    Nick is Linus’ nemesis, I have never seen Linus so triggered by someone to this point, he felt helpless and he looked hopeless.
    Linus tried several different tactics, pointed everything that was wrong, Nick gave *_ZERO F%$#_* which drove Linus even crazier!
    Then Linus gave up and went for immature warfare but what really kills Linus is the fact that deep inside he knows that Nick might not even undo the mess he created on purpose.

    At 24:38 the issue with this argument that I hear all the time (I've been into customs for like 3 years now) is that it's not an equal comparison. The keyboard KIT cost u 200$, add in around 40$ for switches and lube (not to mention the time it takes to lube them), 20$ for a kit of stabs, a random 10$ usb-c cable, keycaps are gonna run you anywhere from 50-100$ and now suddenly your argument of "But it's only 200!! Logitech, Razer, whatever have boards that cost that much!!" well no, because now the keyboard is 300-360$. People who are into customs need to stop with the absolute BAIT of "It's only x" when x is only talking about the cost of the case, pcb, and plate.

    • @sophv
      @sophv 2 роки тому +6

      While that can be the case for some keyboards, not this one. Zoom65 is a complete package that comes with prelubed switches, stabs, and keycaps.
      Some keyboards can absolutely be wild in pricing but there is absolutely budget friendly and beginner friendly options out there.

    • @CheeseManFuu
      @CheeseManFuu 2 роки тому +3

      You realize that not every keyboard in the customs hobby has to be some gasket-mount, super flex-cut, CNC aluminum with brass weight artpieces with GMK keycaps + artisans and frankenstein switches right?
      There's a whole sub-culture in customs that don't mind stuff like tray mount and find boards like the GK61 or Womier K61 that are sub-$100 for pre-assembled kits as budget messiahs, are fine with more budget-centric dye-sub keycaps that are around $30, and pretty much are able to make something great out of basic gateron yellows and the stock stabs with just some extra lube for an extra $10 vial of K205g0 that will last them multiple keyboards. You can buy an SK68 with gateron optical switches, do the bare minimum of lubing the switches and stock stabs (+$10 if you get durocks, ooh so bad) and put in even paper towel into the case as a foam substitute and still have a really great gateway drug into customs for literally sub-$60, where you'll more than likely otherwise find cheapo Reddragon keyboards with Outemu switches or "mechanical feel" keyboards in that price range.
      Even some of the top creators in the keyboard space admit to the pointlessness of paying excess amounts on those kinds of things, they and the majority of the community know that anything more than the basics is just luxury. In spite of that though, the more we do fund and adapt these upper tier keyboards by dedicated designers with more "luxury" features like mounting styles or profiles, south-facing switches etc, the higher quality we will have at the lower range for similar quality in the future because *somebody* will want to adapt that popularity at a lower cost to open up to a larger audience and rake in more profit than the "end-game" keyboard designers. Just a couple years ago a really good top-tier aluminum TKL with top-mount was several hundreds of dollars, and now you can get a Keychron Q3 which has fair gasket mounting and a really good capability to sound good being a $200 option even during this hell of a recession. You just have to look, and more often than not, not for very long to find something that's great for the price.

    Love the videos of Linus and an employee screwing around, since that what this boils down to. FYI, that’s an FTW3 3090, not an XC3 3090.

    I can't blame him.

    Me watching Linus poke fun at keyboards:
    "B-b-but the feel and the looks and the things. My lube and my springs and my Group Buys. You just don't get it man!"
    *Proceeds to storm into room with multiple $500+ keyboards just to stay in MonkeyType for 7 hours
    In all seriousness the custom mechanical keyboard hobby is super cool. Some of the most wholesome fun and people I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Really glad to see someone who bought the Kinetic Labs' magnifying glasses 🤣🤣

    23:26 Hey, don't diss those that have USB mics. I'm using a Samson Q2U on USB and it works so well. Also not everyone uses OBS either to stream. XSplit is perfectly fine.

    Every IETU video starts with 5 minutes of Linus looking at all the stuff they stole from the office.
