Quiming M0654 keyboard review (Kailh Choc - kinda)

Skip to 2:34 for a typing demonstration.
Today we look at a rather temperamental custom keyboard I made out of a parts kit from a Chinese company called Quiming, namely the M0654. I got it off Amazon for a few dollars and today I present you the results!

It _would_ be a _keyboard for ants_ if I left one on my desk overnight

[@ClayMann]

I saw a giant chocolate bar on the road as a kid on a hot day. I knew it was wrong but I picked it up to see if i could salvage some of it like the disgusting beast that I am. To my horror ants were all over it so I dropped it and sat down to mourn the loss of a giant bar of chocolate I couldn't eat. But I discovered something amazing. A single line of ants were going back and forth to the bar and I'd never seen this before. They were carrying little bits of it somewhere and that made my day. I'd discovered ant intelligence.

[@Scio_]

Antelligence, if you will :]

[@BoloH.]

Aww yiss the new Kailh Chocs

[@xomm]

Kailh Choc Micro 😊

[@geografiainfinitului]

2:58 I think he ate the camera too

[@NatalieT505]

This is the sweetest little keyboard I've seen, bar none. So cute it makes one melt. No chance of a Cherry variant in future ?

[@ClayMann]

I see what you did there

[@Chyrosran22]

Have a like, madam xD .

[@conundrum2u]

The last 6 minutes of the video are honestly the best work you've ever done.

[@legend131000]

This is byfar my fav April Fools video you've done and I've been following for the past 5 years or so. Loved it, keep up the good work.

[@Chyrosran22]

Haha cheers mate xD . I try to keep the tradition going!

[@dans.8198]

@3:00 The digestion test was filmed with insufficient stomach lighting.

[@ClayMann]

it all got a bit dark for me on the tail end of the video. I like things a little twisted but I needed someone to hold my hand through that.

[@infango]

8:12 best moment !

[@Arae_1]

Everywhere I go I see this number

[@ian1231100]

😮😅😅​@@Arae_1

[@tashagodspell]

my favourite part is at 5:55 been rewatching it multiple times just for that

[@ash36230]

I assume it comes with sticky keys pre-enabled

[@oggilein1]

ergonomic kb fans will be all over this, the revolutionary all-chocolate design lends itself very well to split keyboard layouts I've heard

[@drigozx]

i love the 5 minutes of silence

[@JanPospisilArt]

Nice that it comes in ISO.

[@jumpjetcaptain495]

Perfect April Fools keyboard review!

[@XanthinZarda]

For those of you lucky enough to have a local Chocolatier in your area, you may be able to get a chocolate keyboard of your own, and with commercial grade quality, at that! Okay, so maybe you're not me, and don't live somewhere with three separate chocolate stores in driving distance.

[@jssmith0225]

Usually when I see some of your videos, it takes me a while to get around to buying one of them but this one looks awesome enough I might just look and buy one today

[@bewilderbeestie]

The layout is odd --- it seems to be ISO, but it's missing the |\ key between left shift and Z, even though it has the #~ key to the left of ENTER. Is this one of the odder Japanese or Chinese layouts?

[@grproteus]

excellent review, will consider buying.

[@thethriftyfawn]

Absolutely precious! 😍

[@AndyK.1]

Glad to see it’s full sized. Well has all the keys I mean

[@woldemunster9244]

Salty chocolate balls.

[@thexenian]

Loved the abyss part.

[@redgrittybrick]

Good to see a keeb supplier that prioritises ISO layout.

[@TuxmanXP]

I wish it had buckling spring compatible molds.

[@JahongirHaitov]

No ANSI enter key version? That's bad. It's wireless. That's good. And it is silent!

[@alexhood9438]

featuring cherry blossom switches

[@miff227]

Happy Easter everyone (typing this on my first mechanical kb!)

[@wkgmathguy218]

Yum, great to see you Tom :-)

[@Brunnen_Gee]

What's your favorite chocolate switch type, mint, peanut butter filled, or with crispy bits?

[@pugo7925]

Its quite fascinating how many time I can forget what date it is in a single day

[@betavidoh7944]

Looks better and seems more practical than MrMobiles iphone keyboard

[@Lachlant1984]

This video's making me hungry.

[@petermuller608]

Good one!

[@lightseeker6943]

Hey guys, unrelated question : I have a blue alps board in very good condition, but my big ass enter key is binding pretty severely and my shift keys are extremely rattly. I guess lubing the stabilizers is what I should do right ? If so, would Krytox 205g0 be my best choice ? Thanks 🙂

[@liefhebber6277]

I thought it was an actual keyboard until his finger came into frame

[@Arae_1]

With reference to 6:23 I don't think it uses an OLED? I think it has an LCD due to burn in issues

[@JacobGunner]

Well I know what I'm making next time I feel like making treats for game night.

[@juniorjr.]

Chocolate keyboards probably sound quieter than cream keybaords, making them way better in comparison.

[@DrJaneLuciferian]

Ah, I can see myself now typing away on that chocolate keyboard and sipping tea from my chocolate teacup set. Good times :^)

[@sebastian_meier]

These are hot swappable right?

[@BlissBee]

For a moment just a moment before you said the price I geniunly thought someone made a keyboard case and keycaps out of chocolate I mean you could do that theoretically

[@LeftyPem]

Can you get it in ANSI?

[@winnt_the_epic]

How good does the keyboard taste, and how easy was it to chew? Most of my keyboards are very hard to chew, and usually taste very metallic, and bland in other areas. I’m thinking of getting better tasting keyboards that are also easier to chew.

[@protocetid]

Cherry should be sued for false advertising

[@winnt_the_epic]

⁠@@protocetidI know, right? They should really specify that the switches don’t taste like cherries.

[@rat.1]

The layout works better as a full size as you wouldn't get much to eat if it was a tkl or a 60%

[@Bozhak]

How long is it in imperial units tho?

[@Chyrosran22]

About yea big!

[@Arae_1]

The real April fools joke is he enjoyed a small keyboard

[@greyareaRK1]

Bunny's arse, that's a sweet keyboard!

[@manitoublack]

love it

[@jammies701]

Dust cover?

[@alexeiz]

A groupbuy is in order?

[@grumpo_]

best wireless keyboard with no latency at all.

[@recyclebeann]

That Choc Thoccs

[@besserschreiben9481]

Strange mixture of ISO and ANSI layout?

[@starbase218]

But how much is it in imperial units?

[@protocetid]

250 -kilo- freedomcalories, pretty small for us Americans

[@owlstead]

I'd suggest a Chocolate Liqueur to go with the keyboard review. There are chocolate flaved beers I think but ... eeew.

[@fishbaitzez]

Oi, mate, I think you left your lense cap on for your typing demonstration. I can't believe your editor didn't let you know before uploading the finished vid...

[@sntxrrr]

That moment his hand came into view and I realized what scale it was....😄

[@vampula12]

Ah yes, tha date...

[@wembleyford]

But, hey, at least it's an iso keyboard.

[@IOSam]

And it comes in ISO!!!

[@dorstefan]

10/10

[@mesamesamesa1277]

que chistoso que sos, chyrosran te mando un abrazo desde cuba

[@evyd13]

❤

[@ToppovDejungle]

Hilarious aha cheers for the laugh =D

[@CaveyMoth]

That is some dark chocolate.

[@besss3980]

i actually got fooled before you actually put your hand near the keyboard.

[@Chyrosran22]

Happy 1st of April ^^ .

[@jayeaaaaa]

Please consider reviewing the Touch Cover that came with the first-generation Microsoft Surface tablets I think that would be pretty interesting

[@pierreandferb]

i'm quiming

[@wkg19591]

Mmmmmmm tasty! Does it come in clicky?

[@FinalJuice]

i got got 🗿

[@MrDowntemp0]

THOCholate

[@PanzerTanzer1]

Such a weird layout. An ISO enter key, but ANSI left shift...

[@DanielPetre]

It's ISO+ANSI so it is not a good keyboard.. unless eaten..

[@darkurthe]

Definitely do not carry this keep in your pocket. Easy to mod into a 60 or 75 format though.

[@redcroft308]

I thought we were getting a new review. I was april fooled. You're a monster. Taking advantage of the less fortunate.

[@nezyro]

████████████ @2:59

[@ian1231100]

It's so small I guess I can say it's bite-sized.

[@jeffreyjoshuarollin9554]

Is this the worst keyboard you’ve ever reviewed? Well, probably the tastiest.

[@Chyrosran22]

Still loads better than anything ergonomic :p . More calorific, too xD .

[@grndzro777]

it's amazing the influence that LPL has had on this day. Well done.

[@protocetid]

if keyboards evolved from typewriters why are there still typewriters? edit: look, no answers from scienceman Chyrosran, science has been debunked

[@gorix16]

Soo much wasted video minutes started from 3:01 to the end 9:00

[@Chyrosran22]

Had to disguise it a little bit xD .

[@LangleyNA]

Embarrassing.

[@TheAssclown213]

And its still bigger than what I give the wife, thanks.
