This man is making the best keyboard content in 2023 - not a doubt in my mind.

@Charo.mp4 Год назад

My MAN thank you!!

@ksaweryglab Год назад

Subbed immediately after reading this comment and before I watched the vid. This and the fact that I love TGR keebs - have two TGR Janes and still on the lookout for more.

No, really, binged all videos to date for the knowledge Charo shares. The stories and the backstories of the hobby. And the style. Somehow I feel invited and confident enough to have ordered my first keyboard in years. Thaaaaanks

I’m deeply humored by all the interjections about raffles you lost, also just really enjoy the content / history you’re compiling / sharing for the community! I haven’t quite been willing to go TKL for size/space reasons, but would love to get my hands on a Unikorn! Currently waiting on a January keyboard and am continuing to mess around with different configs in my bakeneko in the meantime

The Jane V2 design is from Monokei Tomo, as Monokei interview said. But without a daughter board. Basically, the Tomo is a 75% layout Jane.

Yet another BANGER VID!!! Honestly, you're one of my fav content creators in the keyboard hobby atm, seriously a big inspiration to me! Would love to get a video about the Unikorn controversy. Also, I do believe TGR is cooking some new boards up based on what I've seen from KLC's updates 👀 P.S. totally with you on the raffle Ls 😭

@Charo.mp4 Год назад

Damn, honestly thank you!! Yeah big things coming for sure

@Missingnin69 Год назад

It'd be cool to know about whether you think TGR was influential in terms of construction that gave a unique sound profile that weren't present in non-tgr boards, and whether tgr's popularity comes down to its aesthetic and rarity or its sound signature. Defs love the lore history vids, but don't be afraid to editorialize more and share your opinions

To this day I still own my TGR 910 CE. Yuktsi is such a top dude, he offered 3 or 4 people who were just seconds too slow to get into the original 910 FCFS dibs on the CE. ontop of that my CE came in dented from shipping and he sent me a new bottom part.

@shft8423 Год назад

Nice video man. Definitely an insight into yuktsi's humble beginnings. While I haven't own a Tomo myself (yet), I've got the opportunity to build a friend's unit and I don't recall there are any magnets for Tomo, please correct me if I'm wrong. There's magnets on the MEs though. Also fun fact: Jane V3 is in the works, there's a CN commission going on now. Fingers crossed that the Jane V3 will be internationally released in the near future.

@Charo.mp4 Год назад

Thank you! And yes thank you for spotting - must have had magnets and the ME on my mind Fingers are definitely crossed for a Jane v3 western release soon

@xeroze01 Год назад

Nice to see coverage of TGR. While personally i am of the thought that it is slightly over hyped, the impact tgr has on the keyboard design and hobby is undeniable. Personally, i owned a tgr jane me v2. Owned because it still held my personal record of souring on the board in the first 30 minutes of building it, and selling it off within the first week at cost. The design and internal tolerances of the ME felt like a step down in term of quality, for better aesthetics, scalability. It also came off to me, a lack of attention to detail that most high end boards are supposed to have. It was my first high end board, and soured me so much on high end boards that the next (and last) high end board i got was because i was literally not in the right state of mind (hungover and deciding to spend a bunch of money i did not budget out on a whim). Thankfully that (cloudline) turned out really well for me, and the contrast in attention to design in terms of function, build process, replaceability, etc, all reminded me of why i soured as quickly on the tgr jane me.

@oImagine Год назад

Agreed, the Jane v2 ME hits nothing like the CE and original Jane units.

@udyrstruidor Год назад

Regarding aesthetics, to each their own, but what do you mean about step down on the internal tolerances?

@jgould30 11 месяцев назад

only slightly? LOL

@BetterHalf1 Год назад

it's a pretty sick keyboard and i was lucky enough to type on one in person. in the end of the day though, it's still just a keyboard, and i would much rather have multiple mid range keebs for the price of one

@udyrstruidor Год назад

A keyboard types like a keyboard. The value comes mostly from history and design elements. Some people care, some don't. But sure not worth to spend crazy aftermarket values.

@rcbuggies57 19 дней назад

I really just wish someone released simple wedge korean tkls without any fluff, kind of like the kbd8x mk2, but with compatibility for the jane v2/ce plates. Ideally, a plain anodized bottom case with a simple uncoated weight, two top cases in f13 or f12, a hineybush pcb, lots of plate options. I don't want my board to stick out, I just want simplicity.

As someone who is very new to the Keyboard scene, I have no reference point for a lot of the discussion around "endgames" from years past, and where new boards fit into the story of custom keebs more broadly. Please do continue, this is great content and especially welcoming for new folks like me. BTW- your whole style of making and presenting the videos is great, keep it going! And thank you!
