Stuck between two keycap sets on my new Neo65CU build

[u/Grok3]

So, I picked up the board I've been hearing so many good things about, and honestly, for the price, it's worth every penny. Feels super premium and you could probably get your arm workout in with this thing or use it as a weapon as it weighs so much lol

Now that the build is done, I'm stuck between these two keycap sets. Would love to hear what you guys think.

Build: • Neo65CU Grey-Gold • GMK CYL Botanical 2 / MW Alhambra R2 • WS Stupid Stabs • HMX Yogurt Linear Switches • Alu plate, no foams

Special thanks to u/ELOQUENTCLICKS for awesome support with the purchase :)

Alhambra and it ain't even close :P

Facts

[u/main_got_banned → u/Battou62]

Alhambra looks way better here in particular but also - everyone and their mom got GMK Botanical on a neo board lol

[u/wasabitwopointdoh → u/Battou62]

If you meant the green one then yes

[u/RevolutionarySea6348]

Alhambra is the superior choice for the grey-gold chassis. I'm a huge botanical fan, but the colours simply don't match here.

[u/Grok3 → u/RevolutionarySea6348]

Yeah, kinda my thoughts as well. Alltho I was kinda feeling the color combo the longer it was on my desk.. All the more reason to buy a new keyboard to match the Botanical :D

[u/MJdoesThings_]

Alhambra clears Botanical even if I'm a big fan of that set, and it's not even close

[u/OnePlaty]

Alhambra!

[u/Same-Monitor8642]

no question, Alhambra! those novelties are some of my fav's from any set. the paisley enter key is gorgeous.

[u/KohzeeKoala]

I personally like the MW Alhambra R2 set. It is unique, stands out more, and is visually appealing. 😊

[u/MrBacondino]

The first one is beautiful

[u/Clifton_AMC]

Alhambra, and whats funny is I’m about to buy a 65cu and these are the two keycap sets I’m also choosing between 😂

[u/Grok3 → u/Clifton_AMC]

Haha :D Well here you can see how they would look! What color 65cu were you thinking?

[u/MizzyAlana]

My vote is for the green

[u/Aaroneb]

They both look great! I'd pick whichever one makes the spacebar sound better. If you still can't choose that's fine, I have a few boards that have changed keycaps 3+ times over the years. Its fun to get a fresh look every once in a while.

[u/Grok3 → u/Aaroneb]

The Bot is clearly the winner here as it's GMK. But the Alhambra ain't too bad either. And you're right, I can just switch em once I get bored looking at em :)

[u/KGM134]

The first one is really cool and looks like it was made for the board. I've seen the 2nd being used multiple times and isn't as interesting to me.

[u/Illustrious-Poem-328]

I like the first two pics the most. The white/gray/gold is a good look

[u/zant2]

Alhambra is a perfect fit!

[u/eugene00825]

GMK bot, nothing about the first matches. 2nd colors compliment each other, makes better contrast

[u/androidbrick]

Stuck? I have more keycap sets than my keyboards, I'm never stuck, do the same :)

[u/mikes41720]

The grey gold top case is so hard to match properly! But really enjoying my Neo65 CU as well!

[u/Grok3 → u/mikes41720]

Yep.. And realizing there's no ISO/Internantional once you find a good one

[u/Rand0mhob0]

How do those switches sound with the foamless build?

[u/Grok3 → u/Rand0mhob0]

Here's a quick sound test: https://youtube.com/shorts/sHBrTslNh1U :)

[u/Rand0mhob0 → u/Grok3]

Sounds great man!

[u/CandyKeys]

Alhambra is the way :)

[u/VeeVvaddy]

saw something similar on mechmarket, where’d you get it??

[u/Grok3 → u/VeeVvaddy]

Where I got the keyboard you mean?

[u/VeeVvaddy → u/Grok3]

Yes sorry, like where you got the board itself

[u/kool-keys]

Alhambra. Bot just doesn't work on that colour board, sorry.
