GMK Botanical 2 really gonna do me dirty like that 😔 also edit I don’t know what happened to the colour correction at the typing test if just went bonkers
did you ever got that feeling, when you're buyin parts for a keyboard build, and they all come through the mail one by one, and the person you live with (your partner, friend, family) sees you getting these things, and they go "ANOTHER ONE??? You don't have enough keyboards already??"
i like how even though your channel has a lot of these videos of spending hundreds of dollars into a super keyboard it pushed me to do research and turn my 87S Skyloong kit into something glorious for only 110 dollars.
It’s probably not his main source of income, with the amount of money it costs to build one of these I can’t imagine the add revenue is sufficient so that he can afford a living. He’s probably a student living off student loans at the moment until he had finished his studies where he can get a well playing job to accompany his UA-cam channels revenue.
@@sammak2461 well, he doesn't build keyboards in every video (some of them are even sent to him for free i think), he's got members on his channel now, he gets the the odd sponsorship/paid-promotion here and there, plus I think he still lives with his family so I imagine rent/bills aren't a big deal either.
@@sammak2461 he mentioned in his knife keyboard video that he helps his mom out in the kitchen by sharpening the knifes lol. Also in that same vid he was in a backyard or some outdoor patio thingy, thats definitely not some collage dorm or a student's apartment, that there is a family house.
Amazing video - the quality of the shots and the build is so good! Some quick clarifications - the plate is actually FR4, not POM. The tightness is actually an issue that will be fixed for any future boards. Regardless, great video, and thank you for making this!
It's official, not only do I need to keep an eye out for this board, but I need to get myself some Lavender switches. I also wanted to point out that I love the fun edits and stunning shots of this build!
also it's pretty misleading as the only way to get yourself an Alpine now is to get it from the aftermarket which will run you AT LEAST 600 alone without stabs/switches/a $300 gmk set lol
good vid hamaji, i just purchased my first keyboard for my first build. i went w the space 65 r3 in purple and green hot swappable. i went with it hoping that its very good quality. after seeing it on clackbait with mitolet keycaps i had to have it. i never thought i would say a keyboard is sexy but here we are lol. wish me luck and i hope its a good quality keyboard. i went with a pom plate for mine. im hoping to use either cannon lavender or durock pom switches. i dunno which one to go with just yet. i want that deep thocky sound. i like the novel key creams sound. this is a pretty build here as well. wish me luck in my venture lol. im going with durock v2 stabs as well. im pretty excited and cant wait to get it tbh. what would be cool is if its worth more than i paid for it after GB ends lol.
Can't decide between thin and thick gaskets, they both sound good, just a bit different. The case foam however I think is a must if you want the best sound
It made me so happy when you showed lavender they are probably my favorite or top5 favorite switch and in my opinion it sounds better with the aluminum plate it sound so poppy and so nice
GMK Botanical is so good, I missed R1 but I'm getting the Desert base kit for R2 because I feel like the warmer alphas would match my general style more. I also have a bag of lavenders to lube up, so now all I need is... a better board
I've got a black Alpine65, with lubed and filmed tealios. I love it, and currently have GMK Hennessey on it, but I've bought Botanical and am waiting for it to arrive, still not sure if I'll put it on my black board or put it on a different white board. Great vid! :)
1. Filming doesn't reduce stem wobble, it reduces housing wobble. 2. You. Don't. Need. To. Film. Every. Switch. Filming solved a particular problem, if the problem is not there, it can be counterproductive. Lavenders are already tight as fuck, you will definitely have issues putting these in a tighter plate.
That board slaps! For me, the the most annoying branding is in the top right corner: why waste that space when there could have been a rotary knob or another switch socket there instead?* *I typically tend towards function over form so that's just a personal thing,
My alpine65 case broke within the first week of use... was really disappointed. Also! I struggled to get any and every switch into my Alpine Aluminum plate, I feel like that is just how it is.

pog
can u make a video upgrading the tecware phantom tkl 87
Hamini neo
I disagree. You don’t have to wait 2 years to get botanical r2.
Hi Hamaji!
so in order to make the perfect stabs, I need to chuck all the materials onto the them. Got it 👍
you might have a 100k subs but I have a better comment,
Our battle will be legendary
@@Daniel-ej8ll ???
@@Daniel-ej8ll his comment got more likes atm tho 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@Aquwu I have the second top comment and for 15 minutes the top comment
No, for the absolute *Perfect* stabs, you need to open switches with a screwdriver.
I think we can confirm that hamaji neo is addicted at this point
hahaha it’s been a good few months fam
@@hamajineo I was just joking lmao
Its times like this when I wish I wasnt a 16 yearold with minimum wage
its times like this i wish i wasn't an unemployed 14 year old.
@@Extrord17 same but I’m 15-
Im 14 and planning on getting a job soon just so i can start upgrading my stuff
I’m in the exact same situation but I’m spending 2000$ on keyboards
Chill man. Everyone's different. Your time will shine 🤠
Lovely to see you back hamaji, the alpine looks clean af 👌
Hamaji’s videos are actually so well edited and so fun to watch glad I subbed
wait a minute, scrolling through your videos almost all your builds have gmk keycaps. dayum
did you ever got that feeling, when you're buyin parts for a keyboard build, and they all come through the mail one by one, and the person you live with (your partner, friend, family) sees you getting these things, and they go "ANOTHER ONE??? You don't have enough keyboards already??"

I legitimately thought you found a faster holee mod :(
Wait, he didn’t?
@@Rinjel0 most of us don't have the gift of magic
@@Sincald bruh just get better
What a beauty, absolutely love green so the keycap choice makes me very happy
Imagine building keyboards for a living, this guy lives in the dream
It’s probably not his main source of income, with the amount of money it costs to build one of these I can’t imagine the add revenue is sufficient so that he can afford a living.

@@drinkmorewater3212 actually yeah I can imagine sponsorships and memberships get him a lot of money. I didn’t know he lived with him family either

@@drinkmorewater3212 daym boy you know your shit, dont listen no me
Man, those Lavenders are highly underrated! I hope to see more builds using them in the future.
Amazing video - the quality of the shots and the build is so good!
Some quick clarifications - the plate is actually FR4, not POM. The tightness is actually an issue that will be fixed for any future boards.
Regardless, great video, and thank you for making this!
will this keyboard ever be produced again? i need this in my life
me watching this while using a $20 pack in membrane keyboard: Interesting
me watching this using a mouse on a keyboard on my screen:
Me on me phone screen 😢
Me watching this on my tube tv
Save up for a mech keeb
i found it
What a beautiful board! Love the B roll and the outdoor shots of it!
Great video Hamaji! Really appreciate the quality of your videos and how much you effort you put into them.
At this point I can hear what keyboards sound like just by looking at them.
its like how you can tell what licking something will feel like without licking it lmfao
@@hammyyv2 This reply is oddly accurate
I can't describe how this sounds but it's like rainy and crisp and bouncy and so on
It's official, not only do I need to keep an eye out for this board, but I need to get myself some Lavender switches. I also wanted to point out that I love the fun edits and stunning shots of this build!
Beautiful looking Board man! This video was very satisfying to watch. And ooou those B roll shots 😩
Used lavenders for my friend’s first build and it turned out really well and highly recommend them.
your one of my favorite youtubers and also the reason why i am now into keyboards, keep up the good work, loving the content
Jeez hamaji, this board is *chefs kiss*
Thick + case foam is just *chef kiss
Finally u are using lavenders, i am gonna built ma keyboard with them and couldt find to mich review on the switches
You uploading always makes my days better! I absolutely love your content, keep it up homie :)
i love how this video is made like a tutorial, because we all have thousands of dollars to spend on a keyboard
the video is good tho
also it's pretty misleading as the only way to get yourself an Alpine now is to get it from the aftermarket which will run you AT LEAST 600 alone without stabs/switches/a $300 gmk set lol
Every time Hamaji posts I know its gonna be a great chill day.
I love the thin gasket with no case foam
3:30 hipyo has been teaching you his magic spells i see
good vid hamaji, i just purchased my first keyboard for my first build. i went w the space 65 r3 in purple and green hot swappable. i went with it hoping that its very good quality. after seeing it on clackbait with mitolet keycaps i had to have it. i never thought i would say a keyboard is sexy but here we are lol. wish me luck and i hope its a good quality keyboard. i went with a pom plate for mine. im hoping to use either cannon lavender or durock pom switches. i dunno which one to go with just yet. i want that deep thocky sound. i like the novel key creams sound. this is a pretty build here as well. wish me luck in my venture lol. im going with durock v2 stabs as well. im pretty excited and cant wait to get it tbh. what would be cool is if its worth more than i paid for it after GB ends lol.
This is why i love durock lavenders
Hamaji Neo every other week : The Making of my $$$ Custom Mechanical Keyboard
Nice! Ive been looking forward to this build since you announced it in the reaction vid, and it turned out great!
bro that looks SICK
Loving these builds hamaji!
1:35 anyone else remember when he built the tofu saying “this is such an aesthetically pleasing pcb”?
e-white and botanical, name a more iconic duo
LETZ GOOOOO HAMAJI NEO UPLOADED NEW KEYBOARD
glad we’re back to weekly uploads:)
Can't decide between thin and thick gaskets, they both sound good, just a bit different. The case foam however I think is a must if you want the best sound
Finally the video ive been waiting for!
So I just got my first ever keyboard and I’ll be putting it together tonight/tomorrow hopefully it turns out awesome.
I hope it turned out well!
Damn these keep getting better and better
you do such good work !
ugh alpine is just a beautiful board
also much wow magic
I don't think anyone is surprised you made a $600 custom keyboard
He can make any keyboard sound good
ur best sounding board yet no cap 🚫 🧢
It made me so happy when you showed lavender they are probably my favorite or top5 favorite switch and in my opinion it sounds better with the aluminum plate it sound so poppy and so nice
Could you maybe do a tutorial on how you edit the sound tests to have the text pop up? Great video
Clean af.
Honestly, the thin gaskets with case foam sound the best
the beauty of preference! ✨
7:00
Could it PLEASE be any louder?? Like sound max 100 PLEASED
Hamaji finna do a 10 minute 1 minute 10 second build challenge like his old sfm stuff
Loving that spacebar thock. I have the Alpine65 as well and am very happy with it.
This video was great! GMK Botanical looks really nice on the Alpine65.
Hello, mr. Hamaji, hope you have a nice day!
I'm just realizing now that my keyboard was like 20 bucks and now there is this guy with his keyboard worth more than my bank account
it's so clean and pretty!
Cleaner than my parents' room.
HOWS THAT POSSIBLE
Hamaji, can you please do your next switch review on the NK DRY YELLOWS
Wow I love living vicariously through people
Sick build hamani
When the room tour coming?
I watched one of your videos and I fell in love with your channel.
GMK Botanical is so good, I missed R1 but I'm getting the Desert base kit for R2 because I feel like the warmer alphas would match my general style more. I also have a bag of lavenders to lube up, so now all I need is... a better board
Looks amazing ngl
cleaner than my life will ever be
2:30 please tell me where you bought that bowl from. it's such a sick design i just need it man!
The alpine is such a grail 😫
new Hamaji wake the whole house up
Yesir hamachi neo videos ar hype
i ordered the hamajimat really excited
I've got a black Alpine65, with lubed and filmed tealios. I love it, and currently have GMK Hennessey on it, but I've bought Botanical and am waiting for it to arrive, still not sure if I'll put it on my black board or put it on a different white board. Great vid! :)

Filming solved a particular problem, if the problem is not there, it can be counterproductive. Lavenders are already tight as fuck, you will definitely have issues putting these in a tighter plate.
botanicals make my brain go happy
Just ordered the GMK Lychee.
that is an a amazing board you never let down
Me: Patiently waiting for my GB to come in
Hamaji: GMK Botanical 2 GB is live
Me: *sweating*
do you know when they’re going back in stock?
Ok i tought the magic at the beginning was just a coincidence but when he pulled out the wowstick i knew… he is turning into hipyo
When i saw bt made a vid about the alpine65 i knew one of my keyboard youtubers that i follow will make a vid sbout it someday
I am buying the lavenders, they are sick! I am probably not gonna film them because the sore fingers dont look so good...
3:34 so it seems hipyo has made a collab in this video lol
That board slaps! For me, the the most annoying branding is in the top right corner: why waste that space when there could have been a rotary knob or another switch socket there instead?*
*I typically tend towards function over form so that's just a personal thing,
I still remember that you said someone copy this in the one of react to keyboards lol
Gosh darn that board is beautiful.
nice vid hamaji
It's INSANE how they dare to ask 159 euros for a set of keycaps (170,69 dollar)...
This is literally my dream keyboard
My personal favorite would be thick gaskets with case foam
Do the Lavenders come factory lubed?
For those who want a painless switch insertion, just put on a keycap while doing so, might save some fingers!
4:01 I noticed my stabs sound a bit “scratchy” too. Any recommendations
i know a lot of ppl write this but i have actually never clicked this fast
it was 4 hours of pain for me 3d printing films and filming my keyboard but it was worth it
I see how poppy keyboards are great, but I still miss thock in the spacebar
My alpine65 case broke within the first week of use... was really disappointed.
Also! I struggled to get any and every switch into my Alpine Aluminum plate, I feel like that is just how it is.
what is your favorite keycap profile?
been waiting since latest reacting to keyboard YES!!!
