Simon and Geon are good keyboard friends

[@Fvu31]

Great review! I was able to get one of the few Crayon W1 during the drop. I went basic cherry mx blacks spring swapped with 205g0, 1.6mm pcb, GMK, default layout (all possible stabs) and the default tadpoles. Overall, I really love the sound and feel of the board! Its super loud (especially the spacebar) and it feels flexy enough for me. I do agree that the layout is very Weird and took some time to get used to. After 2 week, I changed the full right shift for a split so that I can have HHKB arrows. I now see this board as a WKL 60%+numpad+8 mod keys. It really is a fun board to use!

Simon, when would you recommend driving in downtown bussy town with the W1-AT to avoid rush hour?

[@Blacksimon]

I would not, something more compact like an iS0 would be better for sure

[@katdog]

thanks keybort friend

[@Instinct0425]

great video simon. great job with the board too 😉

[@hammerbrothatypecast680]

Great review Simon! thanks for your streams.

[@pontus5013]

Great review as always! :)

[@deathmetalandkeyboards2200]

i think this simon fella is a good keyboard friend

[@muto4330]

I'd say try top mount. It feels more consistent imo. I found the board is too deep with CRP and 204 lubed cherries. I compensated for the pitch with DCS

[@HubertTheMad]

I love my W1-AT! Thanks for the review.
Interested in how Paul will build yours if you're still planning on having him build it.
Edit: grammar

[@Blacksimon]

He's gonna meme it

[@szabozoltan3165]

ISO Enter + Long LShift is superior :D

[@cordoz]

what a thumbnail, HOM

[@r_se]

hi simon i have a montage coming in soon any advice on building it? thinking of doing pc plate, desoldered broken in cherry/greetechs from razer/corsair board plus og doubleshot or gmk. going for a "classic" sound but not ultra harsh on the bottom out feel-wise.

[@Blacksimon]

Sure why not, if I'm not mistaken, it was meant to be a more stiff sandwich mount experience, but as long as you've also got a stock plate to play with, go for it

[@panka1595]

hom

[@MonkeyDLuffy-pk3xq]

Can we sometimes maybe get some soundtests with Abs caps :'3

[@Wzrd100]

How is the "top mount" done? I understand tadpoles aren't used but beyond that, do you screw the PCB into the top piece?

[@Alexander_Lawson]

Yup! There are screws instead of the tadpoles that you can use to top mount it.

[@Rafzz]

I am a weeb

[@LavenderB]

I can forgive mod tilde and mod pipe, but that mod colour key in the middle of the numpad is a crime against humanity.

[@Blacksimon]

Sadly the $21 dyesub set didn't have a 00 key :(

[@AT-vb2kq]

Omg

[@T3mina]

can i use gat yellows or pros with this pcb ?

[@Blacksimon]

Yeah should be fine

[@jammies701]

Layout support is everything you would ever want… except for split spacebar unfortunately

[@unreal_engine]

이건 하우징이 무슨 색상인가요? 실버컬러 같으면서도 아닌 것 같네요.

[@cesarbarc]

here I am once again asking for a proper screw review with sizes and thread standards smh

[@Blacksimon]

👀

[@migfernando]

less than an hour long smh my head

[@Tao-dh9yz]

obvious bait
