I don't know what it is about these keyboard enthusiast TH-cam channels, but they're just so wonderfully aesthetic and chill, I could watch them all day
Well dammit! I thought I had a secret little gem of a keeb builder. Now everyone's gonna be jumping on board Hex. Tbh they deserve it. Great design, fast turnaround, constant communication, all on their very first board. I was extremely lucky to get this.
When one of the biggest keyboard guys on the internet still needs to go pick up some precision screwdrivers at the dollar store (and a Filet-O-Fish)... There is still hope for me!
Wow. It's been a while since I've last watched your vids and there has been a massive improvement, even though your previous productions were top notch.
I like that we came in expecting a budget mech review but got a full lo-fi vlog with easter eggs like ITZY's "Not Shy", dollar coffee from 7-11 and good ol' Maccas
TaeKeyboards back at it again! sweet. *quick break for tools, snack & drink* nice funny bits also nice boba fett figure chillin too. cool new vendor here always great!
I am getting ready to build a custom dactyl keyboard that will not have a PCB supported. I have not found any of the larger keyboard TH-camrs that have a tutorial/video on hand wiring. I would love to see a video like that so I can see everything I did wrong on my build :D
You should get some clamps for doing that kind of solder work, high quality ones will be close enough in holding force to each other that a few around the edges should solve that need to squeeze
You know on that shopping montage you should have done a quasi drug-deal set to poke fun at getting good and cheap keyboard parts in the overinflated market space. ;) I swear every time I look online things have gotten more expensive and there are shortages everywhere.
It's kinda strange to me how much emphasis is given to flexible plates in the custom keyboard scene. When I watch laptop reviews, deck flex on the keyboard is almost always treated as a negative. And I've never really felt the need for a softer or more uniform bottom out in any of my boards, vintage or modern.
Mostly just preference. Some people prefer harder bottom out but the inconsistency in firmness and sound on tray-mount boards is considered a negative because of well, the inconsistency of it. O-ring mounts also prevent the metal-on-metal contact of the two case parts, in most cases dampening case ping and reducing internal vibrations. All you really need to know is that hype keyboard YTers like Hamaji and Hipyo just started pushing gasket mount and softness and flex as a meta and a lot of people bought into it. Go for what kinda feel you want, but don’t pay Tofu prices for a tray board. That’s just overpricing.
I really hope this website turns into something like Drop, where there are group buys often. I would love to see them continue going on every month or two. This really seems like the website that can help regular people who are willing to spend a few hundred dollars on a custom keyboard go and shop for options.
Budget full alu board are best budget boards. Watch out for coating durability tho my kbd67 MKii first run, the coating they used isnt really good and is coming off where my fingers are resting.
Wasn’t the Hex the keyboard who got only one post in r/mm and that was the gb is over notice? If I remember correctly a lot of people were unhappy how this wasn’t marketed on Reddit.
Man that looks and sounds so good!!! It's has been a long time since I watch keeb vids and this looks amazing trulyyyyy! Love it my guy💙 Ps. Not keeb relatedd but I have been wonderingggg, what are the AOC monitors have you been using? My setup's almost completeee, I've been looking around at gaming monitors, and yeah I kinda like thoseee monitorsss
Great video Tae. Gotta love a Fillet-o-Fish ;) Do you know anything about Cougar peripherals? Considering getting one of their Puri mechanical keyboards.
I know this is a really random question, but I thought about it when watching this. Can the tops of keycaps be different sizes? I feel I fat finger my keyboard wayyyy more than other keyboards, especially laptop keyboards. The Microsoft surface 3 keyboard is great and I never fat finger anything. However, I have the Drop alt keyboard and when I transition from my laptop to my keyboard at my desktop, I cant write a few sentences without having to undo and redo every other word because of a typo. Just curious to know if certain keycap form factors change the size of the top of the keycap or if different keyboards, even though have the same profile, are different sizes? Idk just speculating, but wondering if someone can help.

oh yeh, the keyset is gmk phosphorous. forgot to annotate 🙏
Nice
It’s all good don’t worry it’s still good content
140 dollars is ALOT of money. it's graphics card or CPU.
And what are those stabs?
@@rafaelvettorello204 looks like c3
My mans spent 20 dollars on snacks and 2.99 on screwsdrivers after buying a 140 dollar board.
Love the F1 gameplay, still can’t believe Gasly is a grand grix winner
yesss! was an amazing race, and so happy for Gasly. And even Sainz and Lance.
@@TaeKeyboards make an f1 themed keyboard. A humble suggestion.
@@bonifasiusmartin3438 100% an F1 themed board would be fantastic!
TaeKeyboards just knowing you’re an f1 fan makes me love your content even more! Keep up the awesome work!!
But as always Stroll got no attention for being on the podium lol
Well dammit! I thought I had a secret little gem of a keeb builder. Now everyone's gonna be jumping on board Hex. Tbh they deserve it. Great design, fast turnaround, constant communication, all on their very first board. I was extremely lucky to get this.
Oh wow I'm convinced every single hardware store in the world has those cheap screwdrivers. It's either those or the yellow ones XD
the case struggles to close properly lolll 🤗
I have those yellow ones! Pretty sure my electricity teacher had them too.
@@lounatik lmao I had a yellow set too, but I lost all of them except for one. I use it to open my switches.
there was a set at home depot that were made by husky, they were amazing. They stopped carrying them for some reason
love to have you back!

Hey IO Sam! Thanks for the IG follow 🙏
@@takoyakeys NP! Great thing you got going there 👍
thanks for taking us along for the ride it was fun : )
Wow. It's been a while since I've last watched your vids and there has been a massive improvement, even though your previous productions were top notch.
that choc bar is fucking amazing
Always rad to see more options for custom keebs!
that last overtake tho, too real mate
This video was my gateway drug into mechanical keyboards. I'm not sure whether to thank or curse you, TaeKeyboards.
That sound is glorious!
First Red Velvet, and now F1, makes me loves this channel even more
I loved that IRL section you put in the vid!
I'm really looking forward to the HEX.60, like holy hell. Even more now.
hello you are the persons that got me into mechanical keyboards thanks
Love your music choices, so mood
I like that we came in expecting a budget mech review but got a full lo-fi vlog with easter eggs like ITZY's "Not Shy", dollar coffee from 7-11 and good ol' Maccas
6:11 sound test
Goodness me..

Gutted for Sainz, but a happy ending for Gasly :)

I swear on everything this man is my favorite youtuber hands down
TaeKeyboards hype!! Can't wait to see a cool keeb
HE'S BACK!!!!
He really picked a fillet-o-fish...
😍😍😍
I actually tried one once and was genuinely surprised.
You dont diss the the FoF
Don’t sleep on the fillet-o-fish
It’s probably the only thing on the menu I can confirm is real meat
The best item on the menu
always enjoy your videos!
1:00
I thought you said "the corners are pretty sharp, probably as sharp as I come across"
Thought you roasted yourself for a second lol
TaeKeyboards back at it again! sweet.
*quick break for tools, snack & drink* nice funny bits also nice boba fett figure chillin too.
cool new vendor here always great!
That lighting cast on Mandalorian. Love it! :)
1:09 Red velvet in the background lol
gotta love that dive up the inside on turn 1
haha, i didnt do quali, so i was at the back. but yeh, classic f1 start dive
@@TaeKeyboards no choice but to send it on those sprint races! great video
8:40 are those AOC 24G2 monitors?
theyre different. one is 4k, the other 1080p. but the bezel design is exactly the same :)
theres so much filet o fish hate going on i love it here
Keep up the good work man
i like that tea has come back to shorter form content on youtube, keep up the reviews
Cuts like hot butter
MAN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SOOOOOOO SOOOOO MUCH!
This man did not just order a filet o fish meal
It’s soo nice what 😂
Best burger at maccas
He also ordered a coffe from 7/11 and a peanut slab!
pshh people talking about the ITZY easter egg but imagine not being able to see the Milky Way performance vid at 1:11 and 5:31
RV rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really liked the IRL intermission incl the Macca's run lol
What would you reccomend between a HHKB tofu or this?
Love the vibe of it all...and good keeb
I am getting ready to build a custom dactyl keyboard that will not have a PCB supported. I have not found any of the larger keyboard TH-camrs that have a tutorial/video on hand wiring. I would love to see a video like that so I can see everything I did wrong on my build :D

Mine is on the way right now. I can't believe you have done this to me. I'm so excited for mine to arrive!
filet fish?
omg coconut slabs are the best chocolate ever made, used to be 70c in vic
m8, they're so gooooooooood
I was waiting for a board with naevy switches
What wallpaper do you use? 8:57 on the right monitor
i like the vlog-esk part it looks really smooth!!!
Love the sound
Wow, I need to pick one of these up!
I also like how Russell fought from the back in a Willie and beat everyone. Very realistic hahahah (i wish)
man that board sounds sweet. you do a great job assembling and modding boards.
Funny how you're playing as Rokit Williams Racing, after they announced their pull out from F1
jaycar has a really good toolkit for small stuff like that, it's like a 50+ piece kit
You know on that shopping montage you should have done a quasi drug-deal set to poke fun at getting good and cheap keyboard parts in the overinflated market space. ;) I swear every time I look online things have gotten more expensive and there are shortages everywhere.
Filet-o-Fish. You're the man. Best McDonald creation ever

Those switches are crissssssp. Love it
Loved the mini vlog :) also stream Not Shy 😉
What's the benefit of putting foam between the plate and the pcb? Is it also to dampen the sound like putting foam under the pcb?
We love RV! Milky way was amazing
Damn bro! I came here for the keyboards and now all I want is a Whittakers peanut slab and McDonalds. :)
i always get caught up just watching the race
same man. i want to record just for a few minutes, and end up playing for an hour
Love those keycaps man.
why did I get this video in my notifications like it was just posted lmao
wait where tf you going to just get keycaps like that??
This is the perfect video because I am looking for this exact product right now 😂
im so early
glad your back
Like your wallpaper!
Would get it just for the stickers 😻
I really wanna try this! Looks like fun
Budget full alu board are best budget boards. Watch out for coating durability tho my kbd67 MKii first run, the coating they used isnt really good and is coming off where my fingers are resting.
1:11 is that Red Velvet with Milky way? :0 I watched this for the keyboard but Red velvet caught my attention
ayyyyy nice!
he went to mcdonalds and he could pick anything and picks a filet o fish
Wasn’t the Hex the keyboard who got only one post in r/mm and that was the gb is over notice? If I remember correctly a lot of people were unhappy how this wasn’t marketed on Reddit.
damnit i want mcdonalds now. i really like this board, nice thick cuts in the plate made it really consistent sounding.
Any chance you could share wallpaper from the left monitor?
Can you do a video on the best sound dampening materials? Foam, neoprene, sorbathane etc?
Very epic. Love u Mendez
Man that looks and sounds so good!!! It's has been a long time since I watch keeb vids and this looks amazing trulyyyyy!
Love it my guy💙
Ps.
Not keeb relatedd but I have been wonderingggg, what are the AOC monitors have you been using?
My setup's almost completeee, I've been looking around at gaming monitors, and yeah I kinda like thoseee monitorsss
Dude are your keys sticking or something cause thats a lot of repeated letterssss
Sam Allen iiiiiidk bbbbbbroooooo my keeeeybooooooard juuuuuuust doeeeees thattttttt sommmmmmetimeeeeeeeees
Dat HEX.6C doe
_W O O F_
Wait...You have a spot where you can just go pick up keycaps?
I only own 1 GMK set. Everything else, I just borrow haha
Imagine going to Maccas, but getting a Filet-O-Fish...
how good
@@TaeKeyboards sausage and egg mcmuffin 👌
Wdym it’s hella nice
Maccas?
@@codyfournellcsrf5164 Australian slang for McDonalds
Is that a UK car in The US/Canada? just your driving position is on our side not the usual US left.:-)
definitely recommend move the fan so it doesn't block the speaker
Gotta love that PP shaped sauce on the filet o fish (also good choice, those are good)
Great video Tae. Gotta love a Fillet-o-Fish ;)
Do you know anything about Cougar peripherals? Considering getting one of their Puri mechanical keyboards.
That sounds really good for the price
When is kpop mech coming back?
So..does anyone know when this board will actually be available for consumers?
I know this is a really random question, but I thought about it when watching this. Can the tops of keycaps be different sizes?

Do you recommend the gmmk compact?

Never been this early for Tae
