Since so many newbies will try to get Kang whites now, it's worth mentioning that other basic ktt switches are the same mold and will perform and sound the same. Just get the color/spring style you prefer
Bro I was so disappointed when I compared the Kang White, Grapefruit, Sea Salt, Peach, Mint, Halu Halo, and Rose(?) and found out they're all the same material with some having different spring height
My only problem that I have with it is the fact that it only runs on battery. I mean I understand that it is budget but I would have prefer it more if it is rechargeable
The tea shaft is an upgraded version of membrane keyboard (imo), I recommend getting a red shaft which has a softer touch and a quicker response, green shaft if u like the clicking sound and I heard many students loves it, black shaft is abit too heavy but it's the most sensitive and quickest response. Hope this help when choosing your caps...
@@purplelord8531 yeah the tea shaft typing experience was somewhat similar to that of Logitech non-mechanical keyboard imo, like the MK series etc but slightly better typing feels. The caps does not have that much of crisp sound when typing, but it differs for everyone, some may like using it some may not :)
the difference in sound between the dynamic and camera mics was interesting. Which was closer to your experience of how they keyboard actually sounded? Feels like a bit disingenuous if many people making content on keyboards aren't giving a fair representation of how their keyboards actually sound (I'm new the custom keyboards but If I was dropping big money on a kit I'd be annoyed if I couldn't get it to sound like in the videos)
i would say imagine 25% of a camera mic and 75% of the dynamic mic, the camera mic feels realistic as it had distance away from the keyboard like how you would be, and the dynamic provided the accurate sound depth!
There's several reasons a camera mic may sound different: 1. Camera uses omnidirectional microphone (catches more reverb in the room and clashing frequencies that may drown out true sound than a directional) vs. cardioid pattern of dynamic mic (will not capture as many sounds around it, mainly focused on direction it is pointed) 2. Poor quality mic (camera) will literally cut off low frequencies/not pick them up Both of these can result in vastly different sounds. Most of the (obvious) difference you'll hear is the difference in low-end frequency capture between the two microphones.
I bought KTT kang whites v3 for my first custom and damn boy they are so sick. I “overlubed” them cause i like how that amount of lube feels and sounds. However its not to the point where you get that squishy sound. Its just more than what people on youtube recommend. Its a sick switch, I eventually picked up the ktt peach but those are stock and they need to be lubed. Still decent though.
Thank you for sharing that, great leaning about so many other sources available for building on a budget. And for mixing your content reach all levels.
the issue i have with finding MEGA cheap keyboard kits, parts, etc. is i'm not sure what websites other than amazon and kbdfans are safe, like aliexpress always seems to have what i'm looking for but i know if i order from there it's usually a scam. would like some good places to order from (in the US btw)
There are scams out there but I’ve bought a whole lot of various random keyboard parts on there and haven’t been scammed before. If you really are worried about it not being safe then you could just buy from sellers who are known to be good
Hello, do you think that the Gas67 is good in quality? I'd like to build my first keyboard and would like to use it a lot. I mean 3 hours a day for at least a few years, do you think the PCB has a good enough quality? I've been using some random membrane keyboard for 3 years and it is completely fine, so do you think that would be possible with this one as well? Thanks a lot!
stopped using taobao after my account was suspended for no reason, and the cs is very hard to reach (also hard to communicate for non chinese speaking cusomers so yea..)
I built a gmk67 with akko cream blues for £38 with some really really nice keycaps i spent another £20 on beter stabalizers and lube and lubeing kits to lube my switches and stabs
thankuu for such an encouraging video,, im currently learning more about keyboards to custom my own that i got off shopee so i subbed to you yk must support local talent and im rly glad i came across your channel >
Hello Lewis i really love your videos ive been modding keyboards for a while, and it's amazing the content you bring, also i wanted to know if you have any recommendation for a linear switch for gaming and also a keyboard that is 65 68 percent for it.
Since so many newbies will try to get Kang whites now, it's worth mentioning that other basic ktt switches are the same mold and will perform and sound the same. Just get the color/spring style you prefer
yeah
What would you consider other "basic ktt switches"? Red wines? Ktt mints? Sea salt lemons? Strawberry?
@@Green-Man i would consider the sea salts!!!
@@Green-Man cabbage tofu is probably the best
Bro I was so disappointed when I compared the Kang White, Grapefruit, Sea Salt, Peach, Mint, Halu Halo, and Rose(?) and found out they're all the same material with some having different spring height
The fact it sounds better than a ducky keyboard 💀
oop
Does other websites apart tao bao have the same parts but not price changed?
Nice vid
My only problem that I have with it is the fact that it only runs on battery. I mean I understand that it is budget but I would have prefer it more if it is rechargeable
just buy rechargeable aaa battery
didn't realize the mic would make such a big difference, which mic sounds more accurate to the irl sound?
definitely the dynamic mic
Dang Lewis. You are truly the GOAT of keyboards.
ayy thanks man
i have never seen anyone sponsored by taobao before 😂
same

Hey Lewis, do you buy it from taobao by air freight? Or by shipping freight?
Perez Maria Martin Shirley Robinson Patricia
Did you pay for fast shipping or did you just do normal sea frieght shipping?
5:23 you need a new lube brush bru 💀
no u
when i did the conversion it was 2.59, child slavery or fake?
0:05 There are so many kids out there at really cheap prices 💀💀💀
Great video, very helpful
25!? And it sounds that good with brown switch’s Jesus Christ lol
Can u send the link of the Keyboard shell
Is there anyway i could access taobao because i dont have a chinese phone number
😭
ur skin looking a lot better
Lewis can you make a video about various springs (type, material, weight, stiffness, etc.) and how they sound/feel in various switch materials? :)
BRING BACK ODD SWITCH MAYBE
Gg I tried to register account and use my phone number but it keeps getting errors so I can't even use the app
You actually can get cheaper price if u search in chinese
Doesnt ship to lithuania sad
HOW DO YOU TRANSLATE PLEASE ?
dude give me one of ur keyboards pls
wtf mr toe, your english accent improved drastically !
thanks !
Do they have an rgb version of this kit ?
How does he translate Taobao ?
Now do the goofiest keyboard ever.
what does that entail
Genuinely just asking lol
Were the new switches pre lubed?
hello
hey
use 闲鱼. it's like taobao but it's individual buyers. i bought my qk65 and this already built kbd67lite from there
sheesh
Plz do a vid on the tester84
Hi, I just build custom budget keyboard the board is ciy68 at $30 with keycap at$40 for my
Cousin
yay
You sound so Singapore man
dang those keycaps are fire for $12

@Lewis Toh 28.10.2022
ay yo
Do you need a Chinese phone number to sign up for Taobao? Does their 2FA work with North American numbers?
nope any number works
first?
maybe
no
Yes you are
you are
Mr.Lewis in terms of flex and softness when typing only. Does spr67 beat all of the high end board Ex. Tiger80 Thera75 Class80?
its a different feeling, although its bouncy, you can tell its springs, definitely much more flexy
does taobao ships to eu?
What about the MW65
any chance of putting this keyboard for sale? would love to own one of your budget builds
one day yes
Does the Kang whites have interference with cherry profile keycaps?
didnt feel any actually
for $25 is not bad
aside from KTT, JWK sells cheap switches too
yes
Ktt kang whites help me win the custom keyboard contest in a recent keyboard meet. Definitely a buttery switch lubed.
isn't taobao worldwide the same as aliexpress
yes
Finally Budget Keyboard content #longtimenosee
