Absolutely loved it!

[@ScoopedBar]

Thanks dude!

[@TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken]

Nice man! It´s always great to hear from the designer!!

[@ScoopedBar]

I agree! It’s cool to hear from designers because they can talk about things I would miss in the keyboard.

[@rojinbijukchhe44]

Wow!!!
What a video!!! It's an art itself.

[@ScoopedBar]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@notkws]

The design of this board really caught my attention!

[@ScoopedBar]

what is your favorite config?

[@arpeykeys]

the music got me thinking there was some dramatic plot twist lol. really cool to hear a bit from the designer!

[@ScoopedBar]

😂

[@yannikau.5331]

sounds like bakaneko60 but damn does it look 100 times more awesome. especially with GMK stealth

[@a_saker]

why scoop or bar? why not scooped bar?

[@ScoopedBar]

🧠

[@SlickSpingo]

Nice

[@fableboy10]

Were those MX Blacks stock? Was hearing some ping in the sound tests

[@ScoopedBar]

They are lubed, filmed, and spring swapped but I heard the ping as well. Not sure if this was a bad batch or what

[@fableboy10]

@@ScoopedBar Yeah could be a bad batch with the leaves, but otherwise still sounded great. Been loving those Kailh BCPs recently 😍, great video!

[@ScoopedBar]

@@fableboy10 They are one of my favorite new switches!
