I went into the hobby thinking: A cheap board with mid range switches and cool looking keycaps would be good enough. 1.5 year/ later: 1. I can't stand scratchy switches. I thought I would get away by getting pre lubbed switched. The answer is: You don't. 2. If it's not GMK, it's probably bad legends and bad sound. Drives me mad looking at inconsistent text width. 3. Yes, the board itself is very important. I thought that switches and caps are like 99% of the feel. Not true :/ 4. My wallet hates me.

I would agree to say that you would have to look on a set per set basis. Same goes for Tao, they have great stuff as well. But with GMK I can rely on a consistent quality and luckely I did not have to deal with banana space bar so far. But they have their own bs going on. GMK packaging is terrible. I can buy caps that are 1/5 of the price and they come with better packaging. And don't get me even started on Group Buys. I usually go for the pre-orders, because my god, who want to wait for a product for 1.5 years or longer.

Great Video Shoobs I Just Ordered My! New! Thocky! Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX RGB Blue. Thank you for your help!

I used to be a "nobody needs a numpad" guy till I got a job that needs a numpad and now I wish there was more of a community for custom full size

""Shoobs Personal Favorites - Tactiles: Cherry MX Browns" Glarses would be ashamed.

Idk why, but when you listed your personal favorite switches, I read the MX Blacks as MX Blues. Imagine listing your favorite linear as that.

While glarses was my first contact with the hobby, you’re the one who got me invested, love the vids

Its a good day when Shoobs uploads

10:15 since he didn’t list a clicky switch: - Kailh BOX Clickbar switches(Pink, Jade, or Navy) - ZealPC Clickiez

Best ending, love the humour, it's all fluid. And I bought my first keeb a week ago, love your work

one quick tip for new ppl like me.. a gasket mounted hotswap w a pom plate is likely to pop the corner keys out of the socksts

6:35 another reason why people choose soldered is because of the plateless and half plate options in some keyboards (plateless hotswap is kinda sus, pe foam does help the switches to stay in place but not everyone likes pe foam)

The "resistance" guide: You will want the stiffest, the loudest pitched and the MOST tactile offering with The Resistance Guide(trademark in progress). -Get a tray mounted case with a brass plate -Ignore dampening -DO NOT mod stabs (okay if you want it to be stable, you may balance the wires) -Pick BOX Navies, perfect for the job (unironically, this is just the switch most frowned upon despite being the second best in the MX market) -Get the thinnest keycaps possible to bring out the sound (aesthetics don't matter, get whatever you want) If you follow the steps and resist the meta, we can finally remind people that this is ALL JUST PREFERENCE.

Ortholinear 40% keyboards with clicky switches are the best kind of keyboards you just haven't reached that point of enlightenment yet. They are also the easiest to build if you don't count customizing the firmware as part of the build process. But a custom firmware created to suit an individual's unique workflow is what makes a keyboard truly custom.

HA HAA jokes on you buddy, Ive bought my last ever board 2 months ago, which all my parts ready and waiting. I'm gonna be selling the rest once that board comes in later this year. ive got one of each of the % you have listed + a numpad. My journey is nearly complete. All my final boards are Solder. 2 of my hotswaps are tester boards :P All seriousness though, Don't forget about the Switch Films as some switches need them. Trybosis 3204 is also pretty good. Dielectric Grease is another alternative to stab wires. Stab pads and washers (because some don't include them) Switch openers and Lubing stations. Switch holder for ease of lubing switches and a decent paint brush. Then Also maybe need to Invest in a coiled cable. Then later you start to dive into artisans and proper keyboard cases. Then display case..................

Shoobs upload. PogU

I've probably built over 30 keyboards but still decided to watch this video, because why not..

over 4k in the credit debt thanks Shoobs, my Frog TKL sounds nice by the way

Im on the full board side, need the numpad for work. Took a while to find something useful that wouldnt cost too much, ended up with SK108 board (from ali), and im pretty happy with it. But yeah, its really tough to find anything if you want to build a full sized one, beware

There are several good full size options. I wouldn't even consider getting anything smaller for my main keyboard, maybe a 95%, but, for most people, the idea that a full takes up too much space on a desk is overstated.

Not a beginner but i watched the whole video cause i knew shoobs would make it cursed

Shoobs enjoyer rise up!

Jelly Epoch :basically most new beginnerboards. ☠

You fargot about FOAM as essential part too!

I may not always need a numpad, but I still like having it and refuse to give it up, along with a full nav cluster. I also like clickies. That by itself immediately ejects me from the rabbit hole by sheer force of dividing by zero because apparently nobody in this hobby can comprehend such a combination of preferences... I still keep jumping back in though... Been doing so since 2014...

Yeah, you'll take my numpad from my cold, dead fingers. I'll mod a keyboard before I give up the numpad. Also, Box Navies are the bomb.

One big thing with soldered PCBs is that they allow you to run those sweet half-plates. Edit: oh hey Shoobs, you should note that the QK65 comes with stabilizers in the kit! Any noobs out there that ordered it won’t need to order stabilizers.

I started out with a prebuilt TKL with blues, thinking it was the coolest thing I owned. When I first typed on a custom 60% I knew I was hooked. I spent a ton of money building boards for myself, but then I realized that I can do commissioned builds. I get to have fun while influencing others into the hobby. There are some things that I will be frugal about, like buying GMK sets and going into really exclusive GB's. Solely for the fact that I hate waiting.

Someone needs to summon glarses for the sin of shoobs including mx browns as a personal favorite on his switch recommendation sheet

I need a numpad because I play a lot of roguelikes and I use emdashes in my writing. The search for a full size or 96% is a struggle.

Lmfao, i died when you said "us mouth breathers" Welp i at least resonate with someone in the mechnical keeb hobby.

LOL I'm a casual enthusiast my only keyboard is RK 87 and it actually feels good to me but when you haven't felt anything that's high quality it's hard to know what I'm actually missing out on. I am planning on building one but can only put a few hundred in it.
