More keyboard videos please! The hobby has its claws into me and I desperately want to see Jay go absolutely mad and mod the absolute hell out of a board.
Definitely want to see more keyboard content, I never knew you could customise them so much! I'd love to see more of Nick and Phil too, they're great hosts, they should do more solo vids!
It only seems that way on the surface, but when you dig deeper, you realize they have very constricted configurations. Want media keys? I hope you like just having a volume knob. Would it kill anybody to put the arrows and the numpad on the left for a more ergonomic typing and mousing experience? They exist, but are a) no longer available or b) fugly as hell.
@@morgan5941 The sky is the limit on customizing keyboards. You can go as far as designing your own PCB and having it printed. Or you can hand wire one with a 3d printed case. Plenty of youtube videos with explanations on how its done.
Honestly great to see a more tame keyboard video. Like more for the casual enthusiast. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Would love to see more of this
@@TheDragonmasterk Keychron is good starting out if you're willing to put in some work with modding the keyboard, Glorious I pretty much avoid like the plague at this point because of how skeezy of a company they are, and the Glorious Pandas were only the start. If you want something better out of the box, Drop has the Zoo65, TheKeyCompany has the Monsgeek M1 (75% layout) and M2 (an 1800 layout), even the Akko Top75 and SPR67 are decent options, but finding those kind of middle-ground budget kits and even the higher end ones requires quite some research given how many vendors there are and how sparse news spreads. If you want pretty much the comprehensive list of keyboard vendors out there, Alexotos (a pretty beloved creator in the space) has a full list of vendors for all regions (you may have to do some country hopping to get what you want though) including some discount codes based on sponsorship and affiliation.
@@TheDragonmasterk There are plenty of videos about beginner friendly barebones kit out there, like the boards from Qwertykeys (QK60, QK80, …). These are around the same price range as gmmk pro but are much better bang for your buck
@@JakeTran141 If you literally know *nothing* about keyboards, it's just better to go with keychron or akko. Both have great budget boards, keycaps *and* akko makes really good budget switches. Some of their latest ones are the best in their pricegroup(am specifically talking about the cream yellows and blues).
Love the keyboard videos idea. Nick's calmer tone is perfect to match the mellow keyboard aesthetic that is almost synonymous with Lo-fi lol. As someone just jumping into the hobby, having a reliable source like JayzTwoCents cover it would def be a bonus.
Nice job, Nick! love that you did a sound profile of all the types of switch, and a contrast of Phil typing differently. P. S. Phil is wrong, linears are great if you rely on muscle memory, not feedback.
Definitely want to see more content with keyboards and Nick. Even that $170 GMMK Pro barebone is just a "gateway" product into the rabbit hole. It still has so much to improve!
Yep, it's very easy to end up in the $600-$800 range for a complete builld. I run a Parallel Portal with a 65% hotswap pcb, hand lubed gateron milky yellow pro switches, and GMK caps. Smooth as butter with a great deep sound, but it was certainly expensive.
Good stuff, maybe go into the differences in switches and some of the more niche switches as well. And more about adding foam and modding the boards etc. Thanks for all the content!
Excellent episode. I ventured into mechanical keyboards early last year and picked up (as my starter) the Keychron K3 (V2) white backlight keyboard with the red hot-swappable optical switches (pre-installed) plus a bag of blue hot-swappable optical switches which I recently switched over to.
Happy to see Nick hosting videos! Love his calm vibe and way he goes about explaining things. He has some work to do as far as presentation goes; sound more confident, more deliberate, etc. But, with time I’m sure he’ll get better. I think having him host videos on a more regular basis is incredibly refreshing, and definitly the way to go in the future!
My other half bought me a Keychron Q6 a few weeks ago, and I love it. With a CNC machined and anodised 6063 aluminium body, PBT keycaps, and screw-in key stabilisers, it screams quality. It's so solidly built that I no longer have a problem with my keyboard scooting about my desk with barely a touch. The support for 5 pin switches keeps your options open, the South facing RGB means the switch body doesn't get in the way of the light, and QMK/VIA support, means it's highly configurable from a web browser without having to install proprietary software. VIA comes with a built in key tester and all of your configuration, including macros and modes, are stored in the flash memory of the keyboard itself, so you take it all with you between computers. You can even repurpose the PC/Mac switch on the back as a working/gaming switch, or re-compile it's open source firmware for the ultimate in configurability. Overall it's a huge upgrade over my old Logitech G810, and I'd highly recommend checking out the Q6 or other QMK/VIA based keyboards. (No affiliation, just a satisfied user)
As someone who is slowly getting into custom mechanical keyboard world, this video was an awesome way to explain some basics. Would love to see more in the future!
Great job Nic, I was hoping we'd get a chance to see something on the keyboard. A follow up vid after some usage would be great. Things you like, things to change etc..
Looking forward to Nick getting deeper down the rabbit hole and 100% you'll love the difference once you get into lubricating. Can relate to the spacebar issue from one of my recent lube attempts, ran into the same problem myself and fixing it was tough.
Awesome job Nick. MORE KEYBOARD VIDS FROM YOU ARE NEEDED ! I have recently started looking into making a mech. keyboard. I have been watching vids and reading a lot on the subject, just to get a good basic grounding on the subject. Just yesterday I went to micro center for the first time ( I live in BFE and dont have one near me ) and learned much more. Thank you Nick and again GOOD JOB !
Nick did a great job on this video! Need to have more Phil and Nick videos. Nothing against you Jay, it’s just something different and both of them do a great job too!
Building a Keyboard Custom is really fun and Satisfying, Love to see some more of this content. Maybe When the Group buy ships We can see that one put together as well.
keyboard building is like the new ASMR for me, the only thing we are missing is the typewriter sound after you press "enter." great content, keep giving them screen time Jay
I like the change up with the nick being the head of this one, i like seeing what the crew is playing with. also i would love more keyboard vids if there is more. i know nothing about the whole custom key board stuff beucase im a function over form guy but still very cool to learn about.
Great video, you make it really easy to understand for people that are not used to customizing keyboards. I'd like to see more keyboard content ... and to see the descend into the bottomless rabbit hole that is custom keyboard hobby ...
Monthly keyboard builds with Nick would be sweet! From super custom to prebuilts to build kits. Try new switches/keycaps/cables/foam/themes for every monthly build. Would be great inspiration for future keyboard builds. Be cool to see some content that Phil is passionate about too. Would be very cool to see all 3 host every now And then on this channel!
I was literally thinking about this the other day, thanks Nick! Bring on more keyboards, or anything else that you guys are interested in with tech like this that's different from just buying something and opening it. Building it is cool!
I'm not a keyboard enthusiast myself, I use a Corsair K95 XT and suits me just fine, but it's interesting to see custom keyboard content, keep it coming Nick!
Imagine being sold 60% of a keyboard, have to assemble it yourself, and being charged double the price of a real keyboard… and thinking that’s a good thing.
Custom keyboards are a really nice thing to have. I love my KBDfans Tofu case in white, with Kiwi switches, upgraded the spring to 70g and finished it off with a set of Idobao MA black on white keycaps. Nice and clean, no RGB!!!!! Well the board is backlit for clear cases but I don't use them. Lubed all the switches myself.......that takes some time!! Fun though. Nice to see Nick hosting, great video. Custom building keyboards can get addictive!!!!!
After building several custom keyboard I could never go back to a prebuilt keyboard, hope more people join the hobby since keyboards are something that’s so intrinsic to gaming and custom PCs.
awesome breakdown of custom/high end keyboards and the sound test of each one really separates them from one another and that had to be jay at the end just going nuts on the keyboard goofing off
Now this is so well timed, literally just fixed my Hotswap pcb and re made my 60% keyboard with a brass plate, Durock stabs, novelkeys creams all lubed with Kytox 205g0, all combined with the tofu acrylic case for the backlight diffusion
Nick needs to do more videos. He's a natural for this. Great stuff.
ปีที่แล้ว +2
Awesome Nick, love this one. I would like a video on all the different aspect of the base, low profile keys and making the keyboard as personal as one might want to. I am completely new to this but have started to look into all the thing you need to think of when building your own (i prefer low profile, silent and linear when possible - using an old Steelseries Apex M800 which are way too high in both profile and general sounding)
Custom keyboard content is something I'll watch, no doubt. I use a mild custom keyboard daily and love seeing other people's builds and ideas come alive.
I love this! I never new this was a thing. If I build a custom, I've gotta have clicky. I use a Black Widow Ultimate right now with Razer Greens and I love the bump and click.
Highly recommend Box Pinks if you go for clickies. The actuation force isn't too heavy or too light and the click is clear and crisp, but not super loud or high pitched. Stay away from Jades. They're the highest pitch of the clickies and it gets extremely fatiguing after a while.
I built a Dactyl Manuform split keyboard not too long ago. Put some Gateron Yellows (linears) on it, but I went with DSA profile keys. Did all the wiring, 3D printed the case, modified the custom firmware. So nice to have a keyboard you love. :3
Please do more keyboard videos. I am a keyboard building n00b and have always been intimidated to start one because I know nothing about them. An "idiots guide" series would be amazing. Was also nice to see Nick host a video. He did well. Now we just need Phil to join in.
Nick, if spacebar keeps getting stuck or is slow/unresponsive, if stabs are screw mounted which they are in gmmk pro, try losening screws just a tiny bit... Sometimes overtightening screws into stabs makes plastic warp. I had a case where loosening screw just a bit on both sides unstuck spacebar and it was smooth and responsive.
As a keeb nerd, it is cool to see Nick making this vid! I'm always for more keyboard content! Nick should go deep down the rabbit hole and do some modding on the keyboard! I think you should do a mid to high end build! There are some good ones in stock right now. Check out the Odin75 from KBDFans, Mode Sonnet, Envoy, etc!
honestly got into building pcs bc i started watching custom keyboards and i watched you when i built my first pc so this is dope and i love nick n phil!
id love to see a series with the keyboard on different switches, keycaps, goofy like products that would be sold on wish keyboard things, etc. Nick is such a nice and calm person we need a series for nick with keyboard lol
First off, love seeing content from the other members. After all this chanell is a group effort. We just need nice thick OEM style switches. I rock a budget RK84 that I have heavily modded. Sheets of window gell in the bottom of the case is my secret sauce. Still love ya Jay.
I snagged one of those multi-dial Skyloong keebs that was part of a group buy a few months back. They were kind enough to throw in the aviator cable AND all of the possible USB adapters on both ends of the cable (USB-C, Type A, Micro USB) and even some male to female adaptors too. It's a little thing and it probably didn't cost the manufacturer much to do it, but it lets you skip the guessing game when you are swapping cables and keebs around.
Great video, all of the information I need to be able to decide on what to buy, I also like the blue light from the switches and I'd definitely like to see more keyboard videos, I have no clue what the round part was on the left side of Phil's keyboard.
This was a nice change of pace and I've been getting into changing out switches and trying new layouts as I cannot settle on one type of keyboard to type or game on. I now have 5 different keyboards with different switches and most of the layouts are TKL. Gaming mice are worse...
This was a great vid! One criticism - I would've loved to hear why you chose those switches. I'm just getting into this myself, I was using a logitech membrane keyboard, then "graduated" to a Razer Blackwidow, and now I'm using a Ducky 1-2. Love my Ducky more than I thought possible!
Would love to see some more keyboard stuff, particularly on the budget side since I don't have much of a budget for one, but really like the custom mechanical keyboards
Wow 1st time I've watched through a whole j2c video, not getting bored during the last 4 minutes and clicking away. Thanks for holding my attention ! 🙂
I'm glad to learn about this. I would like to hear from everyone on how they clean their keyboards. If you could make a video on how you clean your keyboards it would be great
I also have the GMMK pro with inky yellow linear switches that I lubed. I lubed and also replaced all the stabilizers. Modding and personalizing your keyboard can be a big jump into the rabbit hole.
I always looked at custom keyboards as another rabbit hole I wanted to steer clear from. But I’m glad I got a better understanding of what I may like if I did decide to take the leap
Please let Nick make more of these vids. I like his calm vibe.
Gives a pretty awesome dynamic on the channel between the three of you :)
More NICK, moar keebs
it's weird watching a JayzTwoCents video that's so much calmer. it feels off, but like not necessarily in a bad way.
I kinda dig these more laid back tech videos. I hope Nic does more of them.
Nick asmr vid coming soon lol
I think Nic is just one of those naturally chill guys. Great video tho. We need more!!!
😆
Agreed. It was JayTwoCents minus the road rage. The kid killed it. Strong work!
More keyboard videos please! The hobby has its claws into me and I desperately want to see Jay go absolutely mad and mod the absolute hell out of a board.
You're right - I've yet to see a water cooled keyboard before :D
it would be awesome to see Jay mod a keyboard. make it go with some crazy pc build he has, or something.
its so hard. I ahve my 65%, my 96%, my wifes 100%. I have my eye on a frl-1800 for my next. Groupbuys take so so long though.
@@CaptainCoel closed GB already? Which FRL 1800?
As mentioned below.. Nick has such a calm touch in his voice and delivery. I like it!
Need more Nick videos. The guy is so chill that it brings me down a few notches after a stressful day at work.
Definitely want to see more keyboard content, I never knew you could customise them so much! I'd love to see more of Nick and Phil too, they're great hosts, they should do more solo vids!

@@mistrsynistr7644 not everyone is going to do that not even engineers lol
It's an entire rabbit hole, fun to learn about but damaging to your wallet if you get addicted like me lol
Is it consensus yet that Wooting 60HE is the best gaming keyboard right now?
Honestly great to see a more tame keyboard video. Like more for the casual enthusiast. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Would love to see more of this
Compared to the options in the market right now, there are way better options than nzxt out of all producers, but other than that I agree

Keyboards rock!
Nice job, Nick! love that you did a sound profile of all the types of switch, and a contrast of Phil typing differently.

I just love the dynamic between you three. I do dig into Jay allowing for more space for Nick and Phil.
I hope Jay's health is OK. I've noticed a trend of missing major tech stories such as 7800x3d. It's not like him to miss tech news like that .
As someone who is slowly getting into custom mechanical keyboard world, this video was an awesome way to explain some basics. Would love to see more in the future!
Was A Nice Change Of Pace For The Videos

Jay is lucky to have such a good crew working with him, well done.
always love seeing Nick or Phil in front of the camera. Its a great change of pace. Keep up the great work and we will see YOU in the next video!

Now that's building a keyboard from scratch!
When do you have time to play games?

This was a great vid! One criticism - I would've loved to hear why you chose those switches. I'm just getting into this myself, I was using a logitech membrane keyboard, then "graduated" to a Razer Blackwidow, and now I'm using a Ducky 1-2. Love my Ducky more than I thought possible!
Would love to see some more keyboard stuff, particularly on the budget side since I don't have much of a budget for one, but really like the custom mechanical keyboards
Should definitely make more keyboard videos. Always nice to see!
Wow 1st time I've watched through a whole j2c video, not getting bored during the last 4 minutes and clicking away. Thanks for holding my attention ! 🙂
I could care less about keyboard videos, but I watched all of this anyway because I enjoyed the presentation. Well Done Nick!
More of this please! Great video Nick!
This is a great video! More of this please. Well done guys
I'm glad to learn about this. I would like to hear from everyone on how they clean their keyboards. If you could make a video on how you clean your keyboards it would be great
If I begin to see too much keyboard stuff by Nic I'm afraid I'll fall down a new rabbit hole... Really cool stuff.
I also have the GMMK pro with inky yellow linear switches that I lubed. I lubed and also replaced all the stabilizers. Modding and personalizing your keyboard can be a big jump into the rabbit hole.
I always looked at custom keyboards as another rabbit hole I wanted to steer clear from. But I’m glad I got a better understanding of what I may like if I did decide to take the leap
Would like to see a full customization video including soldering and lubing!
This video was awesome and laid back!!
