Title: Goldtouch V1 vs V2
Post by: intelli78 on Sat, 10 October 2015, 01:17:03

Has anyone tried both these keyboards? How does the key action compare? Build quality?

From my research it seems like there is no clear winner between the two - some people say the V2 is miles better and some say it ruined the brand.

I am interested mainly in the V1, because of the following video I found. It seems to have a really nice thock, if the audio is accurate.

I've replied to your pm. I might try to do another recording too.

I haven't seen the insides of the newer one, but all of mine (first gen) are pretty solid. I looked inside to see, if it'd be possible to make the keyboard completely split like Kinesis Freestyle (answer positive), and it was impressive.

Yes, thanks for the PM! I was able to get a NIB V1 unit for $37 shipped in the USA.

I will make a video of mine when I get it, but I would certainly like to see another one from you. You have a great YT channel.

That's a pretty decent price to pay.
