DISCLAIMER
Not every sound test will mimic what a keyboard sounds like in real life. I suggest listening to other sound tests and taking everything with a grain of salt.
I am not a professional, my room is not sound-treated, and a lot of my boom arms are attached to the desk that I am typing on.
I do not do sound tests to be as accurate as possible and portray what a board sounds like perfectly in real life. This is something I do for fun!
I will continue to improve my sound tests with better lighting, video, and audio, but please do not take my videos as professional-grade or “how a keyboard with this config will sound like”.
I hope that using different mics will illustrate that depending on your mic, you may catch higher/lower frequencies better than other mics, and some mics sound naturally “brighter” or “darker” than other mics, even without any filters or any sort of post-processing.

A friend wanted me to build this for her, after she got it 50% off from the Cannonkeys sale, so I obliged!
Especially since I've known Funderburker/Emils from the Toad V2 I bought from him and his friend many months ago.
Also, looking forward to making these review vids! I'll be sure to put my special touch and longform/in-depth version on them to try and set me apart from others.
Hopefully, that'll result in the videos being useful
