this is a link to the video. What you think? I have a feeling we're going to see a spike in traffic.

Honestly it was awesome to see a video about custom boards. I expect to see a rise in traffic over here at least for right now, may not last forever but it may be a noticeable thing.

Was also funny as I was building a tkl and then looked up to see he had posted a video about custom keyboards, so I watched him build while I built my board.

Psh, amateur.

Kidding, that was a good introduction to mech boards.

But RGB and browns?   :-X

Pretty cool that he showed geekhack in the video.

I saw the teaser for this a few weeks back, and have been looking forward to seeing the final video.

Felt the build style/parts is more r/mk than geekhack, so surprised they weren't mentioned.

Agreed.

Overall a decent introduction, although I felt it was a like OTT on things such as 60%.

PCB is bad too, considering the left shift has no stabilizer slots :confused:

Yeah I agree with you.  I guess he just wanted something that was quick and easy for a video though. 

You should send him a kit to review  :))

I'm surprised more of the comments aren't about the ridiculous price. I saw a video someone did on the VE.A a while back, and basically every comment was telling the guy how stupid he was for paying $400 for a keyboard that doesn't even have a numpad.

Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.
