the most redeeming aspect of this build is the sound when typing, i almost died and went to heaven
Yo same
Yea my ears started bleeding
@@NickEZ I always like eating cheese
It's like munching on 1 box of screws.
The best unselfish and right to the point review of an experience of an own build I have ever seen. Straight. Without bias. All pro and cons fairly served. More informatic than most of the so called "super duber tech" channels. Thanks! This helped me more than you maybe would expect.
I like the sound of the jade switches and those handsome keycaps.
That is by far the greatest sounding keyboard to ever touch my ears.
Navy + SA = God tier combo
Figureight I see somebody watches Chyrosran22
Well I do but that's hardly a tell tale. I'm typing on my Planck with SA and Box Navy switches right now anyway :D
I agree. Probably the best sounding clickies with SA.
I have to say that Navies sound bad with GMK though.
These are the jades, they are much lighter also having the same click bar as the navys. However, I love them:)
Tobias Wegener the jade switches are trash, mine were slow on return and a couple even stayed down often. returned them for navy and theyre way better in all aspect
Polarising is definitely the right word. I'm not a fan of this design, but it's nice to see a full build of it.
Chokkan キーボー道 Sorry Is this for sale
I agree the shape is a bit odd
Wow, this video single-handedly convinced me to go Box Jades for my build. What a sound!
I’ve been eyeing this kit for the past few days and was looking all over the web for a silver kbd661 but there were no clear vids or pictures. This came like a godsent.
That click sound is beautiful
I'm usually the cherry key switch guy... but this this AUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGHAUGH *I NEED MORE*

ughhhh..... that sounds amaziingggg
Does it?
Sounds hollow to me!
Really? for me, it sounds incredibly crisp and satisfying
Lelesleep
I hate the springy sound of model F. Model M on the other hand...
I do llike the sound of the Jades, and with these keycaps they sound even more awesome. However, the was a certain sound of ratalyness of the board it self, I think. This kind of ruined it a little for me a little, more tape! ;)
Oh man, those jades sound so chunky and amazing.
I love how you quick edit to compare jade with MX Blue.
This is probably my #2 most desired build I've seen via your amazing channel. #1 definitely the IDOBAO ID80.
I love the sync between the music and the gameplay at the end! Made me feel like I was watching a frag video haha, keep up the great work!!
100% unintentional :)
this is probably the most beautiful keyboard I've ever seen
Ended up going with an identical build and the sound is identical. Very happy with how it turned out.
Wooow those sound absolutely amazing. There's no way I can spend that much money on that kit but I absolutely need those switches.
Wow! The Jades sound godly!! 😍 must buy!
After many months of planning and freight wait, I've finally recreated this sound in a Melody96. It is beautiful, though quieter than I expected. Sounds spot on when I put my head 5 inches from the keyboard like this mic is at the end of this video.
the apex of the clicky builds. Nothing I have heard comes close to these clean clicks.
They sound amazing!
The final build looks and sounds quite nice. I love that keycap set (it's actually what drew my attention to the video). The keyboard itself seems to have some worrying QA issues though.
I'm the one that made that gif you used at 2:57 lol
Yeeeeears ago on geekhack forum (username Lethal Squirrel)
Glad to see they're still helping people understand keyboard switches! :)
Soldering switches before the LEDs has a drawback. I had several LEDs not working after I soldered them, so I needed to replace them. If you solder the switch before the LED you need to unsolder both the switch first before the LED which is double the work. But hey, to each his own, everyone can assemble the keyboard however they like. That's the appeal of making a custom keyboard.
13:31 the only ASMR content I will willingly accept
Wow, the force break mod 3 years before we needed it for the Keychon Q1
This is the best box sounda yet the soacebard sounds lovely
Dang. I like how the jades sound. Might order a set to build one myself.
Kailh box jades are the best switch since alps white pine. And even then, I might prefer jade more because they are clean and new. That really lets you know if you will like it or not. If you like really tactile but light switches with a great, but somewhat loud, sound, you will love them.
The double click and the speed of the click is amazing
This is my favorite video. I like box jade switches and SA keycaps. It’s the way I’ll go with.
Отличное преподнесение информации. Познавательно и информативно! Респект! Все понятно и наглядно даже без перевода.
Those switches sound so insanely good
Personally I think the box switches sound the best in plastic and wood cases, there's something about metal that just stifles the sound in a way I don't personally like. Sweet build video though!
Nice insight! I just built one in an acrylic case for someone, but haven't received the caps yet, so I'm interested to see how it differs now :)
TaeKeyboards oh that sounds exciting. I noticed this with my pale blues versus a friend's, he put his in a lambo case whereas mine was in a plastic tada68, tends from what I've heard to generate a deeper chunkier noise which I dig. Keep up the great work (: love your videos man.
Those keys sound like what I imagine two hollow snail shells hitting each other to sound like.
those keycaps are godlike. asuka for the win
those switches sound actually insane.
i recently got kalih box jades for my keyboard and they sound so great!
you should do a keyboard with navy blues or share your experience with clicky switches by making a top 5 of them
This is just a perfect video! 20x thumbs up if I could.
Quirky build, but the result is really amazing
I LOVE Kailh Box Switches
Best sound test ever!
Beautiful, clean case design! Big and bold case. :)
- "..and comes with the diodes and resistors installed"
- Oh, how thoughtful of them!
dear god what a pleasant clicky switch sound that is, especially paired with SA caps. Can't wait to try the Navy version of this with MT3!
Thanks for doing the kbdfans kits!!!
wow i really love this kbd661 case!
Wow! Sounds like popcorn.
Omg. The Mx blues sound like a nightmare compared to the box jades!
I loveeee clicky sounds I need these switches omg. Clicky might be annoying to some but it’s my jam
If only you posted more man
That sound is the best.
The aluminum case adds a very distinctive character to the sound.
Mmmmm sound so crisp!
Jade, always Jade!
sounds so nicely. it's so clearly.
There seem to be a problem around "infinity ergodox": they won't be available for an indefinite time... if you manage to build one (using what's online: it's 100% open-source), you're a genius.
I just got this switch today and holy f the clicks really are T H I C C. Still getting used to them atm, since my board originally came with lubed gateron browns
SA Keycaps sound amazing on those switches.
I'm getting MT3 keycaps for my BOX Navy switches which I hope are gonna sound as good as this keyboard here.
They have the same click bar so chances are good.
I do not doubt the BOX Navies are gonna sound good.
What I'm wondering here are the MT3 keycaps gonna give the same deeper sound like the SA keycaps give on clicky BOX switches.
Ah, then I missed your point. Hm, of course the material and form plays role. So I am using cherry profile PBT key caps with 0.8 mm and POM caps 1.4 mm , the thicker variant sounds basier. For shure they will sound amazing in this set up. There are some remors that the keycap stem of the box switches has some issues with there quality control, and I indeed broke some of my switch tester keycaps with the box jades. The PBT caps, however seem to have no issue at all, so far.
May be you have look here, I gues your caps are expencif:

please note that box stem...
Those Evangelion keycaps look dope. Eva 02 is my favorite.
i like the sound of this beautifull thing..... the keyboard is also nice
That was very cool!
Dude those Jades look like they've taken a beating, were they shipped by UPS?
finally a keyboard for my grandma!
Wait... they actually sound amazing..
I wish we could see some tutorial for software side of 60% keyboards - how they are programmed etc. Great vid btw)
Yes. Yes. Yes. This. Is. Life.
That is one sexy keyboard. Really like the SA caps.
i appreciate those keycaps
I fucking love how unique they look and sound
I built a gh60 lately with BOX white (Jade seemed a bit too much at the moment, but as of now, I think something heaver would be better). Next time I'm building a keyboard - it will be a version with Fkeys row and arrows segment on the right, though I got used to WASD-keys as arrows with a modifier put instead of CapsLock. By the way, if you muffle the bottom of the case with sound isolation layer and put some thick silicone grease on stab frames - the sound will be better.
This is how you get everyone in your office to hate you and to get fired 101
didnt know clicky switch can sound this good
Notification squad. Love these build videos, keep it up poop keyboards!
ooh the soothing music
Those box jade sound so good but that space bar ruins it; sweet review man, keep it up!
Damn I have SA + Box Jades on my GMMK Full, but the hollow plastic and the aluminum top late doesn't sound as dense as this one... Time to get a denser keyboard!
Beauty!
RIP, wobble plate, awesome video tho. Box jades look kinda awesome, any chance of something with box royals next?
Thanks mate. No plans on the Royals though :(
i think it sounds great and with a band aid mod to lessen the sound of the spacebar it would be perfect
nice one, man i wanna do a kb of this TKL and all myself
(14:32) When he took away the keyboard, I thought he got mad at the box jades lol
you need to stock up on genuine cherry stabs. So much better than the fake stuff.
I'm well aware of that haha. I've been trying out different screw ins to see what's good for the price.
I have a Mx blue keyboard and will say that the sound sounds amazing before you get one, but then you regret it because they probably aren’t the best feeling switches.
Zane Meyer out of all the cerey switches blue is the best feeling and red is the best linear but there are other better switches
The dude in the video literally said that these switches feel faster, crisper and overall better than MX Blue tho
UrAvgCasual ik but out of all the cherry switches, its the blue and green that feels the best. But there are many other better switches
@@jasontan861 Cherry switches are the most well made, and I'm not doing a custom keyboard build anytime soon, so options are quite limited
I really like the sound of the box jades, but I hate how slow they are for gaming
Can't deal with that high pitched ring from the plate 😱. Silicone...silicone everything!!!
SA/DSA caps need to be the new standard for keyboards. Best in feel, design, sound, and function. Too many cylindrical caps nowadays.
Ponker miss old KBDfans :(
Evangelion fans in love with the keycaps
who else gets a sad nostalgic vibe to the music
nice build ! your Jade switches sound so good. Is it because of SA keycaps? I have got jade switch from sample pack. It is so loud.
I didnt buy KBD661 because switches are upside down which makes this board unusable with GMK keycaps.
im going with a jd60ble with a grey tofu case and maxkey bg! cant wait!
the jades sound soooothing
I love them jades, they almost beat yok pandas in my opinion sound wise
I never got used to SA profile. Too high for my wrists :(
Perhaps I give it another shot after this video (but with Pale Blues).
i agree that box clicky switches paired with SA caps do sound beautiful but you did not really have a fair comparison when you compared it with a blue switch keyboard that has DSA caps AND a low profile case...that's like the worst combo for clickies :D
overall great video i really enjoyed it! good job!
how do you get this sound of box jades? i have seen alot of box jade sound tests but this one sounds better in my opinion.
are it the keycaps ? so yes what makes them different??
are they big and heavy ?
I think this build would sound amazing with a little less case ping
