  6. I like that cycle, given ROI on a YouTube video projects is often lacking 😄
    Such a change in thonk too from those keycaps!

    p.s. have you seen the Wooting keyboards? analog switches using Hall effect sensors for adjustable actuation point… I'm interested in picking one up so will consider PBT caps for that THONK.

  9. Whatever you do in the privacy of your own home, sure. In public, though, there's just one ideal keyboard sound: silence. Seriously, the sound of those keycaps sets off my misophonia something fierce and I had to watch the vid with sound off (because I still love a good keyboard build vid).

  10. Update on the Printer: I’ve done more prints since this video was filmed, and so far this printer is solid. I’ve only used it on PLA (an easy material), but I’ve had no bad prints or failed prints at all… I’ve been impressed. If you have > $600, there are better options, but if you want something around $200 and will mostly print PLA, I think it’s solid and worth considering.

    Frankly, I’m just happy that budget printers have gotten better, so more people/kids/schools can get them. Past budget printers gave the tech a bad reputation, this one doesn’t.

  11. This is an awesome project. Sounds really great, and looks amazing. Love how you started down the path of custom keyboards, and zoomed way past the level of depth that the vast majority of us in the hobby are at. I should expect no less based on the content of your channel.

    I've used mounting putty as well, to slightly deepen relatively thin keycaps. I remember reading about it a year or so back as a method to try.

  12. amazing build! I want to ask you how you approach going into a rabbit hole? I often jump in just to find that I don't know anything about where to start and mostly get scared of the amount of time I could invest. Anyways, great video as always, cya!

  13. Great build! I cant even think of a real criticism for this one. The design looks slick and professional. Also great to see you branching out to different areas of engineering, like acoustic.
    Also also, Seems like youre uploading a bit more frequently recently, dont want to jinx things, but youre getting a creative streak recently?

  16. I keep on waiting for the janky part of the build. It looks perfect, and then after 7 minutes you show the back and bottom and I'm like HA, I knew it!

    It's so relatable and I don't know, it just really funny to see someone with so many cool skills. The sound though is something that was really cool to see being changed by all those things. The putty definitely made a big improvement. I would say though that listening to them outside of the casing and inside would be a major change as well. Have you tried it without the putty inside the case?

  18. pretty cool…hmm i don't really like tact buttons…why not just have your numpad on another layer?
    if you want to make the tact buttons look better i think there are also little caps that can go on those too.
