Next time you're doing a sound test at least take the time to remove all foams so it doesn't end up sounding like... Well, foam. PE foam on its own normalises sound and you shouldn't even be reminded of this fact. Also please add the materials the switch uses in the store's page.
@@farmeunit This video serves as an advertisment on their own store page. This isn't made for entertainment purposes, if that's what you had in mind. In which case, this is completely misleading to their customers.
@@impointr There are hundreds of combinations of ways to build a keyboard. No one is going to do them all or has time, even. If you feel it is important, start a channel and do it.
@@farmeunit You're missing the point again. This video is used to advertise the switch on their store. The sound test is used to demonstrate what the switch would sound like on their store. The problem is that this build is using all foams and thus voids the sound test as - and it's a common knowledge in the hobby - PE foam on the PCB makes everything sound 99% identical rendering the sound test void if what you want to do is demonstrate what the switch sounds like, which is what this video was uploaded for. This isn't about building a keyboard the way you want. This video is for a vendor, for a store, where this switch is sold to people who listen to this sound test without knowing what the switch actually sounds like due to the aforementioned reasons. Treat it as what it is: an advert. It isn't even disclosed that this keyboard uses all foams. There isn't any information on the configuration of this board either besides what keyboard is it, what switches it has, and what keycaps it uses. It is just as transparent as the switch's spec sheet on their store page, which is to say very opaque. Unikeys is a good example of how to handle this. For a store that's been up for so long, it's very disappointing to see Kinetic Labs give in to this kind of practise.
@@Rice_Tech no, these are different switches with a different colorway (granted it does looks similar), plus they have a kinetic logo on the top housing and different materials / springs
Why do a switch sound test on a board with foams? Foams alter the sound a lot.
because all boards come with foams???
@@terra2803foams flatten all uniqueness of a switch which is why people like taking them out even if they are included
@@voltenbolt i see

You can make your videos however you want...
@@farmeunit It's a reasonable request. More information as consumers isn't a bad thing.

I just got this exact board today! Best use of money I’ve ever spent 😂
HMX is best 🎉
arent these the HMX cheese because they look identical and the HMX butter arent really anywhere else?
They are, so he just rebranded them.

@@kineticlabskb can you tell what materials are the top housing, bottom housing, and stem made of?
