Review: The ultimate sleeper - BOYI keyboards are sneaky. They're good quality, and when BOYI has a model they want to clear out, they put them up at crazy good prices and they become the ultimate sleeper boards. Case in point: the YK82 keyboard. This guy. First, the out-of-the-box experience. You get the basics: the board, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a combo keycap/switch puller and a few extra BOYI Jadeite switches. More on those later. This board is *heavy*. Which you'd expect from a well-built aluminum keyboard. The finish is a pretty matte eggshell white, which looks good with most keycap colors. There's a mirrored weight on the underside. No flippy legs to change the typing angle, so be aware of that if you're the type that likes a higher typing angle. The knob can be used to control volume/mute or RGB mode and brightness. Every socket worked out of the box, no dead or damaged switches, just a good, clean, functional board out of the box. The typing experience is wonderful. BOYI's Jadeite switches are linear, full POM with an operating force of 40gf. In terms of actuation force, that puts them in the realm of a boatload of linears. At the most universal level, they feel like a much, much smoother Cherry or Gateron red. Going a little deeper, they have the smoothness of something like a BSUN Kiki Red, which is my personal comparison for their feel. Very smooth, heavy enough that you're not going to mistype every other letter, light enough that you're not going to walk away with Holy Panda fingers. The gasket performance isn't spectacular. I'm betting BOYI has this board stuffed to the gills with foam layers, and that's why there's a little bit of flex, but not much. One last note: if Bluetooth is your connection of choice, you're going to be looking at latency of, at minimum, 12-14ms. Keep that in mind if you're a quick-twitch FPS gamer, but if you're a quick-twitch FPS gamer, you're not using Bluetooth anyway. Latencies are controllable through the software and can be set to different levels, and on 2.4G or especially wired, they're plenty good for gaming. The keycaps aren't for me, but I bought the pink gradient only because it would get here fastest. I knew I'd be replacing them in short order, so the color doesn't matter to me. The keycaps are doubleshot PBT with south-facing shine-through. South-facing legends are not something everyone is going to love, but the board's south-facing LEDs make it a logical choice. That said, light transmission through them is not great, even at the highest brightness settings. If shine-through is very important to you, consider replacing the switches with something that has a diffuser built in. The switches are textured, but very lightly. Oh, how does it sound? I have a video for that! It's on the clackier side, and I'm not sure how much success you'd have making this board thock. It's not pingy like a lot of cheap aluminum boards are, but I just don't see it being all that moddable. I haven't opened this board up to do tape mods or stuff in whatever wacky foam of the week I can find around here, and I don't really feel the need to. I think switching out the keycaps with something heavier, maybe an ISA, CSA or MDA set, and it'll sound about as deep as it's going to. I'm honestly happy with how it sounds now; I just don't want pink keycaps. The software is the same suite that every budget keyboard has shipped with for the last infinity years, and it works fine if you're used to it. Someone mentioned a virus warning, and I have thoughts on that. One, I scanned the file with Malwarebytes. Bitdefender and Windows Defender, then did a full system scan with Malwarebytes. All came back clean, but I *did* get the Windows "unverified software" popup. That is not a virus warning, just Windows asking you not to sue Microsoft if you install sketchy software on your server and your whole company goes down for a month. Two, and this is even bigger for me, BOYI has been around for a long time in keyboard years. They gave us the legendary GMK series: GMK61, GMK67, GMK84 (to a lesser extent) and GMK87. No company can be trusted completely. There are some very big names in the mini PC space that have been caught burying malware in their Windows images. That said, if I had to pick a keyboard brand to trust, BOYI would be well ahead of some very big names that you would instantly know. That's 100% my opinion and should be taken as such, but I am comfortable with BOYI's software. During Black Friday week, this board was $40. At that price, it's a no-brainer. Last night, it fell to $35, which makes this an absolute no-brainer if you have any interest in an aluminum 75% board. Just about everything about this board is done very well, aside from maybe the legends not shining through as much as you'd like to see if shine-through is important to you. If you're a competitive e-sports gamer who uses Bluetooth because you hate winning, your latency will be high, but 2.4G and wired are fine. I have *not* been using this board long enough to test out battery life yet, so ymmv there. tl;dr, this board is an outstanding value at $35. I've got half a mind to buy a second one. BOYI only posts boards at crazy prices when they're trying to offload their stock, and if you've ever even considered an aluminum board, I would grab one of these before they're gone.
Review: Has NO right being this good. - The weight and design immediately stood out to me. Very heavy, nice matte white coating but nonetheless aluminum construction. It felt like a $100-$120 keyboard. One of my aluminum keyboards was in the $70 range and this looks and feels higher quality than that one. It's not the best quality keyboard I have, sure, but for $35? It's WILD how nice this is. The keycaps appear relatively good quality - nothing remarkable, but clear ledgers. The switches are basic linears but are smooth and seem to be decently factory lubed. The sound teeters more towards clacky, but is pretty well muted; I will try some other switches soon just to see how much it can affect that, as I'm not a huge fan of clacky sound profiles. The volume wheel feels solid, sturdy, and has a satisfying ratcheting mechanism. I'm SO impressed with this thing. I just cannot get over that it was $35. It makes absolutey no sense whatsoever. Even at they price it went back to of $60-70 it's wildly good for that price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice all aluminum mechanical at an excellent price point!
*by C***. on October 21, 2024*

Far exceeded all expectations for a full aluminum budget mechanical. Pros: Compact Layout: The 75% layout is excellent, and this one packs in a couple more keys than other 75%'s I've used. Hot-Swappable Switches: Although the stock switched have a great feel, it's nice to have the option to replace/upgrade. RGB Backlighting: Easily controlled for the basic. Affordable Price: The YK82 is budget-friendly, and feels like a much more expensive keyboard. Decent Build Quality: Despite its lower price point, the keyboard has a solid build, with substantial weight/feel. Knob: Has a nice rotation and click. Nice to have. Cons: Software Limitations: The accompanying software is not great. Keycap Quality: Some users report that the stock keycaps could be better in terms of texture and durability, which may lead to considering replacements. Connectivity Issues: I primarily use it wired, as the wireless seems to be a bit laggy at times Conclusion: The BOYI YK82 is a versatile and affordable mechanical keyboard with a good feel, good stock, keys, a sharp look, and some nice features for the price.
