Pretty impressed by the anount of time and effort you put in just for the sake of an April’s Fool video! I clicked liked for ur sure amount of effort put in!!!
Definitely! The yellow actually looks really good, when done properly. And if you do the legends and stuff with a proper pen, it wouldn't look too bad lol
I agree. Further, some (ok, expensive) markers are refillable. I wonder if the alcohol etches the pbt or if there color just sits on top. Waiting for the long term review in a year?
Alternatively you can print off your legend's using water slide decal paper. You can also spray paint them before hand. Hell if you use some painter's tape to mask off the legend's, you could spray paint them and remove the legend's! So many possibilities!
I can't wait to do this with my keycaps! As a very impressionable viewer, this seemed like some great content to follow now that I'm interested in mechanical keyboards!
okay, but like person from the future here. I was looking at stuff about custom keycaps, and came across this with just a generic search on bing (because I like the rewards points) and clicked. I was like "wot" and then looked at the date. Amazing. I love it.
I laughed too hard when you dropped the first keycap. Great video will definitely try making my own set of keycaps. Also I only have copic markers and sharpies are the cheaper generic ones a must-have for this to end up looking as neat as yours?
But now seriously speaking, a ninja board (no letters whatsoever) painted like that would look kind of ok even if using markers. And actually, some people can make amazing fonts by hand. So if not using markers but the right paints and brushes, the final look of manually customized keycaps could potentially be no-joke amazing really
@@TaeKeyboards The yellowing was/is caused by the fire retardant added per regulation. Chemistry is much more sophisticated now, but no one seems to know if they're modified the formula since then.
You could spray Paint on them first and then write the letters using any colour permanent marker with the help of an Alphabet Stencil. Your Keycaps looks Cheap but if you will use spray paint, then they will look Exclusive.
I was definitely considering this but people I tried spray painting my keycaps instead and it was so amazing. Also, im a little worried that it will be sticky and that it might come off...
When I saw the result of the first keycap, I knew it was an april's fools. But honestly, those keycaps have more character and are more unique than any other set you can buy, I could see some people actually doing this.
watching this way after its upload its such a great prank, cuz I didn't expect it. The moment you brought out markers though, I wondered if this was and April fools video lol
Hey, never apologize for your lame videos; I never do. lol I'd call this Nautilus Shallow End. Good luck with the $500 flip. We'll all be getting our keycaps this way once the zombie apocalypse hits.
Another lame one for your sub box. My apologies 😪
not lame, pretty cool look. thanks :)
I knew it wouldn't look like an actual high end keycap set but i was actually surprised by how good they look compared to what i was expecting
Pretty impressed by the anount of time and effort you put in just for the sake of an April’s Fool video! I clicked liked for ur sure amount of effort put in!!!
Maaaaan, I ALMOST made it all day without getting bamboozled XD
No i actually enjoyed it
you know i honestly thought this was a real video until you actually started colouring them in.
I TRUSTED YOU!
Ha! April fool!
Honestly I got played too
Me too!
Watching this for the first time now, i got played hard af. Just looked at upload date lol
when I saw it, I instantly went to the comment section to see if this is real or not
lol this comment has 667 likes
Not gonna lie, it could pass off as a fun aesthetic for a keyboard.
Yea I honestly like it
Could pass for an autistic kid’s art
@@alexcalyx thats an insult to autistic people, honestly.
@@ChildOfAnAndroid lmao
@@ChildOfAnAndroid as an austistic person i’d like to say, you are absolutely correct, but that was fuckin funny xD
I mean it's April fool's, but credit where credit is due, you did the work man
I was scratching my head, as I'm watching this on the end of September...
It left me perplexed.
but im not watching this on april fools. This channel supposed to delete this video as soon as it's not 1st april.
Your april fools joke failed. I was inspired for real.
Fr me too 😂
careful this might show up on massdrop next month for $200
Andromeda estimated ship August 2020
Lul
Still better than those keycaps with gamer-y fonts
Yep, not going to lie, this looks like a readability improvement over my razer keyboard. I like the board, but OMG was the font on the keys awful.
@@zrobotics wtf dude razer has like the least gamer font out of all those GAMING PERIPHERIALS companies
@@krzew old black widow 🤦♂️
@@krzew logitech steelseries or hyperx have worse gamer fonts than razer?
I honestly really like that style its so unique
i bet you inhale sand
@@hummusaki this comment is 2 years ago you fucking weirdo
This could actually work well if you put more time into it
Definitely! The yellow actually looks really good, when done properly. And if you do the legends and stuff with a proper pen, it wouldn't look too bad lol
@@TaeKeyboards Use a stencil for the lettering and then spray clear coat over the top to stop ink coming off and getting on your hands.

oh lord masking off the legends would be absolute hell
even though it's a joke, I really like the aesthetic!
If you spray painted them, this wouldn’t even be an April fools
Thought the same
Good luck spraying the numbers and letters in, lol
Niels Steffen Hansen he could’ve sprayed the colour then hand painted the characters then spray clear coat on it
I can't wait to do this with my keycaps! As a very impressionable viewer, this seemed like some great content to follow now that I'm interested in mechanical keyboards!
Where can I buy these high-quality keycaps?
Thanks! Now I have all the sets I was missing 💛
Honestly if you look past the letters it looks realy nice. I wasn't shure if it was an april fools joke halfway in because they looked so good.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone misspell “sure” before. A first for everything I suppose.
That's the most effort I've seen so far on an April Fools post. Hand colouring keycaps with a sharpie....
Are we not gonna talk about how the biggest April Fools joke in this video is Rocket League being played on KBM?
You almost had me. I don't know why I expected a serious video from anybody today, lol
This exact keyboard and keyset will the highlight in the next Aussie mech keyboard meetup :)
you know it's an April fool's vid when u see Comic Sans
will never fade away!!
Even though it looks trash, its still kinda cool.
Looks like a keyboard Ninja would use. Btw. Great job!
okay, but like person from the future here. I was looking at stuff about custom keycaps, and came across this with just a generic search on bing (because I like the rewards points) and clicked. I was like "wot" and then looked at the date. Amazing. I love it.
The effort is great! Can’t imagine how much time you spent doing this.
When you said "spray paint" I thought I was having a stroke. I completely forgot what day it was until you pulled out the markers 😂
😂😂😂😂😂🤣
Where do you get them from because I can’t find any blanks on amazon keeping in mind I’m from England so it could be different?
Group Buy dropping soon?
I thought this was legit for a second lmfao. You got me there for a minute!
I laughed too hard when you dropped the first keycap.
Great video will definitely try making my own set of keycaps.
Also I only have copic markers and sharpies are the cheaper generic ones a must-have for this to end up looking as neat as yours?
Correct. Copics and Sharpies won't work as good ✌
This is AWESOME. Don't get any more "custom" than that. One of a kind!
lol you trolled us really hard on this one. and you kept it serious throughout the whole video! you're awesome lol
I was looking for these earlier today and now you upload this, god bless
check the date
This was the top result on google 5 years later for making custom keycaps. Thanks April Fools Day tradition.
took me a bit to realize this was an april fools, i was gonna leave a negative comment but it was a fun video. Thanks Tae
Can you paint over them with acrylic paint?
It's awesome but where can I get these keys ?
what if you used the outside part of a sticker set for the alphas
almost forgot its april 1st
You, you are the enemy of the people.
Dude the real enemy is a nigga using markers to color PBT keycaps.
This honestly looks fun
how about poscas? do they works to paint some keycaps?
thats actually how i made my friend's ABS keycaps side blank to pudding keycaps. it ended really good
I despised the keyboard when I first saw it, but then none more then 2 seconds later, I absolutely love it now.
Will the Sharpie wear off by the aggressive smashing of the keys
Silly me, forgetting that it was April fools day. I thought it was serious at first.
Didn't look at the date published so legit thought this was gonna be a dye sub tutorial or similar lmao
I can't believe that you put this in your serious playlist LOL
But now seriously speaking, a ninja board (no letters whatsoever) painted like that would look kind of ok even if using markers. And actually, some people can make amazing fonts by hand. So if not using markers but the right paints and brushes, the final look of manually customized keycaps could potentially be no-joke amazing really
Yeh blanks would actually work fine if you colour them in properly. And if someone were good at lettering, then they wouldn't be half bad.
He did not disappoint
very late. you can see most shots were at night lol.
where did you get your blank keycaps i can t find any
If you think about it - by doing this you can have a truly unique, one of a kind keyboard, as your handwriting is unique (to some extent)
TFW a joke idea becomes painstaking labor
no ragrets
have you tried to do this in reality with dye sub markers?
Spray painting them?
Best April fool's of the year. Congratulation!
Better than the GMK Oblivion V2 group buy ? :)) geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100062.0
When I finally get to building a pain 27 I'll be sure to give this a try
cool vid but is it not easier to spray paint the keycaps
This was a top search result for 'making custom keycaps' XD.
I just won’t plane white key caps I have a SteelSeries apex 5 and I won’t them to have the letters and numbers on the caps pr done
I surrender your brilliance is astonishing
the lights actually made this amazing
Do you get smudges on it or no
Yo when you do a review for the Varmilo VG104M?
Do you know if modern ABS plastic still yellows over time?
Serious question? I think now they're much better right? Well that's what people say, I don't really know.
@@TaeKeyboards The yellowing was/is caused by the fire retardant added per regulation. Chemistry is much more sophisticated now, but no one seems to know if they're modified the formula since then.
All jokes aside i actually really like the robust style and colours! nice idea!
How did you SEO this video to #2 on Google for "custom keycaps keyboard"???
Congratulations you’ve gotten my sub
can u still use sharpies
I was dying to see a guide on making custom keycaps,but then...
P.s. Can you make an actual guide on how to make custom keycaps,or suggest any?
I love this creative work of yours!
I bet someone actually did this
I thought this was legit and felt really embarrassed for you, until I saw the upload date of April 1st. Great video :D
Why wasn't this the giveaway?? These caps are hot.
I kinda like it. Looks like Windows High Contrast theme.
honestly how long did it take to color all those keycaps?
Would it fade with the time?
definitely haha.
I would no be surprised if anyone posted a keyboard using this techinque at reddit.
You could spray Paint on them first and then write the letters using any colour permanent marker with the help of an Alphabet Stencil.
Your Keycaps looks Cheap but if you will use spray paint, then they will look Exclusive.
This is some good tae 👌👌👉😎👉
lollll
I was definitely considering this but people I tried spray painting my keycaps instead and it was so amazing. Also, im a little worried that it will be sticky and that it might come off...
Me: can I have new keycaps?
Mom: we have keycaps at home.
Keycaps at home:
i thought you where serious until i saw you playing rocket league with mouse and keyboard ;-)
found this a week later :(
Edit: A year and a week later.
When I saw the result of the first keycap, I knew it was an april's fools. But honestly, those keycaps have more character and are more unique than any other set you can buy, I could see some people actually doing this.
wow so clean, so modern.
im looking for some korean keycaps and saw a reddit post that you had korean keycaps. Where is the best place to buy korean keycaps?
There's some on KPrepublic.
@@TaeKeyboards thank you
watching this way after its upload its such a great prank, cuz I didn't expect it. The moment you brought out markers though, I wondered if this was and April fools video lol
had to check the date on this one lol. You got me a day after! LOL
make a new name to this video like "how to waste 7 minutes."
Does anybody know where to get keycaps for membrane keyboards
Custom font ! Is it taekb font ?
Yes, 1/1 font
nice one mate :), you had me at first
Why it has Lisa in the end of the video?
I think it looks cooler if you buy some spray cans to dye the key caps ... but also a good trick to do your own ones
even tho im late i gotta double check the date! nice one lol
Hey, never apologize for your lame videos; I never do. lol
I'd call this Nautilus Shallow End. Good luck with the $500 flip. We'll all be getting our keycaps this way once the zombie apocalypse hits.
500 ez. Could flip for much more tbh
I would try this, but unfortunately my handwriting is worse than a kindergartener :(
I searched for how to make custom keycaps and actually thought this was real until I read the comments.....WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?
Why does this actually look better than the real thing anyone else prefer the shade of colour
