I'm really into audio production, and I would re-record the video without using a mechanical keyboard, and ideally not in an echo-y room. It's not very watchable right now. In addition to using a noisy keyboard not appropriate for video recording, you type very hard / angrily. Switching to a quieter keyboard with low key travel might help you prevent RSI in the future.

Thanks Steve for the feedback!
Low key travel will probably make it worse if you don’t have an effective way to learn modify your behavior. The substantially lower key travel when Apple rolled out chiclet-style keyboards on MacBook Pros trashed my fingers and wrists.

I don’t think I was a particularly aggressive typer, but I was accustomed to one key travel distance and then it changed significantly. Nowadays I need a keyboard with pretty good key travel. That basically limited laptop options to certain Lenovo models until Apple started increasing the distance with the M1 redesign.
