Great video documenting your first experiences! The tofu, cherry switches, and tai hao keycaps are fine - but you can definitely get a lot better value nowadays with different brands. (EG A womier S-K71 which is fully built, aluminum, lubed for $89)
Thank you for the feedback Hipyo! In hindsight there’s a lot I would have done differently, hoping the second build goes better
Oooooo hello
Why is there like no replies on this comment
Howdy hey!
I did not expect to see a hipyo comment here holy
Great video! Not sure how deep you’re getting into the hobby or maybe its just a one and done, but its always great seeing people get the experience of building and using a custom mechanical keyboard. Its one of those things that you won’t get it until you try it yourself. Either way, welcome to the hobby and hope your channel grows!
great build, i would recommend going without o rings because it often leads to a mushy/soft bottom out feeling that isn't as nice as without them. If you wanted a switch with a quieter sound, i'd recommend checking out silent switches. But first try it without the o rings, it sounds much better :)
Interesting, I assumed it was always recommended to put o-rings on. I'll try it out, thanks for the tip!
IT SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER NOW THANK YOU
LOLLL YOU'RE VERY WELCOME
i knew those o rings were handicapping your keyboards potential
hey how hard was it to build im thinkling of makin a tofu 65 to but dont know if i can@@vonix
@@nolx99gaming takes a lot of patience and time but it’s not too hard
Great Video! I'm an enthusiast in the custom keyboard hobby, I've made keyboards for me and my family. If you're gonna go any deeper in the hobby or upgrade your keyboard later, I would definitely get some GMK, ePBT, PBTFans or other high-quality keycap brands in the same colour combination and get some good switches that aren't really the 'I just got into the hobby imma go with what everyone does' switches. It can be hard to know what to get when you first start, I would know xD Good luck and welcome to the hobby.
ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING YOU FORGOT! You didn't lube your stabilisers. If you weren't a beginner that would be a keyboard sin. Make sure that you lube the stabilisers.This makes the spacebar sound rattly, like the ducky and other prebuilt keyboards.
The reason your first switch didn't close was because you put the stem (brown bit) in the wrong way. you want to make sure the legs face the metal contact points.
And because the switch is tactile, you don't want to lube the legs of the stem or the metal contacts because it will reduce the tactility of the switch, alternatively, you could use a thinner lube like 3203
Keyboard looks great and vid is awesome, given me more insight as to how custom keboards are made. Keep going with the YT grind man
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@vonixyo love the vids
If ur looking for silent switches, the Gazzew white U4tx which has silent upstroke giving u a favourable sound but without a mushy bottom out and also giving u a tactile bump which by ur choice of mx browns you will like
The silicone bowl gaskets (green silicone things) are facing the opposite way. They're supposed to face it to you because that's where u are supposed to insert ur pc plate and not facing to the case.
you definitely need to lubricate the stabs, make mods and buy good switches (lubricate the switches too) and keycaps. and it would be possible to take a more budget base for keyboard, for example qk65 or zoom65. among the switches I can recommend Gazew Boba U4T or durock koala if tactile, gateron milky yellow pro or gateron oil king if linear.
Underrated asf god video fr
Great Keyboard build. Personally I still be rocking the wooting with its performance in mind
This was so cool to watch!! Love your videos man:))
Thank you Gyro!
Sick build, for mx browns it sowns very mint
great video I'm addicted to watching you
The goat uploaded!!
Thanks man
If you are thinking about gateron i would recommend the gateron g pro yellows they soound so creamy when u lube it or you can buy it pre lubed if you don't know how
Wow this video was great dude, had my full attention the whole time and felt like 2 minutes!
That makes me really happy, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yo bro i recommend lubing your stableisers
you should really try taking the o-rings off the keycaps it removes a lot of the character from the board and really mutes it
I’d suggest getting gateron oil kings i have them in my board and the sound and feel great. Also they are A LOT better than mx browns💀
thanks Hipyo now i know what to get
$300 turns to $400, which turns to $600, the $900, and on and on and on until theres no more money to spend, addiction will turn to dependence and will lead to your downfall...
great video !👍
Fire 🔥 great ass build.
Next time tho you can buy a cheap ass lube station to do multiple switches at once
I had no idea that existed... that would have saved sooo much time
use the akko cream yellow the best switches
I hope you get to 100k subscribers I love your videos and I don’t want you to delete your channel
that's oddly specific aint it
75 percent could look better and still sound better in stock
I think u should use topmount
Da endin was perfect geat vid tho
Glad you liked it!
Just get lubed yellows or reds, they are so much better than the browns
Holy crap I’ve had notifications on since 2020 💀
Lube and tune your stab it sound rattlely
glarses is gonna hate u for using MX browns xD
I see a lot of people roasting him in the comments, but building a keyboard is hard and nobody’s gonna wanna come in to this community if people are toxic about so many things. Although there are also people in the comments giving him really helpful tips to that’s good lol.

Best ending
dont let glarses find this
🔥
common mectric W
At this price, you can buy an RTX 4060.
I better buy that keyboard more than a 4060
W
get some tealios switches or c3 tangerine switches
I'm little scared I'm not going to like linear switches since I'm so used to tactile switches, but I guess it's worth trying out, thanks for the rec
@@vonixYou could try and get a switch sample kit where you maybe get 10 different switches and see which one is the best, that way you can find the switches that best suit you.
@@Albaek06 That's genius, I had no idea that existed.
Do you reccomend something like this?
hippokeys.com/products/the-one-of-everything-sample-pack
@@vonix i haven’t tried that one but something just like that yes!
Just find a kit where there are some switches that you may be interested in
bro thats me
As i can see this case is not that good because is not very suitable to be opened very often due to the position of the feet
Actually the rubber feet are really easy to remove and attach since they didn't use adhesive
mx switches???????
He builds a $300 custom keyboard, but he can't game-
wish i was a good gamer 😞
💖💙🤍 love the caps :)
Thank you Molly Furman media

Everybody buying custom keyboard

The reason you lost in Fortnite is cus he was useing the drum shot😢
Bro seriously is using cherry mc browns even though he has watched glarses, what research did you do?
bro bought a tofu65 in 2023 💀 there are much better options now compared to 4 years ago. the reason ltt used a tofu65 was because it was a sponsor.
nice!
edit: yes, i liked my own comment.
