  1. great keyboard! just a tip for anyone not just you. you shouldn't mix two different greases or two different lubes or a grease and a lube. just pick one and lubricate whatever item you are lubricating with the one. its obviously fine to use 2 different lubricants on separate stabs but i recommend not using two lubricants on one stab. if that makes sense.

  2. I think you forgot to lube the springs of the ink blacks because I could hear a distinct pinking even with the thock, and those stabilizers still need some work, but other than that great keyboard!

  3. I think the stabs are overlubed, which is normal with dielectric grease, I would have just stuck with 305 g0 or even holee mod them, other than that the even the switches are a bit overlubed but must feel smooth, cable and keycaps are sick.

  4. I'm not a keyboard connoisseur, but that sound test sounds a lot like my membrane keyboard from 4 years ago. I thought people wanted mechanical keyboards partly because of the more mechanical sound.

  5. came back to this video years later after spending $450 on my own custom keyboard, and i gotta say it was worth it all and a great and fun experience, would recommend it to anyone who has the money to spend on a keyboard.

  6. ‪People giving me shit for the price of the keyboard 😂 ‬
    ‪Oh you’re into photography? How much did that lens cost?‬
    ‪Into car restoration? How much for that new transmission? ‬
    ‪How much was that guitar? ‬
    ‪That custom PC?‬

    It’s a hobby, and stop worrying what other people spend their money on
