Finalkey

It’s an amazing keyboard for an amazing budget

Easy doing business, relatively fast shipping, great item!

I wasn’t too sure at first but I wanted a new set of caps for the board I was picking up and I love green so I rolled the dice. And I won. They are top quality in my estimation and I can’t wait to try these on some different boards this summer.

The keycaps are really good quality for the price, and my FNKv81 looks slick with them!

Good keycaps I love it

Really like this keyboard for its price. Excellent anodizing quality, height, board flexibility and usability of this layout. Would recommend for purchase - thanks to the store for very fast shipping

I bought this keyboard in mid December so it was slow getting to my country from Japan due to holiday volume, but once it finally arrived here it was sent all over the place by the post office. At one point it was as close as 2 cities away; and at another point is was on the other side of the country. This went on for about two weeks before it was "seized for fraudulent postage". I have no idea what went on but Finalkey sent me another kit, no questions asked.

Fantastic board for its price point

took about 2 weeks to arrive. package came in good condition, and everything works perfectly. the sound quality is so nice compared to the other keyboards that ive used in the past. anyways, as long as you follow the manual that comes with it there shouldn't be a problem with the set up.

the plate mounted stabilizers are perfectly tuned & lubed, never heard any better, and the leaf spring mounting is very soft

Came in quicker than expected. This is my first keyboard. Good quality and has some weight to it.

Used the downloads but VIA was still not working.

TL;DR: AMAZING Alice keyboard for the price! Even with barebones it comes with clip-in stabs! I've been looking for a wireless Alice layout keyboard and I don't have to search anymore after this one.

Full Review!
I'm a huge fan of Alice layout keyboards so I'm biased, however, I love this specific layout because it has the 3 side buttons on the left and arrow keys on the right. The arrow keys also do not split up the shift because I don't like it when the right shift is to the right of the up arrow.

As for the keyboard itself, it's great!
- Simple to just pop in switches and keycaps. Because of the foam on the pcb, you can't see the holes, but the switch will fit snug before you press it in. The switches will be south-facing.
- I use this on the 2.4g wireless setting and wired when charging and it's great. I don't use bluetooth since my PC doesn't have a wifi card.
- It's also easy to configure it on VIA which is great. It has layers, macros, rgb control, etc. You might need to get the via json file to get VIA to work like I did. You can find it here: https://epomaker.com/blogs/qmk-via/cidoo-abm066-via-usb-json-file
- I think the battery life is pretty good for having some rgb lights on. I can go for at least a week of constant use before I have to charge it.
- The auto-sleep on this keyboard is amazing and definitely saves on battery life.

*** Below is if you're interested in opening and customizing your keyboard. If you don't, then you can ignore the rest.
My only critique is customizing the keyboard, but I still give it 5 stars because this keyboard doesn't need to be customized.
- Opening it is incredibly hard. You have to pry it open since the top case uses clips to attach to the bottom case. The only way I figured it out is turn it over and start where the space bars are, then work where the on/off switch is, then either short side. I've opened this about 5 times and none of the clips have broken (miracle). I definitely recommend having some plastic jimmys to do this.
- Removing the ribbon cable from the daughter board was really difficult. At first I just unscrewed the daughterboard, but then I tried disconnecting the ribbon cable very carefully and it did come off. It was very stressful though so I recommend just unscrewing the daughterboard.
- The PCB has this weird plastic on it that I ripped off because I didn't like it.
- Screw in stabilizers are NOT possible other than the Backspace key. Usually, the backspace stabilizer is the only one reversed, but ALL stabilizer holes are the same orientation as backspace. With how the plate works, any screw in stabs other than backspace will not work properly. Maybe it was just mine, but this is still worth a mention.
- You can put some kind of foam under the pcb to dampen the sound. I personally use poly fill (stuffing for stuffed toys) and made it sound less hollow.
- I lubed and Holee modded the clip-in stabs it comes with and they're pretty good! Not bad for a $60 keyboard.

Even before lubing they still sound amazing
