Description
Sized just right at 75% – a compact mechanical keyboard layout which also features the top function row – the ID80 mechanical keyboard kit from IDOBAO makes a great fit on any desk or setup.
A separate arrow cluster is perfect for anyone that doesn’t enjoy using modifiers to use their arrows keys or finds a 60% just too small. The spacing of the F keys and the keys on the right also give this board a much nicer look than “compact” 75% boards which can look too busy and cramped.
We are big fans of the ID80 and are starting to see the popularity of this board really take off as for the price it really can’t be beaten. The sound when you pair this board with the acrylic base is just unbelievable at this price point, plus you have that option to show off that down glow RGB if that’s your thing!
This really is a beginner friendly hot swap board with big potential, you can find some sound tests above.
Featuring slick case design made from anodized aluminium, it also incorporates an integrated plate which holds your switches in place. This board is both durable and easy to build. Its PCB also features Kailh cherry mx style hot-swappable sockets, which allow users to quickly change switches without a soldering iron.
QMK and VIA programmable for custom key commands, and outfitted with a USB-C port for fast connectivity, this board is ready for work or play. We have UK stock of the IDOBAO ID80 so no waiting around for shipping!

Really really impressed with this board.
I built this board along with the acrylic base available from Cable Cult and it sounds phenomenal, I haven’t even bothered to put any foam or sorbethane in as it just sounds perfect. I have in it lubed and filmed NovelKeys Creams and am just over the moon with how it sounds.
Its got some weight to it which I love and the underglow RGB with the acrylic plate is just the right amount of RGB on a board.
Love it, would recommend to anyone!

Really like this board. Came with foam and fast to put together. Swapped the stabs for durock screw ins and built with alpacas. Sounds great.
Shipped next day and was well packed. Came with some cool cable cult stickers. Glad to have another UK vendor and will be using them again in the future for sure.

Wow, what can I say. I ordered an ID80 and acrylic base from the guys at Cable Cult and I’m absolutely over the moon with it. First of all, I placed my order on the Thursday evening and it came first thing on Saturday morning! (which is mad fast compared to the usual month long + wait of the custom keyboard industry). I fell instantly in love with the extreme level of quality of this board, not to mention that it was super fun to build! It sounds fantastic & the under-glow just adds to its minimal and clean aesthetic. 10/10 service from Cable Cult, packaging was amazing and I also received some really sweet stickers! Will definitely be using these guys again in the future. 10/10 would recommend!

I received my order yesterday and I am pretty satisfied both with the packaging and the delivery time. The keyboard itself is high quality and I would definitely recommend the Cable Cult service.
