A Solid HHKB Entry, But Is It Enough? | KBDfans Agar Keyboard Review & Sound Test

Описание: In this video, we take a closer look at the Agar, KBDfans’ latest HHKB-style keyboard. With its unibody construction, silicone friction mount, and magnetic pogo pin connector, it brings some fresh ideas to the table. But how does it stack up in terms of sound, feel, and build quality?

We cover everything from its EC vs. MX variants to the long-term concerns of its mounting system, discussing whether the Agar is a great entry point or just another HHKB alternative.

Join us as we break down who this keyboard is for, its strengths and weaknesses, and if it’s worth picking up over other HHKB-inspired options. Let us know in the comments—would you go for the MX or EC version?
