It sounds good! The sound definitely leans more Iron165 than it does Vega - the sound that comes out of it isn't too deep. The sound is pretty clacky. Even after adding the PCB foam, it still retained more of the clack of the OA switches. I think this is a good thing! I'm less likely to get "tired" of a sound when I can still hear the unique sound of a switch, rather than just hearing the lower frequencies of a deep, creamy sound.
The GB ends July 4th https://www.neokeys.net/collections/element-g67-groupbuy/products/neo-element-67-keyboard-kit . There are a few variants depending on how much you want to spend.
The board doesn't sound hollow so I think this is a solid option.
It sounds clackier than the Vega. It doesn't have the unique Jelly Epoch sound so don't compare it to that - the Jelly Epoch is also a different layout.
Is this better than the Mode SixtyFive? It's a clacky gasket mount sound and the Mode SixtyFive is a top mount sound. You pick.
Aesthetically speaking for $265, this is cheaper for the single color alu keyboard case. For the Mode SixtyFive, it's $300.
At the end of the day, it's all preference!
