- We're going head to
head to see who can build the quietest keyboard ever. Jake's got one hour and I've got 10. - [Jake] Wait, I only have an hour? - Yes, let's get started. He thinks he's going to
win, but he's going down. We're both starting
with the same keyboards. And at the end, we'll see who wins. There's a prize involved. - [Jake] What's the prize? You get to pick where we eat. Time starts now. - I gotta go! I got my keyboard here. There's a lot of stuff I need
to do. Let's get started. - We both got the same
keyboard, the LTC nimbleback. It's like, this is what
it sounds like stock. (keyboard clicking) Not the most quiet keyboard on the planet, but you know what? I'm going to be transforming this thing into just wonderful goodness. - First thing I've gotta do
is take apart this keyboard. Luckily Betty gave me
the fancy iFixit toolkit. - So what I'm left with is using the tools that are provided in the box
and you know how that goes. It's not good. Okay, okay. So this keyboard actually
comes with some nice tools. I thought I was going to have
to get arthritis or something. Speed run! (dramatic music) Oh, I almost lost one. - He's going to help me win. Don't worry. Since I only had an hour, I
bought some really good stuff. She's definitely going down. - My key caps are off. There's no way he can win this though. I literally modded 50 keyboards. I made them all sound amazing. And he's maybe modded one. Okay. Two, two. Let's give him some credit.
Let's give him some credit. We all know, you and me, we all know who's going to win here. - If you want a life hack, pull the switches out and the
key caps at the same time, it will save you so much time. I actually came up with a genius idea. I'm going to turn off the AC
because it gets really hot in the studio with all the lights on. She's going to be in there for 10 hours. She's going to be, she's
going to be getting hot. I am not above sabotage. - Let's go check up on him.
He's got plenty of time. How's it going in here, Mr. I
don't got time to do anything? Wow, taking your keyboard apart. - You only gave me an hour. Hey, is it feeling a little
hot for you in there? - What's that supposed to mean? - So, he's actually more ahead
than I thought he would be. I thought I was speed
running this, but I'm not. Here; my silicone mixture. And I haven't read the instructions yet. So let's, let's do that. - Got the silicone, in the case goes. You want to see something
really satisfying? (music stops) Whoa. - Here's the case. I need to blue tape any areas that I think the mold will get into. There's a lot of crevasses
and I need to protect it from oozing out of every hole. 45 minutes left! - Okay. I added the foam and I
know it doesn't look perfect, but I have about 45 minutes left. So I need to move on
to the next thing fast. I bought myself a nice
pack of silence switches. So these will be way more quiet
than the red switches that come into the keyboard, these ones. Look how pretty they are. They're so quiet. (dramatic music) (keyboard clicking softly) - Side A, side B. (liquid pouring) All of A. So now, it's red and white. I just mixed. It's surprisingly,
already starting to set. I've actually gotten more
than nine hours left. So I'm just going to go
and make fun of Jake. - I hate to say it, but I
got to spray lube these. I don't have enough time to hand lube. It'll get messy, so I'm headed outdoors - For some reason, he's outside. So I've got to go check out on him. - [Betty] What is that? - This right here? It's a lubricant. - [Betty] Point it away, point it-- no! (aerosol spraying) - [Betty] So if you don't
know what's going on here, Jake is adding lube to switches
to make them quiet in a really fast, but also lazy way. And it smells horrible. Just horrible. It's also really messy
and looks disgusting. I don't know if he showed it to you, but he added a ton of dielectric
grease to the stabilizers too, with a syringe. - It was honestly like the
most disgusting thing I've ever done. Ugh. Now, I have to spend like
10 minutes cleaning this up. And I probably only have
like 20 minutes left. - I've got some switches, some silent switches from Divinikey. (switch clicking) I mean, can you even hear them? And I'm going to make them
super quiet by thoroughly, potentially over-lubing them. Oh. - [Betty] Five more seconds. Five. - [Jake] Wait! - [Betty] One and three quarters. Zero, time is up. - What have you done so far? - [Betty] One thing. - It's an hour. I've done all this and
you've only done one thing? - [Betty] I'm just gonna take
my wonderful tool box back. - [Jake] I see you have to
hand lube your switches. - They're going to
sound better than yours, Mr. I did an abominable
thing to my switches. - [Jake] Did you say indomitable? I said abysmal. Found this awesome video that's way more important to the situation
at hand, and it's called lube keyboards switches fast 2021. Apparently, there's a new
method or something like that, but I don't know why I
need to lube them fast. I have plenty of time. You should have watched it. At this point, I was
really starting to regret that I was stuck building this
keyboard for 10 whole hours. Lubing is exhausting, but
it's even more exhausting when Jake doesn't help me do it. I also watched a ton of YouTube
videos and ended up filming the switches for maximum sound goodness. I don't like that I have
to do this for 10 hours, but I know that with all this work, I'm going to win this challenge, and Jake's one hour
keyboard is going down. I'm so close to finishing my
entire keyboard build and I can't wait to be declared
the winner of this quietest keyboard challenge. 10 hours is a really long time. I know I'm going to win the
challenge and pick what we're going to be eating tonight. Honestly, I wish I had gone the one
hour part of the deal, because this is so tiring, but there's a few more hours left, so I've got to mod stabilizers. I'm going to clip them, Bandaid mod them, do all the good stuff and some extras too. I took a nap and I modded my stabilizers with every single mod under the sun. And they're really quiet. And I put my switches in. No one has 24 hours to let
their silicone mold cure, So it's good enough. I poured too much, and
now we're doing surgery. I'm a master at this. Yeah, I sharpen my own knives. (battle music) Ah, I'm bleeding! Surgery is complete. Extra
fat has been removed. Surgery was a success,
the patient has survived. It sticks out this much. - [Jake] Wait, what? - It won't go down. - [Jake] Is that blood? - No, it's just extra silicone,
see. It comes right off. I'm pushing the boundaries of science. It actually closes, that's pretty crazy. Now, for the key caps. Just ignore the extra
silicone around it everywhere. These key caps are special. Are the kinetic labs octopus. because octopuses make zero noise. And there's a bonus. O rings. We are super close to the end. (intense music) - I'm finished. I was just cleaning up. My keyboard is better than your keyboard. - [Jake] Why does it, why
does it look like that? - Because octopuses. - This is my keyboard, the superior one. - And this is Betty's. You know, it looks pretty good, but you don't really know
what it actually sounds like til we test it out, so. Here's mine. (keys clicking) It's pretty good. Oh, sh-- (Betty laughing) - Why is it that yours is so quiet? Wait, what? - [Betty] Do you want to
know what I did? O rings. - Oh, the O rings, that's what it is. - [Betty] The O rings! - It was definitely the
O rings that did it. - It's my turn to take a
look at these quiet keyboards and use mine first,
cause I know it's better. And now yours. Your space bar doesn't move. - [Jake] It's lubed, okay? - Lubed. It literally doesn't move. - [Jake] It does. It's moving. I see nothing wrong with that. - It doesn't bounce back. - [Jake] It does, you just
have to give it a second. - I'm going to say, it is pretty obvious
who's the winner here. Me. But then again, I did get 10 hours. - Plus, your keyboard smells. - [Jake] Oh, god. - It smells so bad. - [Jake] It does smell really bad. It smells like burnt plastic. - Ugh. I am the winner! I pick where we eat
tonight, let's do sushi. (keys clicking) (keys clicking) - [Betty] My soup. Oh, yeah.
