He's said before that he doesn't mind the way rhotic speakers say it, so you can pronounce it whichever way you like. I occasionally write it like "Glahsses" just for fun

I actually find it nice that it has a full case rather than a "floating switch design". The casing doesn't seem half bad either as a foundation. Epoxying a few thin sheets of steel should make it MUCH nicer than stock, like stiffer and heavier. Feel of quality is more important than actual quality, right? But i guess sil-pour works too.

[@jm036]

The casing is crap, it's just plastic. I think the Redragon K552 I have sometimes goes for as little as $30 and that has a fairly thick metal plate, it also has the exact same PCB and keycaps as this board.

i had a similar issue with my tecware keyboard! the sockets were designed more for thinner pins like outemu switches but i found a hack by clipping the outer pin to a sharp pointy end using a nail clipper which helped a lot because previously it won’t even fit and even broke 2 switches (gateron yellow)

[@machinaeZER0]

Final board sounds really good, nice job!

[@clintonleonard5187]

I have to say, that silicon o-ring "gasket mount" mod is absolutely clutch for tray mounted keyboards. HUGE difference. Another really good mod, which you could have done, is to put keycap O-rings on when you use high profile keycaps. It doesn't change the feel of bottoming out if you use a single o-ring, but it makes the bottom out sound quieter because there is less reverberation in the plastic.

[@gearsgamer7115]

In my case, o rings under the keycaps makes it super mushy and way higher pitched.not worth it

[@burgerboy3005]

3:39 I know that feeling, Outemu hot sockets are the worst sockets in the keyboard kingdom! They have a death grip on switches, making it hard to remove them without destroying part of the switch, and they're almost proprietary! They only work with Outemu, Gazzew, Akko, and Lcet switches. (Maybe more than that) (You need to cut the legs off some of the switches that fall under that umbrella to make them fit in the sockets) I know that A good amount of keyfeels fall under that umbrella, and you can trim the pins and take the legs off on some other switches to make them work, but you might not want to put up with that in the first place.

Keep doing what you do! As a beginner to the whole mechanical keyboard hobby . . . I really really really look forward to your videos! Now for all my questions( sorry for so many!) 1) I was looking at your latest . .Niz Plum deepest thock video . . .I was wondering, if there are mechanical keyboard sets for someone on a budget that are similar to that in terms of sound profile? 2) Also, do you have like videos that describe your top 10 favorite keycaps? and for desk-mats? 3) Finally, keyboard maintenance . . .which keyboards are backpack friendly? Which keycaps can take a lot of abuse? Cause a lot of stuff can get in them over time . . .are there tips/tricks that you have for keeping them clean longer? and keeping them functioning the same . . .maybe a year later?

Hi, since my actual keyboard is starting to die, i've been watching a lot of keyboard review ( especially from yours ) i've been searching for 2 weeks for the perfect 65% RBG keyboard for either typing and gaming (preferably wireless) and this were it all begins... There was couple of keyboards that i want your help : Ducky one 2 SF or the Keychron K6 Backlight (both on either MX Red, Red Silent or Brown) ? The main problem here is as a French i need an FR Azerty Layout but it seems impossible to see good looking FR layout that isn't sold out. So i was wondering is there a way to buy french layout that fit for those keyboard ??

[@mrpanda2905]

I'm not entirely sure what that is however several boards have something called via compatibility meaning you can change key functions with software

[@stevensalas7565]

I have a Keychron K6 keyboard. I'd say it is a pretty good keyboard from my experience. The only thing i would say is inconvinient from this keyboard is its ABS keycaps, but that will be easy to solve if you have a bigger budget to replace them

Funny thing is, I bought this same exact keyboard (but with red switches) so I was really interested to hear the final result. Let’s just say I want to mod my keyboard now…..

[@ScoptOriginal]

Funny enough, I just modded an E-yooso keyboard this morning as my first mod (a typewriter-style board was what I started with) and I actually really love the Outremu Blues it came with, they took what I loved about the MX Blues and beefed it up. Even better though were the stabs. Instead of having a bar to keep the keycaps level, it has a false switch on either side of the actual switch. It has zero wobble or rattle

[@renneruYT]

Good luck changing them every year

[@nemilu]

@@renneruYT true. I had four different keyboards with Outemu switches (all four types) and there was a reason I bought four of them… They all broke within a couple of months

[@techguy9023]

Anyone remember when IBM keyboards ( like 5150 original pc)?used Cherry keyswitches and cost about $350? I hope the designers who created the TRS 80 Model II keyboard with the foam and tinfoil got a raise for the elegant junk it was. How did it ever work? They survived more that I expected they could. Spill coffee in it, dry it out, clean the pcb traces with alcohol and it just worked.

[@danieldimitri6133]

I remember the buckling springs in the model f and model m keyboards. The f was more compact and i think the spring lever mech acted on an electrocapacitive element on the pcb. The model m came later and set the standard for keyboard layout but the buckling spring actuated a normal membrane. I never typed on a model f but supposedly it was higher quality than the model m but the early model m seems to be very well built regardless. Maybe they got lighter and more plastic over the years but the one i have from 1989 with a ps/2 cable is heavy and doesn't seem to lack steel parts inside.

Plz review Akko CS switches as as budget switch. They are very cheap and they sound and feel better than Gateron Yellows (In my opinion). I have an rk61 which I modded heavily and hotswapped the switches for akko cs rose reds and they are very unknown, and I think they are great and I want to get your opinion on them for they are very cheap (10$ for 45 switches). If you do review these switches, there are a lot but the ones I am talking about are the Akko CS Rose Reds, the Akko CS Matcha Greens, and the Akko CS Ocean Blues. They all are great and feel and sound amazing from what I have heard, but the only ones that I have tested personally are the rose reds.
