The KKB Monet Psychedelic set genuinely exceeded my expectations. Even as someone who’s still finding their footing in the keyboard world, the quality difference was immediately noticeable the moment I opened the box. The keycaps feel solid and well‑made, with a finish that gives off a premium impression without being flashy.
What really stood out to me were the legends. They’re sharp, clean, and surprisingly detailed — the kind of thing you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve seen a few sets up close and realise not all legends are created equal. There’s a precision to them that makes the whole set feel thoughtfully produced.
The colour choices are another highlight. They’re vibrant in a way that feels uplifting, but not overwhelming. It’s a palette that brings personality to a board without locking you into a loud aesthetic. Even as someone still experimenting with different looks and layouts, this set feels easy to pair and easy to enjoy.
Overall, the Monet Psychedelic set has made a strong impression. It’s the first time I’ve looked at a newer brand like KKB and thought, “Okay, they’re onto something here.” If this is the level of quality they’re starting with, they’re absolutely a name worth keeping an eye on.
The Neo65 Sonic HE+ just reset the bar for what £130 gets you in the keyboard world. If you’ve been torn between “gaming performance” and “custom sound,” the struggle is officially over.
Why it’s a cheat code:
8,000Hz Polling: 0.125ms latency. Your inputs happen before you even think them. ⚡️
Pure Aluminum: No plastic creaks here. A 1.5kg CNC-machined chassis with a stainless steel weight.
Rapid Trigger + Rappy Snappy: Fully customizable actuation (0.01mm) for that frame-perfect movement in Valorant or CS2. 🎯
The Sound: Most HE boards sound like hollow toys—this sounds like a premium custom build. Thocky, crisp, and stabilized.
The Reality Check:
It uses a web-based configurator rather than VIA, and there’s no wireless (physics of 8K polling, unfortunately), but for the price? It’s untouchable.
