4:30 Trying a few more switches - what did I end up with? - Наука та технологія
These "One Month Later" videos are really great because it gives you a lot of insight of a product after quite some time of usage. The QK one especially because it helps me on what things I should expect with it. Superb mate.
So good to hear mate, and so happy to have you back here! Will definitely be doing more of these going into the future.
Avi, I appreciate this video! Great stuff, ended up getting a pre-order because of your past video. Appreciate the insight, keep it up man!
oh my god i was doing some research into this keeb and stumbled on this video. i am so glad i did, i love their style of editing oh my lordie lord. well done
the mx brown cycle is something many enthusiasts find themselves in. embrace the endgame switch
Not the first time I've heard this. Maybe I have to go get some browns, lube and film them and see how they stack up against my other tactiles
Kinda sad that the mx clear is overlooked though
@@malte3421 personally i don’t think light tactiles like mx browns should be lubed due to the way it makes them feel less crisp. i just do a spring swap and i’m done. that said, modding switches is just as subjective as the rest of the hobby.
@@chunkymilk1288 i think if cherry retooled clear stems so they no longer have the keycap stem issue they’d be more popular.
@@mena4108 you swap the springs to deal with ping crunch I assume? If I get them, I'll give that a try first and see if that's good enough for me
Excellent review. It's an absolute joy to watch this unique style of filming and editing.
thank you so much!
You are my current favorite keeb youtuber. Something about your editing and cinematography just hits me hard. I wish you would upload more and more brands sponsor you. Great video as always brother!
thank you so so much bro, that means a lot to me! definitely going to be uploading a whole lot more, starting to get into the rhythm of ideating and producing content!
Loved the idea behind this video :D the retro documentary feel was 10/10 spot on!! :D Really dug the colors and overall vibe of this video
Thank you so much!
Another dope video! Loved hearing the journey of the board so far. Keep it up 🙏
Thank u cap!
I have not regretted pressing the sub button and waiting for even better videos:)
Keep up the pace Avi!
Again Avi, top tier content! Love the shots, color, everything in this video was amazing! Great work :)
(Also LOVED that you answered all the other questions -including mine-)
Ayyy welcome back bro!! Thanks so much for the kind words and stoked to have you back again
@@AvinashKunjamboo :) glad to be back watching this incredible content!
The quality is outstanding! Keep up with the great work!
Thank you!
This is a really well filmed, storied and designed video. I rarely comment but I just wanted to put that out there. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the videos Avi, always enjoy what you are doing! Keep up the good work :D
Thank you mate! Really appreciate it!
I loved this video in documentary format, it was really cool! Btw, great keyboard!
Thanks mate!!!
I would definitely look into trying out the KNC Keys Green Jacket switches if you are in the market for a clacky long pole tactile with excellent quality and factory lubing. Great video! I really enjoy your content.
Mx browns are an amazing switch, thanks for keeping an open mind and trying them out before hating on them
Love your style man. Great video.
Thank you chief! Happy to have you back again, hope Tetra is going well for ya!
luv it. full nylon mx gives the best sound. i agree with the scratchiness as well
Welcome back boss! Thanks heaps
dude such a banger bro keep it up !
Thank you bro!!
“I’m a big fan of beige keycaps” understatement of the year lmao, keep up the good work my dude!
Lmaoo literally keep going back to them
@@AvinashKunjamboo you’ve corrupted me into loving them now too
Hahaha the long and winding journey back to MX Browns. Gotta love it. I must say that blue Standard is really growing on me. Good to see you back mate.
Haha thank you mate, it's honestly unreal. Been using these switches daily haha. Glad to be back!
I just suscribed from watching the last video, but the sound and aesthetic of this one just made me sure of the decision.
Not a Custom Keyboard hobbyst... but maybe will in the future. I love the sound of those keystrokes.
Thank you so much mate!!! Such kind words. it's definitely a rabbit hole but quite worth in my biased opinion haha
Looking forward to possibly ordering this build! Just wish there was more switch options but I can always switch them out myself. BTW could you recommend a good keycap and switch puller? The ones that come with my prebuilt keyboards seem terrible.
You may just be tactile switch fan :) My very first switch on a non-vintage board (which were always MX Black) was MX Brown. I enjoyed them but found I was not a fan of tactile MX, even though later I would go on to get a Topre board for work, but it's still a classic switch and I always know when I'm typing with them. My wife uses them exclusively now :) I think in today's clone market with the constant pursuit of smoothness, which don't get me wrong as a linear guy I enjoy (years back we were lubing everything too), is that people don't realize some texture isn't always a bad thing and may be preferable for some. It's just adds mechanical feedback & character, which to me really works on some boards. I really enjoy Hyperglides, as they're improvements on the prior retooled ones and a worthy successor to vintage Cherry switches, so I'll always have some on hand. I will say for me, back in the olden times, I was swapping in brown or blue Cherry springs into blacks for most keys, usually leaving the stock heavier spring in the spacebar and like caps lock. Now I still do, just with progressive/multi-stage 'nicer' options that are in the 55-68g range. Cheers!
I didn't start with cherry browns or blacks but once I swapped the springs and lubed my cherry blacks, I really do like them.
(used some 205g0 and 18mm 65g springs from Geonworks, where I bought my hg blacks.)
I'm really starting to wonder how different GHv4 lube is in comparison to 205g0. I hear it's really good on cherry switches.
If you find mx blacks heavy consider spring swapping or mx reds which are just blacks but lighter. Cherry springs have a lot of ping though so I would just swap them.
New Avi vid!!!!
It’s so pretty
Scratch on the browns, or any other switch, definitely adds character. Kind of sad that the market leans to a future of smooth switches and leaves behind an audience looking for scratchy and chalky switches. I probably have commented this in every mx black sound test lmao, but I really just cannot use a smooth switch; what's there to feel?
Mate I can't agree more. something about scratchiness just does it for me! Looks like the next league is topre hahahaha
How does this compare to the u80? Do you still use your u80?
The problems are: 1. the colors do not have the black, silver or grey that someone would like to have a cheap mechanical keyboard use in the workplace. 2. the seal stickers are used for warranty on the screws, customers must have a trade off to open up the case for their own modifications. 3. the switches are come with the keyboard which is good, but cherry mx switches are not ideal switches for someone, and they are paying for those switches with the keyboard cases. If customers change other sets of switches and keycaps once they receive it, the leftover value of the keyboard is not much. I don't think the sticker things at the back of the keyboard is a big issue since everyone can peel it. I hope Monokei can consider the issues I listed for the next generation standard keyboard. Thank you for your video.
Good points raised mate! I'll be sure to feed this back to the Monokei guys. Thank you!
its my birthday! great vid too!
Happy birthday chief! Thanks for stopping by
New subscriber! Love how you produce your videos man! i'm a freelance photographer and videographer btw. Top notch video production man new approach ❤️
Thank you so much bro! So sick that you do freelance too. I know it can be a tricky business so happy to chat on insta if you ever need to sound off!
you have the best visuals out of any hobbyist youtuber, please upload in 4k or at least 1440p
unless the camera you use doesn't record at 4k, regardless, what camera do you use?
I do shoot on a bmpcc4k, but I re-crop in post so It's compressed to 1080p. Sometime soon I'll start my uploads in 4k!! Thanks so much for the kind words too.
How would you rate it against other budget keyboard in terms of sounds and typing feel
hmm this is a tricky one since ive only had the tofu and keychron q2 - i think it depends on what you define as "value". if you see value as having as many features possible and it being aluminium, then keychron is your best bet, but if you see value as a well considered package that you don't need to tinker with - this is your best bet. hope that makes sense? haha
Suave blue is goated
Legit tho, stoked to have you back here chief
Qk60 pleaseee bro❤
party samples/generators/etc. you use are.
