The video is a tutorial on how to build a custom keyboard, with a focus on making it sound better. The host, Stephen, guides his friend Steven through the process, which includes choosing a keyboard, testing various keyboards and switches, lubing the switches, installing the switches, and choosing keycaps.
Stephen then reveals that they will need to modify the keyboard to improve its sound. This includes a "force brake mod" that uses tape to reduce the ping in the keyboard, a "PCB tape mod" that makes the board sound deeper, and a "kill mat mod" that uses an automotive dampening mat to improve the sound.
The final modification involves stuffing the keyboard with extra foam to reduce ping. After all the modifications, the keyboard is tested and it sounds significantly better. Stephen concludes that building a keyboard can be fun and easy, and that modifying it can greatly enhance its performance.
