- yes i changed the title what are you going to do about it
kit: mercutio 40 - $55
switches: gazzew boba U4T - $25 (lubed using the gazzew method)
i desoldered the spacebar switch and swapped it for a lavender (it sounds better now)
stabilizers: kbdfans stabs (clipped, lubed, holee modded) - $12
keycaps: white blank PBT keycaps - $30
keycaps: divinikey.com/... since a lot of you were asking
total (before shipping + tax) - $122
pros:
this board looks p clean
sounds very nice with case foam
very budget-friendly
small board; saves space on your desk
cons:
40% layout; harder to use but i adjusted within 4 days
lots of soldering (it's really not bad, just be careful)
no real case, just a top and bottom plate with a pcb and standoffs
floating keycap design (idk if this is a con, but i'm not too big of a fan of this design, but on this board, i don't mind)
Me: wtf is "thock"?
Me 7 seconds later: yeah this keyboard thocks for sure
literally me😭😭😭
हां
what does it mean
@@luanhetpin718 yes

You know it’s an expensive hobby when $122 is considered budget
bro there are so many hobbies where $122 wont get you anything lmfaoo
@@xaza5625 if you scratch build rc aircraft, you can make those
In photography, that'll buy you a few rolls of film 😂 or pay for Lightroom for a few months. $122 isn't much for hobbies. Hobbies are literally money pits. They're how you spend your free time and extra money.

@@lit_wick you know this is just kinda making me realize how broke I really am lmfao
i remember when this video was called "Yes but can your budget keyboard thocc?" and not "holy shit keyboard"
I must admit, the cardboard and so called "budget" keyboard are the best ones so far.
Ikr the only reason im here if because of the cardboard one
the cardboard keyboard is soooo good
i made mine thocc for free but it's not practical. this is for hotswaps
remove your case slowly
you can use the keeb with the case attached since battery. Or remove the battery make your own card board case with it
you are left with basically everything
oh yes the cardboard one was great
I watched this and its the worse it doesnt thock at all I have a 200$ keyboard I will buy a 500$ 300$ and 400$

True and real,
True and real,
I love that we've come full circle and now people are swapping from mechanical RGB gamer keyboards back to basically stock hardware
I consider that a big win, RGB gamer keyboards are annoying and overrated. 🎉
@@kentreed2011most of these keyboards have rgb and technically are worse by having worse latency lol. Stop shitting on others.
@@kentreed2011 i mean the main reason most of us like RGB keyboards is cause you can still see the keys in a dark room, like y r u even mad
@@kentreed2011anti-rgb circlejerkers like you seem to be more prevalent then the apparent people going crazy for and demanding rgb. Not once in like the last 5 years, let alone the last 1yr where I was building up my new pc, did I even see a single person raving about rgb this rgb that. Sure saw a lot of anti rgb hipsters tho
Just.. turn the rgb off? Set it to a static colour like most sane people?
@@ashryver3605mostly angry at rgb because the marketing for it is pure bs and oftentimes it worsens the product. for keyboards its fine to have glow, for mice it makes less sense as it makes them heavier. for mouse pads it makes even less sense and for headphones it makes negative sense.
Idk why when I hear this keyboard it gives be chills down my spine- *it's just soo good*
That's asmr bro
tingles bro
Welcome to the asmr world
You just got a tingle. Welcome to asmr community
Asmr my man
i just want to eat those damn keycaps where did u get those from
Yea they look like marshmallows
oh sorry missed this comment lmfao
i got them from divinikey
they're not doubleshot, so they're quite hollow
but there's literally 0 warping on the spacebar which is amazing
@@sbean It’s probably the profile and not whether they are doubleshot or not
@@sbean ahh thank you :>
@@Revengeeee no problemo
i might start writing my essays if i had this keyboard
yes it can
True, I see some people, especially my friends, that think they need to spend $400+ on a keyboard to make it sound THOCK
While I wouldn't like typing on one of these boards (I use clicky switches) I have to admit that the thick sound from hitting the key is nice.
weirdo
@@rizzy6087 you fear the blue switch, that’s kinda weird too
Blue switches used to be all the hype last time, things do change quickly and suddenly everyone just hates on blue switches nowadays.. Like god damn let me enjoy my blue switches in peace
is vid membrane?
@@emperana636 It’s because click bar clickies exist. Try some kailh box whites, jades, navies, or any other of the kailh box clickies
you know the keyboard is good when u hear the spacebar
Great now I want chocolate Kit😊Kat😮 bar to eat it
I don’t think u would want to say the same for corsair
@@Sinsanatis neither for croissant
I recommend lubing it with the normal method. My u4ts got a ton deeper after this, even compared to the gazzew method.
thanks for the tip, will do if i ever get bobas in the future.
I only donut dipped my springs and they're already thocky, makes me wonder how different it'll be
@@rad1ata I'm surprised that made a difference at all as the stock springs are pre dipped.
@@user-kz9rz8ui1c mine weren't predipped lol
@@rad1ata unlucky. Mine came with the springs lubed pretty well. Stock, actually, the switch has a fairly clacky signature.

This is more ASMR than humor. Not complaining though.

You know the keyboard is good when the space bar sounds good
I knew all of us had a favorite key. and that T H O N K was amazing.
thank you :D
Dat backspace doe

@@tomoyodaidouji2243 i think they were being sarcastic lmfaoo

I personally would call this Thacc (and a bit clack) because of it's lighter sound and less deep bottom-out, still a very good keeb and an absolutely desirable keeb for a budget price, I would call thocc a deep tactile sound with a deep bottom out sound, you could get this by tape modding or foam modding(A more rubbery foam is also nice) to get a nice bottom out sound, Really good keeb.
Thicc thacc thock
I think the keyboard goes with neopronouns, go ask it first
interesting.
What type of tape and foam should I use? Im new to mechanical keyboard and I wanted to mod mine soon
@@yannyyy3554 masking or painter tape is probably the best because of it not leaving adhesive on the PCB
There's no such thing as the perfect spacebar-
i would try add some foam/silicon into the keycaps it makes the hollowness less aparent
but that dampens the sound. people think they want “thocc” but what they really want is a loud and nice sound. not muted and accented.
idk why you would go straight for all the keycaps thats just time consuming and inconsistent plus clearance issues could arise just foam modding the different plates this board comes with would make it deeper and less hollow
@@ashtonskeyboards381 I don't think this board has a case
THOCK IS THOCK
@@coolbus_4585 it does not its a plate then pcb then another plate i own the same on as in the video
Keyboard-philes
🤝 “Budget” is in what you’d consider the top range
Audiophiles
This is truly a "why tf did i get recommended 8 years later" ahh video
that kit is a steel of a deal cause it looks so good
My kitten thoroughly enjoyed this video, as soon as it started playing she came over due to the sweet keyboard sounds
That's a great cat right there!
omg my cat loves the sound of keyboards too! good thing i'm making my own for christmas :3
I didn’t read the “over” part and was thoroughly confused
@@winstonthepooh9388 god dammit
the sound from the space bar is just out of this world
It sounds so great that I’ve been listening to this for 4 hours
listen to this one ua-cam.com/video/sVInBOLSqoM/v-deo.html
Imo, I hate red switches
I need a 10h version.
Basically the same setup as my Merc. Nice!
that keyboard looks good, feels good, sound good, and tastes good-
chill
@@sbean i mean it does look like marshmallows
Damn this is real thocc
I finally found the keycaps of my dreams lol
You def made Flurples proud.
"yes, but can your budget keyboard thock" was the original title, thank me later ;)
why’s no one questioning the lack of characters
becuase thocc is absolute, thocc is life
Because you live in the past.

I watched this infinite times
the akko cs ocean blues sound sort of similar to the bobas
i've never tried any akko cs switches, but i hope to in the future
there's a slight difference, but they are somewhat close
@@sbean i agree
i lubed akko cs ocean blue today. i am happy,so good
Is so much better then other "thocky" keyboard this is just beauty
holy shit keyboard
This budget build is around as much as the average keyboard I see online. My definition of “budget” is a bit lower than average, so I’m confused.
I think that's because this person is thinking from a custom keyboard perspective, so this price range is been as "budget keyboard" by an enthusiast.
For reference, custom keyboards are around at 300 bucks at entry level (cheaper ones will be made out of plastic/acrylic) and can go up to thousands of dollars, hope this helps!
It costs more to build a custom, even if that custom 100 buck keyboard turns out to not be as good as a prebuilt customisable 80-100 buck keyboard, you’re buying all the parts separately, as more stuff is available in the market and it is more established then the prices for custom parts will start dropping more, but saying that I’ve noticed that we are able to build a budget keyboard right now for 50-80 dollars
incel chinese commies - make a functional, feature rich keyboard for 30 dollars, already assembled
GIGACHAD CAPITALISTS - sell you all the equipment you need, and you put it together yourself, ten times the markup
@@FinalLuigi Don't be an Incel SigmaChaz, solder your own boards like a man. This board is only $50 for the kit & it's American designed.
Get enough Jwick Blacks for ~$10, some everglide or durock v1 stabs on the cheepycheap, and you're good for like 70 bucks. And now your waifus will actually look you in the eyes.
Sounds like a normal board with really hollow keycaps to me
it is quite hollow, and that's mainly due to the fact that there literally is no case
and the keycaps are hollow, that is another factor (but it's mainly the case)
@@sbean Having no case shouldn't play a big role in it sounding hollow, you need an empty shell to have something hollow. And if there is no case there is nothing to be hollow there
@@Daniel-dj7fh yea the keycaps are quite empty, but i tried it with doubleshot pbt keycaps as well and i got a similar result so
@@sbean maybe add some foam idk ive heard it works
What the flip I freaking need this keyboard ⌨️
I need that keyboard NOW
ik me too, he said budget so i have my eyes and ears open for twhen he says the keeb's name
holy damn man, that's insane. would this be possible to do with Modecom Volcano Hammer (V1)? I'm talking about desoldering the old switches, getting the Boba U4T's lubed and soldered, and then assembling the keyboard as intended? I really like the keycaps too, will order them later too.
H A N D I T O V E R
Maybe not like that, but I’m getting a GK61 with Anubis switches and hopefully some good stabilizers for about 150 usd, so I’m hoping it should thick very well :)
Damn i want a keyboard with that sound :(
We need an hour of just this
thocc and hollowness arent the same thing you know...
true, but it is a deep sound signature and i did add two layers of foam in the keyboard. there is literally no case, just a bottom plate, pcb, and a fr4 plate (it's almost impossible to remove the hollowness).
also, boba u4ts are thocky tactiles so
@@sbean thocky tactile literally means nothing
@@coolbus_4585 it is a deep sound signature, how else would you describe it
@@sbean I would describe it as extremely hollow, the only reason it may sound deep is the sound emanating through the empty keycaps and board
@@coolbus_4585 I’ve never seen two people so wrong in an argument. The sound signature is deep. He has high profile keycaps and Bobas to have a rich and deep sound to them. Unfortunately, they keyboard is also hollow due to lack of a case. Hollowness and thockieness are two completely different things.
out a blanket below it holy shit it will sound THOCC
You can see electronic components like resistors all the way of the edge and a capacitor on the left edge of the keyboard
Noice
I need something like this. I just have a cheapo rubber dome keyboard and it’s fine but if I’m gonna sit at my desk a bunch I want something more enjoyable to type on
I've never spent 122$ for a hobby at one go and im from a middle class family. Americans really do have different definitions of "budget" ig
the "budget" is in the sense of custom keyboards
mid-range to high-end custom keyboards are 300+, so 120 is relatively budget
a lot of people were confused by why I said "budget" at 120, but I hope you understand lol
What hobby do you have that can make you spend less than 122$?
Like that's 20 packs of Pokémon cards/ one and a half console game/ a little more than a pair of shoes if you enjoy football.
@Ig-nat-ius well, excluding birdwatching that is not as cheap as you think, you are probably right.
But that's kinda 18th century hobbies, I don't believe that there are so many people living their life by only reading (specially library books)...
you've never bought a device?
That's not bad of a price for that kind of quality 🗿
Do you think these keycaps will fit on a ducky one 2 (sf)?
yea keycaps are universal so they work on all switches practically, u have cherry mx so they will work
@@athers6126 thank you!
my budget corsair sounds light years better, and doesnt come out in gay white.
You sound kinda fruity, mate.
That spacebar changed my life
Oh my god. I love the way it sounds. If only it wasn’t a 40% :(
What’s wrong with 40%? You can use layers and some programmers actually use it since it’s more comfortable for them.
If you’re thinking about buying this, it’s a custom keyboard. I would be absolutely damned if a normal prebuilt keyboard sounded like this
@@sillowillo Because I use the FN keys and delete key quite often
I need this on a loop but the 5 seconds before the last 3 seconds I can’t help but smile with anticipation ☠️☠️☠️☠️ 💦👌
sound of that keyboard heal so relaxing
my 2 dollar one sounds nicer ngl
Yea but my 50 cent one feels nicer ngl
@@jagr2438 Yea but my 5 cent one feels nicer ngl
@@trinitynguyen3936 yea but my free one feels nicer ngl
@@lenoxzzvfx nice lololol
My on screen keyboard sounds best. No discussion.
ngl, i like the stock keyboard sound, this would piss me off to no end if i had to listen to it every day. you do you though
i love it when keyboards have no letters it’s just so helpful!!1
that enter sounded so good bro started seizing💀
How is that a budget keyboard that look expensive as hell
the "none-letter keyboard"
I was enjoying the cute sounds, but then the man at the end jumpscared me with his spit! Anyways, nice keyboard! xD
Every key press is so satisfying and i don’t know why
its so budget it doesnt even have symbols
Congrats you spent 93219432193293419493129$$$$ In keyboardas how do u feel
that spacebar sound is perfect
holy "shit" literally!!!!!!!
the poorly soldered diodes just hanging around in there lol
the sound is so satisifying.
pro's: thocky, good stabs, clean design
con's: a little scratchy, annoying metal thingy on top, keycaps are blank
Nobody talking about the number keys begin gone?
dont worry people are
This man made this video to show off his budget keeb and now has enough to get a keycult.
that first button got me jelly help
your teacher: ok guys since you know all the keys in your laptops, we will now be removing the characters so yeah
the laptops:
U know the drill. “HAND IT OVER!”
im good
i will never understand this keyboard fetish
me too,that's sounds like piece of garbage.
u definitelly customised it
The worst thing about this keyboard is when you start typing
Amd you do;mt re,e,ber wgicg keu is wgicg/
that was such a jump scare at the end 😭
This keyboard is divine.
THEY EVEN GOT THE SPACE GOOD
somehow my brain thinks this is asmr i swear
This makes me feel an emotion that doesn’t exist
I'll never understand keyboard hobbyists. to me that sounds like those keys would be spongey and unresponsive, but everyone in here is drooling
That keyboard sounds delicious
That space bar gave me chills
that pcb with led screens are more expensive than my whole keyboard right now
I have watched this video an extremely unhealthily amount of times
Really sucks that they won't ever be restocking these keycaps again
Your "budget" keyboard has a built in tv, ok...
i love how aggressively op was tapping the key at the start
Tapping at mechanical keyboard as hobby? Lesgo!
0:05 ORA ORA ORA ORAAAA!!!
My fbi agents: she really does watch everything
"What the hell is this 'thock'??"
Me after hearing one key
"Dang bro that thock thooo"
these are getting so thoccy they are starting to sound clicky
i must admit this is THE budget keyboard\
