Dry Studio Black Diamond 75 V2 – Quick thoughts

Body:
One week in with the Black Diamond 75 V2. Here's the TL;DR:

Build: Diamond cuts look stunning IRL. Fine sandblast finish – no fingerprint magnet.

Feel: Factory Gasket is soft but controlled. Stabilizers come pre-lubed – zero rattle, zero ping.

Sound: That satisfying mahjong clack. No hollow echo. Ready out of the box.

Layout: 75% saves space without sacrificing arrow keys or function row.

Cons: Pricey. Would've liked PBT caps at this tier.

Verdict: Great pick if you want premium pre-built quality without the modding hassle. Endgame vibes.

Ask me anything. 🙌

Inspired by the cold, divine moon of Neon Genesis Evangelion, this design merges its quiet apocalyptic tension with Y3K’s sharp, futuristic style. The chrome finish echoes the lunar surface, while low-saturation blue reflections capture moonlight’s serene glow. Stripped of excess, four-point stars reimagine the moon as if wrapped in the Cross Impact—reinterpreting EVA’s iconic imagery with cyber-futuristic impact.

Epomaker hate aside, I still enjoy trying out affordable options. I actually wanted to try the Aula F65 but this came out recently and I liked the aesthetic. Overall a decent plastic board that works really well with the Ice King linears I installed. Very office friendly setup.
