As someone who grinds aliexpress daily, I saw that you confirmed your plate was received when you actually did not get it. That doesn't mean that you got scammed, it means that it is still continuing to ship until it arrives, you just can't see tracking info anymore. I accidentally pressed "confirm recieved" on one of my packages but it still came
yes, usually it means aliexpress has done its part for delivering to your country, and it's up to your local ppostal service to contact you for updates.
I did an AliExpress build recently and it didn't go terribly. I used a Redragon K617, Tape modded it and added some case foam. Some Akko cs lavender switches and Coral Sea pbt keycaps. The stabilizers are suprisingly ok stock so I didn't feel the need to mod or replace them. Whole build came down to under 100 NZD.
If you only solder one leg, you can straighten the switch by reflowing the solder while pressing on it from the other side with your finger. Then you can go back and solder all the unsoldered legs.
That PCB looks like it supports hotswap sockets, so they're not wrong. They just don't include the individual sockets that you also need to solder on there to make it an actual hotswap board. Another big giveaway of that is the misaligned switches. The holes for the pins are much larger than usual because they need to accomodate the hotswap socket. If the holes were made to spec of the pin you wouldn't be able to turn them that much (only a little bit).
You see... The pcb was a 3 star rated product with 6 buys... I'd say anything under 4.5 star at that many buys is a scam. As a fellow Ali Express user. I've honed my skills into logical and depp diving into products before buying LOL
I love how everything he get's is like 5 cents cheaper from being good. But he chooses transparent and blue switches. But then chooses keycaps that are way more expensive. Edit: I don't love that he chooses the 5 cents cheaper items. It annoys me, He could've had a decent board.
Please consider doing a followup of this video where you dissasemble this keyboard, buy a plate to complete it as it was intended, and mod it as much as you can to make it sound and feel as good as humanly possible. (If you still have it, that is.) If you want to make it more interesting, you can make it a competition with Hipyo Tech where he takes his keyboard that he assembled from parts purchased from AliExpress too on one of his videos and see who can make their keyboard sound the best by modding it but not replacing any of the already purchased parts. (Except you getting the plate that did not originally arrive.)
Honestly this could've been a decent build if you bought j spacers to fit in between the stem and the click jacket, creating jailhouse blues which are just tactile
you 'technically' could go more budget depending on what sacrifices you'd be willing to make. Like a plateless build (with 5 pin switches) some cheapo plastic case and some sub $20 keycaps and something like jwick blacks. Should be about $50-60 excluding shipping
@@TheJackalopee Using Navys would defeat the purpose, Box Clickys actually sound good. I have them on 2 boards, Jades and Pinks and I have tried Navys.
I did a great feeling and sounding Keyboard for the Price I got the Dukharo Vn66 and I also got the Gateron Pro Milky Yellow coding and lubing the stabilizers add Foam and PBT keycaps Trust me you get a great result.
can you recommend some replacement switches for my k95? It's more for gaming or programming my first computer and I'm excited to start modifying my keyboard. I prefer aliexpress because I am from Mexico and I will not be able to get them any other way.

You built a keyboard under 100 NZD and I bought a prebuilt I’m gonna mod for 150 NZD including shipping 💀

"I mean, it's not terrible..." was the biggest cap ever
aside from the spacebar it honestly could've sounded worse
I love your videos, you should do a tutorial on a 200-300 dollar keyboard!

That switch alignment LE MOW
Super enjoyable video to watch even though it physically hurt me to listen to the sound test😂👍
I didnt know you watched squashy
@@agwpg1238 same
At least the build was doable because the pcb was soldered.(unfort 3pin though) I'm too scared to do a plateless hotswap board

@@RandomPerson-gy5lx literally the answer for most of the things he has done
*breaks rules for keycaps
*Can't lose a few cents to not have clickies
The key caps actully look really good
Its always a good day if squashy boy uploads!
Dang if the plates actually arrived, it wouldn’t be that bad… besides the scratchy switches.

Honestly with the way the mic picked up the switches sound, the blues didn’t sound that bad…somehow

at that point i would rather buy browns
@@SquashyBoy lmao
Nice video! Keep up on the keyboard videos.
Thanks, will do!
The sound effects while putting the switches on are on point
The best part of the video is when he is putting in the switches😂
Switch and click talks like she’s the villain in a kids show
Tm680 with the pbt mars green keycaps. You can't get anymore budget than that

The fact that his keyboard he made sounds like a $110 razer keyboard is just..
the k-on! music at the beginning😍
400k SO CLOSE YOU GOT THIS
I actually love the look of this keyboard
Budget keyboard from budget site on a budget making it the most budgeted budget board on a budget
i used to watch this man for his osu videos now im searching for mechanical keyboard and now i find him again, my life is coming full circle
"good -"??? ahahaha love your videos man. keep it up
1:53 squashy sounds like Steven he lmao
First, Squashy got me into Osu, and now keyboards, bro you are soo entertaining and make everything very fun. ❤️
glad you’re enjoying your time here :))
@@SquashyBoy we all are lol
I feel like the blues aren't complete without rattily stabilizers lmao
the next video will be "Modding the cheapest custom keyboard"
Finally a keyboard to rival my own
Yknow it's a bad hobby when 100$ is considered budget build.
really thought that keyboard was about to get smashed at the end
You should check out FL Esports MK870
You should fully customize and modify a membrane keyboard 😳
He did that
th-cam.com/video/HXT6Mv_6Wyk/w-d-xo.html
I have diyed mine and it honestly sounds pretty good lol
He already did that
@@bre4discool385 like fully customize?
"These 4 dollar keycaps look terrible!"
*shows the exact color of keycaps I'm looking for*
Another day another quality ur vid from the father of custom keyboards
mmm look at dem clicksss
wait what’s the $30 keyboard kit that’s shown in the beginning?
I love you're video's your the best 🥰🥰🥰
what soundtracks did u use from solding the switches chapter?
build the most expensive keyboard but with... cherry mx blue switches
Blue Bombers are even louder. You could also do Box Navy.
@@TheJackalopee Using Navys would defeat the purpose, Box Clickys actually sound good. I have them on 2 boards, Jades and Pinks and I have tried Navys.
it's like he's asking to be scammed
Fun fact: if you remove the part in a blue switch that makes it click, it sounds like a lot quieter
who woulda thought
The real bros of Simi valley soundtrack pulling up in the middle there 👌
good luck squashy!
4:02 Imma be honest, I kinda dig the mis-oriented keycaps
Next Banggood pls
Your tables are so wooooden, why don't you use them to do some cases for keyboards???????

misaligned switches my beloved
You very deliberately made a bad keyboard so good job. Total success.
task failed successfully
You should have taken out the click jackets from the switches and made them tactile s
That was a pretty scammed ending xd
Next vid: 10 dollar budget keyboard
Why does the backspace kind of sound good?
That alignment... Bruuuuuhhhhhhhhhh
i actually love blue switches so i really want that keyboardd
Dawg I can’t be beat I got a razor ornata chroma with the tactile bump removed 😂😂
The clickies actually didn't sound bad
just wondering, how long was shipping? *i live in guam, near philippines*
