- Today we build the smallest keyboard I have ever seen. An Ortho 20% keyboard that known as the butter stick. Let's see if this thing is actually usable or if it's just a meme.

its like steno without the efficiency of steno
Lmao i can't think of anything more fitting
You could probably use this for steno if it's compatible with open source firmware.
Edit: actually nvm, it's got 2 keys fewer than a steno board, you'd have to use fucking layers 💀
I just had a mental breakdown even imagining how I would type on this. We were so focused on whether or not we could create 20 percents that we never stopped to think if we should.
stenography
Might actually be worth it. Imagine just typing majority of words and the convenience it brings with just macro keys and such? But maybe if it's atleast 3 rows. I think a 3 row Keyboard be perfect for typing.
@@thegreatbeavers Oh wow! Wonder if they'll ever come out with a three row keyboard! This is sarcasm
@@louisgrissman4857 It's called Gherkin, I daily drive one, it's a lot of fun to use but it takes quite a bit of QMK sorcery to make it good to use daily. The stock keymap did not suit me at all, took me a while to figure out a keymap a like. I only use 2 layers for almost everything, I have 2 more layers for things I don't use a lot like reset, light controls, macros and F1 to F12 .
Just get a stenotype keyboard at this point.
An actually cool and useful skill.
I second this
pl onbver
This keyboard could have been programmed steno but the default config is a worse version of a normal keyboard
You're not infiltrating human society, are you?
I think that keyboard’s compensating for something, it might look small to you, but to others it might not 😏
Just like my di-

@@user-hg1jp1uf7w the fuck cursed shit is a 1 key osu keypad, single tapping everything new meta?
Or artsey!
If its called the butter stick, I expect it to make a stock NK Cream to feel smoother than a C3 Tangerine

wake up bae shoobs just posted
I use a similar design as my daily driver. I made it myself and it's way more comfortable than it looks. The butter stick's problem is the layout. If you separate the thumb keys a little you get a more ergo keyboard and the experience is waaay better. Cheers!
Dude, how... Can you show your keyboard?
@@houghwhite411 you should go watch Ben Vallack's videos it is possible to use keyboards even smaller than the Butterstick without using combos.
It's really meant for Kailh Choc switches, like the 20g gChocs, tbf. Single finger combos and chords aren't too hard there with the low keycaps and soft actuation.
Ben Vallack would like a word with that 20% - he types 80 wpm on 16 keys
Seriously though, to the uninitiated the tiny ergo layouts (my 34 keys seem huge in comparison) seem impossible to learn, but they are totally useable. It just takes a while to adjust. Your comments at the end are absolutely on point.
Although even to us the butter stick is still a bit of a meme.
I daily drive a Gherkin and even do me that keyboard seem a bit too crazy but I'd love to play with one.
Call me crazy but something like the Gherkin is actually pretty usable. Once you get into 2-row keyboards then I'd just go the ARTSEY route if anything.
Shoobs: Today we're using the keyboard in the highest difficulty there is
Stenography: ಠ_ಠ
Steno is at least usable, this is not
@@imnonene do you hear shoobs said literally this is usable.
imagine getting proficient with it and actually using outside. i'd love to be able to rock up to a meeting and whip out my 20% keyboard and combo my way through
Having been in this hobby for the past 9 years, there used to be a time when people argued for 60% keyboards because it "encouraged proper typing technique" by keeping your hands glued to the home row. Those same proper touch typists have basically moved on to 40's and this, and now people justify 60's because of deskspace for gaming with a mouse, which ironically was the argument people used back then to justify TKL's. This hobby is wierd.
Smaller is progress, this is the way
For me, fragmenting keyboards is progress.
A 60%, a macroboard with F keys, and a seperate numpad. Mmm.
Just throw that shit anywhere you want.
This keyboard's manufacturer: "Use like 20g springs on your switches"
Me using 78g springs in my switches and still thinking it's maybe not enough: ??????????
"i am a very dumb individual" never have more relatable words been spoken
Shoobs: lets build this. . . this special abomination.
Me: interesting, a positive word right next to a negative word.
Me: [walks in my brothers room]
Me: You're a special abomination :D
My brother: You too buddy :D
wholesome asf
isn’t that an oxymoron?
One day there will be a 1% layout, it's gonna be real epic
There is one
it's called morse code
there is already one, someone already even coded with it.
the Giant Foam Enter key
Finally something that won't one-up my masculinity
Shoobs coming in clutch with the upload just as I was gonna be productive lmao
only the biggest chads use the smallest keyboards
"Dark souls 1 thousands pp Hidden double time territory"
My new favourite phrase
dmg is my favorite set, bcps are my favorite switches. You cursed my dream build, why.
Dang it, man. Now I want one even though I have no use for it lol. Will this replace my 7V as my daily driver? Will I turn insane in doing so? Let's find out on the next episode of, no one asked.
It was hilarious and painful to watch Shoobs begin to use this abomination. Total troll board.
I like how it talks about the color of butter on the inside of the board lol
if steno is a pianist playing a wonderful piece, this is like an infant at the mall whose mom let them try the free piano
4:44 This is so scuffed that Shoobs’ dog is even confused lol
The great thing about sub 40% is that is real heckin cheap to make
wake up babe new weird looking keyboard
This would be an awesome macro pad but I dont think I could ever type on it
A smol masterpiece
The fact you tried a typing test. The dedication does not go unseen lol
AND HE FLIPPED THE TINY SPACE
u can literally see the shoob struggles in the typing attempts lol
Everybody gangsta until the %20 rolls up.
I’m guessing this is how they type in sci-fi movies. The layout doesn’t seem to be 60% so this seems like the fit.
shoobs not knowing what a steno keyboard is is the funniest shit ever
The first typing test looks like how my grandma would type lmao
When you love typing words but also need to pretend you have a stenograph
I like small boards, but I still couldn't imagine an effective layout before watching this. It turned out to be really good, you can get used to this.
“It’s normal size and fully functional!”
I thought the 27 keys of pain was bad...
Oh I absolutely see you go through hell using the butter stick for a month!
The Butter Stick: Stenography without the benefits
Imagine having to write an essay with this thing lmao
This is probably the keyboard DMV uses.
dude, love that video, keepin it real and fun. love it. subbed and liked!
This should be considered crime against humanity
I would definitely like to see someone type at like 70+ wpm with this lol
I would genuinely love to see you type more on this, honestly I want to pick one up, any link to where you got the case that it came with?
Wait till he hears about artsey
that mat looking pretty dirty. You know those machine washable right? lol
Yes... suffer. XD I'd love to see a follow up. Thanks for the lulz
imagin shoobs making the intro with this keyboard
Usable? I think you mean…
U e
20% is viable for english if you use 26 keys or develop a custom tap dance format. Or I guess just get good
Also I finally dove to buy some Cherrys for a cherry pie recipe. I'll be using jwick bottoms with kailh burgandy stems and gat red tops. Should have enough for a 65% (I did order a purple KBD67lite this past weekend)
The ultimate mini keyboard would just be T9 typing. So much easier than this
Imagine this is all you have to do a final paper with. That sounds like a good time!
I daily drive a 12x4 ortho keyboard and it's completely usable, that Butter Stick seems a bit too complex for me but it'd be fun to play with.
Fast forward a few months and I now daily drive a Gherkin, the butter stick looks more usable each day.
Fast forward some more I created a 20key layout for the Gherkin and got 50wpm within a few minutes of playing with it, my layout does not use combos tough, I have a layer for the missing alpha keys and other layers for everything else, it is fully usable and has every key a TKL has.
Hey, this keyboard is smooth like butter.
And now we wait for someone to make 1% keyboard
Brixton bully, slide with a bottie, man hold two from the woodie
i cant believe its not butter!
Low key a good punishment tool for kids. Make them type out a 1000-word apology for what they did wrong...
Shoobs my man, looks like the deskmat is due for a dusting 😅
The one true endgame keeb
If someone came over to my house with this, I’m giving them the house.
Hilarity ensues. I have a 40% ortho board with a unique 26 layout. I’m curious if Shoobs would be interested.
Half keyboard half macro pad all pure alpha male coursing through its veins
You typing on a whole nutra grain bar
i can use it to measure something KEKW
he rly said dark souls 1000pp difficulty
so souls , osu and keyboards? stan shoobs
Now I can finally say: "LMAO You type slower than my grandma"
2 key keyboards: you dare challenge me?
Me: I like how how the mouse is just changing places overtime, also what mouse is that. Also me: cares more about the mouse than this abomination of this keeb.
Ayo ur uploads always make my day better❤
"Dont use 40%, only villans do that." - shoobs, 2020-2021
This is a literal mmo hotbar but if your other skills swapped in on the fly after holding a modifier key.
4:45 why does Shoobs sound like a sad wolf
Finally, an actual adofai keyboard.
I think the combo wasn’t meant to be press with multiple fingers, it is meant to be pressed with a single finger. For example, to press A, you should use your left pinky to press the gap between Q and Z. Also you might need to use low profile key caps to achieve single-finger combo easily.
This is what i imagine you typing your intro on
Don't provoke them Shoobs they will release a 10% keeb!
I'm gonna rebrand a OSU! pad as a super minimalist nano-ortho
1-key board is the endgame now.
Already done 190 years ago en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegraph_key
That keyboard isn't small, it's average
keeb almost as cursed as shoobs hands 😮💨
I would probably just cry
Man I daily drive a 96% and I already think anything under 75% is unusable, this is taking things to an uncomfortable extreme 😂
Keyboards are very usable all the way down to a 30% in my personal experience, I am far more efficient with my 30 key ortho than I can ever dream of being with a full size keyboard. And the reduced movement helps me with shoulder issues, but smaller keyboards do require a well thought out keymap and lots of practice to become truly efficient. You need to figure a keymap that works for you and make use of all the features qmk has to offer.
imagine u whip this out at school
well no one is going to steal it on you.
That's not a keyboard that's a key set
man has some
n i c e h a n d s
well u can use it as a Rhythm game keyboard
You should buy the new Jwicks switches (new endgame budget switch made by JWK)
Next video: typing with an 2k osu keypad
And here i thought ortholinear boards were stupid. lol
