@@KeebClack lol thanks for the kind words. They are bad by today’s standards in keyboards. I whipped those renders up in less than 5 minutes trying to not lose the opportunity. I am I no way an expert in rendering, but it got the job done!

[@breezyc4026]

@@plumokin5535the collab we didn’t ask for, but needed

[@SeraphimKnight]

It's honestly comforting that even Taeha takes ~8h for a 65% worth of switches, makes me feel less embarrassed when it takes me 10 for a 75%.

[@TaehaTypes]

I am a slow luber 🥹

[@silentKeys20]

That's about 7 minutes a switch 😅

[@bakeraus]

What's the rush?

[@johnsci911]

I spent half a day for two kinds of switch the first time I build Mode Sonnet + checking if all have similar feel and sound

[@pauvre10m]

it's about 1 hour per 10 switchs for me ;)

[@Ilusm1337]

Even when it is burnt in, I still can hear the iconic scratchy sound of mx brown. Love it.

[@TaehaTypes]

Its a comforting sound COPIUM

[@breezyc4026]

Shhhhh don’t let Glarses hear you guys

So glad this came up on my recommended! I love MKBHD and see this as a huge W. Also the attention to detail is insane, when you synced the music up with the first few keys I instantly subscribed. And damn that desk mat 🥵

[@johnyjoe2k]

Damn, haven't watched Taeha in years and YT randomly recommends this vid. This is the classic Taeha I used to love, but now in short video format! Please make more like these!

[@awesomesauceusername]

I always see MKBHD's keychron in his videos and I always think that he deserves a nice keeb built by Taeha. Glad it finally happened.

[@tonyjin1384]

Came out so awesome! MKBHD was one of my first subscriptions on yt and think its so cool that you finally got to build for him

[@Jackomo2011]

Loved the really clean and aesthetic video. Room for improvement: Clips of the individual for example talking about what he wanted so u could explain what you chose. And in the end some sort of delivery/ live unpacking/ reaction of the new owner would be lovely. Much love, keep it up

[@TaehaTypes]

Thank you for the feedback! Yea I did actually intend to try and deliver the board in person but being across the country and certain circumstances made it a bit hard for me to. Hopefully future videos I can try to incorporate the collabator more!

[@abdou2523]

God this brought back many beautiful memories, still objectively the best intro I’ve seen on KZbin and the sound quality is just spot on !

What a stunning keyboard and a beautiful video with some lovely jazz music, love it

[@Budder99]

The whole video was beautiful, well paced, nicely explained, well lit and sounded perfect, but that typing test at the end where you really spent some time typing and let us get a proper feel for the board is the best part for me. Other channels seem to glance over this bit with only a small segment and it's a bummer, I wanna hear someone go ham on it for a moment!

[@TaehaTypes]

Glad you enjoyed it! Actually considered shortening it for the sake of time haha

I honestly miss the stream recap because it was more casual and less produced. When watching the streams it felt like I was building the board with you. I like watching those more casual streams while building my boards tbh

[@Darr1071]

That intro is nasty! Wow, I loved it

[@1.0xY.m0r0n]

Damn, that Bauer is so nice. You know you've made it when you get a one-off custom board from a tweet.

[@ObsessiveCaps]

One thing I think that's important to highlight in the switch lubing part of this video is that if you are using broken in switches, it is very important that you do not mix and match different switch parts. You really want to make sure that the stems and housings are matched with the original configuration they were broken in with, otherwise the break-in may not be consistent when mixing up stems and housings. I'm not accusing you of saying otherwise Taeha, but others might miss that important detail in this video and take away some of the value of breaking in your switches by making that mistake. It's best to go one switch at a time with broken in switches, rather than batch process lubing lots of switches.

[@maxmouse3]

This looks absolutely incredible ❤🖤

[@Derply]

how long until taeha and glarse have made every youtuber over 1mil subs a custom keyboard :O

[@sawyerseth9832]

I’m curious why you chose not to add any mods to this keyboard. Do you have a personal philosophy on this? While the keyboard did sound great I felt that it sounded pretty hollow. Personally I love the deeper sound you can achieve with foam and/or tape.

[@edward.sometimes]

Mods are generally strayed away from for higher end keyboards, as they tend to make all keebs sound the same/very similar, ruining the uniqueness of certain keebs and also the switch sound profile. Tape and foam mods are still great for lower end keyboards. The premium high end keeb community has started to look down on the foamy deep sound (although I still personally love it).

[@sawyerseth9832]

@@edward.sometimes oh that’s really interesting as the keeb creators I watch art still modding very expensive keyboards. And are often criticizing high end customs if they do not come with foam or even tape.

[@GrandSekiza]

I'd still would like for them to bring back the cnc bauer tbh missed out on the original runs.

[@omnitype_official]

Never say never!

[@Iamallwaysright1]

Can you do a review and disassembly of the Lofree Flow keyboard?

[@JorgePowell]

Question: I noticed there isn't space for a command button on the Bauer Lite case - given Marques' requirement for Mac compatibility would this not be a compromise for his needs? I love the board itself, it's probably one of the best looking builds I've seen - just curious if this was a concern during the design process. Loved the video, hope to see more collaborations like this in future!

[@omnitype_official]

Mac is for usable on a WLL layout. We designed the board and all our products on a Mac with this board. You just put Command on Caps Lock, Option next to the space bar and then Control on bottom left. Honestly it’s a more ergonomic layout to have Command on R3 right next to your pinky than on the bottom row.

[@JorgePowell]

@@omnitype_official Good to know - thank you for explaining. Will definitely be picking up one of these for myself! 🙌🏼
