 We're here today at Hardware Sugar and we're looking at Bear Bones keyboard. We're going to assemble my personal build and help you understand bakit nga bang daming nalalason sa hubby na to? I'm Jay The Tech Guy and this is the Kill Your Episode 2 and we're going to find out if worthwhile nga ba yung costo-mechanical keyboards.

Check it out, cdkeyoffice.co Costo-mechanical keyboards or MKBs are keyboards with customizable parts that are better suited for your needs. Parang PC ligs may ibat-ibang settings and configurations din yan based on kung pa na mo siya gagamitin. Yung Bear Bones siya yung pinaka-foundation ng custom MKBs. Bear Bones kasi as in hindi pa siya complete. PCB at case lang ang kasama. For the rest of the keyboard, ikaw pipili ng parts. Custom MKBs usually have six parts. PCB, plate, case, switches, stabilizers, and keycaps. PCB yun yung pinaka-motherboard ng MKB mo. Sa kanya ko connect lahat in siya yung magsasend ng electrical signals papunta sa PC mo whenever you press a key. When you press H, magsasensyan ng H sa PC mo, WQW, S-Kong-S, and so forth. Yundin yung magsasabi kung nakahold ba yung shift nung pranes mo yung C o sabay-sabay bang pranes yung control alt-delay. Ito naman yung case, parang case din sa PC dito yuh house lahat ng parts ng MKB mo. Baiba rin yung look, feel, and sometimes material. Of course, iba-iba rin yung price. Ito naman yung plate. Para siyang GPU bracket ng case mo, pero four switches. Siya yung parang guide ng mounting port ng switches, which brings us to switches. Ito yung reason why you build a custom MKB. Dito magbibis yung feel or performance ng keyboard mo. There are different kinds of flavors for switches. May smooth, may maingay, may madiin, may light, and marami pang in-between. It's up to your preference and typing kung ano yung pipiliin mo. Yung stabilizers naman, ito yung product ng ka-artahan ng mga MKB enthusiast. Ayaw kasi namin ng oboga or nag-rattle yung long keys. Like, for example, yung space bar, yung shifts, yung enter keys. Sobrang weird, pero once you've tried the stable keyboard, you'll instantly know the difference. And finally, keycaps. This is another important part ng custom MKB since ito yung unang nag-mimake ng kontak sa fingers mo while you're typing. Again, more on this later. So those are the parts. Again, like custom PCs, custom MKBs requires assembly din. So we're going to assemble my bare bones keyboard. So for my build ito yung parts. I bought a rack lamb ang pro bare bones sa isang shop dito sa Makati. Brought Dorok T1 switches. Nabilikon ito sa Zion Studios ng 280 per 10 pieces. Sobrang around 2,590 pieces. For the keycaps, I chose Techware PBT backlit switches. I chose PBT kasi using ABS keycaps din sa aking current keyboard. I'm using it for six months na. And over time, meron siyang slick feel. Olin-oil, mga 5,000 yung total na ito. But again, maraming price points din ang custom MKBs tulad ng custom PCs. May forum member nga kami na randomly nagsensyan ng build niya. He didn't say the price, pero alam naming around 70,000 to 80,000 yun. Yes, you heard it right. 70,000 pesos. So we start with the case and PCB. Lalagay lang natin and screw in. This PCB is what we called a TKL or 10 kilos, meaning walaing nampad sa gilin. Mas gusto ko to kasi this occupies less space sa table ko. O yan, screw na natin yung PCB sa case. Meron siyang 2, 4, 6, 8 screws. Pwede yung palitan yung PCB. Ayaw mo yung PCB na kasama nung barebone. Just keep it in mind na may form factor din yung custom mechanical keyboard. Looks nice. That's wireless pa din. Oh, wireless to. May battery to. Hindi na namin na faita, pero yan. May switch siya for Bluetooth and Hindi. USB-C. May iba na 100% o complete may 60% rin, meaning wala ng nampad o wala rin yung area ng RO keys. Atang particular na PCB na to, hotswappable siya, meaning yung switches, pwede yung salpak lang sa kanya and gagana na. Usualy kasi yung PCB literal na board lang and you'll need to solder yung switches sa kanya. Sobrang hassle nun and I'd like to experiment with different switches in the future. So hotswappable talaga. With that in place, lalagay naman natin yung plate, din, kakabit din natin yung stabilizers. Atong stabs na to, tawag sa kanya snap-on. Yung ibang mas high-end na stabs, screw in sila. So mas matibay and mas secure, pero for now, okay na muna to. So yan, nakabita natin yung stabs, screw na natin yung plate dun sa case natin. Mas ay babaw siya ng PCB. I agree, yes. General siya. But of course, you may mga special instructions. Then, kabita natin yung, you can say, outer housing. Ya, side panel. Yung special nga pala sa PCB na to, meron tong encoder. So programmable tong encoder na to, I usually use it for volume ay. Pero pwede mo pa siyang i-program on rock software. For example, mamakrom mo siya for other softwares like yung photo shop or et cetera. Ano. Ngayon, we're going to place the switches na. Yung Duroc T1, they're often called Holy Panda Alternatives. I know that didn't make any sense to some of our viewers, pero it just mean na tactile siya na may conting din to act away. Five pins to, and yung iba three pin lang. Unfortunately, yung PCB natin, pang three pin lang, pero noritory, kasi pwede natin e-snap off yung extra na pins. Para ka siya na siya. And since RGB yung PCB natin, clear yung housing niya para makita yung light. So we're going to use this side cutter. Tung side cutter na to, ginagamit ko to sa plastic models, specifically yung gun plus. Yun, tingga gamit na natin. So yun, may kita niyo eto yung pin. Yung plastic na pin, hindi yung contacts. Yung plastic na pin. Yung plastic na pin, e-cut mo lang siya, be careful lang wind cutting kasi, yung first time na nag-cut ako na to, tinuto ko sa mata ko. Yung tomal six, tomal ka sa mata ko. So hod niyo ang tolaran. Also make sure na direct siyung contacts niya. Nung na deliver kasi sa anong switch, yung ibang contacts mezo naka-bend na. So dineret ko mo na bago pinutol din, sinukot ko sila dito sa PCB. Yun, ok na sila. Overview lang yung Doroc T-wonder tactile switches. Meron silang 67 grams na bottoming out force. Then 2mm actuation. So may clay lang yung travel. I came from Otemo Blues. I'm using Otemo Blues for my daily work. Yung alam na lang ako yung katatawa na nandal kay Ratty. Sobrang ano yung ng blues lalo na kapag nagtatayp ka most of the time. And yun nga I'm working sa chats. Most of the day nagtatayp ako. And as time goes by, sobrang ano yung nung click na tunog. But gusto ko pa rin yung feel na meron akong pinitin dot. So yun yung reason kong bahay ko pinili yung tactile. Rather than linear. Raki is the way. For switches, pinakapopular yung tactile and linear. Taktile meaning kada pin dot may mararamdaman kang parang bump. So alam mo lagi kung na actuate o nag-register na ba yung key na pranes mo. Yung iba clicky tulad nung sikat na sikat na blues. Yung linear naman on the other hand sa consistent sa press. Finally, kabit na natin yung keycaps. Again, parang PC lang, may compatibility din sila with other parts. Nito, OEM profile sa and Cherry MX type. Meaning sa board lang saan na pwede sa OEM profile and for Cherry MX type switches lang saka sa. May iba pang profile based sa ergonomics nang gusto mo like yung XDA. Bear specific yung shape niya and it's supposed to help you on typing. Meron din siyang iba't ibang materials niyong non and din di siyang nagiging shiny overtime. Kasi yung mismong plastic yung may color. Whereas yung ABS, ako itin yung quality niya, pero painted sa. And although mas brilliant and sharper yung color non compared to PBT, yung paint na yun mag-de-deteriorate overtime. Okay, dan na yung custom MkB. So yun, first impressions pwede sa build. Since ka mukang asa ng keyboard na ginagamit ko ngayon, di ka mukha. Ito talaga yung. Hindi naman ako na surprise, pero looks wise, gusto ko kasi yung parang minimalistic nalang yung design. So no bells and whistles, yun nga lang, yun lang PBT yung keycaps natin. So yun yung premium na part. Okay, flex test. Madun naga ano siya? Madun nag-beben siya ng conti ng conti. Since yun na plastic kasi yung material. Pero yung price nga naman kasi nung barebone keyboard natin since nandun sa cheaper price range. Okay, nasiguro ako dun. Heaviness mabigat. Compared dun sa rakang lamang light. Di ako for kong bakit, siguro mas mabigat yung switches nito since paras lang daman din sila ng PCB. And, ah oh, may battery nga pala ito. So yun, mas mabigat siya. My God, yung sarap sa feel. Feeling ko yung switch, design talaga siya para sa dalili ko. So yun nga, as I have said earlier, medyo heavy typist ako. Napansing ko yun anong sinabi niraki na bumibuelo yung deliri ko when typing. Unlike na yung iba pin-place lang nila ako bumibuelo. Mas gusto ko yung heavy na switches. Tapos yung sound compared dun sa utay mo blue. Yung sarap, na premium na premium for this price range. So kaksa kaya, binang kakabeles magtay. Hindi siya na kainis. Toto ko. So final thoughts with the build. Super happy ako. First feel ko to, feeling ko parang, I can compare this to premium keyboards na rin, sa feel. Kaming from otemos, albihanis, ang bilis nila mas ira. Sa glit ko pala, wala pang year, yung keyboard ko, yung ibang switches para nag-fulfill na. So yung feel nun, gusto ko yung, gusto ko yung feel ng meron akong pinitindot. Yung reason ba tako nag-attactile. Pero ayoko pa rin kasi nung, ayoko pa rin nung maingay. Ayoko nun, ayoko nun nun tunog nung click. So yun, super happy, super happy with this build. So parang sayap. Pero pwede ko na to, siguro yung compare to premium mechanical keyboards. Will I stop here? Feeling ko hindi. Kasi marami pa tayong pwede yung explore. Marami pa tayong pwede yung loobing pa, loobing nung switches. Pero olinol, sobrang, sobrang sayang ako talaga sa build na to. So why switch to mechanical keyboard? Personally yung jobs ko sa hardware sugar ang on my KB, 90% of the time. For those who don't know, I'm one of the guys answering chats sa Facebook. I also do some multimedia jobs for the shop. Coming from membrane keyboards where the keys are all mushy and inconsistent, there are times where they don't act with. O yung iba, sobrang diin compared sa iba. MKB solves all of that hassle. Gives you the best possible experience on gaming. Things like yung simple na counter strafing or jiggle-picking sa valorant or casting skill on League of Legends or even reviving your teammates sa Ghost Recon Wildlands where 0.5 seconds matter. How are you for you? You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. You and I. MKBs give you that edge and that's just something na hindi mo makawawa from membrane keyboards. Ngayon, you don't have to build your own keyboard naman to experience yung benefits ng mechanical switches. May mga pre-built din from brands like Razer, Corsair, et cetera. Yung nga lang, tulad ng PC if someone will build it for you, may mga features yun na pwedein di mo kailangan or hindi pasok sa preferences mo. And finally, the fun in MKBs is the building process itself. It's a fun and fulfilling hobby kasi yung end product is a superior replacement of what you're currently using and you build it yourself. Tapos, since you decide the parts, endless yung customization, you can truly express yourself through your keyboard. You can pick the colors, the shape and the overall angas effect to reflect your personality. May mga mix din na pang yayamanin lang tong hobby na to. And that is just not true. As with PCs, madaming budget options so you can start right away without committing too much. Get subscribed for our upcoming review of the potential best budget MKB getaway drug.
