      nah, I met a lot of people who were using office keyboards for so long before getting into the mech scene. they happily regret it. Probably you are referring to those people who game a lot. There are also people who just don't play that much and are fascinated with nice keyboards. Specially programmers.

      @@evilkamatis542 nope gaming had little to do with it. It's common sense though. You start at bottom-level mass produced keyboards. You want something better so you move up to expensive mass produced keyboards (and macro support). Then you move up to group buys (and qmk). I'm not saying people won't skip steps here or there but without any outside influences this will likely be the path that people will take.

      @@xtdycxtfuv9353 Well the thing is the way I started learning Japanese (which definitely wasn’t very affective but it did give me a base to start off with) was with Duolingo. They didn’t teach how kanji really worked but I would just go with it and remember that you read this character with the vocabulary term instead of thinking of what the kanji meant. Like I remember seeing お願いします (onegai shimasu) which means please and I didn’t think of the kanji itself and just thought as if it was a part of a word.
      From there I learned more about kanji after I felt comfortable with the vocab I knew. I then went on CZcams and watched a video on Japanese by a channel named Langfocus. He showed me how Japanese works structurally and a little history which helped me understand the origins of kanji. I then realized how logical kanji after watching a few other videos and before I knew it I stated being able to read.

      @ToyKeeper Před 2 lety +4

      @@gabe_dunn I got started on fancy keyboards way back in the 90s... and tried a whole bunch of different styles and designs. Large, small, split, joined, tented, flat, ergonomic, concave, convex, mechanical, touch sensors, cheap, expensive, row-staggered, column-staggered, ortholinear, rectangular, odd-shaped, etc...
      ... and I've found that a lot of the stuff people get excited about is just hype. Some of the best keyboards I've used were things most enthusiasts would laugh at. And some of the worst keyboards I've used were expensive premium models.
      In the end, the ones I'm happiest with are 65% to 75% size rectangular models with open-source firmware, quiet tactile switches, and "entry level" price tags. For example, the main two I use daily are a Whitefox and a NK65. Switches are Hako True and TTC Bluish White. Keycaps are stock Whitefox (Cherry profile ABS) and a cheap DSA PBT set.
      But when I use regular cheap mass-market keyboards, I don't hate it. They're usually pretty decent. The thing I miss most isn't the nice switches or caps... it's the firmware. I've gotten a little spoiled by being able to remap things however I like, and features which simply don't exist on regular keyboards. So the main thing I look for in a keyboard now is whether it's supported upstream by one of the major firmware projects. Everything else is a secondary concern.

    - The late stage when he switches from staggered rows to staggered columns.
    - The late stage when he gets into deep customization of the firmware.
    - The even later stage when he switches back from staggered-column to 65%.
    - The bonus stage when he switches from qwerty to dvorak / colemak / workman / etc.
    - Bonus stage 2, where he uses a different keyboard every day so his mechanical friends won't get lonely.

    Ive had a razer blackwidow for like 7 years now, what is the diference between a usual mechanical keyboard like blackwidow and the ones that we saw in these videos, does it feel smother or faster?

    • @khryogenic
      @khryogenic Před 3 lety +1

      TL;DR - Custom mechanicals can be smoother and faster while also providing a more pleasant feeling and sounding experience.
      The smoothness and speed all depend on the switch that you put it in the board. The two biggest draws for going full custom (IMO) are the customizability of the board (which encompasses both the speed/resistance of your switches and the feel) and the sound.
      I've got a build with 62g tangerine switches that have been lubed and anything that is stock prebuilt feels rough and scratchy to me now (though I haven't gotten the chance to try out the retooled cherry switches).
      As far as sound goes, that comes from a combination of the case, the switches, whether or not you have sound dampening foam, the type of plate that the switches are mounted on, and some other factors I'm probably not thinking of.
      An entry level custom build can be done for around $250, so I would definitely encourage anyone looking to get into the hobby to start by getting a switch tester to find the right feel for yourself first.

      @@tiagopires6769 Yupp. The pieces generally being a case, PCB (usually bought as a pair with the case), switches, keycaps, and stabilizers.
      The space has gotten more beginner friendly recently with the addition of hotswap PCBs, so you no longer have to solder your switches to the board.
      Of course (as alluded to in the video) there are several 'necessary' purchases that you 'need' to make like lube and films for your key switches, and things can quickly spiral out of control price wise if you aren't careful.
