Keyboard to enhance your netrunning skills | Cycle7
Просмотров 9797 месяцев назад
Cycle7 is one of my favourite keyboards at the moment. It looks and feels absolutely above it's price. It's easy to build and it offers a lot of flexibility of what kind of build you want to make. I opted for a very techy / cyberpunk corpo inspired build with rock colourway, nice clacky switches and gmk teradrive to top it off. 00:00 B-roll A 00:16 Channel update 01:18 B-roll B 01:46 Sound test...

Hibi June | Epomaker Budgerigar Sound Test
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
This keyboard has everything - easy to build, sounds amazing and looks stunning and original. It has silicon case that doesn't sound dampened at all, but naturally lacks any metal pinging. Built with Epomaker Budgerigar tactile switches. I've found I like them stock, as they are smooth and sound great straight out of factory. Keycaps are some random doubleshot PBT pick from Amazon, I was lookin...
thanks for the video man! great work ❤ the screws are ones that came with the prototype, we will be sourcing better ones ourself for the group buy 🙏
PS: Anyone here watched Arcane?
Also yes the build you received was with Cherry MX2A Brown switches stock and GMK WoB <3
I had a note to "check with Matty later", but never actually got to it. Testament to how independently was the video created :D. But damn, I thought it's KKB, I even compared it with my set lol.
Beautiful video Herman. So proud to host this GB. I completely agree, it's about being intentional and having as strong human connection to the items, products and experiences we engage with. I have adored my time with the Garderie prototype.
Amazing video on an amazing board from an amazing designer and sold by an amazing keyboard store.
Incredible video as always dude, love the intro section and discussing deep topics, it's a nice change from any other regular keyboard video. Personal favourite is definitely the build with nixies on rubrehose. The blue alert row is just amazing. Hope to work with you in the future <3
Much appreciated! ❤️ We are all waiting for adm60 gb in anticipation 👀
Which build was your favourite? I really like Garderie with some brighter switches, like the FJ400 or even Dragon Ghosts. Oh and I know the first build says BOW instead of WOB haha, sorry.
Awesome video mate thank you for producing content like this <3
I have watched this a couple of times and keep coming back. Love the production and build.
whats the 40% in the start called?
Banger! I'm a big fan of Geonworks
What's that mini keyboard mat? I like the minimalistic approach
Thank you! Search for "keebmat" and you'll find it :) They are really good and affordable!
If only these were still available :)
It's possible aftermarket (as seen in the video :D )!
It's very relevant. But also not relevant because the only way to get one now is through mechmarket. Loooooooooove the teradrive on this that looks so damn good. It's really tempting me to get a set.
Did you end up getting it? I can recommend, one of my alt time fav sets :D
Kit looks great and decent sounding but typing angle too low for me :(
I'm not expect the video gonna be so funny judging from the thumbnail lol
Now I feel pressured to come up with something funny for Void :D
@@hermanstrauss waiting for surprises 🤣
Just built a green WK one with a wooting pcb. Extremely happy with it
Nice vid mate
Dang what is this editing quality. Absolutely excellent content keep it up
What an insane intro
👀👍! havent heard someone talk about the frog mini in a while, it sure is a good board. i liked the fun intro where you dodged the listings and ended up getting the frog mini XD
Haha, the intro feels like a little metaphor to how I feel in the hobby. It's why I started this channel, to help people navigate it and enjoy themselves in the process no matter if they land on masterly crafted $1000 boards or tofu with budget switches off amazon. Glad you liked it.
where did you bought it aftermarket?
Mechanical Keyboard UK discord server. You have to be based in the UK tho. Depending on your region, you might find similar Discord servers or use /r/mechmarket reddit.
After seeing this, I miss my frog mini that I sold
Haha, understandable.
Thank you, yummy sound
I’m glad you like it! Yummy indeed, I can’t wait to experiment further. It’s a very “rebuildable” board!
Can i have a free kb
The 50a tadpoles is literally perfect with gmk keycaps, solid build dude!
Yea, it completely removed the hints of resonance it had before (I didn't even force break it, I was thinking I might to with the 80a). Thanks!
@@hermanstrauss exactly, the resonance is what steered ppl away from this board or it sounded kinda dead but you made it completely alive. The switches are great as well, again congratz on the build again!
I love the editing! Your videos are getting better and better, you deffo deserve more subs. Also big fan of the arabic keycaps. Btw do you plan to do any streams in the future?
Thank you! 🥰 Great idea with streaming, I’ve never done it before, but theoretically have all the equipment needed haha.
Great video man, and hope you enjoy! 🫶🏻
Wouldn’t happen without you 🥰
lichicx silents 🔛🔝
Thanks, you inspired me to do one with the new Cherry MX2A Blacks and damn, it sound almost equal. Great board for a silent build.
Lovely board and builds, too bad that shipping and taxes almost double the price for me, making it not so worth it.
2nd build was super niceee
Does not matter if other youtubers have made a review before you. Everyone keeps up with this hobby on different paces, and not everyone watches keyboard videos just to buy the showcased board. Also, certain creators have similar taste with certain viewers, so the match is what matters the most. I find your videos very entertaining. I built a Monsgeek M6 because of your video, after lurking around the hobby for 4 or so years, and i am very happy with it.
Basically an aluminium plate , just about works with every switch that you'd like.
mx blues
@@hermanstrauss It even works for MX blues too.
Ooooh cool new board...I heard alot of good things about this board too.
Very well made, really easy assembly. It would easily become my endgame if such thing existed :D
@@hermanstrauss Btw you also have the DR-70f , that's the one I have. I like its form factor, it's narrow and fits narrow spaces but still have as many keys as a 75%.
It's good to be back! 👋 How've you all been? Is there a keyboard/design related topic you'd like to see a video essay for? 🥸
that second build sounds so good, ordered the switches thanks to your video!
Videography/sound/production value is top notch for the sub count, you earned another. Also curious if you have tried out the neo65. If you have, would you pick the bauer over it?
I've become quite fond of the Alice layout lately. I have a handful of Alice boards and I've been considering the M6 and this is easily the most informative and entertaining take I've seen! Thanks for your insights! Easy subscribe...hope to see more videos in the future!
i wish this one had a num pad that's the only bad thing i'm not sure if this one is better than keychron q13 and q14
Define "better", haha. Productivity-wise, q13 or q14 are probably better choices, if you have the desk space. More ergonomic, numpad... I would probably pick that over M6 as serious work keyboard.
I like your content a lot, good vibes. Looking forward to the follow up, as I am quite concerned with the ability to go back and forth from alice to normal keyboards etc.
Will do, my progress has been slow, as I go back to normal layouts too much (I have only one alice and too many "regular-ish" layouts)
What num pad is that?
Binepad BN009!
nice keeb...
Really surprised to see that you dont have 1000's of subs. The effort you put into this video really shows. Enjoyed watching and it was informative, hopefully you can get some kit sponsored for next time :p
Great video! The build turned out great! Silent builds need love.
Yt shorts for the win! Keep em coming bro
I ordered the same board for much the same reasons. I'm going with a funky heavy tactiles (Invokeys x Alas: Daydreamer Switches) and for fun, SA Handarbeit. It should be weird! But you inspired me with using silent switches, something I've never liked before, but KeyBay sent me some TTC Moon White silent linears and I'm going to put them in a Spy-themed board I put together last month. Thanks for the idea!
I love the idea! Just watch out, the Daydreamers are silent heavy tactiles! They are just tactile variant of the Nightshades I'm using in the final build in this video. They are really silent too. That being said, they feel absolutely amazing, I have a sample of them, if I had enough I would use them for this build instead. They sound (and kinda feel) even more topre-like :D
Nice vid mate, instant sub
Loved the video! Great style!!!
Really like the esthetics and quality of the vid! Keep it up!
Nice vid mate
got the atomic purple and rouge and still waiting for the keycaps that they will be paired with. also love the content and style quality! keep it up!
Rouge is the best imo! 🔴Which keycaps did you go for (for both of them)?
@@hermanstrauss for the atomic i'll be pairing it with some dcx cyber, then for the rouge i'll go with the reference design which is gmk redline :D
