Big note on the films: which ones to use will depend more on the housing on your switches than your desired thockiness. For high quality switches with smaller housing tolerances you probably want to avoid going any thicker than 0.15 (for Tealios I think 0.12 is actually better), anything thicker and you're just increasing strain on the tensioners instead of removing more rattle.

The sound difference is minute but it's there. Grats on that upgraded build Hamaji!

The difference in sound is subtle, but it is noticeable. A great upgrade, i give it an 11/10 :)

I'm shocked people think this is a minor upgrade, the difference is immeasurable! Well done!

Hey man! You've inspired me to build a mechanical keyboard, so I just want to say thanks and I hope you'll keep making videos!

Ohhh my god was just about to basically make this entire build. Thank you so so much for the suggestions and noting that brass isn't the best when it comes to this build. You've saved me one hell of a headache Hamaji, thanks for all you do💙

This sounds amazing. Very good upgrade, the brass at the bottom really fits the case and the key caps are beautiful. Sharp sounding too. Great work.

Holy crap that improved the sound so much. Nice job Hamaji!

i love the jazz in the background, could you maybe make a playlist?

i honestly love all of your videos. they're so high quality and the editing is everything! this hobby is so expensive and I doubt i'll ever get into it, but i definitely love watching it!

damn i’m just now realizing how inconsistent the old one is (not saying it was bad it was great)

Love you hamaji I know I’m not the only one but I now am into making keyboards cuz of u

i love watching your keyboard videos, they are so simple and high quality.

7:08 that was smooth

seems like a very good rebuild. nice sound. well done man

That sounds fantastic, I could fall asleep to the sound of the upgraded keyboard

Thanks for uploading such good videos. I was sad and I watched this video and I was much less sad and it’s very cool to know about something that seems so simple yet so complicated.

i was at his stream when he was struggling to even start desoldering 😂 congrats hamaji!!

I recently discovered your YT channel and I love it, you're doing amazing videos !

I just love your keyboard videos! You are one of my favorite keyboard KZfaqrs!

Earned a sub from me. Really enjoyed the descriptive commentary. Well done!

the upgrade sounds so much better goooooooooood job

the editing is insane in the vid! btw you should stream more

Lol I’m doing this same thing right now with rebuilding my kbd75v2, but I added the hipyotech pcb tape mod and some screw in stabs. I also soldered millimax sockets to mine so it could be hotswap. Great vid, that gold colored plate is sick btw

Hey man just want to say you inspired me to build my first keyboard. I watched your first build vid when it came out months ago. Then I saw this upgrade vid and wanted one so bad. So I’m doing it! Kbd 75 with brass plate, black inks will be lubed and filmed, zeal clear screw in stabs, gmk white on black, and a custom cable of some sort (haven’t decided yet). Thank you for your videos they are awesome to watch.

just remembered your name and was like where do i know that from? looked you up on youtube and was like oh its this guy. Love the vids! Keep it up! Subbed

Thanks for the best comparison between filmed or not.

As a beginner for this kind of things your explanation is very helpful and you did a great job

Oh wow didn’t know you were doing this now, I just watched your tf2 vids, nice that you are going into your other interests, great job keep it up.

Very nice work on this one Hamaji! I wish you the best end game vibes

it was quite pleasant to see the process of redoing it all and doing it better. that's what life is all about, learning from mistakes and making things more improved. We as humans have it in our nature to not be happy with what we have, and in this case it's a good thing

It looks sooo niceeee, 300k subs on the way

In my opinion this was the best keyboard that you made, seeing you upgrade It makes my opinion more strong

your honestly one of the most entertaining keyboard channels

my current board using lubed and filmed black inks. loving it so much.

10 min exactly CLEAN

Here i am looking for ideas and such for my KBD75v3 build with vintage blacks and i find this. thanks a bunch year ago Hamaji

Great video! I'd recommend doing the "before" before the "after" for the typing test though, always just seems a little more hype when it's done in that order

Love the upgrade! ^^

I just filmed my Holy Pandas with Deskeys films yesterday after using them only lubed for months. The switches have a much more consistent sound profile once films have been applied. Love the great content man. Keep it up!

When you started the typing, I thought you were going to put “I never seen two pretty best friends” 😂😂😂

5:01 YES!! He listened to my advice from the original video. We don't want hamaji to turn into a wheezy boi

Holy moly that’s an upgrade

I knew custom keyboards were a thing but I didn’t realize how complex or even how expensive it could get. I want to build one now.

For keeb lovers looking for a thockier sound profile, i would highly suggest trying out a FR4(same material as pcbs) plate or polycarbonate plate. The more flexible, softer plate material really makes the downward key strokes more bassy, and overall “thockier”, when compared to the metal plates (brass, aluminium)

niceeeee. I got my gateron black inks with deskeys films a week ago, and they sound amazing

I'm really enjoying this series on your 1st custom mech keeb. I built the same model, the KBDFans 75v2, so it's been quite relevant for me. On the topic of a adding foam, either with the KBDFans own foam insert or instead of it - I have a suggestion. Use a custom cut piece of Sorbothane. I used 2 different thickness - 1/8" and 1/10"; one being 40 Duro, the other 50 Duro (I specifically did this since there is a cutout on the inside of the bottom plate of the 75v2 & I wanted my sorbothane insert to fit perfectly). If you want to keep things simpler; a single 6'x12' sheet of 40 Duro Sorbothane will do the job. It is the ultimate sound & vibration dampening material. I even added some to the inside of my spacebar & both Shift keys. It worked wonders! I love the deep, low 'thockiness' of my keeb without any added ping from any of the plastic parts (keycaps, stabs, etc).

the streams were pretty pog

The upgraded ones sounded sooo good

nice upgrade!

Great Build!

This will be interesting to watch, as I'm about to build a KBD75V2!

When are you going to do the NK65 build? I'm looking forward to that! btw your keyboard sounds much better now. keep it up!

Real ones will know: rip mousepad

Big difference. Good job

Sounds super good

goddammit now i actually have to commit to building my next keyboard, the sound of this keyboard is heaven

This channel has turned into keyboard asmr and I can't complain

Nice Content Neo

That roll of foam he has is going a looooong way.

I see you became a keyboard channel, nice

Clip in stabilizers aren't always bad, the main issue is they are prone to popping out of the PCB if handled incorrectly during transport. The main difference you noticed is most likely due to not band aid modding your stabs.

I know nothing about keyboards, but these videos are very calming to watch. But honestly i really need to get a new keyboard myself, mine sounds god awful

Its nice to see someone else who touch types with a half pivot style, 3 fingers at most on each hand, Honestly thought i was the only one.

glad to see the progress. keep it up! also this is preference, but i dont really find 8008 matching well with the black/brass case design. i feel like a nice WOB set would definitely integrate the entire build much nicer. but PREFERENCE

Very subtle, but the stabilizer difference is well worth the effort.

bro RIP those switch pins at 4:47 😂

i read the comments thinking that the sound would be one for one, but the change was very noticeable! My ears are very sensitive to the little click when you typed on the original, so the upgrade made a big difference to me

I just bought a KV36O6V5 and im very happy

I have a question for the stabilizers the Ones you used they saying that it doesn’t fit with the brass plates ? Is it true ? Or every brass plate is different ? Because I was looking to get the gmmk pro but some dude said he had to shave the side for them to fit with the brass plate glorious includes.

I’m not even into keyboard making, but his voice. Damn

dude this keyboard is the best keyboard i have ever seen and heard..

ayyy we out here

Definitely a very noticeable upgrade to my opinionated ears. Nicely done! 🤜💥🤛

This is the best sounding keyboard I've ever heard.

100% worth the upgrade

that brass plate though 😍

It is so satisfying enduring something with someone till they get what they want Press F for the fallen mousepad.

stabilizer upgrade is the single best thing you can do for a better keyboard build (that, or lubing)

time for the next build

Pcb and case foam on the brass plate version made a huge difference on mine, you should've included that in your upgrades

Filmed switch sounds like a machine gun Btw 8008 best keycaps :))) my first gb keycaps

I've noticed that you went back to gateron black inks. Do you prefer these over tealios v2? Also, how are the springs? Did you swap them out, or are you using the stock springs? I feel like the stock springs are a bit too heavy for gaming.

Hey,I am currently between this 3 Linears,I will buy my first Keyboard,The Kemove Snowfox and it comes in Gateron Yellows,Blacks or Reds,I was wondering if you could recommend any of the 3 switches

THE SPACEBAR

i was watching the stream when you where trying to fix your spacebar and it was very chaotic

Hamaji loves the word premium

Hey Hamaji, for the Kbdfans 75, does the pcb come with backlighting as well? I really want some backlighting and shine through on the key caps along with the under glow. If not, is it able to be customised so that it is?

looks like your solder joints need a tiny bit more heat. After you feed all the solder in, keep the iron there for an extra like second or two and you'll see the solder drop down into the joint and you'll get a better, more solid joint

Any ideas on how to get that GMK 8008 keycaps (the real ones). Will they release another batch of them or they discontinued?

Hey Hamaji Neo, now that you have upgraded your KBD75v2, will you be using this keyboard or your KBD TOFU 65 as your main typing board?

The stabs make the most difference. 👌

Have you watched Nathan's subathon ? At some point, there was an entire discussion going on about lubing stabs. Plug the butt is definitely the way to go, BUT i have to agree with Nathan .. 1) you have more control injecting it rather than stuffing it and 2) using 205g0 is just more refined . I got those same injection needles from his Amazon storefront, and they are very good indeed. I even filled one of the needles with dielectric grease. I used that specific grease-needle to fill the hole that holds the bend of the stab-bar itself. Normally, when you grease up the bend of the bar with a brush , and you then force-click it into the hole, then the grease gets pushed up and to the sides. Injecting the hole with grease FIRST will allow the bar to be "dropped" into the greased-up hole. Hope you can visualize this a bit,

Regarding foam for the keyboard, I was thinking that flexi Seal liquid might be a nice new option for insulating and helping with sound on keyboards. You can paint it on and make it as thin or thick as you want and you can build it up in more recessed areas and even paint the sides a bit. Maybe on my next keyboard.

dude making so many keyboards

Those stab wires look like golden staples

I have a question what is the website you use to type and see your speed ?

How do you even make that spacebar sound better? I know it’s possible but how would you even do it after it’s been upgraded?

If you still want to try some kind of foam, might I suggest sorbathene? It’s definitely harder to work with than your average foam but it’s just *so good* at eliminating any hollowness the KBD75 has and it really helps the thock

I’m thinking about getting black inks + films for my kbd75v2. I already have those durock stabs thankfully. I want that thocc
