Just fyi: Integrated plates are NOT made to sound better. Most integrated plates sound like ass like on a lot of RAMA boards and the Tofu HHKB/WKL. The exception is on PC which negates the downsides of integrated plates
I've got Gat Yellows for my GMMK Compact. Love them, linear like Reds but take a touch more force to push them down so no more typo's or throwing grenades when I didn't want to.
BT I'm insanely jealous, this form factor with those switches are EXACTLY what im lookin for, those gmk metropolis keys are extra icing on top. great vid!
1st. You can't compare an integrated plate with a brass or aluminum plate. One is a plate style, while the other is the plate material. In fact, most integrated plates are made from aluminum. 2nd. Integrated plates are actually frowned upon by the keyboard enthusiast community for their lack of flex and inferior sound. The preferred plate mounting style is gasket mounting, which involves strips of a rubber type material which increases flex and makes the sound much better. Great review though, the shots on this one were insane.
Thanks for letting me know Daniel! I’m still scratching the surface and have a lot to learn. I do have some gasket mount keebs coming finally. So I can really compare.. in the meantime this sounds better than anything I have at the moment
Do you really enjoy this keyboard more than your ALT? I'm looking into getting a hot swappable TKL but don't know what direction to go. Seems like custom/diy is the way to go
shipping out my polycarb rukia today and i am already regretting it haha, good to see some keeb content BT! much love brotha! LMK when your ready for your next keeb build and ill build it for free on stream!
Did you lube your gateron ink yellows? I did for my first build and realized maybe I should've paid attention to the leafs since they are loose. I'm noticing inconsistent actuation (for instance, my 'u' key actuates just for resting my finger on the button). I'll desolder it later to see if I can fix it, but I was curious if a hotswap socket would also push contact leaves out of their intended positioning.
I don't like the design of the Thing6.5, but this one is gorgeous. I ordered my Metropolis R2 here in Europe to guarantee to have this amazing keycap set in my collection!
I just can't do TKL. I play too many games with complex input. Currently using a Input Club Kira and I love it. Another and maybe even better option is the Vortex Tab 90.
how do you buy one of these? Geekhack has no purchase link, only this detail...Think6.5 V1 Group Buy has been 100% completed. Do they not have an online store?
Know both of the guys your talking to actually one of them lives right near me haha but good stuff great board I got the green wavez and ended up selling it but then I came across a great deal for the black pc think and was like man I have to get it so I did awesome stuff great board and yes it does souns so so good lol great video as always man good stuff oh forgot to mention I got the taro for my black pc think6.5 talk about something looking sick af
I’m still waiting to earn enough cash to get 2 new keebs, a 65% and a 40% ergo :) My 60% ain’t enough for me. (GK61+Box Whites+Tokyo World Tour) Why didn’t you lube your Gateron Ink Yellow?
Hey BT u think u would do a divina mousepad giveaway? i know its late but i wanted to try and ask because i have a small mousepad i got at 5below to play fortnite and now i have more room on my desk I would want to purchase one but they are sold out.

Welcome to the mech hobby 😅

2:20 Godly b roll, one of the best videos on your channel BT keep it going
Thanks obae!
"Hey guys check out this rare keyboard ive been using thanks to your support, imma flex on you now" - BT lol
Hahah
The way you say ahhh yeahhh and mmm mm mmm it’s just amazing m8 I could listen to you say that all day long
Excellent review my guy. I'm a noob in the mech keyboard game but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.
It’s a rabbit hole you definitely won’t regret going down it’s so fun! Thanks for the support el jefe
Your close up shots are so smooth!

BT has the craziest keycaps. Including the craziest set of all... Break out the Handerbeit my dude lmao
Video soon! Haha
Brandon Taylor Hahahah oooooooh boy can’t wait
@@BTaesthetics OH SHIT my dreams are coming true
@@BTaesthetics Did you put down a order for the SA Goodspeed and MitoSpeed? =)
this is actually a clone set from aliexpress for 40
but I believe that he has already got the real ones in metropolis r2
WOW The intro is just keep getting better BT Good Job!!!
Appreciate it bro!
That shot of the fingers moving across the keyboard, magical.
BT I'm insanely jealous, this form factor with those switches are EXACTLY what im lookin for, those gmk metropolis keys are extra icing on top. great vid!
Thanks Enrique!
I have been waiting for this video for so long. I have wanted an explanation of this board since I first saw it!
Actually just ordered some Gat Ink Blacks and a few yellows for my build - Just starting off w/ a GK64 kit and going to go from there.
just did my first build with an aluminum think 6.5! really great keeb :)
Dear Brandon, do you have the configuration of your Swiftshell Coiled Cable? If yes, can you please provide details?
BT: I have a plate that eliminate all pinginess
Also BT: Lets bandage mod, clip and lube the fricking stabilizers
Me: uses a laptop keyboard. :(
Haha
lubing, clipping and bandaid modding reduce rattle and the sound of the stabiliser hitting the pcb not the ping from a plate
Integrated plate creates more ping also..
@@vaughn8831 it's made of polycarbonate so I don't think it can ping
Try C3 tangerines if u haven’t already. 100% my favorite linears
I got some coming
Brandon Taylor great! Hope u enjoy them :)
@@BTaesthetics From where? I cant find any websites to get em.
So expensive tho
Jeffrey Wong they are a fraction of the price of tealios/ink blacks, they r just currently oos
You are here for 4:12
This keyboard is beautiful and it sounds amazing! Another great vid BT!
Such a sick keyboard! And, as always, awesome video!
Thanks hayndaswhy!
BT, that’s such a nice setup, with the keycaps, cables and board. 🔥🔥🔥. 💯 keep up the great work 👍🏼

Wow, you are really making me want to custom build. If the novel key creams come back for sale.. I might just have to.
What are your favorite switches bt?
Do you prefer yellow inks over black inks?
nice build! 65% is also my favorite layout :). currently waiting for olivia++ to arrive before i build my pc e6.5
I got light and dark Olivia++ coming can’t wait! Thanks for watching!
shipping out my polycarb rukia today and i am already regretting it haha, good to see some keeb content BT! much love brotha! LMK when your ready for your next keeb build and ill build it for free on stream!
I might be in contact with you soon :)
Are you done with tactile switches? I'm debating on what switch to go with currently for my new build.
I notice you’ve mentioned SwiftShells a lot more recently... did something happen between you and SpaceCables?
Nothing happened. Showing love to multiple cable manufacturers I just got in some new heat from spacecables
👍🏻
This is the most wholesome keyboard review I've ever seen. :)
Did you lube your gateron ink yellows? I did for my first build and realized maybe I should've paid attention to the leafs since they are loose.

I'll desolder it later to see if I can fix it, but I was curious if a hotswap socket would also push contact leaves out of their intended positioning.
I had no issues with my leafs. I did lube these. My Gateron black inks were terrible. Thanks for watching!
@@BTaesthetics thanks for the quick response. Wow what went wrong with the black inks?
gorgeous setup - amazing sounding board - :)
I don't like the design of the Thing6.5, but this one is gorgeous. I ordered my Metropolis R2 here in Europe to guarantee to have this amazing keycap set in my collection!
BT, love your content so much. Keep up the good work dude!
Thanks Tom!
Great board! Linear boxed Gateron are probably my preferred switches as well!
I just can't do TKL. I play too many games with complex input. Currently using a Input Club Kira and I love it. Another and maybe even better option is the Vortex Tab 90.
This keyboard is nice, no cap...
Great video BT.Btw what's ur top 3 switches right now?
Nobody:
TH-camrs' right pinkie during a sound test: Right imma head out
wow what a sexy keyboard 🔥. Need to ask you something BT does the think6.5 keyboard shipped already soldered or do I have to solder it myself?
It’s a hot swap so you can put in switches without soldering :)
Brandon Taylor That’s easy enough! thank you so much. BT you’re the real deal ;)
Yellow Inks over Tealios and its variants?
Btw band aid modding your stabs does nothing except add mushiness. Almost no one does it anymore
Do you prefer this or your massdrop highprofile Zeliosv2 keyboard?
I have the same keyboard, but in aluminum. Great layout and looks!
where i can buy think 65? can you give the link?
Great video homie. Awesome keyboard. Metropolis looks sooooooo nice, do u like yellow inks over black inks?
Yes yellow inks are way better for me personally! Thanks for the support cartoon
@@BTaesthetics Of course man
I was able to grab one during the restock!
Congrats bro!
2:19 TaehaTypes intro be like
Why did you take this over the Drop Alt?
Bro can you please tell me what RGB light strips are you using to achieve the look on your desk? It looks absolutely amazing.
Do you like pc plate more than alu ? And why ?
just bought me a brand new one sealed on mechmarket. cant wait for it.
how do you buy one of these? Geekhack has no purchase link, only this detail...Think6.5 V1 Group Buy has been 100% completed. Do they not have an online store?
Thinkv2 is on GB soon
We need a Black ink vs Yellow ink vs Cream video !
Do you use stabelsers on that keyboard
I seriously cannot wait for R2.
Noiceee homie! Great video and keyboard. I want to build my first keyboard any suggestions on a TKL case?
What happened to the Tofu with the inks!? I had noticed this one but thought may have been more mods to the original.
Still have it but upgraded to this one
What do you think is the best mouse for palm n fingertip mix grip and about 19cm hand? Not gpw tho
Buuuuuut is your gmk stabs not retooled ones??
Got mine in Wavez Green with Metropolis it’s a fresh board
it is so hard to get a decent poly carbonate case today
@brandon For you the gateron yellow inks are more smooth than Tealios ? :O
Yes so good
BT you should review the UE custom fitting earbuds.
This intro was amazing
Is rgb per key out of style now?
Keep up the grind brudda! 💪💪💪
Next time u should try and get your hands on one of those "duck" korean customs ;)
