MY THOUGHTS:

The Neo65 by Qwertykeys is a board that starts at a crazy price of $79.99 USD with it's plateless variant and $99 with the plate (plus shipping). Today we are trying the $99 dollar version, but after using it, I can definitely say the plateless version will also be a winner.

It offers a lot. Multiple mounting styles, a quality case finish, a weight (mind you it's thing), wireless, and an attractive classic design for the case. Thin bezels are a plus for me.

The two mounting methods found on the Neo65 are o-ring and 'gasket'. I'm going to be honest, the gasket acts as this sort of in-between of an o-ring and gasket which makes it perfect for sound. I preferred everything about the gasket design, and it almost makes the o-ring feel like an after thought, but it's all preference.

What I didn't love about the Neo65 was one thing about the build experience, and it's a VERY minor nitpick here. The batteries we're... awkward. I wish these sort of fit in differently to secure them better but they don't work that way. But thats really it. Thats my only nitpick

Sound wise I found it's not as "clacky" as some other boards but instead falls perfectly in the middle to feel more balanced. It's also soft or firmer depending on what mounting style you use.

Final verdict? It's a win. They listed to a lot of feedback from past projects and put it in to this one. We finally get a board that doesn't absolutely need foam to sound good but instead acts as a modifier for people who enjoy that sound signature, which is great and means everyone wins. Especially at such an attractive price point.
