As someone who used the Giant Keyboard at the Tech Expo, I must say it felt a lot more polished than the video makes it seem! Didn't realize it was so stressful, great job telling the story as well.
I'm not even particularly passionate about keyboards (I use a mechanical keyboard but I'm not a hobbyist) but when youtube suggested this video going "Hey you wanna watch a man build a big ass keyboard?" I couldn't not answer "yes please".
Man, Glarses doesn’t deserve multiple sponsor brands pulling out like that. This man has never failed to make encouraging, entertaining videos that push the limits of custom keyboards. I always get a laugh out of it, and some hype like some shonen anime.

Also PLA and ABS is basically what super glue is made for. Cyanoacrylate should always be your number 1 go-to for anything plastic that needs to be fixed.
Cyanoacrylate is okay, but Weld-On is much better and creates a weld between materials that is as strong as the material itself Edit: Caveat to this, it only works with certain types of polymer materials, like PLA and Acrylic, and will even join dissimilar materials it works with. It's less of an adhesive and more of a solvent, and unlike CA glue, it doesn't leave any of itself behind once set.
for pla, ditch the glue entirely and use a woodburner/soldering iron (with a sacrificial tip) to weld the parts back together. you'll warp the surface unless you get good at it, but it's WAY stronger than glue. for abs, just use acetone. melting plastic together is always better than glue
@@merlindraws3616 No reason to use heat when a chemical solvent like Weld-on will actually weld the pieces of plastic together with no risk of warping or burning.
I break too many parts cos I'm a monkey brain designer that thinks 3dprint plastic is as good as injection moulded shit, one thing I always do is friction welding; using the Swiss army knife of jank, the dremel. Get some pla or abs or whatever the 3dprint was made of, put an end into the dremel and tighten and cut about 4cm sticking out the top and use it like a welder. Turn it on and put it on the plastic surface and let it melt, then just move it around and just move it around the crack, shit will be as strong or stronger than the print. Sand down and your good
Just a tip: when something 3d printed breaks you can put a soldering iron on ~200C and more or less “weld” the two bits together. Holds really strong as well
Could have just used one small one and wired the switches which would have been a pain but this pcb probably cost like 2k lol. Still infinitely cooler though
This story brought tears to my eyes. It hosted the perfect amount of will, determination, anguish, failure, and keyboards. Truly one of the best videos ever.

I've never seen a man who could run off of so much spite for Razer that he made an even bigger keyboard than their already comically large one, nearly didn't finish it, snuck into the venue where it was being presented and unpackaged the board to finish it on-site. All after recovering from COVID and having Murphy's Law kick in at every turn. Kudos to you and your friends.
I used to be in a competitive cosplay group, and man, the sense of con crunch in this video is such a good encapsulation of the feeling. I almost miss it, emotions all running high and frustration even higher, but you’re surrounded by your best friends
It's insane that you were so mad that Razer wouldn't sell you their giant keyboard, that you went and custom made your own even bigger one. Props to you my man!
I walked into this expecting a little clip of an above average keyboard, but this has been one of the most anxiety inducing 19 minutes I've seen in a video, nice job on the video and the keyboard!
man I saw the stabiliser pole break as you took it out the packaging bag and then your reaction after you snapped, I had such a big laugh hahahhahahaahhha. Looks amazing.
Wonderful! You already pointed out most mistakes. The one thing I would have started with is aluminum rod from the hardware store for the stabilizer bar. It's fairly soft, so easily bends around a table edge. In a pinch, I'd use a metal wire clothes hanger. That's my only suggestion, I'm very happy you went through with this.
Well done!!! I kind of tuned out of the mechanical keyboard hobby shortly after I finally achieved my personal "endgame" build along with making two other boards. But I love content like this, really keeps things fresh. It brings back personal memories of working on some crazy DIY projects (including my endgame keyboard) with all the various unpredictable setbacks and the different clever solutions you get forced to come up with on a pinch. That cardboard stabiliser shim idea was brilliant given the circumstances. Must be hard being a perfectionist and being forced to adapt like that. Cheesey as it sounds, this the sort of thing personal growth is made of. You've probably learned something about yourself along with the maker space and convention environment as a whole.
I've been waiting for your new video to drop for what feels like forever and this was so worth it! I hope we get to see your time at the Tech Expo too! Additionally, I'll be joining your highest tier available on Patreon. You've been one of the funniest and relatable MK content creators to me, so it's not even a question to give back. I'm planning to start my own channel here called "The Void" and who knows, maybe one day we can collaborate! Keep up the great work!
Great video. I'm sorry it was such a difficult journey relatively speaking, but I am impressed with the recovery processes you and your team performed.
Hey Glarses! For future reference, a better way to "fix" a 3d printed part is to just melt the two halves back together with your soldering iron! I was yelling at my screen hoping you would think to try it through this crazy project, but :( Entertaining as hell either way! Never stop being you!
I normally dont watch this kind of content but this was and is amazing, we should all support creators like you. The world is made a better and more beautiful place by people like you, thank you.
Great job! I loved how you all pulled together and used your skills to problem solve. One tiny criticism after getting sucked into the story of this build I would have loved to see some good footage of the final build and maybe someone typing on the final product. It just would have tied up this video so nicely. You could have even just put that footage over top of talking about the discord.
7:52 I was watching and I was like, "You just told us that it's made up of PLA.... Why are you dragging it through a tight tube instead of unwrapping it?!" *Snap*
You deserve so much more admiration than I could put in 1000 comments, but the fact that you got through covid with a week time limit where literally anything reasonable that I can think of went wrong actually makes this video way more inspiring than I ever thought a video about making a giant keyboard could ever be.
Bro I watched one vid with you and KSI, I aint even a gamer nor can give a single toss about keyboards... but your persona got me hooked man lol - one of the top vids, you're doing a madness in a niche market, keep going king. Subscribed
I’m glad I found this channel today. Good vibes and relaxing even tho I’m the video you’re stressed but it was nice to watch you get to the end result.
Congrats on this build, seriously impressive. This is why you always do a test print! I admire the improvisation and working with what you had, but when the printed wired didnt fit why not go to a hardware store and get metal wires & bend them to size?
been watching you for quite a while man and this video was so fun to watch, honestly as a person who mainly browses youtube to get that dopamine high we're all addicted too but can never find it this was it. Anyways just wanted to say great job with the board and thanks for making my day! Hope to see more weird boards in the future and will go do my duty by donating a dollar.
Baking soda and superglue is the key to any quick PLA/ABS repair, touch of glue on each side, hold together for a few seconds and then sprinkle on the bicarb soda, speeds the curing process.
Wow, this was amazing! I must say that was probably the best 19:04 minutes I've spent all of 2023! It had everything, failures upon failures, stress, good friends (make that amazing friends considering what you made them go through) and that last minute fixing! Sir, sir, am I allowed to finish my exam while you're correcting it?
truly an amazing video, from the storytelling, to the stress, to the quick troubleshooting this video was an absolute masterpiece. Glad I found your channel when it was so young, you my friend are an inspiration
Man, I don't care about keyboard that much as long as they do the job and feel nice under the fingers. I usually don't get half of what makes a good feel, sound or whatever. But I am addicted to your channel now. You really share your passion in an awesome way !
If you have an issue with the stabilizer bar later, try using a first aid pad, they are very thin and will provide better support. Soak it in a super glue and wrap it around once and let it dry completely, then if you want, put another layer to double down. sand away the rough parts and it should be strong enough.
Wow really cool! As impressive as the actual build is, I am even more interested in understanding what makes you so enamoured with keyboards! Cheers from Canada!
the keyboard is clearly reasonably sized, i were recently running into situations when i need bigger keyboards because bigger is allways better (yes) and this video is pure genius and great solution for all my problems (not including social anxiety and severe ptsd)

6:38 i love that the midnight - jason instrumental in there 🤭💕
GOATED
I normally dont watch this kind of content but this was and is amazing, we should all support creators like you. The world is made a better and more beautiful place by people like you, thank you.
Great job! I loved how you all pulled together and used your skills to problem solve.
One tiny criticism after getting sucked into the story of this build I would have loved to see some good footage of the final build and maybe someone typing on the final product. It just would have tied up this video so nicely. You could have even just put that footage over top of talking about the discord.
Planning to make more videos using and demonstrating the keyboard soon!
my man could afford a 12k keyboard but has an ironing board as a desk😂
thats priority for you!
"afford" a $12000 keyboard
I feel I just watched a hero's journey in 19 minutes 😆 Thanks for the video, Glarses! Hope the Glarses Company flourishes this year~
0:52 Æsthetically pleasing background image 😂
7:52 I was watching and I was like, "You just told us that it's made up of PLA.... Why are you dragging it through a tight tube instead of unwrapping it?!" *Snap*
my second hand stress when that stab wire snapped: 📈📈📈
You deserve so much more admiration than I could put in 1000 comments, but the fact that you got through covid with a week time limit where literally anything reasonable that I can think of went wrong actually makes this video way more inspiring than I ever thought a video about making a giant keyboard could ever be.
Absolutely huge respect to this guy. I can’t believe he’s uploading every day for the next decade.
lool 😭😭
D̶O̶N̶T̶ ̶R̶E̶A̶D̶ ̶M̶Y̶ ̶N̶A̶M̶E̶
Huge props for pushing through this nightmare build
Bro I watched one vid with you and KSI, I aint even a gamer nor can give a single toss about keyboards... but your persona got me hooked man lol - one of the top vids, you're doing a madness in a niche market, keep going king. Subscribed
such an amazing video .. enjoyed the storytelling and narrative too .. keep up the work bruda
The passion, tense and awesomness to every detail and hard work he puts in to this was a lot!
D̶O̶N̶T̶ ̶R̶E̶A̶D̶ ̶M̶Y̶ ̶N̶A̶M̶E̶
I’m glad I found this channel today. Good vibes and relaxing even tho I’m the video you’re stressed but it was nice to watch you get to the end result.
Congrats on this build, seriously impressive.
This is why you always do a test print! I admire the improvisation and working with what you had, but when the printed wired didnt fit why not go to a hardware store and get metal wires & bend them to size?
been watching you for quite a while man and this video was so fun to watch, honestly as a person who mainly browses youtube to get that dopamine high we're all addicted too but can never find it this was it. Anyways just wanted to say great job with the board and thanks for making my day! Hope to see more weird boards in the future and will go do my duty by donating a dollar.
Baking soda and superglue is the key to any quick PLA/ABS repair, touch of glue on each side, hold together for a few seconds and then sprinkle on the bicarb soda, speeds the curing process.
The extreme dedication to getting that keyboard finished in time is amazing! Keep up the great work!!
TH-cam can’t recognize this man’s quality content truly underrated.
Wow, this was amazing! I must say that was probably the best 19:04 minutes I've spent all of 2023! It had everything, failures upon failures, stress, good friends (make that amazing friends considering what you made them go through) and that last minute fixing!
Sir, sir, am I allowed to finish my exam while you're correcting it?
truly an amazing video, from the storytelling, to the stress, to the quick troubleshooting this video was an absolute masterpiece. Glad I found your channel when it was so young, you my friend are an inspiration
4:41 the quickest papa franku reference with that soundbyte love it
What I enjoyed the most is not the big keyboard, is how you handled all your challanges!
Imagine how razer felt with their "the biggest keyboard" on the show floor when you rolled this in lol.
Enthusiasts: bouncy typing feel is good
Glarses keyboard: 11:26
the fact this man assembled something this scale on an ironing board unlike the people with garage or studio is pure determination. Respect.
14:22 spoken like a true developer 😂
Man, I don't care about keyboard that much as long as they do the job and feel nice under the fingers. I usually don't get half of what makes a good feel, sound or whatever. But I am addicted to your channel now.
You really share your passion in an awesome way !
The record has been broken, again with a tkl, so glarses needs to do tis again.
It's things like this that makes me subscribe to people's channels. Truly beautiful work and definitely a great revenge plot
Seeing your channel grow from 50k up until 900k is nuts, it feels so damn fast, way to go man, you deserve it.
this guy can put more effort into one dumb idea than the effort i put into anything in my life
The Keyboard god strikes again. keep on legend
yes!!
verified, 5 likes?!
honestly i dont know a single person who gets annoyed by a few month time to upload when you post such bangers like this
12:09 best part
OMEGA BIG SWITCH
This is truly one of the keyboards of all time. Congratulations Glarses.
The evolution of the keyboard is truly astonishing.
The tension throughout, I was literally gasping at points. Amazing video thank you
Glarses should make his own keyboard company, this is insane
Hope this one gets millions, truly colossal effort and quality
If you have an issue with the stabilizer bar later, try using a first aid pad, they are very thin and will provide better support. Soak it in a super glue and wrap it around once and let it dry completely, then if you want, put another layer to double down. sand away the rough parts and it should be strong enough.
god this video was a rollercoaster, filled with so many and so much emotion, but hot damn was it beautiful
3:11 yes glarses, that is definitely called DDoSing
Lmao
I couldn't believe the amount you got done, including problem solving, in that first day. That's a winner in my book!
10:18 why is this lowkey giving midnights taylor swift album am i going insane or-
Good friend for not wanting to cut towards you 😂 Safety 101, Glarses!
Wow really cool! As impressive as the actual build is, I am even more interested in understanding what makes you so enamoured with keyboards! Cheers from Canada!
2:45 You're not the only one. I had to cancel my dream vacation because of COVID. I didn't even have it, they just didn't let folks into the place.
1:30 **thud sound effect** **comedically large brush appears**
17:10 the ending we deserve
14:55 the joke was right there: "just gonna try and screw it in. if it works, it works; if it doesn't..." we're screwed
lol
Too corny
"if you stab me I can tank it" 8:48
now that's a good line
My dude. Well. Done. Keep these friends.
the keyboard is clearly reasonably sized, i were recently running into situations when i need bigger keyboards because bigger is allways better (yes) and this video is pure genius and great solution for all my problems (not including social anxiety and severe ptsd)
15:08
rio.
(the song obv)
7:25 the Wii sports intro😂😂😂
You are the first person to acknowledge this
It’s been burned into my brain from 13 years of having a Wii
17:47 Not the World's smallest violin again
Lol AJR finally gets onto Glarses
I love ajr❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😊😊😊
