276,480 Ways To Build This - Too Much?! QK100

[@not_fragile5432]

i could listen to the QK 100 - pc plate - gasket mount - all foam no - flex pcb set up all day

[@Keybored]

Haha doesn't it sound crazy... All the options

[@mrmugen53]

Your videos are always the ones I look forward to the most. The combination of humor, in-depth information, science and top-notch production is perfect edutainment. Thank you so much for the effort you put into your work for all of us.

[@muddystick]

I have ditched all my keyboard subs with the exception of Keybored and Glarses. Got sick of the gimmicks and "humour" attempts or cringe *aesthetic* videos from the others.

[@aifresnofresno]

Scott, thank you for all your hard work. We all do appreciate it.

[@Keybored]

Glad to be of help!

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Honestly this might be the best entry so far. My only problem with the board is that without foam the modifiers sound a little hollow but the alphas sound really nice even without foam.

[@AlHunter07]

A force break should help it

[@CDeeez94]

Thank you for your work in making this review. I'm sure it took a long time to assemble, re-assemble, and test this board with all of the different components on top of filming and documenting all of it. This was a great review! Really might consider purchasing one after seeing all of the different combinations.

[@Lishtenbird]

Kids these days... In late 2000s, we had 276480-in-one card readers - and we *liked* it!

[@Keybored]

Lol absolutely!

[@SurvivalistMedia]

In the 80s and 90s computers came with awesome keyboards, but my first 486 cost like 4000 bucks so I guess it had better come with a banging keyboard.

[@wolf-xf6hf]

The amount of work in this video is honestly astounding and all without sacrificing any quality in the actual video.

[@phamnguyendungnhan6720]

Best keyboard channel so far when it come to content. Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@BikbikBik]

Love this vid! First I was thinking of gasket mt, flexcut PCB, POM but I kinda like your final build... too much to select and it is agonizing... lol!

[@leftcoastfunk]

Thank you for all of your reviews, and especially thank you for strongly emphasizing that there's no "right" or "wrong" in the hobby and it's all about what each individual wants and likes. The importance of personal preference is so often overlooked, forgotten, or blatantly ignored by many custom keyboard enthusiasts. The hobby in general just isn't as niche or small as it used to be anymore, so I think it's really great if everyone could do their build(s) however they want without being judged or ridiculed Anyway, I'm actually not a big fan of any of these build combinations to be honest... the case just sounds way too hollow for me, even with all foams

[@Keybored]

I think especially now with so many choices and combinations, truly no right or wrong anymore

[@nac5605]

i regret not getting a qk65 when it first launched. i’m NOT making the same mistake with this one!

[@kyuriii]

Thanks for the super thorough review with all of the comparisons, really helpful! It was also comforting to hear that you enjoyed the foam sound as foam builds seem very looked down upon these days. :') Made me feel a little less insecure about having just chosen to build my QK80 with foams the other day!

[@Shivartin]

That comment on indecisivness, "I don't know, I'm not even sure", trully got me laughing :). I feel that this is one of the best intros you have made to date.

[@PYROof404]

As always, your videos are the best in the hobby. Thanks for another great one. Replying to the KFA plug: second worst GB experience ive had so far. Updates are few and far between, and ive gotten two other GB boards since ordering my freebird. Probably faster than Maker but damn...

[@Keybored]

:( that's too bad to hear. I'll let them know that

[@janaysmith3376]

Just Pre-Ordered mine. Your video was extremely helpful especially for a newb like me. So excited!!!

[@I1S1337]

Huge props for going through so many builds for the sound tests.

[@keysncoffee7733]

Thanks so much for putting in all that work with this keyboard! I’m very interested in it as I’ve been in the market for a full size kb. Love the ever improving production quality also. The beginning was fun to watch 😁

[@TheManicGeek]

For me, top mount really stood out for me in the acoustics department, seemed like things were a bit tighter without the need for foam. I think I'd probably go top mount with either Alu or FR4, non-flex cut wireless PCB, in Lavender with the white screen bezel and weight.

[@elikirkwood4580]

I just recently got my qk 80. I put jwk blueys in it, plateless, no foam and pbtfans wob. It turned out really nice, although its very quiet. I can 100% recommend their boards

[@IronCan88]

Awesome job Scott. You never disappoint. I can't imagine building that thing 10 times myself. Probably going to grow some corn on the fingers😅

[@makata_pro1698]

Thanks for showcasing all the options and possible build.. ❤❤❤.

[@YurttheSilentChief1]

It must've been so tiring reassembling a layout like this over and over again for the video. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@donut3110]

The all foam definitely was more pleasant to the ears. Appreciate you taking the time to do all of those combinations because I had considered the flex board and no foam thinking all I needed was a POM plate and I couldn't have been more wrong. Almost identical to your preferred build except I'm going with Kailh Box Black's using Cerakey's ceramic keys.

[@omritzadok1909]

Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your videos, we love you too bro

[@Keybored]

Thank you so much! I've always felt so much love from all of yall!

[@albertko1]

Just a little bit marbly with a nice clean midrange tone... *chef's kiss*

[@Keybored]

The crazy thing is that we know each enough now to achieve that lol

[@zhieson]

Thanks again for another great review with so many configurations! Great switch choice (as usual) too! Great looking/sounding for the price but does seem to have some hollowness, especially without foam, but I bet plate foam would be a good in-between for this board.

[@Keybored]

Yup! The foam Def helps to even out the sound. I decided to put it into my build for sure

[@OhNoProjectZero]

If the QK100 was southpaw, I’d buy it in an instant. I have a Gok 7v with a KBDPad on the left so I don’t collide my mouse onto the keyboard while playing.

[@Keybored]

They should gave that option too and make it half million different combinations haha

[@nikolakostic5667]

Qk OG sound is still my favorite sound in any keyboard

[@qwertykeys2119]

tyvm for support!

[@DvineDragoon]

Your build sound is great. Sounds like top mount but probably feels soft and nice like a gasket mount.

[@yuan81]

I know PC plate is soft, but what is the difference between ALU and CF plate? I thought they are both rigid.

[@m4nc1n1]

I have been waiting for a good 1800! Will def try and order this in 5 days. I will go with Anodized Red and Gold Weight, No Flex ANSI HotswapPCB, Golden Badge. Not sure what plate to go with. ALU, CF, POM, or FR4 :( I only have experience with ALU and Brass on my GMMK Pro and ALU on my Q5. Might just stick with ALU since I know it. Why does everyone seem to go FR4?

[@qwertykeys2119]

most actually go POM

[@stephenmk1344]

Hero! I do have a bit of decision paralysis on this, lol

[@blasstois]

100 percent picking this up.

[@cognosis378]

Love your work, and appreciate the effort put in. Really wish we could have heard the numpad though ❤

[@Keybored]

The numpad has a very consistent sound as well! Similar to the alphas

[@muscularibuprofen69]

Best keeb reviewer out there. Nice one Scott

[@leoneldb60]

The video that I was waiting for! Definitely gonna buy it too!

[@leoneldb60]

[@drekforder2952]

Why do I feel like the flex-cut actually has a deeper sound than the non-flex?

[@Shivartin]

Also, I would love to see how you got the 276,480 number.

[@tictacloved]

Thank your for your sacrifice!🖖Your ideal build is the exact same build that I was thinking of, minus the switch, which I might pick a WS switch instead, so thank you for helping me decide! Cheers! oh and what was the stabs you changed to at the end?

[@Keybored]

I changed it out for some 1.2mm specific TX Stabs!

[@tictacloved]

@@Keybored ooo TX, one of my faves, thanks for the reply!

[@KDZen]

Can't wait for this board, thinking I might be a lazy bastard and go for the included switches + keycaps bundle this time lol. Does anyone know if that option arrives preassembled? And if so, which or any of the foams would be added? Fantastic video as usual ❤️

[@IronCan88]

They won't assemble. You will have to do it yourself, since thats where the fun is in custom keyboard

[@Keybored]

I'm not sure if it comes complete, or just components in a box lol

[@makata_pro1698]

Hello scott, i know my question is not related on this video but may be you can help me. I have Phoenix TKL (Solder) i was wondering what hotswap PCB is compatible with my board and where i can possibly buy it 🙏. I been asking and looking all around I haven’t gotten any response 😭😭😭. Thanks in advance

[@ErolinYu]

Great video. Where I can purchase the same keycaps that you have?

[@flacidtoe]

Do you feel like the flexcut pcb still had too much flex with all the foams installed?

[@gun6934]

this is legend clip! thanks!

[@cloudconnected7008]

I like the second build. i just want a thocky low sound keeb

[@Keybored]

[@OmegaTempest]

Great Video! Top quality from you as usual. A little sad there was no going over what the qk software is like. I have the qk80 wired non flex cut 1.2mm and so far via support is shakey / not working at all, and ended up using vial to make the changes i needed. And even then turning up and down the rgb had do be done wirh the weird hardcoded fn+f8 and not in the vial lighting tab (like my odin v2). So while the hardware is a banger, not a particularly high opinion of the qk firmware/software atm. Also looks like both features i am interested in, the flex cut and the screen, are limited to the tri-mode qk software pcbs (looks like wired is only no flex cut and badge only). Additionally, no word of the wired / non flex cut pcbs will have rgb like the qk80. Looks like you didnt go over it because the software isnt finished, but that's a real shame since imo that screen is taking up prime real estate (the 75% column instead of the keys above the numpad) and is a weird orientation (tall vs wide) and i wanted to know what they leveraged it for.

[@Keybored]

Unfortunately, the pcb I had needed qk config and it wasn't final when we received :(

[@qwertykeys2119]

for qk80 - please turn on v2 definition in the design tab to enable; the hardcoded rgb is because vial does not support 2 led settings yet and our strip takes that spot already; wired pcb does have rgb as noted in the notion doc; the detail intro of screen is in the wireless build guide tft section as well - we did not request the software part to be included by any of the content creators; orientation is subjective and we just feel that the location between F12 and Delete is the hardest to reach (without looking and get it correct) hence the placement; hope these solve your questions

Question about the QK01 keycaps shown here - on the Qwertykeys website these look dark blue with dark grey/blueish alphas. Here they're white alphas. Is the picture on their website off. Or are these shown here not the final product?

Bit random, but would love to see the comparison between a tape mod flex cut pcb vs non-flex cut pcb! If they’re about the same, the flex cuts would all for more customisation :O
