I built an #IRyS keyboard.
122How amazing is Hololive EN's new VSinger IRyS?? I built my current daily driver keyboard to commemorate her incredible debut.
I love building keyboards and I enjoy VTuber streams so I figured I may as well do both at once. IRyS has had 2.5 amazing streams (I'm writing this as she's live now!) and I have no doubt that she's gonna shine in the future.
I love the texture and sound of ePBT caps along with the POM Linears, and the AV3 just sings with the FR4 plate and long-pole switches - these guys are a match made in heaven. I've still got a bit of tuning work to do on the stabilizers but... who doesn't? The IFK Port caps are pretty comfortable as well, and the PBT 8008 clones surprised me with their quality as well - aside from a few inconsistent legends in the number row, they are pretty great.
I'd love to do more of these in the future for other VTubers and with other cool keyboards but it's quite expensive to do so, so please consider subscribing and checking out my other videos to support me!
