Building my QK65

- If it sounds like I'm talking into the back of my microphone, it's because I am.
I couldn't wait to build out my QK65, so instead of doing it on stream I just decided to go through the build process in a video. Custom keyboards aren't that hard!
I really like the in-depth build discussion. I will have another look at this before my QK65 arrives.
Nice, informative guide! The QK65 will be my 3rd build and your guide will surely help all the first time builders for what looks and sounds to be an amazing entry board.
Thank you so much for this, I had no idea where to begin and other guides were confusing too. Helped me out a ton! Keep it up!
Thanks for this, I've learned a lot about mechanical keyboards from your vids!
Thanks for the video! I will be watching this when I get my R2 group buy!
Thank you for the great step by step. Used your video to build my first one. Loving the qk65
when did you bought it?
Nice, maybe thinking about getting one of these and this was informative, thanks for the vid.
Man, thanks a lot for your guide. It was the most straightforward tutorial I've found about QK65. I've build my kbd thanks to you! Have a wonderful day
I'm happy the video helped! Enjoy your keyboard!
i hope to see more keeb vids in the future coz this was a really good watch!
glad you enjoyed it! this channel is honestly just a weird place to dump videos that I feel like sharing. but i like keyboards a lot so there's a chance you'll see more keyboard stuff in the future. thanks again!
gotta check if the plate foam is sticking out too much, if so , please remember to tuck them inside the bottom case ( the casted alu piece)
Thank you very much. Subbed !
what are those black arrow keycaps, and thank you very much for the build guide
you're welcome! the alphas are a set called GMK Pixel, and the modifiers are the "blocknet" modifiers from GMK Laser
i like it
Nice! I hopped on with r2, unfortunately I'll have to wait another 8-10 weeks before it arrives, do you know if r2 comes with included stabs?
it looks like r2 should still come with the owlstabs but are classified as "free gifts", which means if they just happen to be missing, or are damaged, they won't be replaced.
Okay good to know :)
@@__sil finnaly got my qk65:)
did u not cut out the pe foam where ur stab stem hits? it feels mushy if not
I didn't, actually, and you're right, they do feel a bit mushy. I'll cut out the stab holes the next time I open my case.
is there a video or guide showing this?
in the background, is it GMMK Pro?
It is!
Does it come with the plug to plug it in?
The R1 kit that I got came with a coiled USB cable but I decided to not use it since I already had one that I liked!
Is the pcb 1.2mm? Or regular thickness?
The stabilizers didn't come with any spacers so as far as I know it should be a standard thickness for the PCB. I didn't test it with other PCB mount stabs, though.
I'm pretty sure it's 1.2mm, but the Owlstabs are compatible with it. Atleast that's what I've gathered from the Discord.
where tf do u order/find qk65s?
it depends on where you live actually since qwertykeys will either fulfill themselves if you're in the US (i think), or you would have had to go through a regional distributor. since i'm in asia, i had to go through swagkeys. with that said though, i have no idea if there's still stock of the QK65 anywhere and you may need to wait for a future round if they do another one again. but as of this comment the QK80 is about to be available for purchase so you might be able to grab one of those if you don't mind the TKL layout.
