That Enter key sounds horrible.

aifei 8/10 gmk?

48 minutes of mods, I’m in heaven. It’s always my favorite part of these sound test videos. Gives me the most ASMR feeling.

Honestly the sound test of all time

that's a cool looking board. WAY too big for me but I like it. Been looking for a nice Raw Alu board, if this was a 70% would jump on it.

Wow, your dedication to these videos is insane. Over an hour of sound tests is unheard of. I mean, other channels have done hour long typing videos, but it’s just one board, one mic, slow typing for an hour with very little editing. This is over an hour of edited typing with different configurations, mics, plus mods.

Sounds great! For some reason, I couldn’t tell much difference between weights, stainless steel was slightly higher pitched? how would you describe the difference?

This looks and sounds so frickin great. What the heck. Striker on pc is nut material

Does qk configurator support layer tap like qmk/via?

So niceee

Ah yes, sounds sweet, love the brass weight config. Would like to see hear them on some L+F cherry black hyperglides :) Honestly, this is what the NekoGO should have been. But wait already have a ciel60 lol anyways, I thought chickenman proto'd with the Jixte and released the CIEL or is it the other way around? But man... I am jealous of that PC Jixte. Right now, I'm just waiting on the Moonlight. I think it's going to be my only chance at a quality Gummy O-Ring 60% PC board.

Overall, I think that the board is a decent case base, but it begins to suffer from a few shortcomings right from the bakeneko design not being changed a whole lot. Something I don't think a lot of folks mention is the placement of the RGB LEDs in relation to the bottom part of the case. There are two select spots where you can notice dimming, and this has to do with the placement of the daughterboard and the battery effectively blocking the LEDs. While the battery has some reflective material to compensate for its blockage of the LED, the same cannot be said of the daughterboard. All in all, this leads to a dim zone on the left hand side of the board on the front region. Something that could be done about the design is to have a dedicated channel for the battery to slot into such that it does not directly lie under the RGB LED and adjust the wire as necessary so it can connect to the PCB. And, to adjust the spacing of the LEDs to have two that surround the daughterboard instead of having the single LED lie directly above it. This may incur an additional cost of making an additional LED onto the PCB, but it heeds attention to detail and gives the product the finishing touches it should have had before being released. As for ZMK, I think that the lack of a GUI environment like VIA was a mistake for this product being the first notable release in the community. It needed some more time in the oven for that VIA-like environment to come about. I do, however, think that ZMK is an interesting project on the technical side on account of its dependencies (Zephyr Project) being backed by companies in the business of microcontrollers and wireless comms devices. I think we're just paying the price of early adoption and things should look up for ZMK come this time next year.

Damm! sounds so good!

it's a shame that the brutal didn't get much love. It is a solid board for the price and just needs a little foam to reduce the case ping. I usually see it top mounted but sounds great burger mount as well. But, I'm impressed with your JWK Splash bros. Wow! Those JWK's usually have some leaf tick but I didn't hear any. Awesome vid!

Figured I'd release this as I was writing a mini "review" for this board on the CannonKeys website anyways. I came into this wanting a cheap 60% aluminum keeb that I could foam up for that foamy sound signature, and I achieved what I was looking for! It's not super pronounced, but it definitely is pleasant to my ears in real life. I'm happy with the board and the build, even if the board IS 5 years old, but $75 ($90 shipped and taxes to me) for a b-stock Brutal60? If you have the correct expectations and know what you're getting (don't expect to use this foamless because of the hollowness), there are way worse options out there. At the end of the day, all that matters is whether or not you like your board anyways, and I certainly like this one. I'll be using this board as one of the boards I use in my updated ABS keycap sound comparison video (hence why I was searching for an alu board I could foam up). Still working on finishing the edits for the PP full plate Muramasa sound test video (not 2 hours this time, a bit over an hour), so stay tuned for that! Appreciate the views as always.

Really neat to see you try Ceramic keycaps. PBT or ABS, mold thickness, and such have always had some affect on sound signature. But Ceramic is a whole different beast. I haven’t got to try them myself but have seen quite a few videos and comparisons at this point. They seem to DRAMATICALLY change the sound of any build you put them on. If they start becoming more widespread I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new keyboard sound category pop up dedicated to ceramic keys and what switches/boards/foams to pair with them.

Great job bro!

Damn anodized looks nice. You selling this by any chance?

I dont think the PC is CNCed, i believe it is injection molded.

The alphas sound good but the mod keys are a bit thin for my preference.

Not a fan of PC spacebar buuuut this one pairs really well with the alphas

Wow your friends nekoGo came in fast. Mine was suppose to come today but got delayed. Hopefully tomorrow. NGL, sounds pretty good with the roses. Nice eclipse btw. was thinking about picking one up when it was on sale last month but I was able to score a Navi so ended up not getting it. I heard its a it a bit hollow, only reason I didn't pull the trigger on it

Did you figure out if original internals like the daughterboard can be used?

Just reiterating what I said in the video - This is my friend's BakenekoGO, and we recorded it at her house, so I didn't have the mics and keycaps/switches/supplies I usually have to make a sound test with a bunch of different plates, switches, configurations, and with various mics. I'll be borrowing this video in the near future for an updated "60% O-Ring Boards And Why I Love Them" Part 2 video (both a sound test compilation and a voiceover video like the Part 1 videos) though, so expect a bunch more different configs and mics as per my usual sound tests when those videos come out!

wow! this definitely sounds better now :) Kudos!

Another awesome and thorough review (with all the disclaimers anyone could ask for)! I’m excited to be getting my set whenever they ship!

Originally part of the DCD Hundred Acres review video, I figured I'd split this and upload it separately. Feel free to use the KBCompare link to listen to the four keycaps with the same mic (Lewitt 040 Match pair in AB config): kbcompare.com/test/W6q6M7

This was amazing. I have never seen someone do a better review on keycaps and its not even remotely close.

Living up to your name with how much effort was put into this video. Insane work

This is the 100th video of the channel! I appreciate everyone for their support. You all are the reason why I even got this opportunity to review this keycap set. Not every sound test will mimic what a keyboard sounds like in real life. I suggest listening to other sound tests and taking everything with a grain of salt. Remember, even if YOU record your board exactly how it sounds like in YOUR room it doesn’t mean that it’ll sound the same on someone else’s desk, in their environment, to THEIR ears. I am not a professional, my room is not sound-treated, and a lot of my boom arms are attached to the desk that I am typing on. I do not do sound tests to be as accurate as possible and portray what a board sounds like perfectly in real life. This is something I do for fun! I will continue to improve my sound tests with better lighting, video, and audio, but please do not take my videos as professional-grade or “how a keyboard with this config will sound like”. I hope that using different mics will illustrate that depending on your mic, you may catch higher/lower frequencies better than other mics, and some mics sound naturally “brighter” or “darker” than other mics, even without any filters or any sort of post-processing. ___ Sound Test Specs - Recorded in an untreated room, so background noises can sometimes be heard (and outside noise) - Glorious 4mm thick desk mat on a solid wood desk - Panasonic HDC-TM90 Camcorder - Audio normalization in DaVinci Resolve for easier listening, but no other sort of EQ or alterations were made to the audio - Recorded in Reaper and rendered in 24-bit/48 kHz - Audio interface sample rates at 48 kHz ___ Mic specs - Lewitt 040 Matched pair of small diaphragm condenser mics in AB configuration mounted on a mic stand not in contact with the desk that I type on running into an Audient Evo 8, gain set at 2:30 - Rode NT1 5th Gen condenser mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on running into an Audient Evo 8, gain set at 2 O’Clock - Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on running into an Audient Evo 8, gain set at 2 O’Clock - Samson Q2U dynamic mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on using USB mode, gain set at 45% - Samson Q9U dynamic mic mounted on a boom arm attached to the desk used to type on using USB mode, gain set at 45%, no filters or mid-boosts on - Google Pixel 7 Pro mounted on a gooseneck mount not connected to the desk used to type on - The Samson Q2U, Samson Q9U, Rode NT1 5th Gen, and AT2020 are in some way attached to the typing desk.

wow! I had this board before. Now I regret giving it away. It sounds really good!

Oooo, that definitely cleaned up a lot and brought some life back to the board. I like how your short sound test is almost a length of my full video 😂

I love this project and the previous one so much. There's just something about bringing life to old things that brings me joy. You knocked this one out of the park! :D

I made an error! I mentioned that the frankenswitches had an MMStudios POM top housing, but it's the bottom housing. The top housing was from a Cherry MX red switch. I had these frankenswitches left over from making another frankenswitch for a future project, and I didn't want them to go to waste. Had to use Geon Black Linears to fill up a few spots. I also did try tape modding, but it didn't have the effect I wanted.

Absolutely based, I had no idea you had a YT channel but hell yeah this is awesome to see.

TL;DW - buying a new and/or expensive microphone for sound tests probably isn't worth it unless you've been wanting to upgrade your mic for other reasons like work calls or gaming. Same goes with sound treating your room unless you live in an empty room. Your furnishings are probably good enough, especially for keyboard sound tests

Obviously, you can use photography clamps or other methods, and you have to move the rubber bands so you don't solder them on accident, but yeah. Figured this was somewhat useful if you have rubber bands laying around!

Exciting stuff 👀

ktt roses always a classic budget clack, super clean!

A friend wanted me to build this for her, after she got it 50% off from the Cannonkeys sale, so I obliged! Especially since I've known Funderburker/Emils from the Toad V2 I bought from him and his friend many months ago. Also, looking forward to making these review vids! I'll be sure to put my special touch and longform/in-depth version on them to try and set me apart from others. Hopefully, that'll result in the videos being useful

Best sound in the world

My morning just got a whole lot better! Thank you for this smol quick video on the Longest Boi.

❤ Beautiful intro Hugh

Why did this get reuploaded?

This is why I subscribe to your channel. One of the most underrated keyboard channels out there. Almost 2 hours of sound tests is insane, in a good way. The mods section flies by in an instant.

With this board and this comprehensive of a sound test you are definitely HubertTheMad 😅😅

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LOWER YOUR VOLUME BEFORE YOU FINISH THE VERY LAST MODS AND KEYS AUDIO CLIP! I FORGOT TO LOWER THE OUTRO MUSIC, SO IT IS LOUDER THAN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. Also, regarding the Q9U audio clips, it seems to have picked up both my neighbor mowing outside and one of my computer fans dying (sadpepehands). As stated in the description, I hit the 5000 character limit, so here are the rest of the specs. Also, trying to get chapters/timestamps to work. Dunno why they aren't working on this video (yet) while they've worked in the past. __________________________________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER Not every sound test will mimic what a keyboard sounds like in real life.
