If you are wondering, Gambol’s switches are gateron black ink v2 top and bottom housings, nk cream stems, and mStone 3-stage 55 gram spring. This costs about 1.99 per switch.
Gambol is like the super op anime character that surrendered and left the martial arts tournament at the semi finals because he was bored and saw what the main character could do already
I was honestly rooting for either gambol or rizzo. Idc what ppl say about him not wanting to win, his humility and consideration for others really deserved some respect. Rizzo winning made up for my sadness from gambol not passing. GGs!
Ngl rizzo and gambol peak their keyboard at that point is juts prefrence but I do have to say rizzo I'm pretty sure his keyboard is ceramic key right if so I heard a crispier ceramic keyboard so yea

Rizzo's keyboard is one I really really want. If I had a dream keyboard, it'd be like theirs! (thought w/ characters on the keys since I can't type w/o them). Gambol really did surprise me, and they did a really great job. I was expecting a 1v1 from them but all's good n fair. Might be one of my faves so far, thanks for hosting the competition Betty!
I love Gambol's custom keeb, it was probably the best sound I've heard Congratulations on the winner🎉 And btw, if you want to repeat Gambol's sound test, here's the timestamp 10:35
I wish I could have entered but I Don't have a fancy or custom keyboard so yeah... But the contestants who entered in this, thier keyboards were mindblowing (at least for me).
If you do this again, I think you should put out a predetermined type test/sentence or paragraph for the competitors to type. This way, everyone is hitting the same keys and it can be a closer apples to apples comparison. Maybe also spam a few keys at first, spam each modifier key. I'm just saying, some may have those one or two bad switches that just sound HORRIBLE, while the rest sound amazing. it's kind of like when someone is selling a used car. The seller may know all the bad stuff about the vehicle, but they may also know what not to do to make those bad things stick out like a sore thumb to the buyer. I know there will be other variables that are out of your control, like mic quality, but it'd be best if you were to try and control as much of the sound tests as possible. IDK, just throwing some ideas out there, if you were planning on doing this again that is.
5:58 so sad the split keyboard (sofle) has been lost at the first round with a very low rate.... I thought people into mechanic keyboards would be (a little) geeky/ nerdy but they are so mainstream.

Rizzo has my vote because of the fact that when you click the key the key lights up so it’s not like every other one where it always lights up and the sound was nice too ngl
I almost feel like the person who lost the hardest should have won the money because they're the ones that actually need it for a better keyboard. Looking at that superman colored cookie monster mat setup.....
I would have gone for gambol. I like that sound better. That's why I also got the MT3 keycaps from drop. It is truly amazing especially with the holy pandas on a glorious TKL. Simply love this combination.
My absolute favorite keyboard is not one that would be popular here with the diehard keyboard enthusiasts. The Logitech ERGO K860 Split is perfect for me. Quiet and soft key strokes, wireless blu-tooth enabled and the split ergo with the raised wrist bar for added support. Now, the only thing they missed out on, on this keyboard was illuminated keys. but overall this is my ideal keyboard vs. the keyboards shown on this video.
They’re not SA. They’re MT3. a profile made by designer MiTo who designed MT3 to be a more comfortable, but still taller profile. It’s more doable than SA, many people say.
I've always wondered this but what if there was a contest on the best laptop keyboards? I know modifying laptop keys isn't a popular thing but I think it would be interesting to see
Probably is a bad idea though because if you change where the keys sit even a fraction of an inch you would never be able to close it again without cracking the screen. So it’s only something to do with a throw away laptop you use as a desktop or something.
Mix Rizzo's looks with Gambol's sound and you'd have an insane keyboard. Only thing I didn't like about Gambol's was that it is full size. I'm a 75%/TKL man. A close third for me was Katsuu's, love the look and sound.
I’m very new to this and I’m looking to build my first custom keyboard, I am a sci-fi style guy, so I REALLY want somthing with the astetic of rizzos, but I also really want the sound of gambols. I’m looking to hopefully stay under 600 all in. I’m also not Opposed to learning, and lubing everything myself. I really don’t even know where to begin.
Some of these 'typing tests' consisted of people caressing those keys as gently as possible 🤣 Great builds, great fun, but some mofos be hiding some rattles 😁
I think not everyone voted Randy because it was an ergonomic and they didn't like that. Randy's objectively sounded better than Pingu's since it had a bit of thock and didn't click too much. (In my opinion)
Rizzo"s keyboard is just perfect i mean the key caps are a bit hard to know wich one is wich but the sound of Rizzo"s keyboard and rgb is perfect i kinda wanna get the sane keyboard as him
Since some people have bad mics, and different surroundings, there's no way to tell how which one trully sounds. So we can only assume based on the specs of the keyboards.
As cool as Rizzo was... I feel like the luster of the keyboard would wear off after a day or two. Sure it is a really pretty keyboard, its like a showroom car. it has no utility in the real world. It has no letters which make it harder for many people to type with and you would have to clean it daily for it to even look good as I imagine that it would get very dirty very quickly.
I liked the way rizzos keyboard sounded except for they space bar. There was such a sharp contrast in the sounds that it broke me out of the asmr that was his typing test. I liked Wongs sound too, but not as much, but I would have voted for Wong over rizzo because it was a more uniform sound when typing and using the spacebar.
