시청해 주셔서 감사합니다! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡
Did you guys enjoy the Taeha Talks segment?
yeah it was dope honestly I love these style of videos. Keep doing what you're doing man good stuff.
I think its a good idea and a way for u to diversify so I hope you can keep it up
Fresh take on vids! Although, there was no music audio.
Yes, I left a comment but I’ll leave it here too. You should build a gundam on stream
He explains why before he plays the vinyl lol
I remember you mentioning on stream a while back about your impressions on diversifying the channel. A "Taeha Talks" is something i believe a lot of viewers would love to see. It allows you to expand more on your channel and express your other interests! I'd love to see how this goes!
Thank you!
Loving the new keebs + vynil + Taeha Talks mix, its a great way to bring some of the elements of the streams over to RUclips
Thank you!
This.
I don't have the time to watch streams, so a condensed version is very much appreciated.
Also, Taeha has a very nice voice to listen to.
Welcome back.
Thank you Hipyo!

I really like the Taeha Tallks segment. I have quit the hobby months ago but i regularly check up on what's happening and from stream highlights and sound tests to this? I really really love the concept and what you're doing. Actual in depth review of a board from one of the OGs of the hobby is such a delight to watch + the ambiance and aesthetic. Please continue doing this whether you separate the talks part and the board review or join em up i'd gladly watch them both.
love the chill vibe, so glad to have you back mr. types :)
Even if I am never buying the board, or just stopped caring about keyboards, I will always enjoy a good Taeha video. Just such clean presentation, music choice, etc. Also really dig Adoy, good recommendation.
Love to see you making this sort of content again dude ❤
Enjoyed the hell out of this video! Your Mode Envoy review was very grounded, detailed & thorough.
The ‘Taeha Talks’ piece was a great surprise! Loved the idea of a 1on1 or Q&A with you. A podcast would be such an amazing thing, I think it’s a very popular medium and is something that if set up correctly, would bring on a whole new audience. Whether it’s a variety show where keyboards, photography, music is discussed, or something more focused. I think it would be another way to enjoy your content without having to be live for your streams and in addition to your videos ❤️ overall, can count on my support!
Thank you for the support! Definitely want to do a podcast, just trying to think of enough material for at least a season before making anything
@@TaehaTypes Have you considered talking about gb's, budget boards and raffles and the direction the hobby is going now that it is getting more mainstream?
@@ProtomanZ Definitely crossed my mind, but not a huge priority for me in terms of content I want to put out right now (also just insanely hard to keep up with everything that comes out right now haha)
and da 80's hair do
Great video Mr. Taeha! Very detailed and informative. Love the Taeha Talks segment, adoy was one of the first artists i really liked on stream, so i'm glad they're featured here. We're only waiting for the pod now. Excited to see you stream again lol
Loved the Taeha Talks segment! Would love to hear you talk more about vinyl and hifi and how to get into the hobby!
Will do!
Man loved this video, so in depth and I always value your opinion. Keep up the incredible work!
Thank you CAPTAIN
Hello! Thanks for the artist recommendation; I’m really digging Adoy! I think a coffee table book could be a super cool merch idea. With your personal prints of architecture, keyboards, landscapes, anything really. You’re awesome! Keep it up!
I’m a fan of this new format. Keep it up Taeha!!!
Thank you!
"not an audiophile" with rega p5 :) I would LOVE to hear you talk more about vinyl!!
Haha hoping to share more! I am still a noob so please correct me respectfully if I get anything wrong owo
@@TaehaTypes omg, a reply. I'm a big fan :) bought merch for me and my fiancé when it launched. Been following your content for 4 years now! I cannot express how cool the Tahea Talks segment is, also I really enjoyed the co-listening part.
+ that turntable is a beauty, unfortunately out of my budget. I recently upgraded and rega p3 and cambridge audio were my first choices :) I get these similar scandinavian vibes from your aesthetic sometimes, which is kinda comfy
The smooth jazz playing the background coupled with your voice really kept me watching the video ngl lol. Def got a new subscriber.
I joined the hobby during the pandemic... but quit after a year +, realising this is too expensive a hobby to sustain in long run. But I am still interested and watching your video and talk, like somekind of therapy... very calming. Whatever you do in this channel, I am sure it will be great.
yeah honestly I realized that I probably won't build an actual 200$ plus keyboard until have some good money laying around even then idk because for me I can get everything I want in a 100$ keyboard even hotswap and pre lubed for that price. After seeing how much cheaper it has gotten I just cant see the point of spending that much, I get it but its just not for me. I got a TH80 on prime day for 75$ down from 90$ I know its not all that and that people would probably not even call it custom but its perfect for me, in the future I'm definitely going to be trying out new switches . Also my buddy has GMMK pro with lubed pandas and my keyboard feels very very similar its just missing a slight metal sound and feel.
Whoa a Tahea video. Yes please. Great review and build video. Been on the fence for an Envoy...too many 65s in my collection already. However, I know I'll end up getting one in the future. Love the Tahea Talks section, very personal and interesting to see what other hobbies you are in to. Well done!
Enjoyed the Taeha Talks segment, love to see you evolve! Question/topic for the possible next one: Can you give a brief overview of your vinyl set up, please?
Taeha, you might be known as the keyboard god but the truly special thing about your channel is the aesthetic and the way you present your thoughts. Hell, I'd be just as happy to watch you cook as I am to watch you build, mod and type!
I think this speaks volumes that the board you are comparing the Envoy to is the Unikorn. Love the vid and the format, keep it up Taeha!
If I recall, you mentioned you got into keyboards as a result of being a programmer - id be super interested in hearing if you still program & if so, any passion projects / tech you find interesting in that space would be neat for Taeha Talks
Im so excited for you to make audio-related videos...like about your vinyl collection and speaker set
You made me start looking into this hobby, always a pleasure to watch your videos, they are so enjoyable
Good to have you back.
Thank you!
I had pulled the trigger on one of these a few months ago, just waiting for it to arrive at this point. It'll be my 4th keeb. I honestly can't wait to build it when it comes in.
Edit: After watching the video. I genuinely really liked this format. Your style of presentation makes it very easy to just...enjoy and follow. The passion that you generally hold in regards to keyboards means that whatever other hobbies that you present, will probably have around the same level of passion.
The only thing I'd say about the new mode keyboard is it probably has a good ability to be muted with both sets of foam installed which I personally like. The only thing I'm kind of curious about the lack of aluminum low profile cases for sale. It would be interesting to see why they're not as used as full height cases. I love all three sets of keycaps as well so pluses all around
Love how chill this video felt and the new content is great i really enjoyed it.
Loved the video
What I would like to hear you about:
- latest album you've been listening, like short gonzo reviews (no technicisms)
- your "buying lists" or "latest buys" in vynil/music
Will take consideration for this! Been trying to slow down on vinyl but yea sharing my latest purchases is something I already do on stream when applicable so makes sense
i LOVE the listen along to the album idea, really dig the recommendation
glad you liked it!
❤ good to see the new approach on the main channel taeha whatever ur up for im along for the ride 🙏👌
Really love the look, feel and style of your current setup and content. Great work Taeha much love and awesome board from Mode!
Loved hearing about your interest in music, the HD800S are an excellent set of cans I daily drive also. I'd love to know more about the setup you're running.
Hey Taeha, really liking the new segment and highly appreciate you recommending artists to listen to. Keep it up!
Gonna need more videos like this one. Great stuff!
been waiting on this video for a bit now, thank you taeha
Yo new video production quality is lowkey goated ngl
Thank you!
This new format is absolutely killer 💯 I can watch these all day!
these past 2 years have been a blessing for budget boards
agreed!
I mean yes but no, theyre not doing this cause they are kind. They just notice a market segment that isn't being met demand wise by anyone yet, so they're all launching products to fill that gap and get a share of that segment.
@@simplyruben3184 what does this have to do with what they said
I like this format, and the music! Keep the Taeha Talks segment. It gives a nice "chat with a friend" vibe.
I like the talking segment. Introducing new music while replying to comments. I probably should check out your livestream :)
As a brand designer, I've noticed that the mechanical keyboard landscape is filled with a many great keyboards, but there seems to be a lack of storytelling behind them. Introducing a meaningful storytelling element to the keyboards could be a fantastic way to introduce the beginners into the hobby.
For sure! I think story-telling in general is lacking in this hobby but hoping I can help contribute in some way
Very sick edit on the videos and the Q&A segment! share more of the music & photography as well! Congrats on your marriage
man i haven't seen a keyboard video in like 5 months and this is what i am greeted with. I am now officialy a keyboard enthusest
More of this man! Been missing your yt vods too
Really cool new format! One thing though, I feel like the music was a bit too loud, other than that looking forward to the YT return!
Yo Taeha talks is a must! I think photography videos like James Popsys with you showing off more vinyl for us to listen to would be the most entertaining content. The way you have done the lighting and colors for your videos has always been excellent see ya Nerd.
Adoy is a great band my favorite song from them is Grace! Glad you featured them in your video
Fellow Adoy enjoyer 🤝
Great video! It's nice to see you expending the theme of your videos. Thanks for the music recommendation! Btw, what mic is this?
One of my fav videos from you. More of this please!
@@TaehaTypesextremely approachable video. Well done.
What don’t you like about using foam?
Any chance you can give some details about the bag in the video? It's pretty sweet!
Papa Taeha praising the envoy in this way makes me look forward to my envoy even more now.
Nice to see more angle shots and new environment spaces
Do you think you could make a video on photography one day? One that helps amatuers learn about how to take great photos like you? Some examples of the content of that video would be like what angles are great for taking the photos, how to setup lighting and backgrounds/backdrops and also photo composition? All tips that could be used by people who use professional cameras or also people who just want to take great pictures with their phones. Keep up the great work!
Are you coming to the San Jose meetup on saturday??
Enjoyed the talk segment. Nice review, looks like a great keyboard.
Ah nice. I've been into records for about 15 years and I'm recently getting into building my first custom keyboard.
Nice Rega P6 with Hana cartridge you've got there!
Please Mr. Taeha we need the sauce on that sweet tote bag ! In that same line of thoughts, would love for you to have a Taeha Talks about where you get your clothing style inspiration from
Honestly, I would enjoy some fashion videos. You have a really nice aesthetic and a quick entry guide into streetwear or just your personal favorite brands would be awesome.
i really like the artist recommendation near the end . would love to see more of that
Awesome video! I'd love to see one on the Bakeneko which is still my daily and amazing value IMO
Welcome back, even though maybe you haven't really been away officially. Interesting content
I keep going back and forth on the Envoy simply because I already have two 65 percents on the way but you just made it harder to resist. Thanks a lot. 😅
I really like the panning shot of Zoro with the keebs :)
zoro is goated
@@TaehaTypes 1062 is his time to shine
I really enjoy the looks of my Envoy, but I struggled with liking the whole keyboard for quite a while because the screws really ruined the sound and feel of the board for me. Even just barely threaded on. Alexotos mentioned on his stream that he recommended unscrewing the screws completely, and that's when I finally started enjoying the whole keyboard - looks, sound and feel.
So if you are having issues with case ping and an uneven feel specifically around the screws; try removing them.
I take my keyboard to-and-from work, so it is a bit annoying to have to unscrew and thread on the screws every time, but it is something I am willing to live with.
the green looks so good.
Hope you make more videos like this! Ive recently join the GB on envoy, i wonder does changing the weights on envoy change how it sounds also?
just a little
You should start linking the music used in your videos, you always rip out some absolute bangers! (especially loved the one at 5:45) :)
I hope you get paid a lot for your sponsorships because your product reviews and comments have a TREMENDOUS influence on my keyboard buying decisions. You’ve always been honest and reliable with your reviews; I hope you consider all the trust that your viewers have in you when you make those sponsorship decisions!
Where's that bag from at 10:58?
Your filming style is beautiful. I'd love for videography content! You could even easily incorporate keyboards in these. I'm sure no one would complain with examples of footage & editing styles coupled with some keyboard asmr.
I enjoyed this segmant, and that record was truly very relaxing. Thank you for sharing
Hi @TaehaTypes, what plate did you use for the Gateron Oil King switches in this video? They sound so good. 👍
The new segment is pretty refreshing and a nice idea to transition/expand to more content! Also thanks for the introducing the mode envoy, 65% is probably too different of a use case for me to adapt to ;( sonnet costs so much and half of the options arent even available anymore - any idea what's up with that?
What shirt is Taeha wearing? I know he likes Kith so I believe it might be one.
Also i really like how this board is assembled. There are boards that I have had that I have sold or ones that I have avoided just because the assembly process is a bit cumbersome.
For example, the Kei is a great board, but they way that the Kei R2 oring is mounted is annoying to me.
Great video
Reviews the stuff you're passionate about would be perfectly fine! Learning your thought process of why you'd choose one thing over the other, etc.
Taeha, I mean this with the most respect possible; I could listen to your voice over jazz talk about literally anything.
In all seriousness though, could you do a video or series where you attempt to design the perfect keyboard on paper, then perhaps try to build it with existing parts?
Great production quality, the vibe is good with the background music but I hope the music can be lower a bit.
audio gear and music reviews would be pretty neat
I'm happy some people know ADOY too! They're such a good band, I've been listening to their music for such quite a while now! really perfect sound for a chill day :D
get ready for the best keyboard youtuber of all time
honestly this was a very nice video to watch. Im not much for suggestions but this was nice and relaxing!
Taeha!!! Love the video! the colors are amazing! And of course you grab an
ADOY Album
haha too good not to share!
Would love to see you do some coffee content too Taeha! I see so many friends in the hobby who also go down the coffee rabbit hole - I think the mindfulness of making a cup of coffee is so similar to that of building a board.
I do love coffee, can expect some in the future!
Could you make an updated switch guide? Maybe a more technical one. There are just too man recolors, it's very hard to not just buy all but wisely pick what to hord. Maybe materials, spring weights, issues like wobble, crunch, ping. Different tacticle styles like the Clickiez, Alps / Matias or topre.
Maybe switch modding? Like filming, spring swaps, break-in, lubing?
I've not really been into vinyls before but one of my favorite producer Macross 82-99 has started releasing vinyls of his albums and I've been eagerly grabbing them as they pass by... I don'T know how wide I'll cast a new from now on for vinyls but every collection needs a beginning right 😁
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been listening to a lot of Glen Check the past year (Korean indie band as well), so Adoy is right in my alley.
Ooo never heard of them but liking them so far!
Loved the detail in the review, mini interview section was nice! :)
@TaehaTypes I’d also love to know what that bag is that you pull the Envoy from
I missed your videos Taeha
A podcast could be awesome. Hearing from you and the other big names in keeb would be a great tool to navigate this weird keyboard era.
The Mode Envoy is definitely gonna be my next keyboard
would you say the hollowness goes away from the case if you use the PC case instead of the alu case on the enovy? Great review :)
What mic is that? It looks slick and sounds really good
So I never bought the Mode Envoy (although I’m going to after this video) I bought a similar board called the Zoo65. Can fully confirm, a lot of the cheaper keyboards are getting good
The keyboard looks great! Do you know if the pcb is ISOas well or ASNI only? :)
Please please please do more of these kinds of videos!
I'd heavily agree with Marques's tweet. I'm a big gummy o-ring enjoyer and I'd love a Unikorn one day but I just don't fancy paying an artificially inflated 3-4x upcharge on the aftermarket. I think it goes without saying the designers and folks at Singa are also probably very disappointed to see a 400-500 dollar keyboard flip for like 2k, making it very inaccessible to people who actually want the board, vs. people who don't care about the board and just want to squeeze money out of people that do. So lower-end boards taking cues from the high end scene is going to be very important in order to keep making banger products that can do well
Hi thanks for the vidéo do you try fr4 plate ?
You are so wonderful, I really like these videos.
no YOU are wonderful
welcome back :)
tenk you glacier!
Taeha! a newb keeb builder here. how is MDA profile keycaps on typing vs cherrys? bought a m1, but keycaps cost so much other then mda profiles
