(Please, BEFORE BUYING THIS KEYBOARD! visit the company's web site: http://www.cidooo.com/enindex.htm a non-https, broken web site that does not even list this keyboard. Would you buy a product from a company who cannot even bother to get their web site right? And post sales support, none to speak of!)

In this video I take a look at the Cidoo V65, a 65% two mode gasket mount knob keyboard with VIA. I've been wanting to get a hold of this board since I first spotted it, I was excited and I had high expectations, but was severely let down.
