Building a mechanical keyboard is a great way to get something that’s completely tailored to your needs. I built my first so-called 75 percent keyboard, which uses Zealio switches, providing a compact experience that should last a lifetime.

What would go into your perfect keyboard?
Him: “Trying to buy keyboards on Amazon may be a stretch”
Me: laughs in everything out of stock with group buys taking 10 years to ship
This is pretty solid actually. Gotta get this guy a fan for the soldering though. Also he really needed to giver more love to those stabs. Investing so much on killer switches but lacking on the stabs is wild.
That spacebar .….…
Should’ve lubed the switches and stabs… 🙁
he’s on point, the video was professionally made, but that spacebar need some good old Krytox lol, not even the Zealios can hide the rattle
I’m sorry but the KBD 75 is not endgame. Not even close.
Try lubing the stabilisers, it’s quite easy and fast
oh god this is the exact opposite of keyboard asmr
Is it just me or is it HELLA SCRATCHY
Lube the stabilizers
That fking space bar just murdered my ears
LUBE!
pretty good board and all but just please holle mod that spacebar or just lube it up right its just ruining a beutful board
This definitely won’t be an endgame board , no lube and iso! No hate to British people And the nail in the coffin are the zeal 65 gram switches
Jesus Christ that spacebar sounds like membrane keyboard stabilizers
Sounds terrible is mate
It’s good but the rattle i sikdruguirsdikusrdgiudruoidrugidrgudrughfduigurdif
Watching this 2 years after it’s posted, now upgrade it to usb‑c connection, put some foam in, and lube the switches, then its really end game LOL
Mini USB… not end game .
not thocky tho <3
omg the spacebar?
buckling springs are not mechanical
Spacebar?
the only thing i can hear during the sound test is the spacebar rattle
not as bad as i thought it would be, but god that spacebar is worse than atleast 75% of pre builts on the current market
oh no sir..that spacebar is bad bad bad
Rattle eek
good to see verge sticking to its roots. that spacebar killed thousands.
That rattle from the stabilizers though, yikes.
No no no no no
looks old i love it
That spacebar gave me anxiety
mini usb.….….….….….oof.… that spacebar is horrid but good job
THE SPACEBAR HELP NOOOO
