✅ BUILD SPECS:
Keyboard: Kepler65

[@ryanwatson4992]

Do you prefer the mx2a over the Hyperglide?

[@alexotos]

@@ryanwatson4992 Very much so! They felt less thin

[@raythekid_]

did amazing, Al!

[@ericseguin2421]

What size films did you use?

[@mediumlyhotcoco]

⁠I have a qk60 and I’ve tried everything to make the stabs stop ticking but it just won’t…right now I am buying a new keycap set for a new build but also to check if that is the issue…if anybody has any tips that’d be great.

[@Extra_ChrisB]

I love seeing how legacy boards like this can still hang with modern boards even after all these years. Excellent build.

[@polynotgone8349]

good keyboards stay good!

[@tendieman69]

I find legacy boards sounds a lot more unique and better than most modern one. I personally own 2 Kepler TKL board because the acoustic just outstanding compare to every other board these days.

Anyone know where to buy the "blue fork" that Alex is using? Thanks!

[@supaicyboi]

I recently ran out of 205g0 and picked up some carbon GS2. It should be more popular than it is. I really like it.

[@noshut]

What are the keycaps? Love how poppy the red is

[@Waipuuu]

First!

[@Ezz0Clan]

Man this looks fucking great. I'm still in the look out for something like this that would fit Wooting 60HE+ pcb/board in it. Bought Sanctuary Rebirth years back and when Diablo 4 came out, I got the Steelseries official artisan for Diablo 4 from Dwarf Factory. Kinda at the point where I just wanna get the build over with but... Been staying persistent lmao.

[@actualglacier]

damn, haven't seen a kepler in a while. sick board and video

[@asterisk4424]

It's kinda funny. After building tens of keyboards with a bunch of different switches I decided to try lubed and filmed hyperglide browns on a MKC75 and it's damn near endgame for me. You really do just end up coming back to cherry lol.

[@ericseguin2421]

Someone’s gotta make a proper mx2a vs hyperglides video, I hear so many mixed opinions

[@DirtyGingy]

sandwich mount is pretty peak

[@hrwells9698]

Out of my Four keyboards, this is my fave, Running Holy Pandas with GMK Dualshot

[@EuphoriaActual]

Yo we need more forged carbon boards. I have been looking at forged carbon backplates but a full board looks even better.

[@rayhustles1876]

dayum that sounds schmick, gotta give mx2a x gs2 a go!

[@nucket_]

sounds amazing. this one's going in the playlist

[@springpocket6941]

How much does one usually pay to get their boards built by a streamer?

[@alexotos]

@@springpocket6941 I charge 50 dollars for assembly, soldering and stabilizer modding. And then rates vary for switches

[@springpocket6941]

@@alexotos o nice, and do all these boards get streamed? Or do you select unique ones only?

[@amongus2634]

​@@springpocket6941All of them unless the commissioner says no

[@EricZhang-qj4um]

Hi Alex, love seeing these amazing builds! I'm thinking of starting a small keyboard business, and was wondering how much you usually charge as a service fee? Just to get a rough idea of what someone super experienced might charge, etc.

[@alexotos]

@@EricZhang-qj4um all my prices I charge are on my website! But typically around 50 dollars for the assembly, lubing of stabilizers and soldering

[@ifteykharulislam]

I thought it’s carbon fiber

[@AlexanderMedeotAlexotos]

It is! I didn't know all the deets of the build itself it's a bit of an older board that I didn't quite remember too well

[@iTzBeNjI1]

It is forged carbon

[@AlexUribe-kb7xk]

It’s forged carbon!
