I am equally so happy and so mad that I got into this hobby.
I hate this hobby. It is an addiction I can't seem to shake. it consumes my time and money like a leech. Time I will never get back. And all that I am left with is plastic rectangle and an eternity of regret.
@@mariokartwii6663 mfw plastic. Me n my baby full alu tofu84
@@nword3026 So you have alu keycaps and switches? nice!
@@mariokartwii6663 But seriously speaking, is the hobby really addictive?
@@normalguy7877 yes. Once u set ur eyes on another board or new switches, u will feel insatiable hunger gnawing at u, until u make the fatal mistake of buying and building another board. An endless, merciless, ruthless hellish cycle where many and cursed to relive
if 200 is budget i’m officially homeless
In the custom keyboard community, it is. you can build custom keyboard to match your budget though.
It really is budget.
Kbd67 lite kit - 109
Akko switches - 2 packs, 20
Keycaps you can get something on amazon/aliexpress for like 30 dollars, not including lube or other tools as they are basically with you forever so you can build a nice board for a 159, for a custom thats a steal
He said custom. For a mechanical keyboard it’s not but if it’s a custom mechanical keyboard then it’s budget
@@sajers and lube, a brush or 2 if you don’t have any and a switch opener if you want to lube your switches
BUDGET GANG BUDGET GANG BUDGET GANG P.S. You looking mighty handsome
oo
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hipyo im a fan
Nice
Hipyo, I am going to make the best budget rk61 will boba T42 fit in a rk?
hipyo x hamaji (real) ???
Ah yes them akko switches are pog af
Pog

I SAW U TRYING TO GET BANNA SPLITS YESTERDAY I TRIED TO TOO😭
@@bjholland8322 I got them though on the second drop before they did a group buy after
@@ItsTrain luckyy and congrats
Hamaji Neo: Gateron Yellows are the best budget switch
Akko CS: Hold my lube
To be fair, Akko switches are 3 pin switches, whereas Gateron Yellows are usually 5 pin. 5 pin is preferred to prevent keycaps from looking crooked. This usually only happens on the stabilized keys though as those cutouts are usually elongated and sometimes oversized to allow different layouts (plate included). If you were to use Akko switches on that, then you would be having to check the straightness before and after soldering.
All nylon yellows are still best I would say. They are the same price as milkies but definitely a fair bit smoother and the all nylon housing gives them a really desirable sound profile.
Yeah but Gateron Yellows are almost half as cheap
@@b3xr0bl63 well at least where im from akko cs switches are 20 cents per switch while the yellows are 23 cents per switch
@@bobbyportis886 Interesting I have to dig in more maybe I just got a really good deal
yo that half opacity thing at 2:12 is the most creative thing i've seen in awhile

hamaji as a ghost still making keyboards be like:
The good thing about these akko switches is it comes in a box that can act as a lube station for the bottom housings, perfect for newbies who just want to try out lubing without dishing out the additional 10-15 bucks for a lubing station.
i just used bowls my first time lol
Great way to recycle the box as well
Lubing stations are not at all essential to try lubing
I can just make a lego stem holder because non box switches fit in a technic piece
Good tip!
It’s so nice seeing budget Keebs that aren’t just Gateron Yellows and still sound amazing. Great work as always!
I made my ~140€ board with milky blacks. It pretty dope
Imo the pink switches are better than the gateron yellows both before and after being lubed
@@Daniel-dj7fh i have a 150 kbd67 lite with carrot switches
I knew you were gonna use these switches eventually
This video is a godsend! I’ve been trying to build my first keyboard, and I’ve been trying to make it budget! I even was going to use the ktt roses! This video was the review that I needed! Thank you!
you cant even buy the 67 lite rn
@@batmansteel778 yea, but I was looking more for the ktt rose review. I already have an idea for the case and pcb
@@vasubanga1040 those arent ktt rose those are akko rose, they are both made by ktt but they are different
@@adar7218 I thought that ktt roses and akko cs reds are similar
Same, what are the parts?
You can eliminate the Ping of Green Machas by lubing the top housing. Its definitely a steal!
This is so informational. This is a wonderful video for beginners. Doesnt drag on, and keeps the viewer encapsuled. Wonderful video, Hamaji
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much :)
I really needed this thank you! 🙏🏼
"Budget Build"
cost: 199
me: bruh gonna use some cheap ass keycaps
it's still a budget build
Yeah I chose to do a super budget build with a RK 84 hotswap, ymdk Pudding caps and some Tecsee Purple pandas. I had to buy all the modding supplies first time so my total was way higher but for those 3 core items, it was like $145.
If you can buy a hot swap Keychron for 80 usd. then buy switches form china for 25. Or if you can solder and have a 3d printer you can the housing and a arduino from china for 30 and the switches will stil be 25.
My budget plan was, buy an rk61 $65, then buy the akko pink ones $10, and I already have lube and a brush. Keycaps I found a grey and white one that costs $25. Total: $100
@@noobnub7305 you need to buy 2 sets
I like that see-through thing you did when pressing the keys. Cool effect
That really blew me away, really nice effect!
It's nice to see something cheap and clean, good work hamaji!
@Caleb Aikin compared to most keyboards in the hobby, for a keyboard this nice, this is pretty budget, if you don't like the price then just don't buy it
@@jonlovesbagelsthis is still ridicliously expensive, the keycaps are 50% of the 200$ price.. Think about that. You are paying 100$ for keycaps and 100$ for the kit and switches and stabilizers. If you were to just buy a not ridicliously priced keycap set it would be around 130$ that's budget.
@@sinu9226 But let’s say that your using those keycaps and the keyboard for 2-3 years, and you love the board there’s no reason not to get it. Some people are into the mechanical keyboard hobby and in the hobby 200 or below is considered “budget” and if they are going to keep using the board and they love it, it’s not a waste of money
@@jonlovesbagels but they keycaps are still waaaay too overpriced smh.
@@sinu9226 so what, it's not like you are buying them, you buy them because they look nice and you want them, if you can afford them and you decided that you wanted to buy them then go for it. People always regret buying things, but if you don't regret it and you keep using the keyboard for along time it was worth it.
More people using the Akko CS Switches making me happy!
Noice
Same Akko in general needs more attention
@@owwahow Yes I agree but meh. Idk if you know but they've stolen keycaps set designs in the past so although I like what they do, I don't really want to associate myself with stealing art/work
@@ditwii everyone loves clones and fake keycaps in this hobby, myself not included, i’m on ur side
@@ditwii yeah, i don't even see why, there are so many boring sets being made and making it past IC, they can just choose popular colors and mix things up and accidentally create something people like
just recently finished a budget build with akko cs matcha greens and i must say... wow! They do indeed sound amazing (especially with some case foam imo). The springs did make a teeny bit of noise with mine too but that completely went away with lubing, so I can honestly still recommend them as the weighting of the rose reds is too light for me.
Great Video. Good Sounding Board. I loved seeing the Karambit Slaughter
I love the editing job on the switch pressing, seeing the switch underneath the keycap is really cool!
The Akko CS switches are INSANE for the price! I love my rose reds!
I use Akko CS red roses and love them, quiet as hell. they don't sound the same on sound tests you really have to hear them in person. I'm honestly super happy with them. 10/10 recommend
This video is great, finally you go into deep detail and tell me every item I need to build. Thank you.
Love your vids Hamaji! You have really helped me scratch that keyboard itch. Thank you so much!
Got that randomfrankp mouse pad🔥
been wanting to pick up the Akko switches and I think I might have to after this vid.
Finally! You used the Akko CS switches I have been asking you to look into them for a while!
I like these kinds of videos. They're serious and clear about what they're trying to show in the videos. Subscribed ever since this video was released :D
This would be easily attainable if only these kits were in stock most of the time.
Like almost every other mech. Part
When are you planning to flip it for $700? I'd be willing to buy. Stan Hamaji lesssgo boiiis
such a nicely put together video 👍
if i can, i am DEFINETLY going to try to get the parts and build this, seems awesome. keep the good work up hamaji!
That keybored looks so clean for $200!
yeah except its not 200
more like 300+ right ? The case/board is 120 and unavailable, keycaps are 90, stabs 30, and where is all the rest. Even after the board is available this is 300+ and u better have the lubing tools already.
I’ve been watching these content out of nowhere and I’ve learned a lot.
And what’s embarrassing is that I never made or bought a new keboard wich means I’ve been watching these just to get jealous
very pog build
i love this type of style, please use more of this style
I am currently waiting for my rose reds to arrive, when they do I can finally finish building my first ever custom mechanical keyboard, I'm so hyped now that I saw this video and heard once again how the switches sound!
Me: looks down at my wallet*
My wallet: just end me already
bro thank you. ive been looking for good budget switches. thank you
thank you so much man you really helped me get into the hobby and find the right keyboard for me :)
Yesss you're using akko switches love it
i got so hyped when you mentioned the akko keyswitches (i love the akko blues)
I wished akko made more iso de keycaps, and that those they have were in stock
Great video! Love how you thorough you are going through each step. What would be some comparably priced cases to the KBD 67 Lite? (For those of us who missed out on the GB and wanting a good quality beginner board) 😉
Great video, those Akko CS switches sound super good in that KBD67 Lite, might have to try pick one up if they do extras for the R2
I’m actually so happy you’re using the Akko CS Switches because I’m using them for my first ever build they’re on the way rn but no one has ever used them
Got into the waiting list. Almost the exact build! Kbd67 lite r2, Akko cs rose and GMK Bingsu!
just the vid i needed
the production quality is sick!
ur edits are insane and always shocks me
Nice work the board looks really clean
Thanks hamaji, i just bought those switches asap
oh noooo i have the matcha greens and i love them! great review! love your videos!
I did something real similar for a budget build for my nephew. Also used the KBD67 lite, but gateron CAP milky yellow switches, durock v2 stabs, and epbt charcoal for keycaps. He loves it.
Yessss, finallyyyy the akko switchessss :)))))
Ooooh that sounds good dude!
Very high quality video 👍
i recently got a new keyboard for my birthday (huntsman mini) and recently also got into custom keyboards but sadly dont have the money, this really helped me with my options with a tight budget, thank you.
i was hoping someone gave a deeper review of these switches! Thanks! i do like the aesthetics of Matcha greeen!
That transparent hand and keycap for comparisons is brilliant!
those sound amazing, more budget builds!
yo i'm glad you are showing akko products, people sleep on them mostly and they're pretty decent
finally CS switches! theyre amazing for the price
I needed this
Dang, its always a good day when hamaji uploads a budget kb video
Those akko switches are brilliant. Finding out how cheap they are is just a bonus!
dude , this is clean af
Very happy to have another member in the akko switch gang
I’ve had Akko switches for a month or two and I love them
Tysm for this build I think I will make one myself if I can with my budget
Finally, somebody big in the community reviews the Akko switches they are surprisingly amazing for sure!
My cs matchas arrived today and bruh they sound so nice :)
Akko switches are a godsend! So good for so cheap.
Definetely gonna get this one. :))!! would have liked to see the Greens Lubed tho
LOL i actually recently joined Hamaji's discord server and showed my budget keeb on one of his sub-channels saying that he should do a video on those Akko CS Switches, and he actually did it, im so happy rn
FINALLY he reviews the akko switches, the rose reds feel and sound way better than gateron yellows so I recommend getting them instead of yellows
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Well done, bro!
I remember you commenting on some video saying how clean the switches are. They sure are clean AF.
Bro this sounds amazing af and you see me with putting some ocean blues in a red dragon k552
those akkos clean af
Wow that thocc is actually insane for the price
I’m truly happy that I found the Keychron Q1-Knob. I can game on PC, switch to Mac functionality for programming/workspace, & modify everything from components to key binds. It’s everything I need and want.
Finally, hamaji using akko cs
So happy to receive my KBD67 lite. First (and hopefully my last) custom keyboard. Pretty happy with the price
that spacebar is funky
i'm now using akko cs matcha green, lubed them and the sound is deep thocc. and yes they are smooth
Akko switches are amazing. I got a pack of lavenders for my osu simpad and they are buttery smooth and make tapping in the game so nice. When my parts start coming in for my keyboard build I'll make sure to give lubing them a shot.
akko cs' are really underrated in my opinion, they're one of my favorite switches
finally an Akko CS switches
i got gok bow recently too. just as a basic backup set plus i needed white spacebars for arisu. i was surprised how large the legends were though lol
it’s a good day when daddy hamaji posts
I like the sound of the key board very much
very nice switches
akko cs switches are definitely my favorite budget switch
This is hobby has led me to procrastination because sound test are just too satisfying
This sounds holy
that sound smooth
finally some cs switches
Hamajineo can you try a keyboard with KTT Roses, Silent Alpacas, or Kailh Silent Box Pinks? Basically a silent build!
I just realized that akko cs switches are the ktt switches lol my bad
That transparent ghost hand is prime!
Hey, could you do a budget build video about the Idobao ID67 in the future?
Really love your videos. The video quality is superb as always!
