In this stream, I basically hit the “I’m stuck” wall and made chat pick my next keyboard with me. I started out doing some Monkeytype runs, immediately got annoyed at how a super tactile board was making my hand hurt, then swapped to a Galaxy 80… which straight up had keys not working. So yeah, it turned into a very real “my keyboards are fighting me today” moment before we even got to the shopping. The actual mission was simple (and somehow impossible): I wanted a 60% with thin side bezels like the Neo 60 Core, ideally aluminum, and under $100 USD including shipping to New Zealand. The Neo 60 Core was the original plan, but shipping was $44 USD—literally half the board—so I bailed. From there we looked at stuff like Shark 60 (I don’t want HE), Yunzi/Junzy options, Tofu 60/Tofu 3.0 (price pain), XVX (good deal but not the premium clean look I want), the Eve 65 (tempting but not 60%), LumaKey/Lum Mini60 (beautiful, not budget), and even random Reddit inspiration. The takeaway: thin-bezel “premium-looking” 60% under $100 shipped to NZ is brutal, and I might have set my standards too high—but I’m still chasing it.
