A Custom Keyboard Based Off of Serial Experiments Lain

[@hermanstrauss]

Really unique keyboard for a great price imo. I like that the anime reference is subtle, works absolutely standalone even without knowing it.

[@jlee9360]

me an you have a different definition of unique. Regardless that spacebar sounds dead rest of the board sounds good.

[@offbrandbiscuit]

It's not subtle and that's what I like, instead of it being a boring rectangle with some weeb engraving it actually draws design language inspiration from the anime. Only other example I can think of is the Beta60 which had a bit of Evangelion design language

[@hermanstrauss]

​@@jlee9360 I meant to say "unique for **the** price", compared to other ~$200 tofu-like rectangles :). Basically what @offbrandbiscuit said below :D

[@jGRite]

I could never give myself a good enough excuse to get this particular layout, but now....

[@alexossan2829]

OMG Lain! The cult classic from the 4:3 era. Also split backspace, split right shift, split left shift, 6.25u bottom row. This is my preferred layout! Why can't every hotswap PCB support all thes options...

[@yanouzzzz]

i am wondering, what do you use your split left shift for?

[@CatsAkimb0]

This is my favorite anime of all time and was the show that got me into anime as well.

[@aa65064]

Love the Ralph McQuarrie concept art deskmat. This was one of my favorite designs. Still have all the prints in my basements which I once had hung around my office. Will definitely hang them again once I have my own seperate office space again!

Just got into the hobby and have been enjoying it so much-and love your content it's been super helpful. If you're a Lain fan that's even more points in your favor. The community you've built and continue to foster is awesome. Keep up the great content.

[@TheNEpatriotsrule1]

I ended up watching the anime because of this keyboard and I loved it. Shame I didn't do it in time to pick up the keyboard too. Hopefully there will be extras I guess!

[@gianjamandri8373]

omg that deskmat with the design of concept art for Star Wars is SO GOOOOD

[@samvvell]

love the deskmat. I grabbed the star destroyer design. NK is killing it with the collab

[@alexotos]

Dude for real!

[@foggytypes]

this board flew over my head entirely, thanks facebook recommendations. I'll be soon out of 200 bucks.

[@alexotos]

[@airlato74]

Beautiful keyboard👍

[@leonelorellana9068]

Nice video Alex!

[@johnyjoe2k]

I didn't even know it was a matallic finish on the ABS keycaps! Nice to know, might pick them up and only because NK hasn't fucked me over in all the 4 years I've been using them.

[@mimi_teeehee]

this is so cool

[@codewolf444]

The Cyberia mix is a good version of the ost. Imo

[@Redino20]

Duuude I'm really tempted to get Mecha Kaiju for my Lunar Cycle7

[@theDaringidiot]

Love all of your content, Alex! Any chance you, or somebody else, can name the song playing in the background at 8:55?

[@sickosforlife199]

Keep up the awesome work Alex

[@ravkhangurra7522]

[@Jdjdjrb]

Mode tempo video coming?

[@nikewray]

One word change in the name and the community would be different

[@imandrewt]

Did you customize your MX Master cause it looks sick!

[@farlandduck4463]

Just wanted to warn you, Serial Experiments Lain is... not for everyone. it's one of those shows that is highly praised by a very vocal minority. It's one of those pre-2000s anime when there was no standard way to tell a story; for people that find enjoyment in deciphering how the director put their thoughts into an animation. I am not one of those people. If you can enjoy the show I commend you, but if you're just looking for a fun show to watch then Lain will be like walking into an abstract art museum with the lights off and no exhibition labels.

[@offbrandbiscuit]

​@@june_flowerikr, I was like damn that sentence was written 💀

[@foggytypes]

@@june_flower ah yes when anime was good

[@foggytypes]

you must hate evangelion.

[@Rhienfo]

Lain is extremely bizzare but it’s not that hard to understand, more of the subtleties can go unnoticed but that’s a lot of shows. it’s just really well executed I’d highly recommend too. Another thing is that this show touches on very sensitive topics such as suicide and can get unnerving and uncomfortable to watch so just understand before watching it.

[@silly_goofs]

is the anime good?
