So jelly of your video quality. I think the community has needed a video like this for a long time. Very concise for a lot of the new people joining.

[@gregtv1467]

True I relatively recently joined and it was so insanely hard to get started. We need more videos like this to bring custum mechanical keyboards to the mainstream, just like custom PC's.

yeah bro we dont care

[@Zeraphor]

Yes, please! YES! I hope you keep this series up and keep it as informative as possible for beginners to this hobby. It's a steep learning curve with all the abbreviations, different build types (i.e. casket mount) and ways to buy certain parts (group buy).

[@existentialmoron6334]

Thank you. I'll be getting a mechanical keyboard soon and finding beginner friendly videos has been extremely hard frustrating. Your video stands out as the only thorough and beginner friendly video I could find.

Beautiful! Thanks for the thorough and simplistic rundown. The mech keyboard universe is in dire need of beginner's material, and this has everything someone would need to get started. This is the manual for anyone who is looking to get into the hobby. THANK YOU!!

Great video, best one for beginners out there! Thanks for making this Nate :)

Mannn I wish taeha uploaded on KZbin more, this is great! On a side note, my glorious pandas just came in, and my banana split switches are coming tomorrow!

[@gh0stgam1ng11]

I think this is the only video that gives a beautiful idea about this hobby and how to get start with it..I haven’t seen one explaining this easily ..

[@grabbestei]

You really do be standing at the front of the Keyboard cummunity showing the world how it goes

[@rillystar]

Oh my gosh! KZbin why did you not suggest this video when I was searching for beginner's guides a week ago. This is so clear and concise! So many other videos assume you already know a bunch about this field. Thanks so much for the great video! I've joined the Discord now :) excited to learn more!

[@cxde6846]

Thank you so much for this video I wanted to build my keyboard but didn’t want to solder but know I know I don’t have to do that if I get a hot swap pcb

anyone know what jacket he's wearing? asking for a friend

[@karta7231]

Following! He looks great with that jacket!!!

[@kaustavkapur5532]

Although I will never get into building mechanical keyboards as it is too expensive and my dad won't buy me, this looks extremely fun like building pcs. Seriously, Taeha did such a good job with the video, he needs at least couple million (emphasis on at least) to do justice for how explanatory his videos are and the amount of time he puts into them.

2:30 PCB isn't really a brain it's more of a neural system while microcontroller does all of the heavy lifting.

[@indigowhisper]

This is amazing! Thank you so much, I love your other vids too. This one just confirms what I've managed to piece together over the last year, haha. I've already just purchased a hotswappable and some extra switch types. What would be great for future concise videos like this would be: how to source less expensive than GMK but still quality keycaps, tools for modding, and how to navigate group buys. These are my next steps. Also I'm glad this is a safe space to talk about lube, sans judgement.

I have to say I LOVE the effort put in to the animations! They are crisp and clean! But the only thing that I would add is that you stick to a maximum of 3 colors. (the light red & silverwhite combo is fire)
