Another "Out of This World" Experience
As a keyboard enthusiast and someone who works in the automotive industry, I couldn't resist the idea of having a keyboard transformed by the legendary Liberty Walk brand. Without a doubt, this keyboa
I ordered Gateron Jade Pro Ultra Switches for my ATK RS6 Ultra+ Keyboard (Ranger), anticipating a higher keyboard "pitch" rather than a deeper thock. The switches arrived on April 28, 2026, and I inst

Keyboards put the world at our fingertips, and the one we choose can significantly affect our proficiency in typing. All keyboards are not created equal, and the ideal keyboard has yet to be found.

After reading great reviews on the Bakeneko65 keyboard, I built one. The basic keyboard is currently listed at $149.99, and you must purchase the key switches and keycaps separately.
I selected the black Anodized case with a zinc weight for my build. The kit includes the following materials:
• Bakeneko65 Cast Aluminum Case with Zinc Weight or Silicone
• CannonKeys Custom Foam Carrying Case (Black)
• 50A Silicone O-Ring Gasket
• FR4 Universal Plate
• CannonKeys ANSI Layout Hotswap PCB with cool white per key LED
• USB-C C3 Unified Daughterboard (with ESD protection) and JST Cable
• Microfiber Cloth
• (3) 2u Cherry Clip-in Stabilizers, (1) 6.25u Cherry Clip-in Stabilizer with CannonKeys Wire. Due to the mounting style of this keyboard, screw-in stabilizers are not supported on the backspace and space.
• Custom Bumpon-compatible Silicone Feet
• 65% o-ring gasket-mounted keyboard
• FR4 universal plate
• CannonKeys hot-swap PCB with ANSI layout
(Solder PCB add-on available)
• 6-degree typing angle
• 590g unbuilt without weight, 910g unbuilt with weight
As mentioned, you will need to purchase your own key switches. I purchased the FLCMMK Ice Mint Linear Switch designed by FLCMMK and manufactured by Kailh. I prefer switches with a low actuation force, and the Ice Mint Linear switches are the Goldilocks solution.
These full POM switches come factory lubed, and the unique stem design allows for more stability and a softer-sounding bottom out. I purchased switch pads but quickly discovered I didn't need them.
• Switch Type - Linear
• Manufacturer - Kailh
• Top Housing Material - POM
• Bottom Housing Material - POM
• Stem Material - POM
• Spring Weight - 40±10g operating force, 50g bottom out
• Mounting Pins - 5-pin
• Factory Lube - Yes
I purchased GMK Birch keycaps from CannonKeys, and they're the perfect match for this keyboard.
The easy-to-follow build guide is available online.
The YUNZII Ajazz AC067 Peak Blue 67 Keys Hot-Swappable Gasket Mounted Mechanical Keyboard is eerily similar to the Bakeneko65 and is available at a fraction of the cost. I purchased the AC067 and will be reviewing it once it arrives!
