This video was filmed in November 2021. We got sick, our editor got sick, and we almost didn't publish it at all since it no longer fit our content style. Hope you enjoy it!
I did enjoy it definitely! The quiet screaming was lol
I loved it!
yeah, you said it'd come out January 8 and when it didn't I was like
*W H A T*
If I was to build my own keyboard, would you recommend this same build lol? I'm looking for one I can make myself atm
It is still amazing I was waiting for new content and this was worth the wait
I always find it funny when keyboard youtubers do AliExpress challenges since this is the only viable way for me to have a custom mechanical keyboard LOL. I love the Akko switches.
Same I literally have the same build but with different keycaps and Akko rose reds instead
Standard stuff in Europe ahahahaha
@@tobymarol7329 after some time i had to give up ISO and now i'm daily driving ANSI keyboard - ANSI keycaps with ISO keyboard settings ahahahaha, budget hotswap ISO keyboard that fit my needs are practically inexistent, also there are only 2 budget/clone sets i know that offer ISO-IT keycaps (usually for more than half of the whole set's price lol) and i don't like them much so rip xd
@@TortelliniSRL at the moment im on an iso-de 65%, i guess there's about 4 keycap sets under 100€...
Some time on i think i will swap to an ansi board and just put the missing letters on function keys, like fn+o for ö and so on. good think most pcbs support via by now :D
@@tobymarol7329 I also searched long and wide for ISO layout, but the issue was that it wouldn't have been a perfect fit either way because it is impossible to get a swiss layout anywhere. So I just settled for ANSI and even embraced the US Layout, although it is the US International layout which has the äüö characters on the right ALT + q, y and p. The hardest to get used to was actually the switched y and z button but as I mostly type in English anyway it's actually kind of nice. The special characters took a little getting used to but it's totally fine now.
Added bonus: because I code and script a lot of stuff, having , \ etc buttons much more easily accessible than on ISO layouts, I really like that.
i should have made a flying keyboard
hi squashy
fr, they are best budget keyboard
Hi Squashy, glad to see you again!
are you backkkkkkkkkk, sus
foreshadowing?
squashy: from singapore
switch & click: points at indonesia
Man but their culture is kinda popular and bali too its popular many people came to bali from other country's
Dont judge by they look man
Bruh ye agree thats sulawesi in indonesia
If anyone is wondering about this keyboard, it is the Gamakay LK 67 and it is a good barebone set for beginners.
Personally think the Tiger Lite is better(You can get the DIY kit on Divinikey which is cheaper but doesn’t come with switches or keycaps so it’s good if you’re planning to change some stuff)
i think it is the tm680
@@mats104 actually, it's the same design of the board maybe just the software is different
It is not good for beginners! I have one and it is great but it's a real pain modding and definitely not begginer level. It's a great board tho (cost me $100 aud
Thank you for publishing it despite everything! I enjoyed it very much! And the sound and look of your keyboard gave me goosebumps!!
0:20
Switch and Click: Give a complement on how squashy can make an epic keyboard from a bunch of random stuff.
Squashy: lmao.
The amount of intense quiet screaming going on and the hype over a knob is lol!! But well done Betty, that was a cheap and high quality build...
Yeah, the hype over a knob is laugh out loud, totally makes sense.
@Safwaan Ibn Jabir Abdullah no she lives in the United states
I love my TOM680 (literally the same base board as you ended up with). Kinda crazy how cheap your bluetooth version was though.
Similar build here too, except I went with the Rose Pinks instead of the Radiant Reds for switches.
I recently just got my first gmk kit after waiting for a year. Took me less than a day to switch back to the same kind of keycaps found in this video. Weirdly enough the AliExpress ones feel better quality, have nicer cleaner legends, and sound better. Only thing I don’t really like are the words instead of icons for the modifiers
2:54
Switch and Click: RIGHT NEXT TO CHINA!
*points at indonesia while squashy lives in singapore*
Lol
I've been binge-watching videos from you and Squashy Boy for the last few weeks and this is the earliest I've been to any of your videos so far 😅
coincidence. my keyboard is exactly what you bought with the same switches, keycaps and case by accident lol
what if i told you aliexpress is the 2nd best online marketting platform on turkey LOL
😳
😳
it sucks tho
😳😳😳😳😳
What beats it
Great job on this one, I actually LOVE ❤ the colours. I recommended your channel to some people I know who wanna get to know mechanical keyboards.
Thank you so much!!
I am so glad that you released this video! I love it so much, the contents are good I love it everytime you say 'add to cart' ^^
I built my own custom keyboard from Ali-Express and not gonna lie Ali-Express has good things to offer.
Yeah not to mention the shipping is much cheaper than if I bought it locally.
My heart when squashy boy said “you are over estimating what I can do” 💔😭. I feel u
The editing was great, I love this sort of challenge videos
Glad you enjoyed!
So happy you're growing more and more at 433k now as of this post. I remember when you just under 10k. Keep up the good work!
thank you!
5:09 Seeing you pry off the battery with scissors gives me anxiety lol.
I love the merch! I know what I’m gonna ask for valentines 😁
The Akko switches are nice. I got the rose reds and I love them. Actually, yesterday I spent my afternoon lubing, they are nice out of the box and I have been using them stock for about 6 months, but I wanted the best version and it is really nice.
I also changed the tape mode my keyboard had because it smelled weird and I do use it Bluetooth often so I was afraid it might catch fire or something 😅
Better safe than sorry. I think there's a reason people remove the battery?
That was a really fun watch! The keeb ended up pretty awesome. Just wondering if you or Jake have ever used a Model M before? New-ish to your channel and don't think I've seen or heard you talk about it before!
Amazing video.. I really love your vids keep doing the good work
Glad you enjoyed!
sure did
I laughed like a loon on the lube item description although I'm familiar with those. I think they do this to improve the item's chances of showing in searches. Nice video btw! You're a cool person! 🙂
I think it’s more to do with auto translation from Chinese. You find some wild words in there sometimes “ghost wok” and I’m looking at a watch 😂
@@Stompehhh Haha! That's hilarious! 😂 The internet is wonderful!
Your actually so genuinely happy and full of joy and your enthusiasm just lights up my day. Want you to know your videos are appreciated.
wow, thank you!
agree
lol, I got into this about a month ago & am already moving on to my next setup, the nuphy halo 75; in order to test out a lot of different styles and options before deciding on building my first real custom.
Thanks so much for the great content!, really enjoying seeing all the ins & outs!
Big W’s all day brother! Lmao keep up the good work and keep grinding and I know that ur tired after all that
I've built about 4 of those board so far, it's been a customer favourite since I started building boards a few months ago
hi friend
Keep up the fire content 🔥
I think my favorite part of your videos are the elevated voice that still is the same sound level
Love the content. Keep the great work up
Thanks, will do!
I used the same board for my budget build... but paid $60.
If I got the board for $34 then my build cost would have been 94$ (not counting lub and tools) and I upgraded the stabs.
Gateron Milky Yellows. I paid $16.50 but they are like $17 right now. You only need 75 max.
Durock Plate mount stabs to replace the poopy ones. Only $9 on RingerKeys.
Upgraded the plastic knob for an AliExpress $2 aluminum knob thats twice as thicc.
And went with Happy Planet caps from Drop, at the time were only $32... now $36.
How have you found the keyboard? I've been looking around for keyboard parts so I can build one myself
Ah yes...the TM680. It's great after modding for its price.
Looks great. I might do the knob metallic blue myself. But it still looks great overall.
This is so cool! I’m wondering a keyboard to get next, do you have suggestions switch and click?
2:54 squashy lives at singapore... and you pointed the arrow to indonesia. close enough i guess
Sulawesi Island haha
Bruh lol
western people when southeast asia:
I was like, wait.. Squashy boy lives in Sulawesi?
@@miekoyee yeah i also thought that squashy boy go from singapore tovlive in indonesia🗿
That was fun, glad I found your channel. I spent over $250 on a custom IBM M 101 keyboard in early 2021 and I would be thrilled if there was a way to convert to modern mechanical switches.
I absolutely love the subtle Mario Paint music in the background lol
Nice idea.that sound of akko reds is too smooth!!! well done!
cheap but good shows how hard work can go a long way
Almost $40 for shipping? Hilarious! I guess it's much cheaper to send something from Aliexpress to Europe than USA because I have free shipping pretty often when ordering stuff to Poland.
i think it's the US's fault, shipping from/to US is horrendously expensive in my experience
@@aonodensetsu they also tax Chinese products like crazy
It might also be that she did express shipping. Otherwise shipping to the US actually isn’t that bad.
That's what I mean by keyboard on a budget! Nice, beautiful colors, and it sounds great. Personally, I also love Akko switches. Your lowkey shouting is gold 😂
lol thank you!
you absolutely crushed this competition
How is their "cheap" keyboards sounding so much better than mine 😢
bruh mine is 120$ and this sounds better!
This is what always makes me wanna watch her videos she responds to her comments and her thumbnail attracts me always
Just a random guy in comments
@just a random guy in Comments e
@just a random guy in Comments æ
@just a random guy in Comments ooh cool fact
@just a random guy in Comments yed
The quiet screams are the best, so much emotion!!!
haha thank you!
the stabs that came with my tm680 were pretty much perfect out of the box. Not sure why they were so good but it was a pleasant suprise.
I thought they were a scam too... I really don't believe that anymore though. About half my caps and switches have come from them, and they've got some of the best sales around right now, stuff I've been eyeing for over a month is half price right now. Some stuff is over priced. Some of the most bad ass key cap sets I've got I got through them (only 1 in so far two more sets on the way)
imma buy the merch Betty not because of the custom keyboard giveaway just because they look so cozy and good and I like the designing with them. C: :D
Thank you!
The audio upgrade from the vid to the merch plug 😯
Grats on the channel glow up
thank you!
Every time you upload it brings a smile to my face
What timing, I just received my Akko tester from AE! They're all amazing but now I want the expensive demons... Great vid as always
We all know its a good day when Switch and Click uploads...
Especially when squashy boy uploads his perspective 1 month before this
@@rubenmcq6583 lmao
A new video, LET's GO!!!!!
My favorite thing about Betty's videos is the chaos.
I don't mind this style at all. It's like ... how would things look like if Betty got one too many keyboards to do. 😂 Seriously, it gave me some good chuckles!
hola :)
Wait what how is this first I don’t even have notis on I just saw it in my recommended
My keyboard is only from alliexpress as well. Im happy with my choices. Great video though as always.
Yes!!!~ another upload!! I also love red switches for starters.
I literally thought at 2:58 Betty has a fire extinguisher on her desk in case she lights another keeb on fire with a questionable mod, but it's a water bottle x'D
love the energy
AliExpress has everything! Love these challenges!
"what is cheaper than black" 💀💀💀
'Look it has a knob! People like knobs' - Betty 2022
even a lot of the stuff on esty now-a-days is just ali express sellers putting a markup on etsy for the same products they sell on ali express for quite a bit less, and they still ship from china anyway.
Yeah let’s go, switch and click with another banger!
make a video where you guess a persons key switches only based on the sound, would be fun!
Yesssirr i was waiting for a vid like this
Squashy: "the stabilizers are soo goood"
Switch and click: "I knoww"
Akko switches are great for the price. Gotten Ocean Blue, Jelly Blue and Lavender Purple. Nice tactile switches. They're clackier rather than thocky, but I like them.
I was waiting for this type of video to come soon now its here so thx also noice video ngl
thank you!
Just going to say, thanks for these keyboard modding vids!
You're welcome!
I currently use Akko cs red’s for my ep84 and they sound very good so nice job with the switch’s 👍
I love the lowercase yelling
Hey Betty, saw your stream last night on the WindX 65. Do you know when it’s going into GB? The geek hack only says an instock phase 1/15, which obviously already passed. Very much enjoyed the stream. Ty!
I practically lol'ed at Squashy's keyboard. And he didn't even explain what happened! Anyway, good video, this.
I'm sure I heard "Pissy Bee" at some point. Great vid
We waited so long for this video
ive always wanted to build a custom keyboard but never had the cash. question do you hve to have the right keyboard for the right keycaps???
The fact that she removed the battery with a pair of scissors
Love your keyboard builds. keep it on!! love from Korea
Thank you! Will do!
From where I live, it's always sale on online shops when 11.11 like in the video, 12.12, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, and so on. Basically every month has this "black friday" sale 🤣
Hey switch and click just a question will the keycaps work on a razor black window v3 65% keyboard
I think I speak for all of us when I say *DANG, BETTY*
Yay another amazing upload I can feel it
Hi there Betty, I had a couple questions for you. I'm currently copying what you did in this video and was wondering how you were able to get the volume knob off? Also how long did it take for your silicone to settle? And did you tape the back of the PCB?
Kinda frustrating that creators just like comments without answering them. I think it may have something to do with engagement and the algorithm etc. Whatever the case, i hope you managed to complete your build just fine.
this was VERY intense....
Especially when facing a smart Asian like Squashy
YESSS FINALLY!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!
Happy birthday!!
"White is cheaper than black" that killed me 🤣🤣
Go I think this is or is like my 1st keyboard the GamaKay LK 67. Did your stabs fit or did you have to file down the frame? My stabs got jammed :'(
also i need to replace the pcb component that controls the bluetooth/ wired control... It...ah....broke.
lol I really enjoyed this video! Had to laugh a lot about your funny reactions :D
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey could you try to rate the drop alt low profile key board and is it worth it?
Have to say that the customized keyboards are much cheaper in the PRC compared to the States, and they have really fascinating quality (but most of them cannot bought from aliexpress but Taobao
That made me feel the anger
The cat just sitting on the desk: yeah i dont give a
This board is basically the factory unbranded version of the tom680 right?
pretty sure it is
A.k.a oem product
Hey, I just wondered that, does the kit have cherry style sockets?
Funny how you avoided the knockoff keycaps but bought a knockoff Gamakay L67 hahaha
I’m getting a keyboard but how do I use lubricant because I’m getting red switches
Hello, your content is pretty good! I have a question. What switches is good for thocc?
P.s if im write somethink wrong, sorry, im dont know english language lmao
