When clipping stabs, you want to fully clip off the legs so that everything is flush.

[@mol3manskeems]

Still sound okay with the bump he left, but I agree with you :) clip those mfers all the way off!

[@fredneverdead773]

i was also thinking that lol

[@siegmund2223]

The intro has got even better I'm actually in pain at how good it is now.

[@BosuDX]

NEO NO!! THE STABS!!! The stabs should not look like that after being clipped. 4:12 The bottom should be flat at the end, do not leave the little nub on like he did as it will make your stabs still uneven and rattly. A lot of people make this mistake and I want to help Neo and all of you. Taeha Types just released an in depth guide solely on stabilizers on his channel everyone should check out as it's probably they best guide out there for stabs right now.

[@Shiv_Deore]

@@lando634 yep after lubing and band aid modding too it sounded hollow

[@Ballacha]

i'd advise people to try only lubing the spring and the stablisers for early-bump tactile switches like this one. i fully lubed my keychron low profile optical mints and it felt awful. i ended up washing everything away and re-applied lube on just the springs and stablisers. it now sounds great and retains 100% of the factory tactility which is what i bought them for.

For bag lubing springs I use Paraffin Oil (White Mineral Oil [8042-47-5]). It works great for me and the price compared to Krytox 105 is more than worlds apart. In Sweden I bought 1L (more than I will probably ever use) for around $9, krytox 105 seems to be ~$10 for ~5ml so somewhere around 200 times the price, AND I can buy this oil pretty much anywhere.

[@dpear3]

The Nk65 also benefits from adding some foam between the plate and pcb. I happened to have some precut foam for a different 65% board that I modified and added in, but it really takes the board to a whole other level.

[@12345678946513]

Tip: don't throw away the bag that you used for spring lubing after you're finished with lubing all the switches. The excess oil can sometimes be enough to lube even more springs

I was able to snag an nk87 on sale recently and built it out with some box jades and honestly this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. For 100$ these NK boards cant be beat imo especially the newer versions that have board mounted stabs.

[@boopdino8053]

2:45 So you added switch films the big brain way

[@Bubbles-co5rd]

That board looks so nice im a sucker for those White on black keycaps they pair nicely with almost any build

[@nothlur]

I HIGHLY recommend trying Halo stems in those T1's! Recently built a keeb with them (Holy Wei's) and they've definitely become my favorite switch by far.

[@Instinct0425]

[@khaicho]

Copped those switches from rebult as well thanks to your recommendation from the Noir Rose video!

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

After watching this video after 5 months again, and now havin my own self built keyboard (didn't get a barebones). I have learned that I probably need to do two things: 1. get switch films 2. possibly band-aid mod my screw in stabs somehow. (they are already lubed and ho-lee'd) 3. Optionally get an alu case for the clickityclackity perfection

[@Just_City]

I just got into mechanical keyboards and I really want to build one and I saw the NK65 entry edition case ( the translucent ones ). Are there any other options to buying it / when are they restocking?

[@andrewzelitt]

Hey, a bit late to probably get a response but how does one properly lube switches when they have a tube of lube instead of a container with a screw top, I got for 205g0 from amazon and it came in a tube.

[@haydencarroll618]

Where do you buy your lube? I have been trying to find a vender that sells 205g0 in larger amounts, and I can't seem to find one.

[@lovelarsson2781]

I have a quik question, Im currently looking at buying nk65 entry edition but there is something that I need to know. Im from one of the nordic countries ( sweden, denmark, norway...) and is there a way in via or qmk to make a nordic layout for the keyboard?

[@polynotgone8349]

1:33 I don’t recommend lubing the center hole, if you put too much lube in the center it’s going to kill the switch sound

Hold up. My NK65s didn't have stabs with claws that needed clipped. Is that something on the first run boards?

Problem with lubing exposed parts is that it will attract and hold onto alot of dust and after a while it will clog up the movement and won't be as responsive anymore.

I'm a little confused as to which lube you ended up using; At the beginning you said you used Krytox 203g0. However, during the typing test, your on-screen text said Krytox 205g0. Did you change it later, or was that a type-o?
