It carries over the bezel proportions and rounded corners of the original Neo65 and pairs them with a new, curved bottom case. If you want a compact board that looks refined, feels substantial and sounds deep, this is a well-considered complete package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/7103\/6493\/files\/neo65-cu-65-isoansi-mechanical-aluminium-custom-keyboard-kit-preorder-897300.png?v=1771287185\" alt=\"Neo65 CU - 65% ISO+ANSI Mechanical Aluminium Custom Keyboard Kit [Preorder] - MonacoKeys\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ultra-slim side bezel keeps the look understated and lets the board blend into almost any setup. New is a layered waistline that harmonises with the brass or copper bottom: the curved bottom case softens the visual weight of the brass or copper and keeps the front profile slender and elegant despite the mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/7103\/6493\/files\/neo65cu-side.webp?v=1782758639\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePVD stainless steel weight \u0026amp; compass logo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of the aluminium battery compartment used on earlier models, the Neo65 Cu features a large, mirror-finished PVD stainless steel weight. It is more than decorative: the large surface area and higher density suppress vibrations more effectively for a more consistent typing sound. At the centre sits a compass-inspired logo that echoes the brand's visual language – the pointer matches the bottom case, while the four dots match the top case colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/7103\/6493\/files\/neo65-cu-65-isoansi-mechanical-aluminium-custom-keyboard-kit-preorder-470357.jpg?v=1771287185\" alt=\"Neo65 CU - 65% ISO+ANSI Mechanical Aluminium Custom Keyboard Kit [Preorder] - MonacoKeys\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStructure \u0026amp; acoustics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo deliver a full, hollow-free sound, Neo Studio relies on several structural measures. A chamber isolation system in the bottom case fills the space beneath the PCB while leaving enough room for typing travel – reducing hollowness even without additional foam fillers. Rather than a ball-catch mechanism, which creates unavoidable metal-on-metal contact, the Neo65 Cu uses an internal locking structure: top and bottom case are screwed together with extra buffering around the screw holes, so case ping is nearly eliminated. Combined with the dense materials – copper or brass in the bottom, stainless steel in the weight – the result is a calm, controlled sound signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-mounting: top mount \u0026amp; PCB gasket mount\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new structure allows both mounting styles in one board for the first time. The isolated top mount uses thick silicone gaskets around the mounting screws – preserving the slightly firmer feedback of a traditional top mount while reducing vibration and avoiding direct metal contact. Alternatively, the softer PCB gasket mount is available. The mounting points were tuned for the 65% layout over several rounds of prototyping so that keypresses stay consistent across all areas, including the edge keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePCB options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three PCBs are VIA-compatible, 1.6mm thick (non-flex cut), support ANSI and ISO, offer NKRO and come without per-key RGB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTri-mode hot-swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz.
