It's so cool seeing someone making videos about this hobby without incredibly fancy camera gear and lighting and glossy music. A real breath of fresh air
I'm very new to the channel and I'm super glad his videos got recommended to me. Though on the other side it made me consider spending a lot of money on keyboards
You are honestly one of the greatest UA-camrs ever. Even though you don’t have flashy editing, a regular upload schedule, or fancy cinematic footage, somehow you keep me engaged at every second of the video. You are funny, creative, and have a great personality. Thank you so much for these videos. Keep it up; you will certainly get at least a million subs.
Wow, the editing is immaculate. It's so fun and hilarious - different from what a lot of folks are doing and it stands out! Someone like me, who isn't usually interested in Keyboard customizing, can suddenly be drawn in because of your unique and interesting edits and personality! :] This is inspiring to me - I hope to see some more great content!
When the mini trebuchet has more tactile feel than the "tactile" switch you're launching from it... Feels like victory over fake tactility! Tactile gang rise up!
If you're only looking for the keycaps, just get one of the early G81s. They use the Cherry MY switches, which use MX-style stems so the keycaps are exactly the same, yet the boards are much cheaper. The older ones (the ones without the win keys mostly) also use PBT double-shot or dye-subbed keycaps, which are entirely resistant to yellowing. I'm currently typing this on a set of 40+-year-old cherry keycaps that literally look like they're brand new when cleaned. According to the older Cherry catalogs, they made a lot of ABS keycaps, but I've looked at a lot (and I mean a lot) of vintage Cherry boards and so far, I haven't been able to find a single one with ABS keycaps, at least in Germany. As far as using Retr0Brite (or just plain Hydrogen Peroxide, I don't get why anyone would buy the more expensive stuff. It's literally the same thing), most people recommend using a UV lamp, as it's much faster and gives you more even results than relying on sunlight.
I found your channel through the PewDiePie vid and even though I have no idea what anything you're talking about means, I've binged like all your videos cos you're just so damn entertaining
i've had my first mechanical keyboard now for atleast 2 years and only started getting into getting different keycaps and switches for it. now i have just found the best channel that covers all of that.
I like your keyboard, I just wish it wasn’t missing keycaps and if the retrobrite had finished I think it would’ve looked a lot better, but I do like the retro look
I remember watching your trying mx browns video a year back when you only had 5k subs and now you're all the way at 200k! incredible growth dude, keep up the sick keyboard content good man
What was the name of the keyboard that he used I’ve always wanted to create a build with a kind of retro style keyboard but as u see from this video buying a vintage keyboard is a bit too risky. If any1 knows please reply
@@speartackle Oh I'm past prebuilt mass produced boards. Only limited GB's and custom tuned switches for me. Just looking for another board to add to my collection
I found an old board more than half buried and with roots growing between the keyswitches one I pulled it up. It had been living behind the place I work since 1990 or so and appears to be pre-retooling MX Blacks. Most keys actuate though roughly, some very very smoothly. I'm going to disassemble them all and clean them, soak any metal components in naval jelly, then lube and reassemble and put into a cheap board I picked up online.
Well the dirt actually gives a certain kind of grip on every keystroke that you just cannot get from regular plastic compounds, not to mention the vibrations caused by the dead skin particles that give a one of a kind depth and thonk on every bottom out.
Congrats on the KiwiCo sponsorship. We have the subscription from them for our baby. She loves everything that gets sent to us from them. That said...nice budget boards!!!
Yo that keyboard made me think of a custom board I made in 2001. Half AEKII, half Dell Quietkey, half Chicony, hand wired into some random keyboard controller, with a hacked up top plate, and hot glue and Sculpey clay to make everything hold together. It lasted 2 weeks.
your keyboard sucks

Hi wildcat :3
Hi :3ild 😺
Omg wildcat I’m a fan
Wildcat!

Also someone with a personality. Shoobs is the only other entertaining keyboard channel i know of.
You can't spend a lot of money on camera equipment if you spend all your money on keyboards.
And still have way better quality content.
cough cough taeha
damn you just gonna diss taeha and wildcat!?
Dat algorithm bump yo. Came for the pewdiepie keyboard review, subbed and watched literally every video you have uploaded for the comedy
Same, he's awesome. I feel like understanding keyboards is only optional here
Same. Then went and watched all of the Daaave content too 😅
Same here, don't understand shit, would be nice if he made a beginner explanation video

How we found it
welcome to the toture room
Bro same
Lol same. My interest and knowledge extends only to I know I prefer them to non mechanical yet I can't stop watching his videos. Just so good.
Glad that the channel is finally getting the recognition it deserves
Road to 1 mil
He was at 100k a week ago, and that's crazy. He 100% deserves it.
he's on the road to daily driving an mx brown board for a month

CATAPULT, NOT TREBUCHET
Been here since 18k... I'm so glad this channel is finally blowing up!!!
I never say this.. but I kinda love that you have a sponsor, anything to keep you making awesome videos I'm all about.

Yo same not you same lol
Same but I frond videos on my Home Screen cus I had nothing better to do
Please, glarses, never stop uploading. Your videos are all bangers!!!
I literally burst out laughing at the sight of the "finished" board with a missing caps lock key and 8 and 9 keys
i've had my first mechanical keyboard now for atleast 2 years and only started getting into getting different keycaps and switches for it.
now i have just found the best channel that covers all of that.
Glarses is a modern day Icarus. He just flew too close to the great keyboard in the sky.
Was just going to say the same thing!
I don’t know enough about keyboards to know about half of what you say bro, but I love it you’re so entertaining
This was brilliant as ever. Your growth is well deserved. I'm not even that mad about custom mechanical keyboards, but I love your videos!! 🤣
Brilliant as always, that 75% retro vintage keeb is a working man's keyboard. Hats off to you sir
i like how he uses his ironing board as a desk for mechanical keyboards
I've been here since 50k subs. I'm glad this channel is finally getting the love that it deserves. Keep it up!
Those keycaps really play with the light well. Would cop.
Pog
i have zero understanding of anything mechanical keyboard related but i've been binge-watching your videos all day and i have no idea why
Bro you are supposed to be uploading more often now. Lets get to it, 3 weeks is too long!!
This is one of the only channels I've watched every single video of. The comedy is pure gold!
I like how squashy just run into the wall
I like your keyboard, I just wish it wasn’t missing keycaps and if the retrobrite had finished I think it would’ve looked a lot better, but I do like the retro look
You bought a lovely vintage board, that's an automatic win. The win that matters.
Enjoy the oldschool goodness, bro.
*Gets notification glarses uploaded another video*
*Instant chills*
I don't know 70% of what's happening in this video, but I feel like I'm learning and it's entertaining, so I see that as a win!
HOW TF YOU GONE UP 140K IN A MONTH? RESPECT THE GRIND!
The Pewdiepie video blew up 😁
For the first time I’m happy with YT’s recommendation. Everything in this vid is truly great content 😂
I see you went with the Gat Yellows. Interesting choice. You realize you could have mixed Halo housings with MX Browns to create Holy Shit switches.
I remember watching your trying mx browns video a year back when you only had 5k subs and now you're all the way at 200k! incredible growth dude, keep up the sick keyboard content good man
Yes! More Glarses posts!
i watch so many retro toy restoration videos so you had no idea how excited i was to see you use retrobright for the keycaps
who else read the title as the challenge being "hold a $200 custom keyboard"?
just me?
ok
6:05 Oh man, I know it doesn't look that good, but... This keyboard is giving me a sweet vintage/retro feeling and I want it!

ngl, glarses finished keyboard had a pretty cool aesthetic
At 6:17 glarses’s headset wire lines up perfectly with the wire on the wall beneath him
thank you for cheering me up during finals season

6:17 perfectly lined up cables
This channel is growing rapidly and his vids are so high quality
You and Michael Reeves have the same energy! And I love it
Ah yes, compressedmale. My favorite right behind glarsers
Glarses is popping off with these frequent uploads
It's 4 am for me 8 minutes can't hurt it's glarses risk and reward time
he hearted my comment and i slept through it 10/10 would not recommend sleep
Should've done leaf swaps with the leaves from the switches in the reevo
1:20 I can’t forget that moment with the dog logo
POV: you thought this was a new video but glarses just edited the thumbnail

I seriously recommend the G-LAB 19,99€ keyboard, you get sick RGB, mechanical keyboard sounds and membrane precision and feel!
I loved this video idea, would love to see a much less scuffed version in the future!

Sounds awesome hahahahahah
I literally thought the key caps were wood from the thumbnail.
imma be real i kinda like the I found this out the dumpster look
also I think this should be a series. it was really fun to watch
this man is quintessential college student, literally using an ironing board as a table
I love how you're using an ironing board as a desk
Man loved the ending! I need to get one of those catapults :)
As always, the video was very entertaining. Good job mate
I keep rewatching your videos because I want more Glarses content
I think this is the perfect video since these are the three sole keyboard youtubers that I watch
“May the best man win, given that is me, i hope you guys fight for 2nd and 3rd”
And it was this exact moment, that he shot himself in the foot
please make this a series with other people and different Budgets
if you were to ever sell merch, i would definitely buy some to support your channel. love what you do man!
all my favourite keyboard youtubers in one video
3:28 nice, I too like reading fantasy books while waiting for stuff to dry
This is the battle royale we deserve
Not big on ads... Or sponsored ads by youtubers...
But...
OMG GLARSES HAS A SPONSOR!!! YAY!!!
I love how Glars just accepts that his learning was basically none despite having such a traumatic experience.
It seems like one of those experiences where one would learn the wrong lessons to be honest. If that makes any sense.
BRUUUUUH I LEGIT THOUGHT THE KEYCAPS WERE MADE OUT OF GOLD IN THE THUMBNAIL OMG GLARSES WHYYYYYY
Glarses' was easily the best board of the bunch
Read the offer something like this?
"Sewage disposal facility keeb - only one week in use - almost new. We ditch it for TKL - It's a steal!"
he is basically the smart cool kid
Petition for an aesthetically pleasing deskmat
the ad was actually very entertaining. i don't know how you do it.
i almost spat water everywhere when i saw glarses throw the mx browns out the window
Compressed male is my favorite UA-camr
i love your AEsthetically pleasing background image
1 million subscribers soon!!
Glarses on the end part throwing out of the window brown switches me Glarses is a good boy
Your a great content creator. Thanks for existing
I'm not even into this level of keyboard, but it's just a fun channel
I don't understand half of the words you're saying, but it's entertaining seeing people suffer.
Legend says that that cherry mx brown was the first switch to land in the moon.
