*LOOOOOOOTTTTTTSS* of research! Day 683 of my epic journey for the best custom bang-for-your-buck productivity keyboard with _noice_ tactile switches similar to alps oranges and no answers yet...
Yup, backed out of building a custom keyboard like 3 times over several years, and that was after I had already owned a couple MKs and a couple keycap sets and understood most of the basics that were reviewed in this video. You really need to limit your expectations too, some "simple" ideas can cost insane amounts to actually make, if it's even possible at all without spending thousands to mold them yourself. If you try to go for somthing too out there, chances are you won't get what you were looking for and you won't like it much, if it even functions at all as a whole. Good to research some basics, and check what parts are actually available before getting too invested in any ideas. Though researching for too long can also change that availability. But happily I've almost got my first keyboard build all wrapped up, just waiting on switch lube, but has been well worth all the time and effort, and I'm glad I held off all those times to get somthing that I know I'll love and that I could 100% actually put together for a reasonable price (atleast as far as MKs go)
Ikr i lost all my brain cells and my keeb custom build costs atound 100$ which is considered budget for some reason. And yet i lost all of my brain cells while doing shit tonn or research i still don't know if it will work out, still waiting for the rest to come
Can we pause for a moment and just appreciate Sara's conversation and interview skills?! Gotta love it. Man I would love to have a conversation to Sara!!!
Albert Alvarez Dude like I said, it’s preference. That’s why they have a huge listing of switches on kbdfans and novel keys. Your money, your decision, and it’s your keyboard. Why do you care so much.
@@Adem-nl8pd because this video is introducing a huge amount of people to custom keyboards, and instead of showing people that there are alot of popular switches outside of cherry mx switches, as well as trying them yourself. Using browns is lazy and makes this a pretty bad video imo
@@beanwithbacon she said in the video that she delegated it. So now all of the sudden it's more of a question of how much time does her assistant want to spend on the clock doing research. When I first started, I read threads and forums for weeks, but it was for fun, not as a job.
@@StickmanAirsoftPH it's a bit of a meme but it's pretty accurate - went from MX browns to Kailh box brown and the difference is night and day, the MX browns are like halfway between a properly tactile switch and linears
@@Emily-fm7pt Oh yes forsure, but at the start you won't make that profit, I've seen people profit from this hobby, from artisans to keycap sets but I've also seen people lose a lot of money from this hobby. It all depends on buying the right things if you want to resell it so you can get profit. Also not everyone thinks of flipping them so if they keep it and not flip it, it will forsure destroy your wallet.
What i have learnt from this video: 1. Never build a 40% 2. Don’t spend my $400 on a custom mk till i Know what I’m doing 3. I want to make mk Wales for breakfast
Nothing wrong with 40%. If you're willing to learn the new layout, it's actually more ergonomic and you can fit even more keys in there than a a full size, thanks to modifiers.
Watching the first 9 minutes of this video literally brought me back to before I got into this hobby. Where I thought there was just one 'real' profile of keycaps, Cherry MX was the best switch type, and Logitech had the best keyboards... Now I'm just sitting here with my 5 keyboards on top of 4 deskmats and knee deep in group buys that I'll only get to touch by 2022. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is the Custom Mechanical Keyboard community, Sara.
"The theme of the video is just failure" Not even playin this vid was so great lol. Loved it. You gotta actually try new stuff to truly learn it. To pull a page from Johns book: "Progress daily, and keep killin it!"
If she instead built a 65% and did extensive research before building a mechanical keyboard AND MOST IMPORTANTLY try and find the switch type that you find comfortable with it would have been better.
15:24 that's surprisingly unspecific thing to say by someone who's supposedly an expert. GMK happens to only make Cherry profile caps as far as I know, but GMK is the company and Cherry is the keycap profile...
This is such a failure. You miss keys that you need. Keycaps are mixed up. You didn't build anything, except putting on keycaps. And most importantly it's ortholinear lol
hey Sara! this is such a random question but at 9:00 in, in the background, what is that art piece that kind of looks like a picture frame/3d picture frame on your shelf, with the 5 colored balls bouncing around in it? I absolutely love it and would love to know where you got it or if you built it?! thank you!
I am completely new here and when she put on Glasses and tied her hair back I immediately realised how no one can recognise Supergirl/Power Girl, because she looked like a totally different person lol.
What is that thing when shes standing and wearing the glasses in the background? Looks like 4 balls bouncing around in that frame on the shelf. Where do you buy that thing at? I need I a link lol.
I love this video! Seriously. It is very rare to hear about projects that DIDN'T go as planned. Cool to hear about the journey too. Great video for real.
Huh? GMK profile? What? There's no such thing as GMK profile, what she is referring to is cherry profile. GMK is the brand that manufactures cherry profile keycaps.
Now is a bad year to make a new build. I'd. Scalpers everywhere and low stocks. Also, I don't recommend a 40% as a first build. It lacks way too many important keys. If your keyboard slows you down, then you need a bigger one. Never let the form > function crowd influence your decision.
Hey don’t be so hard on yourself! Mk community is about failure all the time (soldering/desoldering/too much lube/missing gbs, etc.) but the fun is in fixing things too. Good luck with your mk and cooking(?) journey lol!
I am a subscriber. Make a video on how to get yt to give us our notifications back.. Its been over two weeks and i dont get notifications anymore, on my end everything is good, they just stopped sending them..
*Sara trying to disarm expectations* RUclips comments: "Nah you go ahead and get this hate" 😂😂 You had a little too much fun "hittin the booty" 🤣 Honestly, I never thought of making my own keyboard but it looks pretty cool. You literally opened my mind up to something that I've never thought of. Thanks for making this video 😄 Also, when you stood up after realizing that you didn't have the switches, my thought was, "wow Sara is much shorter than I thought or that chair is really high off the ground".
For that kind of money you could have picked up a nice newly manufactured model F. Say what you will about the sound, they _feel_ amazing to type and game on!
You relied on someone else inexperience and multiplied it by your own. Not a criticism really, it's how most of us start out. I hope you choose to make another keyboard in the future.
Why is that an issue? Keyboards don't need to use USB-C (no keyboard uses anywhere near the full capacity or power as they just poll at 1khz). Many keyboards using QMK firmware don't even work properly USB-C to USB-C without the proper orientation unless they set the daughter board up to cross. As such, switches and switch feel (and cost to quality ratio) is way more important than what plug you use. There are generally better feeling tactile switches out there, for much less money, than Cherry Browns. Kailh Pro Purples come to mind as well Gateron Brown off the top of my head. For not much more you can pick up Aliaz silent tactile switches as well and those have a much better sound and feel. That being said, no the plug doesn't matter functionally at all, especially not compared to the switches. But it's hotswap, so she can get a tester or a sample pack and pop em in.
@@riccardoventuraleone5908 60% and smaller boards have to be the dumbest most hipster of an idea to ever bleed into the PC market. Charge the same, if not more for A LOT less. It's just the moronic Apple user mindset that form matters more than function...
Thats the beauty of custom keyboards is that no one has to build what makes sense but only you just them. As an example im building a main 65% keyboard because I dont have much desk space since a 43 in wide desk is all I can fit in my room and I could grab both ends of it with no problem. I'm planning on building another 60 dedicated exclusively for macros for editing photos and videos because I dont have space on my desk for a stream deck and just want something I can truly customize to my experience.
@@beanwithbacon You really missed the whole message man. For someone who edits photos and videos as a side hustle where time is money those function keys won't be enough to do anything with. To me those are absolutely useless in my case and a big eye sore cosmetically. Also since space is an issue for me, like I said before id rather just have a dedicated macro board with all custom short cuts that I can just plop in my lap and hit without having to look. Again thats MY preference though. Also just to really trigger you go look up a board called the 27 keys of pain then tell me thats useless 🙂
I'm a software engineer. I got an ortholinear to try out, and it SUCKED. The problem with 40% ortho is that you will miss having essential keys. Try writing a program without using symbols like '(', ')', '[', '_', or '-'. You don't know how much you type a key until you have to relearn it. Yeah, there is an alias layer, but try being efficient in a Linux terminal without semi-colon, pipe, or hyphen. Disaster. If all you're doing is writing plain English with no special punctuation. 40% ortho is great. If you have any use for symbols, numbers, or anything else not in core a-z, do yourself a favor and get a keyboard with those on it. Life will be so much easier.
Comment before watching video: all I expect is that you did your research before starting I mean.. not being able to sauter is one of the biggest reasons people don’t build keebs so you could have done that but it’s all preference so who cares. Knowing keycap sizes would have made it easier.. actually starting with anything other than a ortholinear would make it a lot easier but you did amazing!!
Okay I am sure that someone has asked this in the past but I have never seen this before. What is that lava lamp type thing in the back at 9:45? Edit: OOOOhhhhhh it is animated on a screen??? lol
This reminds me of my first KB, OLKB with mx browns. I was sooooo happy when it was finally built. Did not know about lubing and modding then, did not care. Just enjoyed the fruits of my labor. FF a few years to now: Waiting for the last package to arrive and ready to build a modded KBD65 with 67g Zealios. I really enjoyed your video. Reminded me of that giddy feeling I got when I built that OLKB.
Build 40% keyboard : “I’m overheating” Me build 60% : “F*ck” It’s funny because when i watch taehatypes videos & livestreams, it’s look like easy as f*ck, but when i do it myself, oh f*ck it’s hard :’)

when you build a custom and still use cherry browns
When you can build a keyboard with whatever you want, because it’s your money and your preference.
@@Adem-nl8pd I mean when your building a custom for 400 bucks wouldn't you want some better switches than cheaply made cherry mx browns

Some group buys will have an ortholinear set but yeah just easy and available is hard to find.
that's what I did too! It doesn't take that long to get used to it tbh
yeah as she pulled out more and more stuff, I was like omg noooo

All these keyboard nerds asking about switches when they're all passing over the glaring issue of using micro-usb.
Why is that an issue? Keyboards don't need to use USB-C (no keyboard uses anywhere near the full capacity or power as they just poll at 1khz).

I'm a software engineer. I got an ortholinear to try out, and it SUCKED. The problem with 40% ortho is that you will miss having essential keys. Try writing a program without using symbols like '(', ')', '[', '_', or '-'. You don't know how much you type a key until you have to relearn it. Yeah, there is an alias layer, but try being efficient in a Linux terminal without semi-colon, pipe, or hyphen. Disaster.
If all you're doing is writing plain English with no special punctuation. 40% ortho is great. If you have any use for symbols, numbers, or anything else not in core a-z, do yourself a favor and get a keyboard with those on it. Life will be so much easier.
I'm a beginner programmer and even my 60% is barely enough
what is that moving egg thingy majig on your right on the shelve??!?!
Infinite objects!
Comment before watching video: all I expect is that you did your research before starting
I mean.. not being able to sauter is one of the biggest reasons people don’t build keebs so you could have done that but it’s all preference so who cares. Knowing keycap sizes would have made it easier.. actually starting with anything other than a ortholinear would make it a lot easier but you did amazing!!
Missing colon, you say? You could be in the shit with that one.
This entire video makes me irrationally frustrated
Nice video, but wait what storage drawer set is that at "01:20" ?
Okay I am sure that someone has asked this in the past but I have never seen this before. What is that lava lamp type thing in the back at 9:45?
Edit: OOOOhhhhhh it is animated on a screen??? lol
Bruh 400 dollar keyboard with browns why
Congratulations! I hope you build many more =). Glad to see someone I regularly watch take a shot at keyboards!
Those reds you used are pretty scratchy... maybe lube them?
This reminds me of my first KB, OLKB with mx browns. I was sooooo happy when it was finally built. Did not know about lubing and modding then, did not care. Just enjoyed the fruits of my labor. FF a few years to now: Waiting for the last package to arrive and ready to build a modded KBD65 with 67g Zealios.
I really enjoyed your video. Reminded me of that giddy feeling I got when I built that OLKB.
Build 40% keyboard : “I’m overheating”
Me build 60% : “F*ck”
It’s funny because when i watch taehatypes videos & livestreams, it’s look like easy as f*ck, but when i do it myself, oh f*ck it’s hard :’)
Saraaaaaaaaaaa! My earrrrrrrrrrsss! why music so loud???
