There’s nothing quite like the first real typing session on a freshly built keyboard. You get to feel every switch, every stabilizer, and every little acoustic signature your setup creates.

After building my pink Weikav Lucky65 V2 with Zouce Bubblegum Linear Switches, along with the the fun and wacky Pastel Chaos keycap seti, I was fully prepared for a dreamy typing experience, and that’s exactly what I got.

This is one of the builds that makes me want to tweak more than the switches and keycaps, since the Weikav Lucky65 V2 features a ball-catch screwless design, it should be easy to disassemble the keyboard; no screws, no tools, just a few gentle tugs and the case opens up.

Light, Creamy, and Satisfying (Mostly)

Let’s start with the good, because there’s a lot of it.

The Zouce Bubblegum Linear switches are every bit as smooth as I hoped. Each keystroke glides down with a soft, creamy resistance that feels both buttery and responsive. Paired with the Pastel Chaos keycaps, which are sculpted beautifully and feel great under the fingers, the typing sound is delightfully muted and consistent. It leans toward the ASMR side of the sound spectrum: not clacky or loud, just a gentle, soft thock with each press.

Typing on this setup honestly feels like running your fingers across bubble tea pearls; smooth, soft, and a little addictive.

The Stabilizer Situation

Now, for the part that pulled me out of the dream: the stock stabilizers.

The Lucky65 V2 kit comes with plate-mounted XinMeng V2 stabilizers, pre-lubed from the factory. I noticed they were a little mushy on certain keys. The spacebar and backspace in particular felt like they had a delayed return, almost as if the stabilizers were hesitating before bouncing back (or not wanting to bounce back at all).

It didn’t ruin the experience entirely, but it definitely disrupted the smoothness I was going for. That stiff mushy feel stood out against the otherwise excellent switch feel. Turns out that there was probably too much lubricant, and mashing out the spacebar a few more times tuned it back into place for a more enjoyable experience.

Final Thoughts on the Typing Experience

Despite the stabilizer hiccup, the overall typing experience on this Lucky65 V2 build is one of the most satisfying I’ve had in a while. The combo of Bubblegum switches and Pastel Chaos keycaps brings a level of softness and personality that makes every typing session feel cozy and creative.
