Disclaimer: They did let me keep this unit but this does not affect my opinion or thoughts about the board.
This is the Gehirn by Baionlenja. It was manufactured by Kezewa and sold by Qwertypop and other vendors. This WAS an in stock drop but they did let me know there will be a round 2 group buy or drop for people interested.
This is clearly not for everyone, but if you appreciate a chunky design with some interested visual elements and story behind the board, this may be for you. Other than that, expect a very solid top mount board with a small quality of life system around the screw for the enclosure. Remember there are PLENTY of well priced TKLs but if you wanted something with a bit more... edge to it, this may be up your alley.

The attention to detail and the design features are compelling if you are into this. HRGiger/Biopunk theme isn't my thing but if it is yours and you have the funds, this would definitely be a showpiece for a collection.

Just wondering, 11:44 could you go more into detail what kind of switches do you think don't work well with top mount?

@yybbhn 6 ай бұрын

I think he's mostly talking about preference here, but mounting will change the sound profile. sandwich mounts are the stiffest and will carry sound through the whole case, whereas gaskets won't anywhere near as much. top mount is between the two, and slightly closer to sandwich in that sense

@incongruous4 6 ай бұрын

@@yybbhn Yeah I'm just curious about his take what he personally thinks doesn't work well. Like if he doesn't like long pole or clackier pom housing materials and prefers to balance things out with a nylon switch, something like that. I have 2 top mounts, one with pom plate and banana splits which has a lower sound signature and the other with pom plate and holy pandas which is very clacky. I like them both equally.

@FrickinBasilisk 6 ай бұрын

My opinion is that long poles and top mount are too harsh to the ear. After trying so many configs I would do normal stems in top mounts. Cherry's sound good in any mount. I don't really pay attention to the composition of things anymore like POM or Nylon etc. I've heard Alex speak about top mount nuance but I also am not sure on specifics so I hope he replies to you.

@jaykayb 6 ай бұрын

hey guys, im pretty new to the hobby, just wanted to ask if it is common practice to not film the switch on the spacebar? and also, how does not filming it affect the sound of the spacebar?

@huymichael5641 Ай бұрын

Filming doesn't really changes the way that a switch sound, it's more about fixing the wobbliness of the stem.

@huymichael5641 Ай бұрын

some switches with really loose housing needs film in order to tighten it but switches nowaday are manufactured with very high tolerance housing already, so most switches nowaday don't need filming while it is required for some of the older switches

@keebface 5 ай бұрын

BUYER BEWARE. Ordered an in stock OBJ.1 four weeks ago, couldn't get on a general query after ordering, noticed the keyboard I ordered is not in stock now, not been able to get a response since. Quick google search shows they shafted a bunch of people in a GB. Now got PayPal on the case to get my refund. When they do respond I'm sure I'll get the usual "I was on holiday" or "my hamster died" crap.

@alexotos 5 ай бұрын

This was in stock from a vendor, I am not sure what is going on with the designer though. I've heard some weird stories as of late, which is a shame.

@keebface 5 ай бұрын

@@alexotos UPDATE in case anyone is following the thread - it just seems that they are really short handed and they can't respond to customer support emails. Nothing worse than spending a load of money and not being able to reach anyone. I managed to get them on Discord and I'm more confident that they will deliver. It is a shame though. Amazing keyboards but issues with delivering on GB's, refunds, and customer support don't seem to be isolated. Hopefully I'll get my OBJ.1 soon and they'll get their issues sorted.

@sgarridojr 6 ай бұрын

Nice board, I had the intention of buying it BUT I think is too expensive for what it is. Not great sound and the case design quite simple

@impointr 6 ай бұрын

Quite a shame this keyboard doesn't look so special on the outside. It's so unassuming that i find it hard to justify its cost. I really don't like the hidden screws design to fasten the top and bottom case together... Generally that's a surefire way to scuff up the case or lose screws if you aren't careful enough.
