In this stream I basically went full “let’s talk keyboards” mode—because yeah, you literally can’t get more on theme than that. I start by scrolling Reddit and reacting to builds, colorways, and the usual hobby drama (like when a “pink” board shows up looking straight-up flesh colored). I also nerd out over aesthetics—retro themes, cartoon-style keycaps, matching cables—and I complain about stuff that bugs me, like spacebars that curve up for no reason. Then I get into the real point: how the hobby has shifted since I joined in 2020. Back then, building and modding was the whole fun—foam, tape mod, lubing, filming, stabilizers, opening the case a million times, and actually making a board sound/feel the way you want. Now, budget and even mid-range boards are increasingly prebuilt, and while that’s great for accessibility and value, it also makes things feel more “same-y” and less original. I compare older budget customs like my Molly 60 and my first board (TM680) to newer value monsters like the Neo60 Core, and I explain why “you buy a keyboard to use it, not to open it” misses the point for modders—and for reviewers like me who literally need to open the board to tell you what’s inside.
