@glarses where upi buy the large piece at ?
@Anthony Peters yep
This channel isn’t about keyboard, this channel is about the pure sheer determination of a man doing anything to reach his goal. Respect

agreed.
@NYKIRA No place for BW
I'm an engineer and I've been cracking up through this whole video. This is how every project I ever did during college went, including the shrug when the 1.5 spring spacebar was like... good enough?
Also PLA and ABS is basically what super glue is made for. Cyanoacrylate should always be your number 1 go-to for anything plastic that needs to be fixed.
@Merlin Draws I use Weld-On 3. I've never had PLA-to-PLA seams made with it fail. I got the initial recommendation from a guy who makes 3D printed cameras professionally.
@Dylanger Gutierrez chemical solvents tend to fail on some plastics like pla. there's a select few that seem to work decently. which weld-on product do you use that actually works? i've heard that MEK works really well on pla but it's really hard to get around here.
@Merlin Draws or 3d paint pen
@Merlin Draws No reason to use heat when a chemical solvent like Weld-on will actually weld the pieces of plastic together with no risk of warping or burning.
"Everything that could go wrong went wrong. And then everything that couldn't go wrong also went wrong."
I love that one.
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE bet
Even with all the setbacks, seeing you plow right through them with sheer determination is honestly inspiring.
I agree
D̶O̶N̶T̶ ̶R̶E̶A̶D̶ ̶M̶Y̶ ̶N̶A̶M̶E̶
Mad respect for being a trooper and getting through COVID and literally everything that went wrong, some incredibly inspiring shit
Yeah what a wrench in the works that must have been
Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong for this man but he still somehow managed to complete the keyboard at the end. Bravo!
As someone who used the Giant Keyboard as the Tech Expo, I must say it felt a lot more polished than the video makes it seem! Didn't realize it was so stressful, great job telling the story as well.
tbf, when you're a multimillion company, something like a big keyboard would be something that'd be a lot easier, given how they kinda have every possible resource and more than 2 days to make it.
@Myselph oh fair enough
i haven't seen one personally, good luck finding it though
@-Ohokk0- No, I meant if there was a vlog or something I'd like to see
@Myselph there isn't a link lol it's an expo
@Myselph Link to what?
His friends were so sweet for helping him with such a random thing so relentlessly 😂
His friends are called Jamie and Fraser!!! 🤣 (If you know, you know)
Yeah especially as they were locked in
I used to be in a competitive cosplay group, and man, the sense of con crunch in this video is such a good encapsulation of the feeling. I almost miss it, emotions all running high and frustration even higher, but you’re surrounded by your best friends
nice
i like cowboy brbop
That’s what this reminded me of hahahaa
I was never competitive, but just con crunch in general and the fatigue and determination that comes from it
You could have added 2 extra springs on each side of the spacebar to support it, and continue its original function. Superglue+random extra plastic for retainers would have worked for that. I have to say, you guys did an EPIC job! Not many people would take on such a task, bravo, imo! :D Also, I have no idea how you managed to spend THAT MUCH, what an insane waste of money, regardless of where it comes from. I just hope you were able to get a justifiable amount of happiness out of it, if that happened, well done.
I've never felt this tense watching a bloke and his friends assemble a keyboard. Complete opposite of most keyboard channels and I love it!
I love it too
D̶O̶N̶T̶ ̶R̶E̶A̶D̶ ̶M̶Y̶ ̶N̶A̶M̶E̶
I am impressed, I bow down to your determination and your skills - that's a MAD keyboard you got there, respect and admiration ♪
I'm not even particularly passionate about keyboards (I use a mechanical keyboard but I'm not a hobbyist) but when youtube suggested this video going "Hey you wanna watch a man build a big ass keyboard?" I couldn't not answer "yes please".
@Glarses Based comment

@matterno that's not quite how it works, but leave while you still can, this hobby is heroin
Stop here or you will become a keeb
@Glarses based
Absolutely huge respect to this guy. I can’t believe he’s uploading every day for the next decade.
lool 😭😭
D̶O̶N̶T̶ ̶R̶E̶A̶D̶ ̶M̶Y̶ ̶N̶A̶M̶E̶
The level of extent this man went to is amazing 😂
Like seriously as a person who does work in design and project managing, as well as sales and I was previously a machinist, the engineering and extra details behind making the components is crazy. Congrats dude
The passion, tense and awesomness to every detail and hard work he puts in to this was a lot!
D̶O̶N̶T̶ ̶R̶E̶A̶D̶ ̶M̶Y̶ ̶N̶A̶M̶E̶
The fact that Spite was the inspiration for this is what makes it great......in my opinion. greatness is achieved through spite
huge respect to his friends who worked with a man recovering from covid so we'd get our entertainment
I thought the same thing, what fearless pals
fr they are MVPs, if they didn't help it would'nt have been possible
I normally dont watch this kind of content but this was and is amazing, we should all support creators like you. The world is made a better and more beautiful place by people like you, thank you.
Huge props for pushing through this nightmare build
There is a Clip-Sharer who is 7’1” tall that could benefit from this legendary giant keyboard. I love this.
Your keyboard is brilliant! I’m glad you popped up in recommended videos. Consider me subscribed.
The extreme dedication to getting that keyboard finished in time is amazing! Keep up the great work!!
“This seems like a bad idea, but I’m all out of good ideas” words to live by
The fact you scaled up *the PCB itself* and didn't just use multiple smaller ones is legendary.
Couldn't you just put a wire from each switch to a tiny board?
@Pepega You would handwire the switches in a matrix and only need a small pcb would have sufficed
How would he use multiple smaller ones when the gap between keys is much bigger?
@Trevor yeah that's was kinda my thought too lol
Could have just used one small one and wired the switches which would have been a pain but this pcb probably cost like 2k lol. Still infinitely cooler though
People who put this kind of effort into their videos deserve so much more recognition.
Take the like, dude. You deserve it :0 I’m exhausted just thinking about all that hard work.
You deserve so much more admiration than I could put in 1000 comments, but the fact that you got through covid with a week time limit where literally anything reasonable that I can think of went wrong actually makes this video way more inspiring than I ever thought a video about making a giant keyboard could ever be.
Man, I don't care about keyboard that much as long as they do the job and feel nice under the fingers. I usually don't get half of what makes a good feel, sound or whatever. But I am addicted to your channel now.
You really share your passion in an awesome way !
Soo proud of you brother. Great job!!
"If you stab me I can tank it"
He truly is that guy

As a person who has been stabbed, I can say most people can tank it
That's an evolutionary adaptation for being British.
me not gonna like you kej not going ttouch this comment kek
This man has created Angry German Kid’s ultimate weapon. Mad respect.
this guy can put more effort into one dumb idea than the effort i put into anything in my life
Imagine how razer felt with their "the biggest keyboard" on the show floor when you rolled this in lol.
the story telling is truly spectacular, such tragedy, such triumph, just for a reasonably sized keyboard
You should be careful around Razer now.
Never know when they will get their revenge.
Yeah and they have snakes
@resdamalos you might need a cheeto to get into your apartment 🤔
@BinkSayres dibs on living in one of the keys
they will just make Glarses's triple keyboard but in this scale as a revenge.
Every credit to you mate, I know how long that would’ve taken, Jesus, I would’ve had a massive constant headache 2 days into it 😂
First time I have ever watched one of your videos.
Very inspirational bro. I've been sick a lot this month and all of my plans seem to keep getting pushed back. But even with you having to deal with the exact same thing, you didn't let that stop you.
While it might have been a struggle.. you completed it. And that's something to be proud of. Good job man. Loved the video.
I walked into this expecting a little clip of an above average keyboard, but this has been one of the most anxiety inducing 19 minutes I've seen in a video, nice job on the video and the keyboard!
Brooooooooo, the way I admire the determination in this video is unreal. Great job 👌🏽 new sub from me. Keep up the good work
Now all you need is a giant mouse pad and a giant gaming mouse to really flex on razor
Truly one of the keyboards of all time
I give it a rating /10
Truly one of the keyboards
Where's one of the mouses of all time
My favorite part was when he said "it's Glarses time" and glarsed all over it.
What does this mean
Facts
This was the most stressful but also satisfying thing to watch
This man holds within him the indomitable human spirit!
You are fucking wild my dude. This was so awesome to watch. Your sheer willpower and determination! Subbed!
Love this video so much :D
I've always been lost in finding a keyboard of my size (Most keyboards sit around the 18in length range) but I'd need a keyboard of around 20 inches (Hopefull with blue switches and RBG, etc) which apparently doesnt exist. And in my almost monthly search for bigger keyboards I found this and I honestly love your persistence and dedication to making a custom keyboard, let alone a huge huge keyboard.
Great video. I'm sorry it was such a difficult journey relatively speaking, but I am impressed with the recovery processes you and your team performed.
Man, Glarses doesn’t deserve multiple sponsor brands pulling out like that. This man has never failed to make encouraging, entertaining videos that push the limits of custom keyboards. I always get a laugh out of it, and some hype like some shonen anime.
@Racer Pepe The world first Macintosh was built in Steve Jobs garage in 1976, in Cupertino, California. 😅
I’d say if he ever moved to an actual office he could probably retire the iron board for a set prop.
@Racer Pepe
I mean Michael Reeves gets sponsors
I would trust him with 12k far less than some guy making a keyboard lmao
@Ace_ Jellyfish I guess the fact that it's all being done on an ironing board and a dremel in an appartment with failing electricity..? Solely based on that description, would you trust someone with 12k?
@Ace_ Jellyfish I would think inconsistent upload schedule probably but that’s about it.
The moral of this story is to make sure all of your custom parts are ordered to fit, so you don't have to jury-rig it.
“And then he pulled out a normally large keyboard, and he wept, for there were no more worlds left to conquer”~Louie Armstrong
stay strong brother. Your videos are amazing and crazy and i love them. I really enjoy watching your content and it also inspired me to buy my first mechanical keyboard.
I'm a General Hobbyist because I like to at least try making anything at least once. I've never been tempted to build a mechanical keyboard, despite how many videos I've watched covering the process. Until now. Not a giant one, but I did source a kit. Just what I needed, another way to avoid doing laundry.
mad respect bro this is impressive and im proud of u
"This feels like a bad idea but I'm all out of good ideas" feels like a way too badass line to be in a video about a guy building a giant keyboard
bor
u know that u could have used a soldering iron to weld the broken pla stabilizer back together without having to hold the glue for so long (although u have to clean the soldering iron after). Also when 3d printing interlocking parts, u wanna leave a couple (2-5) mm of extra free space for the parts to fit together, as 3d printing usually can't get dimensions perfect for a perfect fit.
great vid tho :D. I loved the designated solder fan holder person XD.
Also, 14:22 - I feel that. Literally my projects in a nutshell.
PS. It looks like u bought ur 3d printed parts from a online service. If u use a lot of custom parts, its a lot cheaper if u can buy a 3d printer and learn how to print yourself (there is a learning curve cuz they never want to work quite right). Go for a resin one cuz its a lot more accurate. U can make parts bigger than the printer if you use the plastic welding technique I mentioned before w/ some sanding for aesthetics.
My god man, this video was a ride. I really hope you're able to make back the money you put into this thing. The stress, ingenuity, more stress, and the fact that you managed to actually pull it off.... huge props to you. Wish I had the balls. Good luck to you on everything in your future. Seems like you have the guts to get through it all. Mad love and respect from the states.
You 3 together are a lot of fun!
Enthusiasts: bouncy typing feel is good
Glarses keyboard: 11:26
Wow, this was amazing! I must say that was probably the best 19:04 minutes I've spent all of 2023! It had everything, failures upon failures, stress, good friends (make that amazing friends considering what you made them go through) and that last minute fixing!
Sir, sir, am I allowed to finish my exam while you're correcting it?
my man could afford a 12k keyboard but has an ironing board as a desk😂
"afford" a $12000 keyboard
thats priority for you!
Thanks for all the effort you put in to make this video happen. The end product is incredible. Keep up the good work! 👍
"Everything that could go wrong went wrong and then everyting that couldnt go wrong also went wrong" my new favourite quote
The sheer determination of this man… to build a keyboard so big that the only viable way to use it is hunt and peck… and the key caps don’t even have lettering on them. 😂
Cool build. When’s the mass production starting?
Here is Glarses secret:
The channel isn't just about keyboards but is secretly a keyboard itself.
If you have an issue with the stabilizer bar later, try using a first aid pad, they are very thin and will provide better support. Soak it in a super glue and wrap it around once and let it dry completely, then if you want, put another layer to double down. sand away the rough parts and it should be strong enough.
It's insane that you were so mad that Razer wouldn't sell you their giant keyboard, that you went and custom made your own even bigger one. Props to you my man!
@Chill out lil bro k
@Jkiller06
Your reasons for using the internet is not more valid than other peoples reasons for using it.
@Jkiller06
Yes it was a sentence. It was however *also* a comment. They don't exclude each other.
Sentence: "a set of words that is complete in itself, typically containing a subject and predicate, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main clause and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses."
Such a shame that 880k people saw his video and only 10% of them liked it. He spend a week building this keyboard, this should have a lot more likes.
How have I only just found this channel. It’s brilliant and I can tell you put in a lot of effort.
Came here out of curiousity, but fell in love with your innovative determination. Subbed!
.. I never thought I'd think of a man who makes epic keyboards as a legend. But I was wrong. Legend.

This guy is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will
hell hath no fury like... man with pure spite in his heart after brand refuses to sell giant keyboard.
- shakespeare, probably
john wick with a stick
nice to see you outside your comfort zone using some actual tools and fixing things
Just wanted to mention that since you had a soldering iron you could melt the broken 3D printed stabilizer back together and the weld would be way stronger than any of the glue or tape being used.
14:22 spoken like a true developer 😂
Just a tip: when something 3d printed breaks you can put a soldering iron on ~200C and more or less “weld” the two bits together. Holds really strong as well
The tension throughout, I was literally gasping at points. Amazing video thank you
This looks like some found footage horror movie for keyboards, and yeah this project looks terrifying :D good job!
what an amazing accomplishment! very cool seeing it come together, hope you got a good rest after!
Love your content man, glad you're monetising for bigger projects now
ngl i don't watch your videos to watch keyboard related content but rather your videos are just so entertaining and you should keep making them i love the humour and editing style
Never in my life would I have thought someone could make me binge multiple videos about keyboards, but here we are I love this man it’s so good lmao
Literally every single thing that could have gone wrong went wrong even the sponsors
(this is my most liked comment :DDD)
The determination of this man is something else, wtf
Mission Passed! Respect +
this guy is truly amazing
What I enjoyed the most is not the big keyboard, is how you handled all your challanges!
For the "STABILIZER WIRE" the best thing to do would have been use super gluse and then once you join the two pieces, you sprinkle BAKING SODA on the joint and it swtrengthens the glue and also dries it instantly... Next time get piano wire or just thin steel wire and heat up the wire where you want to bend the corners with a plumbers torch and you're good! You can even use a piece of wood like a 2x4 or fence slat as a stencil. Just cut the wood to the length you need the wire to be and bend the wire around the three edged of the wood...
OMG this man has talent love the vids And what a cool keyboard
The storytelling in this video is incredible. Your videos cheer me up so much, hope you make more.
This mans dedication to keyboards is insane.
Glarses proving once and for all that he is the most insane keyboard youtuber. 10/10 mate.
I really don't know what to say except this feels like one of those diy shows, but really personal and interesting. First video I've watched from this channel and I'm immediately hooked.
Using what sounds a lot like Raise My Sword at 1:53 was a powerful low-key shout-out
Its super cool and good work was put on it, would have been nice to see a full practical run-through of it working though.
Oh my im glad the ironing board didnt break! And also, Nice Video!! I loved every second of it! Thank you sir, for the entertainment.
@njnj Nice to know im not the only one haha!
I was worried about that too. I have no idea how much the case weighed, but seeing him lift it, it looked heavy.
Thats quite a lot of lieks, wow.
@Curious Lamp ?
Got utterly shocked by the fact that you used that song in the intro. Absolute banger although It would be nice if you put it in the description aswell. For anyone wondering what the song is it's 337x6 by Cateen
Watching them try to use glue makes me feel competent. Great video and a fantastic example of the indomitable human spirit.
I love how much pettiness and spite is in this video😂
It's great
I would love to see someone coding on that. Do you have to extend your arms to reach the "ESC" and "backspace" keys?
Thank you for the lovely video. 😀
4:35 My boi got racing stripes to go faster.
