Keydous NJ80 Review

Keydous NJ80 75% gasket-mounted hot-swappable tri-mode wireless mechanical keyboard, QMK/VIA support, PBT keycaps, budget custom build.

The NJ80 became a favorite in budget custom-keyboard circles for offering a gasket-mounted case, real QMK/VIA firmware, and tri-mode wireless at a price closer to mass-market boards than boutique group buys. It's the kind of keyboard enthusiasts recommend to friends who want to dip a toe into the custom scene without spending Keychron Q-series money.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Keychron Q3 Max, the NJ80 undercuts it substantially on price while offering a similar gasket-mount, tri-mode, QMK/VIA feature set, though the Q3 Max's CNC aluminum case and fit-and-finish are more refined. Compared with the Glorious GMMK 2, the NJ80 adds wireless connectivity the wired-only GMMK 2 doesn't have.
