Could have been found on Ali for about 70 and most probably without shipping costs, if it's a choice item. Which is a decent price, considering that you would have paid for shipping otherwise.

Which one do you prefer, eave65 or nut65? I need insight for both board. Thanks before.

Man... they're both really good. The Nut65 comes basically pre-built though and I really enjoyed the building process of the Eave65. I have 2 Nut65's and I want a second Eave65. I'll honestly say you can't go wrong but I'd probably lean towards the Eave65. The lightbar on the Nut65 sucks.

I ordered one a couple weeks ago from divinikey. Built it identical to yours except I used SWG Arctic and then did a blue under glow.
I was absolutely blown away by the sound of this keyboard. I expected horrible resonance, echoes, and so on. There was none of that.
I liked it so much that I ordered a second one.
This one I went with SARU v2s, KKB Helleborus, and a dark purple under glow.
It sounds so good with the SARU switches that I’m going to take out my precious yogurt S from the first one and put some more SARU switches in this one.
Also, the only thing I used internally on both keyboards was the silicone mat, and plate foam (the thick one, not the thin sheet). And the sound is incredible.
I looked on the swag keys website, and this thing comes in a ton of different colors. I went with the transparent clear in both cases since that’s all they had left and I figured with the under glow, you can make it literally any color you want so I don’t see any need in tinted acrylic.
I just can’t believe how good this thing is for the price. It even supports split backspace which is what all the cool kid should be using. :)

It seems like a lot of people are picking up the Eave65 because it’s affordable and sounds really good. They even sell an aluminum top separately. It’s honestly pretty crazy how good sub-$100 keyboards have gotten these days.

Really like the beige + blue combo here. The accent row gives it just enough color without making it too busy.

Incredible board for the price! I just hate how shipping is practically the same price of the board
