You should make a video acknowledging all the great boards so far. Kinda like MKBHD's Smartphone of the Year but for keyboards. Best budget, best premium, best 65%, etc.

Yay, physics again in a keybored video! Made intuitive sense that the leaf length would increase softness, but it was great to see the math behind it. This particular board isn't my style, but it's great to see more unique design and function in the hobby.

This video makes me want it more. And also makes me realize i really cant afford it lol. Great video!!!🎉

This keyboard is extremely innovative, it might not be perfect right now but im sure future board designers will be taking many notes from this board

Will you be doing one on the AM Compact Less? It’s sacrilege to true HHKB but I think it has some really cool features to bring the HHKB aesthetic to those who would otherwise never commit to the layout.

Hi Scott can you make a guide for how to order a custom fr5 plate from one of the major pcb manufacturers? There aren't any youtube guides on this and I think you would be the perfect person to do such a guide. Loving the videos

Really loved my cyberboard aesthetic. Purchased the terminal, had PCB issues since day one (pcb randomly restarts, despite flashing/resetting). Submitted over 3 tickets on their website, never got a response to any of them and gave up. While I love what agrymiao is doing, I can't say I could ever justify purchasing another at that pricepoint. Also the software was a real pain unfortunately. Sorry! Just trying to share my experiences with customer support as a possible red flag!

Probably because it isn’t exactly innovative. Some fairly recent boards that use the same right shift placement include the sneakbox AVA and Owlab spring.

Yo, I am misunderstanding something in the math and science, or does it look like you visually mixed up the diagram at 8:50? Isn't the soft setting supposed to have more torque and hence more leaf flex, thus making it feel softer? Eitherway, I always love the science lessons to help explain these design choices.

The design is pretty cool, and as a fellow designer I admire the attention to detail, its just too bad its an alice layout.. They should have gone for a more conventional split like the dygma raise, keebio sinc, or quefrency or gone all they way and made it an actually ergo, column-stagger layout. I'll save you the rant, but the alice layout is *yikes* when it comes to ergonomics.

TBH when you buy a custom keyboard from scratch and don't go the entry level route, custom KB can go from 400$ up to 650$ just for the housing, PCB and maybe 2 plates if lucky. Then you got to add switches, stabs, films, wristrest, Custom lemo cable, lube station, lube / tools, (solder iron + tools, if not going for hotswap) and if you want GMK keycaps you can add 500$+ easily on top of the former price. So yeah 800$ is a lot but when you compare that to building a premium custom keyboard from scratch you will actually spend less. BTW this kb looks interesting but not sure if this layout is worth 800$ for basically experimenting. PS: most people are going for budgets kb so you won't spend that much $ on a KB but for an enthusiast, he will spend a lot for sure, is it worth the money ? that depends from person to person. some spend on alcohol and woman some on cars some on gaming etc to each his own
