    13:17 I can confirm I joined the discord to ask about keycaps and instantly like 5 people started helping me with keycaps and websites to find them and I ended up finding a set I really like from one of the websites
  • @KoKoSINIU
    just for anyone who wants to know "budget" to enthusiasts apparently means $165+ the keyboard they built in this vid is probably somewhere around $200 to $250
  • @ToyKeeper
    It may take just 2 hours to physically build... but it'll probably take weeks or even months to optimize the keymap. That's the beauty of custom boards though... they can be customized to each person's individual needs. <3
  • @JCH979
    I started with a NJ80 about a year ago, it was a nice board at the time but I would get a Keychron V1 if I were starting now. Went through several cheap custom boards till I figured out what layout I liked and have now settled with a Keychron Q8, I love Alice layouts.

    6:07 I was NOT expecting a Club Penguin throwback in a keyboard video, damn I feel old 💀
  • I was looking at the different sizes of keyboards trying to figure out what works best for me. And now I’m on a journey to make my own custom keyboard because of this channel 😂
  • @DylanKreutzer
    Having a volume knob has become a prerequisite for any keyboard I might buy. In the past, I never considered buying any keyboard that isn't the full layout with a num-pad (mostly since some older games used to use those keys on PC and in some cases it wasn't feasible to rebind the key(s).) but nowadays I almost never use my num-pad and it sure would free up some desk space for me. TKL and even 75% boards are starting to look much more appealing to me...

    Step 1.5: If you only have two hours, don't choose a GMMK Pro, too many screws and fiddling with stabs. Yes, I'm salty ... don't ask me how I know.
  • @MarcinAdamowicz
    This is the best looking keycaps I've seen so far in my life.
  • 100% can confirm building first and future custom keyboards are a blast especially with a lil Hipyo playing in the background for support.
  • @VidVayder
    Just jumped into this world very recently. So glad you made this video!
  • @gegeekay
    I'm very new to all this. I've heard the term "bent pins" often in watching keyboard vids, and how bad it would be to have one, but I didn't understand what could happen. Such great info and content in your vids. Thank you!
  • @FireLikesFire
    thanks, my new keyboard specs are keyboard : GMK67 switches : Milky Yellows, also lubed keycaps : Translucent black keycap cherry profile, and ect mods : the GMK67 already came with mods so checkmark. and saw that the stabilizers came pre lubed, thats nice!
  • @crainger
    I liked this episode. More Jeremy keyboard adventures please.
  • @S85B50Engine
    I remember putting a pen spring on caps lock way back then lol
  • 10:52 This is like my 3rd time watching this video that was a sick edit so clean i didnt even notice it till now how clean it was
  • @Shareeth
    I think building a keyboard will always be super fun if Hipyo is with us in the room.
  • @trblmkr5139
    i think i want a 75 with those caps and a silent, low pitch THOCK sound profile. he basically made the keyboard I want just a little smaller
