Thank you squash for removing the sponsorship. It saddens me that it took away time and effort I know you put into your sponsorships, let alone your videos. This is just one of many examples that you care about your subscribers, and it makes me glad to be one. Keep up the good work, and good luck! Loved the comparison here as well, and like always, the video's a banger!

A great point about a store is also to get acquainted with the feel. One terrible thing about building your keyboard online is that, unless you spend buying different switches to try them out, you don't know how it'll turn out.

@din3832 Год назад

so true, i bought a tons of switches and they will now collect dust, also bought way too many keyboards until i find the one that pleases me more.

@IceAger Год назад

It's awesome that a shop like that has popped up because it makes Custom Boards more accessible than ever, not having to wait for shipping times or anything makes people more inclined to try something out. If stores like this can pop up all around the world someday I would be very happy.

@th3doorMatt Год назад

These are like REALLY expensive Build-A-Bear Workshops, except...keyboards lol But it's really nice. Not only do you have a selection you can experience first-hand (one of the most costly things about this hobby is having to wade through all the noise to find what you like) BUT you can also ask questions to someone who is knowledgeable (you hope) on the subject and can guide you accordingly. The trick is scalability. Not everyone will want to get into customs, but I think if shops like this can provide solid entry-level boards to first time buyers, then it's serving a greater purpose. I would be curious to see what the churn rate is of those customers though. Are they enticed enough to go down the rabbit hole? Are they content with their one and only purchase until it breaks? Do they have a mild degree of regret?

@ViMBarN Год назад

you give yourself away when you instinctively test the stabs on the spacebar when you first touch a keyboard brah

@maxmouse3 Год назад

Very cool! I'm so happy this exists! And I like all the boards, although I personally dig the TKL more hahaha great video

@pignu6640 Год назад

Mash is a great store! I've been there and their customer service was actually pretty amazing! But if you live around Malaysia or Singapore, I'd also recommend going to Mecha if you're going for a much higher end build since they have much more keyboards on display. Sick video tho Squashy!

@iotaku Год назад

i mean...is it really a custom keyboard if its bought?? Wait.... actually the fact that you could build a keyboard instore is sick.

@caramelcwossont Год назад

well you are making it so i guess

@Jobieable Год назад

well ive build a ''high end'' keyboard but the hobby is nothing more than building a kit, switches, stabs and keycaps. If you go in deeper you might lube your switches and stabalizers. For me the meaning of a custom keyboard is hand selecting your components, i don't see it as a bad thing being able to insta-buy the components you need in store and having the ability to try out different combinations before commiting to it.

@PewPew_McPewster Год назад

I think the biggest pro with these shops is you can try a whole buncha different switches and caps in a real life brick-and-mortar BEFORE even comitting a penny to whatever actuation force or keycap profile you desire. That plus the customer service is worth whatever markup they ask of you.

@rrinnlonginus Год назад

My first impression on such shops is that I never thought they were a scam. I know that they were enthusiasts at heart, at least mostly, cuz I went to one and I've done the research, I believe as much as you, by myself. Some online stores also do this sort of thing, and they are equivalent in terms of honesty. Seriously, is it not an enthusiast if they personally handwrite the instructions what to do and not to do to the customer? This thing is still new, but the trend started very well

@professorred3669 Год назад

I am literally about to go to Singapore and this is one of my main areas I wanted to go to pft. IMO I still might prefer it because I get to have guidance and also test out other switches and also not have to wait for parts( I’m a beginner :>)

@infinacity Год назад

Squashy's 200 dollar build tho. I made the exact under 200 build but with Mod007, milky yellow pros and some akko keycaps. Pretty decent.

@s0n999 Год назад

@samgao Год назад

yeah... I don't see that store lasting much longer, unless they have a deal with keychron that can get them at least reasonable margins to survive.... Like PC margins at 2-5% isn't really feasible unless you're at mass scale.... And even then, everything has to be tip top shape... Hopefully keychron gets them something like 30-50% margins.

@stickybuds05 Год назад

I actually wished my first experience with custom keyboards was at a shop. I built my first keyboard totally blind save for hours of youtube videos and sound tests. All I had tried until then was MX blues. I went in headfirst and de-soldered a cheap board and put red pandas in it. Turned out great, but could have been a lot better even with the knowledge and experience I have now

@thanhanle3879 Год назад

you forgot the most important thing: the Q1 has a south facing pcb while Akko did not and having keycap interference is the worst thing you can do at this price point

@aloysiuswong9146 Год назад

That's only applies to cherry profile keycaps.. also there are many switches that are not affected by it... Or you could mod it.

@thanhanle3879 Год назад

@@aloysiuswong9146 like why tho. Having south facing pcb means less worries about whether your switches/keycaps will interfere with each other. Also it's the end of 2022, many manufacturers already switched their kb from north-south facing pcbs without any increasing in prices. So why did you have to spend like 150$ for a north facing board like Akko Mod ?

@aloysiuswong9146 Год назад

$150 for the CNC aluminum body is pretty reasonable. As for why north facing, you just have to ask the designer instead.😅

@thanhanle3879 Год назад

@@aloysiuswong9146 fyi, Monsgeek(Akko's Subbrand) has just released the M1 version which basically a renamed of akko's mod 007 and it has south-facing pcb. all of it costs 79$.79$ for a alu kb is pretty nice tho 🤡

@EpixMania Год назад

If you have a north facing keyboard with cherry keycaps, you can do the paper mod. You add paper into the keycaps and it doesn’t have any interference. Hope it helps
