Building the GMK67

Key notes I forgot post-edit
- When I bought this variation of Kaiju keycaps I didn't see the 'む' key being orange at all which kind of disappointed me so I apologize if that key stands out/bothers you throughout the video, after working with it for a while I didn't really care anymore.
- This GMK67 is probaby outdated since I bought it a year ago and just neve really looked at it until I started filming, I've see some more newer models of it though which look nice.
- I also apologize for the super cuts. Since it's been practically 2 years since I built/modded a keyboard, I got pretty rusty at filming/modding in general, so I've gotten hella lazy with it.
- Modded sound is definitely deeper in person, no clue why my microphone just sucks at picking it up.. It sounds more higher pitched to some degree.
Overall, I'm satistfied with this build for what I could remember at least. But I've slowly been kicking the bucket from the keyboard scene since it's a pretty expensive hobby to work with, but also I feel there's not really a lot of customization that is truly available as you can see here, the Kaiju keycaps were probably the closest set I could find that worked well with Hoshiguma that I knew of like a year or two ago.

yoooo that looks awesome!! Love the color scheme and it sounds great O.o

[@aceunknown24]

AK and custom keyboards? now thats a surprising combo. Maybe I should do smth similar for a kiana theme keyboard, but having gmks on a plastic board feels a bit wrong lol. personally searching for an aluminum board myself. either way, great work!

[@kozai]

Thanks! I agree it does feel a bit odd, but since it was just a knockoff set I didn’t really care much. I also haven’t been caught up with the keyboard scene for a while now but I believe the GMK67 has gotten an aluminum variant recently if you want to check that out

​@@kozaiah yeah, i am very well aware of the alu variant. Personally am new to the hobby myself, but i do wanna make a keyboard thats a mainstay for me. Dunno how messy it may be if I try to spray paint on a alu case lmao. Maybe best case is for me is to find a way to imprint a custom logo.

[@kozai]

@@aceunknown24 I guess if you're going to engrave it, lasering/cnc'ing will do it but you'd probs have to commission someone if you don't have the equipment. But yeh fs I get wanting something to just be your main piece, the keyboards I've built on my channel I try to keep 'em unique and give them personalized looks as best I can. Of course they're not my mains so to speak but one day I'll build something like that, but I guess it just feels better as a personal projects cause it's fun making themed kbs. Idk where I'm getting at tbh lol but yea, anyways spray painting with alu is a special case iirc, you're probs gonna need some etching primer or smth like that I think but it should still work the same way as spray painting anything else so I wouldn't worry too much. Of course you could always just find an alu kb with a specific colorway which a lot of brands seem to have them now but I'm just talkin under the assumption you want to personalize it yourself coming from someone who just did that themselves. Wishin you the best of luck with your build man, I def wanna see it someday :D

[@aceunknown24]

​@@kozaiahhh thanks for the heads up about the paint. Yeah I feel u on wanting to have a main board too. As much as I wanna indulge in making more projects like these, its an expensive hobby so its prob smth I do on rare occasions. Also yeah, who knows? Maybe once I find my ideal board to modify way down the road, i'll notify you. Its gonna take a long while tho

[@naokotomoe]

Youre underrated ah

[@kozai]

Thanks man I appreciate it! Also thanks for the opus tune guide thingy, I didn't do the event until like the last day at the time and was so confused on how to do it, but dam I'm surprised to see you here LOL

[@naokotomoe]
