BT , what do you think about meka mat desk mat ? i know its so sick looking desk mat , but do you consider it good for gaming or nah , cuz its my main now and im doing good , the question is do i need to change to go fully tryhard ?
PSA: GMK keycaps often interfere with most MX switches in the normal(north facing) position where the LED shine through is at the top. The Glorious Pandas are an exception because they bottom out earlier as do some other switches but most bottom out at 3.8-4mm which will cause interference with GMK keycaps so be wary about what switch you use in this or any other keyboard with north facing switches
Just wanted to say thanks my dude, you and some of the others in the community have completely opened me up to the mechanical keyboard world. My mecha mini just came in a few days ago, and this video inspired me to really make the keyboard my own. I am absolutely in love with the glorious panda switches, and the mecha mini as well. Thanks again for the inspiration, keep up the good content bud
Nice. Did this to an Anne Pro 2 not too long ago. Used lubbed/filmed Gateron Black Inks and gold plated cherry stabs. Also replaced the plastic case with a aluminum one. One of my favorite keebs.
Been years since I have soldered, just stumbled onto your channel. Just bought my first keyboard kit waiting on it. I would definitely like to see your solder tutorial
Is there no interference between the Cherry profile keycaps and the north-facing switches? I want to buy the Glorious Pandas but I have north-facing switches, so I don't know if Cherry profile will have any interference with this switch in particular.
@Brandon Taylor have u tested MM530 or MM531 are they close to G wolves skoll cuz idk which one of these 3 to buy.Before i used alcor cm storm which is the older version of MM530 and it was so good.If u can tell me which one of these 3 is better please :D.
I have a ducky mecha mini and would love to do this, but the desoldering gun is so expensive and for that price I could just get a Drop Alt hot swappable keyboard and call it a day! But I’m still intrigued
was thinking about modding my One 2 SF, but I didn't like the thought of having to desolder all the switches. But thanks to you I now know solder guns exist which brings the idea of modding my board closer to reality!
I didn't have any experience before desoldering and you can do a good job with just a soldering gun and a regular much cheaper solder sucker 👍🏽 Give it a shot, it's fun!
Hey Brandon! I know you love your Ducky a lot and I was looking at getting one the other week but I noticed that there were very many comments complaining about the key chatter/double clicking issue. I was wondering if you've ever had this problem with any of your boards and if it would be worth the risk to buy it
Hey! I’ve had issues in the past on my very first ducky one 2 mini but their new firmware is better and prevents it from happening. I think it’s pretty safe at the moment to buy one
hey, sorry if this is a dumb question but. if i put the panda switches on my ducky, can i still access the rgb? and also would the normal ducky one 2 mini work with these switches instead of the mecha mini?
*sniff* clickbait? Eh it's okay, why would I think the anti-hotswap company would partner with Glorious. Also the past few videos the audio has been a little messed up, doesn't sound horrible but something is wrong. Edit: he changed the title, now it's better and not misleading.
First sound test: my Corsair K95 Platinum XT sounds better (with the blue devil switches). Second test: well there's goes the click, sounds nice Third test: there we go I want to either sell or mod my other K95 and put some Navy Blues in it.
the desoldering gun is a must for this sort of work. Yeah, you could use a manual solder sucker or braid but why spend hours doing something that the soldering gun could do in like 5 minutes.
Would you guys recommend this as a first custom keyboard? From the PH so I have a hard time ordering from monstargears or novelkeys but there's a Glorious local retailer and the Ducky is readily available. HAHAHA Also, if not the Glorious swithces I might just order Kailh Speed Bronze from another local retailer HAHA
aw sounds good Love the keyboard build and ps 1 look the good old days. I have the Glorious TKL GMMK keyboard brown greatron switches. I need to lube them space bar bit loud lol . Lov the G TKL KB might get white ice with different switches and lube them have so many matrix keycaps .
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to balance the stab wires, :3ildcat has a nice tutorial in each of his modding videos. I think it's important to balance the wire, because even if you drown it in dielectric grease, an unbalanced wire will start to rattle after some use.
Putting the arrow keys at WASD is not acceptable. You can do that with uniform profile keycaps, not GMK. Other than that, you have successfully convinced me to get a desolder gun :)
In your opinion, will the Ducky Mécha SF Radiant be a good keyboard, based on your experience with the Mecha Mini and the One2 SF? Edit: I might choose the MX Browns for switch.
Robber: breaks into my house Me: hey what the hell man Robber: where the goods at Me: I got nord vpn you cant get shit Robber: what the hell is that Me: here let me show you (pulls out BT nord vpn add) Me: see Robber: ....... Robber: aight I guess I'm out then, happy Halloween. Me: have a goodnight
BT wanted to say I love your videos and been watching for a minute now. I wanted to ask you a quick question. Would you recommend a Drop Alt with Zelios v2 62g for a good gaming and typing keyboard?
@@BTaesthetics Ok thanks so much for the response was curious because I have a ducky one 2 mini with browns at the moment and wanted to venture into the more enthusiast type of stuff and felt that hotswap was the way to start. I've heard that the stabs on the Alt aren't the greatest, what kinds of stabs do you use/recommend?
@@Pqffy Yes I saw that yesterday! I have been waiting so long for them to finally make a hot swap ducky (not including year of the rat keyboard) I really appreciate the heads up though! I'm considering getting the hot swap ducky or the new wooting 60% keyboard available for pre order
@@BTaesthetics It's been a year, but i've done it, I can confirm that the dz60 fits into the ducky mecha case. But Ducky has now announced their new hot swap version of the keyboards so not sure if it will be necessary to do that
Had a lot of fun making this video. I plan on doing some more mod videos shortly. Have a great weekend everyone!
Thanks dad
Happy Halloween!
No aerox 3 wireless video? man ur washed

A soldering tutorial would be amazing!
That already was made like a year ago
it is just through-hole sodering there are a lot of tutorials already but one specifically for keebs would be nice
@@lucaspoulos8309 that's what I'm saying. He already made one for keyboards and there are countless others for keyboards.
there are already a ton on youtube, the one by JUJU is good
@@Tahlrrr yea ik, juju is great. Bt already made a soldering tutorial a year ago that's what I was trying to tell the person.
BT are we gonna get that model O wireless review when it comes out
what? Of course
yea
Yessir! Soon ;)
@@BTaesthetics Yessir
Make a soldering tutorial please! Would be so helpful.
I agree. Please!
Whered you get the custom cable connected to the keyboard? 8:23

I heard a weird squeaking noise when I was listening to the Mx blues
That's common with a lot of blue switches due to the stabilizers being unsturdy.
Click jackets are terrible
I heard it on the Holy pandas too
@@potion95 Yeah I know. Clearly made in a hurry.
Yeah man it's there pls fix it 😭
Nice. Did this to an Anne Pro 2 not too long ago. Used lubbed/filmed Gateron Black Inks and gold plated cherry stabs. Also replaced the plastic case with a aluminum one. One of my favorite keebs.
I also modded my Ducky with Tealios v2/205g and 9009 Keycaps. But those Dualshot keycaps are amazing. Great video BTW!
This is the perfect video to kick off the weekend! Great video🔥
Song is "Why Do I Fall Back to You"
If Ducky just made the Mecha hotswap there's no need for a collab since we could throw whatever we want on there.
That would be the dream
Really good video as usual. You should make a video on the Glorious GMMK Compact with the Glorious Pandas as well when you get the time.
This dude channel is tough! You should do a long video start to finish keyboard assembly
Been years since I have soldered, just stumbled onto your channel. Just bought my first keyboard kit waiting on it. I would definitely like to see your solder tutorial
Man I wish I copped dualshot .
Surely you have a spare set BT
I‘d love to see more about those custom cables on your keyboards!
100. What is that coiled cable!? I can’t find one that works with my mecha mini that isn’t ducky!
Is there no interference between the Cherry profile keycaps and the north-facing switches?
I want to buy the Glorious Pandas but I have north-facing switches, so I don't know if Cherry profile will have any interference with this switch in particular.

That's exactly what I've done the day the g pandas arrived. And I love it. However the bottom out on the steel plate needed o rings.
I have a ducky mecha mini and would love to do this, but the desoldering gun is so expensive and for that price I could just get a Drop Alt hot swappable keyboard and call it a day! But I’m still intrigued

i watched this so often just because of this gmk dualshock set, ohhhhhh yeah
I had never heard the downsides of the blues. Glad they were out of stock when I ordered my Ducky TKL
Basically making a ducky an entry custom. Nice

Great video...are your keycaps backlit/translucent or solid?
Man I want that keycap set for my NK65 Entry Smoke polycarbonate.
Too many groupbuys to keep track of.
Please make a soldering tutorial, great vid bt
i think gummy worm mounting this keeb would've been such a cool mod!
Not a bad idea
I like the glorious pandas but honestly prefer the pitch and feel of the invyrs, glad I I picked up both tho :P
Can you switch the stabs of any keyboard with a different keyboard? I wanna see gk61 with anne pro 2 or ducky stabs
*sniff* clickbait? Eh it's okay, why would I think the anti-hotswap company would partner with Glorious. Also the past few videos the audio has been a little messed up, doesn't sound horrible but something is wrong.
Edit: he changed the title, now it's better and not misleading.
Thanks for the feedback I’ll check out the audio
Should mention millmaxing too!
Is it possible to solder in sockets to make it hot swap?
Omg that keyboard and mouse pad combo 😍😍😍 I'm dead 😫
Definitely want to see a soldering tutorial. I think not knowing how to do it right is stopping me from building my own custom keyboard
Bt, we need a sodering tutorial !!!
What are the smoothest linear switches in your opinion?
I wish they could actually collab.
First sound test: my Corsair K95 Platinum XT sounds better (with the blue devil switches).
Second test: well there's goes the click, sounds nice
Third test: there we go
I want to either sell or mod my other K95 and put some Navy Blues in it.
the desoldering gun is a must for this sort of work. Yeah, you could use a manual solder sucker or braid but why spend hours doing something that the soldering gun could do in like 5 minutes.
Yup! It’s invaluable
yes! great vid quality for your amount of subs!
Please do a soldering video (or however you spell it), I don’t understand that process at all and want to custom make a keyboard in the future.

Wait so you can still have backlighting with the opaque switch housing?
Yeah you still get a really good amount of lighting
what case is your pc in
YES PLS SOLDERING TUTORIAL!!!
you should review the NiZ Micro 82 or one of their boards, they all have the same switches and they look pretty nice
I moded a year and a half my anne pro 2. Not really using it because I have custom but it is so nice sounding
Yo BT you gonna review the rocat burst pro when it comes out in a few days?
Anyone else prefers the sound of the first test?
Most underrated RUclipsr I got a lot of respect for you much love ❤️
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to balance the stab wires, :3ildcat has a nice tutorial in each of his modding videos. I think it's important to balance the wire, because even if you drown it in dielectric grease, an unbalanced wire will start to rattle after some use.
This is my first attempt. There will be more videos. I know this one isn’t perfect but im learning. Thanks for the feedback much appreciated
2:06 u need some cable management BT!! contact Techsource ..hahahhahaah
I have a shine 7 would the process be similar if I were to customize to use glorious pandas?
Are you going to make a review on the Steelseries Aerox 3 wireless when you can get that one?
Whats that screwdriver you are using? It looks very premium
Who in the HELL disliked this video??? Great looking and sounding keeb btw!!!
I know right!?!? Thanks Karl! Have a great day!
dope mod!! u can desolder ALL the prebuilts and put ur BT flavor on them 😂 awwwww yeaaaa. 👌🏻
Awww yeah
I put drops holy pandas in my ducky one 2 mini. Took around 3 hours with lube new switches an re soildering
Dude that is such an awesome keyboard wish I had one like that😭😭
Sick review as always. Might consider this board because of the swappable switches
Not technically, you can if you have a soldering iron but I think you meant hotswap which this board is not
Who needs Hotswap when you can desolder
So much power.. with a desolder gun
@@BTaesthetics btw i forgot to say
U should have replaced the steel plate to brass
It should fit and if not you can just sand it
And some sorbothane
i think its time to sodder on some kaihl hot swap sockets onto the ducky mecha mini.
Ha! I'm doing the same with my Ducky MM but adding Mill Max and dropping Kiwis in to start 😁
that sounds like an amazing build!
It actually could happen. HyperX and ducky did a collab even tho they are direct competiders
What are those colorful keycaps?
Putting the arrow keys at WASD is not acceptable. You can do that with uniform profile keycaps, not GMK.
Other than that, you have successfully convinced me to get a desolder gun :)
Yeah I just did that part for fun! Def not gonna keep it
Just got a gsr se for my birthday today
Hbd
I'm so sad I missed out on those keycaps. I'd have bought them in a heartbeat.
Bt can we expect the steel series wireless mouse review ?
hey bt can you please review the keychron k6 alu hotswap
aha i knew that couldnt be an actual collab. still pretty creative tho.
Something fun I’ve been wanting to do! Thanks for watching! Hopefully this video will inspire them to make it 👀
That would be hilarious, they'd have to put your name on it lol
please make a soldering tutorial! i want to do the same thing but with holy pandas but i'm too scared.
I NEVER THOUGHT THE GAME WOULD COME
In your opinion, will the Ducky Mécha SF Radiant be a good keyboard, based on your experience with the Mecha Mini and the One2 SF?
Edit: I might choose the MX Browns for switch.
I think hyperx collab was good but this one, oh man, you are popping off with this build.
I welcome our Glorious Mecha Duck overlord.
Would you recommend the Razer Viper Ultimate or the G Pro Wireless. These are my top 2 choices for my new mouse
Robber: breaks into my house
Me: hey what the hell man
Robber: where the goods at

Can you mod the Ducky Miya Pro for the linear switches?
You don’t mind doin a review on the new hyperx mouse!!!!
you know the deal 7:44
My One 2 Mini has Glorious pudding keycaps, that's about has far as I've gone down this road.
those caps are fire
Man, I clicked on this way too fast... Seeing this video immediately got me hyped.

@@matthewgb7451 they should be fine after tuning them, if not use genuine cherry stabs
my stabs on my ducky mecha mini are terrible and not lubed at all. so im gonna fix those and probably get some new keycaps because they are kinda loud
You shoulda done a gmmk compact pcb
Will the glorious pandas fit with the Ducky year of the rat edition? Like without soldering?
just got mine. There is a noticeable ping on typing and pressing keys. anyone else have this issue/ a fix for it? thanks
Hey BT! Would you by any chance know if its possible to make a ducky mecha into a hot swap? Maybe by using a dz60? I want to see it happen sooo bad
