- TRUST ME this thocks... Honestly pretty fun to build a thocky keyboard without using the boba switches, definitely way harder. Let me know which other sound signature you would want me to do!

i can't wait to see you at scape!! 🤩🤩
Hi where can we RSVP ! I can't seem to find the link 😅
just added it in! mb
@@LewisToh thanks you’re the goat !! See you soon
What are the exact ceramic keycaps you use.
Yes! Thock gang is still here! Nice Thock content Lewis! Looking forward to more
I just started this hobby and this video is the most informational I've seen so far. Ty
Finally, been waiting for a review on this!
I like how you give samples of different sounds, eg switches, key cap shapes. I actually thought the PBT space bar had the prettiest clink sound. I never knew key cap profile changes sound. I would like to hear more about sound differences, as I'm looking for my ideal sound and how to make it
Man, I'm loving my husky linears. I bought a bunch of single switches. Nothing could beat them imo. Including the boba u4t and boba linears.
Thought this was going to be a bit of a click bait, but after watching and comparing the sounds of the previous keyboard builds that were built this build actually kills it! Thocky! I love the quick breakdown of everything with samples.... Great job!
❤️
super helpful video! and the sound test is just....😍😍😍
For the mousepad/mouse mat what do you look for in order to get a good sound? Are their any quality options that offer good/custom designs?
Hey lewis, nice video. I really enjoy tactile switch like cherry blue but don't like the noisy sound. But not really liking brown feels. What switch you suggest for me to try?
Wow another great video, thanks you for inspiring me to make my own custom keyboard as well!
❤️
this video is lit. really helpful for those who are beginners like me
That sounds really good! I have not liked using my ceramic caps because of bad mods. This is a perfect solution!
Working on my mammoth 75 at the moment and just cant get the spacebar right. Its annoying lol
I need to just listen to someone type on that board for an hour
did you remove any of the stock foam from the keyboard and add the case foam? or did you keep all of the stock foam and just added the case foam?
My whole tongue just melted lol. I'm getting back to this hobby after almost 7 YEARS since I first getting into the mkb hobb. Back then, hotswaps weren't as common and we had to practice soldering and desoldering lol. RIP to many sacrificial boards. This inspired me more to build a custom board!
Wow this so nice, my favorite is linier switches
This build turned out awesome and I like when one of us uses a different switch or keycap to achieve something different. With all of these boxes and bags and jars of switches lying around, might as well find a use for them and DAMN did this sound good!
Hopefully one of these days there will be a meet near me where you and all of the other keep lords will magically appear! lol Can't wait to see your next board!
agree with the different switch & keycap thing!
hi lewis! what do you think of epomaker shadow x? and is the risk associated w epomaker worth it
Loved the last one of these and love this one aswell. W as always.
W for being around
Hii Lewis, Love ur content, thanks for the inspiration!
❤️
I had been a user of Keychron K2 v2 with Gateron Yellow switches and recently upgraded to Keychron V1 Max with Gateron G Pro 3.0 Yellow switches, I like "silent & thocky" and linier switches. As the previous one I have modded the V1 Max and really liking it a lot, for the price I paid. Also ordered Cherry PBT Doule-Shot Dark Blue/Black keycaps set (scomes with Xinmeng A66 keyboards). My next keyboard definitely will be the one with mechanical switches, maybe in a year or two. Otherwise, my beloved keyboard typing experience has been those with ThinkPad notebooks (typing and productivity, not gaming of course).
Can i ask you what the red and dark blue keycaps is that i know that its from gmk but not exactly sure
I love your experiment :)
Hi, I loved this keyboard! Are you planning to hold another event to sell this type of keyboard in the near future? I am 100% interested!
Should I get a Akko spr67 or sugar65?
Should try HMX series of switches, really good quality too.
Mmmmm the thock sound feels like two dens jade marbles clashing together but without the higher end of the frequencies.
On another note, do you or does anyone have any recommendations for someone who wants a fullsize keyboard (96% works too) with a knob/scrollwheel to change volume and is usable with nordic layout key such as Å Ä Ö. I would also prefer a wired keyboard but I'm open to hybrid connection as well. And ofc I would like to be able to make the keyboard thocking like the one in the video. Currently using a corsair K75 (I think) with MX silent switches which fits all of my criteria. But I'm starting to feel that I wanna know more about keyboards.
Oh and for budget, preferably under 150$
Try spring swapping the bigger keys? I think the difference in sound could be attributed to the heavier weight, and a heavier spring may counteract nicely.
damn. it sound so good!
I would call that creamy & thocky, definitely a great sound and a great video!
Where can you buy the keyboard that was modded?
'another one' of the amazing vids that lewis makes :)
cant tell if this is sarcasm or…
nope lol, glarses and hipyo and the overs don't post as much as u so just always watch u
The thockiest linear switch is definitely the WS MORANDI switches
That’s just no true
not even close lmao
very informative!
If you do the tape mod for the pcb will that cover the led if im going with a polycarb case with rgb?
yes it would
@@LewisToh dang that sucks i was going to buy one this upcoming group buy can u tell me which plate should i use for pc case with top mount or o ring mount? What plate should i use they have pp/alu/fr4/cf/pom plate to choose for thocky sound and what switches should i use? Thanks
hi, i'm looking forward to come down to the flea market. I would like to know if you guys will be selling some of the switches you mentioned in the video. would love to buy them!
My second time commenting this sorta comment but this is just amazing a better version of the sugar 65 for around the same price this is just phenomenal for beginners.
Also great build lewis I luv ur vids
thanks man
great vid, would you recommend this over the hi75? thanks
i think they both have their pros & cons, most importantly is what layout you prefer
what about overall sound, im thinking of using vertex v1s
would u be listing out the keyboards that will be available at the flea market?
yes soon
Another amazing video! Plus I love your SIDEMEN shirt!
its actually really comfortable
Hey, I was wondering if you could give me some recommendations for keyboards. 75% Hot swappable, RGB backlit, multi-host, with a knob, mid to high budget. Thank you for your time
High end doesn't do rgb backlit. You can rarely see underglow around the case. If you want something really nice, go with a groupbuy board that speaks to you. Keep an open mind instead of hugging to very specific random things it "needs." Or just stick to entry and get a keychron or neo
5:04 That's still a really good sounding space bar in my opinion
Hello!
Guys, can somebody help me?
I'm looking for a 96%-98% keyboard, tri-mode connection, knob, and most importantly, METAL frame, but it has to be 130$ or less, any advice?
Sounds very good! I want to see one without the ceramic keycaps, they are amazing of course, but I think they're a bit niche and not a lot of ppl want to use them.
Still great video!
ooo ill upload a yt short of it with normal keycaps!
00:59 this technique is so obvious for streamlining soundprofiles, yet has never been utilized this way in a kb review video, to my knowledge
:3ildcat uses it
If im not super confident in making my own thocky keyboard, is there any kind of service I can look for that may be able to make one for me ? Im just genuinely asking cause I dont know a lot about making them
Don't listen to influencers like this. Just learn how to make a good keyboard. It will be more rewarding to make your own and it's really not hard
Please review the Monka 6067’
drop the link for the thockiest keycaps off of amazon/aliexpress
I was prepared to insult your claim. While I am not sure this is the thockiest keyboard, I am willing to yield it is a top contender. Good job.
thats so good
it is insane
most of the thockiest boards are plastic case. aluminum is way harder to make thock.
I wonder if you already made a budget creamy keyboard.
Was actually just about to comment this. Think creamy needs more love
@@buddybleeyes That is true.
I have a creamy keyboard
creamy next🤔
GMK67, you're welcome
Hey I Loved this video alot, is there any chance I can buy this exact keyboard you just built from you and ill pay for shipping? I cannot make it to the fan meetup but would Love to buy this, let me know, Love the vidoes bro!
Is the yl65 similar to gmk67?
Yea, but gmk67 is plastic yl is aluminum
the spacebar still sounds a bit high pitched. i think u should put some foam/tape in the spacebar
5:53 the subtitle's think the keyboard is people clapping lol
The ceramic keycaps are doing a lot of the lifting here
very kewl
indeed

I wish I got a sponsorship from you :)
Linear bobas are a thing btw have dailied them for 2 years now
I will be coming can’t wait to meet u
see u there!
prism+ 😂😂😂
I think the vertex v1 would have made it sound a bit deeper.
also putting some sort of rubber inside the space bar similar to the the ghost bar from nuphy would reduce the ping and make it sound better. Maybe putting spray foam in it? Worth a try.
This is honestly a really good build. Other than the ceramic keycaps costing a fortune, I'm glad to see other parts of this build were quite affordable, if not cheap.
For a version 2, I'm curious if using the zoom65 v1 would work well, with SA or OSA keycaps. People are also sleeping on the vertex V1 switches, cuz they've been the deepest sounding keycaps I've ever used before and are very affordable.
VERTEX V1 really does hit different
Wait ABS is better than PBT? Really? I thought it was the other way around... I've only had two keycap sets and I prefer my dye cub PBTs over the double-shot ABS. The ABS just picked up hand oils quickly and I like the sound and texture of the PBT's. But they are different profiles so that could change the sound. It's all subjective I suppose. I just have always thought double-shot PBT keycaps were supposed to be the best which is why it's hard to find them for under $100. Whereas double-shot ABS can be had for under $30. Maybe there's better ABS out there. I don't know. I just can't bring myself to spend more than $50 of hunks of plastic with letters dyed onto them. It's just such a huge price markup. I wonder what it costs to manufacture keycaps compared to when they sell a set for 150$. I'm sure some engineering and molding costs some money but after that it can't cost much to manufacture plastic keycaps.
spacebar would probably be better if you put more tape layers
love your content! the footages just need some color grading tho! it kinda hurts the eyes to watch
Lewis Tohck
Silent keyboard next plssssss😢
yoo nice keyboard
thanks man
Can you make the CREAMIEST keyboard pls 🙏
sounds good to me🤔
thocc
DAMN with 2 c’s
Is it just me or the keycaps seems to be already above the keybkard itself haha
idk why you're calling pbt the "budget option" for keycaps, I think that's pretty misleading. There are budget PBT and budget ABS options, and there are high-end PBT and high-end ABS options too. PBTfans sets, for example, are every bit the quality of GMK if not better, at least in my personal experience with each, and lately I even prefer them over GMK
If you want thocky switches, the best I've ever owned are L&F uhmwpe COWs from Infinity Key. They never got much hype for some weird reason, but they are ulllltra smooth and super deep without being very loud either, although they do come unlubed. The best stock option is probably the Keebhut x Aflion Tropical Water v2 which are long poles with a polished stem and an honestly pretty great factory lube job. They're the deepest sounding stock switch I've ever tried. They're usually out of stock (I bought them allllll lol), but I heard they may be in the process of working on a v3, hopefully with similar characteristics. Both of those switches make my Oil Kings sound basically clacky by comparison and I highly recommend both to anyone looking for an ultra smooth linear with a deep sound profile
thanks for the recommendations, i think its a SEA culture…
in SEA, there isnt much high-end PBT, about 90% of PBT keycaps are below $50. With how accessible shopee/lazada/taobao is, SEA usually shop for parts on there which dosent really have PBTfans.
I can agree on budget ABS, but realistically, i think most beginners or amateurs, wouldnt really buy the “shine through ABS” which i believe you consider budget ABS, which would leave majority of ABS sets to be GMK, which costs quite alot in singapore especially. With the currency rate exchange from USD, they run at $200-$400.
Will definitely take note of your opinion!
@@LewisToh Yeah that makes sense with those marketplaces being so much easier to shop on. A lot of people in US use Amazon/Shop/TikTok marketplaces for their stuff. At least Shop has more of the actual direct vendors for good quality stuff though
re: budget ABS I actually wasn't talking the crappy shine-through sets (that nobody in their right mind would actually buy lol). At least through sellers on Amazon or other marketplaces most of the super cheap and very popular $30 "gmk clone" sets are actually ABS. Some are pbt but I'd say most are abs. The few pbt clone sets I've used are surprisingly decent quality compared to the clone abs sets
Legit GMK sets are waaaay too expensive in US too, which is why I mentioned PBTfans - same/better quality compared to GMK but they're considerably less expensive. Don't know how easy to get them in Singapore but they're based in China and have a Shopee Singapore link
Anyway, thanks for the vids!
i looked at my keyboard and sighed
yea... but I don't think anyone's using a shirt as a deskmat tho lol
xd
so marblely and creamy, but the space bar still doesnt sound right. imo🤔
🤔
I have died and gone to heaven
its actually amazing
Try stuffing it with pharmaceutical cotton instead of foams and electrical tape instead of paper tape.
Bro it sounds so good
This popped up on my home page today, I can't believe people are still into building custom keyboards after like 2 years, this is amazing...
Thock is so 2021...
Bro this sounds like bones cracking and I want it so bad
idk.. third ig
please do thock pop
Need to know your haircut bro

thats a dream come true

@@LewisToh also make the most clicky keyboard
5 mins late this time
not about time, all about being here❤️
Why is bro blinking so much
If you don't know what Thock is THOCK YOU
Should've used the Prevail Epsilon switches, it's literally the most thocky linear switch out there
First
fast boi
Keyboard enthusiasts and whatever bullshit they come up with....
Yep, sounds terrible! (clacky gang represent)
0 viwes in 50 seconds!
lewis really fell oof
Ears have left the chat
LEWIS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! My buddy wants a full keyboard and he does not want to spend 300 on a new one. Do you have any in your arsenal that you would suggest?
