Comment below and let me know how you want me to rebuild the other blue Logitech G710+! Switches (I will make sure to lube + spring swap them as I always do): - Cherry MX Reds - Cherry MX Blues (same ones) - KTT Roses - Frankenswitch (Cherry MX top, UHMWPE MM stems, bottoms) - Gat Raws - Another switch (let me know) Mods: - Polyfill - Zip-and-fit/shelf liner - Kilmat - Any others (let me know) Overall Sound: - low pitched and more quiet/muted - high pitched and loud
Could try jailhouse modding the stock Blues (o-ring method is the easiest to source and cheap) + adding 1.2mm ball bearings for shorter travel + extra thock, and, of course, tape mod and foam would help. (I've only done zip and fit so idk if others would work better).
Haha, turns out, it can be kinda fun to try and revive our old gamer boards! Not that I did the best with this one (or the second one), but the process itself was pretty fun
The Heracles 80 video by :3ildcat is one of my favorite sounding boards. I love that poppy, marbly sound. If you can replicate that and then go crazy with the sound tests, I’d be in heaven.
@@DaLizMs ohhhh you mean replacement keycaps? There are some keycaps that do let light shine through and even the legends, however, it will be hard to get a correct size spacebar because this keyboard uses a spacebar size that isn't common. What country are you in? I can tell you about some places where you can get keycaps, but I don't know about the spacebar
Idk, I have mixed feelings about the finished results. It sounds better, definetly, but now you can really hear the lackluster quality to an extreme degree. It is just very weird for some reason
For sure. Especially since the browns were suuuper broken in to the point where perhaps a spring swap and lubing them (as well as lubing the stock stabs of course) and then installing them straight back into the board might've even resulted in a much better sound than the emogogo switches. I actually have plans for the browns in another board, hence why I didn't install them back haha (definitely my most broken in switch of all-time since I had been typing on that board for 5+ years). I think when we get to modding and picking the switches for the MX Blues board, leaning into a foamy sound signature may be a better option versus simply swapping the switches like i did on the browns board

@@nothlur Very intriguing, thanks for the ideas!
Sounds much cleaner afterwards! Why does it feel bad to put nice switches in this board? Let’s go KTT roses with polyfill
@@keypothecary aye, great choice!
@@keypothecary feels bad cause you know you aren't gonna get the most out of them :(
wow! I had this board before. Now I regret giving it away. It sounds really good!

Hi
😊 thanks again for the switches!
i see Keris dagger
Yes!! I was born in Semarang, so it is a Keris that we have at home in Javanese that says "kesempatan ora teko kaping pindho"
Bald reveaaal!!?
🥸
I got 2 of these keyboards, Can I get replacement buttons? Can you point me somewhere?
Do you mean switches? To replace the Cherry MX browns or blues?
ya but does the light shine thought the letters and numbers? prolly not.
