BakenekoGO Unboxing & Build

hey there!

this is such a nice budget keyboard. as far as I know there's nothing like the bakeneko go even close in price. as a kit it includes everything you need except switches and keycaps for $80.. it's a bargain imo. build quality for the solid polycarbonate case is really solid, haven't noticed any warping or bowing myself.

One thing I didnt mention in the video is the lack of via compatibility, not a deal breaker but It is a bit annoying. Apparently though, ZMK will be releasing a similar UI to via, so that's promising. currently they are marketing 800+ hours with wireless (no rgb). That's wild and would definitely like to see how they progress/ improve.

I hope you enjoy the video!
