Well, in their defense, you said "No Brand", if you said "Custom Keyboard" the story would be different ;)
The prosecution makes a valid point
do you want to rethink your testimony mr squashy?
I would defo choose a custom keyboard over any branded gsming keyboard
Razer fanboy
@@yf2029 lol no. He's saying a custom keyboard would be better than the razer keyboard
I actually upgraded my hunstman V2 with GMK keycaps and lubed the stock switches and stabilizers. It feels pretty damn decent, works with the rest of my razer ecosystem, and has dedicated media keys- that's hard to find on higher end custom board kits. it's the best keyboard for me- a gamer, that really only types youtube comments.
based
To be fair the huntsman is a very different keyboard to the blackwidow. It's an optical keyboard so there isn't that much different to do. It also uses stabilisers that are cherry style and has a standard bottom row.
I can’t wait for Squashy to throw away everything except for the pcb. Then throw away the pcb because he wants gamer hotswap.

Idk why but people are hating on your keyboards and your builds are so good. I feel like they don't know anything aboit keyboards
Yeah I feel like they only like name brand products, like Logitech, Corsair, and Razer gamer gear. Like bruh they are way better stuff out there
I just found out about custom keyboards form Glarses and its opened my eyes and through his videos i came here. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. Thanks guys o.o. I'm currently using a Razor huntsman elite but after typing on everything i just liked the feel of the cherry mx browns. I've been enlightened though. Don't hate me! I didn't know any better! But now i'm interested in either modding it or making my own... hmmm...
THE SAME THING HEPPENED TO ME BUT I STARTED WITH HIPYO 0.0
@@spadeclips4725 Started with Switch and Click!
@@PintoRice cool!
I started from listening to different ASMR videos and came across wildcat's channel, then started watching his keyboard builds, then I think I went to Hipyo from there and then the rabbit hole commenced.
I've been a fan of the Custom Keyboard for a while now (About 2 years ago) But I still have the same thought. I think it's better to mod your pc rather than to get another one. I recently got myself a huntsman elite, and I really love the Clicly Switches. Just some adjustments like the foam mod where the key to get the perfect keyboard (In my mind)

Thank you so much bro, I have an OG Razer Blackwidow Ultimate from 2012 with the blue LEDs and blue Cherry MX switches. Very much looking forward to using it as my entry into modding and soldering. I greatly appreciate you showing the process in such detail
I think people just like noisy, clicky switches because they are just sick of membrane keyboards on their macbook lol *>,
Scissor switches have a place in my heart. I felt they were the best during editing. But I use a mech keyb now so I don't know if i still feel that way lol
Never had a macbook
If you can afford a macbook you can afford a good keyboard.
I just tried to play a rythm game on a laptop keyboard and now I never want to touch one again 💀
There's a place for clicky switches, the older designs (Alps, buckling springs, etc) are great and the box navies/jade sound nice. I think the cherry style ones suck tho, they sound like they are filled with sand 🤮🤮

Razer making a hotswap would be pretty dope.

You don’t need new friends 😉
Razer black
tbh, Blackwidow Chroma's chasis is one of the best I've ever used. You don't easily find custom chassis with macro keys and some additional ergonomic features.
I remember when I first got my PC and I decided to spend a lot of money on a Razer Deathstalker and then a few years later I spent half the price on an Anne Pro 2 and that made me realise that just because you spend more money, it doesn't mean its going to be better.
The grammarly ad is gonna be so good my ridge wallet finna summon a thunder on me
The most impressive thing for me is that Squashy has real friends.
My whole class agrees that a apple wireless membrane kb is better than my Custom kb. The irony is that they didn't even touch my keeb

I really love your content brodie, I love all the meme content. You inspire me to make non-traditional keyboard videos.
" we're going to be changing the switches and key caps in this video ; so you can just throw the rest away " *throws at extremely small rubbish bin*
I just really liked how black widows looked, I will say I wish it was hot swappable and with the leds inside the pcb
so yeah they are not swappable but it is actually not that hard to change the switches with a razer keyboard. I tried it with my blackwidow v3 and it sounds better now. Just do every step as shown in the video
@@Bennixos I'm about to do the same for the same exact model since some of my switches aren't working properly. What would you say is something I need to be extra careful with?
>washing with a hose

This is the only channel where I'll watch through the sponsors all the way :)
Thanks for always making the sponsors fun!
I am addicted to these videos! I love being able to binge a good content creators work. You're an expert on keyboards!
I was wanting some advice. What is my best possible option for both switch sound and actuation force/distance. I am trying to get better at the rhythm game "A Dance of Fire and Ice" and I would like the optimal keyboard for inputting precise inputs in the range of 40 keys per second. Looking forward to the continued binging of your content!
yo man thanks for the kind words! as long as your keyboard has N-key rollover then all inputs will be registered. also, maybe look into getting Gateron Clear switches as they are one of the lightest switches in the mech scene and they basically actuate by bushing on them. should increase your kps
@@SquashyBoy have you tried C3 tangerine
@@SquashyBoy Thank you so much for the response! I will try to order something with these, and the N-key rollover thing sounds super important. My current keyboard only registers 6 keys at once. Thanks a lot, and I hope you have a great day!
How you open?? I got all tabs off but it's still stuck and I cracked the case.
This is the only sponsor i wouldn't skip its realy well done
razor is that one dream brand every beginner pc gamer wants.
Congrats for 300k
Hey, does anyone know where I can find nordic keycap sets? I've been searching for some but haven't been finding any...
ask on the mechanical keyboards Reddit someone will probably find you some
It just feels so wrong hearing a razer keyboard sound so good
I have genuinely been waiting for so long to see if someone would actually be crazy enough to do this, and you just did it.
I don’t know whether to congratulate you or be scared of you lol
man your vids just have this funny vibe that I can't really understand why it's funny lol XD
when i heard the keyboard sound after modding i subed with notices on.
Personally I hate this model from razer and I was quite surprised by the final result. Gg my guy, keep doing content like that it's fire 💪💪
Squashy please make some more DIY case videos your first one was lit
ive been using an rk71 for about (with mx red switches) and i havnt had any problems with it, it may be a budget keyboard but it definatly punches about its weight class
Can you tape/foam mod this board at all? I dont have the equipment, etc. to change the switches but want a less hollow sound
Man I love your content. Your accent mixed with your slightly comedic personality makes for the best content
ayyy ive been so exited for this
My real names Quinn lol
Squashy: Grammarly isn't an actual person
Me: I hope so......
Liked just because of the grammarly sponsor ad. Greatly done, hilarious!
I actually did something similar with my Corsair k95. I lubed all of the switches (reds) with krytox 205g0 as well as with the stabilizers. I also did the holee mod as well. Took forever because of all the keys and macros, but much netter.
Loved the Yakuza Kiwami combat music 😂
Thanks for making my day once again with your quality content squashy HAHAHA
Glad you enjoy it my guy!
love your videos! can you do more "upgrade" videos of more common keyboards? like g915, and other brands too!
Why did I have the same custom? but w/ 80082 coming soon, and 3203 instead? (Solder PCB and 205g stabs)
At this moment we realized how high our hierarchy for NOT enjoying Clicky switches...
when the switches are worth than the whole keyboard combined
BROOO HELP
I try to change my razer blackwidow v3 switches, but i have some problem.
Some key like Z,X,C,N,M is didnt work and i saw that key, have a thin wire. I didnt know before, and i think i broke that wire. Please help me, tell me how you solve your SPACE key, i think that is a same problem.
Can anyone tell me why there are only 60% and tenkeyless mechanical keyboards out there in wireless? unlike a black widow, pro type, or so?
Credit where it's due - Razer's stabs are actually pretty good.
1:03 This explains alot about today's society.
that ad was amazing, couldn't ask for a better one tbh
I can't believe that old Razer keyboard was still working .. well sort of working. In over 25 years of typing on PCs, the worst keyboards I've ever had in terms of longevity were also the most expensive ones. I've used MS's Internet Keyboard for years and years (the one with all the extra buttons up top) and other than having to pull all the keycaps every year or so to put them into the dishwasher, I never had a problem with that one. It just worked and kept working for years and years. It still works today.
I had used OG Cherry keyboards back in the 90s already and always loved the feel and sound of mechanical switches (clicky ones, yes). So I went for a Corsair K90 Vengeance a few years ago when I built my Haswell system. Loved the look and feel of that thing, but it did develop massive ghosting issues a few months after the warranty expired. Switched to a cheap MS Sidewinder X4 which also simply worked and still works, but I wanted to get back into mechanicals. Tried a HyperX Alloy Elite (non RGB) with MX Browns at the store and instantly loved those switches. Bought it at a decent price, then let it sit for two years in a drawer, unopened and unused. When I took it out this March to finally use it with my new 12th-gen-build, it pretty much instantly had issues with ghosting/double/triple/whatever keystrokes on certain keys. No more warranty, so I tried to work around it using all sorts of SW-fixes in Windows, but it never really let me type a text without a ton of unwanted keystrokes.
I started looking around for decently priced, mechanical, alternatives that would fit with my build and since I'm already using a Razer Viper 8K and found a V3 Black Widow (wired) for around €85, I went with that one. So far, it's been great ... layout is good (keys aren't too tightly spaced), feel of the Razer Greens is very nice and clicky and, so far, it's been ghosting-free. The larger keys do sound a bit weird and clunky and I certainly wouldn't recommend it at MSRP (140, 150? yikes!), but for under €/$90 it's a pretty good deal.
Still: I have most of my "replacement" keyboards I needed whenever a mechanical one died on me sitting around here, starting with that MS Internet keyboard from the late 90s/early 2000s, the Sidewinder X4 and a Turtle Beach Impact 100. All of which were dirt-cheap to pretty cheap and are non-mechanical... and all of which still work to this very day, while the "premium" stuff from Corsair and HyperX simply croaked after way too short service lives.
"And 2, I need more friends" THIS ONE HAD ME DEAD AT 2 AM LMAO
2:49 this is incredibly relatable and I died laughing.
Squashy Boy please help!!
I have the exact same keyboard but I'm missing the stabilizers + wire for the spacebar!
What can be done?
Honestly, up until the last few months or so, I always preferred the sound of clicky, rattly keyboards. Mostly because I've been using one for like 10 years, and it was always such a breath of fresh air after being stuck with membrane keyboards for my whole life up until that point. But I'm really hooked on this modern take on keyboards - cleaning up the sound as much as possible and making the sound of your keyboard more refined. I kinda want to try lubing up my Corsair keyboard.
7:00 sheeeeeesh🥰
4:11 i cant find the backgroung music does anyone know the name of it?

Hey squashy quick question what xlr mic is that and what is it setup to like audio interface
Was kind of thinking of just buying an HP GF100 and changing out the switches + lubing. And this video has just proved that that can make it SO much thockier
The Razer greens were so worn out that they turned into oranges xD
