For anyone wondering, the GK64 is not a well designed board. Adding arrow keys to the 60% layout makes for odd rows and key sizes (like the small r shift key). Also it has no pcb mountable stab holes for the Left shift. Also the left shift is 2u size, so again non standard. Also as Linus found out, if you're using a hot swap board... check the pins are straight first.

@Figureight

6 жыл бұрын

Also anyone wondering about cost. You can build these things for WAY cheaper. The Tina case is a pretty expensive case, there are cheaper aluminium or wood options. Or even cheaper plastic options. Linus used Cherry switches, and there are way better value for money switches out there from Gateron and Kailh (seriously, Cherry does not mean the best, just because it's the original). The MX switch top removal tool can be made with a couple of binder clips and some pliers, and Linus paid top money for those springs. However, yes custom boards can cost more money (although sometimes you can build interesting things on a budget), but the reason why so many of us do it is because you can get exactly what you want out of a keyboard, and when you start looking at the variety of switches, layouts, styles, keyboard sizes and all these other things available, you will start to realise there are far more typing experiences out there than what you get with some stock prebuilt board with some cherry switches in them.

I feel if Linus didn’t make this keyboard himself he would have ripped it a new one.

"Or the whole Alpha-Numeric Set" So the whole keyboard? This is a 60%, you'd basically just be changing the backspace, tab, and caps lock keys

Watching this because I was thinking about making my own keyboard. I have a 3D printer and thought a 3D printed case to let through the RBG would be awesome. Also have access to a HAAS CNC mill that I thought I might do a custom aluminum case too.

Putting in my input, without the RIDICULOUSLY PRICED case, various cherry springs, and getting non cherry switches; the price goes down to $130. Not any cheap budget keyboard for sure, but definitely lower than the one in this video. Also, you can get a kit of this keyboard with an aluminum case, cherry switches, and keycaps for $165. Just saying, this video doesn't serve justice for beginners with a under $100 price tag in mind.

I would go for Kailh Box whites instead of MX cherry browns. They are colicky but not loud. They also have that box around it which prevents any dust or food particles from getting stuck where the stem is and it also offers some level of water resistance. I think.

Tra1aW_PC they feel like if someone took a linear switch, then threw them on the ground and stepped on them and now some part of the internal mechanism is broken. The tactile bump feels so bad that it’s hard to believe it was designed that way rather than a defect in a linear switch.

0:35 that sponsor segue was the funniest thing I have ever seen 😂 great subversion of expectations

I love my gk64 just got a xs model online with caps and switches for 70 even though will change all that and the case at some point. Still an insane deal to get started until uprading to more premium boards down the road. kinda digging the ikki68 and the nk65 atm.

I've built my own keyboard, I love it and would definitely recommend it; it DOESN'T have to be as expensive as this video says it is. Soldering may sound scary; but is incredibly easy. Just look up any soldering tutorial for mechanical keyboard switches. I would say definite lost opportunity to try more niche switches like zelios or box switches.

What's the difference in price when soldering yourself?

@foshiz97

6 жыл бұрын

Hardly any difference. You just give yourself more options in terms of pcb's which means more layouts/features. Hot swap pcb's, like the one he used, aren't too common. The pcb he bought was $39 while there's another 60% layout, from the same website, that's $33. The $33 one lacks per key rgb, but does have rgb underglow. If your worried about price, I would say Linus spent more than he had to. You may have already figured that out from other comments though.

@bbbb-mj7hd

As foshiz97 said, the price is not the issue but rather the availability. I know of like 2 or 3 hot swap PCBs thats easy to get a hold of, and all of them are non-standard in some way. The one used in the video has a pretty strange layout. While it is nice that it supports arrow key-cluster while still being 60% size, that means that the left-shift is only 2 units long. This severely limits the options for key cap sets, as most have the standard 2.5 unit shift key. If you know what switch you want and dont plan to change it, its better to just get another PCB and solder it. If you on the other hand like to change switches often, hot swap might be worth it despite the layout.

Honestly it’s just hilarious. This would be the equivalent of a generic tech reviewer building their first custom PC and using a 1080 with a FX-6300 in a fancy full-size ATX case. Gives the viewers a very skewed idea on what a balanced build would look like.

Actually, nope! Most customs almost never die, and if they do, the parts to be replaced are usually just a couple $$. Most of the time you can fix your problems by fixing a couple stupid mistakes you made when you originally made the board. The point is that the quality is magnitudes greater than most prebuilt boards.

And how is 1 hour of your time considered a lot when they often do computer builds that take longer?

I would definitely build my own keyboard, as much as people have been talking about mechanical keyboards over the past couple years I have ignored most of it, but I guess the bug bit me because I would love to find affordable parts to build one or maybe even a couple broken ones online that I can piece together.

This is by far the best intro 😂😂

Funnily enough, I got into the mechanical keyboard thing not because i wanted a better typing experience or anything but wanted to customize my keyboard layout. It's basically what Linus said at the end there, "uniquely ours" (I use a variation of what is usually called a "UNIX layout" popularized by the SUN type 6 and type 7 keyboards). The biggest issues for me where all the options, i was so paranoid about getting the wrong parts that won't fit together (less of a problem if you just want a normal layout these days, you can go for what is essentially a prebuilt - just need to pop in the switches and keycaps of your choice) and of course the money. It's a lot better now with the likes of keychron but you're still looking at 100s of dollars for a keyboard, more so if you want to do anything even remotely fun or unique with it. Things i wish i knew at the get go: the thing Linus mentioned about warranty - my first PCB essentially crapped out on me one day, and my only option was to troubleshoot myself and/or buy a new PCB and replace it (which, again, I have to do myself); and of course something a lot of people would tell you - get a hotswap. Especially as a starter, there are so many different switch options, and there's really no way to know for sure how something is going to feel or sound until you actually put things together and start typing (even something like the size/shape and material of the case will make a huge difference), there are youtube videos you could watch where someone records themselves typing with a particular build or switch or whatever but it's really not at all the same.
