Looks like some folks believe that I support products like these fake panda switches by reviewing them, but I strongly disagree. TLDR; me reviewing a counterfeit product does not mean I support it, especially when I clearly say so throughout the review. I mentioned twice (7:12 & 9:56) in the video that I don't believe you should buy them and that products like these hurt the mechanical keyboard community. I also stated - the quality control issues this product has (2:05) - that the description is copied from Drop's website and it is shady (0:54) - that I would rather go with other switches instead (6:22) - that my link to this product is not affiliated (10:03)
tbh i understand what those people mean .. u bought them u gave them money they made a profit of that justifying their counterfeit, but sometimes people have to do this to show why counterfeits are bad .. and why people shouldnt get such products
You're in an interesting area. You still bought them and still give people the info to buy them and are basically advertising for them. But you also admit it's unethical, admit the quality is lower, and don't recommend people to buy it. It's due to the former that people are hating on you, but tbh you're just being honest and reasonable. Anyone can buy sketchy off brand stuff without you, and while your video still likely causes more, not less people to buy them, you're perfectly honest and transparent, and if someone wants to buy them, while it's not ideal, it's not the end of the world. These products exist in every industry and every location on the planet, and people will buy them. Your video was specifically on a BUDGET keyboard you delivered; anyone wanting to build a budget board wouldn't be dumb to get the real thing, they'd be unable to because of the budget. "If I asked my friend about making a budget board, would he recommend sketchy switches?" Some people will answer no and some will answer yes, but the reality is a good number of people would build a budget keyboard with these switches, and it's not a bad idea if you're low on cash, aside from the obvious moral dilemma. It's up to the individual to determine if they are ok with the morality or not; it's their money and their product.
'Holy panda's dont exist, they dont get made in a factory and cant be failed or anything. theyre a frankenswitch they are copies, there arent really holy pandas that get made only companies like glorious stealing the name

Who care if it is fake pandas.. since drop is greedy i would support fake one more and who cares about high end quality when u are building less than 100 dollar keeb
Niiiice, I just got into mech keeb hobby but I kind of regret it because i spent so much money. Maybe my opinion might change when I do receive my GMMK Pro and another one I ordered.
FN + ~ then FN + right arrow key to change color, once you have chosen your desired color. Click on keys you want to have the LED color applied to. you can see the current colors blinking on the ~ key.
The link for the keyboard case doesnt lead me to the keyboard and it just leads me to the banggood website. Can you respond to my comment with the link for the keyboard?
with tactile switches you generally want to use thinner lube with them and apply a lot less lube than you did, that was too much lube for a linear switch!
@@minimalistik positive????? bruh glorious tried to take the name holy panda and then trade mark it, they only didnt do that because of the back lash, and then drop got the trade mark because glorious backed down, buying from feker or from glorious or feker makes no difference because at the end of the day they are just little 14mm x 14mm cubes
Title should be, "Building a Cheap Chinese Keyboard with fake Chinese parts". I don't support these kind of video that support counterfeit product. UNSUBSCRIBE.
lol did you even watch the video? I mention twice ( 7:12 & 9:56 ) that I don't recommend that anyone buys them and my link is not affiliated so I don't benefit from it.
Do you realize that almost everything in this hobby is originally Chinese? Switches, pcbs, cases, plates, keycaps, etc are all commonly made in China. Are all of your keyboards produced by Salvun or is a Korean custom with GMK or Signature Plastics keycaps and have Cherry switches? "Cheap Chinese Keyboard" and "Chinese parts" my ass
Counterfeit product? If we talk about it like that, Holy Pandas are copy paste with improvements of Cherry Browns (a big improvements LMAO). GMK is just a bit of art touched made keycaps that are copy paste of an OG Cherry keyboards keycaps. Even keyboards for computer are stolen as an idea from typewriters. Jesus that comment is just cringe asf.

I love budget builds!!!
tried those fake pandas, and for the price you pay, they are actually every good
stock everglide oreo sounds AWESOME 3:30
May I ask how did you know that your krytox 205 is just a clone? Is there actually a difference?
If I'm a complete newbie, am I ok not lubing?
I have an Imac will this keyboard not make my mac sleep?
i bought about 110 of them and there werent any broken legs...ldk maybe damaged during shipping?
Fun fact : these switches are not counterfeit, they are failed holy pandas. Don't feel bad for using them
Fun fact! There from Feker, a company who copied Holy Pandas, literally they did! The put Invyr on them then changed it.
what do you mean by failed?
They didn't pass the Q.C., probably are deemed defective by the manufacturer
'Holy panda's dont exist, they dont get made in a factory and cant be failed or anything. theyre a frankenswitch
they are copies, there arent really holy pandas that get made only companies like glorious stealing the name

what do you think about the Pulsar PCMK TKL Keyboard Barebone?
I got a question can these go into the gk61 keyboard? It's only switchable with gateron switches so will this work?
the gk61 only supports optical gateron switches. But, If you have the gk61x, then these would work.
The link isnt working could you tell me the name
I bought this board for 44$ at Aliexpress. The one I got is south facing. It seems to have 2 versions north facing and south facing PCBs.
whats the link? Looking to get one
Who care if it is fake pandas.. since drop is greedy i would support fake one more and who cares about high end quality when u are building less than 100 dollar keeb
Hi!
the first link doesnt work, is there any other site that you can get the base from?

Where can I buy the tkl? It’s not on Banggood anymore
Does anybody know what type of case
That the switches stick out of the keyboard
Do u mean low profile cases?
@@buddhasleftnut598 yes thank u
1:1 Xtrfy K4 case kinda.. slight changes on the bottom :D
what is the official name for the kit?
It's a Feker TKL hotswap kit. A 68-key version is also available. I see them being sold on various online platforms.
The link for the keyboard case doesnt lead me to the keyboard and it just leads me to the banggood website. Can you respond to my comment with the link for the keyboard?
does anyone know affordable white keycaps?
or black
how do i change lighting with the keyboard
with tactile switches you generally want to use thinner lube with them and apply a lot less lube than you did, that was too much lube for a linear switch!
Its really hollow. How do i open this case
i think you need to wedge the side from the back, i have ordered this keyboard and will arrive soon.
jimme yeah i managed to open it with a pryer!
I still can't open this thing. :/
Do you know how to change the rgb?
How to disambble the board?
Hi guys, what's the fastest switches for cs go, valorant? Gateron yellow or there's better one?
there is no such thing as a "fastest switch", Gateron yellow is the lightest of the Gateron variants.
@@apesyb9812 He could mean lightest and/or lowest actuation point.
Gat clear is a very light swicth and kailh has a speed switches which might be what your looking for
Switches don’t matter for games unless you’re playing rhythm games. Just buy some reds from whatever switch company and you’ll have a light switch
reds
Please make a review for GK73XS
so this keyboard can use 3 pin switches?
Yes

Definitely! As well as supporting a company that has a positive impact in the mechanical keyboard community!

@@tomas8742 those are halo trues not holy pandas xD
Glorious Pandas are pretty decent and while not cheap ($75 for 108x), they are not going to run you over a dollar a switch like legit Holy's.
did you check drop saw them there for about 45$
thx man this is so helpfull
uf clones. Happy I have original
I bet! 😅
A tleast its tactile switch and not clicky And I Love White and pink
