The Mechanical Keyboard Rabbit Hole: When You're In Too Deep 5
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- There is only pain down here as I tread further and further down. The only thing I can hear are the echoes of my screams within the vast emptiness of my wallet. Mechanical Keyboards, Switches, Artisans, THOCK, CLACK THLACK. I cannot remember the last time my bank account was positive. Please send help, I thought this was just a phase. It is not. This is meant to be satire and an exaggerated look at the silly things within this niche hobby!

Pro Tip: To prevent mechanical keyboard addiction, don't have money. This is the most effective way - speaking from personal experience
Or have money but no credit card so you have to ask your mom to buy it
Or have more hobbies to spend your money on to not spend on custom mk which doesn't solve the money spending problem :painge
@@CouZer true
totally agree
If i had money left after all my expenses I'd definitely be buying my 3rd set of switches this month-
self control, discipline helps too. if only i had some of that
*Finally builds high-end keyboard
*Immediately fills in an IC for a 75% Gasket-Mounted PE-Foamed Triple-Plate Double-Flipped Ultra Rare Keyboard
With some 5g ultra smooth polycalamary and nylononol big thock gateron crimsons lunedì with tribobosisis 69420g8
Oh don’t forget it has a knob and exploded Florida arrows
Thank you for this series! It inspired me to take out a $40,000 loan to pursue keyboards!
hey! me too
just a small loan, I swear these keyboards are an investment
@@ShoobsTube That is what I tell my self too.
Debt is temporary custom keyboards are forever
…man
the "I bought some switches, I should buy a keyboard and keycaps to do another build" really hit harder than it should q_q
I realized today how far gone I was. I burnt myself with a 450 degrees C solder and was like, you know what, I want to keep going, this board will be so cool when I finish modding it.
You're soldering at 450 degrees C, isn't that like way too hot? I usually use around 350.
@@dlink9663 Who says lead-free is for machines only?
This series is literally a rabbit hole in a whole
Edit: the likes holy crap thanks guys
the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole rabbit hole
Vtuber keyboard anime keyboard rabbit hole rabbithole
The shoobs hole
weeb
Entered Bongo raffles for the past 2 years, haven't won a single bongo yet.
I used to laugh when I saw these vids.
Then I built my first board, said "I don't need to buy another another board ever again"
6 months later
"I need a more compact keyboard"
This rabbit hole is infectious I swear
I used to make fun of people who would pay $130+ for keycaps... Until i ordered 4 sets myself
I went from TKL to 65% to another 65% and then back to TKL
@@ResumedPausing I've gone from 110% to 100% to 60% to tkl I prefer to daily the 100% but for travelling the tkl is a really good compromise for me
well thanks to my friend bringing his mechanical keyboard.
I am now hooked on both building and even reprogramming keyboard.
thanks to you too Shoobs for doing great reviews and Tips and tricks on building keyboard now I am waiting for parts I ordered.
Sheeeesh what switches are you using when you’re typing on mechmarket. That sounds nice
I wud like to know too
that's what i'm sayin
Saving this to find out
Same
Same. They sounded sooooo good.
3:10 some nutty ass typing sounds holy
2:33 So he begins the descent into 1800-dom. Come learn the ways of having tons of buttons. Also That dracula flex tho
Every time you release another rabbit hole video, I realize that I'm at that stage. Tell me Shoobs, what's next? Should I just start making my own resin keycaps? I've thought about it...
Some say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over, yet expecting different results. Sounds a lot like this hobby if you ask me (or my wallet).
Got some new Durock stabilizers. Gotta get a keyboard, switches, and keycaps
got some lube. Gotta get a keyboard switches and keycaps
first I saw you in a hipyo stream, now I see you here, where will it be next?
got some pe foam gotta get a keyboard switches and keycaps
got some painters tape. Gotta get a Jelly Epoch and GMK Alter
I would absolutely put a decal of a Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 on the back of my keyboard.
seeing the Jelly epoch SSE, makes me remember missing the GB because I forgot what time it was and I took a shower 5 minutes before the GB started, missing the GB start time.
*Protip stay at your desk at least 5 hours before a GB starts to not miss your opportunity to get one.*
I had 4 friends help me try to get it and none of us were fast enough, shit was gone in the blink of an eye
@@FadiAlzammar I wish they would do more epochs because I prefer 75% over tkls
Nooo shoobs stopppp. I don't want to look at myself this critically
3:08 is actually verry relatable since i just lost my house and now i live in a turtle shell and need MountanDew to survive
Technically the crazy mount he said could work. If you used o rings as the gaskets, like really small o rings wrapped around each gasket pop out (twice, somehow), then also have magnets in the bottom to precisely counteract the weight of the pcb, plate, switches and keys, and make sure you sauter your switches and somehow, the o rings to the plate, and then put in an arduino to set servos specific to each switch to cause small centrifugal force on the board for a unique tactile experience. Maybe. Oh, with a divergence meter on the top of the board ( I have not watched steins gate, plz don’t yell at me )
TL DR: DOUBLE GUMMY GASKET WITH MAGLEV MOUNT & FANCY FANCY METER
The keycap builder bit was WAAAAY too accurate lol
love it how quick new switches come in to take our money
That keycap set at 1:30 honestly looks really pretty. A purple custom board with some butter-smooth linear switches is honestly a dream of mine. If I do ever get into customs, that's definitely the sort of aesthetic I'll be after.
Best Waifu, Shoobs-chan, is the one least expected, not most popular.
you are documenting my development in real time
The whole “matching” - totally me 🤣
Mechanical keyboards aren't a hole, they're an everlasting loop of bankruptcy, forced happiness and blind suffering.
Great vid!
The endgame switch doesn exist...
Shoobs: *bankai no jutsu switch*
There's a solution to avoid the rabbit hole. Stop buying stuffs unless they allow you to complete this challenge : build an ANSI Azerty-fr keyboard with PBT caps. You know what... @Shoobs , I challenge you to do it. And when you'll get depressed heal your mind leaving this challenge to Glarses.
I decided that I had my endgame board a few weeks ago. This weekend I bought a new keyset and decided that I needed a new keyboard with a knob because the keyset has an artisan knob that goes with it.
Legit just made this same decision yesterday lol
The ONLY way is to stick to Topre and buckling springs. Your options are basically Unicomp, Realforce, HHKB. And maybe others but who cares? Limited options are your friend! MX style switches? That way madness lies.
I'm building my $200 starter build, it will sound fine, I will spend no money modding it further than holee and lubing, then I shall never buy anything again.
in too deep 6: different keyboard layouts/ split/ steno
another one in the trilogy
I can feel you i just falled into this rabbit hole and i already spent 2k$ in only 1 month.
Can someone throw a rope down here?
I'm sitting on my mountain switches, keycaps, keyboards, cables...at the bottom of the abysmal rabbit hole and need help getting out.
ok the Jelly was the board for me too damnit - that one dug deep
*builds one keyboard*
sees gasket mount
*UH UH GIMME THAT*
Lubing switches is a good way to occupy your mind from feeling the dread and weight of reality that you have spent more on metal/plastic parts that might have cost as much as a car.
Solution: move to a country like Singapore where it costs $100k to own a car for 10 years and suddenly keyboard start to feel cheap
(crying in broke buying 10 switches each month until it fills up the entire board. oh extra money this month! i'm buying 15 switches)
2:37 me looking at the W1-AT that I’m about to buy
POV: your friend introduced you to his custom keyboard
もう一つのシューブスの傑作
"5 digits in debt" is a bar
This is the best one yet. The first skit and the r/mm skits killed me
'but retail doesn't count, okay!?' -me daily
So, if your goal was to make me mad, again, over the Jelly Epoch... It worked.
I thought NJ80 was going to be my Last Cop of the year. Then immediately ordered Polar GG86, FL680, all akko switches ,Jwick Switches a lot of new keycaps ,akko ACR 75 and much more. Things are getting out of hand xD.
Lol. This addiction is worse than cigarette addiction mann. I've just got into this a week ago. Gonna build my first keyboard in a week or two (when all the parts arrive) and i've just ordered a wooden base/case and am planning to get parts/build my second one before the parts of the first build arrive. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The trick is to know your own limits.
Like pops always said - the sky's the limit!
Lubing day is the most painful day of the month.
Oh man, I love my current keyboard. It thocks and is super smooth. I love it.
-30 minutes later
Shoobs just reviewed that new board that's going on sale soon. It looks so nice. My board is trash.
4:32 okay dont call me out like that LMAO
LMAO the thing that got me was the quartz and ttc wilds at the end i have both and currently in the process of lubing both
For 6 minutes and 43 seconds..
The World was at ease.
Building keyboard sucks… I really wish I could just buy a very good pre built, any suggestions?
Edit: I burned myself from soldering, stripped a screw for a stand-off, scratched the bun bun out of my case, scratched the Pewdiepie keyboard stabs living membrane bookie out of my keycaps, cut my hands with the damn switches, bent a couple of pins, and didn’t even finish my mission to apply foam in between my keyboards pcb and brass plate, and apply tape on the back of my pcb, AND am now left with a messy desk taunting me with the shame of leaving a build half asses and half done. I just give up I’ll do it tomorrow after I pray to got to forgive me for my drunken spendings over common rectangular office appliances.
Lol! Ok, but next vid could be "how to escape the rabbit-hole"
keep the series alive, it gives me inspiration to also become one of community
As someone who has a jelly this hits different
the dancing guy intro was soooo good omg lmao
Felt this in my soul. Thing is, I don’t understand WHY it’s so addictive
bro i cant wait for seaon 2
its not thonky, thocky, clacky, poppy, marbly, clocky, flacky, its funky
Watching this while in school
4:55 He is sharing the KDD secrits
I actually remember how I got here. I was on a csgo surf server and someone was talking abt holy pandas. I had my browns. I asked what’s so good he said that they sound like reds but feel like blues (best way of explaining to a noob imo). I didn’t believe him. I found the taeha types holy panda vid. I need help
These aren't even skits, it's just Shoobs sharing his experiences
Where 2 cop me some of those bankai no jutsu switches.
This series is in fact, another kind of rabbit hole. I'm in too deep now, pls help.
Somebody help me
I would, but I also need help
Fucking accurate dude LMAO... me starting at my 150+ artisan keycaps LMAO
This is so relatable that it hurts
Early for once! Seems a great video so far, thanks for the content man.
Im in the mechanical keyboard, audiophile and custom watercooling rabbit holes, I think there is no escape😭
When your in to deep in watching in too deep videos all day long
Me bein like : I just want one nice keyboard that I’ll keep for like 8 years
2 weeks later it’s too many boards I’m BROKE!!!
Why did I even go to college? I should've just spent all that money on mechanical keyboards and I would be much happier. Lol
typing on the switches in the middle of taking caps off just to say sao is not trash
for the algorithm, love u shooby.❤
Everyone laughing: haha great satire
Also everyone laughing: ( '':
watching this on the toilet, 10/10 extremely accurate
Woah me too
toilet gang
At 3:20 does anyone know what switches those when Shoobs is typing?? They sound so good :)
Shoobs casually flexes his bongo collection
1:39 hehe that Emilia keyset
This is painful to watch because it's literally me...
Legit started on mech keyboards 3 months ago... im 3 keyboards deep already...
1:02 too relatable
I LOVE THIS
I wont tell Dave that u made fun of his "Thonk". :0
1:31 bruh I want GMK frost witch so bad
*5 digits in debt*
ThAt nA oSu rEfErEnCe
Welp time to try and find those Emilia keys
Honestly if shoobs gets an artisan made, I'd cop
Sweet Varient bro
this one definitely can relate
Dude, this is actually just sad. The amount of money that has to be sunk in a hobby like this just makes me sick, and it's clear to me that there's something fucked up with the market. Not to mention- OH SHIT MY GAZZEW BOBA U4T'S JUST SHIPPED! I need a new custom to throw those bad boys on stat!
Never thought I'd see Shoobs pass up Makise Kurisu like that. Sad times.
👀 This was me when he mentioned the divergence meter at 1:19
To prevent a keyboard addiction, you must train your willpower.
Retail doesn’t Count!! 😂
bro this is godlike hilarious LOL
