[@jigzaw4595]

the video is 60% of hamaji pouring water on the keyboard and 40% of the actual video lmfao

[@parispc]

So I have one of those 60% hotswap keyboards, very similar to sound and attributes of the $75 keyboard he showed off in this video. He mentioned that with an extra $50 you could make the keyboard a lot better, what specifically would I spend the $50 on then? Also my spacebar has the same exact thing as shown at 8:27 where it will only produce a nice sound when pressed in certain spots, how could I fix that?

[@neoperol]

Nice take. But something nice would be to do this for every type of layout, Full Size, 75%, 60%.
