Wow, my first thought is that people with disabilities might be able to better access typing/gaming with this type of keyboard. Very cool!

[@QuietNerd]

Very true!

[@VIDEO_PRODUCTION_INK]

​@@QuietNerd dude please plss make me one

[@sanjicook08]

I really love this idea!! This would make me feel a lot better about myself if I were disabled!

[@rosstee]

@@sanjicook08 Not sure if trolling or just a dick, maybe both?

[@Bardeviousisbest]

And my first thought was that your a inconsiderate, insufferable, person who have respect for anyone. @@sanjicook08

[@Yuskei1]

What a fun idea! The solution for adding multiple buttons for the space bar is really clever. That wiring looks like it was an absolute nightmare to do 😅

[@QuietNerd]

It was a lot of wiring lol but if you take it one at a time its not that bad - Cheers!

[@JBF-GST-Tanda]

Use two mushroom buttons for spacebar, an industrial switch-based joystick for arrow keys, and an E-stop switch with its latch removed for escape key.

[@cgwworldministries83]

Now I want one! But I would build it into a desk.

[@QuietNerd]

That be cool

[@100Bucks]

The only 2 programs you need for arcade use. Xoutput for xinput and world of joysticks for xinput to keyboard. Play everything no matter what.

[@Llamabotomy]

"Wood Fluff" Man, I love your choice of vocabulary!

[@sosababy1016]

Ideas like this keep my faith in humanity alive

[@Ojisan642]

After seeing you game with it, I’m thinking the addition of a trackball would be perfect. A slightly wider box, with room on the right to add 2 or 3 more buttons along with an arcade style trackball, and maybe even an arcade scroll wheel, this thing could have both the keyboard and mouse functionality in the same unit! Or instead of a wider box, an add-on that could be removable, with the trackball and buttons.

[@firtee_adorabold]

If ever there was a build idea specfically for me to love lol

[@rosstee]

This was a cool project but I couldn't help thinking you could have used 24mm arcade buttons rather than 30mm? The whole keyboard would be a little less chonky but quite a lot more usable!

[@theluckylux]

As someone who's built so many fightsticks, this is so cool. I might have to do this now with some Sanwa buttons

[@oleg..]

Definitely unorthodox practices. Absolute madlad =D

[@alistairknightsly440]

this is great i turned a keyboard into a arcade pad, was kind of similar process, i will say if you ever do a project like this in the future i would recommend 24mm sanwa buttons

[@NFiniteCombos]

Surprised you didn't go for Gamer Finger buttons. They're literal keyboard switches but also arcade buttons. That way they last. Suzo Happ is extremely bulky and you could've made a super small enclosure instead of a pirates chest. You also could've used clear button tops and then make it flush with the buttons so that you're not touching label making adhesive paper and just the button. You could've color coded them as well as make full on images. You also could've used a neutrik to make it more flush for the usb

[@seikatsushi4595]

How am I just now finding you! Keep up the great content homie

[@QuietNerd]

Thank you! and will do! Cheers!

[@Nick-Matchem]

Amazing work Broseph ! Looks really well made !!!

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks - Cheers!

[@payback2565]

Wow it's keyboard for his yellow trailer look good when he fits it

[@ChristianRocker]

Thats awesome! Would have been cool to see you do special colors for WASD though

[@briangardner7664]

Man this is super badass!!! Key boards for the elderly lol

[@QuietNerd]

Yea lol I though about that as well

[@spoonmanxx]

Man I love your builds

[@QuietNerd]

I'm glad you enjoy :D - Cheers!

[@Imurge]

you should of added a turbo feature so all the keys can be on turbo mode especially for gaming

[@christopherfidler3019]

Ideas for v2.0 create a new lid with a bevel (ramp) for your wrists, you could hot glue some foam for a wrist rest. roll all the edges of the lid down with sandpaper and a rasp. add a Joystiq for arcade games.

[@anon_y_mousse]

You're definitely not the only one to want to do that, but you might be the first to have had the guts, determination and patience.

[@wafflebroz]

I have some Sanwa buttons and an old Hitbox that I wanted to build onto a keyboard board. Thanks for showing me this is possible!

[@wafflebroz]

Sadly the inside of the keyboard I got does not look like this and I cannot make the proper type of connection

[@nikisnyder1111]

What a funky idea!

[@donwright3427]

Hyper Olympics. Shred the keys dude

[@schrebra]

I love it. I can see someone making money off this idea. Super unique original idea. Should be in shorts form and it will easily make a million views

[@Connor_2005]

1:12 I totally herd table salt

[@golDroger88]

This is some work.

[@QuietNerd]

:D

[@Eddylive]

That is ridiculously cool!

[@c.powell]

You're amazing at these builds man!

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks! - Cheers!

[@ENNEN420]

bro didn't even use sanwas, crowns or gamerfingers this is pure masochism

[@LeviAva]

All you need now is a joystick mouse

[@TubeeNviouss]

this is pretty sweet. great video!!

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks!

[@benjamintaylor9799]

I would buy one of those

[@davecnc]

Cool idea! Good job on the build.

[@QuietNerd]

Thanks!

Happy New Year ! Absolutely genius ! You are such an inspiration .

1:16 so you can go ahead and cut what? Wow, that must have been your test of patience

[@zardybejetstreamsam7875]

this keyboard would be cool for rhythm games

[@UrbCrafter]

Too Cool...

[@biologicalsubwoofer]

Very cool!

[@dalaca1377]

mans you doing infinite combos than typing a long essay

[@protogen-posting]

what wires did you get for this? i was thinking of building my own.

[@Browniedays]

You created the ultimate hitbox, imagine taking that to an EVO and everybody staring at you because of that massive controller you have and carrying it around on your back.

[@andreheinz1942]

My friend needs this in his life, he has BIG hands

[@oeheaven]

Awesome video. I learned a lot about wiring and circuits. You did a great job soldering when I took beginning engineering we had a sodering project and well let's just say I put way too much solder on things and ruined it. Not the best outcome but you got to learn somehow.

[@stevemansfield8875]

Hi mate, great build 👏👏 What make is the pink keyboard you used for the build, where you got it. Thanks 🇬🇧

[@SmithBeatZ1]

How did Hulk like his giant keyboard?

I would appreciate an ASMR video with this keyboard.

this is insane but 999IQ build

[@lord_akimbo6735]

Imagine playing Typing of the Dead on this thing!

[@stampedetrail2003]

I want a keyboard that has common windows key combinations as single keys, like cut, copy, paste, save, screenshot. It's weird that in 2024 we have to remember control-c, control-v, etc just to perform everyday computer tasks in windows.

[@lisamcdanell3789]

yes

[@sorafromgenshin]

OMG SOMEONE FINALLY DID IT

[@sorafromgenshin]

this going to the best rhythm game keyboard

[@robind7926]

WOWZA!!

[@QuietNerd]

:D

[@garystinten9339]

Is there a device that would be able to treat every key as a separate Bluetooth device so you could simply run power to each button and have the on/off transmitted via Bluetooth to a controller that is also Bluetooth to a PC? Would save a lot of time wiring and only need power to be wired.

[@derekm30]

Awesome video!

[@GameNerd423]

Make a custom mouse now!

[@kevinnava822]

I want an arcade macropad 😂

[@susanmcmaster7894]

Really cool

[@QuietNerd]

lol

[@jefferyleaver2847]

Im gonna attempt this but im thinking of drilling the holes at a angle so the buttons feel right ill also use square buttons and rectangle for space bar

It would be cool if you made it flush to the desk

Introducing the hurt box

[@Anatanomerodi]

This is amazing, I really liked the idea, the process and the whole concept in general. Think you'll ever be interested in making a smaller/ortho version of this?

[@afaelr]

I will just drill my table hahahahaha

[@MrWeedCat7070]

This would be way too expensive for me to build without a salvage. I'd have to import this stuff.

[@navirobayo]

So interesting

[@PolySwitchOfficial]

Anyone know of any coin doors i could solder to a key on a keyboard? Im new to soldering and not sure if a coin door works the same way

[@Henrys12341]

Nah you should have made the attorney keys a joystick 🕹 That would have been cool. But anyways it us really cool

[@Andriyapps]

how did u do all this its amazing

could this be used for speedrunners? i think it could
