Hello!
My name is Hugh, and I enjoy making mechanical keyboard content.
These videos include sound tests, reviews, guides, and other keeb-related videos. It's just a hobby for me, and something I like to do in my spare time. Are they the most high quality videos? No. But that's never my intention.
For the sound tests, we all know that it's difficult to capture exactly what a board sounds like in real life, and even if you DO capture what your keeb sounds like perfectly, it's not always going to sound like that exactly if you use that keeb on another person's desk or work space, and everyone has different ears and set-ups, so don't think of my videos as what a board will 100% sound like or a review video, but just mostly for entertainment value and showcasing various boards.
For the review videos, PLEASE make sure to pay attention to the disclaimers!

________________________
Not every sound test will mimic what a keyboard sounds like in real life. I suggest listening to other sound tests and taking everything with a grain of salt.
I am not a professional, my room is not sound-treated, and a lot of my boom arms are attached to the desk that I am typing on.
I do not do sound tests to be as accurate as possible and portray what a board sounds like perfectly in real life. This is something I do for fun!
I hope that using different mics will illustrate that depending on your mic, you may catch higher/lower frequencies better than other mics, and some mics sound naturally “brighter” or “darker” than other mics, even without any filters or any sort of post-processing.
At the very least, you can compare configs that sound louder/higher pitched and which sound quieter or more muted.

dcx green marble looks so good i just ordered mine
It looks so good in person!! I'm excited for you to have the set in hand. Please let me know what you think of it when you do get it!
One of the most important videos for the hobby for both newcomers and veterans
For me, it can be uncomfortable to be introspective, but important for sure! Hopefully we'll be in the hobby for a few more years to come!
I'll throw up a kbcompare link after work for easier listening to compare between the three sets
that geon f2-60 sounds so good! I've been trying to get one for a long time.
Right!??! It's been 3 years, but the wait has been worth it for sure! I can't wait until Geon puts more on sale so everyone that wants one can get one
Sorry again for the colour balance issue. I was at a friend's house and recorded everything, then realized the mistake afterwards. We tried to correct it in the editing software but to no avail/skill issue. For future vids, I'll be using my trusty camcorder as usual so no more issues!

That's the config I'm currently rocking! BTW, would you rather have timestamps showing up on screen (currently) as chapters, yet not every timestamp shows OR no timestamps showing up on screen as chapters, yet every single timestamp is notated in the video description? I love chapters, but I always hit the max and if I go over, chapters won't show at all. But if I want chapters to show... I have to omit some timestamps and put them here in the comments section versus in the video description
@@HubertTheMad I think what you should do is keep listing detailed timestamps in the description or in a comment, but then make the actual chapters more broad. In this video I was thinking you could make the chapters sorted by switch and then leave the keycap timestamps in the description and comment maybe?
@justanotherpxrson I think that's best. I wish I could have all timestamps and chapters show up, but separating via switch is probably the best bet with longer chapters like you said. Imagine having this issue :sadpepe:
@@HubertTheMad Honestly, navigating the chapters with them being so tiny is a pain so I use the timestamps anyways. I think this will make it easier.
Sorry for the color and footage being off. Filmed everything at my friend's house with his camera, and we didn't realize until we had already wrapped up filming that the color balance was not right. I tried correcting it with his software but couldn't quite get it. Future videos won't have this issue!

Hi, I was just wondering how the Cherry on PP build sounded for you in person? I have mine built with MX Black on PP and the board just sounds so muted and not even close to your soundtest. I'm also running GMK by the way. Thanks for the video :D
@@lllun4r Hello! Hmm, interesting... Did you film your mx blacks? If so, I dislike filming modern cherries because in my experience, hyperglides and the new MX2As get too muted, even with thin films
@@HubertTheMad I did use swagkeys poron film on it, but that batch sounded fine on another board. Or could it be that I was running the PP build on a hotswap PCB?
@lllun4r It shouldn't be too big of a difference (hotswap vs solder) since only the plateless build was on a soldered PCB in my test, but I do wonder if it's just a case of the combination of PP plate (known for being on the deeper side of the plastic plates) along with poron switch films being a material that can make switches sound deep as well being too "strong" of a lower pitch combo for the kohaku. What build did you try the mx blacks on besides the kohaku?
@@HubertTheMad Well that’s pretty interesting. I was under the impression that PP tends to lean on the louder side but maybe because I was running them on TKLs with mx blacks like the cloudline and cw88 as opposed to the kohaku with its poron gasket. Could be that the combination of everything I put in the build that dampens the sound too much for my likings. Also the batch of switch was built on my cloudline (alu top mount, and the switches were not mechanically broken in. Yeah I know it’s not a fair comparision). Thank you for the insights, that was very helpful.
@lllun4r For sure, there are a lot of factors when it comes to sound, mounting style definitely plays a part like you said as well as the size of the board (and so many other things), but I hope you find a config that you enjoy!
Great video, with how many keyboards come out every year many of us (especially me lol) struggle with maintaining a healthy interest in the hobby. I like the point you made about things going wrong even if you do research, the number of people who have lost interest in the hobby after a terrible group buy experience is probably pretty high. Imo, the most fulfilling thing in the hobby is designing your own boards. It's not for everyone, and can get pricey fast, but getting a good prototype of something you designed is a feeling unparalleled.
Thanks for the kind words! Haha, I agree. Sometimes, hobbies have a shelf life and/or breaks definitely have to be taken. Yeah, I feel for people that have had bad GB experiences, through no fault of their own... I'm looking forward to seeing how your prototype(s) turn out! I bet it's been a fun yet somewhat challenging process!
yoooo remiiii
If you haven't been planning on buying something, just because you buy it during BFCM doesn't mean you're saving money. BFCM can trick you into having FOMO and impulse buying. Don't forget to pause and think before you buy. Stay financially healthy, everyone!
I really like the background info part! It's very interesting for nerds like me, hehe also these keycaps do look very cooool
I too like measurements and am a nerd ♥
NGL..That jixte with DCX Green Marble sounds like my Kei with GMK Symbiote
If I wasn't interested in doing that sound test with GMK and DCX ABS before, I definitely am now!
Oh man does DCS sound good on the Kohaku!
Yaaaaa!
first. Sound is subjective but to me I think the Green Marble sounds closer to a GMK then your typical pbt but its probably closer to a DCX ABS set then GMK. That would have been interesting, comparing DCX ABS vs DCX DS PBT. But honestly, its surprising how far pbt has come these days. I don't mind picking up a quality pbt set at all anymore. That being said, I think the CRP sounds the best followed closely by the DCD Hundred Acres (btw I bought a set + novelties for my wife after watching your review. She loves it).
So fast! I wasn't even done adding the descripting haha. I'm looking forward to seeing more DCX PBT and hopefully, this green marble set will get a bit of a discount in the upcoming sales
@@HubertTheMad lol yea I was scrolling through and saw this pop up so watched it immediately. Been busy packing up for a move so I haven't been posting much but I would be interested in watching a DCX ABS vs DCX DS PBT vs GMK comparison, whenever you get a chance :)
@@versecurated Hope your move goes well! Glad to hear that your wife is enjoying DCD HA, and that's a great idea for a comparison vid. I'll definitely record that and post it in the near future with a few more mics (I only had access to the Lewitts for this sound test and I had to grab footage and sound from an older vid for the DCD/XMI/JCS/CRP portions)!
Everything sounds amazing. These might be your best sounding boards in my opinion.
The Jixtes are definitely great boards! I think I use them the second most out of all of my personal boards with the muramasa being my work board
Full Review Video - th-cam.com/video/-9VhIgsvEqE/w-d-xo.html I don't have any doubleshot PBT sets on hand so please know that the DCD, JCS, XMI, and CRP sets are all dye sub if that makes a difference to you.
Did you use any foams? or tape mod? this sounds too good
@@JomKarloVerzosa Good question! I can't remember (it's been 2+ years and I sold this board a long time ago), but I'm pretty sure that based on what I knew then, I just kept everything stock (what the board came in as is what I recorded) and just added switches and keycaps. Do know that my recording set up during this time wasn't the best, so it may not sound as similar as this video shows!
that pc version is so hot
I really like the Plateless Browns DCS build, sounded so good
@@51p50x SAME! If/when I get my Kohaku back, I want to also do a plateless browns dcs build haha (although it will only be for a short time because I'm planning on giving it away as a wedding present). Maybe I'll try browns in the QFRL with a PP/PC plate too since I'm on a browns kick
@@HubertTheMad browns with pp/pc plate is a good combo too + qfrl should sound amazing because of the size. I'm planing to build mine with the standard mx blacks + alu plate
awesome soundtest as usual!
Nice!
whats ur wpm
120-130+ WPM if I type for 4-5 minutes or so like this with normal sentences! I've actually never tried anything shorter or any other method, so I wonder how fast I can truly go if I try a burst method
oh what's this? you added a kohaku to your collection. very nice! I love the kohaku but wish it was in 60%. I am just getting by with my Kei v2 and Korn until they make a 60% kohaku lol. Sounds incredible in all iterations but love the plateless with Browns and handarbeit! Followed by the PP plate.
Haha, I wish! This is actually my friend's Kohaku that he won from the most recent raffles (won a chance to buy it). I actually won a green one last year, but I've been letting a friend borrow it since the beginning of this year. I actually had forgotten how nice a Kohaku can be, but I also agree with liking a 60% more. I know Elaine/Singa are working on another 60% that isn't the Unikorn, but man do I wish I could've won a Korn raffle. That's awesome how you have a Kei and a Korn. It definitely sounds nice for sure in many configs!
Veri nais
Another banger
oh boy he got his hands on the fish board 👀very very clean
Haha, this is actually my neighbor's board! I was fortunate enough to be able to get one of the R2 units a year or so ago when they had a raffle for those in green (this one is my board: th-cam.com/video/ysoCkBiE09g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_euYrmTakTQnZbxH). Although it's been with a friend now so he could try it. I should be getting it back soon though! I've forgotten what a Kohaku sounds and feels like lol
@@HubertTheMad oh my mistake! both are very lovely boards! Crazy that you and your neighbor have one hahaha the keeb community is insane

I suggest listening to other sound tests and taking everything with a grain of salt.

I do not do sound tests to be as accurate as possible and portray what a board sounds like perfectly in real life. This is something I do for fun! I hope that using different mics will illustrate that depending on your mic, you may catch higher/lower frequencies better than other mics, and some mics sound naturally “brighter” or “darker” than other mics, even without any filters or any sort of post-processing. At the very least, you can compare configs that sound louder/higher pitched and which sound quieter or more muted.

For sure! I know not everyone has the time (or wants to) watch the whole vid, so I try and put a TL;DW at the beginning
Will cstm65 be good for gaming?
@@vagician5743 My opinion (not necessarily "correct", but it's what I believe) is that any board can be good for gaming for the most part, because "gaming keyboards" don't make as big of a difference than someone's skill level. You see hall effect touted as "the best for gaming", but for most people, we wouldn't be able to tell the difference/it doesn't make a difference. I won't say that it will NEVER make a difference, because that's talking in absolutes though. I never used the CSTM for gaming, but I think it would work fine just like many other boards as well
@@HubertTheMad thanks man looking to get the cstm65 today
Should I choose aifei or jtk, does jtk sound better?
@@phucmai5458 Check out my new video with more sound tests here! th-cam.com/video/0Php5kFkPHM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_WCMUOdkBb4iI-xX For me, it's hard to get JTK super cheap, but if you can get it cheap, I think it's very nice. But in terms of price, Aifei seems like it will always be cheaper especially if bought during an AliExpress sale or something similar. Sound wise, I prefer JTK, but if it's too expensive, I would not buy

your lewitt matched pencil condensers sounds the best in my opinion, it has the lowest noise floor so less background white noise. What audio interface are you using? I have a samson q9u on xlr to my volt1 and I get much less noise. I also have a MKE600 and a Se8 that I've been too lazy to setup but every time I listen to your soundtests, makes me realize that I really should lol. Awesome sound test btw. your PC jixte is my favorite but the purple jixte with the cherry reds sounds the best. LMK if you ever need to move your pc jixte 😁
Agreed! The Lewitts (besides the VideoMic Go II on my camcorder) are the only mics that aren't in contact with my typing surface (desk) either. The rest are on boom arms attached to my typing desk. Yeah, my Q9U has been through the ringer, and every now and then, I hear some sussiness from it (it's been sent to Samson to refurb once already). I actually run it USB just like the Q2U (and the VMG II) because my audio interface (Audient Evo 8) has the Lewitts, Rode NT1, and AT2020 hooked up through it, so no more space haha. For real! Sometimes, it's a pain (even though it can be relatively quick) to set everything up, so sometimes I just use one or two mics instead of all of the ones at my disposal. All the mics except for the two Samsons, the Lewitts, and the VMGII are my neighbor's, so I borrow the NT1 and AT2020 from him whenever I want to record a longform sound test video 😁 Haha, for sure. I'm not usually a fan of PC boards, but this PC Jixte is pretty nice
IMO, Keeping the same board and changing the mic makes it easier to tell how the board actually sounds. It gives a lot of different data points and I can kind of extrapolate how I think the board would sound IRL. On the other hand, keeping the mic constant and changing between boards makes it easier to compare the boards relative to one another. Since I can hear the boards back to back (w/ same mic) I can tell if one is deeper, harsher, thinner, ect. than the others. If I had to choose it would be the new format: mic constant, keyboards changing. For me, I really value the comparison between keyboards. If I know a certain board/switch/keycap combo has the "sound" I want, Then it's very valuable to hear how that sound profile stacks up against others with the same mic. That being said, I think having more than one mic is valuable since it allows hearing the board from different "angles". This Sometimes let's me pick up on details I would have missed with one mic if that makes sense? Anyway, regardless of what you decide, these videos are super helpful to me. I appreciate you putting in the considerable time to make these sound test available to everyone!
Thanks for your detailed thoughts, Mark! I appreciate your comments as always, and I agree with your points. Honestly, I'm not in the content creation game to get views or subscribers, just as something fun to do and with the occasional opportunity to be useful to someone else. Because of the way I edit and put clips together, if I use one format, the other is basically "already done" for me, so all I have to do is to create a new timeline/video to use said format. Since that's the case... I'm just going to do both formats going forward whenever I release sound test videos! I figure people can pick and choose what they'd like and when. Hope all is well in your part of the world, and thanks again for your input!
@@HubertTheMad Doing both formats sounds great, can’t go wrong there. Things are good here, a Flip 6p is on the way in the mail! I want to try out some less common styles of keyboards without breaking the bank. And a 60% + Southpaw keypad seems really unique while also possibly being really practical for coding!
@@markpew8111 oh i got my flip 6p last week! i'm a sucker for 70ish% keyboards with No F row. I put some Broken in Lubed and Filmed Nixies in it and OMG it sounds so good!!!!! Been a fan of DR since the DR70F! Now I am just waiting for them to do a 60% with a flipable macro column.

I suggest listening to other sound tests and taking everything with a grain of salt. I am not a professional, my room is not sound-treated, and a lot of my boom arms are attached to the desk that I am typing on. I do not do sound tests to be as accurate as possible and portray what a board sounds like perfectly in real life. This is something I do for fun! I hope that using different mics will illustrate that depending on your mic, you may catch higher/lower frequencies better than other mics, and some mics sound naturally “brighter” or “darker” than other mics, even without any filters or any sort of post-processing. At the very least, you can compare configs that sound louder/higher pitched and which sound quieter or more muted. __________________________ Spoken Jixte Review: th-cam.com/video/-hOvr70jLRQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wTM3B_-lUJqkYAtb Other Sound Test Compilation: th-cam.com/video/JkH2Qdag_8I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JvRu8nU1v-fCtC6H __________________________ Sound Test Specs - Recorded in an untreated room, so background noises can sometimes be heard (and outside noise) - Glorious 4mm thick desk mat on a solid wood desk - Panasonic HDC-TM90 Camcorder - Audio normalization in DaVinci Resolve for easier listening, but no other sort of EQ or alterations were made to the audio - Recorded in Reaper and rendered in 24-bit/48 kHz - Audio interface sample rates at 48 kHz Mic specs - Lewitt 040 Matched pair of small diaphragm condenser mics in AB configuration mounted on a mic stand not in contact with the desk that I type on running into an Audient Evo 8, gain set at two thirty - Rode VideoMic GO II mounted on my camcorder, 3 feet diagonally from the keyboard and not in contact with the desk - Rode NT1 5th Gen condenser mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on running into an Audient Evo 8, gain set at 2 O’Clock - Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on running into an Audient Evo 8, gain set at 2 O’Clock - Samson Q2U dynamic mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on using USB mode, gain set at 45% - Samson Q9U dynamic mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on using USB mode, gain set at 45%, no filters or mid-boosts on - Google Pixel 7 Pro mounted on a gooseneck mount not connected to the desk used to type on - The Samson Q2U, Samson Q9U, Rode NT1 5th Gen, and AT2020 are in some way attached to the typing desk.

Did you coat yours? I'm thinking about how I can protect my raw Glare TKL.
@@WakaaYT I did not! But that is because I plan on having it cerakoted in the near future (dunno what color(s) or finishing yet though). Agreed, it can scratch/damage easily, which is my main concern. I have two raw boards and even placing it on the ground with an accidental tree branch scratched the back of it. If you want to keep the color itself, I'd look into clear coating options, or if you want a specific color, maybe cerakoting may also be a good option. Or, if you're super careful, I'm sure you can use it raw as well. If I had just kept it on my desk, I probably wouldn't have scratched it versus taking it outside for some pictures
@@HubertTheMad Thank you for the insight! Really appreciate it.
@@WakaaYT of course! Thank you for your comment, and let me know what you decide! The Glare TKL is such a fantastic board
where can I find the PC Jixte to buy ?
I'm almost done editing a review video for the PC (and aluminum) Jixtes and will have it completed by this weekend! You will have to build one by adding a PC case (frosted PC or black) and a weight combo (inner and external weight): paramountkeeb.com/products/type0-jixte-60-cnc-bakeneko-case-build-your-own-extras-weights-plates?variant=44454882476251 I say to wait for the next Paramountkeeb sale to get it 20-25% off (maybe during the Holidays like last year) though
i see Keris dagger
Yes!! I was born in Semarang, so it is a Keris that we have at home in Javanese that says "kesempatan ora teko kaping pindho"
I got 2 of these keyboards, Can I get replacement buttons? Can you point me somewhere?
Do you mean switches? To replace the Cherry MX browns or blues?
ya but does the light shine thought the letters and numbers? prolly not.
@@DaLizMs ohhhh you mean replacement keycaps? There are some keycaps that do let light shine through and even the legends, however, it will be hard to get a correct size spacebar because this keyboard uses a spacebar size that isn't common. What country are you in? I can tell you about some places where you can get keycaps, but I don't know about the spacebar
How u rate the diff keycaps to GMK? And how would u tier them after having tried them all side-by-side? Curious about your curious since you recorded them all IRL
Thanks for your question! Keep in mind, this is just MY opinion, and I can only talk about the US keycap market, so I don't know what brands are available in other parts of the world/what's readily accessible. Feel: I can't give a solid opinion regarding the feel of the keycaps. While I can definitely tell if a keycap manu has a suuuper rough keycap texture (like some Tai Hao keycaps) or a very smooth texture (super shined/worn GMK), none of these keycaps made me think "oh wow, this is super smooth" or "dang, the texture of these is insane!" New GMK sets do have some noticeable texture to them, but feel in terms of keycaps is not important to me, so I don't really pay attention to texture (unless, again, it's blatantly obvious that one is smoother/rougher than others). Sound: I think that KKB and JTK sound very similar to GMK. More importantly, when typing at my usual speed and not spamming mods or the spacebar, it's very hard to tell between some of them. DMK sounds similar to GMK as well during normal typing, and because I type normally 99% of the time and mod spam/spacebar spam infrequently when using my keycaps, mod spam is fun to do and it's fun to notice the differences when doing so, but actual typing is where the different brands are super similar. Except for DCS of course. Due to DCS being much thinner than the others, it's much more higher pitched. But normal typing? JTK/KKB/DMK sound pretty dang close to GMK! The Lewitt Mics ONLY vid may be more useful to determine the differences (still can't get past the KBCompare errors, but I'll keep trying. I think using KBCompare is the best way to differentiate between keycap sounds). Aesthetics/Looks: This category is similar to feel. Unless the legending is horrible, or the font is irregular (the B being more bold than the U for example, or the placement of fonts are inconsistent), generally, I'm OK. Now, would I pay $100 for crappy legending? No, but I rarely spend that much anyways (more on that when I talk about price below). The keycaps that I enjoyed besides GMK when it came to legending and font were KKB and JTK, but it's not like the rest were significantly worse. I wasn't a fan of how the font on Mode keycaps were like, or the mods for the Shurikey keycaps, but again, I don't expect GMK-level quality of legending or consistency from a $30 keycap set (Shurikey), and I think Mode just chose to use that font on purpose. Price: This is where things have changed drastically. A few years ago, it was difficult for BNIB GMK to be $35-$80 shipped. NOW? It's very common. Of course, not all colorways will be $35-$80 shipped, but the the US aftermarket for GMK and vendors running sales for GMK quite frequently is great for us buyers. It's definitely a buyer's market right now. I love GMK, so it's hard for me to spend $80 shipped on a non-GMK set when I could get a GMK set for as much, if not cheaper brand new. If it's a project that I want to support (like KKB JIndo, KKB Skidata Neo, a JTK colorway, and so on), then I have no issues spending $80 shipped or a bit more. But outside of those? Due to the ease of which I can get GMK for $35-$80 shipped, and because I personally am not super picky when it comes to colorways, non-GMK offerings don't intrigue me as much. That doesn't mean that every build I use will sound the best when I use GMK though. There are some builds that really shine with DMK, especially the spacebar (my Cycle7 comes to mind), DCS for plateless cherry mx browns, and so on. But generally, I'm happy with the fact that GMK goes on sale quite often and it's easy to nab GMK at much cheaper prices than before, so I don't really bother buying other keycaps, even if I know that GMK may not be the perfect keycap selection for every board sound (or looks) wise!
thank you for this
@@jzunltyq Thank YOU! I hope it's somewhat useful
pp plate or plateless which do you think give the best spacebar sound in your opinion? I find plateless spacebar sounds awesome
@@ziqoxd For me, I really liked how the PP (and POM for the Glare TKL) plate made the Geon Black liners sound, BUT, I've never tried plateless on either Glare, so maybe, plateless would also sound equally as good! I would say if you have it plateless and already enjoy it, no need to try PP or any other plate (since, in the end, what's most important is that you enjoy it). I've had many boards where I really liked the sound of my plateless config and other boards where a plate sounded better, so it's always dependent on the board itself and the switches used!
Thank you
The most objective and complete key sound comparison I've seen so far 👌🏻. Thanks for the effort.
@@gonzalogarcia5233 Thanks for the kind words! Still double-checking the timestamps to make sure they're accurate, but I'll make sure they are by the end of today
