    Join me for a soft-spoken ASMR guide to building your own mechanical keyboard! In this video I show you the basic components and steps required to put together the custom mechanical keyboard of your dreams, no soldering or prior experience required; this is something anybody can do! Drop has kindly provided their SHIFT keyboard barebones kit, Halo True switches, and GMK Red Samurai keycap set for today's video. I hope you find it both informative and relaxing!
    ASMR triggers include ear-to-ear soft speaking, occasional whispering, incidental mouth sounds, unboxing sounds, tapping, and typing sounds. I recommend listening with headphones for the best experience!
    Special thanks to Drop for providing the product samples for this video.

    WHAT IS ASMR?
    ---------------------------------------------------
    My videos are designed to trigger a relaxing feeling called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a particular sensation that some people experience when they hear quiet sounds like whispering and soft speaking or watch certain actions like slow hand motions. ASMR is often described as a pleasant tingling on the head and neck, accompanied by a feeling of deep calm and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to relax and manage anxiety, stress, or insomnia. To learn more about ASMR, check out asmruniversity.com/about-asmr....

    At 1:32:46, I believe the character on the “Escape” key cap is 「侍」, which should mean the warrior class of “Samurai”! Which would be very fitting considering the name of the kit itself. Please correct me if I’m wrong though, I am still learning.

    This was super interesting (and relaxing), especially the part where you were talking about and fiddling with the switches. I also loved when you talked about the red/blue switches in the french whisperer's video (which is how I found your channel). Could you do a whole video talking about/comparing different switches?

    I'm really sad, they're not going to do a Drop Shift high profile. That was going to be my endgame. So limited in 1800 layout hotswap custom options. So glad you've done this video though. I love it.

  • @AhmadIbrahimAD
    @AhmadIbrahimAD Před 3 lety +1

    as an MK enthusiast I'm not gonna lie I winced when I saw you use dielectric grease on the stab housings. Might I suggest other thiner/purpose made lubes like offerings from krytox/trybosis. otherwise cool build and great asmr :)

    • @theASMRnerd
      @theASMRnerd  Před 3 lety +1

      Ah crap did I accidentally use the dielectric grease on the stab housings in the video? I usually use the thinner synthetic lube on the housings, and the dielectric on the wire, but sometimes I accidentally get my lube tubes mixed up. I know some people don't even like using the dielectric on the wire, but I've never found it to be a problem. I'm typing on the board in the video right now, and the stabilized keys don't feel gummy. The way I see it, the lube on the wire is mostly to fill the gaps so that there's no rattle, and the dielectric seems to do a good job of that. But you're right, I should probably just order some Krytox and try it out and see if I prefer it.
