Summary: The video starts with a YouTuber accepting a challenge to build a keyboard with a budget of $20. They aim to modify an inexpensive keyboard to make it look and sound better. The YouTuber uses creative methods like using a carbon air filter to fill the hollow spaces, press-and-seal mod, and bag lubing for switches. They encounter some challenges, including stabilizer issues, but manage to complete the build within budget. However, at the end of the video, there is a problem with the hot-swap sockets, causing the keyboard to malfunction, creating a moment of distress.
1. The speaker, referred to as "Alfred," initiates a challenge for other YouTubers to mod a similar keyboard.
2. The challenge includes a twist: participants are given randomized budgets.
3. Alfred initially expects to receive a high budget due to his previous experience.
4. However, his budget is limited to twenty dollars, which he finds insufficient for building a keyboard.
5. Despite the low budget, Alfred decides to participate in the challenge, hoping to generate ad revenue from the resulting video.
6. Alfred chooses to mod a keyboard from Amazon, specifically the WK61, which is one of the best-selling keyboards on the platform.
7. Due to his limited budget, Alfred opts for a different color of the keyboard, specifically a cyan one, to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
8. The WK61 keyboard comes with red switches, which Alfred finds unappealing.
9. Alfred decides to use press and seal oil to improve the sound of the keyboard.
10. He also uses permatex dielectric grease to mod the stabilizers of the keyboard.
11. However, during the assembly process, the hot swap sockets pop out, causing Alfred to believe that his keyboard is unsalvageable.
12. Despite the setback, Alfred remains hopeful about the challenge's outcome and encourages viewers to watch other YouTubers' videos for the results.
