I Didn't Mod This Keychron Keyboard.

[@TheMacAttacc]

Glad to see you back! Missed watching your content.

[@coleydotmp4]

Thanks for your patience

[@CheeseManFuu]

It's worth mentioning that Keychron does sell a lot of enthusiast-tier switches, including Inks and Box Inks, Aliaz, CJs, Oil Kings, multiple variants of original Gaterons (including yellows), a lot of weird Kailh variants, and normal stem Kailhs which are oddly difficult to find over BOX Kailhs. Along with some cheap but acceptable keycaps in Cherry and OEM profile, you can easily just go barebones and get those all in one package from Keychron themselves. Even a lubing package if you really wanted to. They surprisingly have it all.

[@jedijunia563]

awesome video! It's awesome to see how far keychron is going to make everything more accessible but better switches are a must. I really love this layout, i need to get it soon

[@Shroompled]

Awesome vid! Those honeycombs sound niiiice. Also the floss at the end was funny 😂

[@drinkmorewater3212]

I like that akko and keychron are making the alice layout more accessible but i hate the fact that they don't have a split spacebar option for them

[@setup.lucido]

i just love this video, all infos needed besides its duration, i still pray for similar videos like this one in brazil, which is really hard accessible mainly for the shipping difficulty, tysm for your content

[@Dedman_Tech]

First off, loved this video and your personality - kinda reminds me of Hipyo Tech in a way! Second, not sure if I want to get a Q10 mainly because I wanted to get a case that was slightly more colorful, but I suppose that is what colorful keycaps are for! Any-who, great work! Excited to see more videos!

[@jay_b..]

How does this compare to the Keycron k11 low profile natural Alice type keyboard? thank you.

[@Dah-too]

Keychrom is actually starting to include Kailh and other gateron switch options on the earlier Q series boards

[@Amiro05]

This video slaps! Great work coley :)

[@Aforgamon]

There is actually a custom/kit board with a similar layout in "interest check" called the Calice. There's also an "open source" 75% Alice called the Adelheid. I don't think either of them have a knob.

[@thestreamreader]

Why no more videos?

[@p5eudo883]

Keychron is amazing. That's a great board. And I like your modified version of it. It's not a colorway I would have tried. But it looks great!

[@PushparajParab-aka-JUDE-]

no more keyboard videos :(

[@justinhong7638]

I have your Coley switches on pre-order and I've been waiting for the Honeycombs for so longggg

[@duckves]

what's gonna be your next keyboard to showcase/review? any from the recent group buys??

[@noshut]

When new video??

[@Turboards]

the return of a legend 🫡

[@MrUigobb]

Ummmm,the peak of the audio in the voiceover …

[@coleydotmp4]

yeah im having mic issues, sorry

[@suluturnip]

it’s weird that this is essentially a keyboard channel, but the audio is extremely borked. especially since half of keyboard channels are usually sound tests.

[@coleydotmp4]

the glitch was in live effects while recording in OBS. when i do sound tests, i turn off all effects. Something in my effects is causing the splitting, but i can 10000% confirm that none of my sound tests are effected. I record on a AT 2020.

[@AlvaTheSpurned]

What’s your opinion on the Stabbers vs Stabbies? Do you have one you like better?

[@placeholder3863]

[@SkimoStories]

where did you go?!

[@coleydotmp4]

youtube burnt me out :( plus other life things. I'll be back sometime this year hopefully but as of now im on hiatus. thanks for asking though

[@SkimoStories]

@@coleydotmp4 oh, okay! Love your vids but definitely take the time to rest up. Can’t wait for you to start uploading again! No rush!

[@25MBs]

Glad to see you’re alive

[@25MBs]

Also, one thing I recommend for keychron boards is to do your own force break mod. (With like 2 layers of masking tape around the screw holes) Keychron has their own force break mod with their pads but when you screw the case together they’re squished together which kinda defeats the purpose of the force break mod.

[@coleydotmp4]

I've been alive haha, join my discord!

[@mdada11]

Awesome vid! Do you know where you got that storage thing in the background?

[@anotherrandomchannel5206]

YES! a new Coley video!!!!!

[@reehan6265]

Loved the video! I just had a quick question, what is the name of the key cap set you have on the white keyboard around the 0:28 mark (the one with the colorful bottom row accents)?

[@RandomGuy-tc2yf]

its now harder to distinguish high end board to mid tier. any notable difference? what is a high end board now?

[@coleydotmp4]

a high end board will have better materials, better manufacturing, ideally a more unique design (boards at the lower price range tend to play it safe), a more refined sound signature, maybe an expensive gimmick like an LCD screen, absolutely better plate options/manufacturing, and an overall higher level of quality. There is still a difference between this kind of board and a $250+ keyboard. In the same price range, I would say the QK series boards are better feeling and sounding than this, but what this one offers is an incredibly unique layout and solid quality for a decent price. So, no this board is not top tier in quality, but it absolutely hits the marks it needs to, especially if this layout speaks to you.

[@dannyzoomer]

what do you use as storage for your switches?

[@eliasvaly2273]

This board sounds really nice! How much hollowness/pinging do you hear in real life?

[@notcaught]

I’m buyin the Q10 for christmas fr, I really fw the keycaps u used in the video so I just wanted to ask on what website u got them? U really made that keyboard sound amazing and Imma cop the honeycomb switches too ongod.

[@horseypeeps5382]

Do you know when your linear switches will be back in stock?

[@stinky5628]

Should review some gateron baby raccoons!

[@inspire1ove]

did you do any force break mod or is the case ping pretty minimal in the q10 pro?

[@coleydotmp4]

they have force break pads already in there, but its worth adding some extra to completely eliminate the ping. These days though, my daily driver ergo board is a weikav record alice. look into it, you may like it more.

[@inspire1ove]

@@coleydotmp4 hey thanks for the recommendation. I've seen that board and its a really good deal, but im looking for a 75% alice board.

[@siniganggang96]

would a tkl fit this? goddamn this layout looks soooo good

[@coleydotmp4]

there are ergo boards that have the full right cluster that a TKL has, there aren't many of them, but they exist. This might be the closest in terms of having enough programmable keys on the left and right,. you could set it up to have the functionality of a full TKL + it has the f keys. Up to you though, this board is probably the easiest to get your hands on that is close to what you're asking for. Long winded answer to a simple question, haha.

[@_ExTitus]

I'll be getting mine soon but I think I'll be removing the rubber material pads for their force break. Keychron not making gateron yellows available for their Q series is something I find quite strange to this day

[@coleydotmp4]

fully agree. everyone would pick them, especially if they were the pro milky top + black bottoms.

[@TofuTypes]

[@Dancers_]

do you know where i can find split spacebar keycaps? or if i can use other keys instead of the split spacebar like shift or something? because im kinda lost rn edit: also preferably any european shops if you know any

[@coleydotmp4]

GMK/other keycaps spacebar kits. It will be a kit of solely spacebars that should cover your needs. These keycaps (NK Taro) had the spacebars I needed included, so i would just make sure there are split spacebars included in the kits you buy. all of the Novelkeys PBT sets will cover this board, for example.

I don't even game, but I like your keyboard

[@dalarcoin6851]

Modern Stabs really only need 205g0 to be perfect. Factory lubes are already enough nowadays. Pe foam and Tape mods have been done to death and already come included with most modern boards. I'd be curious to see what you and other content creators come up with for content going forward because everything seems pretty much good to go out of the box or close.

[@coleydotmp4]

Fully agree. This has been a huge issue amongst keyboard youtubers - how do we keep it interesting? Many creators like glarses and squashy have had a lot of success by making keyboard for big creators outside of the space, but for smaller channels, that's not really a viable option. While i play up the crisis in this video for laughs, it is a serious issue :/ There is still innovation in keyboard content like Avi and others, but for the most part, its hard to find interesting things to do outside of reviews and modding. The last few months most of my videos have been about either really weird keyboards, custom paint jobs, or products I at least find interesting for some reason or another.

[@coleydotmp4]

**and reviews and modding videos are not doing as well as they did 1-2 years ago. so yeah, this is an interesting time to be a keyboard youtuber. lol

i guess my taste is absolute trash because i kind of like keychron's stock keycaps LOL

[@aarontimm]

I like how they look but only on their enthusiast keyboards (Q, V, K pro series) The color way is simple but nice 👍

[@liquidsnake6879]

They don't get it, some of us WANT to mod the damn things, stop modding them for us Keychron... seriously people can't have hobbies nowadays. In all seriousness i'd appreciate if they sold the parts separate for cheaper

[@coleydotmp4]

Interesting take - i think the keychron boards are more for casual mechanical keyboard fans. if you want to do heavy modding, i would look at other companies that make custom enthusiast boards. there's typically a solid baseline of quality, where you can mod if you want specific sounds or feel. keychron kinda HAS to implement these mods, because without them, the board's baseline is not so great and they would get bad reviews. Does that make sense? its just my theory of why its like this. but yeah i'd check out some other boards. if you're cool with losing the f row, i really fuck with the weikav record alice, good price + needs some mods to sound good and is very adjustable, definitely put some work into the board to get mine sounding great beyond just putting in keycaps and switches. i like it a ton

[@wangelite5279]

keycaps look like a clone of rama kate keycaps

[@coleydotmp4]

i mean, there's always been rounded profiles and the stock keychron keycaps arent the same profile or color. so i don't think it's fair to call them clones. they still suck though haha.

[@PaulSebastianM]
