When clipping stabs, you want to fully clip off the legs so that everything is flush.
Still sound okay with the bump he left, but I agree with you :) clip those mfers all the way off!
i was also thinking that lol
@@mol3manskeems it feels kind of mushy imo if you don't clip it flush
@@primary7208 they do I tend to overlube my stabs so the lube is where the leg clips would be and when I took them off I can see the lube on the pcb
@@primary7208 yea they hit the pcb. Or else Baid aid modding would be pointless. I clip and band aid my screw in and plate mount stabs.
NEO NO!! THE STABS!!! The stabs should not look like that after being clipped. 4:12 The bottom should be flat at the end, do not leave the little nub on like he did as it will make your stabs still uneven and rattly. A lot of people make this mistake and I want to help Neo and all of you. Taeha Types just released an in depth guide solely on stabilizers on his channel everyone should check out as it's probably they best guide out there for stabs right now.
I literally just got done watching that video and then he shows me that I was like lol
man fuck I just clipped the stabs and put them back together.
i did not see that but i sure could hear the rattle
@@lando634 yep after lubing and band aid modding too it sounded hollow
i'd advise people to try only lubing the spring and the stablisers for early-bump tactile switches like this one. i fully lubed my keychron low profile optical mints and it felt awful. i ended up washing everything away and re-applied lube on just the springs and stablisers. it now sounds great and retains 100% of the factory tactility which is what i bought them for.
The intro has got even better I'm actually in pain at how good it is now.
Hamaji didn't put a "walking in on a bag lubing Hamaji" joke for some reason.....
This ruined the video for me, dislike, mass reported, get nea nea’d buddy
Sad
@@hamood7645 I really thought it would become like an inside joke for his channel.
Hi, what's your finger nail clipping technique? Asking for a friend..
Lmao kwerty's here

Hamaji has two personalities; and you’ve seen both. I loved his hellish TF2 maps lol
He stopped doing tf2 lol
@@offbrandegg5378 it doesn't mean he no longer plays tf2 he most likely stopped making tf2 because he has no more ideas
@@jhonmichaelpaner316 I believe I, and I quote "doing" which I meant to imply as making content. I never mentioned playing the game whatsoever, but instead implied that he stopped making content for the game, and has moved onto keyboard content creation. I never mentioned playing the game at all.

Tip: don't throw away the bag that you used for spring lubing after you're finished with lubing all the switches. The excess oil can sometimes be enough to lube even more springs
For bag lubing springs I use Paraffin Oil (White Mineral Oil [8042-47-5]). It works great for me and the price compared to Krytox 105 is more than worlds apart. In Sweden I bought 1L (more than I will probably ever use) for around $9, krytox 105 seems to be ~$10 for ~5ml so somewhere around 200 times the price, AND I can buy this oil pretty much anywhere.
He used more than my budget on some keycaps. RIP
You eat with your eyes first
and they look like the ones on office keyboards lmao
Then the board you are looking for is the SK61. Look for wild cats modding vid on it. Also lube everything with super lube if you don't have much left in budget to buy lube. Just use very little on switches. That's what people used to do like 10 years ago before we found out about all these lubricants.
@@impeledits2779 they look nice and minimalistic actually.
@@_forestbor_6187 P R E F E R E N C E
Also GMK 8008 or GMK Olivia looks so much better than this..
2:45
So you added switch films the big brain way
Have you ever considered re-springing switches? I've never tried it but I wondered if you have, and if so, how did you prefer it?
@@noot244 ping is also a big factor, the weight of my holy pandas is pretty much perfect, but they sound like coins in a tin can, so getting better springs can change that
@@jackp3125 I agree, gold plated sprits will always sound better than whatever drop uses for their HPs
@@TheBrandoGR @Jack P
This literally doesn't make any sense.
The springs themselves do not influence the sound of the switch as a whole, and are not supposed to make any sound at all.
If they ARE making a sound, it's an annoying pinging noise, which is why you lube them (either manually with 205g0 or bag lube with GPL 105).
The only reason to change the springs is to change the actuation force of the switch.
How do some springs sound "better" to you than others? Lmao
@@massgrave8x Of course spring ping is due to a lack of lube. but gold plated springs often have a smoother surface than steel springs and thus requiring less. another likely suspect is just manufacturing processes. Sprit likely has a better manufacturing process than the Drop springs and most other steel springs I've used in the past just due to the increase in price. When I say gold plated springs sound better, I mean it's easier to get rid of that ping. Don't say things don't make sense when there are a number of reasons why they might.
@@TheBrandoGR I suppose that can be true but I don't understand why someone wouldn't lube the spring if they're already lubing the rest of the switch, which would negate any differences between the materials the springs are made from, but oh well.
The Films also get rid of that ABSURD housing wobble. That's a big thing for me.
I have a question, how do the films eliminate stem wobble? Don't they just swit between the switch's top and bottom housing?
hamaji neo made me have interest on mechanical keyboards, your vids are so clean and amazing, please keep it up
Those T1's sound WAY better then I had imagined
T1's must be filmed in order to have this kind of sound; their housings are not tight enough, so you have to film them. With 0.2mm films the results are even better, on pair with HPs sounding profile. You can swap the top housing to a Outemu with-slot to reduce even further the wobble.
@@myouren deskeys .3mm sound great on them. films are an easy addition and only cost a few bucks. T1's is one of the best switches overall ever made
It's interesting
1:33 I don’t recommend lubing the center hole, if you put too much lube in the center it’s going to kill the switch sound
I love my entry NK65 purple. I also got the RandomfrankP version coming in later this year. I also ordered a Awaken edition entry NK. I guess you could say I like NK boards. They are like NIke's to me lol
I love this thing so much. I’m getting it when it restocks
The Nk65 also benefits from adding some foam between the plate and pcb. I happened to have some precut foam for a different 65% board that I modified and added in, but it really takes the board to a whole other level.
"Priced at 69 US dollars. Nice."
Nice indeed
He said a good budget price smh
@@Aminfizaoui he was joking abt the price as well
@@fut6326 Ik lmao
I'm a little confused as to which lube you ended up using; At the beginning you said you used Krytox 203g0. However, during the typing test, your on-screen text said Krytox 205g0. Did you change it later, or was that a type-o?
KBDFans also has a white on black keycap set for $69 as well as a cherry profile Miami Nights and Dolch with blue/yellow legends
Also, have you seen the KBD67 lite? It has plate mount stabs
Ooo, some smooth af music, love it, great volume too
I was able to snag an nk87 on sale recently and built it out with some box jades and honestly this is the best keyboard I've ever owned. For 100$ these NK boards cant be beat imo especially the newer versions that have board mounted stabs.
I thought you’re supposed to band aid the pcb, you can do it for stabs on the plate too? Or was I just wrong in the first place
Only for pcb mount stabs, nk65 uses plate mount.
After watching this video after 5 months again, and now havin my own self built keyboard (didn't get a barebones). I have learned that I probably need to do two things:
1. get switch films
2. possibly band-aid mod my screw in stabs somehow. (they are already lubed and ho-lee'd)
3. Optionally get an alu case for the clickityclackity perfection
I have a quik question, Im currently looking at buying nk65 entry edition but there is something that I need to know. Im from one of the nordic countries ( sweden, denmark, norway...) and is there a way in via or qmk to make a nordic layout for the keyboard?
I came back to watch this after getting a second-hand NK65 alu. Mine needs a lot of work, specially the stabs, they sound terribe and some are super mushy
I noticed on 3:02 that your right thumb has a dark line from top to bottom. My uncle had the same but his was even darker. He went to the doctor and he was diagnosed with skin cancer.
I would recommend visiting a doctor.
mans straight up spent 69 dollars on keycaps to make it look look like an office keyboard, but still is a very nice keyboard
I've got a nk65 atomic purple with lubed gateron yellows. KPrepublic PBT keycaps. With a desk mat, it sounds like BUTTER. I agree that the spacebar/ stabilizers rattle a bit. I'm going to try the band- aid mod this weekend. Thanks for the great upload!
Damn, this makes me even more sad that I missed the recent restock of NK65's Entry Edition. This yee yee ass k552 I have is sooooo loud!
If they had the board in iso i'd be sad as well
this sounded INCREDIBLE
That board looks so nice im a sucker for those White on black keycaps they pair nicely with almost any build
Bro some foam, burger mod on tray mount, o-ring mod, holee mod and tape mod on pcb imagine how this board would have sound
fuck that is a nice sounding board. NK65 EE is such a killer board for the price.
It's calming to know there are crazier people than me when it's about key sound. But my craziness is the mouse click, especially the middle and the wheel.
What the heck, man. Those switches sound illegally good.
mmm that smooth jazz intro and crisp vocals. im ready for another hamaji video.
So I'm not the only one who loves flipped space bars!
You can use any lube you want with tactile switches as long as you don't lube the tactile legs.
why do you use 205g0 for stab wires, instead of dielectric grease for wires and 205g0 for housings?
I think he just likes it better. He said it in one of his past videos. Something about it feeling more greasy with dielectric grease or smthn.
Problem with lubing exposed parts is that it will attract and hold onto alot of dust and after a while it will clog up the movement and won't be as responsive anymore.
Whenever I was playing TF2 I would watch him isn't the day that I want to get a gaming keyboard he starts making keyboard videos
0:22 i recently got the pom t1's and they are really good
And now I want an NK65
Dang
Good luck finding one
I did the tape on both side. Cause one of my stabilizer is super shaky. And the other one was stable.
I HIGHLY recommend trying Halo stems in those T1's! Recently built a keeb with them (Holy Wei's) and they've definitely become my favorite switch by far.
Copped those switches from rebult as well thanks to your recommendation from the Noir Rose video!
Some of the screws in my build are stripped.. can I get a link to purchase as I am not familiar with screws
0:53 I believe 203g0 is just the equivalent of trybosys 3203? its not the same stuff?
Where do you buy your lube? I have been trying to find a vender that sells 205g0 in larger amounts, and I can't seem to find one.
Getting ready to build my first keyboard went with a kdbfans 5 degree, with alpaca linears lubed with krytox 205g0 filmed with deskys and getting not sure what stabs ima get yet but so far thats what I got. Thoughts?
BRUH WHEN IS THE KEYBOARD REACT COMIN
next video :)
@@hamajineo alr bet
I saw the t1's and instantly smiled, I love my t1s!
same man
They are very good if you know what you're doing when lubing and filming.
Yes, but does your camera focus this good
i really want that atomic purple case. so beautiful
Just ordered my NK65 entry from the restock!
Side question - Who made your animated desktop background?
I actually really want an nk65 but can't find one
Wait Hamaji only has 270k, why doesn’t he have 1mil his video quality is better than some big youtubers.
When lubing the switch dont lube the leaf side inside the housing. You're losing tactility if you lube it
Why can't you just bag lube the stems with the oil? Its thinner so over-lubing is less likely and you'll get a more even coating on. Also you'll save a stupid animal from choking on that good plastic.
Also you can try "tuning" your stabiliser by sticking BlueTak underneath the keycap
Not saying that I’m deciding to get a custom keyboard soon, but it seems really hard to get them when they are groups buys and limited only.
Is it just me, or the space bar still rattl a bit? (Not an expert, had only build a few times, so please tell me if I am wrong🙃)
Hey, a bit late to probably get a response but how does one properly lube switches when they have a tube of lube instead of a container with a screw top, I got for 205g0 from amazon and it came in a tube.
If hamaji made an entire build with no editing no matter how long it is im going to watch the whole thing
Did you clip the stabs wrong? I thought you had to get rid of the entire leg, and you left a bit
yeeessss i needed this video bcs im getting an nk65 soon
I never understood which part of the stabilizer you have to cut..
How long do they take to deliver to SG
And also where do you normal get kb stuff like switches in SG? I only know ilumkb :/
This man has a storage tray full of lube, I only have e bottles, damn Hamaji, you’re truly the maddest lad
Wow that spacebar is godlike
Hold up. My NK65s didn't have stabs with claws that needed clipped. Is that something on the first run boards?
Anyone know when the nk65 entry will be restocked? I’ve signed up for notifications but havnt received any emails over the last few drops
7:25 where is the NUT sound effect? It s the best part of the video, do it! Press da button
I just got into mechanical keyboards and I really want to build one and I saw the NK65 entry edition case ( the translucent ones ). Are there any other options to buying it / when are they restocking?
Is the entry edition (polycarbonate) more durable and scratch resistant than the v2 aluminum (aluminum obviously)? Or is it the opposite
Hamaji, can we use durock v2 stabs for this keyboard?
is this kind of custom self made keyboards better then let's say a razer black widow for example?
Obviously lol
Hamaji: '$69 budget keycaps'
Me: *Cries in poverty*
I WENT FURTHER IN THE VIDEO AND $110 KEYCAPS
His video is so good. People can underatand how to make their own keyboard by watching these vids
Flipped spacebar gang😎
GMK wob is 🔥such a clean GMK set. Great set to get if you want to try GMK before entering a GB.
It's a retarded set to try GMK with since there are loads of other wob sets out there that are still high quality. It's just wob it isn't interesting at all.
The only reason to buy GMK is for the colors, the legend quality is a silly reason especially since sets that are literally 40$ are already really clean like HK gaming
@@roboticvenom1935 come on dude you shouldn’t use that kind of language. We are all friends here who enjoy keyboard. WOB is a great set for someone who wants GMK quality but doesn’t want to wait a year. Also some people might like a clean black look. Thats the beauty of custom keyboards everything bout it is you chooses. So stop being toxic and enjoy the Hamaji’s content.
@@duncanmattson475 I enjoy the content lol. The idea of gmk quality is moronic and you're encouraging people to buy black wob as their first set which is a bad idea. The ONLY thing you get is slightly better legend quality which is extremely hard to tell from normal typing distance especially when compared to a JTK set.
@@roboticvenom1935 Okay buddy! 👌You have your opinion and I have mine. Everything is subjective and I like GMK WOB. That doesn’t mean you or anyone else has to like it. I was just say it is the most readily available GMK set. Which makes it nice for beginners who want to try GMK. That is just a fact. If people aren’t interested in GMK or don’t like the color way then they don’t have to buy it.
@@duncanmattson475 I know you like it because it's GMK lmao
let me tell u, my only custom keybored that I have ever owned is the NK65, he makes it look bad... the stabs just need holee modded, I have lubed gateron yellows with a Novelkeys cream stem and lubed with crytox 205g0 with switch films (sorry idk what they are) i have a set of epbt keycaps that only cost 35$ and in my opinioin are perfect, you don't get that crazy "thocc" but it really does sound nice. Im just saying that even tho hamaji makes it sound like u need to spend a lot of money you can get a great keybored for under $150. :)
...Btw something i would complain about the NK65 is the weak plastic, now holes that used to hold the screws after taking it apart once, so don't try to take apart the keybored it is just silicone if ur curious, but it will break it and make it creak and that will make u cringe if u don't know how to fix it.
Bottom left at 7:30, shouldn't that be 203g0 and not 205g0?
Can u make a buil with silent switches( Aliaz, U4 boba or zilents)
i bag lubed my creams springs with 205g0 and they all got tangled and was a nightmare to separate
ikr, i didn’t use 205g0 but all my springs were all bunched up and tangled after bag lubing
Angled spacebar, really Hamaji Neo?
Keyboards in 2030 : new membrainachal keynoard coming out soon!
What program do you use to test your Words Per Minute? Thanks!
I almost died lubing my keyboard. The stab wounds are still here after 5 months.
Can you compare the difference between GMK's and ePBT's ABS keycaps?
Oh my that brush has seen some better days
hi, i was thinking on buying a keychron k4 but I wanted to know your opinion on that keboard.
Can you do upgrading a red dragon k552 i wanna se if its worth upgrading
If possible, can you state how much you are amplifying the sound test if any
Just curious, has anyone tried 3D printing switch films?? How well would PLA or PETG work for this application?
Wait you lubing the switch with that much lube? Maybe im gonna relube my switch
