white sets because I thought it would match my Leobog K81, and also Green is one of my favorite colors and I’d really been wanting to set up a greeny looking board :). Something that surprised me was that even though ceramics ..read more

I am very exciting to share with you my review of the Leobog K81 (Mint green, Ice crystal linear switches) Leobog K81 Aesthetic and keycap profile It’s a really unique translucent aesthetic, including pudding style keycaps with a profile harking back to the DSA profile of the 80’s and also looks a little bit like a morse code console.

After highly rating both the Keychron K2 (Aluminium Bezel version) and the Marshmallow keycaps, I decided to test a budget pack of the mysterious yet popular XVX profile keycaps, paired up with a similarly budgeted Keychron K6 65% board (Hot Swappable, Plastic Bezel version). Keychron k6 unboxingXvx purple keycaps on keychron k6I don’t actually have a photo of the original board setup- the keycaps were so terrible I had to take them off immediately.

Like me, you’ve probably come across these Marshmallow XDA keycaps on some site or another while surfing. But do they perform as well as they look?

Keyboard with cheese styled keycaps byu/Pinecone inATBGE That… is… cheesy! This cheeseboard looks suspiciously tasty to me. How do we know that this cheeseboard isn’t actual cheese? It turns out you can get heaps of handmake cheese caps from various sellers on etsy. This guy even makes spacebars and shift keys. What impresses me most about the cheese keycaps used in the build is that there are so many different variations with uniquely placed cheese holes- so a lot of effort must have gone in to forming each cheesy cap. One user commented asking “What did you do to Spongebob?” I can’t un-see ..read more
