Glad there's one review from our very own here in the Ph. I just recently bought it and so happy of the decision I made, I just had 75% kboards and I'm loving the 65 layout. Still tinkering and choosing the right switches to go with it.

Just got my Sugar 65 in today and it's very nice! I agree with the case feeling somewhat chalky but I do like the heft. I initially put WS Morandi in it but with all the included foam it was almost muted with those switches. I pulled them and put in some Akko Cream Blue Pros (my piano pros are going in my GMMK Pro to liven it up) and it sounds amazing with those switches, very similar to your build with the Piano Pros. For this price this is an amazing little keyboard... if only it had QMK/VIA. Thank you for the build guide and review, it definitely pushed me to get mine on order and helped with the modification process!

I own a Leobog Hi75 and let me tell you, these boards in this particular price range, is an absolute steal. The Hi75 is my first ever alu kit and I don't regret buying it. Now, I am thinking of updating my CIY GAS67 for this one, cause why not! It is definately an upgrade over the GAS67. Nice vdo btw. Keep up the good work.

Full transparency, I have not personally ordered from the linked AliExpress store. I did want to add an AliExpress / international vendor option to not limit the board coverage to just my Philippine audience. I did however check a few Sugar65 listings on the site and decided to link a vendor with the most legitimate sales of other mechanical keyboard products. So it's really more of a "buy at your own risk" link.
