For others I recommend changing the stabilizers. Durock, C3, or Zeal stabs are fine. Depending on the plate, you might need to sand off the durock stabs a bit to make them fit but changing the stabs help a lot in your overall experience. Mind you this is a 75% so you only need 3 2u and 1 6.25u stabs. There's a bunch of guides on youtube to lube and install stabs so I recommend checking it out.
Man i just can't get over how such a great video this is. The editing, camera work, in-depth review. attention to detail in the background to create a theme. Great content as always :)
You should check out BadSeedTech. Very underrated Techtuber that has production values to the walls. Courteous in making lots of sound/ASMR and warning before blasting you with the louder sound.
The attention to details in this video is so nice!! The fact that you blacked out the paper with a marker, underneath the waterking switch parts showcase is such a nice touch
Would you prefer these over the black inks? And did you lube the switches yourself for the sound test? Cause i really liked the sound of these switches
I picked up a set of these aqua kings just a few minutes ago from kprepublic, they still say in stock. I have a set of the c3 tangerine v2 switches inbound as well so I am excited to see how they compare.
I like the fact, that he made a small pause between the keyboard-asmr and him talking about it again so we could turn our volume down again. Love your videos man, keep it up 🔥🔥
Didn't know these type of keycaps existed so I've made the plunge on a GMNK Pro, the switches and these kind of keycaps but in a red and white aesthetic after watching this. Cheers Frank.
I feel like with those Aqua King super clear switches, you're missing an opportunity to use the White version of the G.Skill Crystal Crown keycaps. Just Clear on Clear for the ultimate RGB.
Keyboard turned out super clean! I'm going a similar route with mine, only I'm going with the black cable and using Drop's Dark Dolch caps. My Aqua Kings are... worrisome. Four were unusable due to tight-fitting stems, and the rest have inconsistent lube/feeling.
amazing video as per usual. would be fire if you could put a "FLASHING LIGHTS" warning right before that keycap installation portion cause of that fast forward :))
@@caleb4450 Some people are genuinely, negatively affected by flashing lights and can go into physical fits from them. They're not a snowflake, you're just a fool.
I just found your video and I legit just bought the exact same setup. With polycarbonate plate, the kuro/shiro caps (which hurt my wallet so bad) and I’m about to build it this week. Love how it looks in this video.
@@MrSkullhead0 im thinking of making it my first custom too, my friend has the board with lubed and filmed tealio v2 switches and it sounds great so i may or may not be copying him
Not sure if i should get one... still debating. I wish the delete, page up, end, and page down key was closer to the other keys so it looks more compact
I copied the exact same build and it's freaking amazing. Only thing is the stabs for the spacebar rattles a little but everything else rocks. My first keyboard build and i love it
Get the Durock V2 stabs, my GOAT stabs got sticky 3 months in and relubing didn't work either. Got the Durock V2s and they are such a huge upgrade, no rattle whatsoever with the minimal amount of lube
I just got the Aqua king switches and they're seriously amazing. Incredibly smooth and just the right travel distance and weight. So much better than the gateron clear I had before. Now I'm so satisfied with my gmmk pro
@@arispokony2944 Haven't tried them so I can't really say. Though someone from the Philippine mech community mentioned that there are issues with some of the switches (also confirmed by the vendor) as some of the top housings are overly tight. If you intend to buy, please make sure to buy a lot of spares just in case it does happen to you.
I'm in on the gb for the Everglide Crystal Violet switches (tactile, abs housing, violet stem & bottom housing) and now I'm super excited to try them, wish I'd seen the Aqua King gb now though lol
these switches are underrated.... you can barely find reviews about them. Does anyone have them and would tell me their opinion? I just love their sound and looks according to this video. Great vid btw!
Did you change the stabs? The mods sound fine, but that space bar has GOT to gooo imo. I just got the gmmk pro a few days ago, waiting on durock stabs, PC plate and aqua V3's. Pumped af
I really hope that their QC gets better, my gmmk compact has developed some latency and input ghosting when I'm playing rhythm games, which has completely ruined my experience with the board. I know that the firmware update bricked BT's board and Durock stabs are incompatible with some plates... this is an amazing board despite these flaws. If Glorious sorts these out, they have an amazing product on their hands.
i was literally planning to have the exact same build as you but just with the black version of the GMMK pro also u a mega chad for having the same favorite switch as me B)
I dunno why but the aqua king switches feel like a tactile switch(I got the 67g version i dont know if that changes anything), but they are most certainly a linear switch because of how smooth they are stock. They just took me by surprise. PS in my country a lot of sellers are selling it now

@@tjransom2739 ahhhh yesssssssirrrr
I love how he wore a white sweatshirt and a black cap to compliment the keyboard, quality video! Am I right or am I right?
Most definetly you are right!
He also uses white-black mug and a white watch
you should see the initial glorious keyboard impressions on how he complimented both colors
Frank is always on point with his matching outfits to the products he talks about.
You are right
It makes me mad how clean this is.
Do you think these switches would look good instead of the glorious pandas on the black build?
@@brady7993 they would look fine but would probably look better on white

this is my fav keyboard you ever done so far man, looks so clean man

@@mustafa.f9665 No, these are stock as I said. Yes I prefer them over Inks
What was the price of the switches at at time of purchase and would you put them over modified tealios?
How much money?

That flickering edit between the black/white cords was *_chefs kiss_ 😗👌
Will the aura custom keycaps fit this board since the right FN and ALT buttons seem smaller than regular?
They're releasing a new set of puddings to fit this.
@@paper2946 so technically that new set of puddings will also fit a 65% keyboard, for example ducky one 2 SF?
Aura V2 will be available in 2 colorways.
@@markotesic the one 2 sf has a weird 2u right shift, so you’ll probably have to use one of the keys from the numpad on it
@@markotesic The Ducky One 2 SF uses a 2u right shift so, I don't know if this will include 2u SHIFT

Those switches sound really good stock!
This keyboard looks and sounds so clean. And the fact that the switches are stock is just perfect.
This become my favourite keyboard build instantly! I love the gold accent from the switches too ^^
This is one of the best builds Frank has done.
You know what's cleaner than that keyboard? Your video editing skills. Love your work, my man.
I like how your fit matches with the keyboard, very nice touch
I normally go for silent switches, but your sound test sold me on these fellas. Plus I like the idea of not having to lube another set of 90 switches.
Was waiting for this ever since the review of the GMMK Pro!
Every single time I see this thumbnail I have to click the video, even if I've already watched it. lol Its sooooo clean
I think this might be it, this is your masterpiece.

My Aqua Kings are... worrisome. Four were unusable due to tight-fitting stems, and the rest have inconsistent lube/feeling.
I’ve been looking for a good linear, these sound like ones I should def check
check out the c3 tangerine v2's
gat yellows ...
@@loicjeannin6233 these are definitely better, altho gat yellows are great budgets.
@@TheSiege2 they are smooth but sound kinda garbo. Not many JWKs sound decent.
@@user-kz9rz8ui1c Check out the Lavenders.... Basically a lighter version of Gat Inks with the deep sound signature.
love that transition when you had the black vs white cable, such a nice keyboard shoulda preordered one

Now we know what is Frank's most favourite keyboard. ❤️
Not sure if i should get one... still debating. I wish the delete, page up, end, and page down key was closer to the other keys so it looks more compact
The spacebar sounds...subpar. Did you use the GOAT stabs or swap them out?
idk if he touched the stabs lol
The entire keyboard sounds subpar to be honest
@@dedelabinouze5110 gay?
Very nice "Sound In" idea. You saved a lot of ears today sir
Been hyped for this
gotta say , this is the best 2021 keyboard.
everything looks so clean , nice rgb effect & nice switch
I'd be interesting in seeing a comparison between these Aqua Kings and Tangerines.
i would like that for sure
Tangies
I copied the exact same build and it's freaking amazing. Only thing is the stabs for the spacebar rattles a little but everything else rocks. My first keyboard build and i love it

This sounds sooo smooth.
The hype around this board is like nothing I remember. Glorious are just doing everything right.
those aquakings🥺
I own a 60% keyboard I made with those, I say that the gateron black inks v2 and the novel key creams are both quite a bit better and cheaper
@@stonksagent9040 i don’t like the creams but i like the black inks so idk what to choose
@@bluparrrot I would say go for the inks, you are living them right?

Frank: What do you think how did that sound?
Me: I didn't hear anything...
Nice.
I’m honestly upset that i didnt know about this sooner and just blew more money on a worse keyboard. I’m 100% buying one of these when it launches
Ima be honest, I did not expect the keyboard to sound that good!
Those are probably the best sounding switches I’ve ever heard
The spacebar sounds off and there's something obviously wrong with the backspace. It looks good though.
Probably the first time I've seen a good sound test of the EG Water Kings / Aqua Kings. Solid review!
Do you know if the switches are actually good or bad I can’t find any reviews really

im on a budget nd this is super cool, anyone got an average price for the entire build?
keyboard - 200
lube - 10
switches - 60
keycaps - 100
cable - 50
now add shipping depending on where you live
@@kusowave thank you
I am also making this Keybourd it's insane! Thank you for the Video
I don't know why I'm not convinced by the sound.
You had the perfect chance to add lubed Durock clear stabs!
Wonder how that would look with pudding caps
It's look like a gamer keyboard lol
Like that shot of the switch on the wowstick lol clever!
It is such a shame, that the gmmk pro white ice is silver not white :( e white would be an instant buy!
E-white is so common now. I prefer the silver-ness of this white.
@@shanksworthy every mainstream keyboard that calls itself white is basically silver with white keycaps. How is E-White more common?!
@@shanksworthy if you say something is white....it's should be white.
If it's silver just say it's silver.
Love the idea of a custom mechanical keyboard.
Fearful of the idea of putting one together.
Those keycaps look SICK!
Noti gang thats clean
Wow! This is by the far the quietest keyboard I've ever come cross. Well done!
Everyone is first until they refresh.
Glorious seriously stepped up their game with the gmmk pro
I don't approve of that spacebar, the rest is clean but that spacebar not so clean.
We need a black space bar, I also think that the black frame would look better on this setup
these switches are underrated.... you can barely find reviews about them. Does anyone have them and would tell me their opinion? I just love their sound and looks according to this video. Great vid btw!
Frank’s an artist
Killer shots for a killer build my man, such a top tier production from top to bottom!
I am now more excited to get this board!
Yeah im getting a GMMK next up for sure. so many customizing options with these which i always love.
Did you change the stabs? The mods sound fine, but that space bar has GOT to gooo imo. I just got the gmmk pro a few days ago, waiting on durock stabs, PC plate and aqua V3's. Pumped af
That keyboard is insane
the sound test just *chefs kiss*
1,000 VIDEOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS FRANK!
Those switches r the sound of heaven
Those switches sound ridiculously good for stock.
Do you have to use the plate/pcb screws and stand offs? I wonder what the keyboard sounds without the screws and stand offs...
SHEEEEEESH - makes me super happy that i pre-ordered the white (silver) one now
im definitely getting one of those aviator cables in the nebula color though. i never thought a cable could look so sexy
The sound test... *clicks tongue* noice
And the fit to match the keyboard. Nice!
Really tempting the PC Chaos gods with that coffee cup sitting so close to your "clean" build. Very brave man. :-D
Man i kinda wanna see this keyboard with the jelly keycaps. That soft look will look fire on this keycap
this should be mass produced ;)
Happy Easter 🌠🐣
Nice touch with the hoodie.

homie matched his outfit to the keyboard. i'm impressed.
These switches are goated, aesthically especially.
the knob never gonna be a problem , you can purchase them from any third party one and more beautiful than the original
It’s so bright, I love it
Can't wait to get my flex batch unit.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo quietly smooth.
Absolutely beautiful and aesthetic build!
i was literally planning to have the exact same build as you but just with the black version of the GMMK pro also u a mega chad for having the same favorite switch as me B)
6:50 this is eargasmic🥺🥺😌, love that keyboard, but the arrow keycaps with unaligned arrows gives me anxiety 😂
Wdym, they aren’t unaligned...
Great build, what got my attention was that live wallpaper is it available somewhere or will it be?

Will they ever make a wireless version? Keychron makes a wireless mechanical keyboard but i love the look of the GMMK.
