0:29 "Mine's about- WITH MA BAND SAW!" ._.

[@BagelTree1]

Found another one. 0:09 "-ING Mousepad project"

[@Scry999]

***** sounded like ''a quick mouse pad project'' but he said it really quick.

[@maji___]

"The thicker the better"

[@toamastar]

love it! good old kipkay is back!!

[@urmomsahoe1]

this is actually cool and looks easy to make. hope you can keep this up.

[@nathanswanson1117]

Ill stick with my QCK+ for CS:GO...

[@mikeyy_1159]

+zRumble  same lel

[@oiytd5wugho]

yeah, it looks grat, but I doubt that its a good surface for mouse.

[@SkullSkillsSkates]

mousepads aren't that important, you can play wihtout one, with a small stack of paper or just one from the dollars store.

[@MultiQuikscopez]

SkullSkillsSkates They actually ARE important. But not for your games like minecraft lol.

[@SkullSkillsSkates]

i play fast-pace fps games and without a mouse pad, it's that important. it's only important if you think it is.

[@oiytd5wugho]

SkullSkillsSkates I'd like to see you play something competetively.

[@MultiQuikscopez]

SkullSkillsSkates It is important cuz accuracy is everything

[@mikelangenberg4679]

Kipkay you're doing a wonderful job! I love to watch your videos! Keep going!

[@bvjgcigh]

Its been a while since I've seen a good video from you again. This made me happy.

[@AlanHell080]

To get all the tools I needed for this project, I might end up spending $5000~~~ but great video!

[@Ryanisawesome12345]

Not true, it would have been worth about $426 USD

[@CvnDqnrU]

Issue reported for this video Spam or misleading > Scams / fraud

[@Ryanisawesome12345]

CvnDqnrU rightio, but i did the calculations. But different brands will vary

[@thorhaveron]

Ha. Remember when this was useful? *scrolls past hundreds of cheap RGB mousepads*

[@AquaBubblez13]

I miss your videos!!! Please make more! :o)

[@asderipieree]

Finally a good video from kipkay in a while :D . Altho im never gonna make that project, but its an interesting concept

[@SanathTech]

"The thicker the better!" ~ that's what she said

[@trains6824]

Could I just buy one fromyou

[@BlanchProductions]

Nice Kip, Finally making some good videos, this one and the last few.

[@seanseanseanseansean]

That is the BEST project I have seen you do in awhile!

[@wilbso]

I made this with el wire instead of LEDs and put my logo on it so my logo glows :D

[@colestreater675]

That sounds better becausethen its a semi- wireless system with the little board. Ill try that!

[@Taterthot2]

Directions not clear enough, got my Dick stuck in my ceiling fan

[@wilbso]

***** Oh shit...I'm sorry xD

[@Hexthrill]

Showcase it on your channel? :D

[@PunakiviAddikti]

That's actually a very good idea. I have a few lengths of EL wire and some of their transformers laying around, maybe I'll try that.

[@nicver100]

This guy has something with hot glue and led's man n_n

[@ToddyupaGames]

0:28 "Cut out the size you want. Mines about with a bandsaw!"

[@JakeHeffron]

That's sweet, I like your music and new intro

[@ErrolHartshorn]

$5 dollar mouse pad... $800 bucks worth of equipment

[@stefanoszachariou8195]

Some people have the equipment some dont, sometimes what you said is true in this instance all you really need is a dremel, stop complaining start using your head.

[@Falinzin]

Did it all with a Dremel 7300, I have better tools, I just wanted a challenge.

[@MooSaidChicken]

***** I don't think mouse pads really break your wallet kid, lol.

[@fuckvnb7541]

Budget Razer Mouse Pad

[@brxmes]

ikr

[@FrostbiteXZ]

this idea is awesome kipkay :p

[@lusuy65]

you got me all puzzled, kip. anyways this is what I waited form you. Good job.

[@raymondbroussard3527]

why did he skip words at 0:22

[@ob9444]

+Raymond Broussard he didn't?

[@nima20031]

Lmao 😂😂

[@NewfieMan98]

Ollie Badstue he did. More towards 28-30 seconds

[@DanielsGameVault]

Woops 0:27 :))

[@SteelSeriesProducts]

Daniel's Game Vault ?

[@TheCyberCrabTV]

Benito Camela he said " mine's about - and i cut the strip with my band saw" he cut his words while editing by accident

[@MrBob4901]

+Daniel's Game Vault do you get the glow around the mousepad due to total internal reflection?, so if I were to make one of these mousepads but an extended version to fit a keyboard onto as well, all I would do would be to add a couple extra led bulbs into the circuit.

[@TheCyberCrabTV]

MrBob4901 it's alright not the best but just make sure so sand the edges well so it give it a diffuse look

[@MrBob4901]

TyranPro MC thanks do you think that if I mount two LED's in the centre facing outwards that will work better??

[@dsjhon100]

Kipkay this what we like to see your back in the game

[@goop2526]

another cool thing to do would be, since it's plexiglass, you could use a piece of fine sandpaper or a fine sanding bit for a dremel and sand some desin (like the circuitboard) in the surface. that will give it a nice matte finish to the parts that you want to glow, and when you switch the light on, only the part that you sanded will glow! :D

[@drender8466]

pffff.. i have the razer Firefly.

[@jujurawks]

+Drender i got it then returned it, the hardplastic gets uncomfortable after gaming for a while. I prefer the cloth surface.

[@ali1510]

+Drender I was thinking the same as I was watching the Video :P

[@drender8466]

+Kevin HÖHÖ KEVIN

[@Carstoast]

just remember , you paid for an over priced mousepad ...

[@jujurawks]

Carlos Ayala Yes, people pay extra for neat things. Do you use your mouse on top of a dirt pile?

[@HiloFarmersMarket]

this is really awesome, i loved this one

[@cameraman1234567890]

Kipkay you never disappoint that's for sure I'm going to make this mousepad in the spring this year great idea

[@Bjornoow]

New intro is Nice man

[@kizer1346]

Now this is what I subscribed to Kipkay for.

[@intelX1000]

The kind of videos I subbed for!

[@bluemittens100]

Works so well

[@doctahoofan]

Nice job, KipKay!! :D

[@PunkisthenewBlack]

that looks so awesum! luv ya kip! ^o^

[@NickKproducts]

Kipkay's making a comeback!

[@MrYoshibros]

The real kipkay is back

[@rortendaprojekts]

Your projects start being fun again...

[@97SWT]

Now THAT'S a good one. Thanks kipkay

[@Herby7800]

nice idea kip! but i also would round the edges so its more pleasant for the wrist

[@Reptif97]

This is so cool, that I'll have to build one myself! Unfortunately I don't have a plexiglass, but the other stuff I can find at my home :) Cool little project

[@Jmhcustoms]

Great ideas, thanks for sharing!

[@XxC0ldH3artxX]

So cool, welcome back to my subscription list, kipkay.

[@chaochampify]

cool i liked it keep it up kip.

[@SkillJim]

Cool project, I like it alot :)!

[@DylanChannel123]

Thanks for a idea

[@glosoris]

it still looks AWESOME

[@mrg1928]

Wow! Normally I just watch Kipkays videos for entertainment but i'm actually considering making this one because I just finished building my gaming rig! :D

[@1000Justlife]

i liked this one, good job !

[@tylerbeach8025]

I made one with just a soldering iron to make the spots for wires, and i used duck tape for the background, and the tape adheasives glow, its awesome

[@jacobclayton6944]

use the spray adhesive on the back and put a white piece of material on it to reflect downward light up, paper,plastic ect, take a fine grit sand paper and rough up the top surface to break the internal refraction you should get much better result this way,also printing out a second design and cutting with scissors the part that you really want to light up and layering the two can create a very nice circuitry glow and a higher contrast.

[@GiorgioCapocasa]

Now *this* is a good project! If I didn't have a laptop and were to make this, I would probably add some form of protection for both the LEDs and the computer port (just a 3.3v voltage regulator or a couple of resistors) and perhaps cut another groove for a female USB port to sit in. That way you could use just one cable for both the mouse and the mouse pad (: Anyway, glowing plexiglass looks great; might make something in the near future!

[@ThePraash]

I think kipkay should start a series teaching about various electronic components from the very basic level and explaining how they could be used in small electronics. The subjects would vary from capacitors and microchips to bigger logic contraptions and appliances.

[@hadenhaught425]

you rock kipkay

[@Xxassass1n021xX]

years ahead of its time lmao

[@PENGthing123]

You could ad glass around the sides so it reflects the light to make it even brighter!

[@Whistrash]

This is what I love about kipkay! he gives these instructions on how to make what he just made but about 99% of people won't do it because they don't have the power tools (:

[@profsat5]

Nice! Good ol' kipkay

[@MrSkateRatHere]

I'm re-doing my room right now...I'm definitely including this in my room!

[@TheKaulapanta]

From all the videos, finally a thing that i could actually make

[@jetlorider]

awesome....would of never thought of this.

[@ekamlin]

*sits down with bucket of popcorn*

[@michaelwindsurfer54]

yay another good one!!

[@fool4563]

Hi kipkay! You could improve this by adding use "el" wire. You can find it online for around 6 dollars and use the cutting tool to cut Into the plexiglass a lot more and place the world wire and then use a real mouse pad overtop of that. plug the sub part into your computer and it works really well! I did it myself. You can also do the same thing with a keyboard.

[@14anthony7095]

i wish my annotations would load

[@naezith]

clean work.

[@DHWoolf]

It is very easy to polish the edges with a blowtorch and a soft cotton rag. Apply heat to the edge and then rub it with the rag. Repeat and work your way around the edge. Be careful with the torch, getting it too close will cause the plexiglass to bubble up. A little practice and you will end up with a nice clear smooth finish.

[@DHWoolf]

I do kinda like the satin look though.

[@Grant0818]

Loved the vicious

[@Revenos]

Hey KipKay! I love your videos! always gives me ideas for tones of things...but, would you be able to get a better mic? or maybe mix your sound a different way so it doesn't have all the spikes? Thanks! just curious if you've ever thought about that ;D

[@TheKnuffel123]

This is a looooooong conversation!

[@stephenkid12345]

now thats the best u have done i will defiantly do this

[@HardBaseUnderMySkin]

I want to see your garage ! :D You must feel like a child in candyland in there xD

[@devikeshrawoo5162]

hey could you please show us how to control a rc car with another car remote . (how to change the frequency)

[@varun009]

Put a plain black mouse pad on the bottom and top. You get that cool lit blue trim.

[@1Sub2Trolls2Dead]

KipKay = Smart alien Kip from Futurama.

[@Burro2000s]

Nice idea!

[@Skh0013d]

LMAO! Thanks for the opportunity to show me that adventure! lol....

[@littleboyblu235]

hey kipkay! ive been looking at this project for a while and i was wondering. if you make more grooves in the glass would the light follow that groove?

[@Prence]

That's impressive. I really like that idea. :)

[@GrahamHorgan]

I 100% agree with you. I think more of us would be eager to see his creations if he could make thing`s with more common household stuff and regular garage tools. I actually don`t be that bothered anymore clicking on any new videos of his. Because I won`t even come close to having any of the equipment.

[@adamoneale4396]

wow kipkay, cool new intro

[@ImSupr3m3]

I did mine blue lights and a blue tiger camo picture. Its an amazing build :D

[@kobalov1]

ok this is actualy amazing... going to do one of these :D

[@gabrielus123gabby]

Kipkay is awesome! :D

[@Jesses001]

Great idea. I need a new mouce pad too.

[@zlay1337]

This was cool! :)

[@MrTheEPICman]

I've been watching your vids since I was 5 (im 10 now) keep up the good work :)

[@homersimpsons26]

Already got a "hightech" mouse... Its not just the glide, its also for the censor to pick up a more precise input. The lifetime of the mouse feet is increased as well. Perhaps if you got a special surface on your desk then its not necessary, but if not, it IS good to have a mousepad...

[@jeramii03]

Awesome! Thanks man! =)

[@cornxx3]

That's kickass!!

[@MOATILLO]

looks awesome

[@hibbanzmksyr2033]

looks good i will try it

[@JerotixHD]

you make it all soo easy:P

[@Wizardi1111]

Now this is good.

[@srachko86]

Actually a nice idea for a short project costing me a bit of plexy and few led diodes. However, I have a concern... Due to the highly smooth surface of plexy glass, will it work with a normal optical sensor mouse? I had some trouble allready with my desk finish, just because it's way too shiny, so I got fed up and bought a laser sensor mouse.

[@SwazerHax]

kip, that is the best gaming cpu mod. Awesome!

[@Indymogulfan1302]

Can i use leftover led of my christmas tree or do i need more strong ones

[@bachmed00]

So about this mouse pad isnt it a little to smooth im using a sharkoon darkglider 6000 dpi and im playing on 2400 or 3200 but yeah isnt it possible to strect a thin piece of cloth white or tranperrant so your mouse recognise the underground i tryed it
