- I've been in this hobby for about... 3-4 years now and there are somethings that I just noticed in the hobby. Wanted to make this longer but it just got too boring...

Check out my latest video where I built an Irelia Keyboard!
th-cam.com/video/L162qdi31ho/w-d-xo.html
"doesn't matter. I'm going to put in my headphones anyway" had caught me in my soul. built my first keyboard recently, and i'm in love with the sound it makes i honestly love it. As someone who has always worn headphones its been a weird fight.
don't forget holee modding, expectation was that it completely removes ticking and makes them feel nice, also easy to install. In reality, you're better off being a surgeon than trying to put a bandaid in the stabs, and the stabs end up being more sluggish than me during math class
Why did I forget about stab modding....
*writing it down on the next video*
I was expecting an informational piece to keep in mind when my board finally comes in, and I was treated to this masterpiece instead.
That "F YOU GLARSES" line took me out tho. 😂😂😂
Honestly 3 or 4 hours of lubing would be a dream for me. I compare my switches in batches of 10 for the sound and feel, because Im very picky. So lubing can take up to 8 Hours for me... But in the end I am very happy that they turned out exactly how I wanted :)
Same, but even longer, it takes me about 16 hours because I also manually lube springs and also slightly lube a part of the leaf that doesn’t affect switch working.
1:34 i lubed all of my azure dragons for my zoom65 and then put all of it away when i was done, only to find out that one switch fell on the floor without me knowing before I even started
Love how you poke fun at the hobby. I think, just like everything, people can take it too seriously.
As a person born in the year of the rabbit I'm deeply offended by that delivery status
Im year of rabbit too
@@amPossumiss me too
Rabbit Gang unite!
the ticking stabilizer is too real
I catch myself spending more time tweaking them than assembling the entire board itself
I build so many boards, get up to get a drink, and then come back to it fucking ticking
it took me 2 years and 10 sets of different stabilizers to not make them tick, also probably around 100 hours of straightening wires
As someone who tries to lube sets in the evening with whatever shred of time I have, I can safely say...my wife has been wondering why every night I go into my office for an hour or two. I'm just lubing switches, dear. Always. Lubing. Switches.
ergo boards
expectation: oh man I'm gonna be so much more productive
reality: I forgot to put a "=" button in my keymap and I can't be arsed to recompile the firmware again
I'm gonna act like this didn't happen to me about a week ago
One of the funniest keyboard videos I’ve seen in a while! Great stuff keep it up
I've never seen your channel before but this video (camera, editing, audio, even acting) is really high quality! Definitely got a sub from me
Ill add another one:
Expectations: "This week, I spent 2000$ on a new keyboard!"
Reality: "This 100$ board has everything that I need really and I dont want to justify spending more money just to get a margianially better board, this one is good enough for me"
I've seen that before. I get a board that I was anticipating for a while, and then I get a board I just wanted for fun.... the board that was for fun ended up being better xD
Finally a fellow cherry brown switch connoisseur that glarses guy has no idea what he's talking about
I love Cherry MX Browns for their distinct tactile bump
I actually got a lot better results than expected in my first custom full build... Keychron q1, holy pandas that I lubed and filmed, replaced and lubed stabs with durok v2's, tape, force break and holy mods and a 5mm sound mat for car audio... It's just like PC building... It's adult Legos.
Adult legos.... just takes more money, time, sanity..... etc...
I've only been hyper fixated on this for two weeks, but from absurd amounts of Reddit scrolling, TH-cam watching, and Instagram scrolling, you've hit all the highlights of what I've seen. 🤣
This is what we call "98% complete....98% to go" in the aircraft building hobby!
i heard horror stories about that hobby and how deep it can go.... maybe for a future video i try it out
Oh ! I love the feel and sound of my keyboard with this exact attachments...lets change something by no reason !
The ticking makes me wanna throw the keyboard away lol
the spacebar part is soooo on point🤣🤣
I've learned to stop caring about ticking as no matter what I do it comes back.... I would be in a mental ward if I kept trying to make it sound 'just right'. Just got ceramic keycaps that make them sound like marbles so I can't even hear it anymore. Also I love that one day I think my board is thocky then the next its clacky, rinse and repeat.
Tactile Gang!
5:43 i fully agree with this statement
This cracked me up sir. The truth of this hurts me; cuz I love the hobby so much! Haha
this is such a well crafted video
The ticking stabs after finishing a kb build is up there on worst things to happen next to death.
Awesome video, you have future man!
congrats! im your 500th subscriber. you should deserve more subs
Love it, great job :D
i died at the thock vs clack part
Hehe cool, I and we know this pain on the grail search for silent but responsive & crisp actuation. Hipyo actually did it, he made a totally silent but still responsive keyboard.
X-D
This is the solution to not lubing and not modding (time is the no. 1 most important tool of life, the hours to lube and mod and researching the custom parts and shopping for it could be used to research and shop for textured artisan keys and sculpted artisan keys that are not just for show but are needed to know where the clusters are in the keyboard without looking- especially in intense typing or gaming) is to embrace the amazing keyboard noise a natural notification sound that says we typed something in: must switch to the amazing blue clicky and very tactile keys which 60g or more force which I love, I love feeling the click which is the point of mechanical keyboards coz' not matter what, it's still going to be noisy, thock or or clack or clack is still annoying and still noisy just at a more pleasing lower tone but it's still like that cellphone texter who didn't disable the click sounds for texting.
Though Hipyo Tech actually did it, he made a totally silent but still responsive keyboard but still any switch that is the amazing blue clicky switch and is not the amazing very tactile, has a very strong amazing click that you feel (and sadly very noisy) blue switches is really still like typing on membrane even if it's brown switches- that tactile click, the stronger the click is felt, the better (doesn't mean 100g of force) because that's the essence of mechanical keyboards, it's how that mechanical aspect is felt (with the switch's click mainly is the heart).
Also the best position for any keyboard is building a mouse and keyboard rig that's just millimeters "floating" above your lap (keyboard on the lap is a temporary but uncomfortable solution, similar to Linus of Linus Tech Tips' 'Lapboard' but his is just a tray design) that you can easily put away (perhaps a kind of arm that's on both sides of this keyboard and mouse "desk basement/level" and is as wide as the table and/or desk mat).
God bless Rev. 21:4
Hilarious vid mate
this is honestly such a good video
Great video man! I've built a total of 3 keyboards and i stopped there... because to be honest, at the end of the day, i always feel i should have saved that money :D i don't know what where my expectations tbh, but since i like trying new stuff (for example, spent a lot of money of a custom watercool, just to learn how to do it ... and ... yeah, an AIO will do the job good enough for you not to care) ...
Weird part, i actually use a wireless razer deathstalker v2 and now and then use my customs :D
The same goes with keycaps ... worst buy i ever made. Got some PBT Fans keycaps that cost me a fortune ... and ... yeah ... not worth the money. I like the color scheme but, not worth the money tbh. I think we over-value stuff by a long shot :) don't know if it is to have the bragging rights ... but lessons learned.
Great vid, congrats! :D keep them coming
i cant even tell the difference between thocc and clack lmao
me a Silent no sound super slim/laptop keyboard enjoyer: "........ k"
Ngl I felt so vindicated when you brought up the Tuzi.
I think I got that comment a lot
You should do gamer stereotypes next.
Actually the best switch is the analogue switch that let's you bind macros to how far it travels.
You earned a sub. Awesome video!
I remember building my first keyboard and thinking, "Man, lubing the switches is part of the fun!" Cut to me 5 keyboards later, looking everywhere for pre-lubed switches...
This is top secret in the keyboard world...🤫
Great content king keep it up
the goat kiwi
I take notes from the 🐐
I had a friend that wanted me to do his stabilizers and I did. It was all good when I tested it there was not ticking, but when I gave it to him it sounded like it was bone dry. I couldn’t believe it because I did holee mod and put a lot of lube. (Edited bc I can’t spell friend)
YESSSSSSS! Cherry brown gang!
The shaking as you try to put them stem back on the spring 😭
Nice video.
Myth: everyone can affird every fun new keyboard coming out.
Reality: most of us are lucky to afford a budget keeb, with one bell and one whistle - on a payment plan.
Myth: that it's easy to remove switches from hot swappable keyboards.
Reality: almost broke several switches trying to remove them, and haven't managed to remove any yet. Dam frustrating.
Myth: it's a bunch of rich guys in their 20s doing keyboards.
Reality: it's a mix of ages and genders, and I'm pushing more clerical/admin professionals to do it because you can prevent RSI, and reduce chronic re-injury, by changing your setup away from $10 membrane keyboards - and bring back that joy in typing.
great video bro
if you're not an audiophile as well and you have a blue yeti, you can plug your headphones into the mic and have the mic passthrough your input audio! you will be able to hear your keyboard. this probably lowers the sound quality though, I'm not an expert on sound related stuff so it doesn't matter to me. at least I can hear my keyboard. also helps keep my voice down since I don't have to yell over discord calls to hear myself speaking
I was in the "it doesn't matter, I'm wearing headphones anyways" group til my kid started complaining that I woke her up typing on my keyboard. I wasn't even running tactile switches.. straight linears lol.. So, I've moved over to silent switches.. and yeah.. I think it matters depending on the use case. I don't mind clack or thock. I dont mind stab tick.. I just want the KB to be relatively quiet lol. It's all preference in the end.
Good stuff! 😂
Great content keep it uo
Missed out the best part about the lubing: the part when you assemble everything together and then realize.... there's no discernable difference compared to the factory lube that's originally on the switch which coincidentally should come with the geon x haimu switch that you used for demonstration (well, if i identified the switch correctly)
Real talk, factory lube got so good that I prefer factory lube over hand lube most of the time
okay that glarses part got me
The ticking I feel on a spiritual level, which is why I've spent way too much money on the geon works stab tool and staebies.
Tbe best part is that staebies are also ticking 🤣
Love and hate stabies
They feel great..... and they now tick as soon as i put the final keycaps on
Video and editing was definitely good (proven by the viewer numbers), hope you don't try to force yourself to release videos like this each week since it was such a huge success in relation. Video felt really natural and the comedic sense was on point
I think with videos... I want to make content when I get ideas that would be funny to me.
I'm already working on 2 videos, and if I don't get anymore ideas after that, then i would prolly stop until another one pops up! But I hope everyone enjoys the other video that will go up soon! (A week or 2)
This was a good video 👍
omg the group buys part was too real, this is why i end up buying GMK dupes
I don't love supporting dupes unless the artist themselves approved of the alternative means to the design. GMK lead times has been just unbearable for some sets tho...
@@KiwiKang I dont believe in that argument because people who can afford the original will get the original. Those that dont, wont.
Loved the video.
that stab part it too hard
I have one mechanical keyboard.
It has Cherry MX Reds.
I bought it 8 years ago.
I've done nothing to it, but twice a year I take off the caps to get the dust out with a vacuum.
It works.
The real Chad in this hobby
Man I relate so much on the lubing ahahahaha
This is so true I recently got into this haha
Im new to mechanical keyboards and i brought some random one of off aliexpress and it works great exept my space bar theres the switch then there are the two things that are shaped like a plus and they come off every time i take my space bar off how do i fix it
4:00 that is why I do not have any stabs on my keyboard :)
showing your friend you keyboard, only for them to prefer rubber dome
First time lubing switchs took me 8 hours because if a switch was not sounding right for me i unlubed relubed it, took so much time man..
I remember one time I lubed with krytox 205g0 for half of a set... and then I picked up the wrong jar of Trybosis and half of my set just felt weird. Took me a month to figure it out
nice theca dude
As soon as I built my board I distanced myself as far as I could from this community
great video and also what are the specs on the board at 1:36 with modern dolch? i really like the poppy sound of it.
Oh god... this is a frankenstein build....
F1-8x w/ Aluminum v3 plate
Cherry top, Gateron Milky bottom, Kailh Black stem, TX 62g Long spring, & Deskey Films
Using a PC v2 bottom, and OG F1 top as well
This is my endgame TKL.... then I got the Kaze and now I just gave up on that idea
Well Done
Hi bro, may I know what switches you were lubing from the start of the vid? Will gladly appreciate your reply, thanks and great vid!
They were the Geon White switches! I believe they are tactiles and made from Haimu?
I've tried fixing my ticking stablizers 3 times already with relubing and everything, it just won't work. I know the pain now xD
that gmk tuzi hurt 😭
ayyy Vivaldi gang
Too real! Lol
I gotta agree with the cherry browns
😅 funny shit man
No lies detected
What a thocky video.
Talk about flippers next time that could be comedy. 🎉🎉
just found your channel for the first time, may I know which build at 2:25 cause it sounds great!
Oh that was my F1-8X with some franken switches I made!
Top: Cherry MX Black
Stem: Kailh Black
Bottom: Gat Milky Yellow
Springs/Film: TX 62g Long/TX film
hi Kang, I'm also Kang. Nice to meet you.
Subbed
Browns really are endgame though
I don’t have my Tuzi either :< Great video!!
The tuzi part came from the soul
I bought Corsa to match tuzi, Im expecting tuzi to still come later than my board
That was great lol
What i'm amazed at is how you got your Tofu so bouncy?!?!
I took off the middle post via drill and then i burger mounted the other points as well. TBH I'm suprised that it's still going strong
This needs to be shown to everyone potentially looking at getting into the hobby.
I ordered some new switches and some tools and lube to try lubing for the first time.
Only my switches and lube arrived not the tools.
I had to pry all of them open with my nails and lube them with a toothbrush.
Not a fun first experience and the result wasnt even that worth it.
First time I lubed switches, I was using a flat head screwdriver at a Cafe. All my friends were doing HW and I was just in my little world, lubing switches
bruh that stab ticking after assembly segment is a bit too real 😭
Never underestimate how bored people can get.
"Thock is so overrated" thems fightin words
Put them up🥊🥊
i liked this video it was intresting imma give you a sub
People not in keyboard hobby: See Corsair k55 for 50 bucks and never worry about any of this
Foam vs no foam
what is the mouse you hae, it looks amazing
It's a Razer viper ultimate v1 that I got a custom paint job on it from a friend up in Canada!
Stabs 😭 Yeah that is so true
I switched to Keychron K1SE from K280E, and i can clearly say mechanical keyboards are overrated. The Keychon is well made, but it's not as cheap and not so comfortable as my older low profile K280E. And it's harder getting used to it.
Majority of low profile scissor switch keyboards are good enough literally for any tasks on PC.
RGB, PBT, huge amount of different switches, lubing something except girls and all that bells and whistles in a keyboard does look like a rabbit hole to me, and diving deeper into it only cause waste of money.
With no actual discount, while you look like an asian.
All those small form factor keyboards are minimalistic and cute, they free some space on the desk and allow you to drag mouse more safely, but as PC enthusiast, in daily usage you might lack numpad and cursor keys (insert, del, page up, page down, home, end), at least they are handy for keybindings if you don't type much or prefer gestures to move on webpages.
Bluetooth... on a keyboard. I see its pretty popular nowadays. But what is the point? It's still next to PC, and you don't drag it as mouse, why would you sacrifice speed for being wireless? Keychron has Bluetooth, but i don't see any reason of using it.
My Keychron is TKL so it's still somewhat usable on daily basis, unlike 65%, i meant wtf, how do you use it? There are almost no keys, you can't even type *Ё* with those, what a waste of plastic honestly.
I like Bluetooth bcz I use a laptop and it’s just easier not having so many cords around. And I guess unless you have to do accents and need FN keys then 65% are fine. For me I can’t go lower than 75% because I need the FN rows and I type with accents
@@Mewcaloid I didn't thought about that...
Maybe 65% makes sense for professional typing and programming. It wouldn't be a thing without demand, right?
I don't have a Numpad now, and its okay, i almost got used to it, yet, recently in one game i needed to press "+" on a numpad, to run without holding W. Its a bad game and i can just rebind this button, but i'm pretty sure i'll have to face this a few times more.
And of course i like mechanical keyboards because it's about FPS (Feels Per Second). Typing feels way much better etc.
I just had some kind of rejection stage during first days after purchasing new keyboard. The keychron is amazing. Lurking about keyboards was worth it. I know it's not the best pick and custom keyboard would be better (and much more expensive since i prefer low profile), but i'm completely fine with this one.
I'm still using $5 Mitsumi membrane keyboard :(
Expectation: "Cherry Mx Browns are just bad linears".
Reality: "Whoa, typing is much nicer when you don't bottom out every switch. Even changes the sound of the board."
Cherry Browns have a good typing feel to them.... but they're still linears
