I Put a Mechanical Keyboard INSIDE My Laptop 

This is so GOOD! 👍🔥🔥

*drills a million holes for airflow* *puts the airlfow holes flat on the desk* ahh yes, engineering

you cooked bro.

Those air holes are begging for some rubber feet to help them do their job. :)

I love Japanese laptops that feel stuck in the 80's and this feels like a modern one.. and I flippin love it!

Your mother and I are so proud of you. See what you can accomplish when you stop smoking drugs?

Actual mechanical engineer here - I love how janky it is but how great it turned out to be in the end - looks great

I hope a Laptop company sees this and hires you, Framework maybe?

This vid is so good, the transitions, animations and 2010 quality webcam sections. aaaa you really deserve more subs.

10:10 Yoga: Pls let me die Marcin: I love you

We now live in an age where personal electronics are so affordable and accessible and small and uniformly identical that projects like this automatically become more interesting and desirable than more polished products.

its strangly comforting to have no music in the background. super underrated channel, you deserve at least 2.23k subs

RU-vid recommended this video to me. I watched it from beginning to end, and it is truly spectacular... The development of the video, the recordings, documenting everything like a good engineer, creating a retro design reminiscent of the 80s, using high-quality construction materials, good colors and excellent music. You really conveyed a lot of emotions to those of us who share the same passion for hardware. I am subscribing!!!! Greetings from Chile.

Being crazy enough to pull a trigger leaves a man unchanged. Unevolved. Middling. Forgettable. Being gangster enough to 100% that mission with AA-grade precision, finesse, and style however... leaves something beyond a man. You sir are hereby certified: Legendary Operator. Incredible work. Liked and subbed. 👏

great job! it takes a lot of patience and determination to work out and fix every one of those little (and big) problems you had assembling the laptop, the outcome looks superb and Chucky in a good way, keep up the great videos :)

Good video. Very funny. Bit high noise floor on mic, you can hear it whine. Otherwise very funny

I submitted this to Hackaday with the following comment, RIP your comments section: So some nerd (who am I kidding, I wish I was this good) kept breaking his laptop's keyboard (because design flaws) and finally gave up and did what we all wish we could - rebuilt the laptop to house a mechanical keyboard. I'm kinda in awe, and I hope you all are too.

The severe case of "I want to keep my laptop running, and I will do it at any cost" I am confident to say that I am also a patient of it

I got recommended this cause I like silly stuff like this and man, I was not expecting to laugh so hard in the first few minutes to the point where I had to pause, I think it was the silly transitions followed by a dark joke about getting hit with a scooter then some warping sound effect. I have definitely subscribed.

I love the editing style of this video. Definitely gonna check out more. The low quality camera footage bits cooked

A product to make any Apple engineer blush with jealousy.

"Now that's a Thinkpad" Right in my Thinkpad user butt.

I want to praise the great editing, brilliant off-camera comments and emotional post-record videos inserts

Imagine if Akira Nakai were to tune laptops instead of Porsche's, this has the same spirit and I love it

Dang. That reminds me of the MNT reform with the transparent bottom. Excellent job with the design, it has the right amount of jank, and to be able to see that jank through the bottom is just perfect. Adding bumpons on the bottom could be a final addition i suppose? You deserve my sub

I've been feeling kinda down on engineering lately, being forced to waste time on classes that wont add to anything, and each class I miss just makes the nextt one more pointless. But seeing stuff like this gives reminds me why I chose this area. Yesterday I soldered some broken keys from a non-hot swapable mechanical keyboard, switch by switch (12 in total), and it felt great

the idea of making your own laptop case is amazing, thanks for that. Definitely will do

this genuienly felt like a thng a ThinkPad modder would do. You honestly did a wonderful job; I've never ever seen anyone do something like this ever before, and the way you executed it along with the final product is just spectacular. I want one now 😭

Man this is super cool! And now im really tempted to do this myself with my old Dell XPS laptop its always having thermal issues so making a bigger custom case in CAD would allow for a much better heatsink/air flow and maybe an integrated custom keyboard like you did (Tho i would probly go for a NuPhy Air60V2 or Lofree flow board since I like their sound and build quality) I think your over all end product looks super sick in a kind of janky way and totally has that homemade DIY vibe going for it lol

finally someone on the internet did the idea in my head, impressive

Perfect mix of creative humour and actual tech channel chaos

Built, not bought! You are an artist my friend! Congrats. Will you put any rubber feet under the laptop so as to elevate it a little and it can actually get some air through the holes you drilled?

Most underrated channel I know. Hope you get the recognition you deserve.

I loved your work jeffery !!! keep it up

i love sound design on this one. mouse clicks when starting to record lines, almost inaudible buzzer when talking, no music. so authentic ~~

I was cleaning my house today and ran across some of my 10+ year old laptops, and boy are they chonkers, just a bit thinner than your great creation. VGA, HDMI, 4x usb 2.0, PCMIA, RJ11, RJ45, firewire, some weird proprietary port I never used, blu ray, 2 headphone out, 1 mic in, 1 audio line out, and also had a slot for a remote control. Absolute media beast. Hats off to you for your sweet chassis and giving new life to a dying laptop.

This is incredibly high quality for what I thought would be a shitpost project, love the acrylic

This is insanely awesome. Hats off to you for making this vid and idea May I suggest making some feet so the holes don't lay flat on a surface? And maybe if there is enough space inside, you might be able to add some super low profile fans in pull config so the heatsink also loses heat more efficiently. If I did it, I'd probably used a 2 mode wireless and wired low prof keyboard and use a design which allows for disconnection of the keyboard. So when I have to take it out, I'd just slide it out and used it on my phone wirelessly. Then, after its done, I'd just need to slide it back into the laptop and place on a piece with a locking system. oh btw i subbed :)

Between 2015-2019 or so, there were some very interesting attempts to make low-profile mechanical keyboards more mainstream among gaming laptops... BUT to my surprise recently I looked up laptops with mechanical keyboards in the current year, and there's literally no big name brand putting mechanical keyboards in their laptops...

Im not surprised you use linux, but Im straight up shocked you dont use Arch btw

Absolutely love this, subscribed and really hope to see more laptop mods!!!

what did I just watch. The editing is too good Bro. and the engineering looks super complicated. you got a good sense of humor. 👍

I knew you ran Linux as your OS before you even showed your screen. This was awesome, dude.

thats really fancy

For a second, I thought Jeffrey Dahmer was trying to sell me a laptop

It actually looks so sick!

I thought you got like 100k+ subs, you deserve more!

Keep cooking bro, this is fire 🔥

Bro be looking like Linus Torvalds when he was 15. Anyway great video bud!

your voice is so relaxing and the added sound effects made this fun to watch :)

I’m learning PCBWay will pretty much sponsor any crazy electronics idea on RU-vid. That said, as someone who hates laptop keyboards with a passion, I commend you.

bro is this jeffrey dahmer

Bro looks like jeffrey dahmer 😅

you are mad cooking your laptop

I’d been thoroughly enjoying your vibe throughout the beginning of this video but 2:20 just knocked it out of the park. One of the quickest video-to-new-subscriber turnarounds I’ve ever done!

0:11 I hear beeping. Fix your mic

the design is actually so cool, worth the time spent 🔥

Builds a Chad of a laptop. Runs Linux. Kings the whole thing. Someone said it already, you cooked. Also, your editing is F4acking Supreme!!!

holy crap. that actually looks really good in the end. am impressed.

Honestly not too bad! You can do so much more nowadays with companies like PCBWay.

highly underrated channel, nice work!

The creativity overall should be appreciated mate 🔥

really good editing man keep up the work , subbed 👍

Dude the direction and creativity in this video is far more impressive to me than the actual modification of that laptop.

Watched this at 3am, oh boy! But seriously, great work, this gives me so many ideas on what future projects ideas! Awesome job!

What a discover! Nice video man, wish you have a ton of follows from now on. Nice edit also

This is one of the best looking laptops i have seen in years. Thin laptops are cool but a thick laptop with cool things like a big battery or a mechanical keyboard are cooler. Also the clear bottom is like icing on the cake.

Amazing video. Very nicely presented too. One thing I'd suggest - the louder bits are REALLY loud compared to your voice. I think a bit of compression would make it easier to listen to. Felt jumpscared a few times in this video

I love the little whirring noises in the background of your voice whenever you speak.

Why did this only get recommended to me now?! And Why the hell does that look fire?!

I wish laptop engineers went for a design like this to improve the cooling, ports selections and other things, especially for high-end laptops, the only thing you need is a mesh panel to prevent dust from going into the fans and it'll be great.

It is still crazy to me that there is no laptop manufacturers that make laptops in this class sometimes. I get it is niche but there is definitely a group that craves it. Great job man loved the vid!

The way you edit your video is so satisfying. Keep it up Just subs here.

Was looking up laptop stands for my MacBook Pro at 3:30am, and youtube recommended THIS to me... And somehow I'm not disappointed in the SLIGHTEST! 😃 Even though I have no intention of doing this project, this was beyond entertaining! 😁

please dont change your video style, this is absurd I love it

Daaaaaamm, this might not be perfect, but having the skills to pull that off is impressive I love the transparent back btw, maybe with some tints could look even cooler new sub!

The lack of music for most of the video gave me a unique sense of serenity 😌

This is probably the best video I've seen this year

i cant believe you posted this two days ago and not 15 years ago

This is actually quite good, don't know why every brand keep trying to make the laptop slim in exchange of the performance

Can we get a full length video of all the documentaries you made? Engineers like me would be willing to watch completely through it. Great video anyway!

this video was a pure treat to watch

Big ups dood. Looks good! Making me want a Toshiba Satellite CDT430 era machine with a OLED screen and 4090 in it...

That keyboard's stabs need something soft in there (bandaids are popular) to reduce the rattle. I have some gauze from leftover medical supplies and stuffed the right amount in (too much will make the stab stiff) and it's way quieter. I'm not too picky about keyboard noise but it made a huge difference on my hand-me-down prebuilt's spacebar and backspace keys (and I make a _lot_ of mistakes, so those two keys are the critical ones). Might need some re-stuffing until the material settles if you're using something loose.

A cool project, it looks really good and should be nice to type on. I like a good, sturdy laptop, like my old Asus which is thick and has clicky keys. The problem with slim-line keyboards dying has been a plague upon the laptops at work, at least the ones that haven't had half the screen backlight die, the battery leak everywhere, or gotten run over. With one the "A" key even fell off and got lost, so the "`" key got put there instead. For the workplace especially more durable keyboards are really needed.

We gotta bring back THICC laptops

I don't know about anyone but the ports being at the front of the laptop is kind of cursed, but this is a great build and I'm blown away by the amount of effort this took and how much focus this dude has. SUBBED!

I've had this exact idea and I'm glad someone made it

You have successfully made a Thinkpad

Ahhh! the final product is so cool, awesome, simply divine.

this is amazing - but my brother in christ the whole point of a membrane/pad keyboard in a LAPTOP is because it differs from a desktop pc as a LAPTOP is portable and is often taken into places that require a quieter atmosphere and quieter modus operandi from the patrons - such as a library, study hall, mortuary, coffee shop, et al... you're going to literally take a LAPTOP, which is meant to be QUIET and soft-sounding, into spaces where it should be quiet and others are around you that specifically went to these places to have QUIET around them - and bang around on a loud clanky mechanical keyboard ?? lmao i want to wish you all the best and give you a medal for your work on this project but also wish at the same time that you step into water accidentally somehow in your socks regardless, peace to you. this was awesome. keep doin' your thing man!

This whole video looks professional!

Oh the things I'd do for a laptop with a keyboard like that and a trackpoint. Unspeakable things.

0:51 I'm in the same situation - my W and Q keys are dead on my laptop keyboard. I wish all laptops had mechanical keyboards, making repairs more affordable and convenient. Instead of replacing the entire keyboard at a high cost, we could easily swap out individual keys. Hopefully, this becomes standard in the future.

That project is really good for a resume

I must say the motherboard mod does a great job on the thocciness of the keyboard. great job.

3:27 this made me giggle heartfully, and the anvil is an amazing touch! Tickles that nostalgic childhood funny bone when I was young

The power button being a mechanical switch is awesome

I love how YT now is recommending me this wholesome channels with lots of potential
