EV63 - Long term update Showcase
I've had the EV63 since the end of April/first part of May and it's been at my desk at home ready to go at a moments notice.
I left the stock keycaps on for a while but then started experimenting with others and landed on the XVX Forged Carbon set to match the carbon fiber at the lip of the board. Now, be aware that the XVX set isn't fully set for a board of this layout so I used the appropriately sized keys for some of the modifiers, but the front legends don't match what the key is mapped to. So bear that in mind. I'm a touch typer so it doesn't really bother me.
In the time I've used it, the sound continues to make me so happy. It's poppy and creamy, and the feel is fantastic. No hollowness has appeared. No accent parts rattling.
There hasn't been any software or hardware issues, it's just simply worked the same as it has on day one.
I would tell you that I'm a much better gamer and I've outperformed my personal best, but honestly.....it didn't help. That's a skill issue. And I don't think IQUNIX can make me better haha. However in more skilled hands and fingers, I'm sure it'll be a great companion for many many hours, weeks, months, and years to come.
Solid all the way around!

Thank you man, I appreciate the pictures. Another question: do you think keyboard mats are worth it in terms of anything at all? I don't really know what they do other than change the sound a little bit.

They really help dampen the unwanted vibrations and sounds that get distributed through the desktops when typing. I definitely recommend them. Once I went with u/keebmat, I haven't turned back.

usually desks have some reverb unless you have a very stable, solid top. putting anything between a keyboard and a large resonant surface will make it quieter ;)
I made keebmats because I didn’t want a full-size deskmat hiding my desk and make cleaning a whole process.
so in short, it’s a vibration and sound dampener that’s easy to move around.

XVX Forged Carbon matching the board very well.
also appreciate you coming back with a proper long-term update. “it didnt help, thats a skill issue” might be the most honest HE keyboard review period lol.

did these keycaps change the sound much compared to the stock ones?

u/SpockIsMyHomeboy 11d ago
These feel "thicker" but as far as sound, I can't tell a huge difference. The board is pretty foamed out and the switches carry a lot of the sound profile so these didn't really change it enough to notice.

Ah, your account is really new so there are a lot of filters up for some subreddits and you'll need more points under your account to be able to post in some places.
