1 crucial step to watch for anyone planning on building a KB; test that the stabilizers work smoothly and in particular the spacebar. I learnt the hardway of needing to remove the switches to allow me to remove the plate, and check my spacebar stabilizer. Excellent video and KB! :)

Beautiful keyboard. Just ordered two U80-B myself. Can't wait to put them together. Great video thanks.

Upon reviewing the footage, I noticed that the A keycap was not mounted properly. It proved to be the switch that wasn't seated entirely. That is now fixed so the keyboard looks 100% perfect without a strange gap around the A key. :)

Man, I'm envious. That is one beautiful colorway and much easier to match with keycaps. Grats on that (when it arrives). :)

I'm also a big fan of custom mechanical keyboards, and plan to do a keyboard related video as well at some point in the future, although with a bit more of a Star Wars connection. I'm currently typing this on a RAMA Jules keyboard BTW. Their boards are not cheap, but they are nice.

That so great to hear! I think mechanical keyboards have become very popular over recent years. And if you are into gaming, PC building etc. Then mechanical keyboards is just another avenue to explore. :) I'd like to do a Star Wars build too! That's actually a good idea! I should source out the GMK Boba Fett keycaps. But I imagine they are pretty expensive right now, hehe! The Jules is a wonderful board. Yes, expensive, but when you are used to statue collecting, then it easier to swallow. ;)

My advice is don’t. Save yourself the online abuse, the endless late night browsing, the constant disappointment of failing to secure a board in raffle or FCFS, $$$ gone for a year or more without product, your only guarantee a board is great based on online sound test and build stream plus many more headaches. Stay away from Keycults and don’t join the raffle because I’m in it and your competing with me.

ooh dude i just snagged a U80 in Soya, and was thinking about keycaps for it... very inspired by your build :D
@DarthChrisDK2 жыл бұрын
Grats! The SOYA is a very unique board. It is not for everyone, and it sometimes takes a bit of guts to pair it with an exciting colorway keycaps. :) I currently sport it with the GMK WoB. That looks so good too! :)

I have just build the yolk color one, it is amazing. I count it has only 86 switches? I bought 90 switches and 4 left.
@DarthChrisDK Жыл бұрын
Grats on the Yolk. A typical TKL has 87 switches I believe. But you usually buy them in packs of 10 which is great since it's good with a few extra in case some of them are not working properly.

Hi there. I'm based in EU. So I got it from here: keygem.store/collections/tools/products/empty-bottle. There's the empty class container for the 205, but also the bottle for the oil.

Currently typing on one myself. I wasn't impressed at all, especially by the brass plate. Ended up cutting out the alphas from the mute silicone pad and had a custom PC plate cut. Honestly improved the board BIG time.
