Ah the memories. The old, old memories when Squashy used this keyboard. It will finally be made better in 11 hours.

damn the reason i started using adblock was to avoid grammarly and i still can't get away lmao.

counter argument: the blackwidow has RGB and everybody knows RGB boosts your K/D Ratio

Well, in their defense, you said "No Brand", if you said "Custom Keyboard" the story would be different ;)

I can’t wait for Squashy to throw away everything except for the pcb. Then throw away the pcb because he wants gamer hotswap.

He is the type of guy who would turn his desk into a keyboard

I actually upgraded my hunstman V2 with GMK keycaps and lubed the stock switches and stabilizers. It feels pretty damn decent, works with the rest of my razer ecosystem, and has dedicated media keys- that's hard to find on higher end custom board kits. it's the best keyboard for me- a gamer, that really only types youtube comments.

I just found out about custom keyboards form Glarses and its opened my eyes and through his videos i came here. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. Thanks guys o.o. I'm currently using a Razor huntsman elite but after typing on everything i just liked the feel of the cherry mx browns. I've been enlightened though. Don't hate me! I didn't know any better! But now i'm interested in either modding it or making my own... hmmm...

"I don't know what the hell I did here but hey it works" -Me everytime I code at 5 am and then wake up and somehow it works

Idk why but people are hating on your keyboards and your builds are so good. I feel like they don't know anything aboit keyboards

Thank you so much bro, I have an OG Razer Blackwidow Ultimate from 2012 with the blue LEDs and blue Cherry MX switches. Very much looking forward to using it as my entry into modding and soldering. I greatly appreciate you showing the process in such detail

Ah, I can still remember the days when I thought razers were the best and also the most expensive. How those days have changed and my views as well 😂

When I first built my pc I literally only bought razer products

“Get a better keyboard like a razer keyboard” - random guy on Twitter Born 2010 Dead 2021 reason: unclutteredness

its like “should i get mcdonalds or should i get moms cool cooking” but moms cooking is actually better

Gaming keyboards would be good if they just had hotswap.

back when i though razer keyboards were endgame.

Man, it’s almost unholy hearing such a beautiful sound come from a Razer kb

tbh, Blackwidow Chroma's chasis is one of the best I've ever used. You don't easily find custom chassis with macro keys and some additional ergonomic features.

“I’m the AOT guy” lmao You don’t need new friends 😉

The grammarly ad is gonna be so good my ridge wallet finna summon a thunder on me

I really love your content brodie, I love all the meme content. You inspire me to make non-traditional keyboard videos.

I remember when I first got my PC and I decided to spend a lot of money on a Razer Deathstalker and then a few years later I spent half the price on an Anne Pro 2 and that made me realise that just because you spend more money, it doesn't mean its going to be better.

The most impressive thing for me is that Squashy has real friends.

" we're going to be changing the switches and key caps in this video ; so you can just throw the rest away " *throws at extremely small rubbish bin*

I think people just like noisy, clicky switches because they are just sick of membrane keyboards on their macbook lol *>,

I can't believe that old Razer keyboard was still working .. well sort of working. In over 25 years of typing on PCs, the worst keyboards I've ever had in terms of longevity were also the most expensive ones. I've used MS's Internet Keyboard for years and years (the one with all the extra buttons up top) and other than having to pull all the keycaps every year or so to put them into the dishwasher, I never had a problem with that one. It just worked and kept working for years and years. It still works today. I had used OG Cherry keyboards back in the 90s already and always loved the feel and sound of mechanical switches (clicky ones, yes). So I went for a Corsair K90 Vengeance a few years ago when I built my Haswell system. Loved the look and feel of that thing, but it did develop massive ghosting issues a few months after the warranty expired. Switched to a cheap MS Sidewinder X4 which also simply worked and still works, but I wanted to get back into mechanicals. Tried a HyperX Alloy Elite (non RGB) with MX Browns at the store and instantly loved those switches. Bought it at a decent price, then let it sit for two years in a drawer, unopened and unused. When I took it out this March to finally use it with my new 12th-gen-build, it pretty much instantly had issues with ghosting/double/triple/whatever keystrokes on certain keys. No more warranty, so I tried to work around it using all sorts of SW-fixes in Windows, but it never really let me type a text without a ton of unwanted keystrokes. I started looking around for decently priced, mechanical, alternatives that would fit with my build and since I'm already using a Razer Viper 8K and found a V3 Black Widow (wired) for around €85, I went with that one. So far, it's been great ... layout is good (keys aren't too tightly spaced), feel of the Razer Greens is very nice and clicky and, so far, it's been ghosting-free. The larger keys do sound a bit weird and clunky and I certainly wouldn't recommend it at MSRP (140, 150? yikes!), but for under €/$90 it's a pretty good deal. Still: I have most of my "replacement" keyboards I needed whenever a mechanical one died on me sitting around here, starting with that MS Internet keyboard from the late 90s/early 2000s, the Sidewinder X4 and a Turtle Beach Impact 100. All of which were dirt-cheap to pretty cheap and are non-mechanical... and all of which still work to this very day, while the "premium" stuff from Corsair and HyperX simply croaked after way too short service lives.

I just really liked how black widows looked, I will say I wish it was hot swappable and with the leds inside the pcb

YOOO as a blackwidow haver from before i discovered your channel IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS

Congratulations on 300k subs squashy!!

As a poor hooman with a board using outemu blues, those sounds are something I can only dream off

i love waking up and seeing squashy boy uploading a video

Bro I Got Goosebumps When You Spam That Modded Space Bar.

I would love to meet this lady in the depths of the subway as well. Crazy the quality that you pay for with Razer when you can build something tremendously more custom and higher quality for 30% less money. So nice.

Liked just because of the grammarly sponsor ad. Greatly done, hilarious!

This is the only channel where I'll watch through the sponsors all the way :) Thanks for always making the sponsors fun!

This is the only sponsor i wouldn't skip its realy well done

My whole class agrees that a apple wireless membrane kb is better than my Custom kb. The irony is that they didn't even touch my keeb

2:07 : "helps correct your grandma" me : Ok, sounds cool.

The only person whose sponsor i will not skip.

picked one up at a local goodwill for 5 dollars, hopefully ill be able to replicate whatever this madman will do

Honestly, up until the last few months or so, I always preferred the sound of clicky, rattly keyboards. Mostly because I've been using one for like 10 years, and it was always such a breath of fresh air after being stuck with membrane keyboards for my whole life up until that point. But I'm really hooked on this modern take on keyboards - cleaning up the sound as much as possible and making the sound of your keyboard more refined. I kinda want to try lubing up my Corsair keyboard.

Congrats for 300k

I have genuinely been waiting for so long to see if someone would actually be crazy enough to do this, and you just did it. I don’t know whether to congratulate you or be scared of you lol

razor is that one dream brand every beginner pc gamer wants.

that ad was amazing, couldn't ask for a better one tbh

man your vids just have this funny vibe that I can't really understand why it's funny lol XD

Thanks for making my day once again with your quality content squashy HAHAHA

Loved the Yakuza Kiwami combat music 😂

Man I love your content. Your accent mixed with your slightly comedic personality makes for the best content

Congrats on 300k

"And 2, I need more friends" THIS ONE HAD ME DEAD AT 2 AM LMAO

this man saved us countless of hours on assignments, upgraded a razer keyboard, did an asmr that i can sleep to, AND ABSOLUTELY SQUASHED THOSE GODAMN NORMIES WHO THINK RAZER IS BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE

Knowing what a GOOD keyboard actually is, is like a talent

I actually did something similar with my Corsair k95. I lubed all of the switches (reds) with krytox 205g0 as well as with the stabilizers. I also did the holee mod as well. Took forever because of all the keys and macros, but much netter.

It just feels so wrong hearing a razer keyboard sound so good

2:49 this is incredibly relatable and I died laughing.

Was kind of thinking of just buying an HP GF100 and changing out the switches + lubing. And this video has just proved that that can make it SO much thockier

the best ad for grammarly i've ever seen ngl u made me watch it lol

ayyy ive been so exited for this

Squashy please make some more DIY case videos your first one was lit

I've been using razor huntsman 65% read linear switches and turns out pretty good as well, I really want to learn more from you!! Is quite satisfying!!

when i heard the keyboard sound after modding i subed with notices on. Personally I hate this model from razer and I was quite surprised by the final result. Gg my guy, keep doing content like that it's fire 💪💪

>washing with a hose "Don't actually do this" I mean, if Linus can run keyboards through a dishwasher, I think a hose is probably fine.

ive been using an rk71 for about (with mx red switches) and i havnt had any problems with it, it may be a budget keyboard but it definatly punches about its weight class

Ironically a month ago when this first came out and I decided to just watch it for fun I had no idea what he was saying or what the difference between the two keyboards were, but after about a month of going down the custom keyboard spiral omg the modded keyboard sounds so much better lol

this sounds so much better now

Bro homie really couldnt do anything after you took off his hat so he accepted his fate and roasted himself up XD

Squashy: Grammarly isn't an actual person Me: I hope so......

I did the same thing to fix the spacebar on my Blackwidow that was second hand as well. Genius.

that turned out so good im kinda shocked

At this moment we realized how high our hierarchy for NOT enjoying Clicky switches...

Sheeeesh you know the keeb is old when you see that font type on the keycaps

love your videos! can you do more "upgrade" videos of more common keyboards? like g915, and other brands too!

I love you just saying hi in the beggining of your videos

Me watching this video not having any knowledge about keyboards: funny words magic man

Is it really a Razer keyboard without the razer switches?

Istg the ending of the video gets me everytime 😂

congrats on 300k subscribers

Credit where it's due - Razer's stabs are actually pretty good.

when the switches are worth than the whole keyboard combined

I am addicted to these videos! I love being able to binge a good content creators work. You're an expert on keyboards! I was wanting some advice. What is my best possible option for both switch sound and actuation force/distance. I am trying to get better at the rhythm game "A Dance of Fire and Ice" and I would like the optimal keyboard for inputting precise inputs in the range of 40 keys per second. Looking forward to the continued binging of your content!

I really like your contents man. Plz upload more I'm looking forward to your vids :)

7:00 sheeeeeesh🥰

the last clip is why razer isnt changing to be good, everyone just likes the pro gamer rgb lights branded wake up the whole neighbourhood rattlefest razer keyboards are

"How you make it sound so good?" LMAO i ask myself that after every Squashy Boy video I watch.

*Looking at old Blackwidow in my closet for years* "Hehehehehehe'

1:03 This explains alot about today's society.

2:37 "a little to inspired by someone" 😂😂

Really good sponsor ad I actually watched it

The Razer greens were so worn out that they turned into oranges xD

6:17 thats a creepy smile above ya keyboard man.

that might have been the best sponsor placement till date

i actually did this and am now typing on a razer blackwidow 2014 with box whites, tape modded pcb and many more small mods

4:11 i cant find the backgroung music does anyone know the name of it?

5:20 this is actually a great way to fix your keyboard if one of the keys didnt work. saved myself from buying a new keyboard

I swear squashy makes ads so much interesting

You always have that thing, in all of your videos, that makes keyboards sound better than average

7:10 HAD ME FUCKING DYING, bruh i legit laughed out loud during reading time in class
