As someone who grinds aliexpress daily, I saw that you confirmed your plate was received when you actually did not get it. That doesn't mean that you got scammed, it means that it is still continuing to ship until it arrives, you just can't see tracking info anymore. I accidentally pressed "confirm recieved" on one of my packages but it still came
yes, usually it means aliexpress has done its part for delivering to your country, and it's up to your local ppostal service to contact you for updates.
I did an AliExpress build recently and it didn't go terribly. I used a Redragon K617, Tape modded it and added some case foam. Some Akko cs lavender switches and Coral Sea pbt keycaps. The stabilizers are suprisingly ok stock so I didn't feel the need to mod or replace them. Whole build came down to under 100 NZD.
You see... The pcb was a 3 star rated product with 6 buys... I'd say anything under 4.5 star at that many buys is a scam. As a fellow Ali Express user. I've honed my skills into logical and depp diving into products before buying LOL
If you only solder one leg, you can straighten the switch by reflowing the solder while pressing on it from the other side with your finger. Then you can go back and solder all the unsoldered legs.
I love how everything he get's is like 5 cents cheaper from being good. But he chooses transparent and blue switches. But then chooses keycaps that are way more expensive. Edit: I don't love that he chooses the 5 cents cheaper items. It annoys me, He could've had a decent board.
That PCB looks like it supports hotswap sockets, so they're not wrong. They just don't include the individual sockets that you also need to solder on there to make it an actual hotswap board. Another big giveaway of that is the misaligned switches. The holes for the pins are much larger than usual because they need to accomodate the hotswap socket. If the holes were made to spec of the pin you wouldn't be able to turn them that much (only a little bit).
@@TheJackalopee Using Navys would defeat the purpose, Box Clickys actually sound good. I have them on 2 boards, Jades and Pinks and I have tried Navys.
ikr ! I can't see why they say if was that terrible. If someone gifted me that, I would've happily accepted it.(I just would've fixed the keycaps not being in place) It sounds pretty decent. If they just hated it because it was solely blue switches besides the keycaps being off then I don't understand why he would just buy blue ones instead of the reds if they were only a 50 cents away which is still cheap.
you 'technically' could go more budget depending on what sacrifices you'd be willing to make. Like a plateless build (with 5 pin switches) some cheapo plastic case and some sub $20 keycaps and something like jwick blacks. Should be about $50-60 excluding shipping
Oh my god that soundtest got me nightmares for the rest of my life wtf. Reporting this video because the contents of it (the soundtest) are not safe for everyone and can do psychical damage to people. Also you are probably commiting a warcrime with that keyboard, building a weapon deadlier than any biochemical weapon.
you can actually build yourself a decent keyboard for $100 on aliexpress. there's a bunch of reputable sellers there. not sure if it was your first time or just did not try hard enough.
Man i love ur vids but this is gettin like really overconsuming this trash won’t dissolve in a billion years cause of plastics man and u support sites like AliExpress by buying from them Still love u
I mean you lost coz you totally didn't do the challenge correctly. She challenged you to make the best keyboard from aliexpress. You did the cheapest? You shot yourself on the foot there
You confirmed the "Aluminum Alloy plate" in the aliexpress before you confirm it arrived at your destination? wut ? because that is manually done by "you" not the deliver... and you claim, you got scammed...
No nowadays aliexpress also automatically confirms it after like a week if it was shipped with AliExpress standard shipping to certain countries because they say they can verify that it arrived. You can still open a dispute though for like 30ish days.
Honestly this could've been a decent build if you bought j spacers to fit in between the stem and the click jacket, creating jailhouse blues which are just tactile
I didn't get scammed this bad, dang. My video will be up January 8 👍 this was such a FUN collab to do

You built a keyboard under 100 NZD and I bought a prebuilt I’m gonna mod for 150 NZD including shipping 💀

At least the build was doable because the pcb was soldered.(unfort 3pin though) I'm too scared to do a plateless hotswap board
Only real gamers use P L A T E L E S S O P T I C A L H O T S W A P
the next video will be "Modding the cheapest custom keyboard"
how the hell do you get scammed twice in one go when i've been shopping on aliexpress for at least 10 years and never got scammed even once HOW
that keyboard sounds better than mine 😭😭😭
build the most expensive keyboard but with... cherry mx blue switches
Blue Bombers are even louder. You could also do Box Navy.
@@TheJackalopee Using Navys would defeat the purpose, Box Clickys actually sound good. I have them on 2 boards, Jades and Pinks and I have tried Navys.
I love your videos, you should do a tutorial on a 200-300 dollar keyboard!
That switch alignment LE MOW
I like your keyboards sound Iif I get it I'll happily get it
ikr ! I can't see why they say if was that terrible. If someone gifted me that, I would've happily accepted it.(I just would've fixed the keycaps not being in place) It sounds pretty decent.

The fact that his keyboard he made sounds like a $110 razer keyboard is just..
Dang if the plates actually arrived, it wouldn’t be that bad… besides the scratchy switches.
Its always a good day if squashy boy uploads!
wait but why does that sound like my 100 dollar razer keyboard and how is it bad wait what
WISH CUSTOM BUILD VS ALIEXPRESS BUILD!!!!!
The best part of the video is when he is putting in the switches😂
You should check out FL Esports MK870
Tm680 with the pbt mars green keycaps. You can't get anymore budget than that
you 'technically' could go more budget depending on what sacrifices you'd be willing to make. Like a plateless build (with 5 pin switches) some cheapo plastic case and some sub $20 keycaps and something like jwick blacks. Should be about $50-60 excluding shipping
Yknow it's a bad hobby when 100$ is considered budget build.
Nice video! Keep up on the keyboard videos.
Thanks, will do!
finally NEW VIDEO! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
I bought the same plate lol
Can I have the keyboard pls
Honestly with the way the mic picked up the switches sound, the blues didn’t sound that bad…somehow
fun fact ali express is named after dr. Alison Express after he cerated the first ever website
You should fully customize and modify a membrane keyboard 😳
He did that
ruclips.net/video/HXT6Mv_6Wyk/видео.html
I have diyed mine and it honestly sounds pretty good lol
He already did that
@@bre4discool385 like fully customize?
I feel like the blues aren't complete without rattily stabilizers lmao
Budget keyboard from budget site on a budget making it the most budgeted budget board on a budget
it's like he's asking to be scammed
It's a good thing I dont even know how to use Aliexpress 😔✊🏻
Finally a keyboard to rival my own

Don't actually buy the cheapest switches from aliexpress. I did that mistake, they stopped making contact after 2 weeks of use.
Yknow if you’re mentally insane, you could remove the clicky thing in those switches to make it linear and scam AliExpress instead
Facebook marketplace is better 🦒
you can actually build yourself a decent keyboard for $100 on aliexpress. there's a bunch of reputable sellers there. not sure if it was your first time or just did not try hard enough.
Man i love ur vids but this is gettin like really overconsuming this trash won’t dissolve in a billion years cause of plastics man and u support sites like AliExpress by buying from them

me actually saying GU: GU
I saw cheapest keyboard on aliexpress and saw my keycaps on the thumbnail...
I just saw the thumbnail and I thought OJ a clash royale youtuber was doing keyboard content.
why in the F&*# would you break your only rule on the keycaps and not the swtiches?!?!?!
The key caps actully look really good
4:02 Imma be honest, I kinda dig the mis-oriented keycaps
how to spray lube your switches

at that point i would rather buy browns
@@SquashyBoy lmao

You should have taken out the click jackets from the switches and made them tactile s
