7V Zaku Linear switches - PC flex plate - tape mod Sound Test 

I appreciate your kind words, thank you!

I can’t type that fast with my two hands.

@@SeaTacky If it makes you feel better I can't type that fast with two hands either ;)

Why you looked at me when you were talking about someone who type slower than him with two hands??!!?

@@alesanto8922 haha

Nah, not at all. It's the only way I know how to type. If I'm gonna be honest, I consider myself fast at typing in general regardless of my hand, but I've worked hard to get to this point. I'm not gonna stop until I hit my acceptable range of 140-155wpm.

I hope you feel better! It's not as daunting if you have muscle memory from two-handed typing, just try to think of your keyboard as a piano or guitar, if you apply the same stretching principles to typing, you'll be amazed at how close you can get. Touch-typing will be harder though. Good luck, you got this

They’re really rare on RU-vid. I feel like I’ve only seen one other zaku build with the 7V and it’s plateless.

7V is one of the best out there. Thank you!

Thank you, that’s very kind! It’s just a lot of practice!

Plateless hits different though

@@zandkeyboards for sure I just meant out of the plates, fr4, cf, pc, alu I like the flex pc the most I think.

Thank you!

Haha thank you!

Thank you man! Luckily you don’t have to, trust me I’d rather be able to touch type with 100% accuracy instead of one handed muscle memory. It works but it’s not ideal yknow?

@@zandkeyboards yeah, i can't say i know that feeling cause that would be a lie, so i hope one day, not too far from now, your youtube career will succeed my man.

@@Agent_Alpha thank you for your kind words. I’ll have a long way to go

@@zandkeyboards yeah, i'm also kinda into the custom keyboard scene, and youtube content but my budget is still very low since i'm still in Uni so i also have a long way to go too. Keep it up my brother 👋

Thank you so much, I have an updated sound test with better audio up!

Thank you! The 7V is my favorite keyboard, for sure.

All I know.

Appreciate it!

Appreciate it, thank you!

Thank you, there's an updated sound test on my channel with Polycaps Corn Keycaps. I think those keycaps really pair nicely with how the board sounds.

Thanks, I love the sound signature of this board.

Thank you, I unfortunately no longer have gmk plum :(

Thank you! Only one layer of blue painter's tape was applied.

Actually my friend gave him his zakus for this build and he helps me if I get tired, but I use a stem holder and my left arm is fine so patience is key. I also like to lube top housing for that extra clack on upstroke.

Look into the matrix 2.2add

@@zandkeyboards Yeah probably the closest thing to get. Unfortunately I can’t justify $1000 aftermarket prices right now. I snagged a ME, so eventually someone will trade with me, when the time is right. Although the ss weight is an absolutely killer feature of the 7V.

@@Definitely_Melnyx ME will be insane.

You’ll get up there in no time. Thank you!

Keep practicing. I grind this every day.

I mean double my speed... ooops

@@randomperson2187 you'll get there bro. just price, I grind Monkeytype.

Thank you! I average about 110-115 wpm usually.

@@zandkeyboards HOLY CRAP! That is super impressive.

@@splenced7091 thank you!

Thanks lol

Samson Meteor usb mic and a Logitech C920 webcam, pretty scuffed lol.

This is the 7V by Gok. It was a board only obtainable from a groupbuy (kind of like a kickstarter) and it isn't available anymore. It was 400$ retail, I believe. I got mine from extras this past March for about $500. Thank you for your comment!

It’s a 7V by Gok. You can find the Groupbuy on Novelkeys.xyz but it’s over. They sometimes get extras in.

GMK Plum!
