Great video once again! Im a sucker for budget builds. Im really hoping to get in on the newer kbd67 lite and kara coming out. Those are going to be some really nice budget keebs.
ew no it needs to have an anodized case with brass weights, weighing at LEAST 20 pounds, without the weight and 40 pounds with the weight, it also needs a brass plate too, and it needs super duper hyperlubed holy panda switches with custom made housings that you have to order 2 years in advance and get every single keycap as an artisan for it to even be CONSIDERED MILDLY a keyboard
Not really, you can make any sub budjet board sound better than very expensive ones with no work done to them. Tuning is everything, not money itself in this case

This video is what REALLY got me into custom keyboards. I have literally been watching everyday before going to bed in anticipation for when my keyboard parts finally arrive. Thanks Hamaji Neo :)
This is perfect and i love that it's right in the budget i was looking at. I couldn't find any videos where the board looked any good so this was great. Thank you! I'm hoping to use the keyboard i build with my first proper gaming pc. Though i may go for a more budget option of a prebuilt that has hotswap optical and use spray lube on the switches for a budget great feel.

I'm guessing from his proficiency in English and the accent that he is likely from either SIngapore or Hong Kong? He said he's from asia and he definitely has a slight English accent so those are the countries that make the most sense imo, probably Singapore though.
I’m not sure if you’ll ever see this comment, but when it comes to plate mount stabilizers and them rattling because of them not fitting well with the plate, you can always add a little bit of fabric tape around the stabilizer hole in order to make them stop wiggling in place. You can take a look at 3ildcat and his modifications to off-shelf keyboards. I do it as well-have a few vids myself giving stock keyboards a facelift.
I recommend buying a prebuilt keyboard and slowly upgrading it over time. I got a smartDuck XS84 75% keyboard for 50 dollars. Fully RGB and it came with outemu reds. Very nice sounding stock. I put foam in it, planning on lubing the outemu reds or maybe upgrading them to a tactile.

This video helped me soo much since i just got my first custom keyboard but i only had a 120USD budget the keyboard came out really nice thanks for the help :P
1:13 i bought a Drevo Tyrfing v2 with Outemu browns a while ago (then i returned it cuz i found an awesome deal for a durgod taurus, but it was really nice for the price) and it is a whole tenkeyless keyboard with hot swappable switches for less then 50$. i think it's a really nice starting point for custom keyboard instead of buying cheap barebone case and pcb and then adding keycaps and switches. one could change switches from the start, then keycaps later and so on.
I'm pretty sure that theres a brass plate for this board floating around on aliexpress for around 40 bucks. The amount of upgradability on this board is insane.
I definitely don't have the money to make a keyboard. I definitely don't think I'll buy one until I get a desktop. But this is an insanely cool community.
I love flat/uniform keycaps, it gave us the freedom to place whichever caps to whatever position we want without worrying about the look, perfect for compact keyboards where the keys are quite limited. And since most compact boards (except the very cheap ones like the very recent CIY Tester84, Tester68, or other unrecognizeable brands) are available with softwares, those are a perfect combo. For example, the default keymaps of my Daxa M71 Classic doesn't have a dedicated Menu and a separate `~ key. Moreover, I almost never have any need to use the Pause Break and Insert key so it's a no brainer decision that I immediately replaced those two with the keys I mentioned before + moving the Home and End key to the 2nd rightmost side of the keyboard (the default mapping of Home and End key of this board are on the top-rightmost side of the board, above the Page Up and Page down keys). Sculpted keycaps like OEM, Cherry, SA, etc won't let me do that without looking so weird. Personally I won't go for sculpted caps anymore unless it's for either Fullsize and/or standard TKL boards.
They also make an aluminum version for like 20 bucks more which I think is very worth it. I did one with Kailh box jade switches and pudding keycaps from HyperX. Feels super solid after adding some foam to the case and bandaiding it up. Super cheap, looks great, and has surprisingly good rgb for only costing like 150 bucks total after shipping. Would definitely recommend it before buying a huntsman mini or ducky one 2 mini just because of the customization
But it is not so fun building 100 board after 600. I really recommend people buying cheaper custom, then more expensive then just something more excotic and then even more expensive. It is much fun like that. Personally I love hotswap Men these yellows are so tock. Oh it is plastic case. GK61 somehow sound tocky
plastic and acrylic cases do tend to have a deeper and more "thocky" sound when compared to metal cases because they absorb more of the higher pitch sounds. That's why I prefer an acrylic case to brass :)
If you are having trouble with some ticking on a stabilizer, here's a way to reduce it. So I clipped my stabilizers on my Redragon Fizz k617, I just wrapped tape around the part of the stabilizer wire where it connects with the stem, afterwards I added some lube, I tested it and it actually stopped ticking, although it was still ticking but at least rattle was reduced by 80%

7:32 I like how you explained the difference between lubed and unlubed and then showed a comparison.

Really good idea, I considered this heavily. If you have a little more to spend, get the BM60 RGB pcb from KPrepbulic with one of their kits. That'll set you back $85 with switches included. All you would need to do is get some keycaps on the cheap. Only downside is things take a while to ship from KPRepublic. THe main benefit of the bm60 pcb is that it is QMK/VIA enabled.
