I Built the THOCKIEST Keyboard. (Neo75)

[@rosebloom522]

this is like THE ULTIMATE THOCK GUIDE TO BEAT ALL THOCK GUIDS

[@storms13]

3.5 years ago, I built my first keyboard. Your channel definitely helped a ton and influenced me to do it! I just saw how many subs you have now, and I’m so happy to see you getting the recognition you deserve!

[@GustavoAlves-iq5pc]

NOT THOCKY ENOUGH! You guys need start working with materials like depleted uranium and braycote 601 EF grease.

[@claudiusnero5025]

Just letting you know, you forgot the oil kings in the back to back sound comparison at 4:22

[@MarbsMusic]

I have mine on order, Navy/Brass, tri-mode, FR4.... plan to use Xinhai heavy or Nixies with GMK Blue Samurai. Plan on going for a deep clack rather than thock with the gasket mount. I've found on most QK/Neo/OL boards, which are my favorites, that because the cases are so good that FR4 is quite balanced and you can get a clack or a thock depending on Foam, Switch and keycaps with it. To me DCX is slightly deeper than GMK and those 2 are my favorites. That being said I love the sound and look of Osume when I want PBT with PBTfans being a close second. Those 2 definitely deepen the sound. Fantastic video / lesson, I wish I had seen this a few years ago! I'm sure many are going to find it quite enlightening!

[@SoidHoid]

This was a nice concise little reference for keyboard options. Thank you!

[@IdeationGeek]

You should make a series on keyboards with integrated mouse! Cause they are a class of their own, really important for productivity.

[@masterace9543]

I was thinking about grabbing one for a travel setup, any recommendations?

[@EvilWiffles]

Unfortunately, no trackpoints. Trackpad keyboards take more space and are less ergonomic, requiring you to move your hand from home row.

[@joegignac1832]

I liked the all foam and DCX keycaps and the rest of the config that you chose. :)

[@linhhong6804]

I mean if it's thock is what you looking for, don't bother buy the more premium keyboard since any budget pre-build keyboard will do the job. The foam will most likely hide any flaws in the material and make them all sound almost the same

[@BakusanDayo]

I think you got it wrong. Denser material is slower yes, but more rigid a material the FASTER the sound travels and resulting higher frequency. Dense = Low frequency Rigid/stiff = High frequency Just think about what happens when you tighten a guitar string.

[@ciaduck]

I don't know how many of your video's I've seen, but I just now realized we type the same way. That left pinky is only for shift. LOL. Thanks MMOs, for teaching me how to type fast!

[@ChrisGVE]

Very nice video! My keycaps of choice are mainly MT3, but I would otherwise go with your selection (I'm planning to get a Neo75). Now, there is one option you have not tested: a plateless keyboard. I'd be curious what you think about that option (personally, meh, but YMMV).

[@sentimentalhermit]

I don't think good keyboard designs are intended to use all foams. In fact, the NEO75 build guide only calls out to use the PE sheet. Bottom case and plate foams are optional.

[@dielitval]

i dont think you should use any foams on any of the neo boards only case foam if its hollow

[@Kdiekrbf]

@dielitval Even then, an extra force break mod fixes any hollowness on their 2-piece boards.

[@sir_quirkus7206]

morandi, alum., carbon, gasket mount, mt3, all foam, are all my favs

[@playascap]

thank you! I learned so much from this video and i think i will be able to make better decisions when buying keyboard mods in the future.

[@Bawkr]

Gaterons get better with use and summer times. Initial the lube is too much but it moves away with some use. Gateron browns are what I'm referring to in a older board compared to what is out now but they are optical switches so they're not that old. I think I'd go with bottom foam only and MT3 but try to get them in a different surface shape perhaps. The Pom plate as well sounded good to me. That's an awesome keyboard hopefully I can get something like that someday.

[@somedev1553]

Have you tried rosewood and green fog from akko?

[@dixieflatline1189]

Love the asthetics and sound of this case - I'm not clear on what needs to be bought separately to make a complete KB 75cu + Switches & keycaps?

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

Yep, it comes with stabilizers already

[@TheRiklaunim]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial Hello, I wanted to know for the stab, are they pre-lub or do I need to buy some grease etc for it ? First time to do a custom keyboard here

[@jacobpoole1308]

Dang it i wish this video was out last week! I just ordered my first custom kit, but i have a feeling ill be buying some more

[@lamperooni]

I wish I had waited for this video before ordering my Neo 75! I would have probably changed the plate and possibly the bottom. Oh well I can always get a different plate later down the line.

[@Yamiyogami]

Honestly this probably is the worst keyboard to choose for this type of video. Neo boards are meant to reflect the board’s natural sound instead of the foams. To each their own i guess

[@ievaday]

I believe you should have included more recent switch options in the comparison, like maybe something thocky-ish from BSUN (Hutt or Dusty Rose) or HMX (Purple Dawn, EVA, Game 1989) or Akko Creamy Purples, Gateron EF Curry.

[@kimhaas7586]

This was your best video yet.

[@PaulyGutes]

I have a question for the keyboard experts. So I recently changed the key caps on my Rainy75. The original and the new key caps both are double shot PBT. But the original key caps sound noticeably deeper sounding than my new key caps. Is this in my head or are there other factors at play here besides material? Also thank you for this guide! So many questions I had were answered

[@dnatrueshot4598]

@@PaulyGutes 2 questions. The first a bit silly but I figured I should ask. Are they both the same profile? Are they from the same manufacturer of the key cap? Different manufacturers could result in slightly different manufacturing methods, even if the materials are the same, as well as minor shape changes on the underside of the key cap. Ie. slightly thicker stem, slight underside mold angles. FYI I also have a Rainy75

[@PaulyGutes]

@ They are both double shot pbt. The key caps I got are knock offs of some GMK keycaps. I don’t feel like spending $100 on keycaps and figured since they were the same material they would sound the same, yet for some reason the original feel more premium.

[@DenyingConstant]

​@@PaulyGutes That's just how it goes buying knock off keycaps. The OG Rainy75 keycaps aren't even that bad quality-wise. Even with something like gmk (which is double-shot abs) can still sound deep. It just comes down the thickness of the keycap itself and material variance. Generally the factories making the knock off colorways of GMK are gonna skimp out on build quality, sound, and thickness. Obviously stuff like GMK is pretty overpriced (I still buy it personally), but comparing the differences between a no name $25 Clone Keycap Set and a $70-90 PBT set (Osumekeys for example) you get what you payed for usually.

[@dnatrueshot4598]

@@PaulyGutes Yeah, I have to agree with @DenyingConstant , they are all great points.

[@edhikurniawan]

Flip your keycaps, it usually the answer. Assuming the same material and profile. Thickness matters as described at the video. But the shape of the material also matters. Some knock offs usually has weird or incoherent thickness around the wall. At much cheaper options, they can also has incomplete filling. I have one that has pyramid like shape. So it has thicker bottom and thinner rim when the cap flipped upside down. That kind of shape amplifies the sound.

[@RusselL-D1]

thanks for making this video for me to purchase the neo75 cu, great reference!

[@JustMills]

The navy and copper with black accent is the exact build I ordered. Looks good I’m excited.

[@danbeforetime]

Same here

[@TheRealAstro_]

Honestly the Gateron milky yellows sounded the best to me. Don't the morandis have quite a lot of stem wobble also? Might need to take that into account for a good all round experience

[@flylowe46m38]

Yeah the morandi have stem wobble but when I type I can’t tell… more than my gat blue bubble gums, just got gat smoothies and have really tight stem also the gazzews do to oh and the ws ones with bearing or ,teal balls are smooth and tight

[@espressoshot21]

That sounds absolutely incredible 😍 ugh I just wish it had a knob. I need to have a knob on my keyboard

[@ZapThePancakes]

That anodized navy look so nice.

[@fulgently]

Akko MU01 uses FR4 plate + Akko Rose wood switch = Deep cream/ thock sound. Able to try these combos with various keycaps?

[@ambasing69]

The 0.5 second typing test at the beginning 😭😭

[@GargamelTheGreat]

I love how the morandis sound but they wobble so freaking much when you type on them, definitely not worth it in my opinion

[@CodSlap]

@GargamelTheGreat there is a lot of variation between different switch manufacturers in tolerances, sometimes even within the different material components from the same manufacturer. Wobble is one of those things that may see a very noticeable improvement from filming the switches. 🙂

[@tao6295]

For some reason my neo75Cu has a noticeable vibration/resonance during typing. Have you felt this on your unit? Any recommendations on how to reduce this vibration/resonance?

[@agofficial1]

Can you do the same on Keychron keyboards?

[@lysacid]

I know you've been out of the game for a while but this is definitely not "thock". It's more clack leaning than thock.

[@JoseSalazar-rt3mm]

Me encanta el NEO75, es una verdadera obra de arte, y el NEO Ergo aun más.

[@siri_uos8246]

Im curious what Ceramic caps sound like on this board or metal

[@bchan6539]

great video. I'm lazy, I think I am going to get the evo80 simply because it is all done for me. I know this is as easy as it goes for assembly, but just thinking about the time I would need to put in, gives me a headache. I think changing out keycaps and switches would be as far as I go.

[@flylowe46m38]

That is the best part of any hobby is putting it together just like I do on my pc builds

[@Manjai122]

Why didn't you use any modern switches? Seems like the switches you used were meta 2 years ago

[@Shmack_]

I wouldn’t mind a 6hr video 😂jk. I used to like the loud clicky switches and I built a kailh navy thicc clock keyboard but I met this girl who built her own and had this thocky keyboard and I’ve been chasing that feel and sound ever since. Hopefully I find it

[@MadmanLink]

I hope you do a build like this for a silent keyboard. My wife and daughter complain about how noisy it is when I type.

[@NextLapSimRacing]

IMO, switch options were fairly poor. I’m surprised the Creamy Blue V3 Pro sounded this good though, as I have plenty of them and they definitely don’t sound that way in any of my keebs (including a Neo65, Neo Ergo, and Q1 Max)

[@nowaybernie]

u killing the board by putting foams

[@Draconem2000]

think you may have miscalculated on the oil kings--the kinetic labs listing you show is $11.70 for 18 switches, which would be $58.50 for 90, not $92. and the back to back switch sound tests also didn't include the oil kings.

[@SwitchandClickOfficial]

I actually bought my oil kings on Amazon at $90... I failed in saving money

[@flylowe46m38]

Milktooth has them for 5 to 6 sense more but free shipping after 49 dollars. Ends up cheer and fast delivery. so far I’ve order 2 sets of switches already in 2 weeks glad I found them couse shipping sucks every where else like kinetic you have to spend more kfa I think it’s 70 or more so unless you are spending more it makes no sense on shipping

[@Strafter09]

Just seen the Akko cream yellows for sale, happy I didn't buy them. Also found a very good offer for the morandis, which I originally wanted to buy. Lucky I saw ur Video!

[@pgrozev1]

I'm personally more of a clack rather than thock type of guy which is why I prefer tactile over linear switches. More character to it and the bump on the keypress is nice. I can see how many people will like the sound of the foam + linear but the truth is all these foams make any or almost any keyboard have the same marbly sound to it which gets really boring over time. At least for me it did. Plus, using no foams quickly draws out the shortcomings of the design for most keyboards. Also highlights how much of a poor job someone has done tuning their stabs and you can easily hear ticking or other unpleasant sounds from the bad stab tune so it takes you forever to get it just right, especially if you are new to the hobby. Board looks very nice though. I do appreciate how tri-mode, quick-to-build custom keyboards with good materials have become affordable nowadays. The same config would have cost you an arm and a leg 5-8 years ago. Especially with that huge copper/brass bottom. I also am not sure the switch choices were the best. Then again, if you had to explore all the good options out there, this would have taken forever. As for the budget tactile choices, I would have picked the Akko V3 Lavender pros or the Creamy Purple Pros for top budget choices. A bit more expensive, I would have gone with the Geon HG Whites. These are a very good tactile. Bobas are amazing as well but more of a mid to premium choice for a switch. Thanks for the vid!
