    I sincerely appreciate this video / series. It does not seek to entertain, but rather to educate.
    While I love our community creators like HipyoTech & Glarses - this is more so the type of content that I needed to see as a beginner.

    I think there is probably a big untapped market for custom full size keyboards. A lot of people (myself included) just like having the comfort of having all 104 standard keys. I just found out about the Pangea, and I'll probably buy one of those. The kind of people who just want to buy a nice looking quality keyboard that will last for 30 years. If it's worth spending $400 on a monitor, a keyboard is probably worth spending $400 on as well. So just like a nice premium aluminum custom keyboard. Instead, you basically have a choice between Keychron Q6 (or Pro/Max) and Monsgeek M5, two keyboards with basically no customization options.

    Novelkeys never fixed aluvia, they send replacement keycaps and they were worse than the keycaps they were replacing and my own local vendor had to fix it. I know they might have been good for other things but Aluvia was a massive fuckup, the QC was a mess

    do agree with most, but how can you get TX for 4-6 dollars? even on taobao it's about 7USD

      If taobao tx are at $7, then $7 is your benchmark

    I dont get this idea of buying new switches with funny names, rainbow colors and put 40x THOCC in ur video, when you get legit get mx blacks, brake them, diamond polish them if u are able to, spring swap to ur OWN prefered feel and weight and coat the stem with little lube BOOM, smoothest shit that ever existed with a sharp CLACK.

    most of the issues in this hobby are caused by late stage capitalism, luckily there are plenty of people who are not motivated by money in the here.
