Being a content creator on KZbin can be rough... But no mean comments from a bunch of immature frat boys will change the fact that you have a successful channel and a big platform to speak your mind and voice your opinions about the hobby that we all love! And that is exactly what we need: more diversity of people and opinions to make this hobby more welcoming to ALL. Your role in this process has been invaluable!!! Looking forward to much more of your content for years to come!

[@Sibbi.]

I am really sorry to hear that you’ve been getting some hateful comments and I just want to know I’m super new to this hobby and your videos have been so so helpful to me and helped me pick my first keyboard and I really love it and I am glad I found your channel. I was kind of stressed before when I started looking into the hobby because I was so worried about “what was better” and you helped me understand how subjective and up to personal preference it is. And I was able to find something I love. SoI hope you keep doing what you do- I appreciate you!

Betty, It was your channel that really got me into Keyboards. Your content was so welcoming and non judgmental and it was nice to see someone just talking about keyboards and just being themselves. I know the internet can be hard at times, but please don't let it get you down. I've enjoyed watching your channel and seeing all the growth, from seeing improved video editing to just the overall presentation, and It's even given me some courage to maybe start making my own keyboard videos (who knows, I'm still mowing over that idea lol) Please keep it up! I don't usually comment, but after seeing the end of this video, I felt like I needed to say something. I appreciate the hard work you guys put into this channel and the website and how welcoming it is for newcomers. I've got so much respect for you. Sending all the positive vibes your way!

With this keyboard, I find that it got easier for some of my gamer friends to get interested in custom mechanical keyboards. And it happened organically. I didn't even ask them or coerce them to give custom keyboards a try. The brand recognition plus the ease of dipping their toes into the hobby due to the availability of parts from Glorious is a game changer.

[@Sizzler1174]

CONGRATULATIONS BETTY! That definitely took some courage for you to speak out like that, so good for you. All creators go through what you are with people in the comments. I can't count how many channels I am subscribed to that have had the same or similar speech. You have a great channel and there will always be at least that one person in the comments, "we both know there's more," that has to bully or be negative and they make it personal. I know it is easy for me to say just ignore them and move on but we both know that is what you must do which is not easy to do just easy to say. This was as short and to the point I could make this comment so please forgive me Betty and those who also are reading this. Now about the keyboard. I like it and it isn't perfect but Isn't that the point of being customizable so you can make it your own? YES!, it is. I know you will be able to move on and ignore the negative comments and continue to bless your subscribers with your great content. I won't get into the board more extensively in this comment but I do look forward to your next video so keep your chin up Betty. 🤜💥🤛😎

I just don't understand how people can be toxic about keyboards.

[@fmtoussant]

me neither, do u know what was said? what didn't they like about it?

[@zapi4925]

@@fmtoussant The topic in general has a lot of drama surrounding it, which IMO, was caused by Glorious’ marketing. The way they used certain terms like “GOAT Stabilizers” and “Ultra-premium” just didn’t really sit well with a lot of people in the community. Yes, without a doubt, it is a huge step forward to inviting or newcomers into the hobby, but that also means many people might be misled into thinking the GMMK Pro is “top tier” or better than it actually is, which is why Glorious and everyone involved is getting bashed so hard. Unfortunately, some content creators like Betty and Alexotos were caught in the crossfire and received a lot of negative feedback as well. I think that many were just angry about aspects of the GMMK Pro and made them look elitist and toxic. I know that there are actually some people that are elitist and just gatekeep, but I really hope this isn’t the lasting impression of newcomers into the community. As an enthusiast myself, I would love to see newcomers and big companies enter the community and it really sucks that this is the first impression that a lot of people are getting.

[@fmtoussant]

@@zapi4925 I see, sounds to me like all those folks did was project how shitty they are as people lol. A company that calls itself Glorious is of course gonna market their stuff as godly, and there's nothing wrong w/ that within normal bounds of advertising (ie no false ad). In any case, I want to see ergo / split keyboards take off. The human anatomy was not made for a single straight slab of keyboard. Separate pieces should be the norm IMHO.

[@zapi4925]

@@fmtoussant I do agree that many things that were said were very harsh and were uncalled for. As for Glorious' marketing.. well it is what it is hahaha. The board might not be perfect or as good as they make it out to be, but I'm sure that a huge portion of consumers will enjoy the product regardless. Personally, I haven't tried any ergo keyboards because I'm not a huge fan of its aesthetics, but I'll definitely try it out someday.

[@fmtoussant]

@@zapi4925 I see, I think ppl only try ergo when the non-ergos of normal keyboards start taking their toll. The wrists start to feel it sooner or later.

[@migalhas97]

It's been more than a year since I subscribed to your channel and start watching your videos and it is completely noticeable how much effort you have put into the channel and the quality is greater than ever, you were one of the reasons I felt comfortable building my own keyboard, thank you so much and stay safe

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that.

[@nickwhitton6610]

Keep up the good work Berry, watched your videos from way back, can see how much this channel has improved.

[@NealJansen]

geez.. If I'm reading between the lines here, sounds like there's hate coming in from elitists and gatekeepers. Just hope you know that you have viewers that really appreciate the work Jake & yourself put up on the channel and site. Slowly but surely, it's channels like yours that are helping to grow and open up the mechanical keyboard community to more people - and at least to me (and I'm sure many others) that's a great thing. #kipidap #dongibap #theyhateuscoztheyanus

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thank you thank you :)

[@WoollyMittens]

Don't get blind sighted by the haters. There's many more supporting community members out there.

[@clickclackla7225]

Thank you for the wonderful content! I’m excited about this new hobby and grateful that it started with your channel.

[@X-Stacy]

Only ever watched one other video from you but from what I have seen, I absolutely love your content and you're doing great. The real talk section of the video broke my heart. I have never built my own custom keyboard but have been looking more and more into it and your content makes me feel less intimidated by the hobby.

[@kireiidesk]

I just want to say, you have really improved over times on your video. I started mechanical keyboard hobbies, not from looking from elitist on reddit, but starting from the very basic keyboard, which is keychron. Don’t let the elitist toxicity change the great content that you’ve made. I’m pretty sure that there are way more people who enjoys your videos more than the one that hates.

[@ThumberBulls6]

Awww come on, its just KZbin. When people are behind screens on their keyboard, they suddenly forget the person on the internet is actually a person and then all the toxicity and rest arises. That's how the internet is, sad but that's just how it is. Just know that the huge vast majority of us are the opposite of those people. Its just that we don't praise you like that much in the comment section or anywhere cuz we just have normal conversation about the subject of the content unlike haters who go around and repeatedly spam their garbage and usually, the mean stuff stands out from the rest. So just know that we (the majority) are here and reaaally appreciates what you and the other creators do. Don't mind the small petty fishes. Please do more, thanks.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Agreed. The toxic minority is just quite vocal. Normal conversation is definitely preferred :)

[@paniniweeni1022]

been following the channel for a while now, always really enjoy the videos and hope you continue to do what you do. keep your head up ma’am

[@gingus418]

Your videos have been getting better and better. I know that when I watch one, I’m going to get a quality and in-depth overview and breakdown. Keep it up, you’re doing great!

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I appreciate that!

[@aamir1972]

This isn't exactly related to this video but just wanted to say my HHKB Classic came in today that I partly decided on because of your review (got the same colorway actually) and I absolutely love it. Typing on it currently. Thanks for your reviews they're really in depth and comprehensive and I enjoy them a bunch!

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

That is awesome!

[@DaneMurdock]

You know humanity is getting too toxic when a keyboard review has to end with some basic lessons in how to treat people with decency. Thanks for the review though, it was well done.

[@Hochiiiiii]

Loved the last section and really appreciate how you took the time to open up about your feelings! I am just getting into the custom KB hobby and there surely is a ton of bad actors but I am confident that the majority of us are good people looking to help others out.

[@missing409]

Hey Betty! I've been getting into this hobby for a few weeks now, I essentially started watching your videos and you're my favorite channel! Thank you for all of the work and dedication you put into your content!! Much love

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@clarkkonnor]

Thank you for the review! I am sorry that you encountered some of the negativity. As someone that is new to the enthusiast keyboard hobby it is nice to see that there are "off the shelf" kit options that can be had and worked with. Unfortunately it seems that this like many other hobbies is populated by a fair amount of people that want to be gatekeepers. I have been very interested in the GMMK pro personally so this very detailed review was helpful.

[@jasonl.1171]

They call it "white ice" but it honestly look silver to me.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Hence the quotation marks haha

[@jGRite]

Everything is gray.

[@jackson0922]

Looks so much more premium to me

[@JimIsHereAZ]

Exactly, its silver.

[@wolfman12326]

I just recently discovered your channel and I love all of the videos you have done so far that I've watched. I think you are doing a great job and I look forward to seeing the channel grow!

[@alecsutzu007]

I've been thinking of buying the GMMK Pro black version, and your video answered a lot of the questions I had about owning such a keyboard. Thank you.

[@fheathwilliamson]

Thank you Betty. :)

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Thank you to you, actually

[@goldenface8108]

Way to gain a new sub! You said it well but its sad that you had to say it at all. I love the internet but learned a long time ago that it can be bad for your mental health. F the hatters and all the people that egg them on. They are no longer having fun with this hobby and wish that everyone else hated it too.

[@ThatGuy-rp1ly]

thanks for the content, ordered mine in march and still waiting !! damn flex batch.. keep it up subscribed !

[@lawrencetchen]

Betty! The way you make your videos open, inviting, and inclusive is what made me, and so many others brave enough to dip our toe in what can be a pretty intimidating hobby. That's why you're such a special creator in this space and we love you for it! Know that you're doing so much good and that we have your back! Sending much love ~

[@FahimAhmed-xj9lq]

People are really getting mad at her for criticising a keyboard set? I hate to think how rarely they get out of their basements.

[@DoktrDub]

They choose the weirdest hills to die on it seems lol

[@arzeey]

I just bought this keyboard after looking at reviews from other channels. I like the 75% form factor, the hot swappable nature and the fact that I'm very much a newbie to the hobby that I can just buy switches and caps and slowly try and mod it. Didn't know there was such hate for it? It looks great for a beginner board that can cross into enthusiast territory once you open it up and try your own mods.

[@RobbyWonder]

You made a great decision! Again, keebs are subjective! It's all about taste and what you like! I think you made a great decision! I too, also bought a GMMK Pro and LOVE it! I bought some Unicorn switches from Hippokeys and love it even more now! I think that you can make whatever you want - the point is: if it makes you happy, it was the right decision! Great purchase! :D I love my GMMK Pro too!

[@tifosiye]

I could tell in the first part you look a little bit drained, and then the end came out... Your videos have been the most informative and wholesome keyboard videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you for all your work!! Hope more people show their support to you and we outnumber those hateful comments!

[@josephcayao5760]

Thank you for your reviews and tips! Definitely subbed! Because of you, I got into the hobby, and I've customized 2 boards now because of your advice and reviews. Just got my GMMK Pro delivered today and can't wait to start building and modding it. Cheers to you and all of the content you put out!

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@firekevin456789123]

You can kinda tell you weren't enthusiastic about this review just from the tone of your voice, especially comparing it to your other more upbeat videos. I been diving into the custom Mechanical keyboard rabbit hole and I can say that you're one of the channels that I enjoyed watching along with Glarse. I actually looked up on what you had to say about the GMMK Pro because I want a decent but not bank-breaking keyboard and your review was great. People that waste their time being toxic online are small brain. Love your channel and videos, always happy to see more Asians representation everywhere.
