watched this with my wife in the room, she stared at my keebs, switches, and desk mats, sighed and left the room.... Am I in too deep? HELL FUCKING NO IM NOT!!
I'm just green in this game but I bought some bobagums because "they're they bessssstttt" and I'm glad I only got 30... Don't really love them, they feel dead and I mis-type constantly, meanwhile browns give you at least some sensation that the key has moved sufficiently. I'm glad I grabbed some boba u4t though, they feel amazing, I just need more to fill out the board.
@@Augustk25 yes, thanks for insulting me while pointing out the obvious but after several years of practice when I was much younger I learned how to read and knew I was buying linears. That doesn't change the fact that the gums feel dead and kinda terrible, I think gat yellows feel better, a little more scratchy but less numb.
I'm so impressed with how fast this channel is growing and the amount of support you get from us viewers. I can't wait to see how your content evolves in the future. Keep it up. Overseas bros together strong.
For a switch collector, hotswap is the way. I love my soldered masterpiece boards, but it's my trusty cheap hotswap that has all the miles on it - enabling the madness with every clack.
@@switchbox.studio283 I agree 100%, i would go with hotswap for most boards anyway since i can change it more often and won't have to take the entire thing apart
I remember it like it was yesterday. I watched Linus Tech Tips video on switch comparison. Their top tactile was cherry browns… I looked at my Corsair with browns, disgusted and confused. Was there really nothing better? UA-cam suggested me this weird video about some dude named Glarses… next thing I knew I bought a switch tester in kbdfans. Mind was blown. I got a dygma raise, preordered a Rama u-80a… gmmk pro… why am I lubing and filming switches if I don’t even have keyboards to put it in ? Why did I spend my entire budget for a new pc on several keyboards… that I won’t have until next year?! What possessed me…. Oh yes my “going broke over keyboards” spreadsheet acts as a record of my mistakes. Past. Present. And future. I secured some sweet GMK sets so 2022 might be exciting. Oh yes I think I reached end game and now I just have to wait… oh I need an Alice board and sneak box is releasing AVA gotta get in on that. Finally, my soul can rest no more will I live in angst looking over my shoulder, pretending I won’t browse through more groupbuys, I am relinquished from this hell and free! Free I tell you!… what’s that?! Mountain Alice? A southpaw Alice? Well I gotta have that too…. Help. Now I’m done. I can finally move on with my life and start saving again. AM Hatsu?! Who is paying 1600$ for a stupid keybo….. it does look kind of sexy…. Would the IRS let me claim this as a work expense? I’d have to drop my job and become a UA-camr….. help? Help?!
Two boards built, two on the way, 12 sets of switches. Oh shit... I forgot about the 7 GMK sets I ordered in the last twelve months. Hmmmm, but the wait time is a year, so I think I'll buy Zooted in time for 4/20/22 Absolutely been loving the content, Keep up the good work Shoobs!
New to your channel and mechanical keyboards and your channel is really entertaining and actually helped me learn a little bit more about mechanical keyboards! I think I might start down the rabbit hole soon as well :P
Yoooo, this whole video and series is fire. I finally made the jump into the hobby after watching different creators build for a little over a year. I can’t stop ordering and joining gb’s now. Haha I’m hooked. The last part of this video made my week...”letssss gooooo!” Gooooood shit! Cheers!
just when i thought i had just climbed out of the rabbit hole that is mechanical keyboards, i get one video in my feed and i am pulled down once again...
“We all know the best way is back up, yet we keep going down. What is wrong with us? Nothing, just the sheer fact that we keep looking for the endgame keyboard that we know will never appear”
This is so true. I just entered this rabbit hole and will begin building my first set next week. The plan was to build one keyboard, but for some reason I've already hoarded and pre ordered items for three full sets. Whats wrong with me...
"REally think I only like TKLs" -builds one, loves it, best keyboard ever!- -eyeing the Tofu60 out of the corner of my eye- I mean...after all I could use a board for travel right? Need a board for vacations. And then that gives me an excuse to try out a bunch of new switches.
I've bought a 40% Keyboard to make a Switch Tester. So i Buy interesting Switches. Then i buy the Switches i like. Then i need to buy Cases that fit the Character of the Switch. Then i need a Keycap set for this Build. Then i find a nice Keycap set and need to find a Case and new Switches that fit for it. Then its 2031 and the first GMK Kit finally arrives.
How do you deal with bent pins when you get switches shipped in bags? Just hope they sent a few extra and bending them back works or what? It’s kinda annoying when they could just send the switches properly packaged and not break anything… but cost I guess
Oh how this hits home... I have literaly 1 (read one) crapy keyboard (GK64X).. yet I have six different sets off (110 each) switches.... Yes i did get two GB keyboards but it will be a while till I get them...
The definition of a mechanical keyboard is: a mechanical keyboard is a keyboard that is mechanical.
yes
Yes
so I can pour water in it since it's not electrical?
@@ramondettmer8817 how do you think I clean my mechanical keyboard?
I just dump it in the bathtub and clean it with the nearest soap.
A mechanical that is keyboard?
i do not care how far I go, I MUST BUILD MORE KEYBOARDSSSSSSSSS
there is no end to this ride
More keyboard give me moreee
@@ShoobsTube wait you don't have an endgame yet? psssh wat a nube smh my head shaking my head :/
3:32
I'm glad that Shoobs has seen the light. Mx browns are true endgame
indeed
watched this with my wife in the room, she stared at my keebs, switches, and desk mats, sighed and left the room.... Am I in too deep? HELL FUCKING NO IM NOT!!
never enough lets gooooo
The question is how are you in this hobby and have a wife at the same time?
@@silver2k848 I’m still trying to figure that out myself
nice
"Don't use 40's. only villains do that" Good thing my has a southpaw numpad
He can use a tkl because he got a whole ass numbpad on his mouse.
this is true
@@ShoobsTube honestly making think of buying one of those type of Moises
Mouses* after i buy my first kc84s to upgrade over some $45 full size kb w rgb and outemu red/brown ( i got two of them)
I still remember when the first one came out. ily shoobs keep it up ❤️
Thank you for the continued support instinct
3:32 Glarses is gonna come for your liver if he sees this
You about to be desoldered
I've turned into the 'MX brown is the best' guy. I guess when your in far enough, you come full circle.
finally reaching enlightenment
Same. I'm linear gang, but that scratch from the browns be feelin hella good now.

Everytime I watch one of these it literally attacks my soul I’ve never felt so called out and I love it
"How many switches do I have?"
Me: I need to buy more boards now..
a dangerous cycle
@@ShoobsTube It is, I need to buy like 4 more boards to use up these switches, maybe more
For a switch collector, hotswap is the way.
I love my soldered masterpiece boards, but it's my trusty cheap hotswap that has all the miles on it - enabling the madness with every clack.
It's like how there's a different number of hot dogs in a hot dog pack compared to the number of hot dog buns 🤔
@@switchbox.studio283 I agree 100%, i would go with hotswap for most boards anyway since i can change it more often and won't have to take the entire thing apart
I thumbs up for every video that uses an excerpt from Earthbound
i recently bought everything i needed to make my first mech, hype for the groupbuys to arrive
The waiting is pain

Absolutely been loving the content, Keep up the good work Shoobs!
Damn i subbed when you posted the first part of this series. How time flies. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks for the continued support!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, TWENTY THOUSAND BRO. WE'RE ALMOST THERE!!!
I thought you meant 20k USD for a second there, and I started to rationalize the amount in my head...
I love seeing you grow little shoobs I’ve been here since before the first one
Thank you for the support my friend
LETS GO ANOTHER RABBIT HOLE VID! These are actually so entertaining.
love this because these videos are basically my whole experience with keyboards lmao. I even had the same exact blackwidow keyboard
This series is how i found you shoobs, and its absolutely perfect
thank you ^^ and glad you like the little series
These are my favourite kind of video. I watched the other 3 twice already.
New to your channel and mechanical keyboards and your channel is really entertaining and actually helped me learn a little bit more about mechanical keyboards! I think I might start down the rabbit hole soon as well :P
these videos get more and more relatable as I come back to rewatch them
love this series so much
Yeeesssss thank you Shoobs for the upload!! 🙌🏼
Yoooo, this whole video and series is fire. I finally made the jump into the hobby after watching different creators build for a little over a year. I can’t stop ordering and joining gb’s now. Haha I’m hooked. The last part of this video made my week...”letssss gooooo!” Gooooood shit! Cheers!
Built and now modifying my first keeb, I have a feeling I will be around for a while. Loved the video !
4:56 I like how rain goes horizontally. Shoobs is middle of hurricane :/
I always get asked if I regret all the money spent in this god forsaken hobby
I don’t regret a god damn thing totally worth
I live for this series.
The spreadsheet and the last self-questioning part really got me.
At least I'm not the only one lol.
LETS GOOO SHOOBS AGAIN WITH ANOTHER BANGER
"what bullsh*t names can I give this" I'm dying
just when i thought i had just climbed out of the rabbit hole that is mechanical keyboards, i get one video in my feed and i am pulled down once again...
Thanks shoobs for taking us into your hole!!
“We all know the best way is back up, yet we keep going down. What is wrong with us? Nothing, just the sheer fact that we keep looking for the endgame keyboard that we know will never appear”
"3:00 AM time to go check r/mechmarket." That's a low-blow Shoobs.
im already in the rabbit hole and i dont even have a mech keeb yet
Relatable
these are always a treat
This is so true. I just entered this rabbit hole and will begin building my first set next week. The plan was to build one keyboard, but for some reason I've already hoarded and pre ordered items for three full sets. Whats wrong with me...
That part about making a spreadsheet for how much money you've spent is so relatable LOL
Buying a 40% right now out of spite
Literally me this morning on SwiftCables “hmmmm should I buy a LEMO cable?” 😂😂😂😂
I love the contrast between keyboard enthusiasts’ keyboard with their iphone docks and floating keyboards and then you see their generic ass mouse
This is me rn tho. Cant even look at my bank account😂
I've stopped a long time ago
Hey man love this series and I hope your doing good durning covid
thank you liam! appreciate that.
Once I joined the 40s discord, I found my niche, and fell into the dark hole of layers.
You got me with the springs, why do I have need to buy all the different kinds
At the end there I was expecting a "I am the bone of my sword" FATE moment.
3:36 I feel very, VERY called out
Another Shoobs masterpiece
Thank you Jordan
man i live for these lmao thanks now I ended my night with a smile :)
"REally think I only like TKLs" -builds one, loves it, best keyboard ever!-
-eyeing the Tofu60 out of the corner of my eye- I mean...after all I could use a board for travel right? Need a board for vacations. And then that gives me an excuse to try out a bunch of new switches.
All your videos are hilarious. Big fan
It's a guilty pleasure and we love it.
POGGG NEW SHOOBS VID
Shoobs uploads= happiness for the rest of my day
okay you got me with the "im not feeling this board today" lmao
I've bought a 40% Keyboard to make a Switch Tester. So i Buy interesting Switches.
Then i buy the Switches i like.
Then i need to buy Cases that fit the Character of the Switch.
Then i need a Keycap set for this Build.
Then i find a nice Keycap set and need to find a Case and new Switches that fit for it.
Then its 2031 and the first GMK Kit finally arrives.
When the shoobs is uploaded
Using my fancy keyboard to post about my fancy keyboard while I go on mechmarket to search for more fancy keyboards
I am simply at a stage of buying key caps. If I go any deeper into the Hole I will be doomed.
Godly upload schedule
Got the noti and clicked on it as fast as I could
2:15 you called me out, literally swapping out boards as you did the bit.. smh, got eem.
the typo in the disclaimer at the beginning adds some spice.
Liking a “rabbit hole” video before it even starts. ☺️
If I go to someone's house and see a 40% keyboard, I'm running home
You kill me! No really please kill me... I can't seem to stop buying! 🤣
Spend 8 hours every day for past week. I truly have fallen down the rabbit hole
Yeah, a whole trinity!
when u spend hours frankenswitching but leaf falls out of half of them
pain
Damn the artisan part and the mech market at 3am is literally me 😂😭
3:32 - Tactile Gang - Rise Up!
just got my first board and im already planning to get the next one
TFW girlfriend leaves you because keyboards and Gundams have taken over your bedroom and are suffocating everyone
this one is too perfect!
Chyrosan22 explains what a mechanical keyboard here: ua-cam.com/video/H66XwhzhdnA/v-deo.html
Waiting to hit part 10 of this iceberg tbh lmao
The artisan ome was so relatable lol
Its never over
How do you deal with bent pins when you get switches shipped in bags? Just hope they sent a few extra and bending them back works or what? It’s kinda annoying when they could just send the switches properly packaged and not break anything… but cost I guess
Another great vid. Where did you get your desk mat?
Thank you! this is the bento deskmat from novelkeys
You can NEVER have too many keyboards
Plot twist : he just wants to show off his collection and buy more.
Thanks for the content man. You keep me afloat in this world full of shit.
I had a feeling that springs would be involved. It's about time.
Now how about getting some 150 gram and 15 gram springs for funsies?
Shoobs is epic, I hope you guys all know that
3:21 *stabs straw into a bag and drinks it all*
SHOOBS TO THE MOOON
Your camera quality has gotten much better lately. Glad to see your bank accounts still healthy.
Can you do a review on the polar panda switches
Oh how this hits home... I have literaly 1 (read one) crapy keyboard (GK64X).. yet I have six different sets off (110 each) switches.... Yes i did get two GB keyboards but it will be a while till I get them...
When you're in too deep 43029584369583:
create a youtube channel for the hobby and pop off like shoobs so you can finally pay your keeb-debt
i use an ortholinear 40% and tbh it was hard at first but you get used to it and its pretty easy to use after a while XD
Me: way too deep into the rabbit hole, can relate to everything he said
Also me: doesn't even own an MK
I feel like I'm being called out on this video 🤣🤣🤣
lmmfao!
The hmmmmm's are everything. 😂😂🤣
