I watched switch and clicks video on this first and im like "man glarses looks absolutely DONE with this" I have context now, all is right with the world
Watching the keyboard blast apart at the end of the video against the wall was arguably the most satisfying payoff because the 4 minutes prior you were suffering alongside with Glarses.
@@musclegeek1991 It really is sus though... NO ONE DISAGREES WITH YOU!! how could you say something not even controversial on RU-vid? how is that even possible? that never happens!!! usually there are arguments in the comments section about everything. the moon's made of cheese, the world if flat, we are the center of the universe, Lady Gaga's music doesn't suck, I mean come on ma. what is with the completely non controversial comment!!!
I was legit concerned about you watching the other videos, I'm happy to hear your okay. Glad to finally see what happened to you and why you were so down, that's fucking rough!
I didn’t even realize you already had 500k subs! I remember finding your channel at 15-20k and loving your videos despite having next to no keyboard knowledge. Glad to see you popping off!
Your editing skills and humor is absolutely out of this world I learn so much from your videos but at the same time I'm getting a good laugh out of it 😂
Have been using the MW65 since July. As much as I loved the value proposition of this board, it really had some QC issues. For example, the top right portion of the plate didn't have enough cutout to place the knob. Then the bottom Acrylic didn't have two screw holes. Plus the VIA was bugged. Plus building it was a bit of a pain in the a s s. But AFAIK, u can also use a KBD67 lite case instead of the acrylic one. I got a hold of the B stock case for less than 30 USD with shipping which itself is cheaper than the stock case. The seller some months back told me that he is gonna release a FR4 plate version of this board. The best part of this kit is that it produces a great clack which I like a lot TBH.
This guy is so funny I started hitting the like button on his vids which I rarely do and even writing a comment which I do like 2 times a year :D Appreciate the effort you put in your vids Glarses!!
I'm so sorry you had to go through this, but I'm so glad to find out why you looked so distraught in the group video when I saw it on the other youtuber's channels. You deserved better than this
Glarses - thank you! I'm old enough to have been typing on the original IBM Model M, when they were new out the wrapper. I've decided that I want to go back to that feel after years of cheap corporate membranes. I thought, "Well, let's just go and get a 'proper' keyboard!". Turns out I am well behind the drag curve here and have much to learn. So I started with a few youtube searches and found myself in the middle of some kind of troll battle between different switch evangelists. Takes me back to the Emacs and Vi wars. Heady days, wiping blood off the corner of your keyboard and picking eyeballs out of your sandles. I was briefly a front line soldier in the Linux v Windows crusades, a phirric victory for we penguins untimately. However, I now know what I want and I am smart enough to know that I'm not going to broadcast my choice (ISO, full size, Cherry MX Blue, no RGB) and risk the ire of the trolls. You have taught me that the choices are personal and nothing is right (except Browns are appropriately coloured). Peace and goodwill, I've subscribed!
at 0:51 I felt like i was about to be chokeslammed for my love of loud and annoying clicky switches by Glarses, who somehow turned into a resident evil boss
Man I really don't want to make light of your pain, but this video made my day. edit: Just wanted to say that I've come to expect the best from any video that has you taping yourself into a chair.
I think you could have desoldered the hot swap sockets and then put one switch in (still with the plate) and solder ist directly in. Then you would take another switch and do the exact same thing again and then again and so on until every switch is in. By that, the switches were secured on the pcb, the plate would be still there to mount everything into the case and it would be allright, since the switches can't go through the plate downwards, so the pcb and the switches would actually be hanging at the plate, like normal. And i'm sure you would have won, if your keyboard had been fully built.
Why am I laughing so hard at your pain... it all makes sense now. I was wondering why you had a pin in you (gl)arse in squashys vid lmao. Fantastic content as always.
bruv, i'd watch these videos for a giggle. subbed cause you're genuinely funny to me. cheers for that. and now? now i've got holy pandas and hot swap PCBs laying round and i'm ignoring other hobbies! so... thanks!
Switch and Clicks video was the first time I saw you and I thought, "Wow he seems unpleasant." Glad the RU-vid algorithm suggested some of your videos to me and I gave you a chance because I thought, "Why are they friends with him? Oof." But you make really good content, sorry you had such a horrible time and I apologize for judging you based on my first impression.
Akko CS switches, at least the Matcha Greens in my experience feel a hair bigger than other switches, so they usually fit the plate tightly. Just thought I'd leave this here because it might be useful to someone dealing with plates of questionable precision. Don't know if that would have helped with Glarses' 'handling the flexible plate vertically over an ironing board' choice of technique for this build. 😅
@@clarencelsz l didn't mean to imply anything like that. I think Lewis' video of this series would be more informative. He's also using the same kit, but his technique is different, as in a different order of building. It seems the PCB might also have minor concerns.
1:58 in the transition frames (spent way too much time rewinding to see them) is “your use of thock is egregious get better vocabulary” well-played, @Glarses, well-played!
