Thanks! There's no foam inside

yeb 👍

thanks! :)

You're beautiful!

@@shibekeebs =)

haha I'll take that as a compliment

I absolutely adore those pics btw!

@@shibekeebs it’s a beautiful build!

half of the stream is me tuning stabilizers lol (the pains of building a full size keyboard) feel free to skip around!

@@shibekeebs I am replacing my stabilisers in a little (using the apparently trash stock ones) so I’m just learning how to put them together, throwing them in and I’ll change them in a couple weeks or something like that. No point tuning the stock ones that I’m going to replace right?

@@thereaper8593 all up to you! depends on if you can bear the stock stabs for the time in between lol

@@shibekeebs11 of the key caps are broken so no keyboard for now but thanks for the vid to keep me entertained without demanding all my attention.

@@thereaper8593 ouch! How did that happen? Also, thanks for watching! It might be a little boring tho haha. Hopefully I can get back to making more content since I'm out of school for the summer!

@@shibekeebs thanks

They are the clip in neo stabs that came with the board 👍

@@shibekeebsthanks I subbed

If what you're asking is if you can plug in everything and use it without the stabilizers, yes, you can, but the larger, stabilized keys will be very wobbly, and the spacebar will be close to unusable 👍

@@shibekeebs gotcha. Been thinking about building my own, so I'm a bit of a newbie at this

I personally don't find the macchiato's top out to be similar to that of mx blacks. If I were to compare their top out sounds, macchiatos are much louder and higher pitched. In comparison, the top out of the mx blacks are rather subdued. If you're concerned about getting a proper top-out sound, I'd go ahead and try some, but if you're looking for the full, midtone top-out of cherry switches, then I would recommend skipping these switches :)

It's all about preference! Sometimes I get tired of my loud boards and opt to use my silent one until I feel back in the mood 👍

I really appreciate the elaborate comment! While I'm quite young compared to the history of computer and keyboard technology, I've certainly heard tales of the primitive forms of home computers, as well as the rich history of what are now considered "vintage" keyboards. I find it particularly interesting to see how influential early forms of the keyboard are. Cherry spearheaded the hobby of mechanical keyboards into what it has become today, and their early products are still well renowned and sought after for their irreplicable quality of switches. I find it incredible to see how this niche hobby has rapidly evolved over time, yet pioneers of the mechanical keyboard still hold their charm after so many years. Still, there is undeniable passion in this community to pursue the appeal and nostalgia of early keyboards. This video is one of my oldest, so my perception of the hobby was quite premature. I keep older videos such as this one to remind myself of the simple-minded curiosity that led me into this rabbithole. In the point I reached in this interest of mine, however, I can truly appreciate the hobby for its artistic qualities and rich past that it represents. I find myself very fortunate to have stumbled upon this rather particular hobby!

appreciate it!

nope! Just alu plate and pcb gaskets

Thank you sir!

lol it really does

@@shibekeebs you should put that in description or in search terms so others can find this video !

@@LilithDaydream I'll try loading up the next one haha

many thanks!

same!

playing around with the spacebar switch messed with the stabs a little. I'll be sure to fix it up when I rebuild it 👍

It's the KBDFans "Japanese Style Deskmat - Black A." I bought it from Keebsforall, but it seems they removed the listing for it as well as KBDFans themselves. The only place I could find it was from KBDFans' aliexpress store, but they're all sold out 😢

@@shibekeebs awh rip, thanks for replying!

@@shibekeebs sorry for replying twice, but is the deskmat big? around how much

@@stephqnos I always try to respond to comments when I can! The size of this deskmat is 900x400 millimeters, which is also the standard size of deskmats.

@@shibekeebs alright thank you so much! looking forward to buying it

Indeed, there are no system specific keys! The layout is called WKL, short for win(dows)-key-less. The only reason for the layout is for aesthetics, as many (me included) like the look of wkl and also don't use the key very often.

yeb 👍

@Animoxiteis eat 👍

wowow!

Thanks!

return of the king 👑
