The end of the mechanical keyboard hobby...for me
It's been a good 5 years in this hobby, but it's time to end it. The joy has died out and I built my end-game keyboards a long time ago. Before I clean out my collection, I'll be rating my keyboards and telling y'all what I've learned about my keyboard preferences.

We all know how long GMK wait times are, and some keyboard group buys can take many months. However, more and more keyboard parts are finding their way to Amazon, and it got me thinking: can you build a fully custom keyboard using just Amazon? Turns out, yes you can! But I don't necessarily recommend that you do. If you're on a tight budget I think it's fine, but you can get the same/similar pa...

    Majority of people in this hobby are really just shopping enthusiasts, for the hobby to have more depth it requires conversation and activity around PCB modifications, swapping out SMD LEDs, adding pass-thru USB connections, flashing/building firmware. Otherwise it's nothing more than Aliexpress addiction.

    I've been stuck on Durock 3 stage 21mm 56g springs for a while now. Being triple stage, they feel even heavier than a typical 63.5g long spring found in a lot of stock switches and more akin to a 67 single stage long spring.. The big reason I like them, though, is the ultra snappy return. Makes for faster typing when double pressing keys, such as the word "school" for example. Great video. Enjoyable, informative watch!

I think I am going to go with Kiwi switches in this. Going to see if I can get some foams from Stupidfish. Great video!

    Aside from keyboards.... I had this same microphone a few years ago. Got rid of it because the buzzy quality it had going on with it (not a pun about the name). Just seems to always sound a little distorted as though it's constantly peaking. I instead got an Aston origin microphone which is just incredible and comparable with £3000+ microphones I've used in studios. All this to say... Maybe consider switching it if you can? Because I can definitely hear those same defects in yours 😅 Oh and great video btw! Really love the content, just thought I'd share that insight

    very informative great video for sure. I started with 63g spring as my first keyboard build, the first thing i notice is typing is very nice, bouncy and the key "hugs" my tip very well. but as soon as i went for gaming, I just don't have the sustainability for it. It could be my fingers are used to whatever the spring the previous keyboard was using, or just personal preference.
