The Evolution of the Keyboard Hobby 

It was really cool to learn about the history of the hobby as someone who has only been in this rabbit hole for a year or two. Great video man!

Just got into the custom keyboard hobby halfway into 2021 and already deep into it. This was a very interesting dive into the history of this niche hobby, and a very well producer & interesting video! You deserve many more subscribers! Keep these hits coming and your channel will have a very bright future! 👍

Honestly happy I got into this hobby. As a broke college student I havent been able to go very far with it, but I had the luxury of making my first custom keeb over the summer and damn do I love it. I still find myself tapping the keys simply because it's fun and I love the sound. It also never goes unnoticed when I take photos at my desk lol (photography hobbyist as well)

Really love your videos. Awesome work man

you deserve way more than 1.3k subs, can't wait to see this channel grow

Such a dope video, well done!!

this was nice to watch. nice vid

Good quality video man! Was surprised it was by such a small channel, definitely a new subscriber here.

WOW I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, I'VE BEEN HOOKED

Love it mate good one

Amazingly underrated channel. Really nice to see the journey and evolution of such a niche hobby spoken by such a great person. You earned a sub.

Awesome vid

Popped up in my recommended, really glad I clicked. Video was super entertaining and made me check out some of your other ones which were also really nice. Love your content, nowadays keyboard content is mainly paid promotions but what you're doing is really unique and entertaining, keep it up!!!!

Proud subscriber #89 - thank you algorithm for leading me here

Great video! Very informative :) great work

Love this

As someone who's been in this hobby since 2016 I remember my first truly custom keyboard a cartel x contra ortholinear 40% keyboard. Looking back I bought it because I can't afford to build a gh60. Nowadays you can build a pretty decent keyboard for under a $100. The only thing I hate nowadays is that the emphasis on sound is much more apparent compared to build quality and typing feel in this hobby than before.

the lady doing the math is me any time i look at keyboard stuff xD

Dude, what a great video, it's been more than a year since I've been part of the custom keyboards community and I had no idea of ​​the story behind it, actually I never went after it, but out of nowhere my fy appears ''The Evolution of the Keyboard Hobby'' and I think ''damn, what will be the first custom keyboard?'' and wow, what a great video, I loved the mood, the vibe, script, editing, everything. Congratulations

Nice quality vid!

I'm glad it exists and it was started by companies like Apple and IBM with their Alps and buckling switches and made really popular by Razer (1st gaming peripheral maker). God bless.

Love your style! Great video and really interesting facts

i feel like such an old head, having been in the hobby since 2018

I remember getting gen Cherry stabs, clipping them, lubing them, and they still sound crap lol

wow i had totally forgotten clipping stabs and $6 pandas

Good vid glad to be 100th🎉

Would you prefer the mr suit or a geonworks f1?

This is a banger

Underrated

nice vid!

4:19 I just did when I heard of the company kbdcraft

The aphex twin shirt is nutty

the algorithm showed me your video and based off the video i assumed u had like 500k subs at least

okay the kbdfans origin name kinda blew my mind, great video man!

good video to tired to type more or i would but i subbed

Love your channel! I started watching Glarses when he had a similar amount of subs and I remember thinking, hmm why doesn't he have more subs? Now look at his channel. I'm thinking the same about your high quality content. Keep it up man

I have watched very few videos on custom keyboards, and clicked on this video interested in the topic. Had a quick look and can tell you 100% this will be your most successful video. 10k minimum.

cool aphex twin t-shirt

You deserve way more subs its weird that you have less than 200

Im not into keyboards, but your videos are fantastic. I dont know how big a keyboard channel can get but your the top dog for sure

One more thing 02 is bringing is more budget but incredible keyboard kit from China. They literaly bring the price of nice features like south facing led, gasket mounted, knob and full acrylic case to the ground.

Bro the best keyboard where in the 80s this is just redescovering old tec

good ol GMK wait times

Dude talking about mechanical keyboard and wearing Aphex Twin t-shirt at the same time, what a combo! Thanks for the vid and enjoy the keeb ride!

very neutral, unbiased, well thought and well executed. thank you, great work!

great video charo! looking forward to seeing more content from you

Shouout to Taeha Types, 3ildcat, TaeKeyboards, and Optimum Tech for dragging me in this custom mechanical keyboard rabbit hole. It's literally started from me searching for apple extended keyboard sound test lmao.

Remember when Kailh was referred to as Kaihua and hand soldering LED diodes was a thing? Good times.

Been in the hobby since 2017, I remember that time where having a hotswap board is "not ideal" since the switches are easily removable when you are removing the keycaps. Mill max mod is the hype. My first keeb was a 3 pin outemu hotswap board and it cost a ton. Now with the same money, I can buy an AKKO hotswap custom DIY kit for less. And remember the time where buying a simple BOW and WOB keycaps will cost you are fortune. Time flies. Boards like CIYTESTER68 is a full custom board with a very cheap price tag. Loving the innovations in the hobby. More people in the hobby, more competitions and lower prices!

Seeing a Razer and the Tfue keyboard in the thumbnail made me really worried, but man, this video is nuts. The research is insane.

akko really is game changer. i want to point out also that another game changer was the inclusion of keeb parts on ali express and shopee. I lived on singapore on 2017-2019 and i started on the hobby only in 2015. i used to only find boards on drop, novelkeys and kbd fans, when i moved back to my country, brasil, parts were absurdly more expensive due to shipping and customs fees, i had to pay almost 400usd for a drop gmmk oblivion set due to shipping and taxes. Aliexpress and shopee gave me the opportunity to buy tons and tons of options for a fraction of the cost i used to pay, almost 1x1 to regular price and this completely changed the market of emergent economies. Now, with budget boards and a lot of experimentation, i can easily say that budget boards can look and sound as good as premium boards. Things like abs keycaps readily avaiable, really nice layouts for boards at cheaper price than design boards (im typing on a alice akko right now) and the vast amount of switchs ,cables, stabs, lube easily found on ali going usually with free shipping is a godsend thing for us on 3rd world countries.Indeed, im glad that elitism is slowly dying out and everyone can enjoy what a good keyboard sounds like.

fan of your works but can i suggest lower your background music next time? it's drowning your already low pitch voice

Bogo days >

man needs more subs
