if your interested in the keyboard build, make sure to use my affiliate link in the description, all the parts used will be listed!!

@surya7cc Год назад

small suggestion- ik its weird looking directly at the camera but its kinda odd seeing you look some where else and doing the voiceovers

@SCvaul Год назад

Love this video lol, sorta giving me the confidence to go out and order the parts myself now cause yeah feeling overwhelmed is an understatement while trying to find yourself a custom keyboard

@OkamiRose Год назад

Very happy to see this, idk why it felt chill just like how it felt like when I did my first build. Props

@matt_obrien Год назад

glad your happy to see the vid!!!

@capybarasaretherealtopgs Год назад

Nice vid bro. Always love watching ‘em. Keep grinding 🙏🙏

@matt_obrien Год назад

Thank you I will!!

@zygort Год назад

I would suggest adding some foam in between the pcb and case and to add o-rings to the stabilisers as well as a weight in the bottom with some foam, I would also suggest tape modding it (wrapping the pcb in electrical tape)

@octagone. Год назад

Really nice, next step would be lubing the switches and stabilisers, will really make them sound better. I have never made a custom keyboard myself tho, cant afford it.

@janvinsonlopez2111 Год назад

I'm currenty at the learning process right now. And mod 008 is also one of my choice. Good video!! I just related my self to you. Haha 👏

@matt_obrien Год назад

Very cool!

@PenguinManiack Год назад

please use the packing foam mod. i have a 20$ red switch keyboard that I got of amazon and once I added pe foam everything changed.

@matt_obrien Год назад

ill look into that! thank you for the advice :))

@adeebsalim9049 Год назад

i would make a suggestion for u putting badaid underneath the stabs that makes the stabs alot more stable and makes it sound a whole lot better

@Pandaproductions516 8 месяцев назад

down load via / qmk to customize the inputs on your keyboard also ho lee mod the stabilizers to get rid of the "ticking" noise when you hit the space bar enter key and shift keys

@lanceliao603 Год назад

Hey, can I ask what screw bits you used for the PCB and plate assembly? I bought mine too recently and have been unable to find the proper screw driver :(

@ElementBouncer Год назад

What is that website you were on at 1:19 that shows each switch and rates it for gaming, typing, universal?

@F13Pty Год назад

kinda sad that you got sent out the v1 of the mod 008 due to it having south-facing sockets (causes interference with cherry profile keycaps) luckily you got asa profile keycaps. Great vid!

@matt_obrien Год назад

thank you! ya it ended up working out thankfully!!

@mfkain Год назад

bro no wayyy. i been watching you for the gym content but you also LIKE keyboards and stuff. Thats awesome

@matt_obrien Год назад

I appreciate that!

@Marquice_Fry Год назад

as a small suggestion: you should look into programming your right side keys to do things like copy and paste, or even set it to enter your windows password with macros

@matt_obrien Год назад

Thank you for the tip! I definitely will look into it!!

@JPCs559 Год назад

lube and level out the stabilisers, just a little tip to help with the spacebar

@matt_obrien Год назад

I will look into that for the spacebar thank you!

@JPCs559 Год назад

@@matt_obrien also you can put playdoh into the spacebar for a little bit more thock if that is a little bit difficult.

@dumpy0872 5 месяцев назад

put some kind of tape in the space barr to make it more thocc

@electroboy-sf4wp Год назад

I can recommend one mod to help the keyboard sound better if you have some painters or masking tape wrap the pcbs back side in tape its called the tape mod on RU-vid it makes the keyboard sound thocky just use the right tape to not burn the keeb but other than that it makes it sound so goood

@matt_obrien Год назад

I already did that mod actually!! Your right it is a pretty sweet!

@arcticvoid518 Год назад

You're severely underrated-- The editing on your videos 👌

@sergiodomingo5304 Год назад

could you provide the link you followed to assemble the whole thing together?

@matt_obrien Год назад

of course! just added everything I used and is now linked in the description!!

@danx5005 11 месяцев назад

lube stabilizers and get durock v2 stabs

@mr.ar3ens863 Год назад

A suggestion:you should put some spacebar foam on the spacebar to make it sound better.Keep it up

@Daki-dz6gl Год назад

I swear finding the parts are so overwhelming

@matt_obrien Год назад

right it was so confusing to start off 😅

@producerIczar Год назад

You really need to also look at Gamakay that have really good keyboards and rgb they also have now a really good switch it is called phoenixes. And al there stuff is not very expensive. So if you also want to begin keyboard building you can start there really good and quick

@wonderment. Год назад

All gamakay products are heavily overpriced

@quiet_owo Год назад

you should try it with the polycarbonate plate... much better feel

@TheMinistryOfMagic9_43 Год назад

What about bannana split switches

They really are the best!!

@steveharrington8281 Год назад

at 5:10 why did you plug it in your monitor?

@matt_obrien Год назад

was the available usb port I had lol

@tijndelouw925 Год назад

Your so underrated

@matt_obrien Год назад

thank you! couldnt agree more :)))

@TheClutchCraft Год назад

Did you not use a stabiliser for your space bar?!?

@matt_obrien Год назад

I think so 😅

@TheClutchCraft Год назад

That would probably explain the wobbly space bar, I would add one in if you didn’t alr :)

@mikes978 Год назад

@@TheClutchCraft he has the spacebar stabilizer. you can see it at 4:18. My guess is the stabilizer is bone dry. Make sure to lube the stabilizer with some dielectric grease so that it doesn't rattle.

@lilchungy3298 Год назад

when you are talking to the camera you should look straight at the camera. It is kind of odd when you don't look at the camera.

@matt_obrien Год назад

I didn’t even consider that but you got a point, I’ll see ways I can do voice overs while keeping eye contact with the camera!

@matt_obrien Год назад

Thank you for the constructive criticism!

@mikes978 Год назад

@@matt_obrien you can invest in a teleprompter, set up another screen (phone, tablet, laptop) below or above your camera to use as a teleprompter, or another method would be to memorize a few lines at a time and read off to the camera, then go back and edit out all the pauses in-between. these are all common practices that a lot of professionals and content creators use.
