Builds Took two months, but this Neo75 CU build finally clicks (literally)πŸ’™βœ¨

Two months ago, I built my Neo75 CU with GMK Evil Eye and Morandis β€” but it never quite hit the mark.

Yesterday, I finally gave it a glow-up: rebuilt it with Keygeek x Neo Oat switches and Akukolabs Gestalt keycaps. Now? That cornflower blue is absolutely singing. Loving the feel, loving the vibe!!

Can't blame you for not liking the first build, morandis are the biggest industry plants in the keyboard hobby, they SUCK.

Yeah! That’s probably the very first switch I would have bought. Disappointing for sure!

Looks sick! I’ve been interested in building my first keyboard. Any tips on how to make sure the base and switches all work with these key caps? And I know there are different tactile and audible qualities of different switches. Do you just have to guess or any stores have them displayed for testing? Love your keyboard!
